Can I undo the firmware update to airport extreme?

Evidently the update to the wifi card screwed up my connection to a dlink router. I don't have access to the router to update firmware so I'm wondering if I can install the previous firmware version?  The router see the computer and it works when I acess apple support under the restart-option command. Apple support wasn't really any help.

The AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, and even the Time Capsule can "extend a wireless network", +but... they are only compatible if you have another Apple router as the main device.+
Sorry, but none of the Apple products would be compatible to extend the range of your Billion wireless router using wireless only. You might want to check to see if Billion has a "range extender" or similar compatible device.

  • Can i extend the range of an airport extreme with another airport extreme and use the ports on the airport extreme i used to extend the network?

    That seems like a complicated question. 
    I have a Time Capsule (which the HD *****, but that is matter for another discussion) and want to extend the range with an Airport Extreme because I have 2 devices in one room that do not do wireless but have Ethernet ports.
    The room has iffy WiFy connectivity too.
    I want to know if the 3 ports on the Airport Extreme still work after configuring it as an extender rather than a router.

    The thing is that I want to know if I can put the Airport Extreme at the edge of the room where the existing Base does not reach.
    This will not work.
    Remember, an "extending" AirPort can only extend the quality of wireless signal that it receives. For that reason, it must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal in order to work effectively.
    For example, let's say that your "main" router was on one end of the house and you want to extend the signal to reach the other end of the house.  In this case, you would locate the "extending" AirPort about half way between the main router and the other side of the house.

  • How can I undo the last update of Firefox?

    Yesterday March 2, 2011, Firefox updated itself....Now I can't play Pogo games....I want to undo the update and remove the new Adobe reader Firefox said I needed so that I can play Pogo games again....everything was fine until the update.

    Mozilla are aware of the issue in Firefox 3.6.14 and are working on a fix, no timescale but they are planning on a quick release. Firefox 3.6.15 will fix the issue with some Java applets not working, which has caused many Pogo games to stop functioning.
    You can get Firefox 3.6.13 from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.13/win32/en-US/

  • Can I extend the range of my Airport Extreme with 2 Airport Express units?

    I am using Airport Extreme as my basic router. I have connected 2 airport express units (all new since 12/09) to extend the network about 300 ft into another building to a PC. I am receiving about 65% signal and only one of the express units is extending the signal. Previously I was able to extend the network with a Netgear router and one D-Link extender and achieved 85%.
    I would like to use the 2nd express to extend the signal of the 1st express which is extending the Extreme.
    If this is not possible, can I use something other than an express with the extreme to extend the wireless network?

    Here are the basic steps in setting up a static WDS. Please compare them to what you have done to see if there are any differences. Hopefully, this will give you a clue on what to try.
    AEBSn - WDS Setup
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)
    Main Base Station Setup
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
    o Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
    o Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base
    Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window.
    o Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the
    default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
    o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
    o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the base station you want to connect to this base station.
    o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
    Remote Base Station Setup
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as a remote base station.
    o Open AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
    o Select the remote base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Enter the base station password, if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
    o Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
    o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.
    Relay Base Station Setup
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar to join the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the relay base station.
    o Open AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
    o Select the relay base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
    o Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and choose “WDS relay” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the Main AirPort ID field.
    o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the remote base station this relay base station will connect to.
    o Click Update to transfer the new WDS settings to the relay and remote base stations.

  • Can i stream the content on my airport extreme to my PC, PS3 and iPad ?

    I want to purchase either the Airport Extreme (and plug in a 1TB external hard drive) or the Time Capsule. I want to know if it is possible to share the media in either of the drives (movies of all formats avi flv wmv mp4 and songs etc) wirelessly on my PC, PS3 and iPad.
    I basically just need an airport express because i need to extend my wireless range by plugging in an ethernet cable. But if i will be able to share the content in a hard drive wirelessly without much mess, then i'd go for the capsule or the extreme. I've googled around and found that its incredibly messy to stream non-mp4 videos on iPad, u need to copy the entire movie onto ipad to watch it and blah blah.
    Can anyone tell answer me like u talk to a non-tech freak ? Thanks

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods available for copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.  Once you have successfully done that, you can safely choose the Erase and Sync option.

  • Can't find the harddrive connected to AirPort Extreme from NETGEAR EVA9100

    Hey all,
    Like the subject sais... I have a setup in my appartment where I have a USB Harddrive connected to my AirPort Extreme. I put my media on that disk, and now I want to access these files from my new NETGEAR EVA9100 media streamer, but for some reason it can't find the harddrive in my network.. My MBP has no problems finding it, nor have any other computers. I have tried numerous ways of sharing the disk through the airport software, but for some reason it just won't work.
    Does anyone have an idea what I need to do..?

    If the hard disk shows up when it is connected directly to the base station, then I would try a different powered hub.
    Otherwise, the hard disk drive may not be compatible, or perhaps it is incorrectly formatted as NTFS.

  • Can I extend the range with an Airport Extreme?

    Hi there,
    Is it possible to extend a wireless network's range with an Airport Extreme (just like you can do with an Airport Express)? Currently I have a Billion wireless modem/router but need to extend the range so I can use my PS3 in my bedroom. I would rather get an Airport Extreme instead of an Express so I can take it with me when I move out. Just need to know if the Extreme will do this as it doesn't mention it on the website.
    Thanks for your time.
    Regards,
    Daniel

  • How can I change the country in my Airport Extreme wireless settings

    I bought my Airport Extreme in the US.  I live in the UK.
    How can I change the wireless settings to show the UK (or Europe) as one of the available countries?  At the moment it lists only countries in the Americas (Canada, US, Argentina etc...)

    Others may know better!
    Regards,
    Shawn
    This is exactly correct.. You can set the Time Zone to anywhere in the world but the wireless is regionalised.. it is part of the sales approach that you should buy the product in the market where it will be used.. the following are the regions.
    From the md0a file.
    FCC JAPAN ETSI APAC ROW FCC-DFS KOREA RUSSIA
    You cannot alter this nor do Apple offer this service.. although I am pretty sure they will have a backdoor.
    I have altered it for interest sake by soldering in a console port.. stop the bootloader and the following commands.
    K30A>var
    apple-sku=ETSI
    apple-sn=6F94sxxssxxss
    ethaddr=00:2xxxssxxb
    K30A>
    K30A>setvar apple-sku=APAC
    K30A>
    K30A>var
    apple-sku=APAC
    apple-sn=6F94sssxxxx
    ethaddr=00:2sxxxssxxss
    If you want the pin out to the serial port.. well I can even give you those. At least for a TC.. I am not in any way recommending this.. just showing you where it is hidden.
    And this so far would only work on a Gen 4 or Gen 5 AE.. I haven't figured it out on Gen 1-3 nor of course am I about to try soldering in wireless to a Gen6 AE or Gen5 TC.. doubtless it will come to that at some point.

  • Can I increase the range of an AirPort Extreme by a router other than AirPort Express?

    Im using an AirPort Extreme as my primary wireless router extended by an AirPort Express at home. We are primarily using macs at home and I'm overall satisfied with the quality of the product. However a lot of online reviews (including pcmag and cNet don't list the extreme or the express) amongst the list of top 10 wireless routers. The ones listed are much cheaper and has received very positive user reviews as well. However I need to setup a new network at my new office and I have some questions regarding setting up a wifi network in regard to AirPort Extreme:
    1) Can I extend the wireless network setup via AirPort Extreme Base Station by another wireless router other than Airport Express?
    2) I've heard of many cheaper alternatives (Cisco and NetGear being chief) to AirPort Extreme. I've also heard that the network set up by the AE is not as compatible with a windows based environment (which could be an issue as I'm going for an IBM server). In that case which would be the best wireless router for me?
    3) Any other specific reason for which I should prefer AE over any other wireless modem?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    1) Can I extend the wireless network setup via AirPort Extreme Base Station by another wireless router other than Airport Express?
    Apple appears to have designed their "extend a wireless network" feature using proprietary software, so it would be extremely unlikely that a router from another manufacturer would work with the AirPort Extreme....if you are trying to extend wirelessly.
    In that case which would be the best wireless router for me?
    That depends on your requirements, and whether you are going strictly for specifications rather than features, or even ease of installation and use. In any case, I can't answer that question.
    If you subscribe to industry publications with test reports on products, there always seems to be a new "best" product, so expect that whatever you buy will be superceded by another "best" product within a month.
    As far as use with a PC, I've had no issues using several PCs with Apple routers.
    3) Any other specific reason for which I should prefer AE over any other wireless modem?
    Apple routers are for mom and pop at home. While the product would provide basic functionality in an office, the product was not designed, nor does it have the type of features that most businesses would require.
    For example, if I were using a business router, I would expect it use a high grade firewall for security purposes, and for the router to provide reports that track Internet use for each computer, along with a record of what Internet sites were being visited by each employee. Apple routers won't do that.

  • How can I find the router number for airport extreme card?

    I am trying (unsuccessfully) to wirelessly connect my PlayStation 3 to my iMac Duo using the built in Airport Extreme Card.
    Can someone please tell me how to find the router number for the built-in Airport? I am using OSX 10.4.9. The wireless card type on my Mac info is "Airport Extreme (Ox14E4, Ox89)".
    Thanks in advance.

    Since the iMac is using OS X's Internet Sharing, the iMac is acting as a router. The router IP address created by the iMac is dependent on the IP address assigned to the iMac. The first 2 numbers are the same but the last 2 are .2.1.
    For instance:
    If your iMac is getting an IP address of 192.168.0.200 your Mac's router IP address will be 192.168.2.1
    Similarly, if your iMac is getting an IP address of 10.0.1.200 your Mac's router IP address will be 10.0.2.1
    So
    Open Network Utility.
    Click on "Info". Under "Please select a network interface for information" select "Network Interface (en0)" to see what IP address the iMac has been assigned.
    Click on "Info". Under "Please select a network interface for information" select "Network Interface (en1)" to see what IP address the iMac is using as the router address on the wireless interface.

  • HT3728 I have factory reset and firmware updated my airport extreme, but although it should have dual network capacity, I can now only create a single network.. Suggestions please

    I have factory reset the extreme base station and updated firmware, however, now there do not appear to be dual networks. Why is that

    Then you may be possibly referring to the Guest Network option?.....which would not be enabled by default when you reset the device back to default settings.
    You can use AirPort Utility to enable that function.

  • How do I install the firmware update for LinkSys E900 router?

    Hi,
    I'm using Mac 10.7.5 and a few months back had purchased the E900 wireless router.  It has firmware 1.0.03 installed and I noticed there is a 1.0.04 update.  I downloaded the update, which is a .bin file, but I do not have a CD burner nor access to a Windows machine.  How can I install the firmware update?
    Thanks, - Dave
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Simple, with your wired computer (never wireless) just access the GUI in the router and perform the firmware update.  Just point to the .bin file and away you go.  Make sure to hard reset the router and reconfigure it after you are done.
