Be sure to turn off the WiFi on the computer to insure that the connection will be over the Ethernet cable. If the modem is operating correctly and the AirPort is as well, the products should work together.Ĭheck to make sure that the modem is working correctly by connecting your computer directly to the modem using an Ethernet cable to make sure that you can get a good Internet connection that way. I don't have this specific model, but have used different Motorola modems with an AirPort router with no problems. Has anyone been successful using an AirPort Extreme with a Motorola MB7621? My speeds have dropped on WiFi and my modem is delivering around 450mbps on a 500mbps plan with a ethernet connection up from modem to computer. Can someone continue this answer? My question is how can I tell if my Extreme is no longer any good? It's a 2016 model. The original asker never followed up, but I need the answer. I am trying to track down if my AirPort Extreme is bad.
I did not originally ask this question, but I have the exact same question. If things have worked well up until this time, you have definitely had very good luck with your AirPort, but it is really time to replace the product.ĪirPort Extreme with a Motorola MB7621 Below is a paste of an old question that "no one has replied to in a while." Apple says ask it again. As LaPastenague has mentioned, your AirPort Extreme is 7+ years old and as much as 9+ depending on when it was placed into service. The average useful life of a WiFi router designed for home use is about 5 years, so there is that to consider as well. Sometimes, resetting the AirPort Extreme back to factory defaults an then setting it up again will help, but there are no guarantees that the hassle of doing this will result in a solution. If things are still acting up, there is not really much more than can be done.
This will force the AirPort Extreme to scan available WiFi channels and try to pick the best one to use at the time. If you have not already done so a few times, try powering off the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then power it back up.
It's very likely that other users are having the same kind of problems that you are. If you live in an apartment or another type of close quarters, it is possible that there are just too many other networks around you that are using up the available channels for WiFi. The 2.4 GHz band is by far the most crowded and congested place in WiFi.
