Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi Base Station  and Connecting to VPN Client

I am networked beautifully with my new Airport Extreme Base Station and get out to the Internet in seconds. However, when I try to connect remotely to my company's VPN Client, I am unsuccessful in logging on to the Company's network. The error message I get is that the VPN Client has timed out. Then I am given the opportunity to attempt to logon to a second server. I am unsuccessful with the alternative server as well. I have worked with my company's tech support and after quite a bit of troubleshooting, I was told that it is a port configuration problem on the Airport Extreme Base Station. Has anyone else experienced this problem and been able to resolve this issue? What did you do? Help--I don't want to go back to my Netgear network. The Airport Extreme is so extremely faster--I can't go back!

I have their ip address and it does not appear to be the problem. I did speak to apple support and was told to get the port numbers of the vpn and enter those along with the mac address of the one laptop I needed to communicate with the vpn Nortel Client. No success with that. So, I tried tieing that one laptop to the network with the router that worked fine with being recognized by Nortel while I continued to select the apple network for my 3 other macs. I was finally able (with extreme) get to my upstairs and connect to the net on all of the macs but now I lost connectivity with even the net on the netgear router. So, I continue--not wanting to have to go back to the basement to work on the pc laptop. Thanks for your reply.

  • HT5022 How do I change my "password" for using an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi base station?

    My Kindle Fire asked for a password for my Airport Extreme 802.11 Wi-Fi. The password used on other devices using the Airport Extreme does not seem to work and Apple Support is not willing to help unless a service charge is made. How do I change my password or find out what the password is?

    I am assuming that you are referring to the AirPort's wireless security password and not its base station Administrator's password ... correct?
    If so, there are number of methods of resetting a password if you don't remember what it is. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for additional details.

  • Since latest update to airport extreme im getting 10 unknown base station and time capsule items showing in airport utility as a network.  when able to "forget" them they initially drop off but soon return. how do i get them deleted and stay that way

    since latest update to airport extreme im getting 10 unknown base stations and time caps showing up as though they are a part of my network. sometimes i can "forget" them and they will disappear initially but soon return. i need and want only my connection inside my home . any ideas. i have done a factory reset and set up a new network but they continue to show up.

    I'm not convinced that the problem lies in Airport Utility. This same thing was happening to me, nearly exactly as you describe it. The thing is that with me, the problems clearly started when I updated the firmware in my Airport Express (n). That's when all the wacky stuff started happening. Sometimes it would show up in AU, sometimes it didn't and even if it didn't, I could still access the internet through it.
    But as you said, the problems got really bad when another Express (b/g) was put on the network with it. Even when it did work, the (b/g) would make it impossibly slow.
    You know more about this than me, and clearly have more patience if you've restarted the network fifty times. I gave up at about ten.
    In any case, your solution is more of a work around and if you're still having that slow connection problem, I'm not sure you've got it. But thanks for your reporting of this. At least I know I'm not crazy.

    I'm not sure how to post a message. I hope this might interest someone. The situation; 3 floors,I am having trouble with an an Airport Extreme, 802.11n on the top floor and a Mac Pro 3.1 on the bottom floor. Not always but often it has trouble seeing the Airport and making a connection. I have an older Airport Express, would it help to install it? would it work best if it was installed in the same room? should it be installed half way in between? Get another Extreme? The Mac Book Pro on the middle floor can see 11 networks in the neighbourhood if that might be causing a problem or would if I installed the Express. Thank for your consideration.   

    Thanks for your time ... I appologize for the font and colour, I compossed the question in pages and failed to notice the font colour as grey ... there are a variety of computers of various ages so I think it is using a setting that allows both 5G and 2.4 ... the connection to the Airport is thru a cable modem and cable does run throuhout the house ... maybe those hard wires would be a place to look at ... do you think that putting the 'Express' on the second floor might help ... thanks again ...

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n as a wireless router and local network switch?

    Good afternoon,
    I'm curious if its possible to have the APE in wireless network mode and connect systems via hard line as well?
    I have an AirPort Extreme 802.11n set to "Create a Wireless Network" mode that is attached directly to a cable modem for internet connectevity. My issue is that while all wireless devices (several iPods, two iPhones and three laptop computers) connect to the APE without issue (and have internet access), when I try to plug in a Windows 7 desktop computer via one of the ethernet jacks, Windows is unable to connect and shows the network as "unidentified," spitting back a private IP address as opposed to a local LAN (this behavior repeats for an Ubuntu Linux box as well).
    Not sure if the APE is misconfigured, this is a Windows 7 issue or if its improper use on my part (though this also precludes me from connecting a gigabit switch to the APE).
    Thank you,
    Nathan

    Properly configured, the AirPort should provide both wired and wireless network client with Internet access.
    At this point, I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • SERIOUSLY slow USB hard drive on the new Airport Extreme 802.11n

    I have recently bought the new airport etreme 802.11n. Great little device, look wonderful on the office desk. I had some troubles getting it up and running on my machine but finaly got there in the end.
    The USB hard drive is a great little addition that I was very excited about, untill I got it running. It is amazingly slow, for example I tried to copy a folder that contained 15 files which amounted to 135.6mb and it took 20 mins and 24 seconds to upload!
    Is this just the speed that it should be uploading or is there somehting wrong with my settings.
    I'm running on 3 bars of signal and the settings I'm using are:
    connect with password (which is the same as the base stations password)
    Automatically discover disks
    Show in menu bar
    If anyone knows the technical data for the transfer speeds and can confirm my queries I'd really appreciate it!
    Thanks in advance

    Does your drive meet these requirements?:
    You can connect USB-based storage devices to an AirPort Extreme (802.11n). Learn which formats and protocols are supported.
    The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) supports USB storage devices that have a block size of 512 bytes, and are formatted as Mac OS Extended (HFS-plus), FAT16, or FAT32. Not all USB storage devices use a block size of 512 bytes.
    The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) shares storage devices based on the format used to initialize the storage device. For example, if HFS-plus formatting was used, AFP and SMB/CIFS protocols are used to share the device on the network. If FAT16 or FAT32 was used, SMB/CIFS protocols are used.
    The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) works with disks that have a single partition and are not RAID volumes (no more than one volume per physical disk).
    Note: Use AirPort Disk Utility to discover and mount AirPort Extreme-based volumes over the network.

  • Extending the range of Airport Extreme 802.11n

    I have 2 Airport Extremes 802.11n. One of the is connected to a DSL modem and it works fine. I have been trying to use the other one to extend the network, but have not been successful.
    I used the exact steps in the manual (Designing Airport Network) published by Apple. The steps I used (several times) were under "Extending the Range of an 802.11n Network".
    Whenever I compete the steps and update the base station, the one that I want to use as the extension (not connected to the internet) disappears from the Airport Utility Application and the base station blinks the orange light. I did reset the base station and tried the guide several times but no success.
    I am doing something wrong or this manual is not complete. Any help from you guys will be most appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem. I didn't have this issue with the 802.11g version. Are you using the base station in "bridge" mode? Because when I used the "n" basestation in DHCP/NAT mode, it worked fine. Unfortunately, I needed to change to bridge mode for reliability issues with my service provider.
    Now I have the same issue as you.

  • AirPort Extreme (802.11n) dual band is reporting problems?

    Hi.
    I can not find an answer for my error-problem:
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) dual band is reporting problems!
    I have an optimum on line cable modem connected to my AirPort Extreme (802.11n) dual band.
    Ethernet cables connect it 1. into my new Nehalem Mac Pro, 2. into my back-up Quicksilver PowerMac. I also have 2nd gen. iPod touch works on WiFi.
    This set-up has been working well but now I daily get the above error. Sometimes it says also: You have different locations set-up and it asks me to go through the set-up procedure. May be I did the initial set-up incorrect. I don't quite understand "locations" and it's purpose.
    Also the Airport runs very hot so I put a small fan in front of it. A few times I had to disconnect the cable mains to reset and get back my service. Please help.

    Can you tell what's telling you about those locations? An Apple AirPort unit can maintain different "configurations" so that it could be used in different locations without a complete reconfiguration. However, I don't believe they're ever referred to as "locations". On the other hand, a Mac can have multiple "locations" defined in the Network panel of System Preferences. Those can be useful if the Mac is used in different places with different arrangements.
    If your AirPort Extreme is having problems the status light on the front will probably be amber. If you launch AirPort Utility and double-click on the AirPort Extreme item on the left, you should be able to see more details about the problem.

  • How to install AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler?

    I just bought the Airport Extreme and I have the CD that came with it loaded. I'm installing the package that is on the CD and it reads that the following items are available for installation and one of them is the Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler. I "continue" and it only allows me to do a basic upgrade. How do I know that the Enabler was correctly installed and I can now access using 802.11n?
    I have a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33Ghz

    Steve, fire up your Network Utility. You can find it in your Utilities folder. From the row of tabs across the top of the window select "Info" - the first option on the left. Nxt select the "network interface for information". You'll be wanting "(en1)". At the bottom of the info you'll see an entry for "Model Wireless Network Adapter". In parenthesis under this title will be "802.11" and some letters. If you see a letter "n" then it means the enabler did its thang!
    To actually select how your computer will communicate with that little white box with the green light on the front (um...it is green, isn't it?) then fire up your Airport Utility. Select "Manual" setup. Make sure you have the Airport icon highlighted at the top of the window then select the "Wireless" tab. The "Radio Mode" entry is where you do your bit to select "g", "n" or whatever in 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
    I find it best to do one thing at a time. Slower but at least I can undo the mess easily.

    You can use the 2 TB Time Capsule as a network drive. That means that it must connect to one of the Ethernet LAN <--> ports on the new AirPort Extreme, or connect to the network using wireless.

  • Is my AirPort Extreme (802.11n) Base Station defective?

    I'm trying to set up a wireless network with my new AirPort Extreme (802.11n) Base Station. I dismanteld my existing network that consisted of an old model AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express. I can't seem to get anything to work properly with the new hardware. I have a G4 Quicksilver that uses an AirPort card. Is that the issue? I thought they were compatible. I was not able to update the Setup Utility because I don't have an Intel Mac. Still, that shouldn't prevent me from doing an initial setup. I'm thinking perhaps the unit is defective. I've been working on this several hours a day for almost a week. This is the most trouble (by far) that I've ever had with any Apple product. I'm really disappointed. I suspect the hardware is defective, but based on all of the issues I've read about in this forum, I think it could just be reflective of the poor overall quality of the new AirPort Extreme. What a let down.

    What is the exact name of the application you are using to configure the airport?
    You should be using "AirPort Utility"
    It is a Universal application, so it should work on both a PPC and Intel mac.
    As for the update, if you can't download it via software update, you most likely do not need it.
    The quicksilver only has an Airport card:
    http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/PowerMac_G4_Quicksilver2002.html
    That means that you will need to configure the airport extreme N to operate in the 2.4 GHz range. You will need to tell it that it needs to be compatible with 802.11b
    There is probably an option for 802.11 b/g/n compatibility.
    Are you going to still use your airport express? you could either use WDS to extend your wireless network without connecting the two airport base stations with an ethernet cable... or you could connect them together with an ethernet cable and configure the same network name and use two different channels (only use 1, 6, or 11). If you extend a network, they both need to use the same channel.
    If the quicksilver is the only machine on your network, it will not be any faster.
    Actually, you could make things faster, now that I think about it... I am guessing that your quicksilver is not located near your airport extreme. If I am wrong, just ignore this...
    You could use one of your airports as your main base station, connected to your cable modem/dsl whatever... then you connect the other airports ethernet to your quicksilver. you then turn off the airport card in your quicksilver and set up the airport connected to your computer to use WDS and connect to the other airport using 802.11g.
    You now have gone from an 11 mbps max (5 mbps real world) connection to a real world 30-40 mbps link.
    Other options would be to look for 802.11g or 802.11n usb adapters for the quicksilver... I am not sure what is mac compatible out there, since it is probably a small market since it is built in to all new macs.
    Good luck

    I am using it on my iMac which is connected directly via a ethernet cable instead of wifi to the Airport Extreme 802.11n Base Station.
    RealPlayer can play it fine when I plug my iMac directly to the cable modem so it proves is the router. I never had RealPlayer issues before when I was using a linksys router.
    It does really feel like Apple put an intentional block on RealPlayer to stop competition.
    Anyone seen this issue? Guess it is related with the BBC RealPlayer issue.

    Fixed myself, problem was because I setup OpenDNS on base station, removed it now works

  • New Base Airport Extreme 802.11n .....bugs

    Well,
    I have just read tens of posts in many forums, included this one.
    It seems that the Base Airport Extreme 802.11n has severe problems of connections to internet.
    That's is also my case.
    This is my config.
    1. Modem NetGear DM111P <--> WAN Base Airport Extreme 802.11n
    2. LAN Base Airport Extreme 802.1n <--> Ethernet iMac 24"
    3. LAN iMac as DHCP auto IP
    4. Base Airport set for PPPoE
    There is no way to get into Internet.
    If I connect the Modem DM111P directly to the iMac 24" LAN the Internet is on, fast, fluid.
    With the Airport in betwwen....no way...
    Any help ?
    I am seriously thinking Apple has distributed a product full of bugs.
    Read other forums with same problem.

    James,
    Confirmed: the NetGear <--> AEBS <--> iMac does not work.
    I have set the Bridge Mode as you suggest, but nothing, no internet !
    Othe 3 hours of tests in setting tens of conigurations. No one works.
    All the leds of the NetGear Modem as the one in the AEBS are solid green.
    I will return back the NetGear modem to the retailer.
    I am now running with my old Pirelli Modem from Alice Service (Telecom Italia Net) that - even if slower - at least it works.
    I am concluding that the Airport Extreme has seriuos problems of compatibility with the open market modems.
    Apple should check the SW+HW before selling such difficult items as the the Airport Extreme base.
    Just a question: which model/type of modem(s) is(are) effectively compatible with the AEBS ?
    If the retailer will permit me this, I will replace the NetGear (a very good modem...what a pity) with a compatible one with this strange base.
    Thaks for your help.

  • Not able to see disk connected to AirPort Extreme 802.11n

    I just installed my AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wireless Base station. Wireless internet works like a charm, however, I cannot see my external hard disk when it is connected to the base station (amber light blinking and when checking the problem, I am told that "Disk needs repair"). When connecting the hard disk directly to the PC, I have no problem seeing the data. Any tips or tricks out there... ?
    AirPort Extreme 802.11n   Windows XP  

    I finally got my 500 GB Western Digital MyBook USB drive to work by reformatting it to HFS+ format.
    Of course, before I could do that, I had to copy all my files onto another hard drive. That job took a day to accomplish.
    I work with Poser, and have a lot of content installed... We're talking thousands of files.
    Once the drive was reformatted to HFS+ format, I copied everything back over. That took another day. Then I connected to the AEBS.
    The USB drive was immediately recognized. It was incredibly easy to access the USB drive on my PCs. It required no effort on my part, except to supply the password.
    In the end, I've decided this effort is a failure.
    The drive is way too slow for my needs. Also, one of my vital Poser utilities (CorrectReference Pro) will not work properly with the USB drive on the AEBS.
    I am currently in the process of copying all those files over to two external USB hard drives attached to my other PC.
    Then I plan to unmount my 500 GB MyBook drive, and reformat it back to NTFS. I'll let the Notebook PC have it on a direct connection again.
    I have a couple "junk" External Hard drives that are 160 GB. Maybe I'll use one of those as an Airport disk...
    But I won't be using the Airport disk for anything important. It's too slow.
