Cannot connect my Windows7 64 to Aitport Extreme

Hi,
I just switched to Charter internet service and they no longer provide WiFi. I connected my Airport extreme to their cable modem and my MBP connects perfecly.
However, when I try to connect my windows 7 laptop or my Nokia Lumia 900 windows phone, the connection fails.
My laptop (HP Elitebook 8530w) sees the network as available but fails to connect when I provide the password. Same goes for my Nokia Lumia 900 device.
Prior to that I was on AT&T's Uverse wireless system and all my devices conneced just fine. Any ideas? Assistance in resolving this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hello Hackintosh,
Thanks for you promt reply. It is now working. Actually, the AE was already on DHCP & NAT mode. What I did was enable Bridge on my windows7 wireless adapter.
Interstingly though, now my Nokia Lumia 900 also connects and I didn't (couldn't) do anything to it.
It all works now and thats important.
Thanks again for your support.

Iphone 3GS "cannot connect to data network"

Ever since I updated to the new operating system, my phone (3GS) hasn't worked properly. Sometimes with 3 or even 4 bars of 3G I cannot make phone calls or send text messages or use the browser. I feel like I've tried everything; I have: restored it, restarted it, reset network settings. I receive the "cannot connect to data network" very often, extremely frustrating. If anyone has any fixing advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If no change after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, there may be a problem with the SIM card. Contact your carrier which should be Rogers with a 3GS, and request a new SIM card.

I have read all of the similar issues on this site and I still cannot connect my airport extreme (although there is no problem with my old airport express - help...

i have read all of the numerous and similar issues on this subject. and i still cannot connect my new airport extreme. my old airport express works fine still. help. and why are there so many issues with connecting this stuff? i thought this stuff was supposed to be getting easier, not harder... thanks.

Sorry, but I have no idea on what you have read and tried so far so please forgive me for any redundancy.
Is your AirPort Extreme the only router in your current network configuration? Which exact model is it? If there are other routers being used, please provide their make(s) & model(s). Also the make & model of your Internet modem.
What is your goal with the Extreme? Is it to replace the "old" AirPort Express? Will you still be using the Express for any reason(s)?

My iMac is working with my Airport Extreme, but Macbooks cannot connect.

After a number of power outages, we lost wireless throughout the house. ISP and modem all checked and okay. Reset Airport Extreme to factory settings. I am connected on my iMac (wirelessly via the Airport), but Macbooks and iPad cannot connect. They are picking up a wireless signal, but not the Airport network and shows an error message "not connecting to Internet".
Suggestions?

A little more information from the Macbook - when I open System Preferences - Network, there is a message on the left showing the Airport device, and also says "self-assigned IP". On the right side under Status, it states"Airport has the self-assigned IP address of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and will not be able to connect to the Internet." Not sure if this provides any clues?

Cannot connect Windows 7 laptop to USB HDD attached to Airport Extreme

I would appreciate anyone's help regarding the following issue. The situation is as follows:
Laptop with Windows 7 installed
Laptop connects to Airport Extreme (5th generation) through Wifi
An external HDD (WD Elements 1TB) is attached to the Airport Extreme's USB
The external HDD is visible in Airport Utility and should work fine, as far as the Airport Utility is concerned
The external HDD is also visible in Windows Explorer and works fine when I attach it directly to the laptop's USB
However, I cannot access the HDD from my laptop when it's connected to the Airport Extreme's USB
I've followed all the steps described in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1331 for mapping a network drive, so I've done the following:
I opened "Map Network Drive"
I selected an unused drive letter
I checked the Airport Extreme for the correct IP address (in my case: 10.0.1.1) and the HDD for its correct name (in my case called: "Backup")
I entered the correct path to the drive, using the above IP address and HDD's name
After doing all this, I keep receiving the following error message: "Windows cannot access \\10.0.1.1\Backup. Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try and identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose."
Details of the error message are as follows: "Error code: 0x80070035. The network path was not found."
When I select "Diagnose", Windows indicates that the external device or the external source does not accept the connection.
Access to the Airport Extreme is password protected. Same for the HDD. However, Windows does not prompt me to give the username and password, which might be causing the problem.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?
Thanks,
Paul

If you are connected by wireless.. it is actually wireless that is the problem.
30MB file (please try and use b for bits and B for Bytes.. )
that works out around 300Mb (with overheads).
That is 60Mbit/s average speed.. and for wireless I would say that is pretty good. (Real world transfer speed you can expect 1/2-1/4 of link speed.. and tending to the lower end of that. )
Plug the computer in by ethernet and get a speed for transfer of a single large file.. try something of the 1GB sort of size. A movie file for instance works fine.
Ethernet should be faster than any other step in the process.. assuming gigabit of course.. and that will then give you the upper limit speed.. but I would expect around 10MB/s max speed and maybe a bit less than that. USB on a router is choked because it is processor intensive. Most routers only manage that speed and sometimes a lot less.
Wireless on 5ghz band is faster than 2.4ghz if you are up close. It is worthwhile forcing the 5ghz connection if you want better wireless speed.

Toshiba 4015 , Linksys wpc11 , Extreme Base Station cannot connect! Help

I have one IP address coming into a wired router(linksys bsr41), The router has two good ports. I go directly from one port to a homemade pc and to the airport extreme base station with the second. I have a mac mini wired to the port on the base station. I use imac g5 wirelessly with no problems.
I am trying to set up a Toshiba 4015 CDS to use wirelessly on my deck and I am having a lot of trouble. The Toshiba is upgraded to win 2000 and has 160 meg Ram. I am attempting to connect to the base station with a link sys wpc 11 wireless - b card. I have tried to change numerous setting on the base station but with no luck. I have power to the card but no link. I have used the linksys utility and it can't see the aebs and have tried a 3rd party utility recommended by linksys(freescape????) but it cannot see the base station either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I connect through dsl. Thanks, Mike

When I connect cable to the lan port , I cannot connect with dhcp or with dhcp disabled.
I tried both... restarting aebs and imac wireless and could not connect. When I disable dhcp I am forced to enter manual settings and I am not sure I have correct Ip address since it is behind my router. My internet provider said my base station would have to be behind the router because of a cloned ip address. I am not quite sure what that means. Thanks again for the help.....I have a xmas party to go to but will try further recommendations when I get home.

My PC can connect to the airport extreme but with encryption it cannot connect to the internet my iMac has no issues, any help.

My PC can connect to the new airport extreme I just purchased but with encryption it cannot connect to the internet my iMac has no issues. If I open the airport exteme up and provide no security everything is fine which leads me to believe it is something with the encryption between the two devices. Not sure what step I'm missing here this shouldn't be this difficult.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am asking if the DNS IP addresses, not the IP addresses assigned by the DHCP service, are the same. DNS is like the Internet's version of the Yellow Pages. Your ISP typically will provide them to you or you can elect to use those provided by another source, like OpenDNS.
DNS is the service that translates a website's URL to its actual IP address so that you can access it. I am just trying to rule out that the PC is not configured properly with the correct DNS IP information.
The other thing to check is if the PC is configured to use a Proxy service. By default, it would not be.
Finally, what is the make & model of the PC. More importantly, if the PC is using either a PCI or USB wireless adapter, what is its make & model?

Cannot connect to receiver using AirPort Extreme due to password protection

I have a new AirPort Extreme and Harman Kardon receiver. I am trying to connect the HK receiver to my home network, after entering in all the necessary info (IP, subnet mask etc) I still cannot connect to internet radio, Pandora etc. I called HK and they say it is because my home network is password protected. They recommend I disable to the password and keep it without a password. Is this the only option I have?

There is no reason to do this if your HK receiver cannot connect using wireless, as appears to be the case here. You must have misunderstood the HK support person, or they misunderstood you when you spoke with them.
The information in the manual only talks about a wired Ethernet connection. There is no information that I can find that would indicate that the HK Receiver will be able to connect to the wireless network using wireless.
Unless you can provide another link that would indicate otherwise, you will need to plan to connect the HK receiver using a wired Ethernet cable, or use a pair of EOP adapters to send the signal over the AC wiring in your home.
It would also be possible to use an AirPort Express to connect to the AirPort Extreme over wireless by locating the AirPort Express near the HK receiver and then in turn connecting a short Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express to the HK receiver.

I cannot connect to att...the diagnostics shows that the airport extreme is connected to the web...

I cannot connect to the web (att) via Airport Extreme...the diagnostics sees nothing wrong with the system

Since the Speedstream is a router, you would want to make sure that the AirPort Exteme is in Bridge Mode. In addition, check to be sure that the Ethernet cable from the Speedstream is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Settings should look like this:
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and give the AirPort Extreme 25-30 seconds to restart
Then power cycle the entire network by powering everything off, order is not important
Start the Speedstream first and let it run a moment
Then start the AirPort Exteme the same way
Start each device one at a time the same way
Check for propoer operation

Cannot connect to Lacie Ed Mini with new Airport Extreme BS

I've just bought a new AE and cannot connect to my Ed Mini when its connected to an ethernet port when using an XP PC. I'm using the AE in bridged mode (temporarily) but I'm not sure if this is preventing being able to connect to the drive or not. Help!! any ideas? thanks in advance.
Windows XP Pro

Thanks Stuart, nice set up!
I listened to your advice and it worked!!!! They are both synced up, however somewhere in the setting I seem to get some problems.
I can use both Desktop(LAN only) and Imac (wireless only) to play Airtunes however I realized that the Imac is surfing the net using the Airport Express rather than the Airport Extreme. Hence a very slow surfing experience.
I went back into the Airport Express and set to join an existing network and tried using a different name, so the Imac won't use the Express to do the surfing. Upon resetting the Express, the green light is active which is good news but now I cannot play Airtunes on both my machines. So I guess even with the green light, the Extreme and Express are not linked up. Am I right?
Furthermore I can get my Imac to use the Extreme to surf the net which is ideal but have the problem where I cannot play Airtunes with Express. I think it's because Express is not linked with my Extreme base station.
What I want is for both machines to surf the net at normal fast speed using Extreme, and for Itunes to connect to Express via Extreme and play my music using Airtunes so I can get great music out on my HiFi.
Any solutions, or settings I need to do? Much appreciated for all feedback from members here.
Thanks!

Blu Ray player cannot connect to Gateway with airport extreme

I have a Samsung bluray player which is plugged into an airport express. The blu ray cannot find the gateway and cannot connect to the internet. The same airport express is also used as airtunes and works just fine on the network. How do I find the correct gateway information to enter?

Temporarily, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop to the AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable. Can the laptop get an Internet connection?
If yes, the BluRay player should auto configure itself the same way to connect.
If no, the Express is not delivering an Internet connection at the Ethernet port and more troubleshooting will be required before you can connect the BluRay player.

Cannot connect to other computers on network

We have a small office network with 7 macs on it. 5 wired 2 laptops with Airport Extreme.
We have an 8 port switch where the 5 desktops and the airport connect. When I am on a laptop I cannot connect to any of the desktops. It does not even see them (and same with desktop to laptop) What do I need to do to share these two on the airport

Configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) so that it the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED. That will place the wireless and wired computers on the same subnet.

How to connect a Philips fidelio to airport extreme?

I just purchased an Airport Extreme Time capsule. I cannot connect my Philips fidelio AD7000W to the network. There are no WPS button on the Airport Extreme. There is a WPS printer connection option in the Aiport app menu option but nothing for sound system. Anyone knows how to make the connection ?

Instructions on how to connect the Fidelio to a non-WPS supported router is covered in the User Guide starting on page 13. On step 4 you would enter the specifics for your wireless network. That would be the network name, the wireless security type & wireless password. You will also want to choose the DHCP mode as enabled for these speakers.

Cannot Connect To Server

I am running multiple services with the latest version of OS X Server (10.6.8) on my MacMini (web, vpn, mail, ichat, ical, address book, etc.) .
Everything has been working fine for the last year and no changes have been made to the server, settings, ISP, or DNS, with the exception of installing the latest system software updates. Now, when I try to open my websites or connect remotely via VPN I get a "cannot connect to sever" message. All other services are still working as they should. The server is hooked up to an Airport Extreme via a cable modem with a static IP.
I have tried the following thus far:
1) checked all cables and they are plugged in and seated properly.
2) restarted the server, airport extreme, and cable modem
3) turned Web services off and on again in Server Admin
4) checked the DNS via the web and my site addresses are pointing to my static IP address
5) checked the Airport's port mapping to make sure Web Service was still on
6) checked my websites SSL certificate to make sure it's current and enabled
7) tried disabling SSL
8) created and enabled a new self-signed SSL certificate
Recent log activity shows:

I'm assuming the "key.pem' does not exist or is empty" part is the issue, but I am a novice and have no idea what that means.
Any idea what's causing the problem??? ...I really need to get my websites back up and running! Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

No solution offered ...had to do a system software re-install to resolve the problem.

Only one device will connect to wifi via my airport Extreme

The power went off at our house recently. Since then I have been unable to connect more than one device via my airport extreme. I have tried unplugging and resetting both modem and router repeatedly. It would switch between laptops, allowing one to be connected while saying the other had no connection and to reset the router/modem. I have tried reconfiguring the airport express (a couple of times). I have tried resetting the network settings on my iphone5. I have restored the factory settings on my iphone5... On my iphone5 the Airport Utility cannot locate the Airport Extreme. It says no base stations have been found.
My husbands android mobile also cannot connect to wifi (which it previously could).
Help please!

So it seems a night of rest has done everything a world of good! I just turned on the second lap top, it connected to the wifi. Then with bated breath tried the iphone5 and it connected too. So, seems that the resets I did yesterday did do the trick, just things needed to be shut down and restarted again. Yay!
