Airport utility can not find extreme station after upgrade to 7.5.2

i been using extreme for about 3 years and it was fine until yesterday i upgrade to 7.5.2, it result i lost the internet. opened airport utility from my macbook, said" it can not find any wireless device" but on the top right of mac windows, the signal sign is still there,
i suspect it is something wrong with the IP setting, but i has't changed any thing myself, maybe the new updates change it?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Your system details don't mention what type of Mac you have, but if you can move it near to the AirPort Extreme and connect an Ethernet cable to a LAN port on the Extreme, then AirPort Utility should be able to see it. Once AirPort Utility can see it you can begin to investigate the problem in more detail.

Airport utility can not find my airport express...

Airport utility can not find my airport express...
I was trying to connect a PC (Windows XP) laptop to my wireless network via the airport express.
I have a Mac with an airport that I use to get internet in my other room. I am trying to get internet on the laptop too.
I somehow manage to erase my network & now my airport utilities won't even scan/recognize my airport??
ANY help would be appreciated, mac helpline wanted $59 to help & I live in a small northern community where they do not have anyone that will address a Mac issue!!
Thanks for your time.

Thank you SO MUCH Tesserax for taking the time to help!
I powered everything down, slowly powered everything else up from the modem to the airport then the computer. I then reset the airport & rescaned it through utilities. I set up a new network & voila! wireless up & running again.
I am going to try to connect the laptop to the network now.....well, mabey tomorrow night, I've had enough for 1 evening!
I will update....or possibly be begging for more help...we'll see!
Thanks again for your time!

Airport Utility can not find air port extreme base station

I am running XP home on my computer and have an air port extreme base station connected to it wired. I have no problem connecting to the internet yet more times then not the air port utility can not find the base station. On occasion it will find it but most of the time it can not. Rebooting does not help.

I recently purchased one of the new Airport Extreme base stations and after carefully reading the instructions; I first installed the Airport Utility 5.5 that came on the CD onto my MacbookPro. I then connected the new base station to my macbookpro via Ethernet and power it up. I copied a previously saved configuration onto it. All my printers, IMAC and macbookpro were able to connect.
I then used my older base station and my airport express to extend the N and G networks through the house. My problem was (1) the new Airport utility would consistently lose the older extreme base station and the airport express, (2) An my HP printers keep losing the wireless connection to the new airport extreme base station. The only resolve was to consistently restart the new base station, after which (1) the new airport utility would see the older base station and express again and (2) the wireless connection to the printers would be restored.
After about a week of this, I removed the new Airport Extreme and replaced it with the older extreme (802.11N DRAFT) and de-installed the Airport Utility 5.5 and re-installed Airport Utility 5.4.2 and everything works fine.
Has anyone else experienced any problems with the newly released Airport Extreme (fully 802.11N) base stations and Airport Utility 5.5?

Airport Utility can't find base station

I feel like I must be missing something very obvious. But my Airport Utility can't find any base stations, even though I am successfully connected to this network, the base station is about three feet away from the computer, and Internet Connect has no trouble finding it and specifiying the base station's id.
I have just done a wipe-and-install of my whole computer; I've reinstalled all software from CDs or installers, and this utility wanted to upgrade to version 5.2.1 (it says Disk Version 2.0 on the disk) before running, so I did that. And no base station detected, despite rebooting the computer, and rescanning any number of times. I'm using OS 10.4.6.
What can I do?

There is something puzzling that bothers me, even though I have things working again.
I first lost access to the AEBS when I tried to use Airport Utility to change the security setting of my network. It has been on the default WPA2 setting, and I was wanting to downgrade that to WEP because the long WPA password was too long to be accepted by my Palm TX Wifi software. But the shorter WEP password shouldn't have been a problem. At the time, after my system reinstall, the utility and the base station seemed to be working all right.
When I completed resetting the base station with WEP, though, there was an error message, after which I could no longer connect to the network with my laptop (using the old password or the new password), and then the utility lost sight of the base station as well. I had to do a hard reset and start over. When I did the same thing again, the same thing happened. When I reconfigured the base station with the WPA2 security, though, it all worked, and my laptop could get back online.
At this point I tried changing it again to WEP, and the same problem recurred. One last time with WPA2, and that's where I am now, except that I was pleased to find that my PDA, which had just been replaced under warranty, has some newer software in it and it now can accept my passkey (?)-- my airport code rather than the 64(?)-digit number version of it, so it's working, too.
But apparently Airport Utility has lost sight of the base station again. I don't need it for anything, but this is annoying. What's more curious, though, is what was happening when I chose WEP security.

Airport Utility can't find base stations.

I have three base stations in my network, an old extreme, the new extreme, and an express. On my 17" macbook pro, the airport utility cannot detect any base stations. It can connect to my network, and surf the internet fine. It just can't find the base stations. On my roommates macbook, airport detects them fine. We are both running fully updated versions of Leopard. I have already done a clean install to see if it fixed the issue, but it still persists. The only reason this is annoying is I have lost my ability to stream music to the express station. Has anyone even encountered this issue?

I've had the same problem with my leopard machine.
I have an AirPort Extreme base station connected to the internet and an AirPort Express connected to my stereo set. iTunes couldn't find the express anymore, so I tried to use the Airport configuration program. That couldn't find any base stations (neither extreme nor express) although my internet connection was working (via the extreme base station).
Connecting using an IP address (AirPort config programm, shift-cmd-O) did work, so if you only need to reconfigure the base station you can do that without having Airport Config find the base station.
After restarting the base station my Mac found both the base stations. Go figure.
The trouble isn't caused by sleeping as my Leopard Mac isn't allowed to sleep due to crappy connections afterwards.

Wireless working, but Airport Utility can't find base station

I am having issues with Apple TV and iTunes that led to me investigating my new Airport Extreme base station (AEBS) as possible cause.
Oddly, I'm right next to the AEBS now and the wireless is working sweetly as I type. However, when I use the Airport Utility to access the base station, it can't find it - I can 'rescan' for all the hours but with no luck.
Any ideas what's going on here?

I've just encountered this problem for the first time. On my brand new MacBook Air (Leopard factory installed), I opened Airport Utility, entered Manual Setup, and restarted my Airport Extreme from the Base Station menu. It restarted, but once it was back up the Airport Utility could no longer find it, even though I was connected to the internet (and the Network preferences pane showed connection and a green light).
I have a MacBook (vintage 2007) that's still on Tiger -- I've never had any problem using Airport Utility from there, so I imagine I can still configure the base station from there. But I hope this issue is on Apple's radar so there'll be a Airport Utility update that fixes it.

Airport Utility can't "see" base stations after Leopard 10.5.4

After upgrading to Leopard 10.5.4, Airport Utility can't "see" Airport Extreme UFO version and Airport Expresses. But the Expresses are glowing green, so I assume they're working. But if they can't be "seen" when scanned by Airport Utility, they can't be added as speaker options to iTunes.
Have unplugged and re-plugged in power to Airport Extreme and Expresses.
Oddly enough, at one point the sound through my eXpresses would kick in for five seconds and then disconnect for a minute, then play for five, then disconnect for a minute.
This same thing happened when I switched to Leopard.
Any solutions?

Well what do you know...after a week, it just magically decides to work, without even using Airport Utility.
Boy are these Airports touchy....and unreliable.
I still want to know: What makes these things drop in and out???

Airport utility can not find airport extream base station

I bought apple airport extream base station recently. I download ariport utility ion my iphone. But the airport utility cant find my airport extream base station.

Power up the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 10 seconds then release
Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart again
On the iPhone home screen, tap Settings
Tap WiFi
Look for the listing of Setup A New Base Station
Tap on AirPort Extreme
The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme
When you tap on AirPort Extreme, that will get the setup wizard running. Follow the prompts.

Solid Green light at start up. Airport utility can't find base station.

Help!
I've got a problem with my Airport Extreme base station. It's not so extreme. When I hook it up, I get a solid green light and it can not be found by the airport utility in order to set up. I've tried resetting it, power on and off. Nothing. Any suggestions on how to start over or get this thing working?
Thanks,

David_957, Welcome to the discussion area!
Try temporarily connecting your Mac to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) via Ethernet. After you get it configured you can disconnect the Mac's Ethernet connection to the AEBS.

Airport Utility can't find base station, but station works fine

I recently purchased an AEBS. The network seems to be working fine (I have an iMac flat panel (10.3) connected via Ethernet, an iBook (10.3) connecting wirelessly, and a Mac mini with 10.4 connected wirelessly). However, airport utility doesn't see the base station. Should I be concerned?

Got my answer from previous posts -- had to do a hard reset *while the device was plugged in and wait for the flashing green light* then it all worked fine. thanks !

Airport Utility can't find Airport Express after setting up as repeater station

I wanted to extend my 2Wire-based wireless network into a specific room that never seems to be able to pick up the signal, and found the following instructions on how to do so on Apple's website:
(note: these instructions were submitted by another user in response to a question as to whether or not an Airport Express could be used as a repeater station for non-Airport Extreme-based wireless networks - linked here http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MB321LL/A?pqid=QY4CAJJC7KFTTD KYH72DKPXF4CAUA9D4J).
Yes, you can do this two ways: If you can connect your airport express to your router via ethernet, then you will perform the following steps in the airport utility:
1. Select your airport express.
2. Select manual set up.
3. Under Wireless, select Participate in a WDS network
4. Enter your network name, radio mode, channel, and security
5. Under WDS, select WDS main
6. Check wireless clients
7. Add the MAC address of the router
8. Click update
That's it
Now, if you connect your airport express to your router wirelessly, all the steps are the same except for step 5. In this step, select WDS remote instead. Everything else is the same.
I followed those instructions exactly with my Airport Express and, after restarting, the amber light is flashing on and off continuously and the Airport Utility can't find the Airport Extreme base station. What the heck went wrong here?

Update:
I restarted the laptop I used to set up the AX as well as pushing the "reset" button on the AX (first time - pressed it for 1 second, Second Time - pressed and held for 15 seconds then let go). The Utility still isn't recognizing the base station.
I also upgraded the Utility's software to 5.5.3 right before I went through these steps, and now it's not recognizing the base station. ARGH.
Update #2: I plugged the AX into my laptop with an ethernet cable and the utility STILL can't detect it. This is ridiculous.
Update #3: Not 30 seconds after update #2, it FOUND the **** AX >.< I'm updating the firmware, but I still can't get it to work as a repeater station if I have to plug it into my laptop all the time JUST to get the Utility to recognize that yes, Virginia, there IS an Airport Extreme.

The airport utility does not find my Airport Extreme. I tried to reset the base, but I can`t make it. What can i do?

The airport utility does not find my Airport Extreme. I tried to reset the base, but I can`t make it. What can i do?

Please perform a Factory Default Reset exactly as follows:
Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme (AEBS)
Wait a minute
Hold in the reset button first and continue to hold it in for at least 7-8 more seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AEBS
Release the reset button after the 7-8 second hold period
Allow 30-45 seconds for the AEBS to restart
Temporarily, connect a spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AEBS
Open AirPort Utility to see if can now see the AEBS

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
In AirPort Utility how is your AirPort Extreme configured in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, Radio Mode list? If it's set to 802.11n only the AirPort card in your G5 probably doesn't support that.

Airport utility can't find my airport base station

Im trying to set up a wireless internet at home. I have a comcast cable internet connected to motorola sb120 cable modem and I connected an ethernet cable from the modem to my aiport base station. when I open the airport utility in my macbook (also from my iphone 4s) the airport utility can't find the base station. the base station has a solid green ligh on and the modem "llink" light is binking amber. If I connect the ethernet cable frm the modem to my macbook I can get the internet with out any problem ...please help me set up my wireless internet with airport base station. ty.

Suggest that you try the following:
1) Reset the cable modem. There is a reset button on the back or bottom of the device. Check your documentation for the modem for exact details. In general, you press the reset button for a few seconds and then power down the modem completely.
That means pulling the power plug from the back of the modem or the AC wall plug
Leave the modem powered off at least 30 minutes
2) Perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme using the instructions in this document
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
3) Then power off the AirPort Extreme
After 30 minutes.....
4) Connect the Ethernet cable from the cable modem to the WAN port (circle icon) on the AirPort Extreme
5) Temporarily, connect another spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme
7) Power up the modem and let it run for 5 minutes by itself
8) Power up the AirPort Extreme the same way
At this point, the AirPort Extreme should be slowly blinking amber
9) Open AirPort Utility (I assume that you have AirPort Utility 6.0) and click on Other Base Stations, then click on the Base Station xxxxxxx representing your AirPort Extreme to start the setup process
AirPort Utility should suggest that you configure the AirPort Extreme to "Create a wireless network". Accept that option and enter the required wireless network name that you want and passwords
Follow any more prompts as required and AirPort Utility should configure the device for you
Wait 25-30 seconds for a green light
10) Disconnect the temporary Ethernet cable from your Mac to the AirPort Extreme
11) Log on to the wireless network that you named during the setup process
12) Report on your results

Airport utility does not support base station? Help!

I cannot get base station light to turn green. Blinking amber. I upgraded to a new Verizon modem and since then the base station does not work. What can I do?

Make sure the new Verizon Modem is not also a WiFi Router, if it is then that may be your issue. If it is indeed just a Modem then your Ethernet Connection should work and your base station should be working. You said "Airport Utility does not support base station". Don't know what you meant by that. Do you have an Airport Extreme, Airport Express or a Airport TC as a Base Station? If yes, you should be able to set up your Network via Airport Utility. If the Verizon Modem is only a Modem then unplug the power from your Airport Base Station, then unplug the Power from your Verizon Modem for at least 1-minute. Plug the Modem back in and give it a moment or so, then make sure you do have an Ethernet cable going from your Verizon provided Modem to your WAN port on your Airport Base Station. Now power up your Airport Base Station and go to your Airport Utility. Find the Base Station and click on Edit... Make sure your Network Name is correct, your Password is Correct, your Security method is correct (example: WPA2 Personal). If all correct see if your blinking Amber light is now Solid Green.
