Airport Extreme (2005 model) compatible with PCs?

Hello, been a while since Ive been on the boards maybe you can help.
Have an airport extreme base station from 2005. Mac powerPC G5 tower and Macbook are both connecting fine. However, HP pc and dell laptop recieve 'limited or no connectivity', even though both PC models can see
the airport device. They show 'excellent' signal strengh, yet cannot access
the web via the airport extreme. Not sure how they can see the airport if
they are not compatible, perhaps my setting are not in order. Any info
appreciated, thank you!

The 2005 AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) creates a standard 802.11b/g wireless network. Therefore any device capable of connecting to a standard 802.11b/g wireless network can connect to the network provided by the AEBS.

  • AirPort Extreme card not compatible with Mac Pro???

    Hey,
    I recently purchased my Mac Pro without thinking to include any hardware for connecting to a wireless network.
    I have recently moved into a new apartment which I am keen to join to a wireless network which has just been set up by my roommate for his PC and Laptop.
    I was going to buy an AirPort Extreme card, but I have read that it is not compatible with the Mac Pro. Yet when I looked at the configure process for a new mac it was listed as one of the devises offered for wireless networking!!
    I am very confused...
    I was wondering if anyone could help me, i just need to know what hardware i will need and how it would be installed.
    thanks, all help will be greatly appreciated!
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    the mac pro takes a slightly different airport express card. you have to purchase it at the retail store and have them install it. in my experience they will not allow you to purchase one and install it yourself due to the difficulty of installing it. best thing to do take your macpro into a apple retail store and see what they can do.

  • Just bought a brand new Airport Extreme and having trouble with it being recognized. I have a Mac version 10.5.8. Is my computer compatible?  I have the Airport Express now and it works fine.

    Just bought a brand new airport extreme and having trouble with it being recognized.  My mac is version 10.5.8.  What should I do?

    The new AirPort Extreme needs the 6.x version of AirPort Utility, which comes packed in with Lion 10.7.5 or Mountain Lion 10.8.x......or......you can also configure the device using an iPhone or iPad running a recent iOS.
    From Apple's Specifications:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    A few options.....
    Borrow another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion for 10-15 minutes and set it up. The Mac running 10.5.8 will be able to connect to the wireless....but it will not be able to make any changes to the configuration of the Extreme.
    Update to Lion or Mountain Lion.....but check first to make sure that your Mac will support the operating system first.
    Use....or borrow an iPhone or iPad to set up the Extreme

  • Have airport extreme, square model, have a external harddrive to use as back up(formated for mac)hooked it up to the usb port in back. can't find it on my computer. what am i doing wrong

    have the airport extreme, square model. have a external harddrive formated for mac hooked up to the usb port in back.
    i can't find the harddrive on the computer for back up in timemachine. what am i doing wrong?

    First, if you are not aware, you need to know that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
    That may be part of the problem here, so if you want to continue to try this, you need to understand that there are no guarantees of success.
    Some users do seem to be able to make this work, but most have some problems and some....like me....have nothing but problems when they try this.
    If you want to continue to try this, the first thing to verify is that the drive is formatted specifically in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Have you verified that the drive is formatted correctly by connecting it directly to your Mac and using Disk Utility to check?
    Some drives that are advertised as being "compatible for Mac" are not formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Time Machine has no chance of success unless the drive is first formatted correctly.
    I would also ask that you consider leaving the drive connected to your Mac for Time Machine backups. That will be supported, and is a far more reliable way to keep backups if your data is important to you.
    Next, we need to know what operating system you are running on your Mac. If you do not know, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac.  Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

  • Will my airport extreme 2nd generation work with docsis 3.0 cable modems?

    Will my airport extreme 2nd Gen work with docsis 3.0 cable modems?

    RRoger, everything is working fine.
    So, what is the actual problem here?  You are now wondering if the Vonage can handle the speed from the modem? Is that the "problem" after all this discussion?
    now I am wondering if my current setup will allow me to get docsis 3.0 speeds.
    What speed is your Internet provider delivering to you?
    The AirPort Express uses 100 Mbps Ethernet ports, so it will handle up to 100 Mbps. We have already told you that.
    Vonage likely does the same. The answer is almost certainly "yes" .......both the Vonage and AirPort will handle the speed from the modem.
    If you want to double check this, please provide the model number of the Vonage,  and we will try to look up the specifications for the device. If you have documentation there with specifications for the Vonage device, check to see if the Ethernet ports are listed as 10/100. This is standard with almost all devices, with some of them handling even higher speeds 10/100/1000.
    Chances are, your network will handle a lot more speed than your service provider is supplying to you. So, the "choke" point on your network may very well be your service provider and modem......not the Vonage and AirPort.

  • My airport extreme only will connect with computer or ipad not both

    my airport extreme only will connect with computer or ipad not both

    We need just a bit more information, please before we can begin to accurately troubleshoot this issue.
    1) What is the make and model number of your modem?
    2) What operating system are you using on the MacBook Pro at this time. Your tagline indicates that you are using OS X (10.4.8), but this is about 6-7 years out of date.
    If you are no sure which operating system your Mac is using......click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

  • Need to open NAT for Xbox 360 using AirPort Extreme 2012 Model

    Alright this is driving me crazy haha.
    Here is the equipment im working with.
    Xbox 360
    Motoroloa SB6141 Modem from time warner cable
    Airport extreme 2012 model
    Early 2011 Macbook pro
    if its been released i have the update for it. haha
    So i have not had this issue before i got the SB6141 on Saturday.
    I have read things about it and none of it is clicking. trying to get more personalized help here.
    Any Help is appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!

    So i have not had this issue before i got the SB6141 on Saturday.
    That.....is the problem.
    Right now, you are getting Double NAT because the modem is providing NAT firewall and the AirPort is providing NAT firewall. That equals Double NAT also known as Strict NAT.
    Contact Time Warner support to get the default IP address for the modem so that you can get into the settings and turn off the firewall in the modem.  It needs to be set to pure bridge mode. A decent phone tech will know how to do this.
    If you have other modem options, you won't have this problem with a Netgear CMD31T....also on the list of TWC recommended modems.

  • Can i use my airport extreme as a modem with comcast

    can i use my airport extreme as a modem with comcast cable

    No, since there is no modem on board an AirPort Extreme, so you will need to use an outboard modem if you want the AirPort Extreme to have Internet access.

  • Our airport extreme network works fine with our 6 devices. But when someone comes over and tries to log on, they can't until we restart the airport.  Then they can get on, but it knocks one of our devices off the network.  Any ideas?

    I have not done a factory reset, I was trying to find out if I had some setting configured wrong first.  I figured I'd just make things worse if went through a reset!

    Thanks planb77. Your instructions worked but I had to do a little more than you stated. I did not realize that transferring files to a new computer was not enough. When the iPod synced I was told I needed to "authorize" my new computer to get my iTunes purchases to sync to the iPod. So after the initial sync, I ejected and disconnected the iPod, went into the iTunes store, set up "home sharing" and then authorized the new computer. When that was done I reconnected the iPod and was able to sync all my books and music. The only thing I couldn't do was rename the iPod as iTunes never asked me to. Is there a way to rename it after it has been set by iTunes as "owner's iPod"?

  • Im thinking of buying an iPad 2 is it compatible with pcs? can i downloud a report from it and then use excel on a pc from there?

         I am thinking of buying and I pad 2.  Is it compatible with pcs?  Is it a good option for a college computer? I have a Mac at home that i can use to print written reports off but is it possible to download a report to a pc and use excel or some other system like that? Or does Apple have app like excel.
         Also do most professors accept Apple documents? Like pages and such.
    Thanks for the Assist Ashton.

    iPads are absolutely compatible with Windows PCs. Through iTunes File Sharing you can transfer documents from supported apps to your computer. Most professors don't support iWork file formats, however iWork on the iPad can save in either iWork format or Microsoft Office format so you will be fine as long as you save it as an Office format.
