AirPort Utility does not see AirPort Extreme Base in G5 but see it in PB G4

Moreover I cannot lease an IP from AirPort Extreme Base with my G5, I must use manual IP set in order to connect. Every things works fine with the PB G4 which had an import setting from the G5 before the trouble began.

Sorry I had so many change in Hardware I have an AirPort Extreme Base and AirPort Utility works fine with the PowerBook G4. When you open Network Preferences and click advanced you will see TCP/IP
if you open it you see configure IPv4 you should Using DHCP.

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

HT1998 My iPAD can use the internet through my airport extreme, but the airport utility does not see it so I can't create a guest password. What am I doing wrong?

My iPAD can use the internet through my Airport Extreme, but the Airport Utility does not see the device so I can't set a guest password.

If your Mac is using the Lion operating system with recent updates, it will be necessary to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
Select the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
Click the Wireless Network Options button
Remove the check mark next to Create a closed network
Click Done, then click Update to save the new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart

Windows 7 airport utility does not recognize my airport extreme

My iphone connects to my airport extreme and the airport utility sees it. So does my ipad and my friends laptop.
When I use wifi or wired connection (to lan port) from Windows 7 laptop to my airport extreme. The airport utility does not "see the extreme.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled the following:
- bonjour
- airport utility
- itunes.
I've wasted 3 hours on this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.....

UPDATE
* I located the IP address and admin password of the airport extreme and was able to log into to the (File / configure other) airport extreme.
I believe it's a W7 bonjour issue.
As you can see in my attachments, Bonjour is installed however msconfig running services show it as stopped. I can't get it to start.
** How can I force bonjour to start? **
Here are my replies to your recommended steps:
What version extreme are you talking about? Actual model A1xxx from the base is a big help.
- I forgot to check this
Step 1.. Ping.. Ping is your most important tool to find things on a network.
Open a command window and type ping 10.0.1.1 (or whatever is the current IP of the extreme).
- Yes, I can ping it.
Please turn off all firewalls.
- Yes, firewall is off
Make sure the win7 is not in homegroup.
- done.
Make sure win7 is set to home.. not work or public for location of the network.
- done.
Step 2. .. This assumes you now have ping response.
In whatever airport utility you like, reset the extreme to use all SMB names.
- WHERE do I make these changes?

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.

My airport utility does not find my airport express device

My airport utility does not find my airport express device

In order for the AirPort Utility on your iOS device to find the Express, both need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. By default, the Express will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Can you iOS device find this network?

Airport utility will not detect airport express, there is no green light on airlport express solid yellow then just a momentary green

I had airport express set up for a wireless network in a hotel room. Forgot password when I got home and reset but now the yellow light stays on with only a momentary green then back to solid yellow. Any ideas. Airport utility does not see it.

Unfortunately, this type of symptom is usually a signal that there is an internal electrical problem with the Express.
Hopefully, it is simply locked up and can be reset.
Try a Factory Default Reset as follows:
Power down the AirPort Express
Leave it off at least 10 minutes, longer will not hurt
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it another 10-12 seconds while you plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button
Allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart.
If things are back to normal, you will see a slow blinking amber light after 40-45 seconds.
If you continue to see the solid amber with short green flash after a few reset tries, I am afraid that the device has failed and will need to be replaced.

Airport Utility does not see Airport Extreme Base Station

Purchased Airport Extreme yesterday at Apple Store to replace old Netgear Router. Wanted wireless network to work with 2 identical HP Laptops running XP with SP3 and 2 iPod touches, and possible future purchases of iPad 2 and Apple TV. Installed Airport Utility software from CD on Dell Studio running Windows 7. Connected Airport Extreme to cable modem and Dell Studio. Ran Airport Utility software to configure Base Station but it did not recognize the Base Station. Base Station had blinking amber light. Did have internet connectivity on Dell Studio, and wireless internet connectivity on 2 iPod touches, and on one HP Laptop. No wireless internet on other HP Laptop. But wireless internet connection was unsecured and Airport Utility did not see Airport Extreme so could not configure it to make it secure. Contacted Apple Customer support. After 30-40 minutes of attempting several different possible fixes only able to use Airport Utility to configure Airport Extreme remotely, wirelessly, from one HP Laptop, not the Dell Studio that is directly connected to the base station. Now that the base station is configured the network is secure. However, second HP Laptop cannot connect to primary wireless network. I created password protected "Guest" network using Airport Utility, and laptop is able to connect to this Guest network. From reviewing forums am now able to configure Airport Extreme with Airport Utility by using "Configure other" on Dell computer. But utility cannot find device by scanning. Would like to find way to (1) have Airport Utility on Windows 7 Dell see Airport Extreme by scanning and not using "configure other," and (2) have 2nd HP Laptop connect to primary network and not "guest' network. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Bob - Thanks so much for your quick reply. I followed your suggestions and, to go into perhaps unnecessary detail, I'll write what I did. I completely disconnected the Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) from my computer. I disabled Windows Firewall, uninstalled my anti-virus program, and uninstalled Airport Utility and Bonjour, recycled by cable modem (took out the battery and unplugged it for about 20 seconds), then restarted my computer. After the computer booted up, I verified that windows firewall was disabled, reinstalled Airport Utility and Bonjour, then reconnected the cable connecting the AEBS to the computer (to one of the three ethernet ports, and I tried each of them in case one was faulty) but not to the cable modem as my firewall was disabled and had no anti-virus software. I also reconnected the AEBS power chord. I opened the newly reinstalled Airport Utility software and it did not find the base station. Only when I used "configure other" was I able to access the AEBS. I recycled the modem again, but that did not help. I turned on the firewall, installed anti-virus software, connected the AEBS to the modem, the light turned green, and I was able to access the internet on the primary computer and the wireless network gave me internet access on my laptops. But I was still not able to have my main computer, the one directly connected to the AEBS able to see it, and configure it, without utilizing "configure other."
Also, any idea why one of my laptops can only access the "guest" network? When it attempts to connect to the primary network it will stay on "acquiring network address" for what seems a few minutes, then switch to the "guest" network and connect immediately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Internet working by Airport Utility does not see my Apple routers

I have a home network with a Time Capsule, Airport Extreme and Airport Express all connected via WDS. I recently added the Airport Express to the other two. Not long after, I noticed that my auto Time Machine backups weren't working anymore. When I use the Airport Utility, it says it is unable to find any Apple wireless devices. The thing is I am connected to that network wirelessly, Internet is working, green lights on all routers, and I can see other Macs on the network. I try rescanning but don't see it.
When I just logged onto the network with a different computer, for a brief moment I saw all 3 routers in Airport utility on this other machine, all with green lights, but then they disappeared.
Any ideas?

I thought I'd follow up my own post in case others end up having the same problem. I think the issue I've run into is when you have a Time Capsule participating in a WDS. Since I have an 802.11g AX, I have to use WDS rather than 'extend' the network to connect them. For some reason when I do that, none of my laptops see either router in airport utility anymore, and Time Capsule won't do backups, even though network connectivity and internet use is fine. I should note that I also have an AE 'extending' the network on N. When I removed the WDS and just have the two 'n' routers connected via 'extend', all went back to normal. Odd...

HT3728 airport utility does not see my time capsule

I got a Time Capsule for Christmas, have hooked it up, turned it on, then the Airport Utility. The airport utility has not found it - I have reset it using the button on the back several times and still nothing. I have also restarted my computer, which is a new macbook pro, but nothing.
Advice please! I am new to Mac and am quite frustrated, considering returning the Time Capsule, if I can ...

That was not helpful of Apple at all, as this is a much trickier setup..
I have just posted details in another thread. Longish post I am not sure how to reference a particular post.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3528704?tstart=0
Please follow those instructions to load 5.6 airport utility.. as you will find it much better.
In your case you will need to do the same thing but on the airport setup.. which is another layer in to ethernet.
But the idea is the same.. do not use automatic setup of the wireless IP settings.. you need to do it manually but it is relatively easy. Again you need to make sure your ISP is not using a 10.x.x.x address as many do.. the cheap skates are saving IP addresses. If they do that you will need to use manual setup of the TC as well.
You will still want to do the setup of the TC by ethernet.. but can use wireless once it is done.
Exactly as in the other thread, go to airport in network preference and go to the airport setup, then fix the IP address as I have shown.
If you need more info try to ask specific questions .. screenshots also help.

The AirPort Utility does not recognize and show the basestation until I reboot my laptop.

I have an issue doing changes to my just recently bought Airport Extreme basestation through Airport Utility (the latest version).
Wireless connection is perfect but my Airport Utility cannot recognise the basestation until I reboot my laptop. Then everything works find until the next time.
Normally I put my laptop to hibernate mode when I am not using it. When I activate it again and start Airport Utility I cannot see the basestation unless I reboot my laptop.
Can anyone help me!

In order for the AirPort Utility to "find" the base station, it requires certain ports open on your Win7 laptop's software firewall. It may be possible when the laptop goes into hibernation mode, that these ports cannot be opened when the laptop "awakes" ... and thus, why you find yourself having to restart it.
I would recommend temporarily disabling the Win7 software firewall. Let let laptop go into hibernation or "force" it to go into hibernation, and then, see if you can access the base station through the utility after it awakes.

Airport Setup Utility does not find Airport Express

I have an airport extreme connect to my iMac and today installed an airport express in another room so I can use a printer and speakers for piping iTunes to the other room.
I connected my printer to the Airport Express and plugged the airport express into the socket to power it up. After initially showing a green light, then solid yellow, the airport express showed a blinking yellow light. The airport express is only located 10 feet from my airport extreme base station.
The Airport Setup Utility does not find an extpress in the area and I have even done a hard restart on the express to see if this fixes the problem.
Am I missing anything with the configuration of the airport express? Thanks for your help.

Ahh, I have the same problem... my airport keeps stopping and starting. I then tried using the setup utility with with express and it cannot find it. I tried rescanning, but nothing.

Utility does not recognize airport express

my wifi works normally but the utility is unable to recognize the airport express

I do not see a menu in the airport utility, but there is a tool bar.
The menus.....like File, Window, Edit, Help, etc are all located where menus are normally located.....at the very top of the computer screen. It sounds like you are looking at the AirPort Utility window in the middle of the screen.
Did you power off the restart both the PC and the AirPort Express? If you have done this, and the AirPort Express does not appear when you open AirPort Utility, then more troubleshooting will be required.
If AirPort Utility on your PC is communicating with the AirPort Express, the window in the center of the screen will look similar to this when AirPort Utility is first opened, except that you will see a listing for the AirPort Express:

Airport Utility does not see Base Station but I'm still online

I have an original airport base station and just downloaded Airport Utility 5.5.1
The base station is working because I'm online with it posting this thread.
But Airport Utility 5.5.1 does NOT see it...
The strange thing is that I have one of the early dome Airport Extremes here as well. That one IS recognized but the Airport Utility.
Anyone have any suggestions as to why the original Airport is not showing up in the utility even when I know it's obviously being seen by my card and connecting to the web?
Thanks
g

Did you power cycle your network as follows?
Power everything on the network down, order is not important
Wait a few minutes, then start the modem first and let it run a few moments by itself.
Then start the next device connected to the modem and let it run a few moments.
Then start each device the same way until everything is up on the network.
