Airport Extreme Wrong Region/Country

I use an iMac with an Airport Extreme (version ac).  If I go to Airport Utility for the Airport Extreme and then select the Wireless tab and then the wireless options oval it lists my country as Thailand.  While that is where I purchased the device, I now live in the United States again.  I cannot seem to reset this to the U.S. as the only countries listed in the pick list are in Asia.  How do I get another pick list which would show the U.S. as an option?  I am having networking difficulties and the diagnostics utility told me I had a country code conflict which needed to be corrected.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I am having networking difficulties and the diagnostics utility told me I had a country code conflict which needed to be corrected.
Thailand is not to different from the US.
The diagnostic program always picks country as major problem but it is not really as long as the two regions have near to the same channels available.
BUT I would recommend you lock channels.. and that means you should name both channels differently so you can control and lock them.
Start over with a factory reset.. When you do the setup do not use the names recommended by the airport utility.. use all very short names, no spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg Base Station Name.. AEgen6
Wireless names.. AE24ghz and AE5ghz
Set the channel for 2.4ghz to 11 and 5ghz to 149
If Thailand doesn't allow that use Australia which does.
If you run into trouble post again.. my email is open in the profile for now.. email me direct and I might be able to help further.. if you are really brave.
But other wireless issues are more often associated with that all round heaven for software bugs.. yosemite.

  • Using DHCP Airport Extreme WRONG IP ADDY

    I connect my modem directly to my computer and the internet works perfectly.
    I try and use my Airport Extreme using DHCP and my Airport Extreme ALWAYS automatically picks an INVALID IP address.
    I have no idea why the Airport Extreme is doing this.

    When changing network configurations, it is always a good idea to do a complete power recycle of all of your network components.
    Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
    1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
    2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
    3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the modem, 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

  • Extended router's network for Airport extreme. Works well with MacbookPro. I can print with notebook with XP SP3 and, I can see the USB-harddisc in the Airport service program but, I cannot use it. I have set filesharing etc. What do I do wrong?

    I connected the Airport Extreme wireless to the existing network of my router. At the Airport there is connected via USB a Printer and three hard discs. All works well on my MacBook Pro - I can print and use the hard discs. On my notebook and my desktop, both with XP-SP3 I can use the printer only. In the Airport service program - manual set up - hard discs I can see the drives with the correct names but I cannot work with it. I don't find neithe the Airport Extreme nor the drives in the Windows Explorer. Of course I've set 'filesharing' etc. What do I do wrong? Where is the mistake in the set up?

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • How can I change the country in my Airport Extreme wireless settings

    I bought my Airport Extreme in the US.  I live in the UK.
    How can I change the wireless settings to show the UK (or Europe) as one of the available countries?  At the moment it lists only countries in the Americas (Canada, US, Argentina etc...)

    Others may know better!
    Regards,
    Shawn
    This is exactly correct.. You can set the Time Zone to anywhere in the world but the wireless is regionalised.. it is part of the sales approach that you should buy the product in the market where it will be used.. the following are the regions.
    From the md0a file.
    FCC JAPAN ETSI APAC ROW FCC-DFS KOREA RUSSIA
    You cannot alter this nor do Apple offer this service.. although I am pretty sure they will have a backdoor.
    I have altered it for interest sake by soldering in a console port.. stop the bootloader and the following commands.
    K30A>var
    apple-sku=ETSI
    apple-sn=6F94sxxssxxss
    ethaddr=00:2xxxssxxb
    K30A>
    K30A>setvar apple-sku=APAC
    K30A>
    K30A>var
    apple-sku=APAC
    apple-sn=6F94sssxxxx
    ethaddr=00:2sxxxssxxss
    If you want the pin out to the serial port.. well I can even give you those. At least for a TC.. I am not in any way recommending this.. just showing you where it is hidden.
    And this so far would only work on a Gen 4 or Gen 5 AE.. I haven't figured it out on Gen 1-3 nor of course am I about to try soldering in wireless to a Gen6 AE or Gen5 TC.. doubtless it will come to that at some point.

  • Wrong IP add. ?: Laptop)))AirPort Extreme--Netopia 2241N--Phone--CenturyTel

    I have no control of my Airport Extreme now that it is connected by Ethernet to my Netopia 2241N Router. In my NETWORK Locations it is picking up the wrong IP addresses and the Airport is not being recognized by Airport Admin Utilities. But the connection works... I have DSL High Speed, but can not do anything at all with my Airport with Airport Admin Utilities...nothing! It is not being recognized.
    I was told by CenturyTel Tech Support the Airport has to be bridged to the Router, the PPPoE is to be obtained automatically and I do not have a static IP address.
    Please, can anyone help?

    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.33 GHz PowerPC G4, 12-inch / Airport Extreme / Netopia 2241N Router

    I found the answer to this problem with a great deal of searching and now I have my DSL High Speed and I am able to receive the signal from my airport extreme so it is now received by AirPort Admin Utility. The main problem was the Netopia was not correctly bridged by CenturyTel. It is now correctly bridged and with a few other adjustment w/ Network and AirPort Admin Utility, all is well.

  • I'm trying to extend the range of an Airport Extreme 802.11g by adding an Airport Express 802.11n. I set the Express up to join the existing network, but it does not make any difference in the range of the network. What's wrong?

    Let me see if I can help you with the basic WDS configuration steps:
    Note: To help facilitate the setup, temporarily connect the AXn directly to the AEBS LAN port using an Ethernet cable. Once the setup is complete, you can move the AXn to the desired location. For all configuration steps you will be using the AirPort Utility. Before starting, be sure to jot down the AppleIDs for both base stations.

  • My iMac can not see my mini Mac via Airport extreme using host name, only via IP address. What am I doing wrong ?

    I have an iMac and a mini Mac attached to the same Airport extreme. It would appear that Bonjour works because I can see the hostname of the mini Mac server in Finder on the iMac.
    But if I type in the host name (myminimac.private) in the Safari browser at the iMac it can not find the mini mac. However if I type in the IP address of the mini mac server it can see the see it.
    It used to work but I must have done something to mess it up.
    Anybody any suggestions ?

    You have the wrong card. You need the original AirPort card for your G4.
    ...how the **** do i get the Superdrive to open up so i can put in a CD/DVD?
    If the keyboard has a media eject key, press that. If not, hold down F12.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n reports incorrect Locale and Country Code

    I have just replaced my MacBook Pro CoreDuo's Airport Extreme card with a Mac Pro one that gives excellent throughput with 802.11n but, depending upon which channel it connects to the wireless router, System Profiler displays a weird selection of locales and country codes (e.g. locale: RoW, country code X2) .... perhaps this does't matter ... perhaps it does as other threads here report not being able to make a connection when an available channel is supposed not to be available in the incorrectly reported country.
    What controls this (incorrect) choice and how can it be fixed?
    System Profile of en1:
    Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x88)
    Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.19)
    Locale: RoW
    Country Code: X2
    Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 a/b/g/n

    AirPort-Guy wrote:
    The Locale is programmed into the card. If you bought your Mac Pro in a country other than where you are currently living, and you are using the card that came with it, you could be violating your country's wireless regulations.
    Actually this is not entirely correct.
    Rather the Mac sets its AirPort country code based upon the first beacon packet containing regulatory domain information received when the Mac starts passively listening to incoming packets after the AirPort interface is enabled.
    RoW does stand for "rest of world" and the "X" domains are temporary used ones when searching for regulatory domain information.
    So if you're seeing your Mac's AirPort card programmed to a different country code regulatory domain than it should be, it's because someone near you is using an illegal wireless access point/router.

  • I am trying to extend my airport extreme signal to another airport extreme can this be done? I have tried several time using the automated set up but it keeps failing... What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to extend my airport extreme signal to another airport extreme can this be done? I have tried several time using the automated set up but it keeps failing... I have selected every possible security/password encryption level... What am I doing wrong? If it os possible where can I find step by step instructions? Please & Thank you!

    The challenge with the older round AirPort Extremes are that they are "g" wireless devices.
    When you configure them for WDS, the speed on the wireless network is cut in half...and probably will not have the bandwidth required to stream video reliably from either AirPort Extreme since both are affected by the WDS setup.
    There is not an "automated" setup for WDS. You have to do this manually on both AirPort Extremes. Unfortunately, it is not an easy configuration and it's easy to make a mistake and hard to recover without starting all over again.
    Apple's instructions for WDS are here if you want to give it a try.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4262
    It is possible that it might work. Keep us posted on your progress
    Adding a single AirPort Express will unfortunately not help. You have to have "n" wireless devices at all router points.

  • Airport extreme will only get or send e-mail messages, or allow Safari to function for about 5 minutes.  After that it doesn't respond even though the green light is on and diagnostics says there is nothing wrong. Have to unplug again to get a response.

    For the past 2 days Airport Extreme works for about 5 minutes and then will not receive or send e-mail messages, or let Safari work.  The only way I can send or receive is to unplug Airport Extreme for a few seconds, reconnect and then work frantically for 5 minutes before it does the same thing.  The green light stays on and the diagnostics tells me nothing is wrong even though no mail is moving.
    Any ideas?

  • I put my password into my airport extreme and says wrong password what can I do thanks

    I put my password into my airport extreme and says wrong password what can I do thanks

    If your password is incorrect, perform a "soft reset": momentarily depress its reset button, and launch AirPort Utility. A "soft reset" will lower the Extreme's shields for about five minutes, so that you can configure it with a new password.
    AirPort Utility is in your Mac's Utilities folder.

  • Have airport extreme, square model, have a external harddrive to use as back up(formated for mac)hooked it up to the usb port in back. can't find it on my computer. what am i doing wrong

    have the airport extreme, square model. have a external harddrive formated for mac hooked up to the usb port in back.
    i can't find the harddrive on the computer for back up in timemachine. what am i doing wrong?

    First, if you are not aware, you need to know that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
    That may be part of the problem here, so if you want to continue to try this, you need to understand that there are no guarantees of success.
    Some users do seem to be able to make this work, but most have some problems and some....like me....have nothing but problems when they try this.
    If you want to continue to try this, the first thing to verify is that the drive is formatted specifically in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Have you verified that the drive is formatted correctly by connecting it directly to your Mac and using Disk Utility to check?
    Some drives that are advertised as being "compatible for Mac" are not formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Time Machine has no chance of success unless the drive is first formatted correctly.
    I would also ask that you consider leaving the drive connected to your Mac for Time Machine backups. That will be supported, and is a far more reliable way to keep backups if your data is important to you.
    Next, we need to know what operating system you are running on your Mac. If you do not know, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac.  Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

  • I'm trying to hookup my new AirPort Extreme with my net gear 7550 router/modem from Frontier. I'm not getting a wifi signal from the airport. What am I doing wrong?

    What am I doing wrong?

    I'm trying to use AirPort Untility to configure the old APExtreme to extend the network, but it won't let me.
    "Extend" is only used if the two AirPort Extremes are connecting using wireless only.
    "Create" is the correct setting to use since the AirPort Exremes are connecting using Ethernet.
    Configure the second AirPort Extreme to create a wireless network using the exact same wireless network name, same security setttings and same wireless password as the "main" AirPort Extreme and make sure that you are choosing the Bridge Mode option for the second AirPort Extreme before clicking Update to save the settings.
    When you do this, everything will act like one big wireless network and computers will automatically pick up a signal from the AirPort with the strongest signal based on their location.
    This Apple document more details on this....which is called a Roaming Network.

    Just bought a new Airport Extreme BS. After setup my iphone4 won't find the network (not even with manual entries), but my iMac (2009) does. What is wrong?

    Well, after another call with Apple support and the engineers, no success.  After spending over 20 hours trying to debug this, I give up.  Apple was basically fishing for a solution with trial-and-error settings on the iphone.  Then they wanted me to plug in software to log my iphone connections to the router, etc, etc., etc., at which point I decided I no longer wanted to participate in their testing process and will simply return the router.
    25 hours of my life I'll never get back.
    Big bummer, and frustrating for all the obvious reasons.
