Airport utility cant find airport extreme 802.11

Bought a 802.11 today.  Didnt come with a CD and so downloaded Aiport Utility 5.4.1 for windows.  I am using the dang router right now since I am on the internet.  Its amber light is flashing.  The Airport Utility cant find any Apple wireless devices.  Hmm.  Help.  Do I need to download something other than 5.4.1?  When I put in 802.11 utility all I get back is a bunch of patches...Help.

Thanks Hackintosh.  I got it going.  It would be enormously helpful if Apple would list the most current software necessary for the Airport Extreme FIRST when you search for downloads.  But that would be too easy.
Thanks,

    Airport Utility cannot find my Extreme or Express?

    Hi, found an answer to this on web
    1) Ensure that AE is sending a signal out (ca. 45s after at reset)
    2) To see this signal first go to the wifi and connect to the net that AE send out - name: "Apple xxxxx.."
    3) Start up Airport Utility and AU will now see your AE
    Finish and configure

  • AirPort utility cant find Time Capsule

    I have trouble connecting to my TC. I've got the newest version of airport utility. I've connected the ethernet cable to the Wan port and plugged in the TC. The strange thing is that I'm now connected to internet but the AirPort utility cant find the Time Capsule (and the light flashes amber).

    Thank you, that solved this problem for me:
    Problem:
    I factory reset two 3T time capsules. Now airport utility can't fid them. "No configured AirPort base stations have been found." I've performed all of the following:
    Power cycled the time capsules
    Restarted the Mac Mini they are attached too
    Reperformed the  factory reset
    Configured the IPv6 in the network settings to "Link-local only"
    Designated a router address manually for the ethernet port these time capsules are connected to.
    FYI: I have two 3T time capsules daisy chained to a mac mini server on a company LAN. Connected by a USB-ethernet connection.
    Solution:
    Tuned MacMini Server's WiFi "ON"
    Verified network setting IPv6 was set to "Link-Local only"
    Disadvantage:
    I had the MacMini Server set up as a wifi hot spot so guests could use the internet through it and access our shared server to move files. We no longer have that ability since the MacMini now has to be logged into the company wireless.

  • Airport Utility cannot find my Extreme base station but everything works!

    I must be going crazty, but I can't figure this one out. I've had my Extreme and Express configured since November of 2007. Airport Utility would always find them and let me look at the configuration. I don't believe that anything major has changed on my laptop. Today I went to run Airport Utility and it cannot find my 2 stations. Again, everything is working, I can surf the net, from various laptops throughout my house.
    I had to do a factory reset to the extreme, and thankfully I remembered the 10.0.1.1/public and was able to reload a baseconfig I had. After this I still couldn't find the extreme nor the express with Airport Utility.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Why would Airport Utility stop finding my stations?
    Any help would be amazing.
    Thanks,
    Frank

    My Airport utility cannot find my base station either, and I can't print. But I can access the Internet!
    The base station just "vanished" one day after working perfectly for about two months. I first discovered this when I was unable to print - I began troubleshooting by entering the utility, only to discover the base station was not listed.
    I finally deleted my networking settings in Vista, and then did a factory reset on the Aiport Extreme. I then set everything up from scratch again to successful resolution.
    Then again one day a short time after that, it vanished again! In frustration, I disconnected Airport and put it away. I tried setting up a new Dlink I purchased to replace the Airport, but the Dlink didn't work either!!! Dlink tech support couldn't fix the problem and suggested I get my money back. I then, as a last ditch attempt, reconnected the Airport. It automatically found the base station without me doing anything besides just hooking it back up!
    It worked for about two weeks and now it vanished again! The utility upgrade released the other day has not fixed this problem. I guess I'll delete networking connections again in Vista, and do a factory reset to Airport again.
    I guess Airport and Vista just don't play well together.

  • HT1178 Airport utility cannot find Airport Time Capsule base station

    I just purchased the new AirPort Time Capsule 2TB and after trying to set it up with my MAC I realized that the AirPort utility software was old and instead tried setting it up with my ipad that has iOS 6.1.3. However eventhow I remain connected in the internet, I cannot find any base station with the updated AirPort utility. Reseting Time Capsule and modem has not helped. Has anyone else had the same problem and how have you solved it?

    Sorry, can you please clarify, and provide a bit more information?
    You can "see" the Time Capsule using your iPad, but not using AirPort Utility on your Mac, correct?
    If yes, what version of AirPort Utility do you have on your Mac?  If you are not sure, open AirPort Utility, click the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen and click About AirPort Utility.
    Post back with the version number that you see there.

  • Airport utility cant find my new airport

    Hello.
    I got a new airport extreme N base station, and i currently already have one in my study (i plan on extending my network).
    the first time i turned the new airport on, Airport utility located it immediately. i then used the wizard to try and make it join my network (named Bluenet)
    but then it said error. and since then my utility cant locate the new airport base station. even when converted back to factory settings.
    can anyone help me with my problem? and possibly also give me a crash course in extending the network.
    thank you.
    Merry christmas

    place the secondary router in bridge mode then configure your wireless. Either create or extend. The trick now is to get AU recognizing that new router. Try using an ethernet cable to re-find that new router.

  • Airport Utility cant find AE during scan, but it works...

    I have my AE setup in in "bridge" mode connected to my network via ethernet that makes its connection to my d-link router via powerline adapters (the powerline adapters get over 100mbps and work very well for streaming to my BoxeeBox).
    I have 2 wireless networks in my place, the AE 2.4ghz and my D-link's 5.0ghz. My iPad and iPhone can see the AE when connected to either wireless network and play music to my stereo without a problem.
    The issue is my Win7 latop, the Airport Express utility found the AE upon initial setup but since then finds nothing when trying to scan. I have to manualy enter the IP address and password for the AE setting page to come up. The iTunes on my Win7 laptop also has touble seeing the AE. It worked on the first day when I had just finished the intial setup but now it no longer gives me the choice in the bottom right corner..
    I dont understant how the AE works perfectly with my iPad and iPhone even while connected to the Wireless network of my D-link router (meaning the powerline connecting is not causing an issue) but my Win7 laptop has trouble detecting it automaticly.
    Is there a way in iTunes to manualy enter the IP address of the AE so it can maintain a connection? And why does the Airport Utility have so much trouble finding the AE? (btw my Win7 laptop is connected to my D-link Router via ethernet when i trying to scan for the AE)
    thanks

    but when I pull up airport utility it can't seem to find the airport extreme.
    Close AirPort Utility
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 9-10 seconds and release.
    Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart
    Click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear
    Just below that, click directly on AirPort Extreme
    (The example below shows an AirPort Express)
    AirPort Setup will open automatically and walk you through the configuration
    If you want to use the iPhone......
    Hard Reset the AirPort Exteme as above
    Tap Settings on the iPhone's home screen
    Tap WiFi
    Under the heading of Set up an AirPort Base Station, tap on AirPort Extreme

  • PC AirPort Utility cannot find Airport extreme w/ ethernet but has internet

    Hello, I have set up the airport extreme to use with a MacBook. I pluged everything in just fine (PC using ethernet) but had to configure the base station with the MacBook as the PC could not find it using the Utility. However the PC is connected to the internet just fine through the base station's ethernet port.
    My problem is trying to get the PC (running XP home 2002 sp2) to see the Airport Extreme using the Airport Utility in order to start configuring network printing and eventually AirTunes.
    I cannot seem to find this solution anywhere. Please help if you can. Thanks!

    Hi I don't know for sure if this is your answer, but with your mac go into setup again. Under wireless tab, then wireless options , make sure 'create a closed network' is unchecked. This may allow the pc to see any Apple base stations. Good luck
    Can you please tell me exactly where to find the "create a closed network" box? I am brand new to mac and am still finding my way around. Thank you so much!

  • Airport Utility CANNOT find Airport extreme?  HELP!

    I just bought a Airport Extreme (802.11n) and my Airport is just blinking amber... When I launch Airport Utility and scan for a wireless device it comes up with nothing. I cannot get past this step to setting up the Airport Extreme. Any help would be appreciated!
    What am i doing wrong? I have a feeling the Airport is not sending a signal out... is it defective? HELP.......

    Welcome to the discussions!
    The AirPort Extreme broadcasts a default wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx, where the 'x" can be either a number or letter. Look for this network and log onto it (there is no password required). Then open AirPort Utility to see if it can communicate with the AirPort Extreme.
    You may need to restart both the AirPort Extreme and your computer.
    An alternate (and probably better) method is to temporarily connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to establish a direct connection. You can disconnect the ethernet cable when you have the AirPort Extreme configured.

  • Airport Utility cannot find Airport Extreme

    So, I'm setting up my neighbor's Airport Extreme, and the Airport Utility isn't seeing any airport, even though it's plugged in.
    Any suggestions? It does not bode well if I'm stopped at the first step of setting up.

    Plugged in? Do you mean into a electrical outlet or via ethernet? Does your neighbor have a wireless card and is it turned on? What are you trying to set up? Wired? Wireless? Join a wireless network? I understand if these are a lot of questions and you may not know all these details since it is not your own setup.

  • Airport Utility cant find anything after upgrade to 7.3.1

    After a very stressful morning getting my TC working with my Express as a remote i was then prompted to update my firmware to 7.3.1. when the TC restarted it disappeared from the Airport Utility as did the Express and I can no longer get it to see either of them. Any Ideas please

    If you reboot the TC and keep an eye on the Aiport Utility, does it appear for a short time before disappearing?
    If so, it sounds like you've been affected by the same issue as many of us have, which appears to be linked to the recent updates. Some people have had success by resetting their TC to default settings and reconfiguring it. There's a few posts on this on the first page which might give you some more info.

  • Airport utility cannot find airport express

    Just got new AirPort Extreme connected to comcast. It is hooked up to my new iMac via Ethernet.  Went to airport utility to add on an airport express -- it doesn't find it. When connecting it says "sorry error- try again". The tried connecting it by Ethernet cable to AirPort Extreme. It connected. Then I disconnected hoping it would still be able to be found. No luck. Any suggestions? Thanks. Rudy.

    Did you follow the step by step instructions that I provided above?
    Tap on Settings on the iPad / iPhone home screen
    Tap on WiFi
    Tap on AirPort Express under the heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station
    Follow the prompts
    No where did I say to "open" AirPort Utility.

  • Airport Utility cant find devices

    Very bizarre.  iMac can see all devices.  yet, the APU on my MBP, which is right beside the iMac  - CANNOT FIND ANY!!
    What the heck is going on?

    Thanks Hackintosh.  I got it going.  It would be enormously helpful if Apple would list the most current software necessary for the Airport Extreme FIRST when you search for downloads.  But that would be too easy.

  • Reset airport  extreme ac not finding old extreme 802.11n

    Have supplanted an Airport Extreme 802.11n with an Airport Extreme 802.11ac.
    I have performed a hard reset on the .11n.
    I have configured the .11ac to functionally duplicate the network as managed by the .11n.  Uses the same network ID as before. Works fine.
    I now want to extend my net using the .11n, but it is not visible to the Airport Utility. In particular it does not show under the "Other Wi-Fi Devices" drop-down.
    Any ideas on how I might recycle my .11n to do as I want?

    It is always a good idea to perform a Factory Default Reset whenever you want to re-purpose an AirPort router, since a "Hard Reset" may not fully erase the older settings stored on the device.
    Power off the older AirPort for a minute
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
    Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Restart your 802.11ac AirPort and the Mac computer, then check to see if AirPort Utility will find the older AirPort so that you can set it up again.
    If you have an iPhone or iPad handy, those devices actually work better than AirPort Utility on a Mavericks Mac, so you might want to try the setup that way.
