Airport Extreme Configuration with ADSL Libero (Italiano)

Sorry... this topic is in Italian, please post a question if you need a translation.
Questo messaggio è per chi ha una Base station Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n.
Per configurare l'accesso tramite Libero ADSL Flat è necessario, PRIMA DI COLLEGARE LA BASE STATION AL MODEM, impostare il modem sulla modalità BRIDGE. Di solito questa modalità è selezionabile nella scheda WAN delle impostazioni del modem, dove dovrebbe essere impostato PPPoA. Annotate il vostro username (che dovrebbe essere del tipo xxxxx@liberoflat) e la vostra password e poi selezionate la modalità bridge.
In questo modo il vostro modem sarà completamente "trasparente" ai protocolli PPPoA e sarà utilizzato solo come un "adattatore" per passare dal doppino al cavo ethernet.
Adesso attaccate la Base station alla spina ed al modem. Impostate nella scheda Internet della utility Airport il metodo di connessione PPPoE. Scrivete negli spazi dedicati l'user name e la password e poi cliccate su aggiorna.
Il gioco è fatto! Buona navigazione a tutti!

When an Airport Extreme is set to Bridge mode, is DHCP off by default? That is, does the APE router also hand out ip addresses?
When the AirPort Extreme is in bridge mode, DHCP and NAT are turned off, so any devices that are connected to the Extreme will get their IP addresses and network information from the "main" router on the network.
The network configuration I have is: Cable Modem -> 4 port Leviton Fast Ethernet router -> Apple Airport Extreme
That should work if the Leviton is configured correctly to provide DHCP and NAT services
Ideally, I'd like to use the 3 open ports (with 4th one used for Airport Extreme) at times, connect to wireless with Airport Extreme and also use the 3 available ports on the Airport Extreme without any collisions.
That should be a simple matter providing that things are configured correctly.
What can I configure on the Airport Express so all of the traffic is routed correctly?
If you have the Extreme in bridge mode, all the routing is being done by the Leviton router. The Extreme is simply acting as an ethernet "switch" in this type of configuration. It performs no routing functions at all, but can provide a wireless network if you need that capability.

Airport Extreme configuration with Linux server gateway.

Hello all-
I am sorry if this is a repeat post.... I looked and could not find anything. I am trying to set up a linux server and have it act as a gateway between my Airport Extreme and my modem. I am wondering if there is a way to set a static IP on the airport extreme, or do I assign the address on the NIC in the linux box. The internal network will have OS X, Windows and Linux on it.
Also is there a flavor of linux that works better than others with Apple equipment?
Thank you for your patience and help!
Cheers!

I am wondering if there is a way to set a static IP on the airport extreme
Yes, there is. You would do so using the AirPort Utility. (ref: AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Configure IPv4 = Manually) You can then enter the desired IP address information as required for your network configuration.

HT1145 The airport extreme used with my iMac is not seeing my other devices...anybody, please?

The airport extreme used with my iMac is not seeing my iPhone 5, iPad (third generation) or my windows based PC. When I open the airport utility it shows only the internet and my iMac. It does not identify the others. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi DaileyT,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
When do Apple wireless devices appear in AirPort Utility?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3624
Troubleshooting missing devices
If your Apple wireless device doesn't show up in the wireless device list, try the following:
Check to see that the device is turned on.
Check that the device is connected to the network via Ethernet or in wireless range of your computer.
Make sure the device has had adequate time to start up and become discoverable. In the case of Apple wireless devices that are not connected via Ethernet, AirPort Utility scans for new devices once every 15 seconds. From the time a device becomes discoverable (typically around one minute), it could take up to another 15 seconds before the device is displayed in the list.
If you have just configured a new Apple Wireless device, upgraded the firmware, selected "Restore Default Settings..." or have hard reset and configured an Apple wireless device and it does not show up in AirPort Utility after restarting, you may have an incorrect setting. You may want to hard reset the unit and set it up again.
If you are connected to a specific wireless network, all Apple wireless devices which make up that network will appear. However, if you "Restore Default Settings..." from AirPort Utility, or hard reset a device that is out of physical wireless range of the computer, you will need to move the device closer the computer to configure it again.
Best of luck,
Mario

Airport Extreme working with video chat

Has anyone else had any problems doing iChat's video chat through an Airport Extreme? I used to be able to video chat fine through my wired LAN, but when I set up the Airport Extreme connected to the wired LAN, it will allow me to connect through a video chat but it only shows my camera view, no sound or picture from my buddy, and iChat thinks it's doing a video chat just fine. Anyone else had this problem? Are there ports I need to fix?

I take it you are connecting to the internet via a router of some kind. You have then attached the Airport to the router to gain wireless internet access. If this is the case you need to make sure you have the Airport Extreme configured as a bridge otherwise you have a situation known as double NAT. NAT is a method used to share a single connection with multiple computers and works as a rudimentary firewall. iChat AV has a hard enough time dealing with a single NAT but if you have NAT on your AIrport and your router it is going to fail.

i have an imac g4 purchased Dec 2003 runnung OS 10.5.8. It runs fine with airport off, but when I turn airport on it freezes with the black page, "restart by holding power key . . ." I swapped the airport extreme card with the one in my ibook G4 (purchased same date and running same OS). No change in operation.
I am running wifi from verizon. Recently changed from mifi2200 to jetpak 4620 in a 3G location. Ibook running fine, desktop freezes. If I can boot desktop in safe mode and get airport turned off in time. then I can reboot regularly and imac runs flawlessly with no wireless.Have run disk utilities and TechTool Pro rebuild etc, but nothing has worked. How do I fine the culprit?

the power logix thing was really sad. apple changed so much after 10.4.8 that there wasn't a viable way to patch the software.
That statement is precisely why I don't believe in blindly updating the OS, especially in a non-standard machine.
We can't expect third parties to support us forever, and it is shameful to break something that works fine, except that we updated the OS....
I think that any upgrade or modification to a machine or the OS greatly increases the risk of trouble or incompatibility with current configuration and "new" system files.
After all, the component or software could only be tested as far as the current OS version when the component or software was released.
Beyond that, we are all "beta testing".
Following a beta tester protocol, and applying updates to a cloned system drive first, is a prudent way to approach updates, and not only for older, heavily modified machines.
After 10.4.8 and moreso with Leopard, the focus is primarily on Intel architecture, not PPC architecture.
Like it or not, we are all updating to the abyss of the extinction of our machines, unless we can be satisfied with the last stable version of OS that works well with our hardware and software.
I wish they would include the latest pkgs at least with software update.
Yes, having individual packages, rather than lump "OS X 10.x.x" updates would be nice.
This way, one could update as one sees fit. That is to say, for example, fix the Quicktime, but leave my Network alone, etc., etc.
In all fairness, Apple does provide for some breakdown of updates, but I believe there is much room for improvement, especially, as you point out, with regard to the core services portion of the OS.
Until then, I'll leave Software Update disabled.......

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.

Extending Airport Extreme network with Airport Express using WDS

I have been having some trouble using WDS between an Airport Extreme and Express, with the Extreme acting as the internet router in the network.
Both devices have been updated with the lastest firmware.
I am using Airport Utility 5.5.1
*Airport Extreme Configuration*
*Wireless Tab*
Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
Allow Network to be extended: Checked
Radio Mode: Auto
Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
Channel Selection: Manual (Same as my Express)
*WDS Tab*
WDS Mode: WDS Main
Allow Wireless Clients: Checked
WDS Remotes: (MAC of my Airport Express)
*Airport Express Configuration*
*Wireless Tab*
Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
Channel: (Same as my Extreme)
Network Name: (my network name)
Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
Allow this network to be extended: unchecked
Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11 b/g compatible)
*WDS Tab*
WDS Mode: WDS Remote
Allow Wireless Clients: checked
WDS Main: MAC of my Airport Extreme
I think that covers the pertinent stuff. If there's anything else that might be useful, please just say so.
So, the Extreme is green-lit, working fine. Wireless clients can connect to it just fine. On the Wireless Clients page the MAC of my Express is showing up, with a type of WDS listed. It does not, however, show up under the DHCP clients section.
The Express is yellow-lit. Sometimes after a setting change it goes green for a minute or so, then back to yellow, reporting a WDS Error ("the AirPort Wireless device is set up as part of a WDS network, but no other AirPort wireless devices were found").
The Airport Express is ending up with an ip address of 169.254.49.198 (an automatic private). It seems it's not getting an ip from the Extreme's DHCP.
Do I have some sort of authentication issue here? Honestly I'm totally baffled.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Would the routers' logs be of any help?
Thanks

Wait, just did a bit more reading. Am I correct in assuming now that the "Extend a network" option will function as a wireless repeater, with no ethernet connection to the main router required
Yes. This will provide much better wireless performance...and...its much easier to configure.
On your AirPort Extreme, open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update to save settings
On the AirPort Express, open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network (hold down the option key when you click on the selection box if you do not see this setting)
Wireless Network Name = Click on the selection box and name of your AirPort Extreme network should appear
Check mark next to Allow wireless clients
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as the AirPort Extreme network
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme network
Confirm Password
Update to save changes
A good starting location for the Express is a point that is about 1/2 to 2/3 the distance from your AirPort Extreme to the area that needs more coverage.
The ethernet port on the Express is also enabled, so you can connect an ethernet device if needed. Post back to let us know how things are working.

Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
Thanks

One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.

I'm trying to decide between the time capsule & airport extreme. With either option, will i not have air play?

I'm trying to decide between the time capsule & airport extreme. With either option, will i not have air play? I have an IMAC, MACBOOK, 2 Apple TVs, 3 iPhones...

AIrplay to digital or analogue devices like speakers or hifi system is only available in Express. Or Apple TV.
The TC or Extreme will pass airplay protocol just fine to your ATV.
The Extreme and TC and now identical apart from the TC having an internal hard disk.

Reading the AirPort Extreme configuration...

AirPort Extreme: 7.4.1
AirPort Utility: 5.4.2
OS X Version: 10.5.7
When using AirPort Utility of my 2.33 GHz MacBook Pro I get a long wait (either Manual or Continue) while the pinwheel spins next to "Reading the AirPort Extreme configuration..." After about 5 mintes a get a dialog box
"An error occurred while reading the configuration.
Make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)"
The Airport Extreme shows up in Finder, but I cannot access it. I'm connected to the internet just fine (I'm posting this).
Any ideas how I get to actually access the AEBS? I've read other threads on this (they're old and closed) but did not see a conclusion.
Regards,
John

Just went through the same thing myself. Set everything up, it worked like a charm, then I clicked on this innocent little button: Allow setup over WAN. I unchecked it because I don't want to allow WAN connections to configure my router, thank you very much.
However, what that checkbox really means is, "You are screwed, you can never configure your router ever again, regardless of whether you are connecting over the WAN, the wireless network or even the LAN (direct ethernet connection).
The other thing I discovered while researching this is, If you want to reset the router as you will absolutely HAVE TO DO to get around this problem once you've clicked and saved that one setting, and you have a blinking amber light, and holding the reset button for minutes doesn't appear to have any effect, what you do is: unplug the router, push the reset button and hold it, plug in the router while holding the reset button. 5 or so seconds later you will get a quick flashing amber like and you have successfully reset it.
Now I need to figure out how to file a bug to Apple. I assume this is a bug. It's a huge security whole and I am really ****** off about it.

Using an Airport Extreme router with PC.

I was told that I could use the Apple Airport Extreme router with my PC - but I can't seem to figure it out. Any suggestions to get started?

Sorry to be so ignorant when it comes to this type of stuff. I have a laptop (Dell) and a home computer (PC). The Apple man told me all I had to do with my previous router was unplug it and plug in the Extreme and it would walk me through the steps. It didn't. I think I may have changed some settings on the PC. Now I can't even get the previous router to work so I'm hardwired in on my laptop to even get here.
Do I need to hardwire in the PC, download the above utility, then try to hook up the Extreme router? How do I make it "secure" or locked so no one else can use it other than ones with the key code?
Thanks so much for the above information. Going to try it now.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa
