Can wireless broadcasting be turned off on 5th gen airport extreme?
Hello, I have a 5th Gen Airport Extreme and would like to be able to turn off wireless broadcasting. Is there a simple way of doing this without having to reconfigure the router every time?
Thanks
Sorry, but no.

5th Gen Airport Extreme, XBox360 and Windows Media Center
Hi there. A similar question was posted in August 2011, but the resolution was apparently to return the 5th Gen Airport Extreme in favor of a 4th Gen Airport Extreme. Not really a solution. Here's the setup:
Upstairs
2nd Gen Airport Extreme --- (wired) --- XBox 360
{wireless signal)
downstairs
Cable connection --- (wired) --- 5th Gen Airport Extreme --- (wired) --- Win 7 PC with Windows Media Player
Wireless network is set up as 802.11n (no b/g)
Xbox can see the Intenet and XBL just fine. And on the Win 7 PC I have no problem setting up the Xbox as an extender. But when I'm on the Xbox, the Media Center app is unusably slow. Like minutes to connect and I can't even get to a menu.
What can I do? Let me know what information is useful and I'll gladly provide it. Thanks.

Have Pixus and 3rd gen Airport extreme. Unable to replace with 5th gen airport extreme
I have Pixus and a 3rd generation Airport extreme . Unable to replace with 5th generation airport extreme. Problem?
Ok, thanks for the clarification. I assume that Pixus has provided you with a modem that provided an Ethernet connection to your 3rd Gen AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) ... correct? If so, then anytime you change networking hardware, it is a good idea to completely recycle power on all of the networking components.
Please try the following:
Power-down the Pixus modem, AEBSn, and computer(s); leave them powered off for at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it sufficient time to initialize.
Power-up the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes or until its status light is a solid green. (Note: It may continue to flash amber. This is ok, as it may just require some additional configuration settings, like wireless security to attend to.)
Power-up the computer(s).
Network clients connected to the AEBSn, either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the Pixus modem. Please post back your results. -
5th Gen Airport Extreme AirPlay, Printing, Streaming Issues
I had a fourth generation Apple Airport Extreme router. It worked flawlessly with my two Airport Express devices with airplay and printing. I also have the second generation Apple TV that had no issues.
I gave my old Extreme to a friend and I upgrade to the fifth generation Apple Airport Extreme router and I keeps loosing airplay streaming and printing with my Airport Express devices and Apple TV keeps loosing connection to my iTunes using home sharing.
All Apple Airport devices are running firmware 7.5.2. I have started from scratch two times by wiping all the devices with default settings. I have played with the different wireless modes on the router. All wireless modes cause the same issues. The weird thing is that the devices do have Internet access, show a green light, and are seen by the Airport Utility, but they just loose the ability to stream audio / video and print. I see all the devices connected to the Extreme router in the wireless statistics however they become unpingable when those services disappear on me. Rebooting the router fixes the issue temporarily or sometimes renewing Apple Express DHCP in the Apple utility helps.
I was going to return the router, but it feels more like a firmware problem that needs to be fixed since the Internet is always working. Any other suggestion out there?I agree with you, this could be a firmware problem. But worst case it could be hardware problem too. I am actually into my fourth Airport Extreme Fifth generation. All have the same problem. Fisrt few minutes, the router is fine. But after 5-10 mins, the upload speed drop down really low. Then connection would be lost intermittently. But when I reset the router, or even quickly disconnect and connect the power line, the connection and the upload speed came back normal, although that again only last for several minutes as before.
All the same problem with FOUR fifth gen Airport Extreme. And I bought them from different places too..two from Perth, Australia, one from Brunei and the other one was ordered the US through a local dealer.
The funny thing is that when I use my cheapo Trendnet router, the connection and upload speed was as stable as a rock. No drop whatsoever so it is not the fault of my ISP but the Extreme itself.
This issue has been really annoying me. Why can't Aplle fix it? -
Running an apple tv 3rd gen, iPod 4th gen, iPhone 4s, windows vista laptop, and Xbox 360 with media center. 2.4GHz devices work great when apple TV is connected with ethernet, but as soon as I switch the apple tv to wireless, the 5th gen AEBS kicks over to 5GHz, my 2.4GHz devices lose connection and I can't reconnect my 2.4GHz devices, until I do a hard reset of my AEBS and reconfig the network with my iPhone, if I use the airport application for PC, my wireless devices still won't connect. I bought this router 20 days ago so I could run dual band wireless, if I wanted to limit all my stuff to 2.4ghz, I would've got a g router and saved some money. This thing supposedly has 3 antennas, one for 2.4, one for 5, and one for the guest network, so why do I loose my 2.4 when it "switches" to 5GHZ if it's supposedly always broadcasting both freq's????????
I had a problem with dual bands running almost everything you have there. When I'd have a iPad and MacBook running, I'd turn on my 360 and I'd loose all connections though. Until a hard reset and the same cycle. I returned my airport a day later for a new one. No problems since. I had a faulty one. Not saying yours is, but mine was. I troubleshooted everything from options, manual setup, everythinggggggggg. It was a wasted 7plus hours to find out it was faulty. I have a pc, MacBook, apple tv, 360, and 2 iPads using it now flawless.

I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case someone left me a message. How do I resolve this issue?
Wifi: my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections. So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help. You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service. Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
last resort. Backup the phone. Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
HOWEVER. voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect. -
Bug:How can Home sharing be turned off and all items in my library cleared without my intervention? This is the SECOND time this happens since end of March 2013. A permanent solution will be appreciated
See this post.
Assuming AVG is involved there is a new patch which may resolve the issue. Update AVg before attempting to recover the library.

How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.
It is possible to turn on/off options within the Side Panel by Customization of Groups.
But it seems You cannot influence the way Web Intelligence present (minimized or Off) the Side Panel in the IE??
Is there a solution for this??

iPhone 5s Stopped responding right after I finished a call. Touchpad doesn't respond and I cant shut down since I can't swipe to turn off. I updated to latest OS 8.1.3 a few days ago but it worked fine until now. I tried charging but it isn't responding to that either.
Thanks. I forgot to hold them longer. Is this because of the software update?
it still doesn't show that it is charging though. I Hope that fixes itself. Now my IPad is acting up. I think I'll reset that too! -

When opening Firefox - (since edition 8) many of the plug-in products open also to notify of some type of change -- if this was once a month or so -- then that is ok but it happens to all my Firefox Browsers (5 desk tops here at home) most every day or every other day -- way too much waste of time -- and now I don't care for this notification -- CAN THIS SERVICE BE TURNED OFF IN FIREFOX SOME HOW ?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

I can't seem to turn off my assistant. It talks to me constantly (or on mute) and it goes through each box individually. This makes it difficult to navigate myself through pages. Please, if you know how to turn it off, help.
In 10.6 or earlier go to: Apple / System Preferences / Universal Access and turn off Voice Over.
In 10.8 go to: Apple / System Preferences / Accessibility / VoiceOver and uncheck the box for Enable VoiceOver. -
