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

Airport extreme wont work with dhcp modem

Hello,
my airport extreme quits to work with my adsl modem after several hours (one night), the internet connection is gone even when the light is still green, maybe after the internet provider changes ip?
I am using wireless lan to get the connection.
If I then take out the cable from my modem and put it directly into my computer via ethernet, internet signal is there and everything works fine. Sometimes, restarting the airport extreme station and putting out/in the ethernet cable, helps and the internet signal is there for a whole day, but next morning same procedure..
Thanks
Stefan

Think you are suffering from the same problem that '000s of AEB 802.11n users have. I have tried every fix shown on Discussions and nothing has proved to be permanent.
It is said that Apple is aware of the issue and a permanent fix is coming with 10.5.5 to be released soon. Hope this is right because it is driving me nuts.
Are you really using 10.4.11 - if so, don't know what your fix is.

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?

I can't get airport extreme to work with iPad

I can't get airport extreme to work with iPad

Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. We have two distinctly different printing problems. Let's try tackling them one at a time if you don't mind.
In order for the iPad to print to a printer it would either have to be AirPrint-enabled or you would need another solution, like PrintCentral for iPad or Printopia. Unfortunately, I don't believe your Canon printer is AirPrint-enabled. There aren't many printers on the market that currently are. All of them, that I am aware of, are HP devices.
Now for the PC. I would go with what you have already suggested and that is try disabling either the Windows or third-party software firewall. Which version of Windows is it running? Just in case it's XP, here are two excellent iFelix articles on how to do so with or without using Bonjour.

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

Connect the iPod to irs syncing computer and restore via iTunes/ Place the iPod in Recovery mode if necessary to allow the restore.

I have two ipod nanos. And i have 2 itunes accounts and we are accessing both accounts from the same PC. One of my ipod works fine, it gets detected as a device and sync fine. The other one does not. Need help.

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is ituens purchases. The ipod is not a backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

How to configure airport extreme to work with Actiontec gt701d modem

I have been trying to set up a new Actiontec modem to work with a new Airport Extreme with no luck. I don't know what the right settings are to get it to work correctly. So far the only way I have been able to get the two to work together is to have the AE connect with ethernet and bridge mode. However with this configuration I can't setup a guest network which I would like to be able to do. I have read some past posts and have tried other configurations but end up either losing internet connection or getting a very slow connection. If anyone has some idea how to get this modem to work with the AE i would really appreciate some advice
Thank you

Welcome to the discussion area, Meagan!
The Actiontec "modem" that you mention is really a gateway...a combination modem/router, so with this device and the AirPort Extreme, you have two routers on the network.
Whenever you have two routers on a network, the first router must be configured to handle the main routing chores and any other routers must be configured in Bridge Mode to function correctly. So, Bridge Mode is the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme when used with the Actiontec gt701d gateway.
In order for the AirPort Extreme to provide a Guest Network, it must be configured as the "main" router on a network. This won't be possible unless you can re-configure the Actiontec device to act as a simple modem, not a router. You might want to check with Actiontec support to see whether this might be possible.

Trouble using Airport Express Base Station with DSL modem, Router and Hub

About 18 months ago, I had an Airport (802.11b) with WAN & LAN ports and modem hooked up to support two laptops, a Titanium Powerbook G4/600 and G3/400. The setup went from DSL modem -> Linksys router -> to Airport -> Hub (which had desktop and ethernet laser printer plugged in). The network worked fine.
Then, I got a G4 iBook to replace G3/400. Wanted to get 802.11g to support “g” Airport card in iBook. Got a Linksys 802.11g Wi-Fi with 4-port router for $50. Hooked it up directly with DSL modem. (Couldn’t get it to send out to hub). Hooked the desktop and ethernet laser printer into Linksys Wi-Fi/router. The only way I could use the printer was by having it be a shared printer from the desktop. This was often problematic.
Two months ago, I got a refurbished Airport Extreme Base Station. I can’t get the AEBS to interface directly with the DSL modem, so I hooked it up as follows:
DSL modem -> Linksys router -> to AEBS -> Hub. I plugged my Epson 820 (USB) into the AEBS and can see it to print to.
I have a static IP. That info is entered into Linksys router. Router set as Gateway, with DHCP enabled. AEBS is set to Connect using Ethernet, Configure using DHCP. Network setting: Distribute IP Addresses is unchecked.
Here’s my issue:
I can’t see the ethernet laser printer. It will occasionally flash available, but is gone in less than a minute. The printer is HP 2100 series.
Sometimes I can connect to the desktop G4 tower; most times I can’t.
I have checked and double-checked the cables.
Both the printer and desktop are connected to the Hub.
What can I do so that I can see the HP 2100 series printer and the G4 tower?

Don,
Thanks for the suggestions. Glutton for punishment that I am, I tried this again, “just for grins.“ The six other times I tried this, I couldn’t get the AEBS to “see” the Internet. And lo, this time it worked. Here’s the setup now:
DSL modem -> AEBS -> 4-port hub (which is connected to G4 tower and HP 2100 Ethernet printer). My USB Epson is connected to the AEBS, and I can print from the laptops. AEBS is set up: manual IP info, Network: distribute IP address; share a single IP using DHCP.
When I still couldn’t see the desktop G4 and the Ethernet HP 2100 connected via the hub (not), I got a flash. I had swapped out the cable a number of times to no avail. Then I realized, the hub is old and all the cables I was using are the new CAT5s. I dug out an old four-wire with RJ45 connectors that my husband made years ago (probably a cross-over cable). It was quite an effort as the cable is 30 ft. long and wrapped around the perimeter of the office behind desks and file cabinets, entwined with all the other wires. But I plugged it in and, Shazam! I am WORKING!
And, Don, thanks to you, I have eliminated the router from my gaggle of electronic boxes.

Airport extreme quit working with mac,dell etc.digital cable the issue? or?

Hi! I had luck here before, so I'm hoping I can find luck again! I'm with my folks, who run a Dell Desktop with WIndows XP Home Edition with cable modem, my Airport Extreme running wireless with my Macbook (listed) and an older than old dell notebook with a wireless card. It has been running fine for the last year.
Now, the new problem: My parents upgraded their phone to digital- so for the first week or so, every time the phone rang, I lost wireless- I presume from interference. On Monday, I was online, and was abruptly cut off. I was not able to get on again for the rest of the day. As sometimes the cable goes out- I didn't think much of it. Until the next day when I couldn't get back online, and the dell desktop could not get on either. My father called in to TW who walked him through several different solutions- none of which gave me wireless. I'm left with an old dell desktop to work on- (I'm a mac girl- I'm going insane). I need the stuff on my macbook- job applications to be sent, book writing for uploads- and my sanity back. Is it possible my Airport Extreme went? Is it the modem itself? Is it the wireless phone interference? My mac will show it can see the network- but can't connect to the internet- Any help at all will be greatfully accepted!
Thank you!!

What is the make/model of the new modem?
Since it sounds like your parents now have VoIP as their phone service, it might more likely be a bandwidth issue as opposed to a Wi-Fi interference issue that you are seeing. This would make sense since the Dell desktop is not able to connect to the Internet either.
One thing to try is to perform a complete power recycle of all the network components to see if this resolves the issue of connectivity. The simpliest method would be to first power everything off. Then, starting with the modem, power it back on; wait 10 - 15 minutes, and then, power-up the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS); wait 5 - 10 minutes. Finally, power on the computers.

How to configure Airport Extreme to work with Spotify

Issue: Spotify no longer syncs Spotify files to my iMac or my iPhone despite me being a premium member. I've never had an issue with this until this past week. I can't see anything that has changed but I must be missing something. Anyhow...I'm posting this here because I need assistance with my Airport Extreme configuration (not Spotify).
According to Spotify, I am to configure my (Airport Extreme, latest gen) router to allow the following:
The following IP ranges should be open on port 4070:
78.31.8.0/21
193.182.8.0/21
The number 21 is the prefix length.
I've assigned the static IP to my iMac and my iPhone. I've also forwarded port 4070 (Public & Private UDP and TCP) to my iMac's static IP. I also tried it on my iPhone. What I don't know about is how to open the IP Range on that port as stated above.
Any idea where this can be done? Thanks!

I cannot get my AirPort Extreme to work with my new BT fibre modem which has replaced my Draytek modem.

I use to use a Draytec modem with my AirPort Extreme. All worked perfectly and the internet connection was configured as connect using PPPoE. Now I have a replacement mode fro BT to allow a fibre connection I can no onager get on the internet. What do I need to change. Do I need to change the internet connection on the AirPort Extreme to DHCP.

Yes, I do think it is no longer using PPPoE.. but the IP is configured to the fibre to ethenet or vdsl port.
You might need to ring the ISP and get them to give you details.
Anyway it is easy to try.. plug the Extreme WAN port to the new modem and test with dhpc. Check that you get a public not private IP address.

Airport Express stopped working with my Airport Extreme Network

Hi. I have an airport extreme as my base station and I have an express that is used to extend the network and plug into my stereo to allow for streaming music from iTunes. The system has worked great for months and now suddenly the extreme dropped. The light used to be solid green but now its yellow. I've reset the express to factory settings and now its blinking yellow. I can't figure out how to get it back online. Any help would be appreciated. It seems like an airport utility program could do this but I can't seem to find it on my Macbook Pro.
Tim

Sorry...I meant to say that the express dropped. The extreme still works fine and gives me good internet connectivity.
