I see you're running 10.4.7 - would you consider running software update (select the blue apple in the top menubar, then select software update) and upgrading to 10.4.8, as well as applying any other updates for your MacBook?
It may resolve the issue. The other possible answer is that your wireless connection is experiencing interference.
If you have other 2.4GHz devices (portable house phones, microwave) within reasonable distance form your wireless router it may cause interference with your wireless connnectivity.

  • Air Port Scanning Problem

    I have a MacBook and wifi connection (netgear router is connected to DSL line) . Recently the internet has slowed to a screeching halt. When I look at the Air Port menu bar, Air Port shows that it's continually bouncing from AirPort:scanning to AirPort:on. It shows that I have 4 bars for the connection but yet it takes forever to load any webpage. Has anyone had this type of problem and does anyone know how to fix it?

  • Air Port Extreme connection problems

    I have a Macbook Pro and a 1st gen. Ipod connected to the Internet using an Air Port Extreme.  At this time I cannot use two devices at once to access the Internet, only one or the other.  What should I do to adjust settings on my Airport?

    The modem is a Motorola modem (silver) provided by AT&T and the model # is: 2210-02-1022 - I believe this is correct

  • Air Port Express Audio drop Out Problem

    Hi I have just brought an Air Port Express home and spent the evening setting it up which went relatively smoothly, but once tested using the Optical out into an Musical Fidelity V3 X Dac (Digital to Analog Converter) the sound persistently jitters making music unlistenable,using conventional 3.5mm stereo jack output works fine it only seems to be on the optical.
    Have read as much as I can find of use on the net but it seems either the optical out is faulty or incompatible with this DAC or some people have mentioned it might be the latest version of I tunes all my soft-wear is up to date.
    Does anyone have a solution or should I return it or will anyone at Apple no what I`m talking about in the shop I got the impression they didn`t know anything about the Optical out.
    Any Help greatfully recieved.

    You will need to try several different optical cables as they vary tremendously in their signal integrity. It is not unusual to see two identical cables from the same manufacturer perform very differently. Check out the store's return policy and try several different cables to see if you can find the right combination.

  • Problems with Air Port Express

    I had an AE connected working fine. Now I have the amber light. Tried to reset while plugged in until amber light flashes. Support says the green light will flash 5 times but it never does. Air port Utility shows no AE. What do I do? All i get is this steady amber light. Do I connect it via my time cap? I do not get it.

  • While using the computer the wi fi dropped out and it can longer find any networks. I have played around with the air port etc , still have no networks and can't connect to internet. Please help

    Hi I am having Wi fi connectivity issues , while using my computer the wi fi dropped out , I can no longer connect and no networks come up. I have tried looking into the air port, trying manually to connect to the desired network with no success , it says the Wi fi is turned on. I am at a loss to why it will no longer connect, please if you have any suggestions,as I tried to ring apple support but my warranty has expired this is my first major issue since I purchased it in 2009.
    Thanks

    My 4s i-phone which is 2 years old cannot find any wi-fi networks not even my home network... I had the same problem two months ago but i turned off the i-phone for 8 hours and then it was okay... Now it happened again.... I tried to restart the modem but whilst my laptop is connected regularly, my phone still cannot find any wi-fi networks... I restart the i-phone, i reset it, i chose reset network settings, reset all settings, i turned it off for a whole day in case it was overloaded, i turned on the airplane mode and turned it off again, i put it into the freezer for 10 minutes within a zipped bag but 3 days now and i still cannot be connected to my home wifi... I went to the technician today and he told me that it means that wi-fi is broken and that i need to change it with a charge of 70 euro but i have to give my phone for 10 working days so as to be fixed... I am so frustrated and i don't know if i want to give 70 euro for wifi since i don't know if it would make the same problems again... 

  • I bought a new router and now my mac can no longer find my air port express

    I recently installed a new Netgear N600 router.  The internet and wireless are working.  I had previously purchased an Airport Express for use simply as Air Tunes and used it with our old router with no problems.  However, since we installed the new router the Air Port utility cannot find the Airport Express.  I have reset the settings on the Airport by pushing the little button.
    I have tried connecting using an ethernet and Airport Utility still cannot find the express.
    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I would suggest that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). Once completed, you should be able to access the AX via the AirPort Utility. Note: Be sure to first connect to the AX's wireless network BEFORE accessing it with the utility.

  • I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How?

    I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How to reconfigure.
    I ask because I have music running out of both expresses, and the one that is most distant from the time capsule (routed through the first express) regularly drops the music signal from itunes. And I am guessing the serial configuration of the routers has something to do with this, but my root problem is music dropout - any thoughts would be appreciated.

    If you have the the most current model of the Express devices, the default setup is to "extend" the wireless signal.  In this type of setup, each Express communicates directly to the Time Capsule.
    How did you setup the AirPort Express devices?
    What version of the Mac operating system are you using on your MacBook?   Or, do you have AirPort Utility installed on your iPad?

  • Can I use the new Air port extreme to scan, print, and share a hard drive?

    I currently have a canon 3and1 pixma MP750 printer, and a lacie brick 250gb usb external drive. I'm looking into buying a airport extreme "n" base station and a apple tv to share all my music on my home theater. I'm also planning on updating my current system to an Imac 17" intel duo 2.18g. My question is will I be able to use the scan function on my printer with the air port extreme, or is there away to connect multiple computers to 1 printer? (ie emac directly to printer and airport extreme directly to printer via some product I may not know of) And do you for see any problems sharing the HD drive between the emac, a new imac and a windows based pc with xp operating system if connected throught the airport via usb hub to acomidate the printer as well as the HD?

    My question is will I be able to use the scan function on my printer with the air port extreme
    Unfortunately, no. The new AirPort Extreme Base Station, like all other AirPort Base Stations, do not support the scan or copy features of "all-in-one" printers attached to their USB ports. This is primarily due to the fact that these features require two-way communications which the USB port does not support.
    is there away to connect multiple computers to 1 printer?
    Yes, if the printer is Ethernet-enabled, you can connect it to one of the AEBS's LAN ports...or use a Wireless Ethernet Bridge, like the Linksys WET54G to connect the printer wirelessly to the AEBS.
    And do you for see any problems sharing the HD drive between the emac, a new imac and a windows based pc with xp operating system if connected throught the airport via usb hub to acomidate the printer as well as the HD?
    No, the new AEBS should support this.

  • HT3546 How do I set up my air port extreme to do port forwarding? Running 10.7.4 I have a IP camera on my local wireless net work that I want to use from my iPhone 4s and other computers.

    How do I set up my air port extreme to do port forwarding? Running 10.7.4 I have a IP camera on my local wireless net work that I want to use from my iPhone 4s and other computers.

    In most cable systems, the router you have will plug into your modem and just work automatically. A NAT (Network Address Translation) router takes your external IP and hands out LAN (Local Area Network) based IPs. All of the devices you are working with right now should handle the change automatically unless you've changed from the default automatic configuration.
    The problem with your wireless end of this is that the iPhone is not yet 802.11n, only 802.11g. Because that router is not dual band, all of your wifi devices will be forced to slow down to 802.11g speeds. This won't matter much for each device that's connecting to the internet, as your bottleneck is still going to be there. Where you will see slowdowns is device to device connections, like transferring data between the devices.

  • Air Port and Wireless Router

    I have recently purchased a wireless router from netgear (model # wpn824) and I am unable to connect to it wirelessly. I can connect if I'm plugged directly into the router, but not using air port. Actually, I'm not able to open up my web browser (I get the message "server not found") even if my air port icon is on and it seems as if I'm actually connected to the network. There is another computer in my household (a PC) and usually it has no problem picking up the network and getting online. Help?

    Ensure that the RangeMax feature is disabled on the Netgear. This is not part of the wireless standard and therefore not supported by Apple.
    Ensure that the DHCP server is enabled on the Netgear.
    Ensure that MAC address filtering is disabled on the Netgear.

  • Inability to Make use of Air Port Extreme

    I'm a new Mac Book user who purchased an Air Port Extreme card side-by-side with my Mac Book in hopes that I would be able to use the card to extend my wireless range for the purposes of use at University.
    I have had my Mac Book at home for 3 more days than the Air Port Extreme card, as it arrived via a different shipping company, and have thus far been loving the seamlesness of my internet connectivity. Today, the Air Port Extreme card arrived, and being inexperienced with computers as I am, I assumed there would be a place on the Mac Book itself to plug it in. However, discovering the fact that I was so obviously wrong, I did some exploration in the user manual and found out that if one ordered the card with their lap top, it was apparently installed. So, my first question is:
    Do I have a physical use for this Air Port Extreme card with my Mac Book, or perhaps have I ordered it under the false assumption that I'd be able to use it with my Mac Book?
    Furthermore, I went on to install the Air Port Extreme software packaged with the card on to the computer, and now have Air Port (Extreme) 4.2 on my laptop. However, when I attempt to use the set up client, I encounter the following:
    "In order to use the AirPort Setup Assistant your AirPort card must be enabled and AirPort needs to be turned on and set to use DHCP. Click OK if you would like to change these settings, or Skip if you would like to configure AirPort Base Stations using ethernet."
    Furthermore, when I click OK, the following comes up:
    "There was an error communicating with your AirPort card. Please make sure it is installed properly and try the AirPort Setup Assistant again."
    I went through the install and reset process, and it seems as if I'm being told I haven't done enough installation or set up to make use of the Air Port Extreme internet connection.
    Can someone give some help as to how to circumvent this problem? Is there a physical use for the Air Port Extreme card I'm ignorantly missing? Somewhere to plug it in? Have I ordered it under a false assumption I could use it for my Mac Book? Or is it a matter of tweaking my network preferences?

    Hello Eli Cyment. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I have had my Mac Book at home for 3 more days than the Air Port Extreme card, as it arrived via a different shipping company, and have thus far been loving the seamlesness of my internet connectivity. Today, the Air Port Extreme card arrived, and being inexperienced with computers as I am, I assumed there would be a place on the Mac Book itself to plug it in.
    All of the new MacBooks come with an AirPort Extreme card built-in so, unfortunately, ordering the card was unnecessary.
    Do I have a physical use for this Air Port Extreme card with my Mac Book, or perhaps have I ordered it under the false assumption that I'd be able to use it with my Mac Book?
    No, and Yes.
    "In order to use the AirPort Setup Assistant your AirPort card must be enabled and AirPort needs to be turned on and set to use DHCP. Click OK if you would like to change these settings, or Skip if you would like to configure AirPort Base Stations using ethernet."
    This is basically telling you that the AirPort Setup Assistant required that the AirPort card be enabled in order to use it to setup an AirPort base station. Do you currently have and are using an AirPort base station for your Internet access?
    You should also have either the "AirPort Admin Utility" and/or the "AirPort Utility" (note the missing word "Admin") in your \Applications\Utilities folder. Which one(s) do you have?
