Airport Extreme in extender mode does not reconnect after main router reset.

I have an Airport Extreme 4th Gen (extender). set to extend the signal from an Airport Extreme 5th Gen (main). Whenever the main router resets (after reconfig, etc) the extender does not reconnect. I would have to restart the extender before it will connect again to the network. However, my Airport Express set to extend will automatically reconnect. Is this a settings issue? Please advise.

Ok, well I am hoping you are not doing a re-config of your 5'th gen all the time? This should only be done very rarely... we're talking like less than once a year for many people. Unless there's something else going on there, I wouldn't worry about it if you have to power-cycle the 4'th gen once in a few blue moons.

WIFI does not reconnect after a standby

Since I installed "OSX Mavericks" on my MACBOOK AIR, the wireless network does not reconnect after a reboot or standby. I need to disable the wireless and reactive for the connection resumes!
Thanks for your answer...

http://carnationsoftware.com/LastA2DPDevice_Mac_Wireless_Problem.html
Trash your Bluetooth preferences, restart your Mac.
Open Bluetooth Preferences (Apple Menu, System Preferences, Bluetooth)
Remove any audio devices that are shown in the upper section of that list.
Pair your Bluetooth Speaker or headset device and then connect and disconnect it.
Open /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
If the LastA2DPDevice item is present, then you know you have just paired a A2DP device. You need to trash your Bluetooth preferences and restart your Mac again.
The problem is caused by an interaction with Bluetooth and specifically Bluetooth devices that use Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) which is used to stream bluetooth audio from devices such as Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth speakers.
The problem is caused when the Mac goes to sleep and wakes back up. It tries to connect to the A2DP device that was last used by the Mac. If that device is not powered on or is not in bluetooth range, it will keep trying to connect to that device (for an unknown amount of time). While it is looking for that Bluetooth device, the 802.11 wifi is also looking for the last wireless router or access point and fails to find it.
Why the wifi is unable to reconnect after waking from sleep is not exactly clear because wifi is a different protocol than Bluetooth. One hint is that it only seems to fail with wireless routers that run on the 2.4 Ghz band. That is the same frequency that Bluetooth uses (even though Bluetooth hops through different smaller bands within that frequency.)
I do not have the problem when at home and connected to my Airport Supreme Wireless AC router which is running on the 5 Ghz band.
To prove this, here is what I did...
1. Go to a location where you are having the sleep / wake wireless problem and take your Bluetooth speakers or Bluetooth headphones with you.
2. Now while at that location, Connect to the wireless network there.
3. Turn on the power to your Bluetooth device (speakers or headphones).
4. Turn Bluetooth on and connect to your Bluetooth device.
5. Put your Mac to sleep for 45 seconds (that is enough time for the Macbook to shut down power to Bluetooth.)
6. Wake your Mac back up and you will notice that there is no problem reconnecting back to the wireless network.
7. Now turn OFF the power to your Bluetooth device and put your Mac to sleep for 45 seconds.
You will see that your MacBook will not connect back to your wifi wireless network after it wakes from sleep.
That is because it is looking for your Bluetooth device that it cannot find.
Note that this test is only valid if you are using a Bluetooth device that uses the A2DP protocol. I did my tests with a Bose Soundlink Mini speaker.
I am connecting to a Netgear N300 Wireless Router (WNR2000)

Airport does not reconnect after standby...

Is anyone having issues w/ wireless not reconnecting after standby? In order to resolve the problem, I have to turn airport off then back on. Most of the time I can get back on using on/off method, but seldomly I have to reboot. This is my config:
SSID is not broadcasted, using capital letters and numbers for SSID Name.
WPA TKIP set for router encryption. WPA Personal selected on Airport.
I don't seem to have this problem on my Macbook running Leopard, so I'm pretty sure it's hardware/driver related to my Macbook Pro. I have to keep tabs on this, but I almost think this problem does not appear when a network SSID is broadcasted and/or unecrypted. It could be my imagination but not sure.
Any ideas or same issues out there?

I always have the same problem; I assume it has something to do with the fact that I regularly switch my cable modem to "standby" when done surfing the internet. Seemingly Airport loses the signal (or whatever) because the modem isn't feeding a signal being in standby mode? When I turn the modem back on, I have to turn Airport back on as well. So far, I've just felt it to be a small inconvenience.

External hard-drive does not reconnect after sleep

Hi everyone
I am trying to use my Energy Saver to SLEEP my iMac after 1 hour. It goes to sleep no problem, but on wake-up, my external USB hard drive does not reconnect. There is also an error message that I didn't disconnect the drive properly. I fear this may be one of Mac OS X's "features". Has anyone encountered the same thing?
On a side note, I also find that my USB keyboard does not always reconnect as well. I use a windows USB mouse that I have connected to wake it from sleep, however my USB keyboard (the small one for Macs), sometimes does not allow me to type unless I unplug it and back in.
Another point of note is that both the HD and the keyboard are connected to the iMac through a 7 port USB hub.

I think this might be the issue. If the iMac is waking back up, it will likely be waking up this HUB, but the HUB might not be re-initialising the connection between OS X and the external drive or the keyboard.
After waking the iMac, if you unplug the external drive from the HUB, then plug it back in again, does OS X pick it up again? Have you tried plugging the external drive directly into the iMac and then testing what the result is?
If you read back on what you've said, you pointed out that you have a USB mouse that you use to wake the iMac from sleep. Is this mouse directly connected to the iMac? If so, it surely can't be a coincidence that a directly connected USB device can wake the iMac from sleep, but any USB devices connected to the iMac via a USB HUB cannot.
I would suggest you test the drive as it is directly connected to the iMac. I would complete the same test with the keyboard too. I think you'll find it's the USB HUB.
I hope this helps.

Broker does not reconnect after db restart

Hi,
we have a enhanced cluster with two brokers running on solaris 10. the ha store is a oracle 10 db. after a db downtime of 10 minutes the cluster could not reconnect to the ha store. we have in the broker logs the following SQLExceptions. it was impossible to use any imqcmd. we had to terminate the two brokers. after starting them everything was running fine, no more exceptions. why do the brokers not reconnect after a db downtime?

Hi Tom,
near the end of the pasted exception it says: Closed Connection.
i think this is the cause of the failure. this is expected because the oracle data store is down. The problem is, that after the db was back online. the broker continued to throw the same exception. i expect, that the broker throws away the closed connections and reopens new ones to continue his work.

Airport Extreme "N" does not reconnect after MBP wakes from standby/sleep

I have a closed network and do not have any problems with the new AirPort "N" base station except this one. When I open the lid on MBP the computer does not pick up the signal. I have my closed AirPort network in my list of Preferred Networks and yet I have to choose "Other..." from the drop down menu and type in the network name and password before to get it to connect. I do not have this problem on my PowerBook so I have only to assume that I have an incorrect setting on my MBP. Any suggestions? Thank You in advance.
MacBook Pro 15" 2.4Ghz 160GB HD Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I had this problem on one of my Airport N units. I deleted the base station from the preferred networks and also from the (I think) two locations from the keychain.
I then connected again and had the Airport added to the keychain again and since then I haven't had the problem.

Ethernet connection to an AirPort Extreme in extended mode?

Hi folks....
I just installed an airport express as a wifi extender for an airport extreme and everything is working fine. My reason for purchasing the extender is to provide an ethernet hook-up point for my "network ready" Denon AVR 2113ci receiver. I stress "network ready" because it is not "wireless" or "wifi enabled" but it does have an RJ45 ethernet connection to hardwire connect via ethernet cable to a network. Unfortunately, I can find no way to set up the airport express to allow me to do this? when I connect the receiver and attempt to set up the network connection I'm advised there is no network available. I purchased the Denon specifically because it was designed to use apple airplay so I don't think it's a compatibility issue? Thanks much for any advice!
Regards and Merry Christmas!

Suggest that you check to make sure that the Express is really "extending".
Temporarily, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect it to the Ethernet port on the AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable that you know is working.
See if the computer can log on to the Internet. If it can, you know that you have a network signal at the Ethernet port on the AirPort Express.
What are your results?

Express does not reconnect after reboot of Extreme

My extreme is conencted (via ethernet) to my router (bridge mode)
My Express is connected to Extreme to expand wireless network (bridge mode)
However when i reboot the extreme, the Express is no longer visible
I have to reboot as well. is this normal?
Also, logically (as per above config) the extreme & express are part of ONE wireless network
So a device conected will "roam" between the 2 as if it's only 1 wifi point (?)
However when i connect a wireless security camera, it shows me express & extreme seperately (eventhough same name & login)
and I have to choose to which one to connect.
IThis means if it's connected to Express & Express stops working, then
it will NOT got directly to the extreme (eventhough it's well in range)
Plsd to hear
Egon

Express in Extend mode does not improve signal

I configured a Time machine yesterday and had a low connection in my office 2 floors up. I had also bought an Express to extend the range.
Having had some setup issues, Apple Support talked me through it and I have a green light on the Express.
The express is now less than 2 metres from an XP laptop which has connected to the network but the signal strenght is showing as low.
Any suggestions on checking this connection rate / solutions?

Thanks so much for all your replies. I will try to address all the points in this reply.
99, I think you are right, about Apple not supporting using the Ethernet WAN port as a LAN port when the AXp is in the "Extend" mode. However, I had read on the Apple website that it does support using the AXp WAN as a LAN in the WDS "Remote" mode, as you have verified with your older AXp, and which I had also verified with my new AXp. The only problem was, when using the AXp in the WDS "Remote" mode, the AXp ran ONLY at 54 Mbps, even when there were no additional wireless clients connected to it or to the AXt, which kind of defeated the purpose of using the AXp as an Ethernet bridge in the first place.
The only way I could get an AXp bridge to run at 130 Mbps was to use it in the "Extend" mode or the "Join" mode. In the "Join" mode, using the WAN as a LAN works fine when connecting to the Internet, but I am not able to see or screen share with any of the computers on my local network. In the "Extend" mode, I am able to see and screen share with all the computers on my local network, but I am not able to get to the Internet, even though the Network Diagnostic tool reports that my Internet connection "appears" to be working properly, and it gives me all green lights (and as near as I can tell with my limited knowledge of DNS, all that information appears correct, as well).
Bottom line, I don't think Apple has properly enabled the AXp's WAN as a LAN in the "Extend" mode, as they have in the "Join" mode and in the slower WDS "Remote" mode.

Airport extreme in bridge mode or not?

Hello
I have an Thomson TG789vn non-apple router and a AirPort Extreme. The Thomson-router is connected to the Airport Extreme with a ethernet-cabel and the thomson is set in DHCP/NAT and the Airport Extreme is set in bridge mode.
Is this the best setup for my Airport Extreme, or is it better to set the non-apple router in bridge mode and the Airport Extreme in DHCP/NAT-mode?
Regards
Morten Joki Haukeberg

I think if you are using Back To My Mac you need your A.E. in DHCP/NAT-mode
That is correct.
Also, if you want to create a guest network, i think the A.E needs to be in DHCP/NAT-mode.
That is also correct.
Its just a bit tricky to set the non-apple router in brigde mode, thats why I would like to know first,
Is is usually more than a bit tricky to try to completely reconfigure a modem/router or gateway to act as a simple modem. Sometimes, it is not possible, other times very difficult to easy. It all depends on the device.
In most cases, it would be much, much simpler.....if you want to run the AirPort in DHCP and NAT mode, to use a simple bridge mode modem.....rather than try to reconfigure a modem/router.
If possible, ask your service provider if they might be able to furnish you with a simple, bridge mode modem.....if you want to use the AirPort as the main router providing DHCP and NAT functions for the network.

WIFI does not reconnect after MBP sleeps

When my new MBP Retina wakes up the wifi dies not reconnect. I have to "Turn WIFI off" and back on again. My late 2011 works without a problem on the same netowrk. I have been to an Apple Genius four times. I have even returned the MBP and got a new one. Same problem....
Any suggestions. Could it be the Linksys wifi router? SOuld I get an Apple AirPort Extreme????
THanks
Monty

I can not believe it, a new wifi router fixed it (so far)
I've let my Mac slap about 10 times and it reconnected w/o an issue

Apple wireless mouse does not reconnect after changing batteries

The wireless mouse on my iMac quit working after I changed batteries. There was no response to mouse clicks, or movement, or scrolling. Eventually I connected a USB mouse, did an orderly shutdown of the system, rebooted, and the mouse started working again.
The long story ...
The first time I encountered this problem was the first time I changed batteries in the Apple Wireless Mouse that came with the iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo I purchased in January 2010. (The OS is 10.6.2 without updates.) I switched the mouse on, the green light on the bottom of the mouse blinked for awhile (at least a minute), but clicking or moving the mouse got no response. The new batteries were Eneloop 1.2v rechargeables. I tried clicking and moving the mouse several times over a period of ten or fifteen minutes, nothing.
I started searching the web for clues about what to do and maybe a half hour or so later I tried the mouse again and it worked.
A few days later I wanted to see if the problem was reproducible. I don’t remember now whether I removed the batteries and reinserted them or just power cycled the mouse, but again the mouse quit working. The green light would blink for awhile, about a minute, then would go off completely. I took this to mean the mouse was searching for the Bluetooth network, not finding it, and giving up. Over the period of half an hour or more I tried switching the mouse off and back on several times. The green light would blink, but nothing more.
I started searching for tips about reconnecting an Apple wireless mouse after changing batteries. I ran across a (2005) discussion on MacRumors forums titled “Wireless mouse troubleshooting problem...” The symptom was a little different, the mouse was partially functional. In this discussion some contributors thought weak batteries could be to blame. So I replaced the rechargeable batteries with new alkaline batteries. Still no go.
I attached a USB mouse and looked at the Bluetooth preferences pane. I was surprised to see the Apple Wireless Mouse was listed there with status paired and connected. Still at this point switching the mouse off and on would produce blinking light on the mouse, but no functionality.
I tried various things in the Bluetooth preferences to see if I could get the mouse connection to restart. When I tried to delete the mouse connection there was an alert saying this was the only mouse connected, was I sure I wanted to disconnect. I said yes, but nothing changed in the Bluetooth preferences pane. I tried unchecking the Bluetooth “On” box, etc. Eventually I only succeeded in losing response to the keyboard as well.
I attached a USB keyboard, shutdown the system, and rebooted. I didn’t know if having the USB keyboard and mouse plugged in would interfere with the wireless devices, but it did not. After the reboot both the wireless keyboard and the mouse were functional again.
Since then I have tried removing the batteries briefly a couple of more times to see if the problem would recur. I actually put the rechargeable batteries back in. Both times the connection was remade as soon as I clicked the mouse. I also now have seen the Apple support article about setting favorite Bluetooth devices http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21371 . I'll try that if this issue comes up again.

Hi, is this a question" Post?
or are you just offering an insight into your Mouse Issue?
Generally and at times we all have little idiosyncrasies appearing with the running of our Macs.
I use the same Logitech BT with my MBP. MB & iBook..(not at the same time) Only ever had one issue
and the cure was to completely Delete the mouse from BT -> Repair Permissions & Reboot then Re Install the BT mouse..Ihave just put a new set of batteries in the Logitech (only 2nd set ever)...L

HP Pavillion dv6000 shows it is connected to Airport Extreme Guest network, but does not allow internet access. Anyone have ideas what to do?

My MacBookPro works fine on both primary and guest networks. HP info shows excellent signal strength. Web page won't open. Tried reducing security level from WPA2personal to WPA. Tried entering TCP/IP addresses manually in HP. I'm told that the HP works with other WiFi routers and can access Internet through other WPA2 setups. I'm out of ideas. Help?

With a PC, the Windows Firewall and/or the anti-virus software will sometimes block an attempted Internet connection.
Check both applications to see if you can find a "blocked" item and then take steps to "allow" the connection.
If still no luck, temporarily disable the wireless security for a short period to see if the PC can connect that way. If it can.....then you know it is security related issue.
See if the PC can connect using a setting like WPA-PSK-TKIP. The equivalent Apple setting would be WPA/WPA2 Personal.

Extended display does not work after downgrading to XP

Hi
I have downgraded from VISTA to XP
Before the downgrade extended display (19 LCD connected via docking) it was working OK
after the upgrade, it stopped working
I installed the latest video drivers from the LENOVO website, and tried playing with the FN+F7 but no luck.
It seems that there is some communication with the screen, as the screen looks as if it is working, but the entire screen is black!
when i look in the screen properties, it seems as if the extended screen is working, but again the screen is black.
any ideas?
thanks

which machine and what model of machine are we talking about here?? X60, X61??

HELP! Problem with setting up Airport Extreme in "extend wireless network mode"!

So I am trying to put my AirPort extreme in extend a wireless network mode. So I factory reset it, plugged it in, and went into Airport Utility to set it up. So it finds the device, and I set it up to extend the network. It does everything, and it gets set up. But there is an error message that says it was unable to extend the wireless network. Then 1 minute later, the Airport Extreme drops out, and the Airport Utility says device not found. I tried this multiple times, and it keeps happening. What should I do?

Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme will not be able to wirelessly extend a Netgear product. That feature will only work if you are connecting the AirPort Extreme to another Apple router.
If you want the AirPort Exteme to provide more wireless coverage, you will need to plan to connect it to the Netgear router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
