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.

  • How to make sure I'm the only one who can manage my airport base station using airport utility?

    I know we have to use the Airport Utility application to manage the Airport base station in order to create a new network, creating the SSID and chosing the encryption mode and setting the password but how I could be sure I'm the only one who have access to those settings? A user of my network can install the Airport Utility application and change those settings. With other routers like D-Link, to have access to the settings you need to know the admin password to modify the settings. I can't figure out how we can do this with Airport Extreme base station. It's maybe obvious but I'm in the cloud for the moment.

    You can set a base station administrator password in order to limit who can administer the base station. With AirPort Utility v6.x, you can set this password on the Base Station tab.

  • Airport Utility can't find base stations.

    I have three base stations in my network, an old extreme, the new extreme, and an express. On my 17" macbook pro, the airport utility cannot detect any base stations. It can connect to my network, and surf the internet fine. It just can't find the base stations. On my roommates macbook, airport detects them fine. We are both running fully updated versions of Leopard. I have already done a clean install to see if it fixed the issue, but it still persists. The only reason this is annoying is I have lost my ability to stream music to the express station. Has anyone even encountered this issue?

    I've had the same problem with my leopard machine.
    I have an AirPort Extreme base station connected to the internet and an AirPort Express connected to my stereo set. iTunes couldn't find the express anymore, so I tried to use the Airport configuration program. That couldn't find any base stations (neither extreme nor express) although my internet connection was working (via the extreme base station).
    Connecting using an IP address (AirPort config programm, shift-cmd-O) did work, so if you only need to reconfigure the base station you can do that without having Airport Config find the base station.
    After restarting the base station my Mac found both the base stations. Go figure.
    The trouble isn't caused by sleeping as my Leopard Mac isn't allowed to sleep due to crappy connections afterwards.

  • Can connect to internet, but software can't find base station

    I bought the Airport express a few months ago to use with my stereo and IBM laptop. It took me a few tries to get it initially installed properly, but eventually did and everything worked great. A month or so ago I noticed that the tab to select "remote speakers" was not on my iTunes as it had been before. All of the settings were correct on my iTunes however so then I went to the AirPort Utility to check out the settings and the program said it could not find the base station. I tried to find the station on AirPort Set-up assistant. This program can find it but not connect to it (on the first page after the menu it shows the base station and when I hit "next" it can't connect to the station). All of this is really odd as I have internet access through this base throughout these problems. Any ideas what might be happening and how to fix it? I have reset the base station to factory settings numerous times, I have unplugged everything and restarted the whole process numerous times, I even left the base station unplugged for a week to let it relax. Still nothing works. I can connect to the internet through the station but can not find the station.

    Thanks for your help. I can manually connect to the internet but I can't figure out how to get iTunes to recognize that there are remote speakers as my computer can't recognize my base station. Is there a manual way to do this?

  • Utility can't find base station

    I'm trying to change the security protection on my base station but when I open the Airport Utility, it just scans for a long time and says "can't find base station." The station works fine but the utility can't find it. What should I do?

    I've had the same issue for several weeks also. Even reverting back to 7.1.1 I still have the problem. It's an issue for me, as the Airport Disk Utility doesn't recognize my USB disk.
    While restarting Aiport Extreme temporarily solves the problem, everytime I shut down my Mac, Airport Utility doesn't recognize my disk when I start up my Mac. Have you found out anything yet?

    It's unfortunate that your device has been stolen.  You can report this to the police, but as has been answered before, if the device is restored you CANNOT locate it. 
    It probably is technically possible to track your device by the SIM; law enforcement will not waste their time doing so.  Besides, the thieves have probably changed it anyway.
    While unfortunate your iPad is gone, you really need to move on.

  • Cannot connect to Base Station using Airport Utility

    I purchased the AEBS over a month ago and as soon as I connected it to the modem, I was online. I followed the directions to setup a network and connected a printer. Everything worked smoothly, however, sometime shortly therafter, the printer communication stopped working and I could not check the settings of the base station using the airport utility. The airport utility could not see the Base Station whatsoever. The internet worked though. I had to do a hard reset on the AEBS and start from scratch. Everything worked again, but only for a short period of time. The airport utility would not see the BS again. So, what do I do to fix the problem.

    Well, during setup, it asks to connect an ethernet cable from the PC to the LAN <--> port on the AE. So, that's part of the standard setup and I believe is how the PC communicates to the AE. The only wireless device I use on the network is my Droid phone. I plan on connecting another computer whenever I get a new one. I'll look again to make sure that I did it right when I get home tonight.

  • Setting up a small business network using mac and windows pcs

    Setting up a small business network using mac and windows??

    Ok that sounds great. What is your actual question as it relates to AirPort networking? Is it: Can I set up a wired/wireless network with an AirPort base station that support multiple Mac & PC clients? If so the answer is yes.
    If, instead, it is how to I configure an AirPort network to support a small business you will have to provide more details on both your networking & computing equipment in order for any of us to help you.

  • Cannot configure and connect to Airport Express Base Station Model A1264 with Windows 7 (x64)

    I am not able to connect Airport Express Base Station Model A1264 with Windows 7 (x64).  I did a factory reset, uninstalled and reinstalled the AirPort Utility for Windows v. 5.6.1.
    My objective is to extend a non-Apple WiFi network with Airport Express Base Station Model A1264 and use it for direct ethernet and/ or wireless connection.  Any guidance as to how I can get set up here?

    This is very common, we run a mix of mac and various pc brand desktops and laptops, what I have found is that using the windows wireless client rather than manufacturers on some laptops helps, getting the latest wireless drivers from the manufacturer has helped, make sure all your windows updates XP and Vista are current.
    If all the above is covered try the different WEP WPA WPA2 variants or even without for test purposes. I have most success with WPA2.
    Finally I am assuming your running the latest firmware on the express unit, whilst this hasn't attributed to better connectivity for us I did it regardless.

  • How to configure correctly the Airport Base Station to work with windows PC?

    Hi Friends...
    I am having MacBook Air and Windows PCs with XP & Windows7.
    In MacBook I can use the internet through Airport Extreme Base Station.
    But In windows PCs I am unable to use. It is not getting the IP. And I am unable to configure DHCP also.
    Please help me out in this or let me know where i can get step by step instructions.
    Regards,
    Prakash

    If you temporarily disable wireless security on the AirPort, can both PCs now get their proper IP address information from the DHCP server in the base station?

    How is Windows installed? If you installed Windows using Bootcamp Assistant then when your computer is powering up press and hold the option key. When the boot manager appears, select either OSx or Windows to boot.
