I just set up an Optus Cisco DPQ3925 wireless router to access higher speed internet I signed up for. I have a 4th gen airport extreme I want to put in another room and use as a wifi extender the wifi but I get an error message each time I try. Help?

Hello all.
I have just set up a new cisco DPQ3925 wireless router that Optus sent me to be able to access the higher speed internet I have signed up for.
I have a 4th gen apple extreme that I want to use to extend the wifi but when I try to update the settings via the airport utility I get a message that says it cannot do so, and to check it is in range and the wifi is set up correctly. I'm not experienced with these things but I can't think what I have done wrong.
Is anybody able to help me please.

You cannot use the AE to extend wireless from a non apple router such as your cisco modem router.. they are not compatible..
You need to tie to the two devices together either with ethernet or something like EOP adapters.. They are about $120 and you can price match in officeworks.

  • IOS6.1.2 downloaded but won't install. I get an error message each time that states I am not connected to the Internet but I am. Any ideas?

    I downloaded the update just after it came out but it wouldn't install. It is in the software update section in settings but I can't install it. When verifying I get an error message saying that it can't be installed because I am not connected to the Internet, yet I am connected.

  • I'm unable to install the Mac os x 10.7.3 update.  I get an error message each time my macbook tries to install the downloaded updates.  Can anyone help me?

    Each time my macbook restarts and tries to install the downloaded software updates, I get an error message telling me that there might have been an error during the download process of the updates and that he's unable to install the updates.  What can I do?

    What are you trying to download? If you are referring to the recent security update, just ignore the error and select the option to open the installer. It's fine.

  • Itunes won't update.  I download the updates, but then get an error message that they failed to install.

    For many weeks now, my iTunes has failed to update.  I download the updates and they go through the installation process, but then I get an error message that they failed to install.  How can I update?

    Wild guess but if your WinXP system has formatted your drive(s) as FAT32 then the maximum file size is 4GB.  Could be that the download in 1080p is >4GB?  (if formatted NTFS then this should not be a problem).
    Again just a guess with iTunes on WinXP but something easy to check first.

  • Trying to download the 3.1 update and am getting an error message each time

    Hey all!
    I've been trying since this morning to download the 3.1 update for my 1st gen. iPod touch. I've been trying to download the update 6x now and now I am frustrated! Each time, it's within the very last seconds of the update that an error message pops up and says " There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod..The network connection timed out." Ugh, I am connected and I have been connected, so what's up with it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for the quick response Anna. If nothing else,atleast I know I'm not the only one. I just talked to my dad and he said he downloaded his update this morning, just fine. I told him about the network connectivity issue and he said it sounded like Apple had too many people downloading the update at the same time. I certainly hope that's it. Though part of that makes no sense, seeing that the update was released a couple days ago!

  • "general installation error" message each time I try and install Flashplayer 13

    I cannot install the latest version of flashplayer. during the installation I keep getting a "general installation error" message.
    I have un-installed my old version of flashplayer and followed all the trouble shootong tips but to no avail.
    My system is a macintosh, operating with 10.8.5. Any help would be gratefully received......

    It should be 13.0.0.206.
    Download the following:
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers) or http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/i nstall_flash_player_13_plugin.msi
    Flash Player Uninstaller
    Also, download these:
    Shockwave Player Uninstaller
    Shockwave Player 112 FULL installer (Other browsers)
    Save all the files and close your browser.
    Run the uninstallers first (both of them)
    Go to: C/Windows/System32
    Delete the Macromed folder.
    Go to: C/Windows/SysWOW64
    Delete the Macromed folder.
    Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key + R and type 'regedit' [minus the quotes] and click OK)
    In the Registry Editor, go to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE
    Delete the Macromedia folder (Right click and choose "Delete").
    Go to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder there too.
    Close the Registry Editor and empty your recycle bin.
    Run the Flash Player installer, and then the Shockwave FULL installer you downloaded.

  • Since installation of 8.1.2 I get an error message each time I use the browser--"a problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded". I have iPad 2.

    I Have an iPad 2. Since download of iOS 8.1.2 every time I use the browser--usually Google --this message comes up "a problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded". Touchpad also seems slow and jerky.

    Its not necessarily freezing - just being slow to build.
    May have something to do with this being a secured site - I an giving Opera a test run & this part of the apple site does not go into compressed load - but the non-secure parts of the site do.  The issue may be that some sites like apples just have too much unimportant junk on the screen because the designers are on an internal network a few offices away from the server and never see all the issues that com up.

  • I suddenly am unable to retrieve my emails.  I discussed this with my Internet provider, but still get an error message and can't access my emails.  Any suggestions???

    I am unable to retrieve my emails since yesterday.  I called Time Warner Cable, my Internet provider, but they could not help me; they stated that the settings had changed, since they were upgrading.  I adjusted the settings, but still get an error message: 
              Alert
              There may be a problem with the mail server or network.  Verify the settings for account "Mail 1" or try again.
              The server returned the error:  The connection to the server "smtp.roadrunner.com" on port 110 timed out.
    I changed the server, and the port, as Time Warner Cable tech rep recommended, but to no avail.  They recommended I delete my current email account and recreate it, but that I check with Apple first, because I might lose my contact list (and any email messages I'd previously saved!?).  They suggested Apple might be able to tell me how to not lose the contacts, emails, profile.
    Any help would be appreciated.
