Can I use Base Station with Extreme Card?

Hi,
I was thinking of updating my iBook to a new one with an Extreme Card. I have the snow Base station that I am currently using with my G3 iBook. I know the G3 iBook with old Airport card would work on the Extreme Base Station but what about the other way around. Can I use the old Airport Card with a new Extreme Base Station? I would hate to have to spend the money on a new base station. I do understand the speed would be slightly slower than if both the base station and the card were extreme. Thanks.
Thom

I know the G3 iBook with old Airport card would work on the Extreme Base Station...
Can I use the old Airport Card with a new Extreme Base Station?
As you state in your first statement, yes a Mac using an original AirPort card can connect to an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
I do understand the speed would be slightly slower than if both the base station and the card were extreme.
Since you will be using an 802.11b card, the speed will be the same 802.11b speed that you are getting now.

Creating Base Station with Extreme Card.

I have a 3 year old Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and just had an Extreme card installed. I want to connect to my iPod touch and Apple TV. I assume that I need to create a network and establish my Mac Pro as a base station. Other forums discuss using Airport Admin Utility. There is an Airport Utility which doesn't have the same controls. How do I create a network?

Can i use Express stations with Extreme to make a Roaming network?

I have tried, but to no avail.. it seems.
The said airports are all n-capable, and it seemed to me that by setting them up in roaming mode (by ethernet cable through Cisco switch) i would get the best coverage. But it doesnt look like it works.
Is the only way to set them up in Extend mode?
Would be happy for a definitive answer to this 'problem' :-)

Other than assigning a different device name to each AirPort that is connected to the switch, your settings will be identical on each device.
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below each icon. Your settings should look like this:
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Your choice
No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Radio Mode = Your choice or Automatic
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = WPA2 Personal recommended
Wireless Password = Your password
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save changes
After each AirPort is setup, power down the entire network....every device.....order is not important
Wait a moment, then start the modem first and let it run a few minutes by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Work out from there starting each device one a a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
Check the network
If you are using a Mac, and want to know which AirPort you are connected to at any given time, post back for tips on that.

Can't access base station with Admin Utility

AirportXpress / 10.3.9
I have access to internet email and network machines but I can no longer access the base station through Airport Admin Utility or Airport Set up Assistant.
When I try to access the Base Station through Airport Admin Utility on my PowerBook, the base station cannot be seen. This happens if I am on wireless or plugged in with an ethernet cable. I can still surf the net and receive email.
When I try to access the Base Station through Airport Express Assistant on my PowerBook, the wireless network can be seen but the base station cannot be accessed. This happens if I am on wireless or plugged in with an Ethernet cable. However I can still surf the net and receive email.
When I try to access the Base station via Airport Admin Utility on a G3 Desktop via Ethernet the Airport Base Station can be seen but when I try to log on to it I receive the error, "The Airport Admin Utility was unable to read the configuration of the selected base station. An error occurred while reading the configuration". I can still surf the net and receive email.

Try pulling the Airport Express from power for a moment, then plug it back in again and let it restart (takes about a minute).

Using Airport Extreme Base Station with Cable Modem

Hi everyone,
I have just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station. I connected it to my cable modem (Surfboard 3100) through the WAN port and my iMac G4 is connected to it through the Ethernet port. Installed the Airport Utility, and configured the base station with the normal settings of DHCP for Internet and DHCP for internal network.
After restarting the base station, my Internet connection from the iMac through the base station is very slow and most of the time will time-out. My Internet connection through my PowerBook G4 using wireless through the base station is ok though.
My question is, is there some setting which I should set for the Ethernet portion of the base station to make my wired connections to the Internet work?
Thanks in advance for any help!
regards,
Weiming
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi,
My iMac G4 does not have an Airport card. I did not physically restarted the base station, its part of the sequence when we update the configuration, that the base station will restart on its own.
regards,
Weiming

How can I set up the airport extreme base station with windows computer

Hi - you need Airport Utility version 5.6.1 for Windows 7 - go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547 to download it to your computer - the setup depends on what kind of modem you have and if you have another router connected - post back with this info to proceed - thanks

I BEG of you: How do I replace an Airport Extreme base station with a 4th-generation Time Capsule as the base station?

I'll be damned if I can figure this out. I have a new late-2012 iMac (OS 10.8.3) connecting to my LAN via Airport wi-fi. (It will be Ethernet-connected, as soon as a hole is drilled into my new work table, but right now the Ethernet cable doesn't reach.) My wife uses a 2011 MacBook Air.
The LAN consists of a flying-saucer-looking Airport Extreme connected by Ethernet to the modem, plus 2 old Airport Expresses. I have an Ethernet switch too, through which I've got a TV connected and a printer connected.
I bought a 4th-generation Time Capsule about a year ago, but couldn't figure out for the life of me how to replace the Airport Extreme with it. I became so incredibly frustrated that I hid it away in a closet until now. I just tried again, with the same results. I've got both Airport Utility 5.6 (to use with the old Extreme and Expresses) and Airport Utility 6.2. I was using version 6.2 to set up the Time Capsule... or to try to. Once again, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it! I tried so many different Ethernet wiring connections that I now cannot remember them well enough to describe them here.
I distinctly remember that, when I tried this a year ago with my wife's MacBook Air and Airport Utility 6.2, I was presented at one point with the question whether I wanted to replace an existing base station with the Time Capsule I was trying to set up, but this time I never was presented with that option.
Is there anyone who can, in essence, hold my hand and walk me through this process step-by-step? At this point I even need to be instructed what to wire to what. I feel like a total incompetent.
My MOST sincere thanks in advance for help!
(I hope Time Capsule is the correct forum for this question. I considered the Airport forum as well, but I don't want to cross-post.)
(And, just to complicate matters, after I get this done-- assuming I ever do-- I want to use the old Airport Extreme on the outside of the house to extend the range of my LAN to the back yard... but that's for another day entirely.)

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.

Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

Where has my airport utility window gone ? when I double click on the icon all I get is an image of a globe and a base station with no options to make changes in my airport extreme.

Where has my airport utility window gone? When I double click on the airport utility icon all I get is a picture of a globe and a base station with no further options available to modify my airport extreme.

Sorry, you lost me on that last post.
Let's start over again.
Open AirPort Utility on your Mac
Are you asked for a password at this point? If yes, enter the base station or device password that you used when you originally set up the AirPort router. Depending when you did this originally, you might have been given an option to use the same password as the wireless network. If you were not, then you have a separate password for the base station.
You need that password to be able to access the settings for the AirPort router in AirPort Utility.
If you see a window listing basic information, click Edit in the upper right corner of the window.
If you are asked for a password, you must enter the device password or base station password that you established when you first set up the AirPort router as explained above.
If you forgot the password, a Soft Reset will allow you to go in and reset the base station password. Might be a good idea to write down that password.
If you are still stuck, then the only option that you have at this point is to perform a Hard Reset to return the settings to factory defaults and then set up the AirPort router again.
If you prefer, you can also do a Factory Default Reset. It's the same as a Hard Reset except for the timing of holding in the reset button.

I am trying to get an answer to whether or not I can successfully use Time Machine with an external HDD connected to an airport extreme? Some forums say yes, some say no.

I am trying to get an answer to whether or not I can successfuly use Time Machine with an external HDD connected to an airport extreme. Some forums say yes, some say no. I'm also curious about formatting the hard drive to work both on my wife's MacBook Pro and my PC. Any help would definitely be appreciated.

You may be going on a recollection, that I share, that at one time Apple stated this would be possible:
In fact, Apple’s Time Machine Web page touted this very capability as recently as last Tuesday, as you can see from Google’s October 16 cache of the page
Effortless meets wireless. With a hard disk connected to your AirPort Extreme Base Station, all the Macs in your house can use Time Machine to back up wirelessly. Simply select your AirPort Disk as the backup disk for each computer and the whole family can enjoy the benefits of Time Machine.
But if you look at the current Time Machine page on Apple’s Web site, that text is nowhere to be found.
That was a long time ago, it has never been officially implemented, and at present they specifically say it cannot be done.
In summary, it may work, but probably won't, and even if it does it may not be reliable.
Reference:
Disks that can be used with Time Machine
Time Machine can’t back up to an external disk connected to an AirPort Extreme, or...

New AirPort Extreme Base Station with OS X 10.3.9?

I have an iMac running 10.3.9 along with a XP box. Can I use the new AirPort Extreme Base Station with this setup. The sys reqs seem to say that I need OS X 10.4.8. I want to use this new wireless base station with AppleTV.
I really don't want to upgrade to 10.4.x especially since Leopard (10.5) is supposed to be coming out soon. Of course this supposes I can even run Leopard on my non-intel iMac.

In order to connect to the new Airport Extreme Base Station 10.3.9 will be fine.
In order to use Apple TV then you will need to be running 10.4.8

You will be able to run 10.5 on non-Intel Macs.

How to control an Apple Base Station with 3rd-party wireless card?

I recently upgraded my early 2004 Power Mac G5 2GHz DP to the 802.11n standard using a Newertechnology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b Wireless PCI Adapter to communicate with my new "n"-standard 2TB Time Capsule. My G5 shipped with an 802.11g-standard Airport Card which I disconnected when I installed the PCI card to avoid hardware conflicts. The new n-standard wireless set-up works without a problem, but having lost the Apple Airport Card, I no longer have the ability to control/manipulate the Timecapsule via the third-party card e.g. I cannot connect/disconnect my internet connection or otherwise troubleshoot the base station.
So, the question is, how can control an Apple base station with a third-party wireless card? As it stands now, I must boot up my laptop just to see if I have a connection.
My thanks in advance,
T. North
Brussels, Belgium

Thanks for the assistance. Yes, I can indeed administer the Time Capsule from inside the Airport Utility, but I am still unable to connect or disconnect the Internet connection like you can with an Airport card (using the Airport drop-down menu.) If my ISP signal drops for whatever reason (which is does often) I have to boot up my laptop just to reconnect. Is there some feature within the Airport Utility that permits one to connect/disconnect the signal? If there is, I haven't found it yet.

AirPort Extreme Base Station with Modem not recognized by airport utililty,

My Apple M8799LL/A AirPort Extreme Base Station with Modem and Antenna Port is no longer recognized by the airport setup utility, nor will it allow internet connection. Has worked fine until last weekend when I did a full disk utility on all of my drives. Now I get a message, none of your trusted networks are available would I like to join (my network name)? Airport looks fine, can connect locally, lights up as usual.
How can I make it trusted again and get dial up internet to work again?

resetting has worked for months with no return of the problem.

Can't locate base station using Mac or windows

I just bought a airport extreme to replace my ageing linksys. I set it up exactly per instructions. I got the light to glow green. However, none of my devices can locate the base station on airport utility.

If you plug the new base station in the password is "public" and you should be able to find it at 192.168.0.1. Open a broswer and type in that address and you should get a login to set it up.
You need to plug into it direct with a cable if you can't sign in to the wireless network.

Please check on the side or bottom of the AirPort Express to locate the model number. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers.
If you have A1084 or A1088, you will not be able to administer these older versions using the iMac running OS X (10.8.5).
If you have model number A1264 or A1392, you can check to see if there are any available updates as follows:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Express icon
Click on the Version number that appears in the small window
You will be notified if an update exists for your AirPort Express
