A look inside the HS-1200 base station

I know curiosity killed the cat but I just can't help it
So from the looks of it the HS-1200 base station runs off the Avnera AudioMagic AV7101 chip.
I have the funny feeling the HS-1200 headset runs off the same thing *I don't have the balls or the time to open it yet*
But so far I'm happy with the headset good range, "more than one wall = bad" clear audio, durable design and no delay.
My only complaint is that after prolonged ware I get some pretty bad ear-burn

The hardware disconnect/connection issue reminds me of my Logitech G5 mouse. The braided cable that is plugged into the USB port had a crimp in it and was pulling in and out of the mouse. This caused constant connection/disconnection. I ended up buying another broken mouse on EBAY and putting the two together.
The other reason for the issue may be that you have too many devices that are drawing a lot of power from the USB ports on your system. Motherboards older than two to three years became way overloaded and that caused the power issue.
Check your USB ports here to see how much each port is drawing:

HT4259 I have looked all over for an explanation of the visual language of the "flowchart in airport utility-e.g., dotted lines vs solid; why the hierarchy of base stations in a network falls as it does and occasionally moves around?

I have looked all over for an explanation of the visual language of the "flowchart in airport utility 6.0 - e.g., dotted lines vs solid; why the hierarchy of base stations in a network falls as it does and occasionally moves around? Where will I find this explanation?

by falls did you mean fail?
Solid lines = Ethernet connection.
Dotted = WiFi.

I have a MacBook ProDo I have to have the Airport Extreme Base Station for my Airport Express to work?

I cannot get the darn Airport Express to work! It just keeps blinking Amber. I know it must be something silly I am over looking. And I do not have the Airport Extreme Base Station.
Thank you for any help!!!

Thanks,
This is the rear of your modem/router:
Connect a Cat5e or Cat6 cable from any of the 4 Ethernet Lan ports to the (single) socket on the Express, then go to Airport Utility (Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility) and select create a new network.
You will need to turn the wireless transmiter in the Netgear off, here is a link to the Netgear Manual in case you need to refer to it.

HT1218 After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
Is there a way to resolve this issue?

I deleted Bonjour, since I don't need it for remote printing. Now I get the message " Airport Base Station has stopped working: and also a message saying APAgent.exe can't be found. What to do??? Thanks.

I deleted Bonjour since I don't need it for remote printing. Now on start-up I get the message: "Airport Base Station Agent has stopped working" and also message: "can't find APAgent.exe.: Do I need AP Agent?? What to do?? Thanks.

The APAgent monitors your AirPort base station and informs you if there are things like firmware updates available. This utility relies on Bonjour, but is not required for base station operation. However, Bonjour makes it easier for your PC to "find" the base station via the AirPort Utility and I would recommend that you keep it installed. If you don't want the APAgent, you can just use the Apple Updater utility (that was also installed when the AirPort Utility was installed) to remove it.

Where can I purchase a replacement CD for the Airport Express Base station A1264?

Where can I purchase a replacement CD for the Airport Express Base station A1264?
I'd like to sell my Airport Base Station, but I believe I need a CD with the software on it for the new owner. Anyone know where I can find one?
Thanks!

I doubt it is available.. and since a new Mac doesn't even have an optical drive.. there is no need whatsoever today for the cd.. it is all available in the OS or download. In fact the stuff on the cd will now be totally out of date.

Using the WAN port as a "LAN" port on the Airport Extreme Base Station...

Hi everyone,
I'm re-building my home wireless network and I'm doing so in preparation for the Slingbox AV I ordered last week. Here's my current setup:
I have a DSL modem attached to an Airport Express (802.11n) in my office broadcasting my internet signal. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11g) set up in my living room as a WDS extender. I currently use the base station in my living room to connect the DishNetwork ViP722 DVR to the internet and allow me to set recordings remotely on my iPhone when I'm away from home. I use the LAN port on the base station to do this, and now with the Slingbox on the way (should be here early next week), I'm wondering what I need to do to make an internet connection available for the Slingbox AV.
My question: Will I be able to simply use the WAN port as a "LAN" port since the Airport Extreme Base Station is being used as a WDS? It'd be awesome if the WAN port would become, essentially, a LAN port since it isn't being used.
Thanks in advance for your advice and insight!

I'd be surprised if that worked. The operation of an AirPort base station depends on keeping the WAN port and the LAN port(s) separate, as those normally are on two different networks.
You might consider buying an Ethernet hub or switch, which would allow your AirPort Extreme's LAN port to be shared. Here's an example of an inexpensive one:

Can the AirPort Extreme Base Station be plug-in to the power forever?

Hi,
sorry for my english but this is my question: Can the AirPort Extreme Base Station be plug-in to the power (electricity) forever? I mean, I don't have to un-plug the Base Station sometimes? Thanks
Alvaro

Sounds more like an issue with your router and
network than a problem with AEBS.
Which router?
I certainly do not need to reboot my AEBS like that,
I think I have rebooted it once in two years!
I would start a new thread describing your network in
more detail and the issues with the AEBS.
Thank you, but my diagnosis is the result of many days
of experiment with about hundreds of users. It's a bug,
I know were it is. It was reported to Apple in september
(2005).
It isn't that easy to upgrade at the same time all the
wireless (802.11b and 802.11g) that do have to interoperate
smoothly within the same space.
I don't think anyone need to waste more time on these
bugged firmware versions (5.6 & 5.7) as I already explained
it. They work smoothly just in a limited environment
which they were conceived for: one Mac connected to one
AEBS connected to one FAI.
You can't recommand these version to colleagues who have
to live in a real world with other wireless equipment
(a Mac not updated, an ABS not updated,
a Cisco wireless card emitting to 100 mW and smashing all
the neibourhood, a pre 802.11g+ card using 2 channels at
the same time...).

Does firmware update 7.1 break the Airport Extreme Base Station?

Do NOT install AirPort 802.11n Firmware 7.1
This Firmware 7.1 update for AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n should definitely NOT be installed.
Here was my problem:
I used AirPort Utility 5.1 to install the update. It is automatic - launch the utility and it asks if you want to install the update. I said yes because I had problems getting two AirPort n base stations networking together to extend my range (I gave up finally and just used an AirPort Express to extend the range).
After the firmware update, some sites would not load at all (www.nytimes.com) and others took forever to load. And worse, I could not send any email from any of my IMAP accounts. It seemed to be a DNS problem.
I have two 802.11n AirPorts, so I finally went back to the other one (7.0) and everything worked fine. The Apple tech support guy offered to replace my broken (7.1) AirPort.
Foolishly, I wanted to make sure the problem was actually with the 7.1 update and not the AirPort itself. So I updated my second 802.11n base station with 7.1. And it casued the exact same problem (some sites not loading, no outgoing email).
The Apple tech (at this point I was speaking with a wireless specialist) put me on hold to test a few of his AirPorts to see if he could revert back to firmware 7.0 or (ii) install a clean version of 7.1 (in case the version on my drive was corrupted).
Unfotunately neither option was possible, which is a design flaw in AirPort Utility.
Apple is sending me two new AirPorts in 1-2 days, which is great service, but I will not be installing firmware update 7.1 again. Fool me once...

AirPort Extreme Base Station

Turns out that the firmware 7.1 does not render the AEBS useless.
My problem was resolved when I turned off my DSL modem, the AEBS and the computer. Then restarted in same order going to the next one after the first is compeletly up and running. I had no problems whatsoever after that.
Seems that the firmware update makes the IPs 'stick' somehow. I would think that even a reset of AEBS might have done it but I never got to that stage.
All my computers came alive in no time.
I suggest Smith tries this. Simply reset the whole network. Ah yes, my cable modem has an internal battery, I needed to disconnect this too. Only then did the modem go into the 'acquiring' or 'distribution' mode.

Hi - you need Airport Utility version 5.6.1 for Windows 7 - go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547 to download it to your computer - the setup depends on what kind of modem you have and if you have another router connected - post back with this info to proceed - thanks

Will the AirPort Express Base Station create a wifi connection that will enable me to wirelessly connect to XBOX live on my xbox 360

Yes, but not in all cases with it provide your with an "Open NAT" condition that some on-line gaming require. However, for most Xbox LIVE access, it should work just fine.

Where is the spec for the latest Extreme Base Station?

I couldn't fin a complete spec for the latest Airport Extreme Base Station. Where is it? What size (L,W,H) is the latest base station?

Thanks. I noticed you found it under the Mac tab. . Odd - When you go to the Store and select Airport Extreme Base Station under Mac Accessories, the Extreme Base Station page doesn't have a link to the Tech Specs. When you're on the Mac tab and select the base station, it brings up a more complete page.
When I searched for the spec under Support, the newest spec I found was the March 2009 base station.
Thanks again.

Setting Up Comcast to Work with the AirPort Extreme Base Station

I just set up Comcast high-speed internet through the cable modem and ethernet connection and it works fine. What I need is a step by step instruction on how to set up the connection through my AEBS. I've tried to configure using the Admin Utility, the AirPort Set-Up Assistant, the Network panel---all with no success. I'm not sure what to enter in the boxes or what to check. I've read the "Designing AirPort Networks" PDF and it wasn't much help.
The AirPort Network was working fine with the dial-up connection I had before.

Voila! NOT!!!
I'm having the same problem trying to set up a friend's "new" Macs, and I cannot get them connected to the internet. I've also followed the same steps. I tried the resetting trick (unpluging, waiting, repluging the modem first, then the Airport Extreme Base Station.)
The DSL ISP is SBCGlobal. Their dsl modem is SpeedStream 5100. The AirportEBS is the about 4 year old white base station with the phone jack, and a WAN and a LAN ethernet ports. I'm trying to connect two iBooks and a MacMini.
Everything did fine for the past year with the modem in "regular" mode and only ONE Mac connected. When the new Macs were recently acquired, SBC techs said that the modem needed to be put into PPPoE mode so that multiple Macs could be connected at the same time. This was done. [The techs said in regular moden the modem does the authentication; in PPPoE mode the modem acts as a bridge and the AirportEBS is the router and provides the authentication. I am assuming the techs are coreect, but I don't know for sure.] The CAT5 ethernet cable from the modem goes into the WAN port on the AEBS. The computers all see the local wireless network set up by the AEBS.
However, when any of the Macs try to connect to the internet, the error message returns "No PPPoE server available." Resetting the modem and base station has not cured this. [n.b. Bypassing the AEBS completely by connecting the CAT5 cable from the modem directly to the Mac will provide internet connection.] Any other ideas? Sounds like both of us are having the same sort of problem.

Importing Snow Configuration to the Airport Extreme Base station

Is it possible to import the Snow's airport saved 'base config' and 'access control list' files to the Airport Extreme Base Station when setting up the extreme? I'm considering upgrading my wireless system. I have 4 XPs and 4 Macs and would prefer not to have to re-enter any of this data or loose any downtime reconfiguring all my computers.

As far as I am aware this is not possible.
However if you configure the Airport Extreme BEFORE you turn off the Snow the downtime should be minimal.
From a security perspective, unless you have Macs running 10.2 or earlier and/or your PC wireless adapters don't support it, all you really need to do is implement WPA for a secure wireless network.
Personally to avoid potential issues I would create a completely new wireless network with a new network name. Some clients have issues with joining a new wireless network with the same network name as a previous network, especially one with a password.

What is the best wireless base station for a clamshell?

i want to purchase a wireless base station for my clamshell but am unsure on which apple product to buy. do you recommend the airport extreme or just the original airport. i've heard from some people that the extreme doesnt' work that well.

The perks of the airport extreme base station are Wireless B/G/N compatibility as well as a USB port for sharing external harddrives, printers, etc.
Your ibook is only compatible with Wireless B networks, so there is no sense in paying for G/N compatibility unless you really need it. The same holds true for the USB port in my opinion. Unless you need it why pay for it.
The original airport base stations are cheaper, and they do exactly what you need them to do.
That's my two cents
