Airport Extreme wireless no longer working. Need help!

Until a couple of days ago, I had my brand new Airport Extreme (ver 7.2.1) connected to a cable modem and everything was ok. My Macbook and my Airport Extreme were going wireless fast and easy.
After moving out of town, I’ve changed internet provider and I had to buy a ethernet modem, thus I bought a NETGEAR ADSL2+ modem (model DM111P) and suddenly I lost my wireless connectivity.
The modem looks working just fine. Infact, if I connect my Macbook to the modem NETGEAR DM111P with an ethernet cable, everything is ok.
Also, if I connect my Airport Extreme to the modem NETGEAR DM111P with an ethernet cable, and than I connect the Macbook to the Airport Extreme with another ethernet cable, everything is still fine: I can surf the web without any problems.
But when I try to go “wireless”, my Macbook is not able to find any base. I tried reseting my Airport Extreme to the factory settings and starting over, but It is impossible to “configure” the airport express wireless, because the Macbook doesn’t see it.
I’ve tried also with a wireless pc, but it was not able to find any wireless device.
I tried reseting my modem NETGEAR DM111P and my Airport Extreme to the factory settings and starting over again and I’m still not able to establish a wireless network. I can only access to the internet via ethernet cable. I’ve also turned off encryption. The computer still didn’t see the network. The IP address looks to be valid: 10.0.1.1.
I don’t know what else to do.
Is the Airport Extreme to be considered out of order and should I obtain warranty service or it is just a matter of settings? If so, what kink of settings?

I have been having a similar problem using 802.11g
with the netgear DM111p it's happy with ethernet but apparently has compatibility issues with AEBS
I found a number of reviews from AEBS users who have effectively given up trying to make this work

I'd say both companies should find a workaround

I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

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.

Airport Connected Printer No Longer Working - Please Help!

I have an Airport Extreme connected to Road Runner Cable Modem serving a the Main Base Station.
I have a Xerox Phaser 7750DN Color Laser Printer connected via USB to another Airport Extreme serving as a Remote Base Station.
I have an Airport Express operating as a Remote Base Station to extend the netwrok into a part of the house not reached by the Main Base Station.
I have a G5 PowerMac, G5 iMac, G4 iMac, and a G4 PowerBook, all on the wireless network. They are all running Tiger.
I used to have no problem printing to the Xerox Phaser. But recently have had problem printing from any of the computers to the Xerox Phaser.
I have tried everything that I can think of, but nothing appears to work.
Could any help? It is a big problem for me.
Thank you for your assistance.

i also have recently lost the ability to print to my hp color laserjet 3500.
i have a powerbook g4 and an imac g4 both using an Airport Extreme for shared internet access and printing to the hp printer via Airport's USB port.
i think i lost the ability to print right after allowing my powerbook to upload new software to the Airport Extreme base station. not certain that is the reason, but the timing is right. the base station still shares my internet connection (both computers can surf), and both computers can print when the printer is connected directly to a computer USB port.
does anyone know how i could revert to the prior version of AE software (on the base station)?

Airport extreme on the fritz? Need help

After 6 months, my airport extreme failed and went into flashing amber light mode. I did a hard reset and reconfigured everything and hooked back up. Green light is on and internet on my main computer (hooked up via ethernet cable and cable modem) is fine.
However, no other computers can connect to the wireless network anymore. All get errors. Now when i go into Airport Utility to try to diagnose the problem, the utility can't even locate the device (even though the device has green light). Error message says "an error occured while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again."
I know I have a network connection because the computer is working on the internet.
I have tried multiple times to power everything down for 30 minutes or more and restart, with no luck.
Any answers?

so what can i do know , port 80 not open either , i try to check is closed ,,, thnks
is there any way to make it work because i need foward ip address with 9 digit xxx . xxx . xxx
and apple extrme router start with 192.168.1 and i try to make them 192.168.100 it come back defaul
192.168.1.xxx
has to be 192.168.000.000 so i can fill in port on my camera to foward thnks

Airport Extreme wireless stopped working/not recognized by Airport Utility

I have a 2nd gen Airport Extreme that's been working fine for years (the last time I changed the configuration was 2.5 years ago when I switched internet providers). Here's my problem:
Woke up this morning and tried to check the weather on my iPad Air. No internet connection.
Looked at Airport: light is green, all cable modem lights are normal
Tried Airport Utility on iPad: initially couldn't connect, then asked for a password; never got any status/config info
Tried Airport Utility on my iMac, which has a direct ethernet connection to the Airport: same as on iPad
Note: Airport Extreme status LED was green throughout this
Next:
Unplugged Airport, then reattached power. Now LED is blinking orange (after startup); still doesn't appear in Airport Utility on iMac
iPad no longer recognizes my wifi; my wireless network is not detected at all by any of my wireless devices (ID doesn't show up in list of available networks)
Switched ethernet cables for connection from iMac to Airport: still not detected in Airport Utility
After this I did the factory reset (held down reset button); nothing changed, still not detected in Airport Utility
And then I had to leave for work.
Does this sound like my Airport has gone bad? The fact that the wifi no longer seems to work at all and it's not detected in Airport Utility makes me think it has.

Please start another post for your question, as you do not have a 2nd Gen AirPort Extreme...and...you are also asking about extending the network.
Include information about "how" the AirPort Express connects to the Time Capsule.....wired connection?....wireless connection?
What operating system are you using on the computer that is used to administer the AirPort Express?

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.

Can't configure Airport Express to Extend Airport Extreme Wireless

I have a working Airport Extreme wireless setup running 128-bit WEP. I now have a computer in a remote part of the house that doesn't have wireless, but has a wired Ethernet port. So I was told by a knowledgeable guy at the Apple store that I can have the AExpress pick up the wireless signal, then provide through it's Ethernet port a wired connection for my computer that doesn't have wireless.
First, is this true? If not, I'll return it.
Second, this has been a nightmare, hours and hours, and I'm pretty good with understanding networks. The book included with the AExpress is a joke, it basically just says "and let the software walk you through what you want to do."
The symptom is that I configure the device and update it with all the WEP 128 key info, but the light just stays blinking amber. I've updated the AE firmware.
What are the steps for setting up what I need? I'm using an up-to-date Mini to configure ... should the Mini be connected to the Airport Extreme base via wireless? Via wired? To the Extreme? Wireless?
This is clearly a sophisticated device with lots of promise and such, but the documentation and the number of posts to this board reflect that clearly there may just be too much complexity here for most people to handle.

Yes, this is true. You can extend the network wirelessly using the WDS feature of AirPort Base Stations. In turn, you can connect wireless or wired clients to the Remote Base Stations.

This Apple article should help explain the steps of setting up a WDS between two AirPort Base Stations: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107454

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware on Extreme as well as both of my Airport Expresses. Hard drive is USB connected to Extreme.

Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).
Does the drive now appear in finder..
If not reboot both drive and the AE.. it should now appear.
If it doesn't work with direct connection try a powered hub.. that can help.

Connecting 2 Airport Extremes wirelessly....can it be done?

Connecting 2 Airport Extremes wirelessly....can it be done?
I have 2 Airport Extremes. I'm only using 1 of them right now connected to a cable modem. It works well. I can get a wireless signal in most of the house and even outside a bit. However there are upstairs bedrooms on the other side of the house that I don't get a very strong signal on. No "big" deal really but here is what I thought.......
Can I set up my 2nd Airport Extreme to wirelessly receive the signal from the 1st (main) Airport Extreme and place the 2nd Airport Extreme close to the bedrooms with weak reception? I was thinking that the 2nd AirPort Extreme could just pickup and boost my original signal.
Is this possible? I can't find it mentioned in my Airport Manual.
If so, what is the term for this? That way I can search for information on how to configure all of this. If you have any other ideas on how this might able to work please let me know.
Thanks for your help

OK, you will need to make configuration changes to both of your Extremes.
For the main Extreme (the one connected to your modem now):
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab under the icons
Look on the wireless setup page and make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended". This may be under the Options tab on the wireless page. If you have a dual band Extreme, you can only extend the main network, not the 'guest" network.
Update to save settings
For the remote Extreme, temporarily locate it near your computer so that you can configure it:
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
On the wireless setup page, change the Wireless Mode to "Extend a wireless network"
You will select the name of wireless network created by your main Extreme. Enter the password if needed.
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
Update to save settings
That should do it.

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?

Airport Extreme Card for power mac G5 help!!

I have a late 2005 Power mac G5. I got an Airport Extreme wireless card. I put the card in there, and there are 2 wires i presume or have read to presume they are used for the antenna. I attempt to put 1 wire in the port on the back of the card. The wire and the port on the back of the card do not match or plug in flush.
Then i remember I have the "T" shaped antenna and attempt to plug that into the back port of the airport extreme card. again it does not really fit flush in the back of the card.
What do i need to acquire to connect this card to either the wires or "T" shaped antenna. Ive seen some installation instructions and notice that some of the wires have a more suitable connector. Please help! Thanks, ~adam~

That computer accepts a combined AirPort and Bluetooth card; the standalone AirPort Extreme card can't be used with it even though it may fit onto the logic board. Click here for more information.

I have an AirPort Extreme time capsule . I need to extend my wifi network range. Which devise is better ?? Airport express or AirPort Extreme ??

I have an AirPort Extreme time capsule . I need to extend my wifi network range. Which devise is better ?? Airport express or AirPort Extreme ??

Since you have the new Time Capsule, then you will need a new AirPort Extreme to match the performance capabilities of the Time Capsule.
If best quality is preferred, you will need to connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection between the devices. The advantage of doing it this way is that you can locate the AirPort Extreme exactly where it is needed...and there will be no loss of signal through the Ethernet cable.
A wireless connection will result in a significant drop in performance, but it might be OK for your uses, if you want to try it that way first to see if the performance is acceptable.
It is really important that the AirPort Extreme be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
A line-of-sight relationship between the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme would be the goal, with the AirPort Extreme located about half way between the Time Capsule and the general area where you need more wireless signal coverage.

I have an Airport Extreme wireless router & I can not connect my Kindle.

I have an Airport Extreme wireless router & I can not connect my Kindle. Also, my password will not work when a visitor uses it for a laptop (even a Mac) or any other device that uses the internet. It says the password is incorrect. I easily connected a Kindle last year, but I got a new one & now I can not connect wirelessly. I see no tab to create a guest network. I do not mind giving my password to visitors, but that does not work.

If you temporarily disable wireless encryption on your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), can the Kindle connect to the router and gain access to the Internet now? If so, then I would suggest that you reconfigure the AEBSn to use "WPA2 Personal" for the Wireless Security setting, and then, try connecting with the Kindle again.
As far as establishing a Guest Network, the AEBSn must not be in bridge mode. That is, it should be the only router in your current network and directly conncted to the Internet modem. If it is, then you would find the Guest Networking option on the AirPort > Guest Networking tab:
