Airport extreme stop working suddenly

I have an airport extreme that is used to be connected to Vonage for the internet phone. It goes from cable modem>Vonage>airport extreme. It used to works quite well when I have the airport extreme sets to bridge mode. The problem started when I cancelled my Vonage and reconnect the airport extreme to my cable modem. At present time I cannot get any internet connection through AE. If I connect the cable modem to my computer, the internet will works fine. I'm getting some error message from AE about no internet connection, unable to obtain IP, unable to connect to DNS server.
When I put in my old router, and connect the AE to the old router and set it up in a bridge mode, I'm able to get internet connection via the AE ethernet port. I have tried to reset the AE but I'm still end up with the same problem. Does anybody encounter with similar issue in past? Any suggestion in regard how to fix this thing? I'm hoping that I don't have to spend close to $200 to replace my AE.

OK, one more wild stab and then I'm probably out of ideas (hopefully someone else has some new ones).
Way back in the stone ages (remember @Home?), you had to use an assigned host name. Is there any chance your PC and Netgear are configured with an ISP-assigned host name and your Extreme isn't? I think the host name would go in the Internet, TCP/IP, DHCP Client ID field in the AirPort Utility but I'm not sure.
To generalize this, look through all your Netgear configuration settings to see if you can find anything (like a host name, DHCP client ID, etc.) in it that you might need to transfer over to your Extreme configuration.
Beyond this I just don't know. Anyone else out there got any suggestions?

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

  • My Airport Extreme Stops working every evening...

    Funny! My Airport Extreme stops working every evening at about the same time for 4-5 hours. I am assuming that there is some sort of "usage setting" that needs to be set. Unfortunately I cannot find that setting. Any help appreciated.

    A windows 7 laptop is also not seeing the airport extreme wifi signal. So I have a Mac Book Air, iPad & wired devices connected fine. I have an iPhone 3Gs, an iPhone 4 and a windows 7 PC all failing to connect. They all connect fine to other wifi devices. They all connected fine to the Airport extreme until the recent problems started. I don't think it's an iPhone issue, therefore - more likely to be an issue with the Airport extreme?

  • Airport extreme stopped working with dsl modem was set on ppoe and changed to bridge then lost internet does not show up in utility

    No internet or discovery on airport extreme after trying to resolve a conflict. Switched ppoe setting to bridge as suggested by utility got solid green light but lost everything else to include discovery in utility.

    having similar problem.  Internet is dropping frequently.  Modem appears to work OK when I connect laptop via ethernet and configure modem to PPOE.  After resetting modem to bridge mode and connecting airport, it'll work for some time but then I'll lose a connection.  it'll sometimes reconnect but not always.  using airport extreme as base station
    recently added express as extender.  connected via ethernet and appeared to work for awhile.  still have drops.
    then deleted extreme from network and tried to run with just express.  again, worked a bit but dropped frequently.
    now back to extreme as base and express as extender.  with some fooling around, my Airport Utility still shows express as green.  Except it's unplugged.  so now airport utilitiy thinks there's a ghost router our there.  any usggestions on how to clear that?
    thx.  mc

  • My macbook pro wifi stop working suddenly, and know appears a X on the wifi icon, what may have happened?

    Hello,
    My macbook pro wifi stop working suddenly, and know appears a X on the wifi icon, what may have happened?
    Its seems to be the harware.

    Hello raphaelitajuba,
    The article linked below provides information regarding this indicator and steps that can help restore functionality to your MacBook Pro's Wi-Fi.
    AirPort has detected a problem with the driver or a necessary sub-system component, apply the latest manual AirPort software update or reinstall Mac OS X. If reinstalling Mac OS X does not correct the problem, take your computer to an authorized Apple service center.

  • Wifi stopped working suddenly

    wifi stopped working suddenly? and will not turn on in system preferances
    Under the Advanced     wi-fi Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
    Just clicked on the wi-fi symbol on top bar (sorry do not know name of bar, if some else dose?)  and it states that No Hardware installed
    Any help please.

    I can add my macbook pro to the list of 'wifi: no hardware installed' victims.
    At the London Regent Street Store yesterday (after an hour's wait beyond appointment time) the Genius test said it was a hardware fault and the airport card must be faulty/dead. However, when I got home I turned the mbp on and, as if by magic, wifi was working normally. About 3 hours later it failed.  I switched off overnight. It's been dead most of the day so I did a complete clean up using Onyx, restarted and, yes, you guessed it, wifi was back.
    I guess it could be a faulty airport card but it seemsthere are an awful lot of airport cards failing all at the same time! Coincidence or a software glitch post 10.7.2? Various forums now seem to have plenty of entries from mac owners with this same problem.
    How do we get an official response from Apple on this? In my experience Apple are fantastic at addressing this kind of issue once they know. How can we ensure they are aware?

  • Airport Express stopped working...

    My airport express stopped working some time ago so I bought a new one so I could play my music remotely again. My ld one just "disappeared" , it no longer showed on iTunes. I am having problems setting the new one up. I am using airport utilities and going through all the prompts. It is making me join my existing wireless network. At the end when it goes to restart, I get an error message "Airport utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restarting".
    I am stuck, any suggestions?

    Quick check list
    Is your AE firmware updated to 7.3.2?
    Is your OS 10.5.4?
    Is your Airport Utility software 5.3.2?
    What are you using for a wireless base station? is it a combo modem / router, or are you using an Apple Extreme Base Station in bridge mode with a third party router?
    All of the above are possible issues.
    Provide some more detail in your post and the group will be more likely to be able to help
    Cheers

  • After Service, Airport card stops working randomly on macbook pro 17" early 2009

    Hi,
    So after the last time my computer was serviced, the airport card stops working randomly on moving the screen.
    Upons restarting the computer, it sometimes says wi-fi hardware not installed. Then, if I move my machine around,
    lift it up, turn it around, place it back on the table and restart it, it works again. I don't understand this.
    And all this started happening the moment my warranty ran out. Extremely frustrating!!

    It may be possible that one of the following may be the issue:
    The internal AirPort Extreme card is not seated properly.
    The internal Wi-Fi antenna connector is not seated properly in the AirPort Extreme card.
    The internal AirPort Extreme card's connector is faulty or damaged.
    The internal AirPort Extreme card is faulty.
    To get an idea on how the Extreme card is installed, please check out the following iFixit article.

  • How do I configure my Airport Extreme to work in Bridge Mode and provide specific IP addresses to clients

    My Airport Extreme is working with an Airport Express to wirelessly extend my wireless network.  Both Airports are configured in Bridge Mode per the instructions I found on Apple's support site.  I want to assign a specific DHCP address to a wireless camera that is in range of the Extreme, but I understand that the Extreme needs to be in DHCP Only mode to do this.  But if I change the mode to DHCP Only, the Extreme will lose contact with the Express.  How can I get both functions to work - wireless network extension and specific DHCP addresses?

    Then what device is providing DHCP? Only once device per subnet should be the DHCP server. One should be DHCP and NAT and the other in Bridge mode for most home setups. The unit with DHCP and NAT should be the one connected to your cable or DSL and the other set in Bridge mode only extends your network.
    On the wireless config page set whichever you're using to extend your network to "Extend a wireless network" and give it the details of the network to which you're attaching it.

  • Setting up a Apple Airport Extreme to work on the Telecom New Zealand Broadband network?

    Has anyone had any success in setting up their airport extreme to work on the Telecom New Zealand broadband network without having to connect it to the modem which NZ Telecom supply?
    Any advice and tips would be welcomed!

    1. Since a "router" is needed next to the cable modem and before the ethernet switch, should we put the new Extreme in that basement location? Or, should we instead put the new Extreme somewhere on the main floor of the house (connected by ethernet) and leave the old one where it is?
    Assuming the older Extreme is no older than Gen3 or Gen4 it is a perfectly adequate router for the speeds that cable will generally give you.
    And therefore it is best to bridge the new AC extreme and use it upstairs via ethernet. That will then give you the best wireless in the most suitable area of the house.
    2. Should we somehow bridge the two Airport Extremes (the old one and the new one) into one wireless network?
    Yes, what is called roaming network. Both units create a wireless network.
    You simply setup same name and same security/password on all the devices for wireless. The wireless channels are the differentiator.. and you can either leave that on auto or take some control over it and set manually. I would be inclined to do it manually just because the AC wireless needs the 149 channel for high speed AC.. so you do not want the old Extreme in the basement using that. Force that one to channel 36 or 40. However it is likely to work itself out ok on auto.. but I recommend you check it.
    The apple docos on roaming are rather ancient..
    Here is a post with newer info.
    Setting Up Roaming - New AirPort Extremes and Utility
    3. Should we go a further step and also bridge in one or both of the old Airport Express units, perhaps on the top floor of the house for example?
    Yes, if you have a black spot with poor wireless you can add the Express to help. The old ones are single band and will probably work better at 2.4ghz but whatever suits you.. perhaps setup one on 2.4ghz and one on 5ghz.

  • My airport extreme is working but will not connect to my mac pro

    my airport extreme is working and all other devices connect except my mac pro computer,  How do I resolve this problem?

    Hi fdrussell,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Were your Airport Extreme and Mac Pro communicating earlier?  If so, what changed?  
    First try shutting down the computer, and recycling the power to the Airport Extreme.  Then start the Mac Pro and see if that resolves the issue.  
    If needed, perform a Hard reset of the Airport Extreme:

  • After Software Update 2007-004 airport card stopped working after wakeup

    Hi,
    I have a powerbook G4 - DVI running 10.3.9. After I have installed Software Update 2007-003, when my computer goes to sleep and then wakes up, airport card stops working. I had to open the back of the computer, unplug and plug the airport card, then it starts working again. But next time the computer goes to sleep, it stops working again.
    Does anyone have a similar problem? Any work arounds?
    Thanks in advance.

    @Keith:
    Why are you always proposing your 'further questions' as answers? That's not adequate in any way!
    Especially as a 'Moderator' you should know better, I really dislike this and I am quite sure that I am not on my own with this opinion.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4865.whether-or-not-you-should-self-propose-an-answer-in-an-msdn-or-technet-forum.aspx
    It is pretty obvious from the post that this happens while loading WinPE, what is there to misinterpret?
    Are you using different WDS servers for your sites?
    If yes, try to remove the boot image from the 'Broken' one and re-import it.
    Comparing checksums is never a bad idea in such a scenario.
