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.

  • Can't Connect to Internet using AirPort Extreme Card and DLink Router

    I have tried just about everything, but I can't seem to connect my MAC OS X 10.3.9 to the internet. I am using the Airport Extreme Card and no networks show up. I am trying to connect to my DLink router. I was told by DLink that it is compatible with AirPort Extreme cards, but the guys at Best Buy were unable to connect to their wireless routers, other than their Mac Router. Please let me know if you have a solution! Thanks

    What Mac do you have?
    Do you have iMac G5 or a Power Mac G5?
    Did you install the AirPort Extreme card yourself?

  • Can't connect windows xp using airport extreme to internet

    Hi i just purchased my airport extreme base station. I tried connecting it to my windows xp for internet and so i can have wireless connection to my macbook.
    Im using timewarner cable as my ISP connected through ethernet. I choose DHCP in the configuration to detect IP address provided but I couldn't connect and it tells me invalid IP address.. (i followed the instruction from the manual)... I tried to do it manually then I typed my IP address,but it asks for
    1. Subnet Mask- not sure so I just went by whats default which is 255.255.0.0
    2. router address- I dont know where to get this.. tried 10.0.1.1, 10.0.1.2, 192.168... no clue where to get this...
    The light was on amber when I used DHCP (automatic)- which gives me error of wrong IP address
    After I did it manually with my IP address its now green still no internet connection (problem is probably subnet mask and router address)
    can anybody help please?

    I tried connecting it to my windows xp for internet...
    The cable modem should be powered off and connected to the WAN port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). The PC should be connected to one of the AEBS's LAN ports.
    Configure the AEBS to use the same settings as the PC was using to connect to the Internet. The PC should now be configured to use DHCP and Ethernet to get on the Internet.

  • Cannot connect to an encrypted Airport Extreme

    I bought an Airport Extreme router (big one) and an Airport base station (small; looks like a power adapter.) When i configured the base station for encryption under WEP it connected perfectly, when I placed these same settings to the Airport Extreme router, it would not connect to the internet (it will connect with the router). It will connect however when the base station is unencrypted. (It seems the problems start when I encrypt.) I tried WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc. I can connect to the router, but there is not internet. Another hint is when I try to launch the Airport Admin Utility, the program freezes.

    Setup the Airport Extreme (AEBS) how you want it, using WPA would be a better choice than WEP for example.
    Hard reset the Airport Express (AX).
    Wait five minutes
    Connect to the AEBS wireless network.
    Run
    Applications > Utilities > Airport Setup Assistant
    Configure a new base station.
    Configure the new AX to join your existing wireless network.

  • Cannot connect to internet using Airport

    I am having difficulty connecting my new Airport express to the internet.  Everything connects fine modem>Airport (WAN) and then back to my computer (LAN) and I get a green light on the Airport but when I open the safari browser it says I do not have an internet connection. 

    Hello mfort77. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    It's always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle whenever you change network configurations.
    Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
    1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
    2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
    3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the modem, 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

  • 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.

  • I am trying to connect to directv using airport extreme

    I am having great difficulty connecting my directv wirelsss connection device to my apple airport extreme.  the directv wireless device will not accept my security code.  I had the directv technician over for 3 hours and we could not solve the problem.  Help!!!

    DirecTV wireless capabilities are quite limited for a modern product
    Make sure that the name of your AirPort Extreme wireless network contains no apostrophes, exclamation marks, asterisks, dollar signs, etc.  Use only regular lettters and numbers.
    For example, if the name of your wireless network is
    kikuum's wireless network
    DirecTV will never be able to connect. Change the name to something with only letters and numbers, no spaces, and no more than 20 characters. So, for example  you could use something like
    kikuumwireless
    You may also need to lower the security setting on your AirPort Extreme router from the default WPA2 Personal to WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme icon and click Edit
    Then click on the Wireless tab at the top of the window to access the settings page
    Click Update at the lower right to save your new settings

  • Slow Internet connection with IPhones using airport extreme

    My Airport Extrem works fine with IPads and Mac Book but not with IPhones (very, very slow). Any advice?

    Its Pretty simple if you need to change the network password on the wifi Just do a soft reset
    To do this you need somethign small and skinny like a bobby pin then look at the back of the airport extreme for a tiny play button below that you stick the bobby pin in that for a full second.
    Then go to your Pc go to aiport utility double-click your aiports name then go to the base station tab and you can change your password.
    Having worse problems still?
    Then you need a hard restart to do a hard restart (like last time) take out something small and skinny (such as a bobby pin)  and look behind your airport for a tiny play button then right below that there should be a hole or a button use the bobby pin and stick it in the hole and leave it in there for 5.7 seconds then take it out and it should be rapidly blinking.
    Then after it finishes blinking rapidly you need to set it up again like you did when you first got it.

  • HT4259 My old Airport Extreme cannot connect to the new Airport Extreme (Base) after I upgraded to the 7.7.1. firmware.

    The old extreme was working as part of the extended network when the New Extreme Base it had the 7.7. version, now amber just blinks away.
    I tried hooking up an Airport Express and have the same problem.
    Any pointers?

    Ensure that the ethernet is connected to the WAN port (with the dotted circle).
    You may have to reset and reconfigure your Airport Extreme.

  • Unable to connect Brother printer to Airport Extreme using USB

    Hi, I recently bought a Brother HL-2270DW printer, which has 802.11 b/g wireless capabilities.  My airport extreme (2008 model) is set to 802.11 n (5 ghz), so I can't set-up the printer wirelessly to the airport extreme without changing to 802.11 b/g.  Instead I'm fine hooking up the printer to the airport extreme using a USB.  When I first turn on the printer, I can print from my Macbook, but after a few minutes, the printer goes offline and has to be turned off/on.  When I try to Open Printer Utility, there is a connection error.  I have the right driver installed, and I can print fine for a few minutes after turning on the printer, and all the time when the printer is connected to the Macbook directly using the USB.  I would like to use the printer by connecting it to the airport extreme using the USB or Ethernet.  Any help would be much appreciated, thanks,

    Please explain exactly what you're experiencing that leads you to claim that.
    The current firmware of the TiVo Premier is easily confused about whether it's connected to the Internet or not.  In my experience, a TiVo unit will quickly regain its senses and decide that it really is connected.

  • Re : Apple TV doesn't connect to a Wi-Fi Broadband Internet Service using Airport Extreme

    Hi, using Airport Extreme (Airport Utility version 6.3.2, Internet :DHCP, Router mode : Off (Bridge)) with a Wi-Fi Broadband Internet service. My Desktop (iMac), Macbook,iPhone,iPad join the Airport Extreme Wirelessi network (WPA/WPA2 Personal) easily and Broadband ISP Login-page pops up with username & password options. However, in case of Apple TV (2nd Generation Software : 6.0.2 (6646.81.1)), it connects the Airport Extreme W-Fi network easily but no Broadband ISP Login-page pops up with username & password options. Even using the Ethernet connection of the said Wi-Fi Broadband Internet Service directly to the Apple TV, no internet network connects. Please help.

    There is no way you can handle login details with the ATV and there is probably no way you can do it with extreme in router mode either.. If you need to use a login name and password via a html screen then that is impossible in a device without html.
    But your newest addition confuses me.
    A slight correction in the question : the Broadband Internet Service isn't Wireless, but having Ethernet connection to the Airport Extreme.
    So how do your iphones pop up a login page.
    easily and Broadband ISP Login-page pops up with username & password options.
    The alternative method is to use a computer .. login to your service and use ICS through the computer to the ATV..
    See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jJe_BkQMRc
    Or any site that shows how to route internet through a computer.

  • When connecting wired my router straight from my internet provider I get speeds in the 90mps range.  Now when connecting wired through my airport extreme I get speeds near 10mps. Also when using wireless for my ipad3 I recieve download speeds of .63mps.

    When connecting, wired, to my router from my ISP I get speeds in the 90mbps range.  Then when connecting, wired, to my Airport Extreme I get speeds of 10mbps.  Wirelessly I get download speeds of 6mbps on my laptops and only 1mbs with my Ipad3.  I am making sure only one device is sharing the network to make sure to get accurate results.  Why are things so slow?

    Hi Ty,
    First, check with you ISP to see what speed they've promised.  In my case, they indicated that the speed should be greater than 50 Mbps.  If they say that it should be significantly higher than what your getting, then try the following if you're using Airport Utility v.6.:
    1. Open the Airport Utility (Desktop: Command+Shift+U to open Utility Folder, select Airport Utility)
    2. Click on the visual representation of the Airport Extreme and then select "Edit" (bottom right corner)
    3. When the window opens (to a tab "Base Station"), click on the "Wireless" tab,
    -it should have the following options: Network Mode, Wireless Network Name, Wireless Security, Wireless Password, Verify Password, a checkbox with "Enable Guest Network", and a button "Wireless Options..."]
    4. Select "Wireless Options", which should open another window with the following options:
    5Ghz network name, Country, a checkbox with "Create hidden Network", Radio Mode, 2.4 GHz Channel, and 5 GHz Channel [both of which can stay on "Automatic"]
    5. Clicking on  "Radio Mode" will bring up a list in which the las option should read:
    802.11n only (5Ghz) - 802.11n only (2.4 GHz)
    Once you click "Save", your router will blink amber for a little while and then it should work.
    Hope this helps.  Let me know if it does/doesn't.

    p.s. I apologize if the directions were excessively explicit, but I was thinking about my 73 year-old mother trying to follow them, so I erred on the side of making them more understandable.  Good luck.
