Can i use my old airport with my PC?

I have a really old airport base station. its probably the first airport that ever came out. It still works great in my home, but now I would like to put a password on my home network, and I want to know if I can administer my device from a PC. I don't have a mac anymore. Thanks.

All those ports or on a fried logic board, so they would be of no use anyway.
Depending on how adept you are mechanically, you could gut the box and
figure a way of mounting a pair of 2.5" drives.  and then connect the drives
to a pair of USB-to-SATA cables to them.

  • Can I use an old Airport Extreme as an extender with a new Airport Express

    Hi All,  I have Verizon Fios and the data line runs into my bedroom.  I purchased a new Airport Express today to replace the Airport Extreme (from 2006).  Can I use the old Airport Extreme as an extender (I'd like to set it up in the basement as I get poor connectivity there).  I tried using the Airport Utility - Other WiFi Devices to find the Airport Extreme, but it's not registering. Is what I'm attempting possible?  If so, how do I set it up?

    Is this the "round" or "dome" shaped AirPort Extreme?
    If yes, then it is not possible to have the AirPort Extreme wirelessly "extend" the signal from the AirPort Express.
    However, the older AirPort Extreme can probably be set up to provide more wireless signal coverage if it will connect back to the LAN <--> port on the AirPort Express using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    In this case, the setup of the older AirPort Extreme will require that you have an older version of AirPort Utility installed on your computer. If it is a Mac, then the Mac must be running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility could be used to set up and configure the older Extreme.
    f you have the "square" or "flat" version of the AirPort Extreme, then everything becomes much easier. Post back if you do.

  • How can I use my old AirPort Express?

    How can I use my old AirPort Express (the one that plugs right into the wall without a power cable) to stream music to a stereo when I am using the new Airport Express?  The AirPort Utility 6.1 will not recognize the old AirPort Express.

    Apple does not make it easy for you to use an older device when they want you to buy newer devices.
    See this link for tips on how to install a version of AirPort Utility on Mountain Lion that will allow you to configure your older Express:

    This is not supported by Apple, so it is your decision on whether you want to move forward with this. It works fine for me, but I cannot guarantee that it will work for you, nor offer support if you have difficulty.

  • If i purchase a new airport base station can I use my old airport extreme 802.11n (3rd Gen) as both an extender of my wife for multiple iphones and as a router?

    I operate an old airport extreme base station 802.11n (3rd gen).
    There are 4 iphone5's and 1 iphone4 on my network along with 2 laptops running 10.6.8 and 10.7 respectively as well as two desktops with the same configurations as the laptops.
    I get a sense that the iphones may/will be useless the new airport.
    Can I use the old base station (operating as an extender/bridge/router) so that older equipment will operate in the short term until they are upgraded?
    Thank you.

    They will work fine with a new AirPort base station. You can use an iPhone or iPad to set up and configure the new base station. If you want to use a Mac to set up and configure the new AirPort, it will need to have at least Lion 10.7.5 installed. Mountain Lion 10.8 or Mavericks 10.9 could be used as well.

    You can use the older AirPort base station to extend the wireless network. No updates will be needed to your iPhones or Macs.

  • Can I use an old Airport Express to extend the range of a new Airport Express?

    Hi all.  I have an old Airport Express 802.11g (First Gen?) that is starting to fade.  Still works, but not what it used to be.  So I am going to buy a new Airport Express.  I'm not interested in the Airport Extreme.
    Question:  If I use the new Airport Express as my main wireless router, can I plug my old Airport Express into another room as an extender?  In other words, with the old Express and the new Express talk to each other or will a new Express only allow extension with another new Express?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, but the old AirPort Express 802.11 b/g does not have a setting to "Extend a wireless network", so it cannot be used as a extender with the newer AirPort Express if you plan to connect wirelessly.
    If you plan to connect the older Express using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, then it could be configured to provide additional wireless signal coverage in that manner.

  • Can i use my old phone with verizon prepaid plans

    I bought a prepaid gophone from AT&T some months ago. But now I want to test how good Verizon's coverage is. Can I use this old phone I bought from AT&T's website (a Pantech Link) with Verizon's pay as you go plan? Or do I have to buy a phone from Verizon?
    Thanks,
    Timothy

    Verizon Wireless and ATT use two different networks for their voice services. The GSM phone from ATT won't work on the CDMA network used by Verizon Wireless. You need a Verizon Wireless branded device.

  • Can I use my old AirPort Extreme to extend my network?

    I recently replaced my year-old AirPort Extreme with a Time Capsule. The TC setup was the easiest ever, and it actually asked if it was replacing the AirPort and used the old settings, network name, et al. Had it up and running in five minutes and all computers and devices attached to it without any changes necessary.
    So now that I've got this AirPort, I'm wondering if I can use it like an Express and put it into the farthest reaches of my house to extend my network and attach it to my new Apple TV. I also have an old AirPort Express which isn't the 'n' model. What to do?

    Yes, you could use the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) to extend the wireless range of the new TC. Whether or not, it will be successful, will depend on both at distance you are trying to cover and what form of Wi-Fi obstructions (walls, ceilings, floors, etc.) there are between the two routers.

  • How can i use my old airport express with my new imac and wireless hp print

    i just bought my first imac (intel) and a wireless hp printer. i now realize that a wireless connection between my imac and my printer needs a router.
    i have an airport express base station, which is a few years old. I can't find my documentation, so i don't know its specifications.
    how can i find out the specs of the airport express i have and whether i can use it now? it says that it is model a1084 100-240v~ 0.2a 50-60 hz.
    does that tell any knowledgeable people out there about the specs? can i search the apple website by serial number and find the specs?
    thank all of you potential responders ahead of time.

  • Can I use my old charging cube purchased with and iPod Photo that has international plugs to charge my iPhone 4S?

    I have an old charging cube that I purchased with my iPod Photo several years ago.  It has various adapter plugs to use in other countries some of which have 220 volts.  In the USA we use 110 volts.
    Can I use the old cube with the proper plug to charge my iPhone 4S in Israel?
    Thanks in advance.

    The power will be okay.
    If the dock cannot take adapters, I strongly advise you to not use the dock (if you want to keep it), without creating support for the iPhone. It will break; had this happen to an iHome with my 5th gen iPod, due to the lack of accessories to support the new iPod profile.

  • Can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    Hello arbazu,
    Unfortunately, when setting up a new/replacement printer, you wont be able to use the same email address, nor can it be transferred to another printer. Once an email is used, the email address itself is not able to be used for a certain period of time (which I believe is 6 months).
    However, by creating a new email address, but adding an 01 or 02 at the end, you can get something very similar to what you had previously.
