Airport Extreme 802.11n with Nortel VPN client

Hello,
Has anyone had any experience using the Airport Extreme 802.11n) with a PC (sorry, I have both a PC and a Mac)running the Nortel VPN client?
The new router works perfectly with the Mac but I also need to use the VPN on the PC for certain functions in my work. On my previous router (Dlink DIR625), I had to set a dedicated virtual tunnel to port 9550 to solve this issue. I think this might still be true for the Airport Extreme but I don't see how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had the same problem and an apple apple care tech walked me through it yeterday.
Call them, they were great.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n (with gigabit ports) locks up when using 802.11g

    About a minute after I connect my 802.11g IBM X60 laptop to the wireless network, the AirPort Extreme with 7.2.1 firmware locks up. The light stays green, but all machines (including an 802.11n MacBook) loose wireless connectivity. It's extremely annoying and makes the base station unusable. I have to physically disconnect it from the wall and plug it back in for it to work again.
    Has anyone found a fix for this?
    It works fine when a single 802.11n Macbook is connected.

    Changing it to 5Mhz didn't help. I unplugged my external HD from the router. Want to try to figure out what made it start locking up because it didn't do it when I got it two weeks ago, just started yesterday.
    But I might be going to a mall where an apple store is, might just have them swap it out. It's hard to prove this type of thing, unless it's a known problem and they take your word for it.

  • Airport Extreme (802.11n) with Airport Express/Extreme (802.11g/b) ?

    If the 802.11n airport extreme is the main router, and used in conjunction with older airport extreme/express (single antenna); what will happen?
    Will the network drop to the 802.11g speeds?
    Will the benefits of MIMO be lost?

    According to this Macworld.com article:Once you add 802.11g or 802.11b devices to the network, the performance of the entire network will be affected; it won’t be reduced all the way down to the slower performance of the respective older standards, but performance won’t be as fast as a single-standard network. (And 802.11b devices will affect performance to a greater extent than 802.11g devices will.)

  • Using Airport Extreme (802.11n) with Netgear Wireless Modem Router

    I have a quick question, can I use the Airport Extreme in a wireless modem router?(http://www.netgear.co.uk/wirelessadslrouterdg834g.php)
    By plugging the Airport into the Netgear router would I be able to by pass and run a network this way. I have a 802.11n enabled MacBook and Apple TV, the Netgear is the weakest link!!!
    Many thanks.

    neptune2000's post was implying that you connect the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to the Netgear.
    The AEBS does NOT contain a modem. Therefore you will need a modem, either the Netgear or another.

  • Setting up airport express with airport extreme 802.11n with Airport Utilit

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble setting up my airport express(AX). Having recently bought the new Airport Extreme (AE) basestation, I can't figger out how to set it up to recognize the AX and allow me to stream airtunes. Previously I had the AX setup fine, but once I installed the AE, it no longer was recognized.
    After resetting the AX, the airport Utility recognizes the AE and the AX as basestations, but I don't want to have to switch back and forth from wireless networks everytime I want to listen to music in another room. Airport Admin seemed to have been wiped out when I installed the AE, so any documents I've found on the Apple site refer to AA and not Airport Utility.
    HAs anyone set up their AX on the new AE basestation?
    thanks!
    Rene

    I am currently experiencing the same issue, except that I cannot for the life of me get the AX to:
    1) Stop flashing yellow - numerous resets -soft to default.
    2) The airport utility will not recognize it.
    The airport utility sees the AE no problem, I got that up and running after a few restarts and am now able to log on to the network with my laptop.
    I am new to Mac's and this is the 1st time I have tried to set up a network with one, I was excited about being able to use the AX to play my iTunes through the stereo in the other room and to hopefully use it to connect my X-Box to the internet. But I am starting to think that this is either above my skills or a fruitless endeavor. Any help would be most appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n with OS X v.10.3

    Bought an Airport Extreme to boost the signal for 2 laptops on a wireless home network. However, I can't configure the airport because it's hooked up to an eMac that runs OS X v10.3 and according to documentation I need to have at least 10.4. Is there anyway to get around this?

    Thanks so much, Duane, for your help. I've got the eMac linked up to the Qwest router and the Airport Extreme configured using my powerbook. however, my powerbook jumps between the router and the airport. Sometimes when the connection is a little less strong I go up to the internet connect icon and find that the powerbook is using the router. I click on the airport name, it asks me for permission to use the keychain, I click "Use always" and then it connects me through the airport. Why does it keep popping onto the router?
    Also, is there a way to configure the eMac to use the new airport even though it's running older software? That way I could plug the printer that's currently connected to the eMac into the airport and print wireless with my powerbook (this works great now except that I can't print from the eMac unless the printer is plugged directly into the eMac's USB port).
    thanks again.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n with XP and Utorrent or Azareus

    I am very happy with my new router. I not get a strong signal in the garden and can extend further with my Airport Express if I so wish although I am using it for Itunes.
    My problem is how to open ports (port forwarding or port mapping). Can anyone tell me how to do this. I am getting very slow download speeds.
    Failing this
    How do you place a wired pc in DMZ?
    Pleeeease help, I do not want to go back to my crappy Belkin again (but I did get lightening speeds with it, just a very bad range.
    Thanks

    Git my question answered by an Apple support person. Easy when you know how.

  • Setting up Time Capsule with existing AirPort Extreme 802.11n and AirPort Express.

    I already have and am using an AirPort Extreme 802.11n with an AirPort Express. I want to set up a Time Capsule 802.11n. Which is the best way to configure this?

    ... Which is the best way to configure this?
    The answer depends on what you need the TC to accomplish. If all you need it to do is perform Time Machine backups, simply have it join your existing network in client mode. It would be if it were to connect to your existing router (presumably your Extreme), not through an "extended" wireless network (presumably your Express).
    If you need the TC to "extend" your network so as to serve additional wireless clients, you can do that also. Configure it to "extend" the network created by your Extreme.
    As you can see it's quite versatile.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n sharing a disk with a -1 on the mount point

    First I have to reboot the device once a day because of the disk that disconnect for no reason like many other on the list ever since I upgraded to 7.2.1 but not sure that as to do with this problem.
    Here's is the deal, I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n with a 500GB shared on the USB port. I want to use my iPhoto Library on the 500GB. It's about 11GB, I have tranfered the library over and iPhoto is asking to choose the library I want to use. When I try to point it to the 500GB everything is greyed out. When I use a terminal and do a df command to show the mount point on my computer, I get
    /Volumes/500GB-1
    Why and where the -1 is coming from?
    How can I get /Volumes/500GB only?
    One thing I have noticed about the -1 is when I loose the disk connection it prompt me to disconnect 500GB-1 but sometime even with a -2 and -3.
    Thx!

    can I hook up my printer, scanner and external harddrive through a usb hub?
    Partially, a large number of USB printers will work with the AirPort Base Stations' USB port, but not all. I suggest that you checkout the following iFelix site to see if your printer is compatible. Similiarly, most external USB hard drives should work as well.
    However, devices that rely on two-way communications, like copiers and scanners, won't work when connected to the USB port.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi not working

    I just purchased Apples Airport Extreme 802.11n with the idea of getting just a bit more range than my old airport. This is/was hard to tell since I could not get the unit to function properly.
    My internet service requires two address but this A/P Extreme only allowed one. This A/P Extreme 802.11n totally shut down my internet service. It did not allow wireless connection with other computers. The range seemed to be less than my older Airport Extreme 802.11 a/b/g.
    I had to re-install my Airport Extreme a/b/g to get things working again.
    I went to Apples Products and Service page to find out about the Express registration. Apples registration system did not recognize my serial number. Apparently their specification page recognized some parts of the serial number since the web page did display specification for the Airport Extreme.
    DOES ANYONE KNOW THE REASON FOR ALL OF THIS TO HAPPEN?

    You said you went to the "Express" page and tried to register above. It may be because you tried to register an Extreme as an Express. I had some difficulty over two months ago registering my Extreme. It let me register it without all the data because it would not recognize the serial number. Called Apple Care and they made sure it was registered.
    Also, unless you have an all 802.11n system, you may get a little more range out of the Extreme, but I don't think any more than if you would have used an Airport Express 802.11g. Range and speed are geared toward all n systems.

  • Speed issue with the AirPort Extreme (802.11n)

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help out with this.
    I am the Design Manager and IT Director at a publishing company where we have just upgraded to an AirPort Extreme (802.11n) base station to drive our network. We went this route as all of our machines are Mac Minis with built-in Airport and we were in a situation where re-doing a hardwire on the building was not going to be a possibility due to budget costs.
    Our new configuration seems to be running very well and has the following devices connected to the AirPort Extreme:
    Linksys Firewall Router (which was used on our old system and was requested by corporate to stay in the lineup to keep the static IP addresses we've already defined for our printers, VPN, etc. intact). The configuration on this part is modem to Linksys router to uplink port on the Airport).
    New Panther, Intel based Xserve connected to the Airport's Ethernet port 1.
    A 4 port ethernet switch connected to the Airport's Ethernet port 2 which drives four of our HP LaserJet printers.
    Ethernet port 3 is not occupied.
    All of the ethernet cords connecting our equipment are brand new.
    For the most part, everything's been running blazing fast with a remarkable speed increase over our old hardwired setup. However, I've received a few complaints about slow speeds when dragging and dropping and working with files that are stored on our Xserve - we get alot of the "spinning wheel" and the transmission speeds seem very slow.
    At present, we have several category 6 ethernet cords on backorder. I was planning on using one to take advantage of the gigabit ethernet capabilities between the Airport and the Xserve (as these are the only two elements of the network that support gigabit ethernet, besides the majority of our Mac Minis. Printers and cable modem are only 10-100 capable, so those will stand as is).
    Can anyone tell me if the gigabit ethernet cord will be the solution to this one slow aspect of the new network? Any other settings I could apply to possibly speed up the transmission time when moving files to and from our server? Good news is that every workstation in the house is getting a full 4 bars.
    Many thanks!

    PS, just wanted to point out that we are also running in bridge mode.
    Thanks!

    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 ...

    I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but I'm having trouble with the new one. When I try to print, I get a USB Waiting message on the printer, and when I force a page to print by pressing Go on the printer, I get a page that says ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: true.  . . .cvt . . . fpgm . . . x . . .lglyf . . . <..J head . . .     STACK: / [    -mark-   /sfnts I’ve tried shutting down the printer and disconnecting it and the Airport, but that doesn’t help. I reset the settings on the printer. I upgraded the Airport firmware and removed, reinstalled, and upgraded the Lexmark printer driver. After I upgraded the firmware and printer driver, a few pages printed correctly, but then I got the same syntax error page as before. Any suggestions for getting the printer to work correctly?

    Use a powered USB hub between the AE and the printer.. the usb port does sometimes have issues.
    Try deleting the printer in the Mac and reinstall it.. the change in AE can represent effectively a change of printer.. it is important to make sure that is all up to date.
    Beyond that.. USB printers.. ughhh! Consider for two toners you can go and buy a proper network printer.

  • No Green Light with new AirPort Extreme 802.11n

    Bought new AirPort Extreme 802.11n today. DSL works fine with LINKSYS router but only get blinking Amber light with new APE. I am using 10.3.9 so can not use Utility CD as it requires 10.4. Do I have to upgrade system to 10.4 to get APE to work.

    Thanks for help. I upgraded to OS X as you all suggested and was able to use AirPort Extreme utility to access web and get the green light. I had to determine how I was connected to internet by DSL provider (PPOE) and needed to insert my mail ID (e-mail address) and my mail password. I was able to verify the PPOE connection by imputting the IP address of the Linksys connection on my browser and going to their web page.
    It took me a while but Apple support was available as it was a new purchase and they talked me thru.

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for Mac 4 use with Touch?

    Hello,
    I have a 2nd Gen Touch with the latest updated software. I use Airport to connect to the internet on my new iMac 24". Will the AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler software now offered in the Apple store($1.99) for Mac improve communications between the Touch and my iMac?
    Thanks

    Nope. Your touch is still limited to b/g mode wireless. In fact, if you have an all n network, your touch won't even know that it exists.
    Most of your Mac to iPod communication is via the USB cable unless you are using Remote or other applications that can move files on and off.
    BTW, that software is to enable early intel Macs to use N wireless. If your Mac is relatively new, you won't need it.
