Multiple devices no longer work with Airport Extreme

I can’t get multiple devices to work with my Airport Extreme any longer. Normally, I have 4 wireless devices with my Airport Extreme: MacBook Pro, iPhone 5, Sony Wireless Blu-Ray Player, and Windows Laptop. On a daily basis, I use the MacBook Pro and iPhone 5 at the same time on the network. I have even had all 4 devices on the network without a problem.
Problem: Since last night, I cannot use any of the devices on the network at the same time. Every time I try to use two devices, I am asked to login into to my ISP and the device currently on the network is booted off.
Additional info: I live in an apartment complex and use the complex’s ISP. Unusually, since yesterday another device (my guess is a neighbor’s Airport Express) has been showing up in my AirPort Utility. I cannot access that device because it is password protected.
Attempted Solutions: I have tried a soft reboot, hard reboot, and factory reboot of the Airport Extreme, but still have the same problem. I have also cycled the modem on a repeated basis.
The ISP does not think it is their problem as I can still connect to them through either directly plugging into the modem/outlet or through the AirPort Extreme. The ISP has great customer service and are usually very helpful, so I don’t think they are trying to blow me off.
Perhaps, my AirPort Extreme’s settings are off.
If anyone can provide me with a possible solution, it would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried a soft reboot, hard reboot, and factory reboot of the Airport Extreme
A factory reset on the AirPort Extreme would have configured the AirPort Extreme to act as a router, providing normal DHCP and NAT services for your network.
But, the symptoms that you describe indicate that the AirPort Extreme's Router Mode settings may be configured for "Off (Bridge Mode)".....a setting in which another router at the apartment complex would be responsible for allowing multiple devices on your network to connect.
Using your MacBook Pro, we need to check the Router Mode setting on your AirPort Extreme as follows:
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Please check the current setting for Router Mode and report on what that setting might be.......either DHCP and NAT......or "Off (Bridge Mode)".

Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme?

Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme? Such as an HP Photosmart D110.

Yes, it will as long as it is within wifi signal range of the Extreme. Of course, you'll need to go through the printer setup sequence. NOTE: The D110 is not AIRPRINT compatible, so it will not print from ios operating systems that are installed in mobile devices such as iphones, ipads, ipods. However, there are Apps that are available for non airprint printers, but their quality and effectiveness are questionable.

Will a WD hard drive work with AirPort Extreme to connect with an iPad Air

Will a WD hard drive work with Airport Extreme to connect by a iPad Air

If you already have an AE and a WD drive .. the best idea is plug it in and see on a mac in airport utility is the drive recognised.
If not you have problems.. if it is formatted correctly (Not NTFS mainly) then it can be a drive that is not compatible.
assuming it works get your ipad and pay for filebrowser or at least download a test copy and see how it goes.
Always the best way to find out.. try it.

Any current inkjet printers work with Airport Extreme 802.11g Basestation?

Does anyone know if there are any printers out there currently being sold that actually work with Airport Extreme (802.11g)? Not the latest 802.11n basestation, but the UFO-shaped Extreme g basestation? I recently tried the HP DeskJet D4160 and it does not work at all with it, although my deprecated HP 940c works just fine. I need to replace the 940C, and I don't want to have to buy and return 20 different printers in order to find one that actually works... Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

The AirPort Extreme does allow AirPlay to "pass-through" but it does NOT support receiving AirPlay streams to be played back through powered speakers or an audio receiver as it does not have any built-in audio circuitry like the AirPort Express models.

Will sony s-air sw10ti work with airport extreme?

Hi There,
I have the Sony S-Air SW10 Ti which has a great sound but the Aerial on it for DAB Radio is rubbish, it does have a docking station which also sounds good but no other connection parts. Would this perhaps work with " Airport or Aiport Express/Extreme" ?

Thanks - I am glad that you explained your situation a liitle more - although there is no direct way to connect to the wi-fi of the Sony - the Airport Express (not the Extreme) has an audio out jack that can be connected to any system - this would be an indirect way of using wi-fi with your Sony - see this link - http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ - you could also incorporate Apple TV into your setup - see this link - http://www.apple.com/appletv/ - but as you can see, both of these choices involve AirPlay and Itunes which may limit your options - and because they are beyond the scope of this discussion group, I would suggest that you re-word your questions and ask them in the appropriate disccusion group in this forum - I hope that this clarifies things somewhat.

How do i set up time capsule to work with airport extreme base to extend wireless network?

i have a airport extreme base, how do i set up a time machine to extend the wireless network i have with airport extreme? i have also 3 airport express's connected to the same network to extend my wifi all over my house. thanks in advance.

Much better graphics, thanks.
You can leave the Time Capsule connected by Ethernet from the Linksys and configure for a "roaming" network as mentioned previously.
To do this, open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as the AirPort Extreme
No check mark needed next to Allow this network to be extended
Radio Mode = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon, then the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and allow the Time Capsue to restart
Then power down the entire network
Wait a minute or two
Start the modem first and let it run a full minute
Start the AirPort Extreme the same way
Power up the switch
Power up the Time Capsule for a minute
Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart
Now, your computer will automatically pick up a wireless signal from either the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, whichever device is closer and providing the stronger signal.

Which epson wireless printer will work with airport extreme (can not find out from epson)

three systems in use Win 7, Mac lion and vista. Former epson printer WF 600 would not link with my new airport extreme router despite multiple attempts through epson. Does anyone know of a wireless printer that will work? Thanks.

I had the same problem. It was fixed by running the silly app downloadable from their support page: http://support.lexmark.com/perl/support/support.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:0:0:0
Here's another way, through CUPS:
1) http://127.0.0.1:631/
2) Administration tab
3) Add Printer
4) Give Name, Location, and Description (pretty inconsequential)
5) Select device: Internet Printing Protocol (http)
6) Device URL: lexnet3://192.168.5.110:1 (the parts in bold must be there, the ip add is probably different)
7) Make: Lexmark
8) Model: 3600-4600 series (if this isn't there, you need to get the driver from Lexmark)
That should do it.
The printer will be in your system preferences.
The port number and the "lexnet3://" is the interesting part. Without them, I don't think you'll be able to get it working.
Good luck

Airport card does not work with Airport Extreme when security is turned on

I have an iMac running OSX 10.4.11 with an Airport card installed (firmware version 9.52).
I recently replaced my Netgear wireless router with an Apple Extreme Base station and now I am not able to connect my iMac to the wireless network when WEP security is turned on - I get an error from the Airport Setup Assistant when I attempt to connect to the wireless network.
It works fine if the wireless security on the Extreme Base station is turned off.
Please help and thanks in advance.

First, I highly recommend that you switch to either WPA or WPA2 as WEP is no longer considered secure. If you must use WEP, I suggest that you try the following:
o Re-create the Network Name (SSID) on your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS)
o Try using 128-bit WEP, with a 26-Hex character key for the encryption type.

What is the best way to make 3g/4g simcard work with airport extreme

I live in Mumbai, India and I am tired of the state of broadband connection over here. I have vodafone 3G Data only SIM with me which I use via a 3G dongle that plugs into my mac. It has a decent speed and I would like to use it as a primary internet connection across the 3 iPhones, 2 iPads, a Mac and 2 apple tvs at my home.
I have a 2014 airport extreme and i want to know what hardware do i need to make the 3g sim work with it? like put the sim in the hardware/adapter and then plug it into the wan port of the airport extreme and let the AE handle my dhcp so that i can access 3g internet from all my devices?
also, i was something 4g compatible as 4g is on the roll in India. it doesn't have to be a wireless router on its own but something that can dial the connection and provide internet access to the AE via the wan port.
thanks.

The only reason I mention it would be configure your network for a roaming instead of extended setup. The number one advantage over an extended is bandwidth performance ... aka speed.
For example, I have a Cisco RVS4000 wired router as my main Internet router. I am fortunate that my 2-story home came pre-wired for Ethernet. I have placed an AirPort Extreme and a Time Capsule, connected by Ethernet back to the Cisco; one on each floor to provide a seamless wireless network for an assortment of wired/wireless clients. With this setup, I am able to stream HD TV content throughout the house. Mine is an example of what you can do with a roaming network.

Can multiple devices access drives connected to Airport extreme at the same time?

i have a few days to decide before someone gets me either an airport extreme or a decent NAS adapater to using with my existing airport express, from the US. my airport express serves me good for all my networking needs but i have decided to take my portable media wireless.
i wanna know which will be the best option? to plug in the portable hdds to an a.extreme via a usb hub and share it across devices or to do the same with a nas adapter using my existing current generation a.express?
i got ios, android, mac and windows devices on my network. and an apple tv.
please share ur thoughts.
Neerav

Express is slow ethernet.. 10/100 only. The max speed of any connection to a USB hard disk is limited severely by the 100mbit..
USB is always slow btw.. This is actually a poor way to share a drive. A cheap NAS.. ie ethernet to Sata directly is far far superior and a single disk NAS can be had cheaply.. you will never get close with USB in network situations.
If you use a hub though, you can plug multiple disks into an Extreme.. I guess the network speed is at least no worse than the USB hub -- ethernet devices which are lousy as a whole.
Never forget you have the fastest ethernet adapters and fastest possible connectors already on computers on the network.. people are so utterly mesmerized by NAS they forget.. a FW800 or better USB3 if you have a newer computer shared to the network from a computer has much higher throughput and is much cheaper than even the very low end network stand alone boxes.

Can't get my Wireless-G (on a Windows XP) to work with Airport Extreme

I have four Macs in my house. All of them work flawlessly with my airport extreme basestation. My mom just moved in a brought her Pentium 4 Windows XP desktop. I plugged in a Link Sys Wireless-G adapter and it picks up lots of wireless networks in my neighborhood but it will not pick up my airport extreme. Any suggestions?

Same issues here with an iMac, an XP laptop, an XP desktop and an Xbo via a Belkin game router.
Things I have tried:
No security.
WEP
WPA - all variants
Every channel number available
All the combinations of the above (yes, really - that was a fun Saturday afternoon I can tell you).
Firmware updates for AEBS and the wireless devices.
It's clearly a wireless problem since all devices work when connected via Ethernet.
I'm starting to believe that the AEBS just does not like certain brands (or maybe even specific models), something which I can't prove since I'm not about to go and replace ALL my other wireless devices to make Apple happy. Like a previous poster, I am using Belkin or Linksys gear.
Right now I've gone back to a Netgear router which works flawlessly with Windows and Mac; AEBS will be going back to the Apple store soon unless I can happen on a working solution.

PC Internet Not Working with Airport Extreme

Hey guys, just got a new Airport Extreme to replace my old one. Me and my brother's MacBook's both work in terms of the internet, but my dad's PC's internet will not work. It is connected to the Airport, but has no internet access. Any ideas? Thanks.

Apple's support section (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306256) says "How to enable Cisco VPN connections
You should use Cisco's VPN client software to establish a Cisco VPN connection via an AirPort Extreme base station. Note: In the Cisco VPN client preferences, make sure the "NAT-T" option is enabled.
Note: Some corporate firewall configurations may cause issues with the Cisco VPN software.
Please contact AppleCare support if you are unable to contact a Cisco VPN server via Cisco VPN client software and an AirPort Extreme base station.
I'm experiencing the same thing. DellLatitude D610. Netgear rangemax wireless PC card (WPN511). I can connect to the internet but I try to vpn into work I get half way through the connection process and get an error which states" Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client. Reason 412: The remote peer is no longer responding. I've spent 2 hours trying different settings. I really want to stick w/the apple product but will have to return it if I can't get it to work. I need cisco vpn via wintel for work.

Will Stardom's "Safe Capsule" work with Airport Extreme?

I'm confused by the descriptions of this device. First of all there seem to be two different devices with more or less the same description one is just "Safe Capsule Made for Apple Time Capsule" which seems to indicate that it has the capacity for 2TB of memory, and "Safe Capsule with 2TB Made for Apple Time Capsule". It isn't clear why the second one is $369 while the first is only $79, but I assume that the first is probably "sans drive"? Since they don't say that specifically, it sounds a bit like a scam.
Second, is this devise usable if connected to Airport Extreme, or only if I already have a Time Capsule from Apple? Anyway, I order it and then immediately had second thoughts so called and canceled the order. But it's not clear to me what this device actually does, and the descriptions seem misleading. Here's a link to the description of the first device: http://tinyurl.com/34k5tf8
And here's the link to the second: http://tinyurl.com/3aeneh3
Pretty confusing.

The wording is a little vague, but I agree with your impression.

It should work fine with either one. You should be aware that Apple doesn't officially support use of a USB drive connected to an Apple Wi-Fi base station as a Time Machine drive, although many people have been reasonably successful with that.

All-in-one printer that works with Airport Extreme (n)

Hi all,
I have recently bought an Intel MacBook and an Airport Extreme 'n'.
Now I am looking for a compatible all-in-one (multifunction) printer. I have been searching on the net all day till my eyes are sore.
I don't need to use it too often so am looking for a a cheapie under $120. I mainly need it for printing black and white, photocopying and scanning the occasional document.
Is anyone using one with decent quality or can recommend one?
I know about ifelix's list but am looking for a recommendation as well as one that is compatible...
thanks you...

I have looked around here, and just can't figure this
out, please someone help. I just purchased a 3180 hd
with my macbook. Was printing wirelessly fine with
my previous hd and new extreme. Now this one isn't
working and hp said that it is not a supported
wireless printer. Why on earth would apple sell this
printer then.
Could someone please tell me how to make this printer
work over my new airport extreme base. PLEASE
This is the problem with the new airport extreme(n). All the printers work when connected directly to your computer, it is when they are connected to the base station that there seems to be compatibility problems. I have ruled out buying the C3180 for this reason.
Someone may be able to help you. If not you will either have to connect it directly to your mackbook to use it or return it and buy one that is compatible.
