AirPort Base working on and off on Windows machines?

So I have an AirPort base I got not even a year ago. It's been working fine until all of a sudden the other day, everything was disconnected, and set up in a different room. Now, the service is coming and going on my room mates computers, which are windows based. Everything else, my iMac/phone/pad Xbox, all have worked fine during this same time.
Why would the service come and go on their computers? The connection is there, it just won't let them use the internet, or if it does its DL speed is like .5. Then all of a sudden it will work again, and go away later.
Any ideas?

Not sure how you ended up here...
Maybe if you post your question in the PowerBook G4 discussion area a PowerBook user could offer advice.

  • TS3274 the sound is not working on my ipad, it stops working on and off, will work with ear phones and then it will stop working

    the sound on my ipad is not working.  It will work on and off and then cut out all together.  Sometimes if I use the ear phones it will work for a while and then it will cut out all together

    Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

    been looking for something a bit like it got an old ipod thouch in a audio dock in the kitchen and want to give it access to all my music not just play what is synced
    so far my only options is to get an app to use upnp to get the music directly from my nas

  • Will the Bedford PowerSynch case work with iTunes on a Windows machine?

    Will the Bedford PowerSynch work with iTunes on a Windows machine vs using a Mac?

    Do you mean the Bretford PowerSync cart or tray for iPads and iPods? If so, Bretford's web site lists only Mac OS X. You'll have to contact Bretford and ask if there's a workaround for Windows, or any plans to add Windows compatibility.

  • Airport Base Cutting in and Out

    My Airport base station has started cutting in and out and restarting it only sometimes works. Once returning to detectable signal, it may work for seconds, minutes or hours.
    For four years, we have had a flat-screen iMac, an eMac and a network printer working without a hitch. Recently, We added a MacBook Pro, also without a glitch. Suddenly, in the past three days, the signal has frequently become undetectable, even at the iMac only 2 feet away.
    Clearly, it does return to use, as I am using it now. Leaving it in use (e.g streaming a radio over internet) seems to keep it active, but I am not sure for how long.
    I've tried it all: turn Airport on and off; unplug and re-start base station; unplug and re-start DSL modem; repair permissions; name it.
    The unit seems to have spontaneous regeneration as it seems to work after sitting unused for a while (though I have to log back in, which I have not had to do in the past).
    All three computers are running 10.4.5 and all have the latest Airport updates.
    Is there something else to try? Do I just go for a new base station? Could it be something outside--DSL, electronic interference, etc? (No new electronics in the house.)
    Airport Base Station (not Extreme--Snow?)   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    yes, am experiencing a similar problem.
    brand new iMAC intel, with firmware upgraded. 10.4.6
    when I try to do a software upgrade, I can begin the download. it goes for about 2 mb or so, and then cuts out.
    no signal, download is stopped...but a few seconds later the airport signal is back on at full strength.
    am going to try the suggestion of channel change

  • AirPort Base Station Update 2007-001 for Windows

    Hi,
    Is anyone else having problems after applying the latest AirPort Base Station update (version 5.1) found here
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportbasestationupdate2007001forwindows .html
    Before this update I was able to use the AirPort Utility in Windows (version 5.0) but now I receive the following error
    AirPort Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    AppName: aputil.exe
    AppVer:5.1.0.14
    ModName: kernel32.dll
    ModVer: 5.1.2600.2945
    Offset: 00012a5b
    The only fix I have is to uninstall and reinstall the original version 5.0
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dell Inspiron   Windows XP Pro   also MacBook with Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    You are not alone, I have the same problem. This is after removing and reinstalling 5.0, re-downloading the update - once from Software Update and once directly from the apple site. Still NO JOY! Back on 5.0

  • Will 11G XE work on a 64 bid windows machine.

    I had trouble with the 10 G XE trying to down load it on 64 bits.
    If I cannot use it on 64 bits could I make it work if I down load Unbuntu Linux?

    Hello,
    I would like to down load and install 11g XE beta but I do not know if it will install and run on my 64 bid Windows machine.Why (and how) would you install the "beta"? 11g XE "final" has been released more than a year ago and even if you still find a beta download somewhere, license terms would forbid to use it anymore...
    As you probably found out, there is no Windows 64 installer and the Windows installation requirements don't list 64bit Windows as supported. If you use the forum search, you'll find tons of posts on that issue, especially on possible issues when using the 32bit Windows installer on 64bit Windows, and how other people worked around them.
    If I cannot use it on 64 bits could I make it work if I down load Unbuntu Linux?There is a 64bit Linux installer, but Ubuntu is not on the list of supported Linux flavors. There exists a great tutorial for this scenario, though: {thread:id=2301639}. Note that later Ubuntu versions may require additional/different steps.
    In general, see {thread:id=2278170} for details on all OSes.

    Hello,
    yes it is possible, we are having oracle 8.04 running on Netware 5.0 with Win98 clients using D2K.
    However further versions of oracle e.g. 8i,9i etc are not available and never going to be available on netware.
    hence we are migratiing to Win2K Adv server.
    regards.

  • Airport Base station (g) and Express (g) - Which is better?

    I have both from an older wireless system in the house. Both were replaced by a new Time Capsule, which is an (n) system, of course. I currently use the older base station for my printer so all computers can use it wirelessly. The Express is at the other end of the house supplying wireless to my entertainment center.
    The Q: would it be better to move the base station to the entertainment center, or would it even make a difference. It seems it wouldn't matter, but I thought I would ask anyway.

    The Q: would it be better to move the base station to the entertainment center, or would it even make a difference. It seems it wouldn't matter, but I thought I would ask anyway.
    Let's review the absolute best way to connect and then work back from there so you can make a decision based on your requirements.
    The "best" connection in terms of performance (speed and network bandwidth) is always a wired ethernet connection. Newer routers and computers will allow Gigabit speeds between devices up to 300+ feet away. In terms of numbers, that's 1000 Mbps.
    The very best 802.11n 5 GHz wireless systems will allow up to 300 Mbps bandwidth. Most "n" wireless systems are operating at 2.4 GHz, which will allow up to 130 Mbps. I think you may already be seeing where this is going.
    Now, the bandwidth (speed capability) on any wireless system falls off in proportion to the distance from the main router to the device receiving the signal. It's not exactly accurate, but safe to say that a device at 50 feet from the main router is only going to get about half of the signal that a device at 25 feet will get.
    So, with wireless, the rules are always the same. The closer a device is to the broadcast source, the better the performance. Any obstructions like walls or ceiling that absorb the signal come into play as well.
    I think you have your answer.

  • Airport transmission cycling on and off

    I have a new Airport extreme that I use with 2 MacBooks and an Apple TV in my house. The signal from the Airport seems to go into an on/off cycle. It happens on both my MacBooks. The signal indicator in the menu bar goes from grey to active every few seconds. This has only started happening since the latest firmware update. I have tried resetting it and using it without any attached USB devices.
    I have a couple of dd-wrt's set up in bridge mode for a Tivo and alarm system. Would they be causing the problem? They didn't cause any conflicts before the firmware upgrade.
    Should I revert to factory settings and try rebuilding the network?

    I'm having the same issue. For me it seems very random. I'll be doing something online and suddenly things will seemingly hang up. That's when I notice that the signal indicator is grey. Usually when I click on the icon it will scan for networks and the signal will come back and I'm all set. Its more of a pain in the butt than anything else. The biggest problem is that I don't let the icon display on my kids' login screens so that I can turn internet access off now and then when I don't want them getting on it. So when the signal goes away, they have no way to "reconnect". When it happens and they're logged in the easiest way to get it back seems to be to go to my login and click on the signal icon. Of course, that only works when I'm home to login. I would love to keep this from happening, as it is very frustrating for my wife and kids.
    My AE is set up on the 5 GHz band, which is the main reason I got it. I'd been having issues with the portable phones interfering with the Linksys router at 2.4 GHz. After I got the AE things worked great, but I think this latest update added this current problem. The only device I have on my AE is the Linksys, which I use to connect my work laptop to at home (it was set up for this before I had the AE). One of these days I'll get the laptop on the AE, but I just haven't gotten to it.

  • My ipod 4g external speaker has been working on and off for the past few days since christmas. 2 days ago it was working all morning then in the afternoon in the middle of watching a video it just stopped. it hasnt worked since ): any help?

    My ipod touch was given to me from apple refurbished and still with ios 5.0.2 after owering it on for the first time and updating to 6.0.1 it was functioning normally and i was using it just fine. i had just begun to use itunes and i bought some music and after playing about 3 or 4 songs aloud from the external speaker it stopped working. just like that. i looked over the internet about other incidents like that but then after thaty i returned back to my ipod and began playing Tron and the sound worked fine! i exited the app and it played my music just fine too. then the next day it went out again and no sound was being played. i left it alone and after about 2 or 3 hours i came  back to it and it played sound again. the next day it went out in the middle of watching a video i had just taken. it hasnt come back on since. any help/suggestions?? anything plz..

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
    Replace the jack yourself
