Airport extreme configuration problem with Netgear DG834PN

Good morning,
I have a problem. I bought an AEBS via the WAN port to connect to my Netgear DG834PN.
I turned off the WiFi on the Netgear, I connected the AEBS in bridge mode, but with the iMac and other iDevice there are no problems.
On the contrary my Acer Travelmate (Win 7) does not want to connect ... fact is connected, the card tells me that is connected and has access to the internet, but does not show mewhen I browse any web page, Skype does not connect ...
Do you have suggestions for configuring the Netgear or dell'AEBS?

The Windows Firewall may be blocking the connection attempt. I have not used Windows 7, but on an XP machine, the Firewall settings are in the Control Panel. Check to see if this might be the case so you can "Allow" an "Exception".
The anti-virus software may also be blocking the connection. You may need to turn it off for the configuration, then turn it back on.
It will often help to try to configure the device using Ethernet, not wireless. Connect a spare Ethernet cable from your PC to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme. Restart both the PC and AirPort Extreme, then open AirPort Utility again.
If still no luck, click the AirPort Utility File menu at the upper left hand corner of the screen and select Configure Other. Enter 10.0.1.1 into the address box and "public" (without the quotes) in the password box.

  • Airport extreme A1143 problem with mountain lion

    what airport extreme software version works with mountain lion

    I have an A1143 here and it works just fine with AirPort Utility 6.2 in Mountain Lion.
    It also works fine with AirPort Utility 5.6, which I have on another Mac here.
    All you can really do is try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme to clear out all the old....and possibly conlficting.....settings and try to configure it again.
    If you continue to experience problems, I would suspect a less than perfect AirPort Extreme....although I am sure that the seller claimed it was perfect.

  • Airport Extreme Utility problem with Vista (works with XP, MacOS)

    Hi,
    I just setup a new Airport Extreme network at my house, and most things are working fine. I have wirelessly connected at various points an Airport Express (using WDS), a MacBook Pro (OSX) and an IBM Thinkpad. I have several wired machines as well.
    My problem: The wired machine I use to configure and setup everything is a Vista Ultimate machine. Unfortunately, the Airport Utility won't connect to the Airport Extreme (or Airport Express for that matter) from Vista. The utility works fine from XP or OSX, but not from Vista. Note that I'm using this in a wired capacity. The Vista machine is directly connected to the Airport Extreme, while several other machine are connected through a GBit switch.
    Any help would be much appreciated? Is this a Vista security problem or an Airport Utility problem with Vista?

    It's most likely a security issue with Windows Vista. Vista has the ability to set "compatibility modes" for applications.
    Try:
    1. right mouse clicking the Airport Utility's .exe file.
    2. Click the Compatibility tab. Change the Compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
    3. Now go down to "Privilage Level" and check the "Run this program as an administrator"
    Apple never tells you this but you must connect to the Airport Extreme wirelessly. Now run the Airport Utility. You should see it.

  • Airport Extreme or stay with Netgear?

    I have a MacBook Pro, my husband has a pc. We want to set up our computers so we can share files and also have access to a wireless/external hard drive. Currently we use Netgear and a Motorolla Modem (I think that is what they are called). Well, like many other people, we are not computer literate regarding the insides and hook up etc. What is your advice? Can we do what we want with our current equipment or should we get the Airport Extreme and a new Iomega 2T hard drive?
    Also, who can we call to come out to our house and help with the set up and answer our questions? My husband says GeekSquad but I think they know very little about Apple. I have tried to do these things myself with our current equipment but I think what I did instead was open access to our internet and computers to anyone. Oooops. Any information you have is very much appreciated. I am in the Twin Cities area if you have any recommendations. Thanks again.

    Hello jocelyn33. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    If your current networking equipment is working for you, there should be no need to replace anything. It sounds like you are just looking for assistance with how to share files between Macs & PCs ... correct?
    Both systems have the means to share folders & files and it should just be a matter of configuring them to do so. There shouldn't be any configuration changes necessary on the router or modem to accommodate this.
    I'm afraid I can't make any recommendations on home computing service, but I'm sure there are plenty of folks in the Apple Discussions that will be happy to answer any questions you may have even if it doesn't specifically relate to Apple equipment.

  • Airport Extreme Printing Problem with HP Deskjet.

    Hello ... I wonder if any helpful folks can assist me with my printing problem? I am using Tiger on a new Intel imac with a HP Deskjet 960C. This printer is listed as having the latest drivers included within Tiger and works perfectly when connected via USB so my problem I guess is not with the software....I have disconnected everything and plugged everything back together again. I also deleted the printer from the printer list within the Printer Setup Utility application.... The imac recognisies the printer and upon pressing the print button everything feels as though its just going to work. The blue barber shop scroll appears but the printer fails to kick into gear and I get the big red exclamation mark appearing in the status box .... I would really love to try and sort this annoying error ... Any ideas? Thanks. Book G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hello jds17. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations.
    Take a look at one of these iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility links, depending on which AirPort base station you have:
    o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or AirPort Express Base Station (AX)
    o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
    If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.

  • Airport Extreme Connection problem with new MacBook

    Help-
    For the past 2 years, I have had no problems with my Airport Extreme. My MacBook Pro (2006), My wife's iBook G4 and two AirPort Express units used as remote speaker connections have been rock solid. Both iPhone and one iPod touch work like a charm.
    I just got my wife a new MacBook and since it came in and was connected, my Air Port Extreme has been nothing but a problem, requiring a hard reset every couple of days. As long as that MacBook is not connected, everything is fine.
    Anyone have any ideas? Only the MacBook is using 802.11n. It is so frustrating, that my wife want to use her old iBook so if this can't get fixed, the MacBook is going back to Apple.

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    From your description, it sounds like the wireless communications between the AirPort Extreme and your wife's MacBook are picking up some sort of wireless interference from another source such as a cordless phone or another nearby security system.
    I suggest that you try different channels for your wireless to see if you can find a setting with less interference. To do this, you would:
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme and then click Manual Setup below
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Look for the Radio Channel or Channel setting
    You may need to hold down the option key as you click on the selection box to display all available choices.
    Start at the highest channel and work your way down, or start at the lowest and work your way up.
    Click Update at the lower right of the window to save your current setting and the AirPort Extreme will restart in 20-25 seconds.
    It will take some time to find the optimum channel for your network, so proceed slowly and take a few notes as you go.

    thanks,

    Hey there BobKier,
    It sounds like you have a printer connected to your Airport Extreme and you cannot print from it. I suggest the troubleshooting steps from the following article to help troubleshoot the printer:
    USB printer troubleshooting for AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, and AirPort Time Capsule
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1253
    Check for software updates
    Be sure that you have the most recent OS X or iOS software updates, and the latest firmware for your AirPortproduct before trying to print.
    Note: Printing via an iOS device requires an AirPrint enabled printer. Refer to AirPrint Basics for a list of AirPrint enabled printers.
    Disconnect and reconnect
    Disconnect the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule from a power outlet.
    Turn off the printer.
    Be sure the USB cable from the printer is connected to the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule.
    Turn on the printer.
    Reconnect the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule to a power outlet and wait for it to become ready.
    Try to print.
    Check your printer driver
    Check the website of the printer's manufacturer for the latest driver version.
    Reset Printing System
    Use these steps on your Mac if the above steps do not help.
    Open System Preferences > Print & Fax preferences.
    Control-click or right-click in the Printers section on the left.
    Choose Reset printing system....
    Click OK.
    Click the + button to add your printer again.
    Try to print.
    Still not working?
    If your printer still doesn't work with AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule printer sharing, but does work when directly connected to your Mac, contact the printer manufacturer for additional information and to verify that printer sharing is supported.
    Additional Information
    Refer to this article for additional help setting up a USB printer on your Wi-Fi network.

  • 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.

  • Best way to use Airport Extreme dual band with Netgear FR114P?

    Years ago a friend connected via ethernet our G4 (10.4.11) and an old Blueberry iMac (10.4.11) to a Netgear FR114P Router(?) which is connected to a modem from TimeWarner Cable on our second floor. We also have an ethernet connection downstairs for a Windows XP laptop. We can all get on the internet easily, but we have never been able to connect wirelessly or to let one printer serve everyone in the house. My grandchildren now all have these wonderful Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, iPods, Macbooks), and I would like them to be able to connect wirelessly, and I would like to have a real network so we can all use the printer and scanner, but still preserving the integrity of our hard drives. We just bought 2 refurbished iMacs, an Apple Extreme Base Station (dual), and an Apple Express access point. How best to proceed to achieve the desired outcome? If the language is not too technical, I think I’ll be able to follow the directions.
    I am reluctant to mess with the Netgear connection which is working. I am hoping I can remove the hard-wired G4 and put the 27” iMac in its place. Then, I am hoping I can connect the AEBS to the Netgear router and somehow magically create a situation wherein all the computers & some of the devices can talk to each other and to the peripherals wirelessly? Is that possible? I’ve read some of the discussions, even one about a Netgear FR114P, but it was dated 2007 so I’m not sure it applies to my situation. Should I just get rid of the Netgear? I don’t want to spend 20 hours without any kind of internet connection and get into a frustrating situation as one of the previous writers did. I am happy to proceed methodically and get it right the first time. Thanks so much for reading this long-winded thing. If this problem is already recently addressed in this forum, perhaps you will be kind enough to give me the link.

  • How to configure airport extreme to work with Actiontec gt701d modem

    I have been trying to set up a new Actiontec modem to work with a new Airport Extreme with no luck. I don't know what the right settings are to get it to work correctly. So far the only way I have been able to get the two to work together is to have the AE connect with ethernet and bridge mode. However with this configuration I can't setup a guest network which I would like to be able to do. I have read some past posts and have tried other configurations but end up either losing internet connection or getting a very slow connection. If anyone has some idea how to get this modem to work with the AE i would really appreciate some advice
    Thank you

    Welcome to the discussion area, Meagan!
    The Actiontec "modem" that you mention is really a gateway...a combination modem/router, so with this device and the AirPort Extreme, you have two routers on the network.
    Whenever you have two routers on a network, the first router must be configured to handle the main routing chores and any other routers must be configured in Bridge Mode to function correctly. So, Bridge Mode is the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme when used with the Actiontec gt701d gateway.
    In order for the AirPort Extreme to provide a Guest Network, it must be configured as the "main" router on a network. This won't be possible unless you can re-configure the Actiontec device to act as a simple modem, not a router. You might want to check with Actiontec support to see whether this might be possible.

  • How to configure Airport Extreme to work with Spotify

    Issue: Spotify no longer syncs Spotify files to my iMac or my iPhone despite me being a premium member. I've never had an issue with this until this past week. I can't see anything that has changed but I must be missing something. Anyhow...I'm posting this here because I need assistance with my Airport Extreme configuration (not Spotify).
    According to Spotify, I am to configure my (Airport Extreme, latest gen) router to allow the following:
    The following IP ranges should be open on port 4070:
    78.31.8.0/21
    193.182.8.0/21
    The number 21 is the prefix length.
    I've assigned the static IP to my iMac and my iPhone. I've also forwarded port 4070 (Public & Private UDP and TCP) to my iMac's static IP. I also tried it on my iPhone. What I don't know about is how to open the IP Range on that port as stated above.
    Any idea where this can be done? Thanks!

  • Airport Extreme USB problems

    I am posting this information as part of case number 757-73818. Level 2 support for Airport Extreme has not returned phone calls, despite giving me a specific telephone number to call.
    I am new to the MAC world and I must say, I am disappointed. I have been having EXTREME problems setting up my with a USB-2 drive attached to the Airport Extreme. I have a brand new iMAC (Intel version) and OSX with all of the updates. I have Microsoft Office Suite for MAC - 2004 with all of the updates installed. I have also conducted tests with a new Maxtor 300G external USB-2 drive and a Lacie 500G external USB-2 drive. The drives were both formatted using Apple's "journalled HPF+. The problems encountered are repeatable with both products. I have spoken with Apple Level 2 technical support and they are unresponsive and have not followed through on any promises. Based upon personal investigation, I have been able to run the following tests which might help someone correct the problem. I am not an engineer, I am a lawyer, so I apologize in advance if you find the approached flawed:
    HERE ARE THE THREE PROBLEMS - THE FIRST WHICH I RESOLVED.
    PROBLEM 1: When a USB-2 drive is mounted to the AirPort Extreme and I logged-off as a user, the system hungs. After numerous tests, all of which are repeatable, I determined that one Airport Extreme configuration will cause the system to hang, and the other will log-out normally. See my notes below:
    1 Log-Off User w/o hanging computer connected to Airport Extreme with USB Drive
    Option Checked Option Unchecked MENU ITEMS
    System Preference
    Network
    Options
    Disconnect from wireless
    network when a user
    logs out Hangs Normal log-out
    PROBLEM 2: When saving Microsoft Word documents to a USB-2 drive attached to the Airport Extreme, I get an error message and the program crashes. The same file with the same extension can be saved to the local drive without a problem and to the USB drive if directly attached to the iMac. The problem appears limited to the .DOC extension. The file, saved locally, can be copied from the local drive to the USB-2 Airport Drive without issue:
    Here is the error message and the results of my tests:
    Note 1: Microsoft Word Message
    There is an unrecovable disk erron on file "Word Work File D-2" The disk you're working on has a media problem that prevents Word from using it.
    Try the following:
    * Try formatting antoher disk.
    * Save the document to another disk.
    When trying to save the file as "Test.doc", a file is created by Word called "Word Work File D_X"
    In "Finder" get info. The icon shows the file as EXEC. The file cannot be opened as an Excel file.
    I duplicated this problem on a Maxtor and Lacie USB drives connected to the Airport Extreme.
    I tested the following file extensions and obtained these results
    2 Saves Microsoft Word Document
    EXTENSION LOCAL DRIVE USB/EXTREME USB CONNECT TO IMAC
    .Doc Yes No (Note 1 above) Yes
    .RTF Yes Yes Yes
    Text Yes Yes Yes
    .HTM Yes Yes Yes
    PROBLEM 3: When saving Microsoft Excel Workbooks to a USB-2 drive attached to the Airport Extreme, I get the following error messages. If I save the same file using any Excel extension to the local drive, no problem and no problem with the USB drive connected to the computer. The problem appears to apply only to the certain Excel file extensions when saving to the Airport Extreme USB drive. The files can also be copied from the local drive to the USB-2 Airport Drive without issue:
    Here is the error message
    Note 2: Microsoft Excel Message:
    Microsoft Excel cannote access the file '[servername] SERVER:\{username]:Documents'
    There are several possible reasons:
    * The file name or path does not exist.
    * The file you are trying to open is being used by another program. Close the document in the other program and try again.
    * The name of the workbook you're trying to save is the same name as another document that is read-only. Try saving the workbook with a different name.
    None of the above recommendations had any utility. Here are the results of my tests:
    Saves Excel Worbook:
    EXTENSION LOCAL DRIVE USB/EXTREME USB CONNECT TO IMAC
    Excel Workbook Yes No (Note 2 above) Yes
    Excel 97 - 2004
    & 5.9/95
    Workbook Yes No Yes
    Excel 5.0/95
    Workbook Yes No Yes
    Excel 4.0 Yes Yes Yes
    If you have any information that can resolve these problems, please contact me. Thanks!

  • AirPort Utility hangs on "Reading the AirPort Extreme configuration"

    Our main router is our AirPort Extreme. We have two other AirPort expresses on the WDS. Everything was working fine till tonight. All the computers can connect with the router and with each other, but the AirPort Extreme doesn't want to connect to the internet or let the AirPort Utility connect to it. When you click on it for either Auto or Manual config, it just hangs with the message, "Reading the AirPort Extreme configuration". After a while it will time out and say, "An error occurred while reading the configuration." I've tried connecting with both a MBP over wifi and a G5 tower via ethernet. Same result each time. Finally I did a factory reset on the thing. After a while of reconnecting I was able to load up a saved .baseconfig file and reinstall it onto the APExtreme. The AirPort freaked out again. It still gives out IPs and routes network traffic, but it wont connect to the internet and it wont let me connect to it via AirPort Utility.
    Any ideas?

    Check the firmware of the airport, versus the software of the airport utility on the computers in question, the 2 should match reasonably; the latest of the 2 are airport utility 5.4.1, and firmware 7.4.1. So for instance if you have airport utility 5.4.1 and airport firmware 7.4 the 2 will not read correctly and may hang in random spots, or give you other weird problems. Assuming this does not fix it connect the airport directly to the computer through one of the LAN ports and configure it that way

  • Stuck on "Reading the airport extreme configuration"

    Strange problem here. I have an AEBS with a Win7 PC and my Mac Pro connected to it, sharing a USB printer. All good until yesterday when I needed to troubleshoot a printer problem and tried to verify settings on the AEBS via my Mac Pro. It won't allow me in, just says "Reading the airport extreme configuration"... I let this go on for over 30 mins.
    I tried restarting from Airport Utility. No luck.
    I tried unplugging it, then waiting, then plugging it back in. No change.
    I tried re-setting it using a paper clip. No change, but...
    Airport Utility popped up on the Win 7 PC, and it allowed me in, no problemo. I restored and then verified my settings, etc.
    But on my Mac, I can't get in. Any insights would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Add me to the list of users who are having the same problem. We are a school district that has 125 airports in 6 buildings. 70 of them are the new Airport Extreme Dual Band units. Of the 70 new units, 18 are having this problem.
    "File -> Configure Other" does not change the behavior of the 18 unresponsive units. They can be programmed after a factory reset, and sometimes connected to shortly after the initial "Update" but after few hours, they cannot be accessed anymore.
    I have been in contact with Apple support. Their only solution was to shrug their shoulders and tell me to start replacing them. After replacing 2, I had the same problems with 1 of the two replacements.
    Something that may also be related. We have occasional short term power outages (3 seconds or less). After an outage like that, a significant number of the airports will reject clients until they (the airports) are properly rebooted.
    Sounds like they need to fix the firmware.

  • New Airport Extreme not working with my Quad Macpro

    Hi all-
    My Linksys 902.11b router finally died and our household is now completely Mac-based (all with Airport Extreme cards), so I decided to take the plunge and get an Airport Extreme.
    2 of the machines on my home's network are doing fine with the router and are getting good speeds - iMac Dual 2.4 (10.5.1) - Both the wired and wireless connections are solid with this machine / Macbook Dual 2.0 (10.5.1) - Both the wired and wireless connections are solid with this machine as well.
    I have a Macpro Quad 2.66 machine running 10.4.11. I cannot upgrade to 10.5 yet on this machine since it's being used in my recording studio business and there are known issues with some of my apps and 10.5 at the moment.
    The Quad can see the network and has seemingly strong signal from the Airport Extreme BS, but DHCP reception is inconsistent (the machine often eds up using a self-assigned IP for some reason) and IP connectivity in general is inconsistent, even when an appropriate static LAN IP is manually setup. I can often get to a few webpages while using a manually config'd IP, but only with very slow DL speeds and then the connection quickly disappears and drops out entirely.
    The AExtreme is setup like this: DSL Modem-->Airport Extreme (config'd with a static IP from my ISP) -->DHCP broadcast dummy IP's to my network. Currently I've not setup any security since I'm in the process of troubleshooting and I don't want to further complicate the situation. Radio-mode on the AExtreme is set to 802.11n (b/g compatible)/Channel 1. I've tried numerous config setups on the AExtreme, but none have helped the situation.
    I've also disabled IPv6 on all clients per some reading on the forums of possible issues.
    Anyone know what the problem might be? Is it perhaps an issue because the Macpro's using 10.4.11?
    FYI, I've also also got an extra Airport Express around that's not being used that could be used as a repeater/wired connection downstairs if broadcast strength is the issue, which seems somewhat unlikely to me. I'm not sure how to config the AExpress to work in this capacity though, so if anyone could point me to a tutorial I'd appreciate it very much.
    Thanks in advance.
    Lee

    I just did some more testing using an app mentioned here on the forums, iStumbler. The app offered these details:
    - Signal Strength is between 45%-56%
    - Noise is between 24%-41%
    - Freq = 2412
    - No websites load despite it's seeing the router and saying we've joined it.
    I also did a screen capture of the iStumbler's screen in case that's helpful. There were several bits of info I wasn't sure about.
    Here's the screen grab: http://www.pbase.com/infiniteposse/image/91793322/original
