Airport Extreme 7.6.1 WiFi just stopped working, HELP!

Hi all,
not sure what is going on, but my Airport Extreme running 7.6.1 just stopped working over wifi. My desktop PC is wired to the Airport and it is running fine on the internet. My iOS devices, however (iPhone 4 and iPad 1) just won't work over wifi. My wife's blackberry is also not working over wifi.
I am running AirPort utility on the iPad and it can find and manage the AirPort base, but it says internet is not working (orange dot) which is not true, as I am typing this post on the PC wired to the AirPort.
I have tried to reload the AP to no avail. Have also tried to reload the iOS devices, to no avail.
What should I do? Seems like the bridge connection between the wifi network and the Ethernet port just died.
On a side note, 7.6.1 seems to be very unstable, my PS3 connection drops constantly, which never happened before. Can you point me to a more stable release?
Persio

Try restoring the factory settings of the AirPort Express and delete all profiles
you have set:
1 Unplug the AirPort Express.
2 With the tip of a straightened paper clip to hold the reset button while
plug the AirPort Express.
Wait until the status light stops blinking and then restart the base station.

That's nice. Hopefully you'll have some mathematical problems for which to use your calculator.
Meantime, did you have a support issue?

Airport Extreme Card just stopped working -help!!

I've had my MacBook Pro since mid August with a built Airport Extreme Card. It has for most of the time been working fine with my Netgear router. Yesterday it just stopped working. The black bars aren't showing on the aiport, it keeps refusing to accept the WEP password.
I have tried switching the airport on and off, and have also switched off the router and re started it, all to no avail. The WEP password is correct.
I have a WIFI printer connection and the airport will not connect to that either.
This has happened once before about 6 weeks ago but I can't remember what I did, if anything, to remedy the situation.
I have 3 other laptops all working perfectly well on the system, and all printing from the printer without any problems.
Any suggestions before I and the laptop go hurtling through the first floor window?

Try resetting your MBP's PRAM ...
Reset the PRAM
o Shut down the computer.
o Turn on the computer.
o Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
o Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
o Release the keys.

Wifi just stopped working...

After updating to IOS 5, my wifi, only at work so far has stopped working. My laptop WILL connect to the network as well as others iPads, iPods, etc. I can connect with my iPad at home on my wireless with no problems.
Here's what I've tried so far.
1. Resetting
2. Powering down and restarting
3. Resetting networks
4. All settings under Safari and wifi and general.
When I was able to connect at work I would get a pop up that says click to connect. Now I don't get that pop up. I have turned off the pop up blocker in the settings. One of the IT people here, while I was on the phone connected with her iPhone, but I still cannot connect.
It's almost as if the pop up blocker isn't functioning right. I still don't get pop ups and hence I can't log in. I tried to find a place to email Apple and mention this, but it's impossible to find an email (at least for me anyways).
Thanks.
Paul

Hello bluemonarc98,
There are several possibilities here.
1. Are you using any kind of carrying case? A carrying case with a magnetic clip? If so, that may be a factor -- in some cases it may take a couple of days for the effects of a magnetic field to fade and normal function to return.
2. You can try resetting Network Settings on the iPod Touch via Settings > General > Reset.
3. Check to see if your WiFi hardware is being properly recognized on the iPod Touch via Settings > General > About -- the WiFi information should show a series of 6 pairs of letters/numbers separted by colons. If the WiFi is not showing the proper information, you may need to backup and restore the iPod Touch per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
4. If the reset and restore do not resolve, you may need to arrange for service.

5 ghz just stopped working - help

I've been running my original 1 TB Time Capsule connected to my cable modem in n only 5ghz for months.
I have Airport Extreme connected in another room connected to a couple of HP printers so we can print wirelessly.
And lastly an original Airport Express connected to the Time Capsule via ethernet cable to have g available for our iPhones.
All has been working flawlessly for months.
Today I closed my MacBook Pro and went out. Hours later I came back and opened my computer and it didn't seen the Time Capsule n. It wasn't even showing up in my Airport Menu. I could see the Airport Express g fine. And could connect and surf the web fine. But the Time Capsule was nonexistent as far as my computer was concerned.
So I restarted everything. Nothing. So I did a soft reset of the TC. Nothing. So I did a hard reset and reconfigured. Nothing.
So out of the only left to do was to set the TC in n only mode at 2.4 ghz. And my MacBook Pro sees the TC fine in 2.4 ghz. But in 5 ghz the TC is invisible. Even though this has been working fine and fast for many months.
Any ideas? Why 5 ghz only would not work? Why 2.4 n only works?
I'm at a loss. Could the 5ghz band "break"? But 2.4 ghz be fine?
Thanks.

My original time capsules 5GHz radio died about a month ago. It was out of warranty, so I'm using my airport express for the 5GHz band.
I don't think the radios in the TC are very good.

My wifi just stopped working... help please.

I've got a Macbook and starting this afternoon, I cannot join my home network using the wireless. It shows my network in the Airport menu, but when I try to join it, it says, "connection timeout". I've power-cycled the Motorola router -it says everything's fine. I've restarted the Macbook twice using safe-boot, restarting, then rebuilding permissions. Still nothing. Did my Airport card go kaput?
I'm connected right now using an ethernet cable. What else can I check to see if the card is bad or if something is just messed up in the prefs? How can I get connected once again using wireless?
Thanks in advance.

Well, i figured it out. Wifi still wasn't connecting until I turned on my PS3. I recently made that a wired connection to reduce latency for online gaming. For whatever reason, once the PS3 connected, then I was able to take the Macbook online wirelessly.
I have no idea why, but it worked -so if it happens again, that's my fix.
Thanks for the input, William.

My wifi just stops working on ipad.

To fix it i have to turn wifi off and on and it is anoying especialy when watching videos online. Any help?

Try these simple things ...
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Also try rebooting your router - unplug it from the pwer for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

My command z key just stopped working -HELP

Please help. I was working in InDesign CC and hit the Command z key. Everything froze. I had to restart and now command z doesn't work.

Just noticed my iMAC finder preferences are not working as well.
Does it sound like a MAC or Adobe issue?
I am not an IT person, just a simple designer. It takes me forever to get my preferences set. I have just started using my iMAC and Adobe CC since purchasing Dec. 2013. Looks like I should have stayed with good ole CS3.

Airport just stopped working

Hi Everyone,
I hopw someone has some info that might help.
I have a MacBook and PC (yuck). Both just stopped working with my Airport Extreme, and when I tried plugging the ethernet cable directly into both, nothing happened. No data was transferring.
I called my cable company and they were able to get my PC working, directly connected, but not the MacBook.
When the ethernet cable is plugged directly into the MacBook, nothing happens...no lights showing it's connected to the computer. When I connect the ethernet cable to the Airport, everything lights up, showing a connection, but I can't get the data to transfer from Airport to MacBook (or PC for that matter).
Right now, I'm hijacking someone else's wireless signal in my condo...don't really know who. So, I know my Airport card is working properly.
The tech at Brighthouse cable saod something about earthlink customers having trouble recently because of something that earthlink downloaded to them, where IP addresses wouldn't renew. I never downloaded anything, is this possible?
I'm really stumped, and frustrated because I can't connect, and it's not feasible for me to hardwire in due to the location of my cable modem. Plus, that only works with the crappy PC, and I don't want to use that.
Please, someone help...I'm desperate...and at a loss for what the problem could be!
Thank you!!!!
EDIT: I just powered up my old iBook G4, and it won't connect to my base station either
EDIT X2: I should probably add what I have already tried...I have (several times) unplugged the cable modem and Airport base station. Used Airport set up to re-set it (again, several times).

Ok MCOJerry,
Here's the scoop.
My friend called and gave me the story much like you described. Almost identical in fact.
He had called TimeWarner, who didn't come to any resolution and then referred him to Earthlink, washing their hands in the process.
A over seas tech support then spend a couple of hours, then made a call back with another tech. who also spent significant time on the phone. This time the tech reconfigured OSX a couple of times. Set up alternate location profiles, changed the DNS settings etc.
They re-assigned the IP address and forced the cable modem to init. the MAC address list. They also disconnected the Airport Extreme (the square version) connected the mac directly to the modem and forced a manual set of IP settings.
They got the mac to work with this last configuration, but of course the rest of the machines were out of luck as was the network printer.
All in all he spent six hours on the phone.
When I got 'the call' I had him give me some preliminary network stats and then had him reconnect the Airport Extreme. This yielded a dead internet connection.
So as I wrote earlier, I went over there armed with a boat load of tools & cables.
I reconfigured the mac to a normal & stable automatic type configuration. I also reset the the Airport buy pressing the reset button for 5sec. Then set up a new configuration. I made sure that the latest update was applied to the Airport extreme.
Then I logged on to the cable modem. Don't mis-understand, I did not log on to the internet through the modem. I logged on to the modem's internal web server. checked some logs and ran a couple of tests.
Then I found the problem. The real problem: The signal power level from the point of demarcation (at the pole) was so low as to be useless. Eliminating the Airport Extreme, simply removed a level of complication in the system. It also may have removed some spurious RF that may have been introduced into the network. It did not result in a resolution to the real problem.
The cable line needs to be physically repaired. Either a wet connection or a frayed shield or the line needs a booster. But the problem, which looked like a Airport extreme issue is in fact a bad cable line.
I do have him up and running on the Airport Extreme at this moment by eliminating all extraneous length from his cable line within the house. The cable modem is now located in the basement where the cable enters the house. I have an single ethernet cable running from there to the Airport Extreme. I pulled all the other electrical items from this particular power line branch (This specific circuit.) This is all temporary until the cable guy/gal arrives to fix the problem.
I hope this may help you in your trouble resolution.
