Airport Utility has trouble connecting to my Airport Extreme

I have a home network with two airport extremes (a dual band airport extreme as my main router, and an older one I use to extend the wireless network). I also have a few airport express units that I use for Airtunes.
My network is working perfectly, but Airport Utility won't connect to my main Airport Extreme. If I click on the router inside of Airport Utility and try to modify any settings, it shows "Reading the Airport Extreme configuration ..." and hangs there. After a few minutes, it gives up.
It is the new dual band version, and it is directly connected to my Mac Pro via ethernet. I can use Airport Utility to connect to all my other routers without any problem (and all traffic has to route through my main airport extreme since my Mac Pro does not have wireless).
If I reboot my main router, Airport Utility is able to connect to the router for a few hours before it becomes unreachable again.
Its not a huge problem ... I just need to reboot it when I want to modify / check settings, although rebooting the router does disturb a lot of things on my network which is annoying (VPNs, network drives that need to be reconnected, etc.).
Other than Airport Utility not being able to connect to the router, the router seems to be working perfectly.
The router used to work perfectly, but it started doing this about 3 months back. As far as I can remember, there were no firmware / software updates that might have caused the problem ... it just started happening all on its own.

Hi Shadow99999
Did you ever resolve your issues with disconnection between your Mac Pro and Airport Extreme? I am having a similar issue.
I have had the extreme for about 4 months and I loose access to the internet about once a month. When I try to troubleshoot the Airport Extreme it is usually inaccessible from my Mac Pro which is my wired access point. The Airport Utility times out with a network error number that unfortunately I did not write down. The light is still green but nothing seems to be working. The first time I tried plugging and unplugging ethernet wires and accessing wirelessly through a Macbook but now I just unplug the Airport Extreme and replug (a Microsoft solution with no problem resolution.) Today I had some unusual internet traffic on my DSL modem and I wanted to look at the Airport Extreme but again I was unable to get to the Airport Extreme with the Airport Utility on my MacPro. (Everything up to the latest rev. per software update.)
The lack of access between the Airport Extreme and a wired computer is really frustrating and may drive me back to my trusty five year old Buffalo Airstation. I could at least log in when I suspected there was a problem. Loss of internet access with the Buffalo was down to maybe once every 6 months to year and lock ups to wired access even rarer.
Any other thread that you found to help you resolve your problem?

Current version of airport utility will not connect with older airport express

I was given an older aiport express that I want to add to my network for iTunes sharing. I have an airport express and aiport extreme currently. I am running Mac OS x 10.7.5. My current version of airport utility does not support this express and it tells me to download utility version 5.6. When i try to install version 5.6 i get an error message that tells me to contact software manufacturer. I'm sure there is a simple fix but I don't know what to do. Any help would be great!

Hi
again , at least for getting 5.6 installed, look at my post earlier, or better to JEFFY's and download an much better alternative "unpkg", to get it ( 5.6) on to your mac.
Then, though, getting to use it to configure your older AP as I attempted is anothe matter. I didn't succed so far..
Good luck to you. If it works pse tell .
Thanks.

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
USB wireless "dongle:"
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
USB PCI adaptor:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner.

Airport Utility Disables Wireless Connection - No Connectivity Error

In setting up an AX to stream iTunes to my stereo over my existing wireless network (Netgear access point), it appears that the Airport Utility has somehow disabled wireless access for my laptop, as I now get a "limited or no connectivity" error message and cannot connect to the internet.
Airport Utility detected the AX, I set a password for it, directed it to join my wireless network, selected WPA2 encryption and entered the 26-character key to the network. AU then said the AX couldn't join the network, and wireless connectivity for the whole PC disappeared and I haven't been able to get it back.
It appears that Airport Utility somehow altered some of the network settings on my PC but I can't figure out what. I spent hours trying to figure this out last night and am at a loss. Help!

Welcome to the discussion area, mrdowntown!
When you are setting up the AirPort Express, you are using a default network provided by the Express with a name like +Apple Network xxxxxx+. You need to be on this network to be able to configure the device. Your computer was on this network.
Chances are, your PC may still be trying to access that network, and not the network that you normally use. See if that might be the case.
WPA2 Security would be used on the AirPort Express if that is exactly the setting the Netgear router is using. If the Netgear is using WPA type encryption, try the WPA/WPA Personal setting on the AirPort Express.
Unless the security settings match up exactly, the Express will not be able to join the Netgear wireless network correctly. See if you can find the settings page for the Netgear to see exactly what type of security it is using.
You'll need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to flash more quickly. Then try to reconfigure the Express. Unfortunately, if you don't have the right settings entered on the Express, you'll have to start all over again.

Airport utility can't connect to Airport express station

My AirPort utility has problems to connect to my AirPort Express station (old model a/b/g; old firmware 6.1).
First problem was, that it could not read the configuration. After a factory rest like described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044 the utility comes one step further and asks me for a password: I tried "public" several times, but it asks me over and over again for a password. What i my problem?

Problem solved: I downgraded the AirPort utility to 5.0. Then I was able to access the AirPort Express station. Upgraded the firmware to 6.3. Then the station was recignized by AirPort utility 5.3.1 again. Connected it to the AirPort Extreme as AirTunes-station. Works perfectly.

Airport Utility Can't Connect to Airport Express For Set-up

Hello,
I have a first gen Airport Express and and am setting it up via the Airport Utility on Windows 7.
The Airport Utility sees the new device, which is currently set to factory. When attempting to a connect to do the guided set-up it fails to connect reporting a "error -4". The Airport itself is blinking amber.
The kicker is though, the wifi works just fine. Just the network has a generic name and is unsecured.
How can I get the Airport Utility to connect to the Express so I can estblish a network name and a security key?
Thanks so much!

I think it was just a issue with the Airport Windows utility. My girlfriend came over and fixed it with her iPod Touch of all things, took her like 30 seconds to set a name and establish a password. Ive never had a issues setting up a router wirelessly before, in fact many don't even come with software any longer in favor of just instructing you to punch in a special url into a browser.

Having trouble with my Airport Utility not supporting either of my Airports Expresses or Basestation. Do i have to update Firmware of airports or is the issue with my version of Utility which i believe is the latest. Thank you.

AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion will not support the older versions of the AirPort Express.....model numbers A1084 and A1088. Check on the side of the Express for the model number.
In addition, AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion will not support the older "round" or "dome" shaped versions of the AirPort Extreme.
Can you check to see how your devices might be affected?

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(

Disk Utility has Lost Connection with the Disk Managment Tool

Hi,
For starters, this problem is not associated with the thread that Brian Z. has posted at the top of this forum. Having said that, here's my problem:
I had installed Security Update 2006-003, and Quicktime 7.1. Permissions were repaired before and after each installation, and all went well.
Some hours later, I was experimenting with Apple Remote Desktop. I had activated ARD in the System Preferences>Sharing pane, and it provided me an IP address associated with ARD. I then turned on Airport, and ARD provided me with an IP address associated with that connection. However when I turned off my modem connection, System Preferences>Sharing hung, and had to be Force Quit.
Console Log follows:
===== Mon May 15 2006 ===== 21:09:09 America/Anchorage =====
2006-05-15 21:09:17.488 System Preferences[2732] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/Menu Extra Enabler.bundle

2006-05-15 21:09:48.415 System Preferences[2732] ### Error:268435460 File:FileSharing.m Line:343
Thinking a plist had become corrupted, I trashed the following:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
com.apple.Remotemanagement.plist
com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist.
System Preferences started out very slowly, but then all the panes except Sharing would work ok.
I booted from the install disk and performed a Disk Repair. There were no problems reported.
When I tried to run a Repair Permissions, after about 20 seconds I got the, "Disk Utility has lost connection with the disk management tool and can not continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
I quit D.U. and the Installer, and was able to successfully run a Repair Permissions from the D.U. in my Utilities folder. It had no problems to report.
Continuting to troubleshoot the System Preferences problem, I then trashed the com.apple.preferencepanes.cache. This solved my System Preferences>Sharing problem.
However, I am still unable to perform a Repair Permissions after booting from my install disk (I get the subject message). Repairing permissions from the Disk Utility in my Utilies folder works fine.
Any thoughts out there on a logical way to troubleshoot where my problem is? Is there a way to get a console log when I'm running DU from the install disk, or a comparable source??
Thanks,
Bob

I found this crash log that was generated about the time I had problems with System Preferences hanging.
Thoughts?

My airport utility says it cannot find any airport wireless devices, even though I am accessing the net via my wifi. What's up with this?

My airport utility says it cannot find any airport wireless devices, even though I am accessing the net via my wifi. What's up with this? Also, I cannot connect to my Photosmart b209a printer, though a different computer - same Macbook Pro can. I tried redownloading the software, but in the setup I get a "device not reachable" message: "However to continue configuring the device in network, your Mac must have access to the device. So please make sure that your Mac has access to the Network ..." I've checked my network on the system preferences and it's properly connected. I'm on the net as I do this. Tis very frustrating, and any assistance woud be appreciated.

Airport Utility is for administration of genuine Apple Base Stations. If you have a different Brand, Airport Utility can do nothing for you.
I think they're using ethernet.
To connect a Printer via Ethernet, no password is needed.
We already tried the password for the internet and that did not work...
If a password is required to connect to the Internet, then WiFi is likley being used, and that WiFi password is the one needed for the Printer connect wirelessly as well.
What make&model Printer? Is it indeed a Wireless Printer? Most connect via USB, but that would force it to use a specific computer to assist in printing.

Airport Utility can no longer see my Airport Express Base Station.

Hi all the problem I have is as follows;
I've set up my Airport Express Base Station some time ago to print wirelessly from my HP Photosmart C4280 and it was working fine.
However recently when I've gone to print a document, even though the printer is working fine and the Airport Express Base Station is showing a green light nothing happens. I've gone into the Airport Utility and its say's it can't see the Airport Express Base Station (even though it still has a green light showing). If I unplug the Airport Express and plug it in again, the Airport Utility can suddenly see it again.
I've successfully gone through the reset process but after a few minutes the Airport Utility can no longer see the Airport Express Base Station which means I can't print a document wirelessly. I've repeated the reset process several times with the same outcome.
Everything was working fine up until recently, has the Airport Express Base Station developed a fault? or is there something I'm not doing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you're comfortable resetting all settings, unplug it, hold down the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug it back in - keep holding it for another 10-20s until the amber light flashes
Then, open airport utility, now you should be able to see the device either on-screen or in the upper left under 'other wi-fi devices'

AirPort Utility was unable to find any AirPort base stations...

I recently purchased a new AirPort Extreme base station 802.11n, and I followed the manual to get it set up. I installed the software, but when I launch AirPort Utility it cannot detect my base station. (I get the above error message).
I've got an old G4 desktop mac (QuickSilver model) running OSX 10.4.10, and it's got the original AirPort card installed. I've made sure AirPort it turned on in my menu bar.
I decided to set up my base station by connecting an Ethernet cable directly from my base station into my Mac, and set up my network that way. But as soon as I try it wireless, then AirPort utility looses the base station.
My base station is connected to a Netgear ADSL2+ Modem Router DG834. (The router and my internet connection are working fine). I've got all solid green lights on the router and the base station.
Is there some compatibility issue with my old AirPort card and my new base station? Or do I have a faulty card maybe?
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks, Tom.

I have the same setup as you and I had problems like yours. For some reason the old airport card doesn't seem to work with the new airport extreme base station if you are using WEP encryption. WPA works fine. In order to connect to your new base station so that you can administer it with the new Airport utility try this first: If the airport icon is displayed on your tool bar, click on it and select other. Enter your network name and password. With a little luck you will now be connected to your base station and it will be found by airport utility. If that doesn't work. Press the rest button on the back of the base station and hold it for at least one minute. That should completely rest your base station so that it is not encrypted. You should then be able to select it from the drop down menu when you click on the airport icon on the tool bar. Once you are connected, airport utility will find it.

Trying to set up time capsule but keep getting message stating airport utility was unable to find any airport wireless device. What do I do know?

Trying to set up my time capsule on my imac.
Keep getting message "Airport utility was unable to find any airport wireless devices."
What do I do now?

When having difficulties accessing the Time Capsule (TC) via the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the TC wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the TC's LAN ports.
Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
Perform a "factory default" reset on the base station.
Finally, if you are attempting to access the TC via an Ethernet connection, be sure that your Ethernet port is NOT configured for Jumbo Frames, i.e., using an MTU of 9000+.

"Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport after restarting"

Airport Express B has been working great for two years, and suddenly it can't be found in Airport Utility.
When I hard reset it, and re-set it up again, I go through the whole procedure, using the Utility to write the new settings : "The settings for this Airport Express have been successfully updated...waiting for Airport Express to restart" and at that point nothing happens - the light stays continuously green, no restart, and shortly afterwards I get the failure message "Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport wireless device after restarting".
I come out of Airport Utility, reopen it, and it can't find the Airport Express. Nothing. A £65 brick that has ceased to be, and this forum is full of people with similar problems. I've tried all of the fixes, including hard-wiring it using Ethernet, and again it goes through the whole procedure abut when trying to restart the AE, fails to find it.
Are Apple making any response to these issues ?

Thanks Martin - I can download it from the Apple website, according to this discussion :
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1085243&tstart=30
My concern is that a) it may not work with an Intel MBP, and that it may break my Airport - totally. Could you let me know what you're running it on ?

Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport device after restarting.

- I just updated the firmware on my base station (it a white dome?? i think snow?) to 5.7
- I am running AirPort Utility 5.5.2 (also recently updated)
- I have (3) AirPort Expresses (just updated firmware yesterday) and now are not being seen in the airport utility. They had been running for about two years just fine.
I have done a hard reset and was then able to see the Airport Express and go through set up. Upon finalizing the set up I get this message:
"Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport device after restarting."
This is happening with all 3 AirPort Expresses

Hello !
I had the same kind of problems when I upgraded to the latest version of Airport (5,7).
The Airport express seemed to have been disconnected, and nothing I could do to reconfigure it, after hard resetting it, seemed to be working.
I did two or three hard resets before remembering having been in a situation like that a while ago.
I went back to the Mini, **deactivated the firewall (in the "preferences" panel), then deactivated also the firewall of the Modem/router provided for my internet connection. Then I went in the other room and did another hard reset of the Airport express, came back in the mini's room, opened the Airport utility, the icon of the Airport express was already visible (which wasn't the case before... ), did the re-configuring.
The reconfigured Airport express reappeared very quickly, then I reactivated the firewalls of the Mini and the router. Voilà !
It took less than two minutes !
And since then the Mini have been streaming music without a glitch to the Airport express.
I hope this will help you and others !
