Airport extreme stops phone from working

Hi there, any idea why when I plug my new airport extreme into the filter my phone goes off line? Have been using proprietary router with no problems.
Thanks very much,
Lulworth

By "filter" are you referring to an ADSL/DSL Line Filter? If so, your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) should NOT be connected by one of these. Instead, it should be connected directly to the ADSL/DSL modem by Ethernet. Is this not the case?

Airport Extreme Stopping G5 from Sleeping.. Help!!

I have just upgraded to Leopard. Before the upgrade my G5 would go to sleep automatically as set in the Power saving prefs.
After upgrading to leopard I found that my G5 will not automatically go to sleep.
After pulling my hair our I have finally discovered that my airport is keeping my G5 powermac awake.
If I disconnect my networked printer and DSL modem from the modem, it does not go to sleep. When I disconnect the airport to G5 cable the G5 goes to sleep.
My Airport SW/firmware seems to be up to date.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Anything I can do with the ports to stop it from pinging my G5 and keeping it awake?
Any ideas are welcome!
Thanks,
Steve.

Although I know you tried resets, but please give the following a go:
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.

My westel modem (that I rent from my phone provider) quit working with the internet. My airport extreme seems to be working from the dsl (phone) connection through the westel, then through the ethernet cabled to the airport extreme. Do I need the modem?

My westel modem (that I rent from my phone provider) quit working with the internet. My airport extreme seems to be working from the dsl (phone) connection through the westel, then through the ethernet cabled to the airport extreme. Do I need the modem? Is the ethernet route less efficent that going throught the internet connection? If I don't need the westel modem; how do I make the dsl conection to the pone port in the wall? Thanks for help on this!

Ok, so are you saying that your Internet is or isn't working? Does it work if you plug your computer directly into your computer and bypass the router (make sure you power cycle the modem when you do this)? If it is working this way, then a new modem isn't going to solve a problem with your Internet not working. If it is going slow (try running a speedtest) then you need to call your phone company to have them take a look at why your Internet is slow. If it runs fine this way and then slows back down when you go back through your router there is something else going on. Try unplugging both the modem and the router, let the modem fully sign back in and connect to the Internet, after it gets signed in, plug your router in, and then after it boots up fully, try running the speedtest again...See if that helps any? Sometimes it's just an IP conflict that happens when the dynamic IP that is assigned by your Internet Service Provider changes and the change doesn't flow smoothly.

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 basestation used to work but upon returning from holdidays it no longer allows me to connect wirelessly through it to the internet on my iPhone, iPads, ipod touches and my apple tv2 cannot access the network either. Wired still works

When I returned from holidays I could not access the internet wirelessly through my Airport Extreme (5th gen) from my iPhone, iPod touches, ipads and my AppleTV 2 no longer can access the internet or the network either. I can get access to the internet on my iMac when wired directly into an ethernet port on the Airport Extreme. I have tried resetting my AirPort and created new networks but still doesn't want to co-operate. If I get wireless internet it is very, very slow and incosistent.
Any suggestions?
Rick

I see now that long questions are not going to be read and answered. Understandable. Since writing this I got help on one aspect of question and now have Airport Extreme visible through Airport Utility and it seems to work. However the wireless printer still does print. On the printer's screen, it recognizes my wireless network and connects. When I try to print from the MacBook, the usual printer icon comes up, but with Printer is Offline. Printer is Not Connected. So far, nothing in Apple or Brother help has given me answer to this problem. Any ideas would be appreciated.

How do i set up my airport extreme to access from my work windows based PC

How do I set up my airport extreme to access from my work windows based pc?

To mount the AirPort Disk in Windows 7 or Vista:
Open the Network browser by double-clicking Network on the Windows Desktop.
The AirPort Extreme base station name should appear in the browswer.
Double-click the name and you should get a login prompt.
Now depending on how you set up disk access:
In the Name field, either enter the user account name or for base station/disk access, leave this field blank.
In the Password field, enter the base station, disk, or user account password.
Select the volume(s) you want to mount, and then, click OK.

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?

Does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

"You can use the AirPort Express to extend the signal provided by the new AirPort, but the Express will not extend "ac" wireless since it does not have that capability. The Express will extend an "n" wireless signal if that helps."
This is what I am trying to understand.
So AXTRM w/ sep SSID for 2.4 (b/g/n) - call it SSID1 - and 5GHz (ac) call it SSID2 - WiFi Explorer confirms AC mode on 5G.
Using an AXPRESS to extend - I have the option of SSID1 b/g/n *and* the 5GHz ac SSID2 in the pulldown (it sees both?) --> if I select SSID1, it also extends this same SSID in 5GHz (both showing b/g/n) >> so I now have 3 signals on SSID1 (XTRM 2.4G, XPRS 2.4G and XPRS 5G) b/g/n and one signal on SSID2 (XTRM 5G AC) ac
If I select the 5Ghz ac SSID2 to extend - it prompts me "do you also want to extend (the 2.4GHz SSID1)?" --> select yes and I now have 2 signals for SSID (XTRM 2.4G & XPRS 2.4G) b/g/n and 2 signals on SSID2 (XTRM 5G 802.11ac & XPRS 5G 802.11 a//n)
Is the 5G SSID2 actually being extended from the Airport Extreme to the Express?
The reason I bring this up is I am having a lot of issues since iOS8 came out (especially on iPhone 6). Everything I am reading is pointing to when people have 2 AP's set to use the same SSID. When you walk to a part of the house where 5G 802.11 ac signal marginalizes, the phone does not immediately hand over to the 5G 802.11 a/n Airport Express.
My thought was separate the SSID's but to me, if the Express can't extend 5Ghz from the Extreme, it's taking a step backwards. I am better off getting a more powerful router like an ASUS and going with one AP, drop the WiFi roaming altogether
Any thoughts?

HT1218 Airport Extreme base station is working, but not visible on network?

My Airport Extreme base station is working: all devices are able to connect to the internet, but Airport Utility shows no connection. Only one computer even shows the device-- greyed out-- saying "Device not Found." The airport utility shows version 6.2; OS X version 10.8.3. How do I update the base station to version 7 if the device can't be found? And how do the devices connect to the internet without "seeing" the device?

Thanks for checking. This model should be visible in AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion.
If you have not already done so, I suggest that you perform a complete power cycle on the entire network as folllows:
Power off every network device....in any order you want
Wait a minute or two
Start the modem first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
Start the AirPort Extreme next, the same way
Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
Check the network again using AirPort Utility
You can also temporarily connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to see if a connection is established that way.
If still no luck, try another Mac if you one handy. After that, all that I can suggest is that you perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and configure it again.

My New Airport Extreme keeps disconnecting from Xbox Live, Why??

I have just lately updated my wireless router to the New Airport Extreme and it has worked great for all be one of my systems. For some reason my Xbox360(1st gen) keeps disconnecting me from Xbox Live everytime i log-in.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but what I do know is that I didn't have this problem with my old Netgear router. And No I can't change back to my old router im just hoping that these an easy fix for this problem??
Thank you!!

Hey,
I'm using an Airport Express with my xbox and having the same problem. using the xbox 360 slim, 4GB with wifi. All my other devices are totally fine.
How did you solve the issue ?
pm me at [email protected] if you like. Thanks !

As soon as I open iTunes a message pops up to say a problem has stopped it from working and I have to close it. Any solutions?

Start with the third box in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If that doesn't work, use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Can I use an Airport Extreme Base Station from the USA in Europe ?

A friend of mine gave me an Airport Extreme Base Station from the USA to Germany. When I hook it up to my PB by ethernet cable the Computer can't find the Base Station at all. If I use my Sonnett Aria Extreme PCI card it finds the station but in the pop-up menu asking in which country I want to use the airport station it only offers North and South American countries. How do I go from here and why is my PB not finding the station when I'm using cables ? Has it something to do with different models for different countries ? Any idea ? Thanx

Here you go ...
Changing the Radio Channel on the AEBSn
Either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network, or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN ports of the AEBSn, and then, using the AirPort Utility in Manual Setup, check these settings:
AirPort - Wireless
o Channel: <Use Automatic or select a preferred channel>

Freeze accounts periods stops MRP from working?

Hi
We have been doing some work in Accounts and froze the accounting periods January - September, but it appears this action stopped MRP from working.
Is this behaviour correct by design, or is it possible there is an as yet undefined issue?
Thanks

Hi,
Did you received error message like Period is locked for new data [Message 131-107]?
If yes, then the system behavior is correct.
Thanks & Regards,

This content requires hdcp for playback. so I paid $100 for it and now they stop it from working?

I have an atv 2, my tv uses componet, I have used it to rent and watch movies on it for a year at least but now it says this content requires hdcp for playback. so I paid $100 for it and now they stop it from working?
I also have the first atv, I get the same message

lol, I had to go look at the back of that, I've been using it so long with componet. I started getting the hdcp message a few months ago on it. been using it for years with componet now I cant. what I meNt on the AT2 is that when I bought it, I was able to use it, rent moves, etc. since I got it using an adaptor because of my tv. It just recently was rendered incapable along with the componet output on the AT1.
My tv is a 65" Hitachi rear projection, with no hdmi. It's old, but still has a great picture
