How do I connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to Epson 645 Printer?

I can't figure out how to connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to my Epson 645 Printer.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks!

You may want to try reinstalling Mavericks. Airport Utility installed by Mavericks may no longer connect to your older AEBS (though I've not heard that.) Installing the Old AirPort Utility (Version 5.6) on Mountain Lion | frank.is.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
     Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
     Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select ReinstallLion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from
     the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                three times faster than wireless.

  • Not able to see disk connected to AirPort Extreme 802.11n

    I just installed my AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wireless Base station. Wireless internet works like a charm, however, I cannot see my external hard disk when it is connected to the base station (amber light blinking and when checking the problem, I am told that "Disk needs repair"). When connecting the hard disk directly to the PC, I have no problem seeing the data. Any tips or tricks out there... ?
    AirPort Extreme 802.11n   Windows XP  

    I finally got my 500 GB Western Digital MyBook USB drive to work by reformatting it to HFS+ format.
    Of course, before I could do that, I had to copy all my files onto another hard drive. That job took a day to accomplish.
    I work with Poser, and have a lot of content installed... We're talking thousands of files.
    Once the drive was reformatted to HFS+ format, I copied everything back over. That took another day. Then I connected to the AEBS.
    The USB drive was immediately recognized. It was incredibly easy to access the USB drive on my PCs. It required no effort on my part, except to supply the password.
    In the end, I've decided this effort is a failure.
    The drive is way too slow for my needs. Also, one of my vital Poser utilities (CorrectReference Pro) will not work properly with the USB drive on the AEBS.
    I am currently in the process of copying all those files over to two external USB hard drives attached to my other PC.
    Then I plan to unmount my 500 GB MyBook drive, and reformat it back to NTFS. I'll let the Notebook PC have it on a direct connection again.
    I have a couple "junk" External Hard drives that are 160 GB. Maybe I'll use one of those as an Airport disk...
    But I won't be using the Airport disk for anything important. It's too slow.

  • XP sp3 cannot see usb hard drive connected to airport extreme 802.11n

    I have a sata drive that the airport utility recognizes. I attempted to follow the instructions from post HT1331 but no luck yet. I also reformatted the drive from ntfs to fat32 using vista but with the same result.
    I found another post while writing this one which solved my problem. It turns out how I formatted the drive wasn't usable by AEBS.
    Connecting Large USB Hard Drives to Airport Extreme
    I needed to format the drive using the instructions found below.
    http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
    After doing this and plugging in the drive I was able to use the drive intended. Since I had started the post I figured I would list the solution.
    Cheers!

    I don't think two problem are related. Now, for PC, try to disable the firewall software if you ave one. Some firewall can block it, like for ex PC Tools firewall, or ZonaAlarm. Some of them you can configure to work with disk agent.

  • Connecting with AirPort Extreme 802.11n

    Could someone please provide instructions in plain english, no computer jargon or techie stuff, exactly how to connect to the internet with my Airport Extreme? Apple support is no help, I cannot understand the terminology they use and my brand new MacBook doesn't seem to have all the same features that they're telling me are on it, so I don't know what to click.
    What a mistake buying this overly complex Apple product! This is my third MacBook, I hope somehow I can get this thing running!

    It's a good thing that you didn't try this with a Windows based computer!
    I suggest that you call the "Geek squad" or something similar close to your geographical location. There is absolutely no way to explain this to you without using "computer jargon or techie stuff". To configure a computer and a network you must use those terms.

  • Airport Extreme (802.11n) - Unable to wirelessly print

    I have an airport extreme and have been printing wirelessly (Canon MP510) from my iMac and Macbook since I purchased the AE a little over a month ago. Suddenly I can no longer print from either computer. The only thing I've done differently is to use the printer to make some copies. I don't know if this use has messed something up. The printer shows up as the default printer, but when I call up the info on the printer when it should be printing, it shows that the printer is searching for signal. Hope someone can help.

    I was able to get the printer to print again after unplugging the AE and leaving it off for a minute, then replugging. Printer works again, YEAH!!!

  • How far away can you connect to the internet from Airport Extreme (802.11n)

    How far can i take my Laptop away from Airport Extreme (802.11n) and still have internet connection

    According to:
    http://www.apple.com/au/airportexpress/
    They claim the Extreme has a 45m range:
    "Suppose you want to connect to the Internet with your PowerBook in an area that lies beyond the 45 metre range of your AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station"
    Will you be using all N devices? G?, B? or a combination?

  • Connecting AirPort Express to AirPort Extreme 802.11n

    The following steps helped me set up an AirPort Express base station connected to a set of wireless speakers with my new AirPort Extreme 802.11n base station. I’m posting this because the process was not entirely intuitive, at least not to me.
    I’ll assume you have set up the AP Extreme base station to connect to the internet and run your home network and that you are connected to your wireless network.
    Make sure you set-up the AP Extreme base station to broadcast in 802.11n + 802.11b/g modes, i.e. both at once. You will also have to check he setting that allows the newtork to be extended.
    Reset the AP Express base station so that in runs on the factory defaults by pressing the reset button with a paper clip. Wait for it to completely restart.
    Launch the AirPort Utility. You should see both your AP Extreme and AP Express base stations in the left hand column. Click on the AP Express base station you just reset. When it asks to switch wireless networks do so. Then hit continue.
    On the next screen select “Connect to my current wireless network” option and hit continue.
    On the following screen select the “Extend the range of my AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express network” and hit continue. Do NOT select the “Join my wireless network” option even though it says this is how you connect to wireless speakers. This is the part that was not obvious to me. When I tried this the AirPort Express base station flashed orange and wouldn’t connect despite waiting 30 minutes.
    Chose the network you wish to extend from the drop down menu. My keychain supplied the password for the network.
    Give your base station a name and hit continue.
    Select the main base station in the list provided. This is the one connected to the internet and hit ok.
    The Airport Utility software will configure the network to accept the AirPort Express base station.
    Now all that’s left is to connect your wireless speakers to the AirPort Exppress base station. You can now play music through AirTunes while being connected to your fast 802.11n network.

    I recently setup an Airport Express in conjuction with my Extreme Base Station. I'm not really understanding how this method enables 802.11n connection speeds (via Base Station) to the internet and also allow streaming music through the Express at 802.11b/g. It's my understanding that if you want to be able to access the internet AND stream music at the same time the Express needs to join the network. In order for the Express to join the network (able to recognize the Base Station)...the Base station needs to be changed from 802.11n only to 802.11n (802.11b/g compatable)....which essentially means your connecting to the internet at 802.11b/g. If your wanting to keep 802.11n only on the base station...you would have to create a seperate network via the Express to stream music. What this means is you CANNOT access the internet and stream music at the same time. You would have to manually change Airport in the taskbar to do one or the other.
    Am I off base here? If I am missing something please let me know...because it would be great to be able to connect to the internet at 802.11n only with a multi-case rate set to 23Mbps vs. the 11Mbps (maximum) of the 802.11b/g compatable option.
    I guess what is confusing me is that my setup is basically the same as what was described above..minus having the "Extended Network" being enabled. How does extending the network change things?

    I'm not sure how to post a message. I hope this might interest someone. The situation; 3 floors,I am having trouble with an an Airport Extreme, 802.11n on the top floor and a Mac Pro 3.1 on the bottom floor. Not always but often it has trouble seeing the Airport and making a connection. I have an older Airport Express, would it help to install it? would it work best if it was installed in the same room? should it be installed half way in between? Get another Extreme? The Mac Book Pro on the middle floor can see 11 networks in the neighbourhood if that might be causing a problem or would if I installed the Express. Thank for your consideration.   

    Thanks for your time ... I appologize for the font and colour, I compossed the question in pages and failed to notice the font colour as grey ... there are a variety of computers of various ages so I think it is using a setting that allows both 5G and 2.4 ... the connection to the Airport is thru a cable modem and cable does run throuhout the house ... maybe those hard wires would be a place to look at ... do you think that putting the 'Express' on the second floor might help ... thanks again ...

  • How do I get a download since I don't have my start up disc for AirPort Extreme 802.11n

    How do I download to start using AirPort Extreme 802.11n.  I can't find my start up disc. and don't see any downloads on Apples website.  Then how do I hook it up to work with my Westell modem?

    Please download and install AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows.  The Windows Firewall and or Microsoft Security Essentials will tend to block the connection from your PC to the AirPort Extreme, so you may need to adjust the firewall settings on the PC or check the Essentials application if connection difficulties occur.

  • HP Printer not connected via Airport Extreme 802.11ac

    I recently upgraded from an Airport Extreme 802.11n to an ac and my HP D110 Photosmart printer is no longer connected wirelessly. Is this an HP issue and can it be resolved? Both MacBook Pro and iMac run Yosemite 10.1.1 and have great Internet connectivity. The printer worked fine until the Airport upgrade.

    You changed devices that provide your wireless network.....but the HP printer still thinks that you are using your old router since it has not been given instructions on how to connect to your "new" network.
    I don't have an HP printer here to check, but in general the process would be to reset the printer back to its original default settings, just as it came out of the box when it was new.....so you can then set it up to connect to the "new" network.
    Your HP Setup Guide will likely tell you how to do this. If not, you can contact HP Support for your printer using the link just below:

    With good luck, another user who might have the same printer may see this post and be able to offer more specific information.

  • How do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

    how do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

    Connect an Ethernet cable between the U-verse router's LAN port to the WAN (circle-of-dots) port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). Since you will have two routers in series, you will want to reconfigure the AEBS as a bridge. (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection tab > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode))

  • How do I connect my airport extreme to wifi as a repeater

    how do I connect my airport extreme to wifi as a repeater?

    Thanks for the info.
    Unfortunately, Apple has designed their routers to only extend or repeat the wireless signal from other Apple routers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that the AirPort Extreme would be able to extend or repeat a wireless signal from another manufacturer's router.
    I suppose that it could not hurt to try, but if the Extreme is still unopened, it might be a better idea to return the Extreme, get the information about the router at the neighbor's and then use a product from the same manufacurer that would be compatible to repeat or extend the wireless.

  • Help needed connecting Iomega Minimax Ext HDD to Airport Extreme 802.11n

    Would appreciate if someone can help me with the following task. After researching and trying several things, I have not succeed in resolving the issue.
    I want to connect a Iomega MiniMax Ext HDD (for Mac) to my (Airport Extreme 802.11n + Time Capsule) box using the USB port at the back of my Airport Extreme. Then I want to access the Ext HDD wirelessly as a drive on my Macbook (snow leopard OS). I was told this was possible at the Apple Store...but have failed so far.
    Any suggestions so far

    Hello smitra. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The following are the basic steps for sharing an external USB drive attached to either an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) or a Time Capsule (TC):
    o Plug the hard disk into the USB port on the back of the base station.
    o Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows
    o Select your base station, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click Disks in the toolbar, and then, click File Sharing.
    o Choose “With a disk password,” or “With base station password” if you want to secure the shared disk with a password, or choose “With accounts” if you want to secure the disk using accounts. If you choose to use accounts, click Configure Accounts, click the Add "+" button, and then enter a name and password for each user that will access the disk. For simplicity, I would recommend using the "With a disk password" option.
    o Choose “Not allowed,” “Read only,” or “Read and write” to assign guest access to the disk.
    o Select the “Share disks over Ethernet WAN port” checkbox if you want to provide remote access to the disk over the WAN port.
    You should now be able to find this drive within Finder under the SHARED category.

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi doesn't connect to printer

    So, I got the AirPort Extreme 802.11N Wi-Fi connected and working to my cable modem (good times), but now neither computer (PC or Mac) can connect through it to the printer (HP C4280 Aii-in-One) that we connected to the USB port on the back of it.
    Any idea what we're doing wrong here? Is there something that needs to be configured within the software of the router?

    Work your way through the Apple Troubleshooting Guide to see if that will help get the printer going.
    Bear in mind that only the print function will be supported when your device is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Scan, copy, fax, maintenance etc. are not supported, so if you need these functions, you will need to connect your all-in-one directly to the computer.
    The PC will need to have Bonjour for Windows installed. It's on the CD that came with the AirPort Extreme.
