  • Airport Extreme turn off WLAN through timer

    Hello,
    I have an Airport Extreme and at the moment I unplug it every night, I am wondering if there is any software solution to turn the WLAN off through a timer.
    I have found this thread dated 2005 but no answer (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6624783&#6624783)
    I can't believe there is no solution. And if this is really the case, why the router does not come with a switch??
    Thanks in advance
    Youri

    YouriS, Welcome to the discussion area!
    The device is designed to be operated 24 hours a day/7 days a week continuously. Therefore there is no off switch nor is there any method for powering it off at a given time.
    I have never encountered any wired or wireless router with either of these capabilities.

  • AirPort is turned off on reboot

    Hi,
    AirPort is turned off on reboot.
    I don't have any setting for that.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    bwittbold, welcome to the discussions!
    From your description, this sounds like an internal power supply problem on your AX, but it couldn't hurt to try a hard reset on the unit as a last resort. If this is successful, you will need to reconfigure the device.
    Pull the power plug from your unit. Hold in the small reset button with an unfolded paperclip or something similar and continue to hold it in for at least 10 seconds while you plug the power cable back into the AX.
    If this does not help, it is time to call Apple support for repair or replacement.

  • Airport keeps turning off!

    I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. When I'm running wireless in my home, I experience a lot of drop offs from the Internet. While some of this is due to poor wireless reception, what puzzles me is that when I try to get back on, I keep seeing that Airport is turned off. When I go to Network Preferences, it also tells me that Airport is turned off. When I attempt to turn it back on, I am asked to verify my password and such. Still, Airport is indicated at not being turned on. I am forced to Restart my MacBook Pro. When I connect up to my router via an Ethernet cable, Airport is indicated as being on. Can anyone please offer me some assistance?

  • VNC with a computer who's airport is turned off?

    Sorry, this is probably kind of a stupid question....but can you use remote desktop to monitor computers who's airport is turned off?

    sure, as long as they're connected to the network via Ethernet instead.

  • After 15 mins  with no activity my airport express turns off how can I make it permanent

    After about 15 mins with no activity my airport express turns off. How can I make it stay on permanently ?

    Not sure what you mean by "turns off".  Are you saying that the light on the Express goes out after 15 minutes?
    Assuming that it is functioning correctly, the AirPort Express is "always on". It has no type of "sleep" setting.
    If the power light on the Express remains on, you have some other device on the network that is going into a standby mode or sleep mode. Check the Preference settings on other devices on the network.

  • Airport keeps turning off on my Mac book

    Why does airport keep turning off with no way to turn it back on except a restart?  I've seen countless posts on this, but ot sure if there is a solution.

    This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.

  • Modem Setup Says Airport is Turned Off When It's Turned On

    I'm trying to set up a new modem/wireless account using Motorola 2247-N8. During the se- up phase it keeps telling me that the AirPort is turned off, when in fact it's turned on and can pick up many wireless networks in my vacinity. This problem keeps kicking me out of the set up phase so I can't even set up the new network. I go into System Prefrences>Networks and the AirPort is there with a green light. What is the problem?

    If your MacBook (MB) is able to "see" and connect to other Wi-Fi networks then chances are the AirPort card built-in the MB is not the issue.
    By default, your Motorola Netopia gateway device has a local (LAN-side) router IP address of: 192.168.1.254. Your MB will need to be on this local network in order for it to find it. This may require that you temporarily reset your MB to using an IP address, like 192.168.1.100. You can do this via System Preferences > Network > AirPort. Easier still I would recommend that you temporarily connect the MB to the Motorola using an Ethernet cable. The Motorola should assign the MB the proper IP address and you should now be able to access the Motorola's web-based administrator interface.

  • AirPort Card Turned Off/ How's It Turned On?

    I've gotten as far as installing the software and hooking up all the wires. When I open the AirPort Utility window the base unit shows at the upper left. That's the only icon showing. When I click the continue button,after a few seconds, a message drops saying AN ERROR OCCURRED JOINING THE SELECTED NETWORK. If I click Manual setup the same thing happens. I have reset and extreme reset the AirPort. When I check the About This MAC list of components and click the AirPort Card the info says it's turned off. Is this the problem? If so hoe do I turn it on?

    Hello Milton hoskins. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    When I check the About This MAC list of components and click the AirPort Card the info says it's turned off. Is this the problem? If so hoe do I turn it on?
    The easiest way is via the AirPort icon in the OS X menu bar. Click on the AirPort icon, and then, select the "Turn AirPort On" option.

  • Airport Being Turned Off

    I am using a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.3. Every time I restart my MacBook, it turns off Airport. This is extremely annoying because I have it set to automatically mount network servers at login, but this will fail unless I an very quick and turn Airport back on before it tries to connect to the server. I don't know why Airport keeps getting turned off, but does anyone know what I can do to stop this from happening?

    we have been having a lot of problems with students turning off the airport and playing games to evade us from watching them. Is there any way to prevent students from changing the status of the airport ( on /off )?
    Would managed accounts be too drastic a solution? Perhaps you could switch the accounts of offending students to such a status.

  • Airport Express turns off

    Over the past week, I have noticed that my Airport Express (model MC340LL/A) turns
    itself off periodically. I have it cabled to my iMac and periodically use
    a wireless connection to my MacBook. I have to pull the power cable and plug it back in to restart. A pain if I fire up the MacBook downstairs.
    Is there some timer or setting that turns off the device after some period of no connections to an operating computer?

    The model number that you provided indicates that you have an AirPort Extreme, not an AirPort Express.
    In either case, there is not a setting or adjustment that powers the device down after a period of inactivity. It should remain on 24/7 unless it is physically powered off.
    If you notice that the symptoms continue, you should make an appointment at an Apple store or authorized repair shop to have the device and it's separate power supply checked for proper operation.

  • AirPort Extreme WLAN-Off Timer?

    Hi, I have a brand new AirPort Extreme and was wondering if there is any possibility to turn WLAN Off at night, automatically turning on in the morning? AE is close to my bed and I prefer having as little electro-smog as possible. Any ideas to do this via Software or Firmware?
    Kind Regards,
    Stefan

    There is no feature built into the Base Station that can completely turn off its radio on a timed basis. If you want to do this, just plug the Base Station into a cheap electrical appliance timer (which would of course turn off the entire Base Station).

  • 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 Express turns off unexpectedly

    Hy, I have a problem from a week with my airport espress.
    It turns off unexpectedly, when I connect it to the electrical outlet,
    it works for a few minutes (good wireless signal). After few minutes
    It turns off, like no power. If I muve the cable, it starts to work, but after few mitutes
    it turns off.
    I think thet the problem is related to the power supply (I tried to change several outlets).
    suggestions?
    Thanks
