Airport Extreme - Remote is not passing internet access - help please

I have the following:
Cable modem - > WAN of Airport Extreme. - works perfectly - wireless clients in range get internet access and the network works.
Second Airpot Extreme set to relay this network. It connects, gets a "green" light - seems to be set up properly, but wireless clients in that area cannot get internet. Why is it not passing internet.
Can anyone explain step by step how to do this or post a link to an apple doc?
Thank you,
Miklos.

Hi, actually this is still not working.
I got the second base station configured so that when it started up, it was working properly as a "remote" station, and I was getting internet fine through an ibook there (which is normally too far away from the main station to get any signal).
However, today, although the second "remote" station still has a green light and is connected to the network it is not getting an IP address from the main base station - and so I can't get any internet through that 2nd base station anymore.
Why was it working yesterday and not today when I've changed nothing?
Any help much appreciatd.
Miklos.

    My MacBook Air says it in connected to my wifi, but my wifi signal has a "!" sign on it. My computer will not allow internet access, help?

    When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
    Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click  Applyand test.
    If there's still no connection, and if you have control of the router, compare its settings to Apple's recommendations. Some third-party routers may be incompatible in 802.11b/g/n radio mode. Try setting the mode to 802.11n only.

  • Airport Extreme unit will not allow Windows devices to access WiFi

    For the last 10 or so days, my Airport Extreme unit will not allow Windows based devices to access WiFi (ASUS laptop and Nokia Windows Phone). Our Apple devices have no issues (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone, iPod). Settings were not changed but there may have been a program update? Have tried resetting without success. Today I tried to bypass the problem by creating guest network access - my MacBook Pro can access the guest network, but again, the Windows-based devices can't log in.
    Airport packaging stipulates that this product will service both Apple and PC products. I'm stumped and this is a bit of an issue as my wife's PC has been cut off from the Web as well as my Windows phone. This Airport unit is fairly recent having been bought August or September of last year - so a recent purchase, but to get Apple assistance it appears I'd need to purchase service ticket... (Am using Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and Extreme 5th Gen.)
    Is there an easy solution?

    No software updates available.
    Found a Network Options checkbox which blocked IPv6 connections in Airport Utility. Unchecked it, that didn't change anything, so I've returned it to its original setting. But under Internet Options, Airport is set to allow IPv6 connections. Strange that this unit would have settings that appear to contradict each other.
    There was an access control panel - but to grant control here, I'd need an Apple address which my Mac would have but which the Windows devices would not, so that setting couldn't be used to address this problem.
    So, no solution to the issue that I can see.

  • Access airport extreme remotely - how do I?

    Could somebody tell me if there is a way to access my airport extreme remotely over the internet. I know with netgear routers you can just tick a box to enable remote access but can't work out how I do this with the airport extreme. Anyone know?

    I take it you know how to get your IP or dynamic DNS, so we'll skip that part.
    In Airport Utility, be in Manual Setup. Under the Airport tab, on the Base Station page, click: Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port.
    Then when you're away from home, you can point Airport Utility at your DynDNS name and it should work.

  • Reboot AirPort Extreme Remotely Off Network?

    Is there a way I can access my Airport Extreme remotely to reboot it? I mean totally off my home network like with my iPhone or something? I know the IP of my Airport Extreme but cannot figure out a way to connect to it remotely when not on the same network. I just want to be able to reboot it.
    Thanks...

    Yes this is possible, if Back to My Mac is enabled in AirPort Utility, using your Apple ID:
    Select your Extreme with the button "Other AirPort Base Stations" then Base Station > Restart...

  • AirPort Extreme used as a wired/wireless access point at same time?

    Can the gigabit ethernet ports (wired connection) on the AirPort Extreme be used at the same time as the wireless-N connection when it is installed to a switch on an existing network as an access point? Will it still broadcast simultaneous Wireless-N dual band signals?
    If both are yes, then do you have any other information regarding the cofiguration? Or helpful links that may help me? Thank You.

    I have not yet purchased an airport extreme or even tried this. I have an existing network with a simultaneous wireless-N dual band router feeding a main switch. From the main switch I have cat5e wired gigabit connections to 4 PC's then two cat5e cables, each going to a small switch at seperate media centers.
    I have one area that I have a single cat5e wire that can not get the wireless signal from the existing router. In addition to the wireless signal problem, I could use a couple extra gigabit ethernet connections to this same area, but can't pull any new cat5's to it.
    I was told I needed to install a multi-gigabit-port wireless-N access point or install another switch with a single port wireless-N access point connected to it. As I looked into this, the dedicated wireless-N access points are wireless-N dual band but do not broadcast them simultaneously (it's either/or).
    So I was wondering if I would benefit in any way by using the AirPort Extreme instead of the dedicated wireless access point recommended, and if it will give me what I need plus a simultaneous dual band wireless-N connection to the area? I don't know why the IT didn't recommend installing another router like I'm thinking? Don't know if it will even work? If it is a good idea or not? Don't want any conflict or networking problems to have to deal with just because I didn't listen and/or got the wrong item? What do you think?

    GerleMan, Welcome to the discussion area!
    There are two probably causes:
    Your ISP is blocking the port used by Entourage to send mail and the ISP used by the other wireless networks is not.
    OR
    Your ISP doesn't like OS X's default MTU seting of 1500. If this were the case it should also affect any large file transfers you try to make from your Mac to the Internet.

    You might want to try resetting your router and your modem - just unplug the cords, leave them unplugged for about 3-5 minutes and then replug the modem and then the router in that order.
    This may or may not correct your problem - call back if it doesn't.

  • Airport extreme software will not install on vista, how can i still configure the router?

    airport extreme software will not install on vista, how can i still configure the router?  Trying to help someone with vista get an airpot extreme configured.  10.0.1.1 does not work, the software will not install correctly on their vista machine.  How can I get into the base tation and lock it down?

    Hi - Vista can be tricky - I need more info to see if I can be of some help - first, is the Vista machine a desktop or a laptop and is it fully up to date with Windows Update (sp2 or higher)? - next, are you trying to install Airport Utility version 5.5.3 which is the correct one for Vista? - and finally, what do you mean "it will not install" - what kind of error messages or evidence are you getting?

  • My Ipad connects with my hotel wifi, but does not indicate that it is a secure wifi, even though it requires a password to access - no lock symbol, hence no password request, hence no internet access - help.

    My IPad connects with my hotel wifi, but does not indicate that it is a secure wifi, even though it requires a password to access - no lock symbol appears against the wifi network, hence no password request, hence no internet access - help. My collegue who also has an Ipad can access the same wifi with ease, so it must be something to do with the settings on my machine, although checking the two machines, there appears to be no difference in the settings.

    My experience with hotel wifi is that it's an open, and unsecured, connection, but unless you agree to their terms on a launch page, you can't go any further or connect. Sometimes I need to force safari to come up and even make it go to a page, to trigger the auto load of the 'agree to our terms' page.
    Unless your machine is work provided so maybe could be blocked from unsecured net access?

  • TS1398 my wifi is showing connected but i am not getting internet access.  When  in the settings wifi settings  you can see the wheel or timer spinning but never a check mark like my other iPad.

    my wifi is showing connected but i am not getting internet access.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • WRT1900AC does not block internet access in Parental Control

    Hi,My router does not block internet access on my other PC. I tryed "Always" tryed specific addresses, tryed IP addresses and everything tech support suggested.
