Airport Extreme Don't work with windows

I have an airport extreme, it connects and give internet to my 2 macbooks fine. But when i get onto a windows computer (laptop) it connects to the extreme but don't have internet. As i have changed my o.s. to Ubuntu 10.10 it still connects to the extreme but still yet has no internet. It is that way with every windows computer i have. But it does work fine with my 2 macbooks any help?

How is your network setup? i.e. dsl/cable > APE > Mac/PC/Linux ?
Is the APE setup as a DHCP server? Are the non-Mac's setup as DHCP clients with both IP and DNS to obtain automatically?

I am unable to get Airport Extreme WiFi to work with Windows 8 Sony Laptop

My Airport Extreme WiFi works with my Mac Book Pro, iphones, ipad and DVR's, but will not work WiFi with my Sony VAIO laptop running Windows 8. Although it does work with the laptop using a ethernet cable. Has anyone else had this issue and can you please tell me how to resolve the problem?

Windows can have issues with the wireless name.
Make sure the name conforms to windows standard.
Short, 2-20 characters
No spaces,
Pure alphanumeric.
eg AEwifi is a good wireless name.
Fred Blog's Airport Extreme Wireless87AD34 is a really bad name.
Test also by removing the security and just see if you can connect if the short name doesn't help.
WPA2 Personal is really the only security worthy of the name and the password should be mix of upper and lower case plus numbers.. keep it pure alphanumeric also.
Set fixed wireless channels at least for 2.4ghz may help, depending on your location geo standards wise.
Test 11, 6, 1 in that order. With no security briefly. And a short name. (different name on the two bands is also a good idea).
Then wireless is not compatible.. you should download another driver for whatever wireless card the Sony uses.. intel most likely and they have a reputation as lousy. So download latest and a few prior to that as well.

Airport Extreme won't work with windows computer?

I can't get airport extreme to work with my other computer which is a windows machine. The windows machine can't find the network address. Sometime it does find an address and appears to be connected, however I cannot connect to the internet with that machine. My Mac does work and connect to the internet. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks.

I have a toshiba laptop and it works prefectly with a conceptronic usb card. But you must set up the Base Station only with the default options. I mean that you can not hide the SSID, or make an access control with Airport Extreme. You only set up the default options and it works perfectly. When I try to place an access control or hide the network then it doesn´t work and wait an ip as you say in your post.
If you want to connect from Windows to the Base Station you need to close your firewall and no other cable into the Airport Extreme, only the cable that you are connecting to access the Base Station. And it will work.

Airport Extreme ethernet not working with Windows XP

Windows XP no longer connects to the Internet via the Airport Extreme ethernet port. XP says the cable isn't plugged in but when I connect XP directly to the DSL modem it works fine. When I connect my MacBook Pro to the Internet through the Airport Extreme ethernet port it works fine. (I'm sure it's connected by ethernet because I do +sudo ifconfig en1 down+.) I can't figure it out. I'm relatively certain Airport Extreme is blocking XP from connecting via ethernet but I'm not certain. It worked without a glitch for about two years. Lightning fried my old DSL modem and ever since I got the new one, XP "can't see" Airport Extreme, but will connect directly to the DSL modem and the net without a hitch. Any insight will be much appreciated.

I'm not sure why your PC is not able to connect to the AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBS) Ethernet port, but it is likely the lightning strike may have something to do with it. I'm also a bit surprised you're were able to run the "sudo ifconfig" command under Windows.
To rule out general communications issues between the modem and the AEBS, I suggest that you try a complete power recycle of all your network components as follows ...
Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, AEBS, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

Will my airport extreme 2nd generation work with docsis 3.0 cable modems?

Will my airport extreme 2nd Gen work with docsis 3.0 cable modems?

RRoger, everything is working fine.
So, what is the actual problem here? You are now wondering if the Vonage can handle the speed from the modem? Is that the "problem" after all this discussion?
now I am wondering if my current setup will allow me to get docsis 3.0 speeds.
What speed is your Internet provider delivering to you?
The AirPort Express uses 100 Mbps Ethernet ports, so it will handle up to 100 Mbps. We have already told you that.
Vonage likely does the same. The answer is almost certainly "yes" .......both the Vonage and AirPort will handle the speed from the modem.
If you want to double check this, please provide the model number of the Vonage, and we will try to look up the specifications for the device. If you have documentation there with specifications for the Vonage device, check to see if the Ethernet ports are listed as 10/100. This is standard with almost all devices, with some of them handling even higher speeds 10/100/1000.
Chances are, your network will handle a lot more speed than your service provider is supplying to you. So, the "choke" point on your network may very well be your service provider and modem......not the Vonage and AirPort.

Why safari 5 and itunes 10 don`t work with windows xp?

Some one knows why the mos recent version of safari and itunes don`t work on windows xp?

Define "don't work". Frankly that's about the most vague and useless statement without some clarification.

Airport extreme won't work with Optimum cable

Bresnan Cable just switched to Optimum. My internet no longer works using Airport Extreme. Cable is working as is wireless. Optimum support says it has something to do with external versus internal IP addresses and weather my Airport Extreme was configured as a switch or router?

Airport extreme doesn't work on windows

Airport extreme card not working with leopard / G5

I just upgraded my PowerMac to leopard (G5 dual 1.8, 3 gigs of ram, 250 GB HD). I bought it new in December 2004 from apple. Previously I had been using a USB adapter to connect to my wireless internet at home (Linksys WRT54G). This device does not support leopard so I got an airport extreme card from gainsaver.com.
The Airport extreme card is configured properly as far as I know but it will only connect to my network for about 5 seconds then it drops. The USB adapter worked perfectly in the same spot and my macbook right next to it works fine as well.
1. Could it be a bad Airport extreme card?
2. Is this a known issue? And possibly be resolved with the 10.5.2 update?
It is a fresh Leopard install with no updates as I can not connect it to the internet to get them. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi, I have the same machine (4 ram slots?) have you got the connector for the aerial that connects to the motherboard attached to your airport card. Mine works a treat.

Airport Extreme no longer working with DSL

I have a Westell B90 DSL modem connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme (using DHCP) and the two have happily co-existed for four years. About two days ago, it stopped working. It seems the AE can't get an IP address from the modem. The modem still assigns an IP address and works when connected directly to my Macbook Pro (that's how I am connected now). I also have an Airport Express that I use for music and signal relay. I tried to use it as the base station - that also failed to get an IP address. Help!
thanks

Thanks. I was suspicious of Verizon, but I spent an hour on the phone with them yesterday and they swore it was not their fault. Anyway...
The modem is not acting as a router as far as I know. It is a fairly simple box with just a power plug, phone line jack, usb jack (unused) and the ethernet that connects to the AE. The AE is currently set to distribute IP addresses using DHCP and NAT. We have four laptops in the family and I need them all to work. We live out in the country, so there is no need to be secure.
Thanks again.

Macbook pro and airport extreme don't work

A friend (and all those tv commercials) say everything just works with Macs. Well, not exactly. New Macbook Pro and Airport Extreme can't connect me to the internet. I still have PC connected via ethernet cable to my cable modem and router which is in the basement where the cable enters the house. I've tried the different options in Airport Extreme setup and nothing works. It doesn't help Apple assumes I know everything about DHP PPPOE NAT or whatever all those silly things are.
Can anyone explain in +very simple+ terms how I get this expensive piece of aluminum connected to the internet?
Thanks.

Hello sofarapplesux. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I assume that you will continue to use the modem and router in the basement to get your Internet access ... correct? What is the make/model of this router?
If that's the case, I will also assume that you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) connected by Ethernet to this router ... correct?
So your overall network configuration should look something like the following:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > \[Internet port] router \[LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > \[WAN port] AEBSn ... close?

Adjusting Airport Extreme 11n to work with Linksys Adapter 11b. Possible?

What adjustments, if possible, do I make to my AirPort Extreme 11n Router to allow my Linksys Desktop Adapter 11b to connect another PC wirelessly to the Internet?

By default, the Airport Extreme base station will support both 802.11b as well as 802.11g connections. You can use the Airport Admin Utility to check the settings of your Base Station, to make sure this default setting has not been altered to function with 802.11g connections only.
There are a few other considerations when attempting to connect PCs (particularly those running older versions of Windows) wirelessly to an Airport Base Station. A lot of tips and tricks can be found via the links at http://tech.ifelix.net/index.html

Airport Utility won't work with Windows 8

With Windows 8 I can't get Airport Utility versions 5.5.3 or 5.6.1 to recognize my airport express when wireless. It can see it if I connect it to the computer with Ethernet. Another computer with Windows 7 works just fine. Any idease on how to fix this?
Thanks

We have seen a number of reports from users on this topic....with many more expected. The bottom line appears to be that Windows 8 is not fully compatible with any current AirPort Utility software.
Hopefully, Apple will provide an udpated version for Windows 8 soon.
