Airport Extreme internal card doesnot work in Windows

I recently got an airport extreme card installed in my Mac Pro tower so that i could connect to the wireless network in my home. I am running a Linksys wireless G router in the basement that has the cable modem connected to it. When i am running my mac in OSX i can connect fine, but when i use bootcamp to boot into windows XP i cannot connect to the network. I have installed the broadcom drivers from the leopard disc and i get the wireless icon in the windows system tray but it says it is not connected. When i open it up to see all the available wireless networks it says that windows cannot find any. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Bump. Does anyone have any idea of what i can do to get wireless working on my windows partition?

  • Airport extreme, audio won't work on windows 7 boot camp for my macbook pro osx lion

    Bought my Macbookpro in late 2011 and osx lion, decided to put boot camp on it, but it won't find my airport exrteme or even if i connect the ethernet cord directly into the laptop it still wont conectto the internet, and my audio also doesn't work, even when i plug in headphones, any suggestions?

    Sorry for the late reply, I've searched as much as I could all having similar issues but not quite being the same issue. I've tried manually putting in my airport extreme information, search for other connections, start a new connection, all have not worked. I did everything normally to setup windows except put in the authentication code which i have misplaced.
    I might've already added the drivers but im not too sure, how would you add the driver, just in case i missed that part

  • Possible Workaround - AirPort Extreme Disk Utility not working in Windows

    1) The only way I have managed to get Windows (in my case Vista) working with AE Disk Utility is to set it up using the "Assist Me" or "Manual Setup" with the Airport Utility with no special settings used to configure it.
    2) Update the Station & let it restart.
    3) On your Windows PC - Simply temporarily DISABLE your firewall until the next step is successfully completed. (I am using Norton 360).
    4) Use the Airport Disk Utility to log on as either a Guest or User. (You should see the drive appear under Windows Explorer & see ALL the files it contains)
    5) Re-enable the Firewall you have.
    6) This works for me everytime & I am able to stay connected to my USB drive for as long as I want or I wish to disconnect it.
    7) Repeat the above everytime you want to re-connect the drive to the Airport Extreme.
    I am able to connect successfully using my MAC Mini & my Dell Laptop at the same time without conflict.
    I know this is not an elegant solution, but until Apple get sort this out, it is failry easy to try.
    I hope it works for you !
    Enjoy :))

    Well I fixed this. Get the AirPortBaseStationUpdate2007001.dmg update. I had installed this, but it didn't put in a few items that it should have. Mainly a little application in Core Servies. I used Pacifist to install the Airport Disk Utility again, and then restarted. I no longer got a beep when opening AD Utility, but I had to uncheck "Automatically discover disks" then turn off file sharing on the router, wait for it to restart, then turn file sharing back on, and then open AD Utility after restart and click Auto Discover. It then saw my disks. I also changed the name of the Windows Workgroup, I don't know if that had something to do with it. Good luck!

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n connectivity issues with Windows Vista

    I recently purchased the 802.11n airport exterme base station and set it up using my MacBook Pro laptop. During the configuration process I set the security to be WEP enabled since there are other computers on my network, one of which has only an 802.11b wifi card, that can only accept WEP security protocol. The set up worked great and I was surfing on the internet with my Mac in no time.
    When I go to connect to the 802.11n extreme base station with my Windows Vista desktop PC, I cannot get any type of connection. I re-entered the Network SSID to match that on the AE base station and re-entered the WEP enabled password.
    Is there a compatibility issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and Windows Vista? I realize that the base station works on XP based PCs but not sure why it could not work on a Vista machine. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo

    Upon further review I determined the flaw with my earlier attempts to set up the airport exterme base station with my winodws vista desktop pc. I realized that I should not use a WEP key but rather a WPA key since the wireless adpater connected to my desktop is a wireless G enabled adapter that can handles WPA and WPA2 security.
    Therefore, no issues with Vista and the airport extreme base station. Works great.

  • How do I connect airport extreme to seagate hard drive using windows

    How do I connect airport extreme to seagate hard drive using windows?

    First the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) cannot share out an external HDD attached to its USB port unless it is formatted in either HFS+ or FAT16/32. It will not work if the HDD is formatted in either NTFS or ExFAT.
    If the HDD is formatted properly, when you access the AEBS with the AirPort Utility, does the HDD show up properly on the Disks tab of the utility?
    If it does, then you would access the HDD as any other network share, using the following format: //servername/sharename. In the case of the AirPort Disk (a HDD attached to the USB port of either an Extreme or Time Capsule), the "servername" would be the Extreme's Base Station Name, and the "sharename" would be the volumename of the HDD.

    Hola:
    Ante todo buenos dias, os cuento mi problema:
    Tengo una impresora gran formato HP 111 Tray (con bandeja) enchufada a un router Airport Extreme de Apple de 2ª generacion, ambos funcionando correctamente y con las ultimas actualizaciones de firmware, el caso es que al abrir el asistente BOnjour para imprimir en red a la hora de seleccionar la impresora no aparece entre las opciones disponibles, a pesar de reconocerla.

    What model and firmware is the 2TB TC?
    What firmware is the AE?
    Does the AE get good signal from the TC in its current location?
    Signal can only be extended that is received intact.
    Is it extending on 5ghz? As I remember it a Gen2 AE is only single band, although you can choose either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
    I am fairly sure you are going to tell me your TC is AC model..
    I would do a couple of things..
    1. Fix the wireless name, make it short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    2. Fix the wireless channel for 2.4ghz so it is not going to jump around.
    3. Get real results from the AE in its current location for signal strength.. this is really only possible on v5 utility. And that is a double pain with Mavericks because you cannot use it.
    Apple have removed all the useful diagnostics from the airport utility. There is next to nothing left. So you need to use the computer and its diagnostics to find signal levels in the location.

  • Using Airport Extreme- Printers & Hard Drives - Mac and WIndows XP Network

    I might be asking a really dumb question now, I have a Mac Pro, a PC my sons use and a laptop my wife uses. The PC and laptop both run XP Pro.
    I have my Airport Extreme set up and working well with my BT Home Hub acting as my modem only - that went much easier than I thought.
    All I want to do is to set up a network - my Mac (wired) to my Airport Extreme with a Canon Printer and external hard drive. I also want to be able to share files on the PC and Laptop (wireless) with other users as well as the printers. Ideally, i'm looking for a video website that will easily show how to set this up. I appreciate I may need to view several clips to get this sorted. I have tried YouTube without much success.
    As I said, this may be a dumb question.
    Thanks in advance, Matt

    1. So, what I want to do now is share an external hard drive also connected to my AEBS using a USB hub.
    AirPort: How to mount an AirPort Extreme USB hard disk volume in Mac OS X and Windows
    2. Share files on my other PC machines as well as their printers. So, if I need some text printing done quickly, I would print it from my sons' pc printer downstairs but request it from my mac upstairs.
    I'm sure that Windows has the ability to share a printer, but I have no details on how to enable it.
    3. Access / share files between Mac Pro, laptop and PC
    On your Macs, go to the Sharing preference pane and enable File Sharing. Now they can be seen by other devices.
    "How to Share Files between your Mac and PC"
    "File sharing between Mac and PC"
    4. Access Mac Pro online via Back to my Mac (I do have a mobile me account for this).
    In the MobileMe preference pane on the Mac Pro, enable the Back To My Mac feature. Then on your remote Mac the Mac Pro should appear in the Finder's sidebar as a shared item.

  • HT1218 Airport Extreme base station is working, but not visible on network?

    My Airport Extreme base station is working:  all devices are able to connect to the internet, but Airport Utility shows no connection.  Only one computer even shows the device-- greyed out-- saying "Device not Found."  The airport utility shows version 6.2;  OS X version 10.8.3.  How do I update the base station to version 7 if the device can't be found?  And how do the devices connect to the internet without "seeing" the device? 

    Thanks for checking. This model should be visible in AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion.
    If you have not already done so, I suggest that you perform a complete power cycle on the entire network as folllows:
    Power off every network device....in any order you want
    Wait a minute or two
    Start the modem first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
    Start the AirPort Extreme next, the same way
    Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
    Check the network again using AirPort Utility
    You can also temporarily connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to see if a connection is established that way.
    If still no luck, try another Mac if you one handy. After that, all that I can suggest is that you perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and configure it again.

  • HT4628 I recently transferred my internet service to another state. Have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the i

    I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Airport Extreme Replacement Card - Mac Pro G5

    I have an early Mac Pro G5 dual and just added the Apple M8881 Airport Extreme replacement card. Did not receive any software (driver?) with it. I am running Mac OSX 10.4. The only download I see for this card is for 10.3. The computer sees the card but the card sees no signals. Antenna, including the "T" antenna on rear of tower seems to be all ok. Any suggestions?

    Duane,
    That's what I thought, thanks. If I put the computer right next to the base station, I get a very weak signal. When I unplug the "T" antenna, the signal does not drop. When I unplug the cable to the "T" antenna, the signal does not drop. When that close to the base station, some signal must be getting directly into the card. The problem must obviously be with the antenna jack and I will be returning the card for a replacement.
    Thanks for your help.

  • HELP....ne​ed a good sound card that works with Windows 7 64 bit

    I've searched the internet and I'm seeing that folks are struggling with getting sound cards to work with Windows 7 (particularly the 64 bit systems). I know there are stability issues with the 64 bit system but I'm looking to install a decent sound card to improve stereo sound from my HP Pavilion (h8-1260t). The onboard sound is OK, but I'm looking for higher fidelity and the shortcomings of the stock sound chip is noticeable when played through my hi fi system.  Don't really need 'surround sound' (I'm not a gamer) but I'm assuming any card that comes with this feature will also produce a quality stereo signal.  I also like to archive music from steaming sources and have found a significant loss of sound quality once the track is saved.  I'm assuming a good sound card will help with this.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Spauld, welcome to the forum.
    I suggest finding a sound card that you like and contacting the manufacturer's Customer Service to assure its compatibility with Win7 64-bit.  They are the experts on their products.  While I am not a fan of dedicated sound cards because their drivers are conflict prone, I would buy a Creative Soundblaster.  They have been proven over time.

  • My westel modem (that I rent from my phone provider) quit working with the internet.  My airport extreme seems to be working from the dsl (phone) connection through the westel, then through the ethernet cabled to the airport extreme.  Do I need the modem?

    My westel modem (that I rent from my phone provider) quit working with the internet.  My airport extreme seems to be working from the dsl (phone) connection through the westel, then through the ethernet cabled to the airport extreme.  Do I need the modem?  Is the ethernet route less efficent that going throught the internet connection?  If I don't need the westel modem; how do I make the dsl conection to the pone port in the wall?  Thanks for help on this!

    Ok, so are you saying that your Internet is or isn't working?  Does it work if you plug your computer directly into your computer and bypass the router (make sure you power cycle the modem when you do this)?  If it is working this way, then a new modem isn't going to solve a problem with your Internet not working.  If it is going slow (try running a speedtest) then you need to call your phone company to have them take a look at why your Internet is slow.  If it runs fine this way and then slows back down when you go back through your router there is something else going on.  Try unplugging both the modem and the router, let the modem fully sign back in and connect to the Internet, after it gets signed in, plug your router in, and then after it boots up fully, try running the speedtest again...See if that helps any?  Sometimes it's just an IP conflict that happens when the dynamic IP that is assigned by your Internet Service Provider changes and the change doesn't flow smoothly.

  • Does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

    does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

    "You can use the AirPort Express to extend the signal provided by the new AirPort, but the Express will not extend "ac" wireless since it does not have that capability. The Express will extend an "n" wireless signal if that helps."
    This is what I am trying to understand.
    So AXTRM w/ sep SSID for 2.4 (b/g/n) - call it SSID1 - and 5GHz (ac) call it SSID2 - WiFi Explorer confirms AC mode on 5G.
    Using an AXPRESS to extend - I have the option of SSID1 b/g/n *and* the 5GHz ac SSID2 in the pulldown (it sees both?) --> if I select SSID1, it also extends this same SSID in 5GHz (both showing b/g/n) >> so I now have 3 signals on SSID1 (XTRM 2.4G, XPRS 2.4G and XPRS 5G) b/g/n and one signal on SSID2 (XTRM 5G AC) ac
    If I select the 5Ghz ac SSID2 to extend - it prompts me "do you also want to extend (the 2.4GHz SSID1)?" --> select yes and I now have 2 signals for SSID (XTRM 2.4G & XPRS 2.4G) b/g/n and 2 signals on SSID2 (XTRM 5G 802.11ac & XPRS 5G 802.11 a//n)
    Is the 5G SSID2 actually being extended from the Airport Extreme to the Express?
    The reason I bring this up is I am having a lot of issues since iOS8 came out (especially on iPhone 6). Everything I am reading is pointing to when people have 2 AP's set to use the same SSID. When you walk to a part of the house where 5G 802.11 ac signal marginalizes, the phone does not immediately hand over to the 5G 802.11 a/n Airport Express.
    My thought was separate the SSID's but to me, if the Express can't extend 5Ghz from the Extreme, it's taking a step backwards. I am better off getting a more powerful router like an ASUS and going with one AP, drop the WiFi roaming altogether
    Any thoughts?

  • Trying to connect to Airport Extreme with Dell Wireless 1370 and Windows XP

    Home network using Airport Extreme Base Station with WPA-PSK (TKIP) Security. All works well with MACs in the house (G5, iMac, and Powerbook). Trying to connect a Dell Latitude D610 with built-in Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN mini-PCI Card to the home network.
    Initially home network is not seen on Dell Laptop in available networks (as expected as it has not been added to list of available networks and is a "closed" network)although I do see the neighbors network so card is working and sees "open" networks.
    Set-up options for the Dell 1370 card include:
    Network Name (SSID)
    Network Authentication (Includes "open", "shared", "802.1X", "WPA", "WPA-PSK", and "CCKM")
    Data Encryption (When WPA-PSK is selected it defaults to Auto)
    Network Key
    Confirm Key
    All other configuration items are greyed out.
    I enter my SSID, select WPA-PSK, Data Encryption defaults to auto, tried entering passwrod in Network Key and Confirm Key which does not seem to work. Adds to list of preferred networks but does not indicate availability.
    Question is I have a password that I use on MACs for access to WPA-PSK network. On the Dell there is no spot for a password and it does not seem to work in the Network Key or Confirm Key boxes.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Open (broadcast your SSID) your network and see if that makes a difference.
    Often (especially in crowded airwaves) a closed network can cause connection issues for some adapters.
