Airport Extreme will not auto connect after poewr out with USB Hub!

Hi all,
I have just purchased the Airport Extreme and have it connected to my ADSL router. All works fine but if the airport looses power (as the household power went off momentarily today) then once it powers back up it will not connect to the internet unless I unplug the USB hub connected to it first.
Anyone with similar experiences?

No
Your issue may have something to do with your ADSL router and/or ISP carrier when you have power interruption.
I would contact Apple to take advantage of your free 90 days of tech support by phone since your product is "new." Let them tell you what the problem is.
There are 2 Airport Extreme forums - http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=140

  • My airport extreme will not connect to the Internet

    My airport extreme will not connect to my toshiba router. I connected it to my office internet this morning but when I hooked it up at home it simply will not connect. I have tried resetting all the settings and have had no luck. It did work once upon a time. I currently have my airport express hooked up so I know there is connectivity.

    I could never figure it out after trying everything I could and going to the genius bar I ended up just purchasing another extreme.  The really funny thing is that I can set up a network between the two and it works fine.  I am using it at work now with out any problems so I guess there is really no loss :-?

  • Airport Extreme will not show USB drive installed Solved!

    Airport Extreme will not show USB drive installed Solved... At least for me!
    Here's what I had to do to make it work with the newest 7.3.1 firmware.
    Ready for this? No Joke Really!
    1. Connect your USB drive to the Airport Extreme.
    2. Turn it on.
    3. Open the Airport Utility.
    4. Go to Manual Setup.
    5. Choose Disks and File Sharing.
    Yep, we are going to set file sharing before we even see the disk we want to share!
    You (I) had to set File Sharing on and Share Disks over Ethernet checked as well as set the Work Group (In my case). THEN restart the Airport Extreme.
    After it re-started... My USB Drive was now present and ready for use.
    I also dis-allowed Guest access. I re-started ALL computers in my network, both Windows and MAC. The USB drive held and works GREAT!
    I know... Most of you thought this was a joke, It's not!
    I tried everything to get the USB drive to work and failed every time just like most other people. Doing it this way worked like a charm.
    Go Figure huh!
    Hope this helps someone with this issue.

  • Airport Extreme will not secure wi-fi signal

    I just had my AT&T DSL service activated, and I am trying to secure the wi-fi network using Airport Utility 6.2. My Airport Extreme is broadcasting the unsecured signal but I am completely unable to secure it.
    Modem and router are hooked up correctly. I have to configure the base station for the unsecured signal to begin broadcasting. If I cancel the configure, the signal goes away completely.
    So I configure the base station again, and I'm presented with a screen that reads "This Airport Extreme will create a network" and am presented with four fields: Network Name, Base Station Name, Password and Verify.
    I enter a password and verify it, and am then given a screen to "Provide my PPPoE information I received from my ISP." I do that, and it spins for about a minute and says I am connected to the network I created. Except there is no wifi signal and no connection.
    It has been like this for four days now. I am at my wit's end. ATT insists that the problem is not on their end. Any help anyone can give is appreciated. Thanks.

    So to be clear - you have a DSL modem from AT&T, and want your Airport Extreme to broadcast this signal as well as route it?
    You say you hooked up the modem and router correctly, are you able to get connection when plugging into the LAN port on the Airport Extreme?

  • My iPad will not auto-connect to my network. I need to type in a security key each time. Is there a way aound this?

    my iPad will not auto-connect to my network. I need to type in a security key each time. Is there a way aound this?
    Thanks

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • TS1398 Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 my phone will not auto-connect to the home WiFi network.

    I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now my phone will not auto-connect to the home wifi network.  Each time I leave and return to within range of the network I have to remember to manually connect, otherwise it continues to use 4G for data.  The credentials are saved (all I have to do is tap it to connect) but just won't happen automatically any more.
    Is anyone else seeing this problem?

    Tried the reset multiple times. No go. Before the IOS 7.0,2 update my devices were connecting to home WIFI eventually.

  • Turbo will not AUTO CONNECT to my car's blue tooth.

    Turbo will not AUTO CONNECT to my car's blue tooth. I have to manually do it each time I get in my car. HOW DO I AUTO CONNECT IT?!
    thanks

    No, Hyundai Veloster.
    Funny, cause I did see the forum on a subaru.
    It's connecting... I just have to do it every time I get in my car. I had no problem with the razor connecting automatically.

  • My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in.

    My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in.  I just bought it a few days ago. It has been working fine. I left the house for most the day and when returning home it would turn back on. I have tried to plug it into other outlets...nothing, I've tried the reset button...Nothing.

    That is reported here a few times.. just take it straight back to apple or place of purchase for immediate exchange.

  • Wifi will not stay connected after Lion upgrade - help?

    I upgraded to Lion last week on my iMac and now my computer will not stay connected to wifi...  it is fine if I restart my computer, but then it looses its connection, settings when it goes in to screen saver mode - very frustrating, please help!

    This has been well discussed on another thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191630?start=2055&tstart=0
    (There appear to be no moderators on these forums to make sure that new threads with the same topic don't get linked to a parent !?)
    Anyway... The issues appear for many to be related to a specific Airport card type & firmware version.
    I've had constant disconnect problems with my Mini since upgrading to Lion.
    My Airport card specs are:
      Card Type:                              AirPort Extreme  (0x168C, 0x86)
      Firmware Version:                    Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
    Connecting to my Time Capsule distributing on:
              PHY Mode:          802.11a
    The Atheros firmware version appears to be the issue depending on certain wifi network conditions.
    After some playing about today I think I've managed to force my Mini to connect on a better frequency, without having to roll back the firmware to the Snow Leopard version or mess with the Mini Airport card settings (via Terminal) by changing some settings in my router (Time Capsule).
    These are the changes I made:
    Airport Utility > Wireless > Wireless Options
    Set Radio Mode to 802.11 a/n - b/g instead of 802.11 a/n - b/g/n (Automatic)
    Set 2.4 GHz Channel to 13 instead of Automatic
    Set 5GHz Channel to 48 instead of Automatic
    My Mini now connects on:
    PHY Mode:          802.11g
    Signal / Noise:          -64 dBm / -96 dBm
    Transmit Rate:          54
    instead of previously
    PHY Mode:          802.11a
    Signal / Noise: -73 dBm / -96 dBm
    Transmit Rate: 36
    This appears now to be stable (no drops in the last 4 hours). It's a low transmit rate still, but better than before.
    The iMac is still connecting on
    PHY Mode:          802.11n
    Signal / Noise:          -69 dBm / -88 dBm
    Transmit Rate:          216
    and all is right with the world (hopefully for the long term)

  • Airport express will not stay connected

    I have a new Airport Express (802.11n) and it will not stay connected to my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

    I have returned the Express and reinstalled my Extreme. I found a "tip" page that suggested to put a sheet of aluminum foil behind the Express to concetrate the signal inside the house. This crude idea has not solved the problem. My MacPro is a 2 GHz Intel Core i7. Any further suggestions?

  • Captivate 7: slide with mouse will not auto advance after publishing

    After I export my Captivate video, any slide that has a mouse object on it does not auto advance. I suspected that maybe the clicking sound file default attached to the action may have become corrupted, so I opened the sound file attached to "single-click" from Captivate. In the VisualClicks folder, there were no sound files. So, I opened the ClickSounds folder and attached the Mouse.mp3 file to this action. After publishing the training, the slide still will not auto advance. The slides that do not have the mouse action advance automatically as they should. The sound file may not be the issue (going to try to uncheck all of the Mouse Click Sound check boxes and republish to see if that helps).
    Was hoping to find a solution for future videos.
    Each slide is basically a layer of audio > slide > png file > the occasional smart object and/or text > mouse. I have no quizzes or video.
    When publishing I use the following setup swf/html5 with swf + html5 checked and scalable HTML content checked. We use Google Chrome and I've had numerous people try my HTML link after I've uploaded all files and everyone has the same issue. 
    1- Do you happen to know why the mouse action would cause the slide to not auto advance, and if so please let me know a solution so the user doesn't have to click next. If the mouse itself isn't the culprit, any other suggestions on what could cause this?
    2- Is there a way to make changes to the audio or override the mouse properties on all slides? I tried right clicking and "use the current mouse pointer for all slides" but it didn't change any of the properties. Thankfully my video is only 110 slides or it would have been even more painful.
    Captivate 7
    Windows 8.1

    Of course! Here ya go
    For the record, I did create a new project with only two slides to try and duplicate the issue. I had the same problem. I unchecked the Mouse Click Sound check box, republished and the slide auto advanced. I'm wondering if a default sound file was somehow moved or deleted? I discussed uninstalling and reinstalling C7 onto my laptop, but that's a frustrating solution haha

  • Does anyone know if an Airport Extreme will support WevDav connections to a USB drive for iOS devices?

    With the possible demise of iDisk I was wondering if anyone knew if a USB drive hanging off of an Airport Express can be accessed via a WebDav connection? I know that iCloud will get better, but it does not feel like it meets my needs for a file store and I wanted to possibly replicate something like iDisk with the TB drive I have on my AEBS.I know one answer would be to get a Mac Mini and simply run Lion Server, but Iam looking for a way to host files that can be accessible (and automagically sync'd between my MBP and then accessible by my iOS devices. No, I don't want to use DropBox.or pay for Box.net.

    I was wondering if anyone knew if a USB drive hanging off of an Airport Express can be accessed via a WebDav connection?
    Sorry, but the AirPort Express will not support a USB drive, only a compatible USB printer.

  • IMac will not auto sleep after 10.5.7 update with Safari 4 Beta

    I've noticed that my new iMac 24" will not automatically sleep after updating to 10.5.7. Actually, that's not completely true, I've just discovered that if Safari Beta 4 (latest update) is open the iMac will never sleep automatically, but that if Safari is not open, automatic sleep works perfectly as it always did with 10.5.6. I've repeated this test numerous times and it's always consistent. Anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

    Sorry that I do not remember where I saw this, could be MacFixIt, but the advice that I saw for issues with the 10.5.7 delta that comes through Software Update for folks with 10.5.6, was to download and overlay the 10.5.7 Combo as Carolyn has suggested, and then to download and install the most recent beta for Safari 4.
    Of course this is best done without multitasking while the installations are happening, as well as unplugging and shutting down all other processes; external attachments and even Bluetooth and Air Port. Prepare for the installs by rebooting to your Install DVD and use Disk Utility in the Utilities Menu to verify and repair any issues with your boot volume, followed by rebooting into your account and using DU in Apps/Utilities to Repair Disk Permissions before and after the installs.

  • I just installed Airport Extreme.  I can connect to the internet with a cable but not via wireless.

  • My iPhone 6 will not auto rotate after installation of version 8.0.2. The auto rotate lock is off in settings and in the Kindle app, but nothing will go to landscape.

    Since the installation of 8.0.2 my iPhone 6 will not auto rotate in any app. I have locked/unlocked the feature in settings several times using the command bar but to no avail. I read using the Kindle app and it also is locked in portrait whether the lock is on or off.

    Actually, the OP tried that (six months ago) and it didn't work. They resolved the issue (six months ago) by updating their system software (six months ago).
