How do I reset my airport extreme password if I don't remember it?

How do I reset my password on the airport extreme if I forgot?

You need to reset your airport by pressing the small reset button in the back for 1 second. I'd advise you to export all of your settings to a file first so that you can restore them if you run into any problems. I believe that the default reset password that's good for something like 5 minutes is either public or admin.

How do I setup my Airport Extreme so that I can extend the coverage of my existing AT&T wifi network?

How do I setup my Airport Extreme so that I can extend the coverage of my existing AT&T wifi network?

Start by establishing a permanent fixed Ethernet cable connection from one of the available LAN <-> ports on the ATT modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
Ethernet cabling can be run up to 300+ feet or 100 meters, so you should be able to locate the AirPort Extreme exactly where it will be needed to provide more wireless signal coverage.
Configure the AirPort Extreme to "create" a wireless network using exactly the same wireless network name, same wireless security setting, and same wireless network password that the ATT wireless is using.
The final step is to insure that the AirPort Extreme is configured to operate in Bridge Mode, so it will work correctly with the ATT modem/router.
If you need more specific steps, we need to know what operating system you are using on your Mac or PC. If you have a Mac and do not know which operating system it is using.....click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X version number that you see there.

How do I access my airport extreme drives online

how do I access my airport extreme drives over the internet?

Here are the basic steps to share an AirPort Disk over the Internet.
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn,) and then, note the IP address shown.
Select Manual Setup.
Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
Click on Update.
To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
Enter the DynDNS-provided Domain Name or Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
Click Connect.
You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
Click Connect.

HT3728 how do I change my Apple Extreme password

how do I change my Apple Extreme password

It is extremely unlikely that someone has guessed your password unless you used something really obvious like "your name", "password", "default", etc as the password.
It might first make sense to find out how many devices are connected to your wireless network. If you "see" 4 devices, and you only own 3, then you might have an unwanted guest on the network.
To find out....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you double click on the AirPort Exteme icon
Look at the number of currently connected wireless devices (Clients). You can perform this check from time to time to keep tabs on your wireless network.
If the speed on your network has slowed down, there are likely other wireless networks around you that are interfering with your signal. You need to restart the AirPort Extreme again so that it will automatically scan and select the best available channel to use at the time.
To do this, simply pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme, wait 10-15 seconds, and then plug it back in.
If you want to change the password for the network, open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears.
Now click the Wireless tab at the top of the window.
Edit out the Wireless Password and type in then new password, then do the same to Verify Password.
I would also recommend that you change the Wireless Network Name.
Click the Update button at the lower right to save the changes.

How do I use my airport extreme with my FIOS router?

How do I use my AirPort Extreme base station with my FIOS Router to extend my network? I have hard disks connected to my AirPort Extreme and would lik to access them.

Probably can't answer all your questions - but.... I use a Linksys (wired and wireless) router as my primary entry point for FIOS. I use a Time Capsule and an Airport Express as a common wireless connection. So I have two visibile wireless networks and use them both depending on where I am in the house. Both the TC and AEx can be seen either wirelessly or wired from the entire network. Note - the Linksys provides all the DHCP - you set the apple routers as "bridge mode."

How do i use the airport extreme to extend my wireless network

How do i connected my airport extreme up to my existing network so that it can extend my wireless through out the house ??
Can it be done wirelessly or do i need an ethernet cable thats about 10m ?
Keith

The AirPort Exteme can "extend" your existing wireless network (using wireless only) if it is being provided by another Apple router.
If your current main router is not an Apple product, then you will need to plan to connect the AirPort Extreme to your router using an Ethernet cable.
Post back for more information if needed.

How do i add my airport extreme to my DSL WIFI Modem to expand my network

I have a DSL MODEM with WIFI. It replaced my Airport Extreme as a router.
How can I use the Airport Extreme in conjunction to expand my wifi service through out my house.
AIRPORT EXTREME MODELA 1354
Modem is a Qwest PK5000z

Ok, the Airport Utility Program NOW shows the globe, a green light next to the word internet
below, there is a now a yellow triangle next to AirPort Extreme with an ! in it. """the messase to the right says
Diveic Not Found:Airport Extremem was previously part of your net work Check that is still in range of you network
(it is it's right next to the PK5000) it's plugged in. Forgetting this device removes it from this network."""
AND NOW
Bob, I can now see where I missed the fact that to do this the Airport had to be Wired_via ethernet,
I was looking for it to be a boost wirelessly, not tethered.
I’m not at liberty to modify the living space I am living in, holes and such and have cable run up exposed.
Again, ignorance on my #1 status. This has been very informative but I do see where I can't accomplish what I wanted to do, have a booster in another room wirelessly.
I think what I need to do is restore the Airport to factory setting and sit on it, not literally.
I can't thank you enough for taking all this time with me. I trust you understand what I wanted and you did your best to provide.
So I guess that's it for now.
I'll look to you in the future, you really know your stuff
All the best to you from MN

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.

How do I get my airport extreme to stop recycling? Using OSX 10.7.4, Airport Utility 6.1

How do I get my Airport Extreme to stop recycling? I'm using OSX 10.7.4 and Airport Utility 6.1.

The Airport Extreme is putting out the signal OK. Gan use my iPod no prob. The Mac goes from 'On' to 'looking for networks' back and forth all the time.
As Apple has said the AirPort Extreme is functioning correctly if other devices can connect. You have a Mac issue, so that is really a question for the support area for your Mac.
I suggest that you try one of these general areas, then pick out the specific model that you have:

How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?

How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?

OK. The 6.0 version no longer has a printer configuration that I could find. You might try Printer Sharing in the Sharing preferences.
I would also check the printer's user manual for help with the setup, and that failing check the manufacturer's website and/or tech support.
