Can I configure my airport network remotely?

I recently set up a network at a museum with 3 Apple Extreme base stations as extenders. Can I configure the network from my home with my iPad?

Thanks for the quick reply. I will try to see if Logmein will let me access the Airport Utility on a local computer and check the network

I enabled the guest network feature on my time capsule. Can I configure my airport extremes guest network feature if I use this as a network extender using a "roaming" network?

I enabled the guest network feature on my TC. Can I configure my airport extremes guest network feature if I use the extreme as a network extender connecting my Airport Extreme to my TC via ethernet cable?

Unfortunately no, since the AirPort Extreme should be configured in Bridge Mode if it is connecting to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection.
The Guest Network option cannot be enabled when the AirPort is configured in Bridge Mode.
Another way of saying the same thing is that the Guest Network cannot be "extended" either by using an Ethernet connection or wireless. It is only available from the Time Capsule "main" wireless router on your network, not any extending devices.

I can not configure my airport express

Hi everyone, I'm currently in China and I bought and Airport express just to have a bit more signal in my dorm, however it's been 2 days and I can not configure my airport express everything seems find until the point that I choose join to an existing network and then choose my college and it get stuck for almost 20 min and after it says something about an error, then I switch off and it no longer recognized the airport it keeps looking for and airport base. Please what should I do?

The AirPort Express cannot wirelessly "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal from another router.....unless that other router is an Apple product.
It is highly unliklely...but possible.....that the dorm would be using another Apple router to provide the wireless service.
The Express is really designed to connect to an Ethernet wall port using a short Ethernet cable connection. When you do it this way, the Express can be set up to provide your own private wireless network in the room.

I can't configure my Airport Express after updating to iOS7

Since updating to iOS7 and after changing the name and password on my Airport Extreme I can't configure my Airport Express via my iPad (neither in the Airport App, nor under Wi-Fi in the control panel App). Please advise!

Try the "protected setup" method of configuring that adapter. According to the electronic book "Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network", that involves selecting the AirPort Utility menu option Base Station > Add Wireless Clients. TiVo may have more information on how to do that.

Configuring an Airport network with two separate nets...

Hi,
I need to configure my Airport Network to have two different local net: the first using 192.168.1.x, and the second using 192.168.2.x with the same gateway address in order that one net could not see the other one but both can use the same internet connection, connected to the main Airport Extreme through the wan port.
Normally to make it I work I configure the subnet of the router in 255.255.0.0.
But I can't find anything about the possibility to set up these LAN parameters (also the LAN IP of an Airport...!!!) on Airport Extreme.
Is there a way I can't find? I hope it can be possible to set these basic parameters like in every 30$ cheapest router...
Or maybe someone could help me to set up my network?
Thanx in advance for any reply,
Gab

I have DSL service from AT&T in San Francisco that includes five static WAN IP addresses behind a single Internet connection with gross speeds of 6Mbps down and 768Kbps up. This kind of service may not be available to you in Italia.
A fairly common use of this service is to provide a "public" Internet connection service for clients and guests while providing another "private" service restricted to employees and associates. Using up to five routers, you can set up to five different subnets that are independent of each other. All subnets share the same Internet pipeline, however.
In my case, I use separate subnets for various testing purposes. For example, I might use a separate subnet to test various functions of a new router without fear of causing problems with my primary network.

Can't configure old Airport express

Hi There,
I can't configure an Airport Express because Airport Utility was upgraded. I've found several posts on how to get around this but in each case, the software or automator script download links are either broken or the software/script no longer works.
I already own 4x Apple Wireless devices and am not interested in owning another one!
Is there a way to configure this device on a newer mac (10.7.5)?
Cheers
Ben

You must install the older utility.
Try this one and tell us which thing doesn't work.. later versions of lion use the same method as Mountain Lion.. Apple actually blocked it from working.. amazing people!!
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

HT5022 How can I configure an AirPort Express 802.11g on Mac OSX 10.8.5?

I can't configure an Airport Express 802.11g using a MacBook Air with MacOS X 10.8.5 installed.
AirPort Utility 5.6.1 cannot be installed on a computer running OS 10.8.5...
Help!

As you know you cannot administer the older 802.11g AirPorts from Macs running the latest OS X versions or from an iOS device.
You still have a few options to do so:
Use a Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.2 or lower.
Use a Windows PC running Windows 7 or lower.

How can I configure an airport express to connect extra speakers to those on my Apple TV?

Hi,
I'm using a net gear router to play music on speakers connected to my tv via Apple TV. I want to set up another set of speakers upstairs mot play the same music throat the house. Can I connect another set of speakers to the airport express and have all speakers running in harmony? any advice gratefully received!
Cheers, Dean

You can connect (up to five practically) AirPlay Speakers and stream to them simultaneously from a single iTunes host. Your Apple TV would be one of those AirPlay Speakers.
Each additional AirPlay Speaker would be configured to join the existing wireless network. For additional details on configuring an AirPort Express for AirPlay, please see the following Apple Support article.

Can't Configure New Airport Extreme

My new Airport EXtreme is operational and I can access the net work from both my PC and 2 Macs however I have been unable to configure the base station to move it away from 'public' status with it's factory 10.??? IP address and thus have an open network.
On initial startup with the Airport Setup Assistant on the Mac I get "An error occurred communicating with the selected base station".
I've tried all the trouble shooting re-sets and the Airport Admin Utility but with similar results. At one point on the PC I got the slighlty more informative "the base station is in soft reset mode but does not appear reachable with the IP address configuration of this computer. Make sure your computer is configured for a 192.42.249.X IP address so base station can be configured". Don't know what this means ....
All the correct DHCP settings seem to be in place but a colleague across the street with an Airport Express has no problem. I'm at a loss...

Basic principle - setup instructions are there for a reason, and if you don't follow them then the thing won't work properly What happens if you connect your cable modem to the LAN port of the Base Station:
- you bypass the router built into the Airport Base Station
- your Mac will be unable to communicate with the Base Station.
Neither is a good thing - and you need to get to the bottom of the problem causing you to have to incorrectly wire the Base Station just to give it the "appearance" it is working properly (even though it is not). Usually the solution is simple - cable the modem to the WAN port, pull power to the modem and the Base Station for a half hour, then plug power back into the modem, then plug power back into the Base Station. That's it.
Incidentally - a temporary fix is to (a) disconnect the modem from the Base Station, (b) power cycle the Base Station, and (c) restart your Mac. Your Mac will now be able to "see" and configure the Base Station. However, as soon as you are done and you plug the cable modem back into the LAN port and restart your Mac - no admin access to the Base Station will be possible.

How best to configure my Airport network - Advice please

Hello,
I hope you all can help. My local Apple reseller did not have a clue what to suggest.
I have the following hardware currently:
1 x iMac G5 with Airport Extreme card
1 x MacBook Pro
3 x Airport Express(w AirTunes)
2 x USB Hard Drives
1 x USB Printer
I want to prepare for the delivery of AppleTV and I also have a new Airport Extreme Base Station on order.
What I want to achieve is:
* a network where my usb hard drives & printer are availible to both computers.
* iTunes via Airtunes availible to 3 x powered speakers/TVs
* ability to stream dvd quailty from USB HDs to the MacBook Pro whilst I'm in the bath! ;o)
I will be connecting AppleTV directly to my TV and the new extreme base station will be connected to the ADSL modem.
Your ideas please.

Since both the new AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and AppleTV are pending, theoretically, you can connect the three AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) in "Client Mode" to the AEBS.
Note: Any device, including the AXs, that do not operate at the 802.11n-standard, will decrease the performance of the 802.11n network.

How can i configure autologin with network account?

right now when i go to user preferences for network account, login window and options are non manageable for network users.
im using network accounts on all public machines and now after reboot they all require manual logon, how can i configure autologin to use network account

Did you try authenticating with a local admin account to get into the login options from a network user account? Then you might be able to set auto login for that account. I've set network accounts as admin users on particular machines that way.

Can't connect to airport network (but macs can)

I have an airport extreme base station that usually provides connections to three computers, an iMac, macBook, and one pc. For a while however I haven't been able to connect the pc to the airport. The network does have security in the form of a WEP password. I don't know much about network security however, and the windows interface for wireless networking has different terms than that for mac. Even stranger, the PC doesn't even see the base station, nor does it see the network in the wireless network connectiosn window, but sometimes it does see the network (with a good signal) but it cannot connect. I have all of the software updated, so I don't think it would be that, but maybe there's something I'm missing? The PC lately has been connecting to other wireless networks around the neighborhood, so I don't think it's the network card either.

Wireless printer can't connect to airport network

I recently installed the new airport extreme (n) to replace my old router. I set up the wireless network with WPA protection and my computers and airport express work fine. However, I have been unable to get my HP all-in-one wireless printer to connect. The printer connects fine if I set up the network without security.
HP is suggesting that I set up my printer with a "WEP equivalent key" to my WPA password.
Can anyone tell me where I can get a "WEP equivalent key" to WPA? HP won't say and is suggesting I call Apple.

Simple answer is - you cannot. There is no such thing as a "WEP equivalent key" to WPA, because WEP and WPA are completely different security protocols.
Does your printer's wireless interface support WPA? If may be that it only supports WEP, and what HP is actually recommending you do is use WEP (instead of WPA) security on your base station. WEP passwords are typically configured on a computer (or other wireless client device) as either a string of alphanumeric characters, or the hexadecimal equivalent to that alphanumeric string.

Can't Configure/Find Airport Express

On Wednesday night, my Airport Express was working just fine as a client on my Airport Snow network. I just use it for Airtunes. My network is closed. Last night, iTunes announced it couldn't find my Express. Attempting just to do a soft reboot of it, I apparently did a hard one, because it suddenly showed up as Apple Network 6bd5d3. So, I went to the Airport Setup Assistant and started trying to configure it. First did 'Set up a new'. It finds the Apple Network, I say continue, and it connects to Apple Network, then after a few moments says it can't find my base station. When I try 'Set up an existing' it doesn't show the Apple Network at all. Nor does Airport Admin Utility. At this point, I'm baffled. Thinking it might work like my base stations, I tried connecting it directly to the computer with an ethernet cable, but that seemed to work even worse. I just don't understand why it would show up as a network under my Airport menu, and allow me to connect to it (although of course since it's not connected to the internet, I can't be online connected to it), and then have it not show up for Airport Admin Utility. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hello jvreagan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), to change settings.
