Airport Admin Utility Doesn't Show Basestation

I just moved, and neither my Airport Extreme or Airport Express show up in the Airport Admin Utility even though they both appear under the Airport menu bar pull-down menu. I've done hard resets for both with to no effect.

Well MY base station doesn't show up at all no matter what I do...
I had my network running just fine and then one day it jsut stopped working. Try as I might, I couldn't connect to the Base Station to change or even see what was wrong.
I thought that it was my base station since it was old and had a lot of hours on it, so I got another one.
Now, out of the box it still won't show up on either Airport Admin or Setup Assistant. The Network is there, but the base station doesn't come up. I've done a soft restart a number of times, unplugged it and let it sit before trying again and even restarted my computer as well with no luck. My computer works fine wirelessly and I can connect to networks without a problem.
What's Up?!

  • Airport Admin utility doesn't find basestation

    Hi. I'm having a problem where the Airport Admin Utility doesn't list my basestation on my PowerMac G5. The Admin Utility on the PowerMac G4 displays it fine.
    However, I can access the basestation from the G5 in Airport Admin Utility by clicking "other" and manually entering the ip address of the basestation. And I have no problem accessing the internet or the network from either machine.
    I'm using a 802.11b card in the G4 and I have the newer "g" card in the G5.
    Any ideas?

    This doesn't completely answer my question. It only mentions that Airport Setup Assistant no longer supports legacy basestations under OS X tiger 10.4.
    It doesn't mention about the Airport Admin utility. Which is what doesn't show/display/list the basestation in the select basestation window. Yet I have no problem using the internet.
    I can't believe Apple would completely abandon Airport Snow & Graphite basestation users. Is this true? Although My "Snow" basestation is about 4 years old it still chugs along adequately for my needs.
    Any other ideas?
    BTW... All my Macs are running 10.4.6 (the latest) so I would think my results should be the same on all Macs.

  • Airport Admin Utility Doesn't See Basestation But Setup Asst. Does

    G4 won't connect to established Airport network that my MacBook Pro and PC do connect to. Admin Utility doesn't see basestation even though it is listed under the Airport icon at the top of the screen. Using Setup Assistant it sees the network, but when I enter the correct password it gets an error.
    This system has worked perfectly in the past.
    I suspect the transmitter in the G4 Airport card has dropped dead. Any other ideas will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    The configuration for the Extreme base station asks if you want 802.11g or 802.11 b&g. I had checked .11g only forgetting that my G4 Airport card was .11b.

  • AirPort Disk Utility doesn't show AE Base Station-connected USB Hard Drive

    I've got my AirPort network up and running, but I can't get he AirPort Disk Utility to recognise my LaCie USB Hard Drive.
    A menu popped up once saying it had "become available" and asked me to eneter a password, but when I did it said it was incorrect (it wasn't) and the drive had disappeared again.
    Suggestions?

  • Admin utility doesn't find airport

    Here's my setup. I'm using the Airport as a wireless client to connect to my stereo so I can stream music from iTunes. I have one PC connected to the network by Ethernet to the router. I have another PC connected to the network by wireless. On the Ethernet PC the Airport admin utility doesn't find the Airport automatically. But I can enter the IP address and password for the Airport and it is found and I can change the settings. But iTunes on the Ethernet PC does not find the remote speakers. I have the option turned on to look for remote speakers in iTunes. And the Airport is working because iTunes on the wireless PC finds the remote speakers and streams music just fine. I've also opened up ports 5353, 5298, and 5009 on the PC's firewall. Why can't iTunes find the remote speakers on the Ethernet PC?

    Thanks for the reply. I should have explained my network setup better. I have a Linksys BEFSR41 router that the Ethernet PC is plugged into. There is a Linksys WAP54G access point plugged into the router. I have two PCs connected to the network through the wireless access point. iTunes on both of those PCs can find the Airport and share their libraries. iTunes on the PC connected directly to the router cannot find the Airport or the other libraries. Although the network connection to the Airport works because I can enter the IP address of the Airport in the admin utility and the config utility works.
    I also tried connecting a laptop that normally connects wirelessly directly to the router. And iTunes could not find the Airport. So I'm guessing it is something with the router or that the Airport doesn't work with wired clients. I don't think it is the firewall because I have the same firewall with the same settings on all 3 PCs.

  • Airport not listed in Airport Admin Utility

    My Airport Extreme not listed in Airport Admin Utility, but sometime it re-appear after reboot. I have no problem connecting to the Internet both wired and wireless even through Airport Admin Utility does not show a Airport Extreme. I can also access the Airport Extreme if I type in the IP address and the password. The problem is that when it does not show up, I cannot print via Bonjour. Did anybody have similar problem and way to resolve it? I have a iMac (wired) and a Powerbook (wireless) connect to the Airport Extreme. Thanks

  • "Confirguration Error" in Airport Admin Utility

    When I start up the Airport Admin Utility, an error shows: "Configuration Error: This version of Airport Admin Utility does not support this base station. You can't update the software for this base station...."
    My system basics:
    Airport Admin Utility v420.31
    Airport Extreme (UFO) v4.0.9
    I cannot upgrade the Airport firmware due to the above error. I searched in the Apple support site and cannot find the later version of Admin Utility for download.
    Please help!!!!

    Since I am using Mac OS X10.3.9, I cannot use "Airport Utility".
    Actually, I try "Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow" but another error message prompted up. That is :"Airport Admin Utility does not support this base statin. Use Airport Utility, located in the Utility folder...."
    So frustrated!!
    I try:
    Airport Admin Utility --> Failed
    Airport Admin Utility v4.25 --> Failed
    Airport Utility v5.x --> Failed not support in OS X10.3.9

  • Strange ip address showing on airport admin utility

    I have two machines networked together via an Airport extreme and X-modem, with Tiombuktu to connect to remote Macs. Suddenly my iMac is not broadcasting its public IP address and so remote machines (not on my LAN) can't see it.
    Airprt Admin Utility does not show the connected Airport in list of connected Airports - in fact all connected Airports (Base station and two Expresses) have same IP address of 254.18.0.0. If I click on other my Base station appears correctly but the prt addresses for the iMac are not being seen by the machine. It connects to the internet OK but is ignoring Timbuktu.
    I have thrown away the Airport plist prefs but the same addresses keep coming up when I open the utility. I have repaired permissions (10.3.9 on iMac) and rebuilt directory with DiskWarrior but no changes.
    Does anyonme know what is happening?

    I don't use Xserve but when this happens to me:
    I reset the express. I use a wireless Mac to "find" the Express. Need to select the network under the Airport icon. If not there then System prefs/netwrok/status/airport then drop down menu to preferred. If there select it and then select apply then back to that airport icon and finish by using the Airport Utility or in your case Admin utility. If not found in preferred then use the + button. I have never failed to "find" my "lost" network using this counter measure.
    If you don't have a wireless Mac then do it with an ethernet connection.

  • Non LAN IP address showing up in LAN in Airport Admin Utility

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have two Airport Expresses, with the second one (for AirTunes only) joined to the existing network of the first one. The strange thing is, the IP address in the Airport Admin Utility for the second one shows up as an ISP IP (ie 134.362.74.141) while the first (base) one shows as 10.0.01. To top it off, I've already factory reset the second one twice now, but I still get the same ISP IP addresses and I can't get its configuration profile to open via the Airport Admin Utility.

    If you hold in the reset button while plugging the Express unit into a convenient electrical receptacle, the old profiles will also be eliminated while the factory reset is done.

  • Airport Express flashing amber, but shows normal in airport admin utility

    I just replaced a Microsoft wireless router with an Airport Extreme base station. I've had 2 airport express stations on the old wireless network working fine with solid green lights - 1 streams airtunes and the other is a print server. I installed the extreme base station and now the 2 airport express stations appear as normal / working in the airport admin utility but have flashing amber lights. the print server actually works - I can print. The airtunes streams, but it cuts out every 5-10 seconds. Can't figure out how to get rid of the flashing amber and can't find the error since the airport admin shows them as green and working normal.
    Any ideas??

    Hi ...... I am having the same problem but am having difficulties finding out why.
    How did you solve it ?
    Many thanks in advance

  • Airport Express Base Station doesn't appear in AirPort Admin Utility list

    Hi,
    After applying the "Security Update 2007-003" I had the following problem and can't solve it:
    Now I can't find anymore my Airport Express base station under the list of Base stations in Airport Admin Utility and am also having problems while printing wireless, if the printer goes to sleep mode he doesn't wake up automatically anymore to do the job, every time I have to close it and open it again.
    I can't find a solution for this problem, please HELP!
    Thanks,
    Macuser

    "it was downloaded by the software update"
    No problem then. Apparently there WAS such an update, but I missed it and it's been deleted from the list of available downloads, as you can clearly see.
    There is now a new "Security Update 2007-004" for Tiger, and I think it's safe to assume that this will help correct your problems.
    If your problems still exist afterwards, you will want to reset the AirPort Express unit to factory settings and erase all current configuration profiles. Do that by holding in the reset button with a straightened paper clip while plugging the unit into a convenient electrical receptacle. Open the utility "AirPort Setup Assistant" and choose to "Set up a new AirPort Base Station" and proceed. After successful completion, unplug and relocate the AirPort Express to its usual location.

  • Can't change channels on Airport Admin Utility

    When I go into the Airport Admin Utility and go to configure my Airport Express Base Station which I play my iTunes through my home stereo, it initially will show the channel setting for about a half a second and then it shifts to a different screen that shows:
    Base Station
    Name:
    Contact:
    Location:
    (Change password...) (Base Station Options...)
    AirPort Network
    Wireless Mode:
    Wireless Network:
    Wireless Security: 128 bit WIP
    (Security Options...)
    (Wireless Options...)
    I can't figure out how to get back to that screen that initially flashed up to change the channel settings.
    I'm having dropping issues playing music through my home stereo and a number of posts recommend changing the channel or the multicast rate and I can't get back to this screen!
    Can someone help me figure out how to get back to this setting screen?
    iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Change the value in the "Wireless Mode" window to "Create a Wireless Network (Home Router)" to get the channel option back. If this doesn't work, you may need to do a "factory default" reset to get it back to it's "out-of-the-box" condition where this would be the default mode.

  • Airport Admin Utility Problem: Configuration error

    I just bought an Airport Extreme 802.11n. Installed the program, checked for updates, setted up, everything is working fine.
    Except, the AirPort Admin Utility. Everytime I open the program and select Config, it pops up with a window that says Config Error: This version of AirPort Admin Utility does not support this base station. You can't update the sofware for this base station, but you may be able to make confiuration changes to it.
    And this window does not go away when I click continue. But I am able to change password and select any of the options that is showing on the current screen. But the error window does not go away.
    I need to get into the Port Mapping window but this error window is blocking it. Please Help.

    On mine there was a previous Airport Admin Utility App. This one was pre-installed and doesn't work with my new AirPort Extreme BS. There is another App called, "Airport Utility" that was installed from the new DVD and it works w/ the new Airport Extreme BS.

  • AirPort Extreme Base Station is not Available in AirPort Admin Utility

    I don't see my APEX Base Station in the list in AirPort Admin Util. I can configure by opening by IP. I have no software firewall. I have plugged in directly to base station, and have reflash with 5.7 firmware. I am using 4.2 of AirPort Admin. I've Tried everything I can find in forums. Anyone else have issues?
    I'm using Mac OS 10.4.4

    I have tried resetting it. It doesn't always work. Sometimes the base station is listed, and sometimes it is not. The base station is functioning though. I can access the newtork, It just doesn't show up in Admin Util.
    I also have an AP Epress connected to AP Extreme via WDS. From the wired side, they either both show up or both do not, which is expected. When they don't show up on the Admin list, the Express also doesn't show up in iTunes from the wired side. Wireless clients don't seem to exhibit this problem.

    I recently updated to leopard, and I started having problems with my iphone connecting to my wifi network at home. It had worked with out a problem, for months before I upgraded to Leopard.
    I started to notice it only happened when my girlfriend would come home from work (she also has an iPhone).
    I decided I needed to change some settings on my Airport Extreme but when I go to the Airport Utility and scan for an Airport it finds Nothing...
    My Mac Pro and Power Book G4 always connect to the wifi...
    My iPhone works great on wifi when the girlfriend is not in the house....
    Her iPhone seems to always have a wifi signal in the house...
    I Hope this has a fix... and soon....
