  • How can I share my Internet from my iPhone to Airport express network?

    How can I share my Internet from my iPhone to Airport express network?

    YES you can! - Gotta love those "you can't" answers from people who haven't even tried. ;o)
    Just have your Airport Express "Join" your iPhone. It will share your Internet connection through its Ethernet port. I currently have an AppleTV connected via Ethernet to the Airport Express. With this setup I have wireless Ethernet AND wired LAN connection. I can even AirPlay to the AppleTV and have Internet at the same time. Haven't tried a switch/hub but see no reason why it wouldn't work. This proves to be very useful to create a wired network with Internet from a cellular device without Ethernet.

    Can I use my iPad with airport extreme to retrieve files from a USB connected hard drive?

    Yes, I believe so. Please check out the NetPortal app. I don't have an iPad, but I use it on my iPod Touch to access files on my Time Capsule. It is available from the iTunes App Store.

  • How do I use more than one USB device with Airport Extreme?

    I would like to plug a shared hard drive into my new airport extreme and still be able to plug in a shared printer as well. How am I supposed to do this with only one USB port. Do I use a USB hub???
    Is it possible to connect a hard drive using one of the ethernet ports?

    To use multiple USB devices you would use a powered USB hub.
    You can connect a hard drive to one of the Ethernet ports providing the hard drive is a NAS and supports Ethernet connections. In that situation the NAS hard drive is just like any other Ethernet client and the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) does not handle the file sharing services. The drive itself would provide the file sharing services.

  • Can't connect to network with Airport Extreme

    I have just purchased and installed an Airport Extreme card (firmware version 405.1) into my eMac (with ATI graphics). The card appears in System Profiler, and I have attached the antenna wire. However, it cannot see my network (the only network in range). My iPhone can see the network when it is in the same location (as can a few Windows devices).
    I have tried turning off encyption, to no avail. I believe my router is broadcasting on a frequency my card can recieve.
    I have also tried resetting my SystemConfiguration folder. What else should I try?

    Thanks again for the suggestions.
    I had tried the router on 1 and 6, just tried it on 11 as well. No joy.
    It is broadcasting the SSID.
    MAC filtering isn't on.
    ...and then I put it back to channel 1, and now it's working!
    It's working now, and there doesn't seem to be any settings that are different to when I started.
    The signal is increadibly low though. When I put the access point antenna literally in the drivebay, I get three bars (out of four). A meter away I get 2 or 1 and everything times out.
    It appears that something is wrong with the antenna wire, or the connection to it. This was probably an important factor all along.

  • Can't connect to MacBook with Airport Extreme

    I just swapped Airport Extreme base with new Airport Extreme 8012.N and now my Macbook can't connect to internet, keeps cutting out and dropping off. I have an iMac G5 connected via ethernet to Airport Extreme and Macbook in living room. It was working fine with old Airport Extreme router. I also have an Apple Express (not new 8012.N ) but it just blinks orange when plugged in. Any help would be appreciated.

    You have to power down everything to start with. Make a clean slate so to speak.
    I switched from an older Air Port Express to the new Extreme. Run the new software and when you power back up the new base station should show in the window. Follow the steps. It made me feel stupid the 1st time through and I had to do it again. You have to take your bent paperclip and reset.
    After I got the new base station up and running I took the old Express and used it for Airtunes. At first it just blinked and wouldn't show up on the list of devices. I had to do the paperclip thing. And there it was! Green light! Follow the steps for Airtunes. Then I had to reconfigure my settings for my HP 3300 series wireless printer. That wasn't so bad, it all worked.
    The machines all work well; we all just need pay close attention to the instructions.
    I think that the Apple on line instructions could be a bit more clear. It all worked as it was supposed to but it was certainly a trial and error process.

  • Can't even get started with airport extreme

    I have 2 windows vista computers on a Dlink router to a cable modem provided by my ISP. All of this is on the second floor of my house.
    I want to be able to play airtunes via airport express downstairs with my stereo speakers. I could never get airport express to do this alone so I went to a retail store and was told by the MAC salesman I needed an Airport Extreme.
    I tried connecting my airport extreme via ethernet cable to my router and got a flashing amber light. I followed the instructions but now airport utility will not even recognize the airport extreme not to mention that I haven't even been able to add the airport express.
    I basically need help from step 1 as well as an overview of how I will be doing this.
    Thanks

    Hello cturnerlewis. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    To be able to stream via AirTunes to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) downstairs the AX just need to join an existing wireless network. If you current D-Link router is wireless, then the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) was NOT necessary. However, I will assume that it is not.
    What you will want to do, in a nutshell, is the following two things:
    1. Set up a wireless network with the AEBS, and
    2. Configure the AX to join the AEBS's wireless network.
    Here are the basic steps for both ...
    Step 1: 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBSn) w/Cable Modem
    Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBSn.
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    o Power-off the Cable modem, AEBSn, & computer(s); Wait at least 30 minutes.
    o Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    Setup the AEBSn
    Either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or, temporarily, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN ports of the AEBSn, and then, using the AirPort Utility in Manual Mode, check these settings:
    AirPort - Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Base Station Password: (optional)
    o Contact: (optional)
    o Location: (optional)
    o Set time automatically (optional)
    o Time Zone: <select your time zone>
    o Status Light: Always On (Default)
    o Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port (unchecked)
    o Advertise configuration globally using Bonjour (unchecked)
    AirPort - Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
    o Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Allow this network to be extended (unchecked)
    o Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
    o Channel: Automatic
    o Wireless Security: None
    Internet - Internet Connection
    o Connect Using: Ethernet
    o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    o IP Address: <provided by your ISP>
    o Subnet Mask: <provided by your ISP>
    o Router Address: <provided by your ISP>
    o DNS Server(s): <provided by your ISP>
    o Domain Name: <provided by your ISP>
    o DHCP Client ID: (optional)
    o Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
    o Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address
    Once you have verified Internet access, I strongly suggest that you use wireless encryption (WPA or WPA2) to secure your network.
    Step 2: AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - AirTunes Setup
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing AEBSn's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Using an External USB soundcard with Airport Extreme Base Station

    Hello, I own a macbook, an airport extreme base station and a Native Instruments Audio Kontrol 1 USB 2.0 external sound card that works like a charm with my macbook. I have a printer and a hard drive connected to the USB from the Airport base station through a hub, and I was wondering if there is any way I could make my macbook recognize the external sound card when connected to the base station's USB port. I would like to be able to play music wirelessly through the base station but the application/driver from Native Instruments does not recognize the sound card plugged to the router.
    Thank you

    To your question - it's highly unlikely, sorry!

  • Can I share my 250g Western Digital Mybook using Airport Extreme?

    I am a college student, and I just received an airport extreme base station for Christmas, but since I just returned to school, I haven't gotten a chance to test it out. I was hooking everything up, and testing out the base station, to get a feel for how it operates, and I noticed the manual mentioned something about sharing a hard drive via the base station.
    My question to you is... HOW?
    The manual is pretty vague, and I plugged the HD into the usb port on the back of the base station, to no avail. The Airport utility is telling me that the HD is connected, and the lights on the front of the hard drive are lit up, which is an indication that it is getting power, but I haven't got the slightest clue as to how I should connect to the drive.
    If anyone could provide some info for me, that would be fantastic.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who deems it appropriate to help me.

  • Is there some magic to using a USB HDD with Airport Extreme?

    I've gone into the airport utility and I the drive shows up there. So I messed with the settings because I want to share this 1TB Fantom USB v.2.0 drive that was formatted with NTFS and has about 2/3 TB of data stored on it. It has to be accessed by my Windows XP Thinkpad via wireless network as well as my XP desktop via my home ethernet network. The drive does not show up on my desktop or in finder. So I'm wondering what else needs to be done to have it show up as a shared device. I intend to install VMFusion and XP soon because I have a few Windows-specific programs that I own and need to run (Corel, Visio, etc.). But I should be able to see/access this drive right now on my iMac...maybe?

    Well... I guess that solves that . Hmmmm... I'll probably have to put all that stuff on another drive, then reformat. What is HFS+? I have several of my DVDs backed up on the Fantom and they exceed the FAT32 size limits. Is HFS+ something that will work with Windows XP, Vista, and OS X without a hitch?

  • How can access hours be restricted with airport extreme

    I want to be able to stop my kids from accessing the internet and bogging things down during the day when working from home.  Is there an easy way to do this with an Airport base station network or by setting up a guest network?  I have tried using parental controls but that limits all computer use, not just online access hours.  Any help would be appreciated.

    You do have a number of choices available to you to restrict access, either completely through AirPort's Access Control, or limiting what they will be able to access on the Internet. If your goal is to restrict them from particular sites or categories of sites, like P2P sharing torrents, one option is to use OpenDNS as your DNS provider. Through their service, you can easily configure what they can access or not.

  • Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
    Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
    A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

  • If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

    If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

    If you are asking about the Internet Sharing feature on the Mac, the answer would be that this option is not available for normal wireless, but it might work for BlueTooth.  Might be worth a try that way.
    However, if the Mac had an Ethernet Internet connection, then you could create your own "private" wireless network to allow wireless devices to connect.
