Alternative Ways to Configure Airports

Is there any way other than the Airport Setup Utility to tinker with the internal workings of an Airport Base Statiion?

In a word, "no".

  • Best way to configure Airport Extreme Gigabit 802.11n

    Hi, new to this router stuff. Just bought the Airport Extreme Gigabit 802.11n. Seems to be working much better than my old router furnished by my cable company. Still, wondering how to get the most out of it. So, have a few questions...
    1. How do I know If I'm getting the "n" connection. Don't know if the modem they gave me works with this. Is there a way to see which connection is working? G/B/N?
    2. Channels: I'm on 6 by default. Is it worth trying others to see if one is faster than another? How?
    3. Firewall: I was told the router already has a firewall in it. So, turned off the firewall on my mac 24. If true, do I still need to configure this firewall on the router side? HOw? To what? Don't know the best configuration to use as a rookie.
    4. Any other ideas to tweek this baby to get the most out of it?
    Thanks all. I'll defer to the experts now.

    Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on the various options available to you with using multiple base stations for extending a wireless network. If you have any questions or need further assistance please don't hesitate to post back.

  • Configuring Airport equipment without internet?

    I have some Airport N equipment that I have not used for a long time and I want to update the firmware on them, though I do not want to use them for my network yet.
    1. How do you update the firmware on Extreme, Express and Time Capsule units without them being connected to the internet? Can this be done?
    2. Is Airport Utility built into Mavericks the best way to configure Airport gear these days?
    Thanks.

    How do you update the firmware on Extreme, Express and Time Capsule units without them being connected to the internet?
    Cannot be done without an Internet connection.
    Is Airport Utility built into Mavericks the best way to configure Airport gear these days?
    Doesn't really matter which version of AirPort Utility that you use.

    Is there a way to configure win 8 Laptop to airport express?  I can see the connection to the wireless network, but troubleshooter suggests there's there is no gateway and of course no internet. The connection
    shows limited.  Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.  Further, should I simply buy another router for the windows machine?  If I did that, would it interfere with the airport?

    The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS.  This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
    You can connect to an external HDD via a  USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
    You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
    Hope that helps!!

  • "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."  I can see the content of the TimeCapsule's drive in finder and Time Machine but it no longer is making backups. Ideas?

    Bought new TimeCapsule March 2013. Worked fine. Now get "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."  I can see the content of the TimeCapsule's drive in finder and Time Machine but it no longer is making backups. Ideas?

    Make sure that you have AirPort Utility 6.3.1 installed on your Mac.
    AirPort Utility 6.3.1 for Mac - Support - Apple
    Then, power off the entire network...all devices...in any order that you want
    Wait a minute, then start the modem first and let it run a full minute
    Start the next device connected to the modem, which may be your Time Capsule and let it run a minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time the same way until the entire network is back up
    See if AirPort Utility can "see" the Time Capsule now.
    If yes, try another backup. If you encounter an error message, post back with the exact message.

  • Configure airport express with mac book air

    I am trying to configure airport express with a Mac Book Air, without success; the program is installed, but then, nothing appears to configure Airpor Express...

    Hello!
    I´m sorry it took so long to reply, but I´m new to these blogs; and I´ve been travelling a lot... Anyway, I was able to configure Airport Express, but I was told I could use it to expand my wireless network inside my house; which I found it´s not possible.
    So, I´m returning my Airport Express to the store tomorrow and try to figure out a way to extend my wireless in any other way.
    Any sugestion? Big houses are a problem...
    Best regards, and once again thank you!

  • No configured airport base stations have been found

    I just purchased a new Time Capsule and tried to set it up according to the included instructions. After the initial set up Airport Utility give the following error message: "No configured AirPort base stations have been found. The only way I can connect to the Internet is wirelessly with a Verizon MiFi wireless modem. Could this be the problem? If so, is there a way to configure the TimeCapsule as a backup only drive?

    I think.. you will get nowhere fast using v6 utility.. you must use the older utility.. 5.6.
    Apple have so dumbed down v6 as to make it useless.
    There are plenty of posts about how to install 5.6 under ML. I don't think it is that hard.
    Download the 5.6 dmg.. open the pkg.. then extract the files from the pkg.
    There is a free utility to do this.. as well as shareware Pacifist.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Simply load the files manually and then run it..
    I am about to try it myself but confess it has not yet happened.
    Make sure the TC is different IP range to the main router..
    Set static IP in the computer and it must work. By all the TCP/IP I have ever learned it has to be available to the computer.. but I will test myself.

  • What does No configured airport base mean

    I am desperatly trying to add a TC to my wireless system. I am using a iMac (2 yrs old). Everyting in house is wireless. My Mac Air, etc. We have uVerse so all I want TC to do is be used as a BU. I have plugged TC into power and amber light is blinking. I have downloaded Airport Utility 6.2 for a Mac. When I hit TC icon at top. a screen comes up shows green light for i nternet but the says "No configured airport base has been found". Why is this so difficult?

    There is no TC icon on the top of the screen. There is a Time Machine icon.. they are entirely different. Time Machine (TM) is the backup software in your computer. It is not connected in any way to Time Capsule.
    TC is Time Capsule.. it is a network device. You are not connected to it, because you haven't directly connected to it by ethernet.
    If you want to connect to its wireless and setup over wireless .. not IMHO the best way but possible.. go to the airport symbol on the Mac.. Go to join other networks.. and locate the wireless from the TC and join it. At the present time it is joined to the uverse router.. you cannot see the TC because you have no connection to it.
    Please follow the clear instructions I gave already in the other thread. Plug it in by ethernet is the way to do this.. in complete isolation to the rest of the network.

  • Need to configure Airport connection to access corporate wireless network

    Need to configure Airport connection to access corporate wireless network.
    Have imported my certificate from Windows XP machine into keychain and made Leopard always trust in order to authenticate automatically into my corporate wireless network. Also attempted to establish a new 802.1x connection via network preferences without any success. It keeps asking me for username and password even though we used self-generated certificates to log into corporate wireless network. Does anybody have any instructions on how to successfully configure certificates in Leopard?

    Welcome to the discussion area, jackregan!
    You'll need to "hard reset" the Time Capsule and then reconfigure it again. To do this, you will hold in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly, keep holding another second or two and then release.
    The "hard reset" will not affect the data on your Time Capsule
    Now you can open AirPort Utility and configure the Time Capsule using wireless (be sure to log on to the default network which will have a name like Apple Network xxxxxx), or you can connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to have AirPort Utility communicate with it that way.
    When you open AirPort Utility, click Continue to follow the guided setup to re-configure your Time Capsule. You would choose the option to "Create a wireless network" when you are given the configuration options.

  • Is there a way to configure Mac Mail ...?

    I have an IMac desktop, a MacBook & a 4th generation IPod Touch.  As it now stands whenever I receive email it goes to all 3 devices necessitating the need to physically read and/or delete the messages from all 3 devices.  Is there some way to configure Mac Mail to eliminate these steps or do I just have to keep manually removing mail messages as I'm now doing?
    Thanks for any help you may have.

    Create your accounts for IMAP instead of POP.
    Here's a little youtube explaining the difference (ignore the sales pitch).
    imap vs pop - what do they do?
    In Apple Mail preferences, Accounts, when you go to set up a new mail account you click the plus in the lower left as usual.  When the Add account sheet is displayed if you press the option key while clicking the Continue button you will be given a window to define the account as POP or IMAP.
    Alternatively if you enter an invalid email address into the Add Account window and juct click Continue (no option key) you will again be given the IMAP/POP choice.  This technique I think will work in the other itoys as well.

  • How to make Mac OS X Server auto-configure Airport Extreme port-mapping

    Mac OS X Server can automatically configure AirPort Extreme to make services such as iChat, Mail, Web, and VPN accessible: http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/features/networking-vpn.html
    I presume this configuration generally takes place during a fresh installation of the server.
    Is there any way to re-run this process post-installation?

    That page talks about Snow Leopard's Networking abilities, not Leopards.
    Off hand, I don't know whether what you describe is a new feature in Snow Leopard or not, but I've never seen Leopard do it (and, to be honest, wouldn't want to).
    In either case, it's basically just Bonjour telling the router to configure port forwarding. Given that, I'd start by enabling mod_bonjour in Apache:
    #LoadModule bonjour_module libexec/apache2/mod_bonjour.so
    but I don't know how other processes are doing it.

  • Alternative way instead of BDC to Improve performance  of teh ABAP report

    Hi All,
    Our requirement is to delete buffered entries of credit card expences for terminated/ inavtive staff of teh organization.
    For that we are using BDC call transaction in order do so for each employee (terminated/inactive). I mean technically speaking BDC is perfomred inside the loop.
    Can any one suggest me some other alternative way to do this other than BDC, so that we can improve the performance of teh report?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ashwini

    Hi,
    But  the FM /BAPI were using BDC call transaction internally.So same effect. No improvement in performance.
    Kindly suggest related FM/BAPI for creating/deleting expences for a trip.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Ashwini

  • What is the best way to configure my iPods and user accounts?

    I'm looking for a little guidance. Here is my situation:
    I am running the latest version of Tiger. It is currently configured with three accounts; mine is the admin. account and each of my two children have their own accounts.
    My account is the one that is used most of the time. All of our calendars in iCal are maintained here including one for each of the kids. Each of the kids has their own Contacts list in the Address Book as well. I currently have a 5G 30GB iPod Video that I sync with iTunes through this account. Shortly, I will be buying an iPod Touch. I want my 30 GB iPod to be the one that has everything on it; it will be the one we take in the car on trips for music. I want the Touch to have some, but not necessarily all, of my music and all of our calendars and contact information. I am looking to use it to replace my Palm as my PDA.
    My son has a 2G Nano which currently syncs through his account.
    My daughter will be getting a 3G Nano soon.
    I will also be upgrading to Leopard very soon.
    Ultimately, I would like each of the kids to have their own iTunes libraries for music and podcasts and to sync their iCal calendars. As I understand it, however, they cannot access their calendars from their own accounts under my current arrangement. I also understand that there are several ways to configure my Mac to work with multiple iPods.
    Given all of this, what is the best thing for me to do? Should I set up all of the kids' iPods to sync through the admin. account so they can get their calendars at the same time? Or is their some way for them to have access to their calendar information from their own accounts under Tiger (or Leopard)? And as far as my two iPods (the Video and the Touch), should they sync through separate libraries, or through one using playlists. I also want to minimize duplicate data wherever possible, be it music or records in iCal and the Address Book.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice!

  • What is the "best" way to configure iTunes on an iMac with personal user acounts so each user can access the media library but sync devices on their personal user account?

    I am trying to determine the best way to set up our imac so each user account can access the same media (songs, movies etc.) through itunes and also back up and manage their personal devices under their own personal user account.  There are 4 users on our iMac.  Me, my wife, and our 2 children.  We have built an extensive library of music/media together using the same iTunes store account.  I would like to establish a seperate apple id and iTunes store account for each of us going forward but have the ability for each of us to share our purchases.  What is the best way to configure our system and devices in order to allow shared access to media and at the same time allow for individual management of devices including contacts, apps, photos, etc. Please help, I would like to do this once!
    Thank you in advance! 

    OK, seeing as no-one replied (presumably because a lot of this information is on the forums in bits elsewhere) here's how I've got on so far.
    Applications - just went through them.  About the only one I needed was my media server app.  Just downloaded and re-installed, had a quick look back though my email to find the license key and it all went on fine.  Installation never seemed quite right on my old machine so solved that problem too. 
    Movies - New iMovies just copied across the clips and projects into their respective folders.  Seems to have worked but haven't checked it all that thoroughly.  Some duplicate footage here but I can trim this out at some point when I get a chance to go through here. 
    Documents - Just copied these across. 
    Photos - used an app called iPhoto Library Manager.  You can download for free but have to pay to use the part that consolidates your libraries.  Possibly if I was willing to spend a bit more time I could have got away without using this but given I didn't know the state of my different libraries and just how many duplicates I had this was too much of a convenience to ignore.  Also got my library into a state where I can now spend a few hours organising it a bit better with Faces / Events etc. 
    Not attempted Music or iPhone sync yet as been stuck trying to solve a problem with my power adapter. 

  • Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS

    Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS. This unit should be joining a Windows Server 2008 R2 network and needs to be shared with all users. This unit will replace a File server running Win 2003 SP2.
    Message was edited by: Hermann Koster
    Thank you very much for your reply. The idea is to decommission the Windows file server which is running Windows Server 2003 SP2 operating system but is not running as a DC but just a member server. All this server is doing is providing file server services so my idea is to replace it with the NSS 324 box. My only concern is that when my NSS joins the domain all my users would be able to see and access network shares transparently, the same way they saw the former W2003 file server. After I transferred the data from File server I will use the same for NSS that was used for file server as well as same IP address and folders path as before.
    Any suggestions or advice?
    Once again thank you very much for your reply.
