MAC Address on AirPort Express

How do I discover what the MAC Address is on an AirPort Express?
I'm using AirPort Utility and it does not seem to display anything about the MAC address for these devices.
Ideas?
Thanks
-Mike

Hi Bob,
I'm using 6.2 (Build 620.33)
I'm wondering if this is the issue because it seems like I've been able to obtain the MAC addresses of all of my AirPort Expresses and even my Time Capsule in the past.
But now several versions of AirPort Utility updates later, I can't.

  • Able to clone MAC address on Airport Express?

    Am I able to clone my MAC address to the airport express router? I connect to wireless and wired networks but my apartment who provides the internet required my MAC address to activate my macbook on the network, so if I can clone my macbook MAC address to the airport express unit then it would work, any advice?

    Thank you, I was able to locate the MAC addresses and I will supply my apartment with them. It's just kind of a hassle, I have to fill out another form and wait probably a week for them to add it. With XBOX 360, you can clone your computers MAC address and get access to internet immediately. Thanks for the help...

  • Is there any app or something, that can do that, you can stream any sound coming out of your mac to your airport express?

    Yes, he would have to have jailbroken your phone to install malware. If you see an app called "Cydia", that would indicate conclusively that it was jailbroken. I would recommend restoring the phone as new using iTunes. It is your best shot at removing a jailbreak.
    You should also change your network password, your email password and your FB password as well as passwords to anything else you've used from the phone. Put a lock code on the phone.
    Your best defense against this sort of thing is to NOT give your phone to people you don't trust.
    This is a user-to-user forum, by the way. Apple employees don't participate here. If you want to talk to someone from Apple, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.

  • Can't add new MAC address to MAC ACL on Airport Express

    Hi,
    I just recently got a new iPhone 3GS. When I logged into my Airport Express to add it's MAC address to the ACL I found that the + icon was greyed out. I can modify old MAC addresses in the list and delete addresses, but I can't add new ones. Anyone have any idea why this might be the case. It seems like I can modify all other settings without any problems. I restarted the basestation, no help. I also even reset the password just incase, as you might expect that didn't help either. Any thoughts? Thanks.
    Setup:
    WDS with 2 other access points
    Mac Address Access Control set to "Local"

    If you are configuring the router as MGCP, you do not enter the mac address, just the router name.

  • Mac Mini Server Airport Express with Server Firewall Settings

    I posted this in the Server forum, but I've had no responses so far - so I'll try it here instead! Any help is appreciated...
    I've got a new Mac Mini Server (mid 2010) with Snow Leopard Server v10.6 that I intend to use as a file server in the long term, and as my main computer replacing my old PC in the short term.
    One of it's uses will be my iTunes server for my Airtunes network with two airport expresses.
    When I disable the server firewall iTunes can connect to the airports with the check box in the 'multiple speakers' menu in iTunes. If I enable the firewall with the default settings of 'allow these ports' I cannot. I have used the Apple document on well known TCP and UDP ports to open for Apple software packages with particular attention to streaming audio / iTunes etc. Still doesn't allow the speakers to be selected in the 'multiple speakers' check box.
    I also tried the 'allow all traffic' option for the firewall, again no connection to the remote speakers happened. If I turn off the firewall it all works fine. It seems that there are some ports that need to be open in order to establish the connection - I just don't know what they are.
    Does anyone know of the appropriate ports to open? I tried searching the forums and I did try some of the suggestions for port 5000, 6000, 6001 etc but it doesn't make any difference!
    Thanks in advance...

    I found this works too. Though I came about this a slightly different way.
    I moved over to Airfoil as Airtunes didn't work without the firewall and Airfoil did. I then had problems with Airfoil not reconnecting to the remote speakers when you cycled the power on them, I don't want all of my remote speakers powered all of the time. They were set to automatically connect, yet they refused connection a couple of times before connecting, which meant logging into the mini and reconnecting manually, which wasn't what I wanted to do. During an email conversation with Rogue Amoeba I sent them a debug logfile - they pin-pointed it as a connection denial with IPv6 addressing.
    Once I had that info, I disabled IPv6 for my network adaptors and Airfoil worked and reconnected fine even when airport expresses are power cycled. I then tried Airtunes again and now the speakers can be connected. It's down to the first choice for connections is IPv6, if this is not available it's IPv4.
    It's definitely a bug with the IP6FW control and link-local traffic.
    Hope this helps.

  • I need to change the MAC Address for Airport on MacBook

    I have a specific need to change my son's Airport MAC address as his school requires the use of USB network cards that aren't compatible with MACs. These cards are needed because the school's router uses MAC address filtering.
    Before we upgraded his Mac to Snow Leopard, we were able to change the MAC address to the MAC address of the useless dongal the school supplied. We basically created an AppleScript program that ran the "sudo ifconfig en1 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" and all was good.
    This command no longer works for changing the MAC address. We tried it as root user as well and by typing it into the terminal window as root. After running the command, we can run "ifconfig en1" and it does display the new mac address but when we turn the airport on and try to connect, it just hangs and won't connect.
    Our other non-Snow Leopard still works fine after running the commands so I'm guessing Apple disabled this functionality. It's hardly a security issue by being able to change your mac addres.
    Is there a new way to accomplish this? I've searched everywhere.
    Thanks!

    Would an easier solution be to provide the school's IT admin with your mac address and have it added? If they can add a block of mac addresses for the usb dongles, they can add more for machines that cannot use the dongle.
    Also: "It's hardly a security issue by being able to change your mac address."
    While it may not be a security issue for your machine, it is a security for the school network who is using mac address filtering as hopefully only one part of their wireless security.
    That being said, have you read this?

  • HT1515 Just installed Airport Express on Mac 10.6.8  Can't see base station.  Hard Reset the Airport.  Rebooted machine.  How can I tell if this is a Mac problem or Airport Express Problem?

    I have a Mac 10.6.8.  Just installed Airport Express.  I can't see any base stations.  I did a hard reset on the Airport Express, turned off all devices,  turned them back on.   I see plenty of Airport networks in the neighborhood.  How can I tell if I have a Mac problem or an Airport Express problem?  Airport Express blinks Amber. 

    Obviously,  I'm still using ethernet to be able to reply to this.
    Alright, use the same ethernet cable to plug directly into the airport express. This will FORCE the airport utility to now see it regardless of weak signals & interference. You can set it up that way.
    BTW, what is the original intent on the express?

  • How do I get a valid IP address for airport express?

    I am trying to set up my airport express.  All the steps work fine except for when I get to the end it says I need a valid IP address for airport.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm not sure what you're trying to set up here? Are you trying to set up the AX to provide wireless access to the internet, or to extend an existing network?????

  • Mac not reading Airport express.

    Hello..
    I just bought the airport express and I connected the ethernet cable from my cable modem to the port. At this point the Airport light was green and the lights on my modem were flashing as if it was working.
    Thinking this was a great start I went to the Aiport Setup Assistant and chose to set up a new airport base station. An error comes up telling me "no new airport networks were found". I can't get the internet to work, and I've tried with my mac and my girlfriends pc.
    Two things:
    1. What can the issue be?
    2. Why are the modem lights flashing as if there is a connection to something.
    Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Make sure that you have Airport turned on in the
    Airport menu in the menu bar. If it is turned on,
    make sure that the Express is in an unconfigured
    state. To do so, press and hold the reset button
    until the LED flashes rapidly. Then try running the
    Airport Setup Assistant again.
    Yes it says that its on, but yet I am getting no bars on my mac.
    Do I need to configure anything on my mac so the Airport signal is read. It seems like my system just isnt reading the port. AHH..Sorry..not super computer savvy, yet really want to get this working. Thanks so much.

  • Change MAC Address On AirPort Extreme

    I'm using the latest Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11n (Apple Part Number MB763AM/A and Model A1301 as noted on the box). I am currently using Firmware 7.5.1. I haven't yet updated to the latest AirPort Base Station Firmware 7.5.2.
    Is there a way to change the MAC Address on this device? The reason I ask is because I use cable Internet and releasing and renewing the IP Address on cable never works. You're basically stuck with the same IP address for months on end unless you leave your connection off for at least 72 hours or more (DSL out here works differently - you get a new IP Address immediately after releasing and renewing).
    I don't like using the term "spoofing" as it sounds as if you're trying to do something devious (which I'm not) but I just don't like having the same IP Address for months on end since I don't think it's wise for security reasons.
    I'd be interested in knowing if there is a way to change the MAC Address of my AirPort Extreme, perhaps using a third-party utility of some sort, perhaps through the Terminal or maybe the new firmware update allows you to finally do this?

    If you are referring to the MAC address of the AirtPort Extreme, it is not possible to change this.
    You're basically stuck with the same IP address for months on end unless you leave your connection off for at least 72 hours or more (DSL out here works differently - you get a new IP Address immediately after releasing and renewing).
    The IP address you are referring to here is assigned by your service provider. The AirPort Extreme has no control over this.

  • Mac software on Airport Express CD?

    I've lost my Airport Express CD. What software is included on that CD, and can it be downloaded from the Apple site?
    Thanks.

    Yes, I have the software on my machine. But I'm selling my AirPort Express and want to know what software the other person needs to run it. Is there a disk image available for the CD that came with the device? I've looked around on the Apple site, but can't find it.
    Thanks.

  • Is it easy to block a mac address on airport extreme?

    I have plans of changing my router to an apple airport extreme. Is it easy to block a mac address on apple's airport extreme?

    So you can just control the time that they're connected.
    You can set up daily time limits to allow a specific device to connect at the times that you specify. It is possible to set up different "rules" for each individual device......so your Mac could connect anytime, but other devices connect only at the times that you specify.
    It is also possible to set up a rule to not allow a device to connect at all at any time. That would be called the "No Access" rule.
    In order for the PS4 to connect automatically, a router needs to have UPnP service. The AirPorts do not have this. If you want to connect the PS4 to the AirPort, you will need to plan to set up the port mapping manually.

  • G4 mac compatability with Airport Express?

    I'm still a bit of a ******* when it comes to my AX (and thanks to the 2 people who answered my other question regarding it)
    In this case, I have a software dillemma - my Powerbook G4 says that it is not sufficiently updated to connect to my AX. The Airport Assitant Utility helps with "Graphite and Snow", but not my AX.
    Where can I update the Assistant for my Powerbook G4 laptop, or is that even possible? - so that it will (hopefully) work with my AX?

    Duane,
    I have a similar problem and am wondering how my situation works with your statement of 2wire not working with AX.
    Posted: Jul 2, 2007 10:01 AM in response to: bleedingrose19
    The AX can not be used to wirelessly extend the wireless network of a 2Wire portal. The 2Wire is not compatible with Apple's WDS.
    My original set up worked great with the AX. DSL modem (NON-wireless), to router, to Airport Base (original type) to AX. The old modem and router started dropping everything so I upgraded to a 2wire wireless modem through my DSL provided.
    I have my 2wire working and my Airport working but can't get the AX to work.
    I've reset the AX time and time again so that it doesn't remember a thing. I want to use the AX as a booster to another part of the house so I can work on my laptop there and my husband can use it with an ethernet wire to his PC like we use to be able to do.
    Here is how I have it set up now on a WEP password.
    Plugged into this router is:
    733 MHz PowerPC G4 running OSX 10.3.9
    Airport Extreme (1st edition)
    HP 6MP laser printer that connects to a Asante box (needs appletalk)
    Airport Extreme has a USB Printer attached to it
    Airport Express that is a booster and is also used by a non-wireless PC laptop for internet access using a blue cable
    PowerBook and an iBook using the wireless set up. Both running OSX 10.3.9

  • "no valid IP address" error airport express as bridge with Dlink router

    Hi there
    I've read through many many posts and am unable to find the answer to my issue. I am trying to use my DLink DR 615 router as my main wireless router and then connect my airport express (brand new - n connection) wirelessly as a bridge. I would then connect my WD Live box to the ethernet port and connect the stereo connection to my receiver for itunes. at least, that's the theory.
    Right now, I can't even connect. when I go through the manual process, I selected "connect through wireless network" and left the "configure IPv4" as "using DHCP".
    problem is that it comes up as my wireless device does not have a valid IP address. Can someone help me step through how to make this work?
    thanks so much!

    Suggest that you start over by holding in the reset button until the amber light blinks quickly. Hold another second or two and release.
    Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express (AX) to help with the configuration. You can disconnect the cable when you have the AX configured.
    Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Set Wireless Mode to "Join a wireless network"
    (If you don't see this choice, hold down the option key on your computer as you click the selection box)
    Wireless Network Name...the name of the wireless network created by your DLink should appear as a choice. Click to select.
    Put a check mark in the box to Allow Ethernet Clients
    Wireless Security...must exactly match the security settings of your DLink network
    Wireless Password...must exactly match the settings of your DLinkk network
    Click Update and AX will restart in 15-20 seconds.
    You can move the AX to the desired location and hook up the ethernet cable. If your DLink is compatible with the ProxySTA function, you will connect.

  • Connect Power Mac directly to Airport Express

    Here is my situation:
    I have a PC hooked up through ethernet to a wireless router/modem (came with verizon subscription) in my living room. I also have a Powerbook G4 that I connect to the internet wirelessly. Everything works great. I just picked up a Powermac G5 Quad the other day that I use in my loft and it didn't come with the airport card. My question is, can I plug the Airport Express into the wall and plug my Powermac directly in to the ethernet port, taping in to the wireless signal of the modem/router. Unfortunately I don't have any phone outlets in my loft.
    Powerbook G4, Powermac G5 Quad   Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    My question is, can I plug the Airport Express into the wall and plug my Powermac directly in to the ethernet port, taping in to the wireless signal of the modem/router.
    The only way for the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet port to be active is if the AX is set up to be a relay/remote base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Unfortunately, only a very few non-AirPort base stations will work with the AirPorts for WDS. (ref: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php?title=WDSLinked_routernetwork)
