  • I have just purchased and installed a new Airport extreme base station but now the Airport Utility cannot see my old Airport Express. Are their compatibility issues and do I need to purchase a new Express?

    I have just purchased and installed a new Airport extreme base station but now the Airport Utility cannot see my old Airport Express. Are their compatibility issues and do I need to purchase a new Express?

    When you can, take a look at the old AirPort Express and locate the model number in the faint print on the side of the device.
    If you see A1084 or A1088, this is an older Express version that is no longer supported by the current version of AirPort Utility that you are using with the new AirPort Extreme.
    If that is the case, your Express is at least 6 years old...probably older...so it is about time to treat yourself to a new version with much faster speeds and more features.

  • Registering New Airport Extreme Base Station

    I tried registering my new Airport Extreme Base Station, but the following statement keeps coming up:
    We could not recognize the serial number you entered. Please re-enter it, making sure each letter or number is correct.
    I have double checked the serial number several times on the bottom of my Airport Extreme Base Station and I still get the same message when I enter it on Apple’s site.
    Does anyone know how to contact Apple by e-mail about this? I can find no e-mail contact information for this on their support site.
    Thanks

    I'm sorry, but I don't believe Apple provides support via email, only call-in or directly by visiting the Apple Stores or Apple-Authorized Dealers.

  • New AirPort Extreme Base Station with OS X 10.3.9?

    I have an iMac running 10.3.9 along with a XP box. Can I use the new AirPort Extreme Base Station with this setup. The sys reqs seem to say that I need OS X 10.4.8. I want to use this new wireless base station with AppleTV.
    I really don't want to upgrade to 10.4.x especially since Leopard (10.5) is supposed to be coming out soon. Of course this supposes I can even run Leopard on my non-intel iMac.

  • Purchase of new Airport Extreme Base station??

    have i wasted money on purchase of NEW Airport Extreme base station? i have fios with actiontec router and tv service.  the Guest network does not work nor does Actiontec have ability to provide guest network. I am about to return the AEBS as I dont see any reason to keep it other than the 2.4 and 5GHZ network ability.  Oh yeah, the 802.11 ac too.

    Find a way to disable DHCP on your Actiontec router, making it a modem. Call Verizon and ask them for instructions: "I have my own router, and want to disable the Actiontec's router. How do I do that?"
    Here is one such question, from Verizon's support forum: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Disable-Actiontech-DHCP/m-p/281653#M1 9622 Try that.
    The AirPort Extreme can be configured as a bridge, i.e. not performing any router function, but you will be losing most of its advantages by doing so.
    Guest Network must be created by your router.

  • PS3 can't see new Airport Extreme base station

    I replaced my old airport extreme with the latest one, but now my PS3, which is on another floor, cannot see the base station, and the new base station has a lot less range than the old one. With my old one I could sit out in the back yard with my laptop, and the PS3 picked it up right away over our wireless network, but now, nothing. My laptop connects okay, just can't go very far. Nothing has changed except the base station itself. Please help.

    Hello Uri. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    A few things I would suggest that you try to see if either or both help with the PS3's connectivity to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn):
    o If currently enabled, disable the Guest Network.
    o Use a separate Network Name for the 5 GHz radio. Make sure that the PS3 connects to the 2.4 GHz radio's wireless network.

  • AirPort, older AirPort Extreme Base Station, AirPort Express, Newer AirPort Extreme Base Station

    This may sound like a fairly dumb question, but here goes anyway:
    I have a 27" iMac with the following AirPort Extreme card:
    Card Type:    AirPort Extreme  (0x168C, 0x8F)
    Firmware Version:    Atheros 9280: 2.1.14.6
    For a Base Station, I'm currently using a pretty long-in-the-tooth M8799LL/A AirPort Extreme Base Station (with modem and antenna port)
    I recently bought an Airport Express:
    AirPort Express MB321LL/A (A1264) to
    A. Use AirTunes to send iTunes from my Man Cave on the first floor at one end of the house to the family room on the first floor at the other, where it will connect to an A/V setup, and, probably, one of my USB printers
    B. Act as a repeater for the AirPort Extreme Base Station, which is physically closer to the Man Cave than to the family room. My wife and I use our ancient-but-hangin'-in-there iBook G4s in the family room (and upstairs) to check email, eBay, etc. Both in the family room and especially upstairs, we sometimes get only 2-3 bars on the AirPort signal strength indicator in the menu bar.
    I see that I can get, from a well-known third-party retailer, an AirPort Extreme 802.11n A1143 (1st Generation), for an exceptionally reasonable price.
    My question is, what would getting the AirPort Extreme 802.11n A1143 do for me, if anything? I know it would give me one more signal source in the repeater chain, and I could probably put the Auld Nyle M8799LL/A in the stairway or upstairs to boost the signal upstairs, and I could use the USB port in the AirPort Extreme A1143 for connecting another USB printer or USB external hard drive (would this drive be available to any Mac on the AirPort network?)
    Any other configuration possibilities and suggestions greatly appreciated!
    Peace & Love
    Bart Brown

    Thank you for the prompt reply and the very helpful links. I'm going through all the support docs right now, but from your explanation and what I've seen in the support docs so far, it would appear that the maximum bandwidth is achieved by a physically-connected "Roaming Network."
    I'm so out of it, I'm afraid I'd never heard  of "Powerline adapters," but I looked them up, and I guess this is the system that uses "Romex" - style standard house wiring to carry signal, which cuts down on each individual Base Station's power overhead (does it also affect bandwidth?).
    I see a lot of names selling these adapters -- Western, D-Link, NETGEAR, ZyXEL, Monster, Sling Media, PowerNet, Cisco-Linksys, Actiontec, Medialink, Rosewill, TRENDnet -- and a lot of different configurations: 1 port, 2 ports, 4 ports. Basically I have one 27" iMac that doesn't go anywhere (it's not too portable!), a couple iBook G4s, and a point where I want to run 1/8" mini-jack-to-RCA L/R audio cable from the AirPort Express to an A/V receiver. I doubt this configuration is going to change, as I'm 63, and too lazy to lug stuff around if I don't have to. What do you think would be the best solution for me, considering I just ordered the AEBSn and I already have a brand-new AXn. Should the 27" iMac, since it ain't movin', be connected by ethernet/"Powerline adapter", rather than relying on the internal Airport Extreme card? I guess what I'm asking is, given what I want to do, how many of these Powerline adapters, what kind (do you recommend), with how many ethernet ports do I need?
    Thank you again for your prompt and informed help.

  • Ibook G-3 with old airport card can't see New Airport Extreme Base Station

    I have been trying for a week now to get my G-3 ibook set up on my Airport Extreme Network. No matter what I do, I can't sign on to the network. When I put in the password I get an error message 3151. I have no idea what this means. I have read everything, restarted base, changed network password, trashed all airport and prefs on G-3 and reinstalled. Although my network shows up in the control strip, it doesn't show in the setup assistant. Please help if you can, I'm about to go crazy! Thanks.

    Dear Duane, I did have 802.11b configured, but I had the WPA instead of WEP enabled. When I reconfigured my network, the clamshell was instantly able to join and use the network. I have many many questions about how to use the network to allow both computers to communicate, but I'll read up on it and I'm sure the answers will be there. You saved me $240.00 for the 1st hour and $160.00 for anything over that Techserve was going to charge me to come and set it up. I can't thank you enough. Everyone tells me not to waste money, but to save for a new ibook with System X, but I love my old clamshell and I'm going to get it a bigger hard drive so it can be upgraded to run OS X. It's the old 4 Gb one. I can't thank you enough for your solution! Now I can work on the laptop in my bedroom! I love Mac stuff and I knew the Extreme base station would work, regardless of what all the posters have been saying.

  • Why won't AirPort Utility find my new Airport Extreme Base Station?

    I bought a reconditioned 5th Generation Airport Extreme.  I'm running it with a MacBook Pro, running Lion OS.  I have version 6.0 (600.92) of AirPort Utility.  The firmware in the AirPort Extreme was version 7.0 and it updated to 7.1.  Then I couldn't get it to update again.  Probably have the latest version?
    When I first plugged it in, AirPort Utility found it and I was able to configure it with a WiFi private connection and a guest connection.  I had a blinking light, but it worked and I was able to use if for a day or two.  I wanted to see why the blinking status light would not go out so did some trouble shooting and did a couple of hard resets and started to understand how the various settings work and had it close to where I wanted it, with the status light on steady.  Then it stopped finding the base station and reset no longer worked.  I noticed that after working with it for a few hours that the case felt warmer than I'd like. 
    So, I suspect I have a defective AirPort Base Station.  The setup paramaters were confusing, after resetting it, it kept asking for the PPPeo name and password.  I have no idea what to enter there.   I guess the next step is to call AppleCare and arrange for a replacement.  A reconditioned one carries the same warranty as a new one.  But, now I'm skeptical and wonder if it is worth the $30 I saved (after spending hours trying to get it to work).  I may be better off returning this and getting a new one.  Any suggestions??

    I took the defective AirPort Extreme to the local Apple Store and it was replaced with a new one.  It is now working. 
    I am using it with two 1 GBit Ethernet Switches between it and the DSL Modem.  I have it configured as a Bridge. I tried DHMP and it didn't like it, may could have got it working, but it was asking for info that I didn't know how to answer.  It seemed to work in DHCP, but the Status Light kept blinking amber.  Bridge mode works, but I've lost the Guest Login. 
    Is there a was to run this in Bridge mode and still have the second login (guest)?
    Thanks for any suggestions on this.

  • Why do I get an error message that the IP address of my new Airport Extreme base station is invalid?

    I have tried several times to replace my Airport Express with Airport Extreme by following the instructions. These attempts were made with both options, Replace an Exiting Network and Create a New Network. I get to the Setup is Complete page and wait for the base station to restart. The amber light goes from solid to flashing but never turns green. After waiting several minutes I get the problem page stating that the IP address is invalid. I have powered off my computer and modem, reset the Airport Extreme and tried again witht he same result. I am now back on Airport Express to enable connection to the Internet.
    Any suggestions?

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

  • Why no DSL and  no cable respectively on new AirPort Extreme Base Station?

    Hi,
    I just saw the new APE Base Station, and I wondered about the fact, that it doesn't come with an ADSL2+- (for Europe) or cable-modem embedded, and being an full-featured router. I'd like to replace my adsl-router with the APE, but there would one more thing hang around here. Even the fact of missing 1000T isn't really good for me. Maybe next APE Base Station has some of the features?
    Regards

    Should I have set both networks with the same name, which I guess would alllow the various clients to default to whatever is the fastest?
    Is that how it works?
    Not the fastest, the best quality connection, which is a combination of signal strength, speed, low noise and who knows what else the Apple engineers have come up with for the formula.
    The default setting for the Extreme is dual band, using the same wireless network name for both bands. This is the setting that most users should use because their device(s) will automatically connect to the best signal available depending on their capability and location.
    You can "force" a connection to 5 GHz by assigning a different name to that band, but this does not assure you that you are making a better connection. It might well be worse.
    Why? The upside is that 5 Ghz is capable of faster speeds. The downside is that you always must give up something to gain something else. In the case of 5 GHz, the signals are not nearly as strong as 2.4 GHz signals, so the 5 Ghz signals are going to be absorbed much more quickly by any walls, ceilings, or other obstructions.
    To really get good perfomance on 5 GHz, you almost have to have a line-of-sight relationship between the router and the computer. So, 5 Ghz works well if you are relatively close to the router and you have a clear shot at the Extreme. Move your laptop down the hall and around the corner and chances are, the 2.4 GHz signal is stronger (and possibly faster) at that location.

  • Issue with new Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11ac

    I just purchased an AEBS (new model with 802.11ac).  I'm using it with Comcast internet service using a Motorola Surfboard SB6121.
    I have a very odd and frustrating issue.  The internet simply blips in and out.  I have it set up with WiFi and have connected devices such as my iPhone, iPad, Mac Pro, and a Chromebook to it.  I have the issue on all devices so I know it's not device specific.
    The network itself never goes away.  When I look at the WiFi area on my Mac even when the internet isn't working it shows it's connected to the WiFi network.  Also, when the internet is not working the green light is on and staying lit (not blinking) on the AEBS so it appears the WiFi Network part of it works fine.
    As mentioned it's the internet service itself that blips in and out.  What I mean by this is it may come on for 40 secs, go off for 20 secs, back on again, and off, just like that. I have not timed it and that would be hard but it seems to be very regular, something like 40 on, 20 off, and it may not even vary at all.  It's a very bizarre issue.  I have also direct connected the modem via ethernet to my Mac Pro. I used it for several problems with no problem so I know it's not the modem.
    The only thing I can think of is I received a defective AEBS.  I purchased it through Amazon and I almost contacted them to do a replacement and send this one back.  Yet I'm hoping it's something simple with the settings.  Now I have already done a factory reset of the AEBS and that did not help.  Yet I'm hoping it's simply a setting that I need to modify or wipe out.  Any idea of what's causing this or is it simply a defective base station?
    Thanks for your help.

    There is a bug with the modem where the ethernet is not syncing properly.. The bug is particularly bad with SB6121 and SB6141.. so you got it right.. welcome to the bug farm..
    https://discussions.apple.com/search?q=sb6121
    https://discussions.apple.com/search?q=sb6141
    There is no solution.. a new one could do the same. It is not 100% consistent.. I have recommended people use a small 10/100 switch between the modem and the AEBS.. or use a cross over cable. It works for some but not everyone.
    Some modems seem to work better.. but IMHO it is not your problem it is apple's.. and they are keeping quiet as they do.
    Send the AEBS back either for replacement.. and hope for a better one.. or just get a refund and buy something better.. eg Netgear R7000 or Asus RT-AC68U.

  • Brand New AIRPORT Extreme base station

    This new baby set up quickly and effortelessly, BUT, today I got a message from the good ole TIVO saying it would stop recording since it no longer had a connection to the net so I went into the settings and found the new network and hit enter and a message came up saying that WPA was not supported.
    I then ran back to the router and jumped in trying to find some way to get WEP to show up for the tivo and wpa2 for our cpus, no luck. My old linksys wrt did it fine but now the extreme can not. Can someone point me in a direction where I may find help? I have scoured the sites and I am not finding anything that is working. Or, if this can't be done at the moment that would be great too.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Sorry, I'm not following this.
    Are you saying that you need to set up WPA2 and WEP simultaneously?
    If the Tivo can only work with WEP, then you will need to choose that option in AirPort Utility and the computers will need to use WEP.
    Can you post a bit more information?

  • New Airport Extreme Base Station will only talk to one MacBook

    Thanks for any help you can give.
    I set up my new AEBS yesterday with my Core 2 Duo Macbook with the installer CD and the updater applied. It set up flawlessly, and once I deleted and reinstalled the USB printer that worked too.
    My wife's Macbook Core Duo (no 802.11n capability) will not see the AEBS via Airport. The installer CD and the updater have been applied. When I plug the MacBook into the AEBS with an ethernet cable it works fine and connects to the internet. When I unplug it and run the Airport Utility for the AEBS, it does not find the AEBS. The older Macbook will still see the neighbor's wireless network (which is how she is connected today).
    I know the AEBS is working because my Core 2 Duo Macbook is working fine. Why won't my other computer see it?
    I have restarted the Macbook several times. I have removed power from the AEBS several times. The "closed network" checkbox in the Airport Utility is not checked (that is, it is not set to closed network). I have reset the AEBS with a paper clip. I have followed the troubleshooting guides in the enclosed booklet and on the Apple Support forum. I have chosen "Other" in the Internet Connect menu and manually typed in the network name and the correct password.
    Any more ideas? I wonder if it has something to do with using the 802.11g link from the older Macbook in conjunction with the 802.11n link with the newer Macbook.

    Thanks for the ideas. The 802.11b/g compatible setting was correct and I should have written that in my original post.
    The original channel was 11. I manually changed it to 6 and, lo and behold, the older MacBook could see the network.
    Thanks for the ideas and the help.
