Airport Extreme 7.3.2 update - invalid network passwords

As part of the software update to 10.5.4 the firmware on my Airport Extreme was also updated, now I can no longer access the wireless network with any of my client systems - MacBook Air, iPod Touch. Continual response of invalid password - both with the original password and any new password I entered. After much experimenting I found the only way to get the clients onto the network was to turn off network security. Originally I was using WPA2 Personal.
Also with the new firmware update the Airport Extreme will not come out of reset after an update from the Airport Utility - have to do a power-on reset - a real pain as the Airport is at the top of the house and the Mac in the study in the cellar !
Any suggestions as to how to resolve this problem so that I can restore security to my network.
Thanks Alan

I also had a very similar problem upgrading to the 7.3.2 firmware for the Airport Express. (I am just using the Airport Express as an iTunes extender for my stereo.)
What I found out is that WPA2 was somehow changed in the Firmware. After I changed my network security to WPA/TKIP, I finally got everything working again. I am also using a LinkSys WRVS4400N router.
However, there are times still when the computer hosting the Airport Utility will get knocked off of the Wireless N network, (it only has a Wireless G) card. I have no idea why this is happening, but just know that it started happening after the firmware update.
I have not rolled back to 7.3.1 yet.
I hope this helps!

  • Can I connect a 4 TB USB drive to the airport extreme and use it as a network drive for Time Machine

    Can I connect a 4 TB USB drive to the airport extreme and use it as a network drive for Time Machine

    Yes, if the drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    The USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered, so you may need use a powered USB hub with the 4 TB drive...even if it has its own power supply.

  • How to use Airport Extreme to create a second wireless network with different IP addresses behind an existing modem/router?

    Hi,
    I have an existing modem/router from my ISP that does DHCP and NAT with base IP 192.168.1.1 distributed in the wireless network. I use this wireless network for our private devices. I could turn off the DHCP server in this first router, but there isn't a separate setting to turn off NAT.
    I want to connect my Airport Extreme (4th gen) to this existing router to create a separate wireless network for visiting guests, where IP addresses of 10.0.0.0 etc. are used. So I do not want to use the Airport Extreme in bridge mode, as I would like to keep the devices on the first network 'invisible' for those on the second network. (P.S. when connected in bridge mode, the Airport works well and can distribute a network with a different name from the first. It's just that I would feel more comfortable about our privacy if the Airport were to distribute a different IP range. False security, maybe?)
    I've tried doing this by 'Sharing a public IP address' in Airport Utility's Internet tab, leaving TCP/IP's setting to 'via DHCP', setting DHCP addresses to start with 10.0.0.2 up to 200 with all else blank, and not using a standard host nor NAT-PMP in the NAT tab.
    When I do this the Airport complains of a 'double NAT issue'. Internet connectivity seems to be OK, but when switching between the two networks on my Mac I get complaints about my IP address being in use by another device intermittently.
    Can anyone help in how to get the 'double NAT issue' resolved?
    Thanks!

    So if someone is connected to the modem/router network they will be able to see the HD I will have put in to the AirPort Extreme?
    As I said above.....since the modem/router and AirPort are bridged, devices on the modem/router wireless will be able to "see" devices on the AirPort wireless, and vice versa.....
    If they can see the HD connected to the AirPort Extreme, will they be able to access it
    Yes, unless you plan to password protect the drive connected to the AirPort Extreme.
    or will they still need the password needed to get onto the AirPort Extreme network?
    The modem/router and AirPort Extreme are bridged. They are on the same network. All devices are on the same network when the modem/router and AirPort are bridged. Not sure how else that I can say this.
    Also, because it is bridged, I shouldn't have any problems accessing the HD I will have connected to the AirPort Extreme from an external location?
    Accessing devices from a remote location is never easy....and a topic for a different post/discussion. If you have a "static" Internet IP address from your provider, and have all the details on how to forward ports on your modem/router, you are off to a good start.
    Apparently there is some addressing issues because devices can be seen as "Double IP" because the modem/router would have allocated IP's as well as the AirPort allocating IP's thus making connections slower until resolved
    When you "bridge", all IP addresses are issued by one device. There will be no conflicts on the network, since they are bridged.
    Once again, in very simple terms, you have two doors (access points) that open into the same room (network).  One "door" is the modem/router and the other "door" is the AirPort Extreme. They are on the same network....("room") because they are bridged.

  • My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house.  Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?

    My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house.  Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?  Network is administered through an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.  Ideally, would like for the second Airport Extreme hard drive to appear on the list of devices in the Finder window.

    Ok.. gottcha
    The problem is network wise.. Yosemite is about equal to tin cans and string.. pathetic.
    Here is my usual set of instructions to get anything working on Yosemite.
    The best way to fix problems is a full factory reset of all the AE in the network.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg AEgen5 and AEwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
    Even better if the issue is more wireless use AE24ghz and AE5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for AE which is router.. it is a problem for AE which is bridged.. you will need to set static IP in the main router by dhcp reservations or use static IP in the AE which is tricky.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
    5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
    6. Now mount the disk of the second AE in finder... manually.
    Use Go, Connect to Server and type in the AE ip address.
    SMB://10.0.1.2
    Where you will replace that address with the actual address. The network resource should be discovered and then it will request the password.. type that in and make sure you tick to save it in your keychain.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    Do as much as you want of the above... not all of it is necessary.. only if you want it reliable.. or as reliable as Yosemite in its current incarnation can manage.
    The most important thing is point 6.. mount the disk using direct IP address and not names.. dns in Yosemite is fatally flawed.

  • I connected an airport extreme (2013) to an existing pc network

    I connected an airport extreme (2013) to an existing pc network and I had to change all my ip addresses.  I managed to catch on to the apple replacement range and reset all my printers' addresses manually.  Was there an easier way to handle this?  Also, I lost the connection to my WD Worldbook drive though and haven't been able to come up with a work around.  Any ideas would help, thanks!

    First, to answer your question about the WD drive - I could not find it with an ethernet connection.  I tried connecting to the usb port on the Extreme, but it was not visible there either.
    When connecting an external network drive to the AirPort Extreme by Ethernet, the drive would be providing the file sharing service. This would be typical of a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. If your WD Worldbook offers NAS services then it should be found by network clients per WD's instructions.
    When connected to the Extreme's USB port, the Extreme would take over the file server services. However, the drive must not be formatted in either NTFS or ExFAT as either are not recognizable by the Extreme for sharing out. My guess is this is the case and why the AirPort Utility cannot "find" the drive.
    If your WD Worldbook has an Ethernet interface that is the one you should use for best performance. It is still possible that this drive is using an IP address that is not in the default range of the Extreme.
    How can I reset the IP range on the router.  I have to use the iPad app to manage the router and I didn't see any way to change the range.  Did I miss something or would I need to use an Mac computer to get more options?
    You can change the IP address range of your AirPort using the AirPort Utility on your iPad.
    To change the range:
    Run the AirPort Utility.
    Select the AirPort Extreme, and then, select Edit.
    Select Advanced.
    Select DHCP Range.
    Select 192.168

  • Can multiple Airport Expresses be connected via ethernet to an Airport Extreme to extend a single WiFi Network?

    I am a big fan of both the Airport Extreme and Airport Express.  In my work environment, I need to create a good quality single wireless network around 2 large aircraft hangars and some offices at the perimeters.  We have a good quality wired Cat5e ethernet network extended between the buildings and offices now.  Is this possible and does it seem like a good practical solution?  I think that 4 or 5 Airport expresses would easily provide good wireless coverage in the needed areas. 

    Can multiple AirPort Expresses be connected via ethernet to an AirPort Extreme to extend a single WiFi Network?
    Yes, this will work just fine as long as any individual Ethernet cable run will not exceed much over 330 feet or about 100 meters.

  • Setting up my Airport Extreme to my Samsung series 8000 network

    I am having difficulty setting up my network using my airport Extreme to my new Samsung 8000 LED. I have tried many settings and the Samsung does not recognize any of them. It will not find the network in the "auto mode", and I'm not sure what to out into the manual setting if I switch to the manual mode on the LED. It ask for the following; IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and then under the title DNS, it ask for the DNS Server information. Where do I locate all of this and what do you think might be wrong? I appreciate any help anyone can offer at this time. Thanks

    Alex,
    I got it working! Try this exactly like this, it's a bit of a pain but it should fix the problem. The problem appears to be with Samsung's firmware which needs to be updated first before any wireless or wired configuration will work.
    - Hard wire the television with an ethernet cable (in front of the apple router) i.e. directly to your modem.
    - Once your hard wired. In the TV's menu go to network and choose AUTO configuration. I connected to the internet at this point. To check perform the 'Network test' through the TV's menu. This was the first time that I was successful in getting passed that pesky 'Gateway Ping' test, that always failed in all previous attempts.
    -Now that your connected to the internet go to the the last TV menu item, which is 'support' and select 'software upgrade'. Choose 'by online' and perform the update.
    -Now reconnect your Apple router in-line (restarting everything is not a bad idea at this point) the way you had everything before and you should be able to connect wirelessly and wired (out of one of the LAN ports) of the Apple router.
    Even though the wireless option worked when I had the TV in the same room as the Apple router. The signal wasn't strong enough for the USB Samsung Wireless Adapter at the location that the TV is going to live permanently. So I went to the trouble of snaking a CAT 5 wire from the router through the basement and up into the wall where the TV is mounted.
    Samsung tech support is completely useless, so don't even waste your time trying to get through!
    Good luck I hope this works!
    Let us know how you make out.

  • Airport Extreme b/g as dedicated print network?

    I have used an older AirPort Extreme b/g for some years now to print via USB with an ancient HP LaserJet 4ML printer. Thanks to iFelix's web site, I learned how to set up the USB printing using the HP Jet Direct-Socket setting in the Printer Setup Utility and the Airport Extreme's IP address. That worked very well.
    Now I've gone and ruined everything by purchasing a new wireless router, a Cisco WRT610N for its various capacities and speed. I intended to extend its network, but can't use WDS because the WRT and Airport Extreme cannot do that together (and the WRT doesn't do WDS out of the box anyway). Apparently I can't extend the Cisco network with the Airport Extreme.
    I searched on this and other forums and realized I could set up the Extreme to be a standalone print server (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12511872&#12511872). However, I can't configure the Extreme to "join a wireless network." My choices are only "create a network" or "participate in WDS." Creating a new network just for printing results in the error message from the print process: "The process "rastertoprinter" stopped unexpectedly with status 2."
    My setup: OS 10.4.11. A MacBook with intel core duo. An old PowerPC that has always been able to print (G5, running 10.4.11). Airport Extreme running firmware 5.6 (I'm scared to update to 5.7.) Airport Utility 5.4.2.
    Thank you for your wise responses,
    Sarah

    Although as I indicated in my original post I was not able before to print from a separate wireless network, now I am. I set up the network while the Airport Extreme was connected by Ethernet to both the MacBook and the Cisco router. I had restarted the computer, also. This time when looking to add the HP printer using Printer Setup Utility, it showed up as a Bonjour printer when I selected "Default Browser" as the connecting method.
    I did not try to print with the Airport connected to the Cisco only, without setting up a separate network, partly because the option of "connect to a wireless network" never comes up.
    I can now print wirelessly again--thank you. Yes, I do have to switch to a different wireless network to do so, and it's sometimes hard to remember to swith back so I can connect to the internet....

  • Tip: For those losing airport extreme connectivity after 2007 update

    After the most recent Airport Extreme update, I started losing my connection to previously working wireless networks. There was never an issue for the 6 months prior to this most recent update. Therefore the update changed something. Many of the posts regarding this subject steer the finger pointing away from Apple. All I know is that my wireless connectivty worked fine for the last six months and stopped working after the update. The following link from MacFixit.com worked for me: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070129234632441
    The MacFixit posting is as follows: "Success with .plist deletion A more innocuous workaround -- deleting potentially corrupt .plist files (as described in our Wireless troubleshooting tutorial) -- has been successful for others.
    One reader writes:
    "After applying the Airport Extreme Update 2007-001, my Airport Extreme was shutting down every time my Aluminum PowerBook G4 went to sleep. It was very frustrating, but I thought it might have been a "security feature" in the new update. Then I found your wireless troubleshooting tutorial and following directions in the "Delete specific .plist files" section did the trick.
    The files to be deleted are located in the ~/Library/Preferences/ directory (this is the Library directory within your User folder), and are as follows:"
    com.apple.internetconfig.plist
    com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist
    com.apple.internetconnect.plist
    After deleting these .plist files I have had stable connectivity again with no issues. The update apparently corrupted one or all of these files. I would try deleting them and then restart your computer. As noted, it is an easy fix and does not hurt anything to try...I hope it helps others looking for answers on this subject. Don

    I too have run into the same problem as ‘controls.freq’ although sometimes the light just stays amber (like controls.freq’s documented post) and other times it stays solid green after clicking "Update." No matter, the result is the same -- I have to perform a hard reset (pull the plug) of the Airport Extreme and none of my changes have been made. I not only run into this when trying to add static DHCP addresses (like controls.freq), but also when trying to add MAC addresses to timed access control lists, or (when playing around) trying to change my wireless network name .... honestly, it probably fails for many other changes too.
    So I tried what Bob suggested -- but no luck. A lot of effort but no reward. I tried loading 7.4 firmware (tried both 7.4.2 and 7.4.1 which ran more reliably in my environment) and then doing the factory reset, then upgrading to 7.5.2 and setting everything up. But after maybe one successful save of settings, all subsequent saves failed as described earlier. Then I tried a factory reset while running 7.5.2 and ran into the same problem after maybe the first successful save.
    The only reliable workaround is to DOWNGRADE to 7.4.x, make the necessary changes, and then upgrade again to 7.5.2. I must say ... if there were some way I could get the system to stop offering new code reliably (that doesn’t even work even when I tell it I don’t want to check for updates), then I’d just stay with 7.4.1 throughout the environment with success.

  • Can't see Airport Extreme after Snow Leopard Update

    I'm running 10.6.2 with every update, and while I have no trouble connecting to my wifi network on the Airport Extreme (about 2 years old), I can't see it in the Airport Utility program (5.4.2) in order to administrate the hardware. I can see the Express that is also joined to the network set up on the Extreme and administrate that device fine.
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    -c

    Welcome to the discussions!
    I think you meant to say that you can't "see" an AirPort Express. (The AirPort Extreme has no audio jacks to connect to a stereo system).
    Try temporarily connecting an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express (AX) and open AirPort Utility to see if that helps locate the AX so you can check the configuration settings on the device. Once you have it adjusted and updated, you can disconnect the ethernet cable.
    If the ethernet hookup is not successful after a few tries, you will need to reset the AX back to factory defaults and then reconfigure it again. To do this:
    Power down the AirPort Express for a few moments
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug the AX back in to power
    Release the reset button after 8-10 seconds
    If you want to use wireless to reconfigure the AX, AirPort Utility should "see" it when you open the application. If no luck that way, then try the ethernet cable method.

  • Airport Extreme setup problems on existing WDS network - Please help!

    I just bought a Time Capsule and have setup a WDS network for the house. The Airport Express joins the network just fine as a remote WDS device. I cannot get the Airport Extreme (v5.7) to join the same network. It just continues to make a *separate network with the same name* despite the Channel being the same, the WDS being set to remote, and the main ID of the Time Capsule has been put in correctly. In other words, since I setup the airport Express correctly, I cannot figure out for the life of me why the Airport Extreme is not joining correctly.
    PLEASE HELP. I've been trying this for 6 hours now and countless total restarts by hard resets of all the equipment.

    Hello arthung. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Let's double-check your WDS setup ...
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS.)
    o Perform a "hard" reset on the Time Capsule (TC) and a "hard" reset on the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
    Main Base Station Setup - TC
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the TC.
    o Open AirPort Utility.
    o Select the TC, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base
    Station menu.
    o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
    o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the AX.
    o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
    Remote Base Station Setup - AEBS
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the AX.
    o Open AirPort Utility.
    o Select the AX, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
    o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

  • Airport Extreme card does not see any networks...help!

    I have a home network that is working fine - 2 linksys routers with WDS set up... it all works great - an Ibook g4 running 10.3 and has an Airport Extreme card connects flawlessly everyday. As does an old G4 powerbook with an old airport card.
    however, I have this dual g4 with 10.4.3 running, and a recently-installed airport extreme card.
    When I turn airport "on" it never sees our network. And it doesn't see my neighbors' networks, either, which are also always visible.
    I can, howevr, connect via ethernet to the router that is somewhat nearby. that networking is fine...I can get on wired, but not wirelessly.
    I've installed the 2005-1 update, and have run Software Update as well to see if there are any other patches/updates necesary. so as far as I can tell, I am up to date.

    Go back and recheck the Airport Extreme card installation. Make sure you plugged the connector for the internal Airport antenna into its socket on the Airport Extreme card itself - and make sure the plug is fully seated into its socket (none of the metal sleave should be showing).

  • Airport Extreme unable to connect to WPA network

    I have an iBook G4 running OS 10.3.9 and a Netgear WGT624v3 wireless router. The iBook connects well with the Netgear router using WEP encryption but using WPA Personal security I get a message that says "the wireless network does not support the requested encryption method."
    The netgear technical support people advised me that it is a configuration issue and to contact Apple to make it work properly but the only information I found there was to update the airport card firmware.
    I updated the firmware for the AirPort Extreme card to 3.90.34.0p.16 from the Apple website but that didn't solve the problem.
    In addition I have a HP Photosmart wireless all-in-one where I experience the same problem.
    If there are any suggestions, I would be forever grateful.

    Don,
    Thank you for your reply. The article on WEP encryption is very interesting and I will use it when I use WEP.
    The article on WPA indicates that an airport extreme card with software version 3.2 or higher should work. I think I have version 4.2 which came from the AirPortSW42.dmg which I obtained from the Apple website. So I am confused because it still doesn't allow me to connect using WPA.

  • Extending network with Airport Express and Airport Extreme (latest models) causes chaos on network

    Today I upgraded from my several year old Airport Extreme (3rd gen) and 2nd gen Airport Express to a new (what you'd buy on the shelf today) Airport Extreme and Airport Express.  All airports are updated with the latest firmware and I'm using windows 7 for configuration.
    The intention is to use the Airport Extreme as the main router, also serving wifi. And extend the network using the express. As such, the following has been done:
    The Airport Extreme is configured for automatic channel, and automatic radio mode. I tried to select 802.11n 5 ghz and 802.11 n 2.4 ghz only, but it won't take the changes. Additionally, it wont' accept me using only channel 6. Not sure why, but I digress. The airport extreme is not set to broadcast a separate name for the 5ghz network.
    The Airport Express is configured to use bridge mode, use an existing wireless network and is connected to my network on it's WAN port (the circle icon on the back) with ethernet. The password and wireless name used in configuration is the same as created initially on the Airport Extreme.
    Initially I did the configuration of both airports on my computer, connected by ethernet to ensure stable connectivity while I inputted settings. During this, they appeared to accept the changes fine. However, when I moved the airport express to it's destination (other side of my house), the entire network went crazy.
    Internet became slow, and often wouldn't load pages. This was on wired and wireless connections. When I attempted to administer the Airport in the Utility, they would not load, an error would occur. Also, at one point the Airport Extreme had renamed it self with a (2) at the end. Which was super odd. So far, the only solution has been to unplug the Airport Express and attempt to devise a solution.
    Anyone have any ideas? Of course, I will continue to tinker with this, but it seems realllly strange. The previous setup was also extended (granted, using wireless only, not ethernet > wireless) and worked fine, granted it was a smidge slow, but it worked.

    I wanted to add this.. I followed the guide here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260 to extend using ethernet, and the above is the result.
    I just tried re configuring in OS X Mavericks and got the same, odd, result.
