Looking for something in the iPad/iPhone Airport App

Hi
I have been waiting for the airport utility for iPad/iPhone to come as I frequently travel with just my iPad and Airport Express. However, I have been unable to configure it when away from home.
So, Apple has released a utility but it appears to be the most important feature for being on the road, that is, the ability to switch connection sharing (so you can hook up to a hotel system).
Is it that I can't find it or it doesn't allow you to do it. In the iPad app, I am looking for the ability to switch between bridge mode and the other two.
Thanks,
Andrew

Tesserex, thanks for the comment . Can you point to where in the utility I cna figure it to
Share a public IP address
Distribute a range of IP addresses, or
Be off in Bridge mode?
Thanks,I can't work it out.

The AirPort Utility App that is available with iOS 5 does pretty much everything that the Mac or PC versions do including controlling both the NAT & DHCP services to allow you reconfigure an AirPort as a bridge.

Bug in airport app?

Why can't I login on the airport app? It keeps asking for the password... What should I do? I have re-started the airport and reinstalled the app.

If you have never set up the AirPort Express before, the default password is
public
If you have set up the AirPort Express before, you established two passwords. One is a device password to access the settings on the Express. The other is the wireless network password, used to connect to the wireless network.

Names and IPs in Airport App

For Airport App: In the the pictures on the Apple web site under Wireless Clients they show names. All I see are Ip addresses. I'm running on an Ipod Touch 3rd gen and looking at other Ipods and Iphones. How do I get names?

Despite the advertisement or picture, It is not possible to display the device names under Wireless Clients in AirPort Utility. Only the MAC address or AirPort ID of the device will be displayed.
Is is possible to have a Client ID or device name displayed under DHCP Clients, but you have to go into each device individually to set this up. Then the Client ID will be displayed along with other data when you select the DHCP Clients tab.

No chance for a Firmware Update for my AirPort Express 802.11n (1st Generation) with The AirPort app in my ipad 4. can anybody help me?

Hi Folks,
I wanted to re-activate my First Generation AirPort Express to Stream Music in another room. Unfortunatelly i cant Update The Firmware of the first gen airport express with my AirPort App on The ipad 4.
For my online Access i use The AirPort Express newset Generation Woche Works pretty well.
What can i do to use The Old AirPort Express for AirTunes purposes only?
Thanks in advance for your advices,
Daniel

when im searchin for available wifi connections in my house, there is a "AirPort Express e55137" Hardware. When i click on it it sais, i cant configure the Base Station with the Software on the ipad
This tells me that you do not have a 1st Gen AirPort Express. If you did, you would be able to configure the Express with the iPad.
If you have AirPort Utility 5.6 or AirPort Utility 5.6.1 on your MacBook, you can configure the Express using the MacBook.
If you have AirPort Utility 6.x on your MacBook, then you will not be able to configure the Express unless you try a workaround to install an older version of AirPort Utility on your MacBook.

Setting up internet for ipad w/time capsule, but don't have internet to download airport app. Now what

Hi all - Set up my time capsule and got the wi-fi working for my computer. Now trying to set up internet on my new ipad and have seen that I need to download the airport app onto my ipad. Problem is -- I don't have internet for my ipad so I can't download the app. Advice? (Other than . . . go somewhere w/internet)? Thanks!

You do not need the app. The TC can be setup and is setup from what you have stated.. the ipad should get internet as soon as it connects.
If you have issues.. please try the following.. setting it up from your computer.
Use SMB compatible name for wireless ie short no spaces. .pure alphanumeric.
Use fixed radio channels.. as the ipad seems to not like auto rotating channels.. fix 2.4ghz to channel 1, 6, 11 in turn.. pick the one that works best.

AirPort/App Store/Time Capsule issues since update

Ok I have a MacBook Air Mid-2013....Since I did the Yosemite update 10.10 I have experienced the following issues...
1. I cannot connect to my time capsule (well I can if I get go to connect to server and type the ip)
2. The time capsule will not show up in my airport utility (but i can get into it when I configure other)
3. I cannot connect to the App Store.
4. My internet connection seems to go out when i try to get into the app store or the airport utility.
I have turned off my firewall that didnt work. Cleared out my key chain....still nothing......made sure the time was set correctly.....Reset a bunch of times everything.....I can access the time capsule from ios and my imac which i didnt update.

Reset the TC to factory.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Start over from the MBA and redo the setup.
Make sure you use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric names.. pure alphanumeric passwords.
eg TCgen5 base station name. TCwifi wireless name.
Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local only in the computer.
.. Now you might need to setup the TC at least once manually in finder.
Use the name.. as follows
AFP://TCgen5.local
And don't forget to save the password to the keychain.
If you still have issues, it is more likely the MBA installation of Yosemite is faulty.. and I would recommend a clean install.

Airport App Crashes in Leopard

Everything went great on the new MacBook Pro
On the >2 year old dual G5 tower with a standard airport card, I can't get airport to work.
It will recognize the "Home Network" in the Wireless menu, but when I try to join it complains about needing a WEP password, which it already has - same password as before. When I hit connect it either complains of "connection failed", "connection timeout", or one one occasion "incompatible security".
When I launch the Airport Management Utility program that came with the airport extreme basestation, it crashes while complaining that I am now missing a "Graphite" library. The Airport Client Monitor program crashes the same way. I can launch "Airport Utility", but it doesn't recognize any base stations even though the network preferences utility does. Sometimes, however, the network preferences utility doesn't see the network.
In the same room, however, my macbook pro running Leopard is doing just fine on the same airport network! What gives?

I should also add the "Airport Utility" finds the basestation just fine using the Macbook Pro and that I was able to access the basestation just fine from the G5 before updating.

Server app can't connect to AirPort Extreme

I just got a Mac Mini, 2010 and did the upgrade to Mountain lion and then included Mountain lion server. Before I going to further I need to preface by saying that server administration is something new for me so be kind please! Long story short every time I try to Set up airport extreme administration from the server app it tells me that my password is incorrect. I know the password is correct because I'm able to login from my iPad and from my MacBook Pro also to verify that the password is correct. In addition to that, I even changed the password and then entered the new password in the server app set up and it still won't connect and it tells me I have the wrong password. To be clear I know that this is the base station password I need not the network password. I'm not sure if I need to reset my airport extreme or if I need to reload the software on the computer if something is wrong somewhere in the software that's preventing this connection from happening does anybody else know from their experience what the problem might be and how I can fix it? Everything I read up to this point has told me how great it is that I have the AirPort Extreme because it makes it easier to configure ports for VPN and filesharing etc. etc. so you can imagine how frustrated I am that it's not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance.

Had the same issue today randomly and found a thread stating that "Apple knew about this and was working on it". I solved it trying all of theses steps each on their own and it did not work BUT did work in this order for me.
-On the server shut down airport utility and server app if you have them open.
-Go to /Library/Server/ move Network folder to trash and empty
-Open the keychain and search for airport, erase all that come up
-Command line steps (so in Terminal)
sudo rm /var/db/.ServerSetupDone
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "delete :managedIGD" /Library/Server/Network/Config/autoportmap.plist
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "delete :lastIGD" /Library/Server/Network/Config/autoportmap.plist
(at this point it should say it can't find 'lastIGD")
reboot
-open airport utility and enter password for airport app leave open
-open server app, run through config then enter password for airport
This was basically all of the steps I found on various forums and seems to be either a keychain permissions issue or some funky server app issue.

IOS 8.2 airplay AirPrint and app AirPort not working

Scince upgrading to ios 8.2 on my iPhone 5s I can no longer use airplay, AirPrint and I can neither see my airport express/extreme or my time capsule in airport app. Any one else with the same problem? Any fix? Wifi is working.

I did reboot on my devices (iPad & iphone) and then everything came back again, so airplay appeared again and working ok.

New Airport Extreme, new problems.

Hi all. I have just purchased and installed a new airport extreme and am having some issues with it already. Last night during install, When it got to the end of the setup process, the computer screen said that the Airport extreme was to restart. Well, that seemed to take forever, and then the airport that was visable from the Airport utility disappeared. The Green light on the unit was on, indicating no problems, but I was not able to access the internet. I played with it for a while, and tried resetting and going through the set up 2 more times, with the same result. I had given up and was going to contact apple in the morning when suddenly my Ipad received a message from my friend who had sent the message about an hour before. I assumed that the internet was now working, which I confirmed with my Ipad and my Imac. All seemed ok. I even downloaded the Airport app for my I pad and could see the device from the screen.
Today, my Ipad's airport app could not see the device, yet the network was working. Is this typical?
Also, can you hide the SSID (network name). My last wireless router had this feature, which I thought was nice.
Last thing. I can't seem to print from my wireless printer any more. My previous router worked fine for this. It now says it is not connected any more. The network name and password are the same with this Airport as my last router, so I figured it shoud work fine. In the manual, it doesn't seem to mention wireless printing, only printers connected to the Airport with a USB. Does it only work that way?
Sorry for all the questions. If This thing is not going to co-operate, it will be returned to the store. I normally love Apples products, but this one has me scratching my head in doubt.

First you can block the SSID, you need to go into Airport Utility and click on wireless then click the wireless network options and make sure the Create a closed network is selected. Regarding the iOS Airport Utility that could have sometimes. On your printer the Airport Extreme has a USB connector that you can connect a printer to it. It you want to add the printer to the network wirelessly then you may need to go in to you printer setup.

New Airport Time Capsule Dropping Wifi/Internet with 7.7.1

Last week I bought a new Airport 2TB Time Capsule and had everything up and running within minutes. However, less than 24 hours later, the wifi signal started dropping devices all around the house. It started with the AppleTV, and eventually dropped our iPhones and iPad as well. The problem is one I've seen on these forums before (however, not with this new model).
I since exchanged it, and the new model is having the identical issues.
Basically, the problem is 1 of 3 things:
1. You'll look down at your iPhone (or whatever device that is wirelessly connected), and see a full wifi signal. However, you'll have lost access to the Internet. Using the AirPort app won't find the Airport Time Capsule. Sometimes turning off wifi on the iPhone and turning it back on fixes the issue, sometimes the Airport Time Capsule needs to be restarted.
2. The AirPort Time Capsule stops broadcasting SSID at random intervals. Even when standing right next to it, there is no way to join the network.
3. The Internet connection drops in the middle of a browsing session (usually while using an iPhone).
On both devices (the original new one, and the replacement exchange), I immediately ran the firmware update. So, I'm thinking this could be a firmware issue.
This router replaces a Linksys e3000 that was working flawlessly. It's connected to a Cox Cable Cisco DOCSIS 3.0 modem (modem only, no router). The AirPort Time Capsule runs in WPA2 protected mode. It's running DHCP and NAT, and 2.4 and 5ghz are currently running the same network name (although I've tried separating them to no effect).
I am at my wits end. I find it hard to believe that both of these routers are defective. And I also find it hard to believe that I'm doing something wrong in the setup of this simple device, considering I've been working with all kinds of very complicated routers for over a decade without this kind of problem.
So I come to you, community, for help!
Thank you in advance!

I don't have one.. but your testing is conclusive.. the TC is not stable on this firmware.. Apple will no doubt fix it .. I think their secrecy in marketing leads to less than adequate testing.. you are expecting to buy a mature product.. remember this is a ground breaker.. this is the first all new design since Gen1 TC.. all previous models used Maxell processor and chipset.. albeit with various wireless cards.. now it is broadcom.. processor and wireless.. this also runs apple written firmware.
Broadcom OEM firmware.(linux and hence open source) supplied to all manufacturers of products based on the chipset.. well that would be just wrong for apple... it has to be done in NETBSD,, so it is not open source.. the very thought.. open source.. . that would give everyone access to controls apple don't want you to have.. http setup even.. couldn't allow that.. so apple have to write the firmware from scratch and to match all those apple protocols. Hence where they are now now.
And your role is beta tester.. didn't you know.
Return it and stick with your Linksys (broadcom, Linux open source) until Gen 6 TC comes out.
Unless you like the bleeding edge.

How do I set up Airport Extreme to work with Steam?

Hey all,
I bought an Airport Extreme the other week, and since then I have been unable to log onto Steam either through OSX or Win 7 Bootcamp. Since Steam worked fine with my previous router, a basic Thompson version, I'm assuming that I have to setup port forwarding or some such in the Airport app, but after googling the question I haven't found any answer that worked.
Has anyone had success in setting up port forwarding (or similar solutions) for Steam?
Thanks in advance!

I have Steam and did not have to map any ports in order for it to work. However, Steam does provide a support site that indentifies which ports would be required if you want to pursue this.
If you need assistance with how to configure these ports on the AirPort Extreme, please post back.

How do you set up the airport + time capsule to a win XP and 7 machines?

All my Apple products can connect just fine but none of my windows machines can access wirelessly. I tried different downloads but none of them seem to work any way for me to rectify this?

For those who are running Windows and controlling the Airport Base Station with Airport for Windows. Apple just came out with a firmware update for Airport Extreme (7.7.2). It so happens that this Firmware version requires Airport Software version 6.3 or newer. The Windows version only goes as high as Version 5.6 or so. I was also told that Apple is unlikely to upgrade this software. To make a long story short you need to control (Configure) your Airport Base Station with an iMac, or an iPhone or iPad with the Airport app. This solved my problems. Good Luck :)
