Trying to connect Verizon wireless router to Airport Extreme but error says Ethernet unplugged.

Trying to connect Verizon wireless router to Airport Extreme and error says Ethernet Unplugged.

So, AirPort Utility running on the Windows Vista desktop can "see" the AirPort Extreme and displays its icon, but gives that error message at some point in the setup process? How far does it get?
Other questions that may help me (or somebody else) understand your problem better:
Which of the pieces were verified as working before the introduction of the AirPort Extreme?
Did you have the desktop computer attached to the Verizon GT704WGB with one of the Ethernet cables you are now trying to use? Which one? Have you tried the other one to be sure it also works?
Are you using the same port on the GT704WGB? Have you tried another one?
If the desktop has multiple ethernet ports, are you using the same one?
Had you done any special configuration of the ethernet port on the Verizon GT704WGB to get it to work with your desktop?
What category ethernet cable are you using? 3? 5? 5e? 6?

Airport Extreme Printer: Error 306

I have just upgraded my Airport Extreme firmware to Version 5.3.1 (531.9) and suddenly my Canan MP160 printer having problem. It prints a few lines and then stops with Error 306. I have tried to removing the printer, adding it again, updating the driver, resetting my iMac - all did not work.
Any help would be appreciated.

just went through the same issue, and did the same things. Then, I restarted my airport extream and then deleted the bonjour printer, readded, and named it something new, and voila!
give it a try.

Airport Extreme giving errors after upgrading to ML Server

With OS X Server, your machine sees your Airport Extreme and can then configure it by opening ports, etc. once you turn on services. I upgraded from OS X Lion Server to ML Server and everything was fine for a second. Now whenever I click on the Extreme in the panel, I get the following error:
The error occurred while processing a command of type 'getIGDPortmaps' in plug-in 'servermgr_network'.
In Console, this error pops up:
7/26/12 9:01:12.036 PM Server[4546]: Error: The server '10.0.1.250' reported an error while processing a command of type: 'getIGDPortmaps' in plug-in: 'servermgr_network'. Error: Error Domain=com.apple.Keychain Code=-25300 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Keychain error -25300.)"
I've got in and deleted all the keychain passwords having to do with the Basestation and I still get the same error. Right now, I put Ser

I don't know if this will help but here's what happened today.
While I was out of the house, I wanted to see if the VPN connection was still active and working on my phone. It told me that it couldn't log in so no big deal. I figured I'd check it when I got home.
I got home and checked the Server settings for VPN and sure enough, it was off. I turned the VPN setting to ON and let it write its information. I then went to the AEBS tab on the left pane and it asked me for the password. Once I put in the password for the AEBS, it worked just fine.
So far what I've done was erase any Keychain passwords related to the AEBS and turned on VPN service to get it working. Don't know if that'll work for everyone else but hopefully it does. Seems it's a tiny bug that should be stomped out rather quickly as it's a huge piece of OS X Server.

Fed up with Airport Extreme card errors connecting to wireless network

Since buying my black MacBook in June I have been 'enjoying' completely haphazard connection to my (encrypted) home wireless network, and been forced to sponge off some neighbour's open network half the time, as I keep getting the message 'there was an error connecting to the ... wirless network'.
I HAVE connected to my network successfully, and from time to time the ghost in my machine does let the MacBook connect to it all by itself, so there is no compatibility issue as such. I had hoped that downloading the most recent Airport Extreme Firmware Update would help, as it promised to 'improve reliability', but alas. I've tried downgrading to 10.4.9 as somebody suggested on these forums, but that didn't make any difference, so I'm now back on 10.4.10.
The whole thing is driving me completely bonkers, so if anyone has any suggestions (or would consider joining me for a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority about Apple's misleading advertisements promising that 'it just works'...) I would be most grateful.

Don't order an ethernet cable from the Apple Store, any geek worth his salt might have one in his back pocket or a few in his bag (probably calls it a "patch cord".) Even Target sells them for $7-8 but anyone in IT buys them in bulk for $1-2 or makes their own for even less (materials cost, anyway, but they do take a bit of time and skill to put the ends on correctly).
As for the wireless, I moved from a Powerbook G4 to a MBP 17" to a new MBP 15," and I have been very disappointed in how less stable the MBP wireless connection is than my old PB G4 or even my wife's four year old iBook as she sits on the couch near me merrily surfing away while I grumble. However, I have a cheapy SMC wireless router - I don't have the problem at work where we have Airport base stations or at many other places with different brand routers - it's tough to nail down, and it's **** aggravating, especially when working on a deadline.

Airport extreme configuration error -6753

Hi
I have had my airport extreme and networking wirelessly with my imac, macpro and printer for months. However yesterday I started having trouble accessing my internet connection through the airport extreme. I have tried reseting several times but I always get a message stating 'error occurred while updating configuration (-6753). I can gain access to the internet using an ethernet cable to the airport extreme but it does not show up in airport utility when trying to establish a connection wirelessly. I run OS X 10.5.8 and airport extreme version 7.4.2.

I assume the error message you mentioned appears within AirPort Utility? If so, there seems to be a problem with the config that may be solved by a reset. First, try to power-cycle (i.e. unplug, wait a minute and replug) the base station. If that doesn't work, perform a factory default reset and then re-configure the base station:

Airport Extreme n: error with USB HDD; Update 5.1 crashes

Ok, seems to be a few bugs for me:
I have no Macs as yet, so operating with an old IBM T30 WinXP laptop until WWDC in June when (hopefully) Steve will announce a new MBP
1) Cannot connect to my 300Gb Maxstor external HDD, keep getting the 'disk needs repair' error with the Airport Utility. It's previously formatted to NTFS, cannot format to FAT32 as the volume is too big according to Windows....
2) I can't update the Utility to 5.1 so can't update the Firmware either. Have tried unsuccessfully to update to 5.1 but when I do, it just crashes when I try to run it so I'm stuck with v5.0 for the meantime.
Any ideas or peeps getting the same from their Windows machines ?
Most important for me is to see the external HD, it's got all my media on it.
Cheers in advance

Hi!
I've found a good tutorial that can help you format harddrives to FAT32, for volumes under 2TB. You have to download a small application called fat32format.exe, and execute it in a command prompt in Win XP. But take a look at the tutorial:

Can't find printer connected by ethernet through airport extreme. All I get is a generic error message - I'm using printer IP address as address.

Old imac using snow leopard printed just fine to Ricoh cl2000n printer that is connected to airport extreme via ethernet (as was the imac). New iMac with Lion otherwise same cable configuration and the computer cannot find the printer. It searchs and spits out a generic error message. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is your printer listed?

If not then you need to get the driver and install it.
Otherwise you may want to reset the printing system.

"Error Reading Settings" for my Airport Extreme

When I installed Server everything worked fine.....until I exposed sevices in Airport using the Server Admin App. I did everything it asked ie. passwords etc., now when I open the Server app I get an error msg saying "An error occurred on the server while processing a command. type 'getIGDPortmaps' in plug-in 'servermgr_network'. "
I went into Airport Utility and everything seemed to be working correctly. Port mapping was checked and the services were mapped. The setup I have is 1 Airport Extreme connected to Server by ethernet with Tunneling enabled through internet options. Then I have 2 Airport Express' extending the network and those are set to "Local link only".
My question is....could I have double Port Mapping happening somehow? and how do I fix it so everything is handled through Server Admin App?
Thanks for the help!

Weel i am sorry but i do not have a solution.
Yet i have a similar problem.
I mean my Upgrade went very well, but Server App asks me to type the password ofmy airport extreme, but all the times did not work.
Thus i decided to reset the airport extreme. All connections works great, but Server App needs the password. Once again i type it but there is an error, as if the password was uncorrect.
Now if i do not fix this issue i cannot use my server because i cannot connect to it.
Thanks for the help

Error message when trying to setup Airport Extreme Unit - Please Help

I have never tried to set an Airport Extreme, but expected it to be relatively simple.....
I have been given an Airport Extreme unit (model A1143 - 802.11n) to use to set up a wireless network in my home. I am using the airport utility app to try and set this up but recieve the following error message:
This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.
I have downloaded the latest version of airport utility 6.3.1 as the old version would not install, but still i cannot get past the error message.
I am running a Macbook with OS X Lion 10.7.5 on it.
Could anyone help me with this issue and assist in getting me setup.
Thanks
Stuart

Unfortunately, things like this can happen when you try to use current software on a 6 year old product.
The solution is exactly as the message states:
You will need to use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update the firmware on the AirPort Extreme.
AirPort Utility 5.6 can be installed on a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC. If you do not have access to one of these devices, you might be able to take the AirPort Extreme to an Apple Store to have them update the firmware for you.
Once the firmware on the AirPort Extreme has been updated......then..... it will be possible to administer the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility 6.3.1.

External hard drive networked via AirPort Extreme gives "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)" roughly every two days

My lab has about 10 Mac computers. We all access a central hard drive by the way of wifi provided by AirPort. It's just a regular external hard drive (Seagate Desktop Drive) that I turned into our central storage space by plugging it into AirPort (USB). It works pretty well. We seem to be fine with viewing the file directories, opening files, saving, deleting etc., for a day or two. But then after a day or two, when when trying to modify files or move new files onto the central hard drive, we get the error message: "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)"
Any suggestions as to what may be causing this problem?
All of the computers are 2011 iMacs & MacPros. The AirPort is 802.11n WiFi. The hard drive is a Seagate USB 3.0 Desktop Drive.
Thank you for your insight/suggestions.

Thanks for your reply. I agree about the communication issue. Let me explain my setup and what I am trying to do and perhaps you can answer my questions or make suggestions.
I have a MAC Mini with a Sony TV for the video monitor. The Mac Mini is hard wired to the AE (Airport Extreme). The AE has a 2 TB HD hooked up to the USB Port. I have a 17" Mac Book Pro on the WIFI Network.
I am trying to use the MAc Mini as a "Media Server" of sorts. Once I get iTunes running the way I plan I am goign to hook up my Apple TV (2nd Generation) to my television downstairs.
What I am trying to accomplish is have iTunes on all my computers look to the External HD on the AE for the files. This is why I am having my (-50 errors).
So far I have noticed that if I go and try to download from iTunes purchased videos that are not ont he computer (to the external HD) it will also occassionaly give me teh -50 error.
Is there a way to change where the files go when I download them? Say I want to download videos to the computer but not to the external HD? However I would want to still be able to move them to the External HD.

Airport extreme blinking amber light error when connecting to new modem

I have just bought and installed a new modem gateway. It is an Arris TG852G DOC 3.0 model with a built in WiFi router.
After connecting it and activating it through Comcast, I reset, then reconnected my airport extreme MD0331LL/A Model No. A1408 to the new Arris
modem, I am getting blinking amber lights on the base station. I have internet connectivity, but I am still getting an amber light. My wireless devices (ipad and iphones) all see the old network name and id and seem to work just fine.
When I scanned for my airport base station in my airport utility (version 5.6.1) to try to resolve the error message I get
a message stating that the Airport Utility is not detecting any airport devices.
I cannot reset the default settings as these buttons do not work within the Airport Utility.
I suspect interference between the built in router in the Arris and I understand I need to operate it in bridge mode. Can you please help me fix this.
The COMCAST people are extremely unhelpful, and stated that this is not their problem but a problem with my router
as they have provifded me internet connectivity through the modem and the issue is my problem.

Try connecting an Ethernet cable from your computer directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to see if AirPort Utility can detect the AirPort Extreme that way.
If yes, click on the AirPort Extreme and then click directly on the word Status (2nd line on the summary page)
A window will open to explain why the amber light is blinking
If the message indicates that you need to configure the AirPort in Bridge Mode......
Click the Internet icon at the top of the window
Click the Internet Connection tab just below
Change the setting for Connection Sharing to Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update at the lower right of the window to save the new setting and restart the AirPort Extreme
You can disconnect the Ethernet cable that you were using to configure the AirPort Extreme now
It would be a good idea to power off both the Arris gateway and the AirPort Extreme now
Wait a minute
Start the Arris first, and let it run a full minute
Start the AirPort Extreme next the same way
You should be all set

Adding external hard drive to airport extreme for time machine error

Hello,
I recently bought an airport extreme that I wanted to combine with an external hard drive in order to do wireless time machine backups. I hooked this up and the hard drive shows up in the devices menu.
However, when time machine starts to backup, I get the following error:
"The backup disk image “/Volumes/Blackmer External MyBook/Benjamin Crispell Blackmer’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 1)."
When my computer is connected directly to the hard drive, it works fine.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thank you.

It is important to understand that Apple does not support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme. So, that may be an issue here.
Despite this, users try it anyway. Some appear to be successful for a time, some partially successful, some can't get it to work at all.
Even if it does appear to work initially, corruption issues may occur down the line without warning. Having tried this myself as a test a few times, I can attest to that.
If you want to try this anyway, the two important things to check are.....
The drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Other formats will not work
You almost always need to use a powered USB hub...even if the hard drive has its own power supply....because the USB port is under powered on the AirPort Extreme
You might also want to consider a secondary backup plan to protect your important files

Error 9672 when trying to print using airport extreme

I have just purchased a new imac running os x 10.5.1 and an airport extreme base station. I have a canon pixma mp530 printer and have on occasions successfully printed using the printer with the airport extreme but it has been inconsistent and I have never been able to locate the printer drivers in the utilities folder. So I thought I would download the latest drivers located in the canon website claiming that they were os x 10.5.1 compatible. Now I am unable to add the printer to my printer list in the finder as I get a 9672 error message and my screen freezes and I still have no printer in the utility folder. I have a ibook running tiger and the printer when connected to both the ibook and the imac using a firewire works perfectly. Has anyone else had these problems using a printer wirelessly or is there something I am missing. The internet works with base station with no problems.

Despite being a total newbie, I good the damned thing to work--At least for now.
I first unplugged the airport and then the printer. Plugged them both back in and then went to Canon's site to redownload the drivers. Restarted the Macbook pro and to my astonishment it worked. Again, at least for now.....
