Airport extreme reporting no problems but still can't connect
I have Airport Extreme connected to a Verizon modem(?router?) via ethernet cable. I can connect to the internet wirelessly through a network set up to use that modem. I have been using a network that is through AirPort, for the past year or so, so that I can connect a printer to several computers. The network stopped working after I rearranged my office and moved equipment.
I have the Verizon router attached to AirPort through an ethernet cable. The router is working, and when I set up AirPort, it says it's working just fine, too. I have tried resetting the router and the AirPort, powering down the router and Airport for 30 min, and then powering up the router for 5 min. and then powering up AirPort. The green light is on, its showing up when I run AirPort utility. The network is showing up as black, not grey. When I do diagnostics, it's showing that the ethernet is unplugged. I checked the connections and they are OK.
I have been struggling with this for a few days. Anyone have any suggestions?
Ok, I assume that you have the printer attached to the AEBS's USB port ... correct? With the AEBS, configured as a bridge, it is now acting as a "pass-through" device. Meaning that network devices connected to either the Westell or AEBS wireless networks should be on the same subnet. How do you have the AEBS wireless configured compared to the Westell's? That is are you operating two separate wireless networks?

I have tried everything including reseting my iPhone5c but still can't connect to App Store, and it's been over a week now! Totally annoyed now!! I'm not sure if it started after I updated my iOS cos I was able to update a few other apps. I just can't connect to neither apps store nor iTunes! I need help else I'd boil this phone alive!
Hello IamJudekow,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with connecting to the App Store on your iPhone 5c. I found a couple of articles I recommend for this issue.
First, I recommend using the steps in the section titled “Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch” in the following article (the article title refers to the iTunes Store, but the steps are relevant for the App Store as well):
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
If the issue persists after following the steps in that section, I recommend continuing with the steps in the section titled “Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)” in the article below:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Airport Extreme works with ethernet but i CAN'T ADD IT TO MY WIRELESS ?
I'm able to set up airport extreme with ethernet but for some reason i can not add it to my wireless network. Why is this ? I cant figure it out.. by now im connected hard wired airport extreme and 2wire modem is working fine.
Yesterday i was able to do it without the ethernet cable and it was succesfuly joined to my wireless network but it went amber color maybe cause it was disconnected by accident.
Any suggestions? or solutions?Same here. I have clearwwire and my airport extreme base station was working fine until 3 days ago. My computer cannot find the base station; tried everything. I can get internet if I connect clearwire via ethernet port. What gives? All I get is the blinking amber light. Is it just broken?

2 airport extreme base stations later and still no internet connection-
Sorry - yet another beginner with internet connection troubles! (I have read all the posts I could find relating, but without any help).
I have had a Demon broadband account now for about a month (I’m in the UK) and in that time I have purchased a D-Link DSL-300T Ethernet modem and an Airport Extreme Base Station. I got wireless internet working relatively easily – with a powerful range over the whole house and garden, but then one Sunday night, the internet connection via the base station suddenly ‘died’.
I spent the following 3 days scrutinising all of my settings of both the Modem and the Base station, re-setting both, and bought new Ethernet cables / micro filters etc but with no luck. (I’ll point out at this stage that my broadband account is still active, and if I connect the Ethernet modem directly to my iBook [wired] I can still get my broadband connection. Alternatively, I tried daisy chaining the modem to the base station and then via an Ethernet cable to an iBook, but no connection could be made).
When wireless, Airport Admin recognises there is a modem there, and under preferences > network under Airport it states I am connected to the internet – but I’m not.
I then phoned D-Link and they confirmed my firmware was up-to-date for use with Apple products and talked me through all of the modem settings and tweaked a few things, but there was still no connection to the base station. I then phoned Apple. They were incredibly helpful (as ever) and after 35 min. came to the conclusion the base station might not be re-setting itself properly. The replacement one came yesterday, and again I spent a number of hours trying to get it connected to the internet, but there is still no internet connection via airport and I can confirm this from both my eMac and iBook.
Reading through the forums on here, I understand that my particular modem is problematic with the base station, but I can’t work out why it use to work and now it doesn’t! One theory I have investigated is that the firmware of the base station is two advance for the modem following an update, but after reinstalling the original firmware I started with, I still have no luck.
- The eMac is running 10.3.9 / iBook is running 10.4.3. The base station is reinstalled with the latest firmware via system update. The first base station and the modem were delivered to me 31/10/05.
Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated if anyone has any ideas
Thanks for your time

I think if you follow the instructions I gave in this
link you will be fine.
Remember, If you for any reason loose your
connection, it is normally always a Power Issue..Your
ISP is down for service ..or some other anomoly, If
you were good before your settings will still be
good...Good Luck...Don
Hi Don,
Thanks for you quick response. I printed off the instructions you posted on the support forum before, and ran through your procedue exactly, (twice) but I'm sorry to inform you that I haven't been able to re-establish my wireless internet connection. Would it be safe for me to assume at this stage that my modem is indeed fualty? It contines to work fine independantly, (I'm using it right now) but it can't seem to make contact with the basestation.

HT1218 after airport extreme update 7.6.1, i can nolonger connect via iphone 4s
I just got this airport extreme not too long ago... took a few sleepless nights to finally get it all sorted. after the 7.6.1. update all iphones in my house stopped
responding. no more wifi connections doesnt matter what i do. it can actually link to the airport but cannot get online...... seems to work fine with my ipad2.
i've tried almost everything including turning off security. please help!Some people are having the same issue. Revert to 7.5.2 which seems to be the most stable one. If you haven't had any issues with 7.6.0, that be okay too. Apple haven't put out any update to fix some of these connectivity issues yet. So, be patient... And god luck!

Full wi-fi bars, but still can't connect
I've had my iPod Touch 4g for a few months now and I've never had problems with the wi-fi until now. I mostly use my wi-fi here at home and I've never had major problems before but I woke up this morning to find that my iPod can't connect tot he wi-fi anymore. It was working perfectly the night before and now it just doesn't connect no matter what I do!
I've tried everything from reseting the iPod, my router, the network settings, everything. The internet still doesn't work. It shows that I've connected to my router but I can't do anything that requires a wi-fi connection (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter) even though it says it's connected and shows full bars! Also, the wi-fi connects and disconnects by itself every once in a while.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is frustrating me so much!I've had my iPod Touch 4g for a few months now and I've never had problems with the wi-fi until now.

HT1695 Did iOS 6.0.2 update, but still can't connect to certain WiFi networks. FIX THIS, APPLE!
Like the subject line says, I installed the 6.0.2. update with my fingers crossed, but my iPhone 5 still doesn't connect to certain networks. Of course, Apple in their "Troubleshooter" sends me to an article telling me how to connect to a WiFi network, and to reset Network settings (which I've done numerous times).
This happens in a local coffee shop, and one odd thing is that the owner thinks he has his router set to require a password, but none of my devices show it to be a secured network (though it was and did require a password when I initially joined the network).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.We have the same problem here at the university campus. See my post
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4322372
We hope that Apple will release a fixed iOS 6-Version soon. -
I'm running windows7 and I'm trying to connect my iPhone4 and iPod touch2 to itunes. I've installed the latest version of iTunes, and updated my iPhone's driver. When I connect either device to iTunes I get the message "you need to uninstall and reinstall itunes". I've done this multiple times with the same results. This is very frustrating, HELP!!!
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Tnsping ok, but sqlplus can't connect ora-12154
Hello All, I have installed on my linux the 10.1.0.3 oracle client and I can do tnsping to my tnsnames.ora databases but I can't connect with sqlplus... I have an error: ora-12154
I have readed metalink documentation and I think everything is ok, but still can't connect... :( Can anybody help me please?
Here is some extra data:
-My env vars are:
ORACLE_HOME=/home/j0nuntu/OraHome_1
TNS_ADMIN=/home/j0nuntu/OraHome_1/network/admin
TNSNAMES=/home/j0nuntu/OraHome_1/network/admin
-My tnsnames.ora:
TEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.53)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = TEST)
ORACLE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.249)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ORACLE)
As I said, tnsping to test or oracle is ok... tnsnames.ora is in the correct path and there it has 775 perms on it. What can be happening?
Thanks in advance.Also, make sure it is using the correct tnsnames.ora file.
Do you have multiple copies of this file in different directories?
post the contents of your sqlnet.ora file as well. -
Despite troubleshooting, still can't connect to the internet on my Dell Laptop
When trying to connect to the internet, I get the following message: Server not found Firefox can't find the server at www.apple.com.
I cleared recent history, but still can't connect.Some laptops have a switch somewhere on the machine, usually underneath which you can use to prevent the laptop from connecting to the Internet.
Can you connect with Internet Explorer? If you can, then it may be that your firewall is blocking the connection. See [[Firewalls]] -
The light on my Airport Extreme is flahing yellow, but I still have network access to the internet with no issues. PLus, I can still get into the network with my iPhone, too.
DO I have a problem (such as net work being hacked)?
Was going to shop and don't want my cc number scattered all over creation.
Thanks.Suggest the following:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click directly on the word Status (2nd line on the summary page)
A window will open to explain why the amber light is blinking and offer suggested actions to remedy things.
If everything seems to be working OK, it might simply be a message that an update is available for your AirPort Extreme.
Now you know what to do next time the amber light is blinking. -
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. -
I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.
Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours. -
my iphone 4s can not scan any wifi network, i tried everything but still can not scan any wifi connection even though our wifi is working properly in our mac book and ipad. What do i need to do if the problem is the hardware?pls help
When you say it "can not scan any wifi network" do you mean it is not detecting Wi-Fi networks?
Is Wi-Fi turned on in Settings > General > Wi-Fi?
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
Is it just the home network that the device will not connect to? or any network? -
AirPort Extreme port forwarding, problems occurring. Please help.
Yesterday I discovered the game I have been playing allows for home servers. We are allowed to host our own game server for other people to join and play along. This game uses ports: UDP 19132 and TCP 19132 (which I think is optional, but UDP is defiantly needed) to host a server at home. We are paired with Comcast internet, using an AirPort Extreme (latest firmware) router with airport utility (latest firmware) on an iMac (1 generation behind I think).
Now the problem:
- I want to host this game server on my laptop! Not the iMac!
- The laptop uses Ubuntu and the brand is HP. It is connected wirelessly to my AirPort Extreme router. Now since it is not connected directly to the router, and is not an apple product I am not able to change the router settings from my laptop (I can deal with this, I'll just go downstairs and change the settings on the iMac).
- Yesterday I went into AirPort Utility. I proceeded to click 'Edit' on the router picture in airPort Utility. Then I went to the tab where you can reserve a dchp or port forward. I added a new port aimed at: UDP public: 19132 ; TCP public: 19132 ; Private IP: 1.0.1.201 ; UDP private: 19132 ; TCP private: 19132 (I did not mess with the 'reserve dchp' setting). Then I went to my laptop and used a VPN to test out the connectivity of the port and server. Sadly I couldn't connect to my server it didn't work. I then deleted the port since it didn't work.
- Today I did exactly what I did yesterday, except... I reserved a dchp for my laptop (keep in mind I had no idea what I was doing and i still dont) using its hardware mac adress. I also named the dchp reserve: mylaptop. Then i restarted the router, went to port checking websites and they still said my external ip had port 19132 closed.
- I know for sure it's not my server or it's properties.
FYI: I used multiple port checker websites after completing my port forwarding, each and everyone of those sites said my external IP address has port 19132 closed when obviously I opened them. I also tried to bridge my linksys wrt54gsv4 router to my AirPort Extreme router and tried to port from the router menu of the linksys router. That ultimately failed.
Please help, thank you for reading all of this.Hi, thanks for the reply. Been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. Paid so much money just to have it connected to the playstation but its not letting me do that.
I have a 60gb Playstation 3 not a Xbox 360, so it comes with wifi.
I have been trying this non stop and about to give up. I hae been following what the playstation manual says. Its telling me to scan for access points but everytime I do this, it just has SSID: default, Security: none, Signal Strength: 45%.
I dont understand this cos I named my SSID as Garcia Home which shows on my mac and it also has full bars for the airport on my menu bar. The playstation is located in the room next to mine so it can't be 35-40% only for signal strength.
