Using airport extreme base station modem to fax

Can I use an Airport Extreme Base Station with a modem to send faxes?
powerbook G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

kersto, Welcome to the discussion area!
No. The built-in 56k modem is only for connecting to a dial-up ISP. There is no ability to send FAXes.

  • Using Airport Extreme Base Station with Cable Modem

    Hi everyone,
    I have just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station. I connected it to my cable modem (Surfboard 3100) through the WAN port and my iMac G4 is connected to it through the Ethernet port. Installed the Airport Utility, and configured the base station with the normal settings of DHCP for Internet and DHCP for internal network.
    After restarting the base station, my Internet connection from the iMac through the base station is very slow and most of the time will time-out. My Internet connection through my PowerBook G4 using wireless through the base station is ok though.
    My question is, is there some setting which I should set for the Ethernet portion of the base station to make my wired connections to the Internet work?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    regards,

    Hi,
    My iMac G4 does not have an Airport card. I did not physically restarted the base station, its part of the sequence when we update the configuration, that the base station will restart on its own.

  • Using Airport Extreme Base Station As A Wireless Card?

    Hi,
    I don't know if this is even possible but here's what I'd like to do:
    I've started to share an internet connection with a cousin of mine that lives in my apartment building. The connection is in her apartment and as far as I can tell the wireless signal is coming from the modem she has, there is no stand alone router/ base station. So far I've just been connecting using my iBook with the aiport card in it. No problems. I just had to get the ip number and password from her and I was hooked right up.
    Here's my real question:
    I also have a G4 Mini with no wireless card in it at all and an Airport Extreme base station from before we started sharing a connection. In the time that we've been sharing I haven't connected to the internet at all using the Mini. Now I'm wondering if there is a way I can hook the Airport Extreme to the Mini and somehow use it as a replacement for a wireless card in the Mini. Thus using the Mini connected to the Airport to connect just the Mini to the internet.
    I'm not worried about the iBook and do not wish to reconfigure the way I'm using/ connecting with it. Everything is peachy with that.
    If this is possible, how can I do it?
    Thank you in advance for any help with this.

    Set up the AEBSn as a "bridge" and connect the G4 Mini to one of the "wired" internet connections.

  • Certain web address not available when using Airport Extreme Base Station

    Hello. To access my "secure" account at the local library, I must use a web address that contains a colon followed by a number. I believe that this is a port number, but I confess that all the discussions here regarding ports are going well over my head, and I may be incorrect with this assumption.
    My problem is that while I CAN access this site by connecting to my DSL router directly via ethernet cable from my iMac G5, I cannot access the site when connecting to the internet in the mode: iMac Airport to Airport Extreme Base Station to DSL router via ethernet.
    The format of the web address is: http://xxxx.yyyy.net:####/zzzzz/, where #### is the number I guess may be specifying a port and causing my problem.
    Can anyone advise me, in simple terms, how to get to this address when in the Airport--internet connection mode? Will the solution have any adverse side effects?
    Regards and Thanks

    Very likely the embedded firewall that comes with your AirPort blocks the port you are trying to use.
    In order to solve this, best way is to modify the AirPort settings (open the AirPort maintenance app):
    Click at the tab "port forwarding" and add the desired port as "public port" to the list. "private IP" is the IP of your Mac and for "private port" type in the port number again.
    If you are unsure about the IP of your Mac, look at the network maintenance application.
    Well, one side-effect is that you have an open port in your configuration which could cause security issues... but only if you are paranoid So there is nothing to care about (note that without the AirPort inbetween your Mac and your modem, this port would be not blocked and freely accessible

  • Using AirPort Extreme Base Station to Connect a Hard Drive

    I have a wireless network set up using a wireless device provided by my network provider. What I would like to do is to use my Airport Extreme Base station only to connect a hard drive to it. However when doing so, Airport Utility does not recognize or see the Extreme. The Extreme can only been seen if connected to the router provided by my network provider. How can I set up a wireless hard drive or printer with the Extreme without connecting to the network?

    Samir, why you wanna use service provider wireless instrument when you have world class wireless device
    you don't need 2 wireless ???
    I am not expert but I used common sense, I had linksys N series router but recently I bought TC 1TB
    so what I dumped my N router in store and went ahead with TC installation, Trust me it took me 10 minutes to configure my 4 HDD 5 computer printer etc with TC
    I am sure you have a ethernet modem too separate from your wireless instrument
    try to do a clean installation ( thats where all these people who has problem, trying to connect to their existing network
    try setting up your AEBS as fresh wireless device connect to your modem and run Airport Utility
    I am sure you will be a happy apple customer
    good luck

  • Printing wirelessly using airport extreme base station

    I recently set up a wireless network at my house using an airport extreme base station. I plugged my usb printer into the base station and, according to the manual, I can print wirelessly. However, when I go to print, after following the manual instructions, it just times out. Any ideas?

  • Using Airport Extreme base station as wireless Cable router and airtunes.

    Can I replace my wired Roadrunner cable modem with a Apple Airport Extreme wireless 56g router removing the wired modem out of the picture?
    I just have read and have not come to the complete conclusion that the Airport extreme base station is a standalone wireless router.
    I would like this if it is a wireless standalone router as I want to but a pair of wireless airtunes router for music around the house keeping the Airport Extreme in my room where the airtunes routers would not be as I have the computer in my room and I have iTunes right there and would not need the airtunes routers in my computer room.

    Can I replace my wired Roadrunner cable modem with a Apple Airport Extreme wireless 56g router removing the wired modem out of the picture?
    The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) does NOT have a built-in DSL/Cable modem. You will still require a Cable modem in order to access your ISP's Internet service.
    I just have read and have not come to the complete conclusion that the Airport extreme base station is a standalone wireless router.
    The AEBS IS a wireless router, but it is NOT a combination wireless router & cable modem.

  • Using AirPort Extreme Base Station as a network AP

    I have a Netgear N900 wireless router and and an Airport Extreme Base Station.I used my N900 to create a high speed wirelss network. I would like to use my Extreme Base Station as an access point on this network, in order to get AirPlay and some extra ethernet ports in another part of the house. Is this possible to do, and if so how?
    The "extend your current network" option from the Wireless Mode menu does not work. There is no "join your current network" option, like on the Airport Express. What am I missing?
    Thank you in advance,
    Alex

    The Extreme *does not* let you joint an existing network
    Yes it does. Please open up AirPort Utility 5.6, select the Extreme and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the Wireless Mode selection box.
    What happens?  Now you see the "Join" selection.
    Problem is, only the USB port is enabled if you configure the Extreme to "join".......as I already stated. The Ethernet ports are not enabled.
    The AirPort Express 802.11n has a special feature that allows it to "join a wireless network" and the Ethernet port can be enabled.
    The AirPort Extreme does not have this feature.....which might be the reason why Apple hides the "Join" setting for the Extreme.

  • How do I get a VPN acct accessed using Airport Extreme Base station?

    I have PC running Windows 2000. For my job, I access a hospital VPN at home. In my home, I am able to set up the Extreme Base Station for wireless conductivity with computers in my home and all have access internet wirelessly. No problem.
    The problem is that I cant get it all to work together. How do I configure the base station to recognize/allow the VPN client to enter my network?
    I currently have WEP 128 on. The computer used for VPN is hardwired to the base station. Even with security turn-off, I cant access the VPN via base station set up as it is.
    help!
    PC   Windows 2000  

    I recently got my roommate's Lenovo t43p with VPN to finally work with my Airport Extreme.
    1. Open the Airport Utility
    2. Double click on your Airport Express on the left side to open up the panel.
    3. Click on the "Internet" tab and then select the "DHCP" tab.
    4. Click the "+" sign under "DHCP Reservations"
    5. Create a name for the profile like "XP Work Laptop" or whatever, and then click Continue
    6. You'll need to get your Windows laptop's MAC address which is sometimes under your laptop on a sticker, or you'll have to dig through XP's ridiculous Control Panel to find it.
    7. Enter your laptop's MAC address in the field.
    8. Lastly, in the 'IPv4 Address" field designate an IP address for your XP laptop that is within your router's range, if you're not sure of the range, the "IPv4 Address" range should be auto-populated with an IP address and you can just try it with that, or if it doesn't work you can change the last number to something higher but no more than like 4-5 digits more.
    Hope this helps, Good luck!!

  • Can't create a working Wireless Network using Airport Extreme Base Station

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
    I've got the cable from the modem going to the base station. I follow ALL on screen instructions. I select "Using DHCP" because when I plug the ethernet cable into my MBP it automatically does everything for me, and has that as its setting as well.
    I get to the stage where it asks whether or not I'd like it to share an IP or go into bridge mode, I'm not sure what either of these two mean...I've tried both and both result in no wireless internet.
    On several occasions I get to the end, and after I do the "final" update is comes back with one problem - internet connection, saying the router doesn't have a valid IP.
    I'm totally lost on what to do here...
    If you need more information just ask...please...

    The below procedure is described in your AirPort setup manual, but it can be a little confusing. Here is my step-by-step procedure for an AEB setup for the system you describe:
    A. Setup the 'Main' Base Station:
    1. Do a factory reset of your AEB (main), then turnoff the DSL Modem and the AEB (main).
    2. Check ethernet cable connections:
    - DSL Modem > AEB (main) WAN port;
    - AEB (main) > Mac computer running OS X 10.5.x.
    3. Power-on DSL Modem and wait for it to initialise.
    4. Power-on the AEB (main) and start your Mac computer.
    5. Open AirPort Utility and select the AEB (main) in the LH pane. Click 'Continue' and give the AEB (main) a name and an admin password (twice). Click 'Continue'.
    6. Select 'I don't have a wireless network and I want to create one', click Continue.
    7. Give your network a name, select WPA/WPA2 Personal and insert the wireless network password (twice) - use 13 alpha/numeric characters for password. Tick 'Remember this password in my keychain'. Click 'Continue'.
    8. Select 'I connect to the Internet with a DSL or cable modem using DHCP. Click 'Continue'.
    9. Click 'Update' and wait for the AEB (main) to restart.
    10. Disconnect the ethernet cable between your Mac and the AEB (main).
    B. Setup Client computer
    1. Open System Preferences/Network/AirPort.
    2. Against 'Network Name:' select your network (the name you gave it at A7).
    3. Click 'Advanced' and select TCP/IP. Against 'Configure IPv4:' select 'Using DHCP', then click 'OK'.
    4. Click 'Apply' and exit System Preferences.

  • Using Airport Extreme Base Station with a Switch

    Thanks in advance for your help, this has been driving me crazy.
    Here's the setup I'm trying to make work but without success:
    Cable modem -> AEBS -> Switch -> ethernet cables -> devices (TV / Roku / ethernet wall plates, etc.)
    Hardware:
    - Cable modem is ARRIS / Motorola SurfBoard SB6183 - pure modem I believe, no router capability
    - AEBS is latest version new in Sep 2014
    - switch is TP-Link 16 port gigabit desktop/rackmount switch model TL-SG1016D
    Wireless from the AEBS works, but I'm not able to get any signal from anything connected to the switch. I'm using the bottom ethernet port on the AEBS to connect to the modem.
    Is this 1) a configuration issue with AEBS, and since it's a router I can use it in between the modem and switch, just need to change settings on the Airport, or
    2) a setup issue, and I need to get a proper ethernet router and slot it into the setup somehow...
    3) some other issue
    Again, much appreciate your help,
    Dan

    The setup that you mention is correct.
    We assume that you have another Ethernet cable connecting from one of the LAN <--> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the switch.
    Temporarily, disconnect the Ethernet cable that is connected to the switch and instead, connect it to another device.....like a computer.....to see if you can get a good Internet connection that way. Be sure to turn off the wireless for this "test".
    If you cannot get a good connection this way, try another Ethernet cable.
    The whole idea here is to first confirm that the Ethernet LAN ports are working correctly on the AEBS.  Assuming that the you can get a connection during your "test", this confirms that the AirPort Extreme is working correctly, and you will need to add the switch back to the network and test to make sure that it is working.  Test each port with the computer.
    Please post back on your results.

  • Printing to Ethernet Printers Using Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11n

    I don't want anything extraordinary. I think what I have to set up is pretty simple.
    I have a PowerMac G5 tower and an Airport Network with an older 802.11g AExBS connected to my cable modem. I just acquired an AExBS 802.11n. While I'm sure that people would tell me to ditch the older one an just use the newer one, that is not today's task.
    All I would like to do is to use the AExBS for my 3 Ethernet printers. The printers are:
    Brother HL-2070N
    Brother MFC-420CN
    HP Color Laserjet CP2025dn
    Each printer is plugged into each of the 3 ethernet ports and not the WAN port. I didn't have any problems using my Netgear WGT624 wireless router, so I don't know why the AExBS is giving me such a headache. Is there something simply I'm missing in the instructions? Can anybody tell me if I'm missing something here?

    Now I have managed to delete all but my directly connected USB printers in the Print & Fax area of my System Preferences. What gives?
    I thought this was going to be straight forward. They don't even address hooking up ethernet printers in the manual. I've looked over the web and see other people having the same problem, but their original setup appears to be different and/or more difficult.

  • Apple TV with MacPro using Airport Extreme Base Station

    I can't get iTunes on my MacPro to show my Apple TV. I have the MacPro connected to an AE 802.11n via ethernet. I've tried all the things listed in the various forums and the ATV connects to the internet OK and the MacPro connects to the internet fine. I just can't get the two to talk to each other.

    That's the problem. I've been searching the internet on and off for weeks and there have been so many helpful things that don't help it would take too long to list them.
    iTunes prefs are set to look for ATV; my firewall allows all incoming connections and I tried specifically giving permission to iTunes without effect; and both computer and ATV list the same subnet mask when I check settings.
    I ran the ATV fine with my previous mac, but it had an airport card. The macpro doesn't, which seems to be hindering the process.

  • D I need the firewall on in my Mac when using Airport extreme base station?

    Hi all;
    Just wondering if it's necessary to turn on the firewall in my Mac when using the AEBS.
    AEBS is connected to the net and then my Mac connects to AEBS.
    There's already a firewall built-in as I understand it.
    Thanks.

    The operation of NAT and DHCP on the AEBS will prevent someone from the Internet directly accessing your Mac.
    Enabling the firewall on your Mac would add some protection against someone local wirelessly accessing your Mac.

  • Connecting our Xbox360 to our existing Apple Airport Extreme Base Station.

    We have an existing Apple Airport Extreme Base Station at home (connected to a Motorola brand Cable-DSL Modem). This wireless network works magnificently for our PowerBook and iBook... and even for the PC laptops a couple of our "friends" have brought over (and they have to work outside on the porch, since we don't let them in the house with those things).
    We broke down and purchased the Xbox360 along with the Xbox360 Wireless Adapter, but I can't get it to connect to our network wirelessly. It connected automatically though, when I used the ethernet cable from the Xbox360 to the Airport Extreme Base Station's output port.
    Our wireless network is hidden, and we'd really like to keep it that way for security reasons. Does anyone know if this is possible? Or do we have to sacrifice our network security just to be able to connect wirelessly... so we can get the latest version of that damm Bejeweled game... okay, and play games online... and get HD Movie Trailers that look amazing... I actually am excited about that part.

    Thanks for the info iFelix. And wow, speedy too. You
    must be a fast typer. (I'm just a Hunt-&-Peck kind of
    guy.)
    No not too fast I can cut and paste from my file of usual responses.
    I'm not really "that" worried about security. We just
    have a couple of those "nosey-neighbor" types living
    close by, and they both work in I.T. I sound a little
    paranoid, I know. But you'd understand if you met
    these guys.
    Use WPA and they won't be able to access your network even though they can see it.
    So I should reset the Base Station to WPA?
    Yes
    Is that
    the factory setting?
    No
    A guy I work with said I need to
    reset the Base Station to "Factory Settings" to get
    the Xbox360 to connect wirelessly. Is this true?
    Yes, but then you would have no security!!!
    And for the password, I shouln't use any real word(s)?
    Applications > Utilities > Airport Admin Utility
    Scan and Select your Airport
    On the Airport Tab
    Change Wireless Security
    Use WPA Personal
    Use a password like this:
    4fghj8eybs9nf78swnu
    Remember to write it down.
    I would also change the Wireless Network Name as well, but this is not needed.
    Click OK
    Click Update
    You will now be thrown off the wireless network.
    Wait at least five minutes.
    The from the Airport icon in the menu bar, select your network, you will be asked for your password, enter the password, check keep in Keychain (so your Mac will remember it).
    That's it.
    Don't worry about using anything else, WPA is pretty much uncrackable unless you use a dictionary word for a password such as "table".
