Are you just trying to connect your MacBook Pro via wireless? Go to the AirPort menu, select the name of the wireless network that you want to join.
why you think i need a AirPort Extreme Base to enable connect it?
Because you asked about installing the AirPort software. The software for the MacBook's wireless capability is built into OS X.

I cannot get my Airport Extreme to talk to my cable modem

I cannot get my Airport Extreme to talk to my cable modem. Cable modem is a Cisco, new, Charter cable company. New wires throughout. Connected to internet currently hardwired to cable modem. So I have internet service to the modem.

The modem needs an extended power down period in order to reset, as it is "remembering" your computer and thus will not associate with the AirPort Extreme.
See this User Tip from forum expert Tesserax:

I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Install of airport extreme card...

I have tried to install an airport extreme card in my iMac G4, but my computer will not power up with the card installed? But it starts up fine without the card in place. Is it the card or computer? The airport extreme card I have has the atenna connection to the side (not in the middle) on the end of the card.

Hey Michele,
The airport extreme card I have has the atenna connection to the side (not in the middle) on the end of the card.
Well that sounds like an Airport Extreme Card:

Does it look like that one?
I have a iMac PowerPC G4 800mhz 17in display...purchased about 2004
That takes the original Airport card like here:

I-book cannot find the Airport Extreme

I have an i-book, G-3, 14" screen. I just had the logic board replaced through the Apple store because the video card died. Prior to this, I had no problem logging onto the Internet via the Airport Card and my Airport Extreme.
After the repair, I took the i-book home to find that it cannot find the Airport Extreme signal, even when the i-book is one foot away from the Airport Extreme.
I played with the Airport settings for an hour and at one point, got a very weak signal showing on the tool bar. I've tried removing/reinstalling the Airport card and antenna with no results. I've even tried resetting the Airport Extreme by depressing the reset button for 10-seconds, but get no flashing red centerlight as the instructions say I should for a hard reset.
Could this problem have something to do with the new logic board? If so, what's the fix?

Hi, and <IMG src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c55/rondaleroi/welcome.gif"</SUB> to Apple Discussions.
Does adjusting the angle of the display make a difference in the signal strength?
Sometimes the AirPort antenna can get pinched in the hinge, or even broken.
I had an AirPort card that just all of a sudden quit working. I had to buy a new one. Do you know someone you could swap with to make sure it isn't the card itself? (My husband swapped his and my cards--that's how we diagnosed the bad card here.)

I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but the printer won't work with the new one.

My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but I'm having trouble with the new one. When I try to print, I get a USB Waiting message on the printer, and when I force a page to print by pressing Go on the printer, I get a page that says ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: true. . . .cvt . . . fpgm . . . x . . .lglyf . . . <..J head . . . STACK: / [ -mark- /sfnts I’ve tried shutting down the printer and disconnecting it and the Airport, but that doesn’t help. I reset the settings on the printer. I upgraded the Airport firmware and removed, reinstalled, and upgraded the Lexmark printer driver. After I upgraded the firmware and printer driver, a few pages printed correctly, but then I got the same syntax error page as before. Any suggestions for getting the printer to work correctly?

Use a powered USB hub between the AE and the printer.. the usb port does sometimes have issues.
Try deleting the printer in the Mac and reinstall it.. the change in AE can represent effectively a change of printer.. it is important to make sure that is all up to date.
Beyond that.. USB printers.. ughhh! Consider for two toners you can go and buy a proper network printer.

What is Error 2813 while trying to install my Airport Extreme Base Station(A1143/MA073LL/A)? and How can I fix it? Thanks

Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
Check the network

Installing the airport extreme/bluetooth card

Are there any instructions available for installing this card in my Quad?
TIA,
Jay

Apple says
...or you can add wireless capability post purchase1 by having an Apple Authorized Service Provider or a retail Apple Store install the AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card for you. The AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card is not a DIY (do-it-yourself) part.
Therefore your best bet is to get it installed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider or a retail Apple Store.
I am unable to find any instructions to do it yourself.

HT4145 Does this article apply to OS X Lion and Airport Utility 6.0? Reason: Airport Utility cannot find my Airport Extreme (4th generation) wirelessly on my Time Capsule configured network even although the firmware in both units is up to date.

Reason: Airport Utility cannot find my Airport Extreme (4th generation) wirelessly on my Time Capsule configured network even although the firmware in both units is up to date.

I thought you were trying to Extend the network with an Express as the article mentions you pointed to...
You can't find the Airport Extreme then...
I woudl suggest doing a Factory reset....
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728
Then you should be able to set it up just as you did when it was new....
Factory default reset (using reset button)
If the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule isn't accessible from AirPort Utility, the Factory Default reset can be accomplished by using the reset button.
Unplug the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule from power.
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil, then plug the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule back in while continuing to hold the button until you see the light (LED) flash rapidly. This should happen after a few seconds.
Release the button. This will factory default reset the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.

Installing an AirPort Extreme Card in a new Mac Pro 3

I am a brand new Mac convert. I just purchased a new Mac Pro 3.QX and have to install an Airport Extreme Card. I'll be damned if I can find out where it should be installed...

Ok, so this is pretty hard to explain without pictures but lets go through it step by step.
Before you ever handle the inside of your computer first make sure the computer is off and has had sufficient time to cool off. Also make sure that you have already discharged any static from your body. In addition make sure all cords are unplugged from the computer and you use all proper safety equipment.
-Lay the computer on it's side and take off the side panel.
-Connect the airport antenna wires to the antenna connectors on the card. (Make sure you connect the wires labeled "1" and "3", the other should be taped to the side.)
-Insert the card into the connector on the logic board at a slightly upward angle and then when it's in, lower the screw end of the card down.
-Install the two airport extreme card screws, replace the side of your computer, and you're done.

Cannot download latest airport extreme security update.

When I try to download it, it say, it cannot download on my computer.
I checked to make sure I had the correct build in the kbase and I have.
I tried and tried.
I downloaded straight from the ethernet to my computer, not from my airport extreme base station. Still wouldn't no install.
I tried doing it just while using my airport basestation...still won't install..
The words, this software cannot be installed on your computer.
I tried doing it through the extreme base station.
Any advice?
When I do a software update, the airport security update does not come up.

Since my Tiger 10.4.7 computer is awaiting a replacement battery on recall,
I have not updated some of the software in it, because I haven't been able
to really use it for more than a month of waiting.
But, there are a few different recent downloads for 10.4.7 computers; and
some are specific to Intel® equipped new Mac hardware. What download(s)
are you referring to exactly (?) - as shown here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
My 10.3.9 computer is in reasonably good shape; and the last AirPort
download did not seem to apply to it; sure, I downloaded one, but the
other did not seem to apply. And from what I heard from a few user's
experience after one of the 10.4.7 Airport downloads, I'm glad it didn't
want to be downloaded in my situation; since my wireless just works.
And there's nobody nearby to try to gain access to my wi-fi system.
Did you try repairing disk permissions before any download/install
attempts; and is the system in otherwise good general repair?

Cannot print from airport extreme

I am trying to attach my Epson printer via USB to airport extreme. printing does not work, cannot see printer as being attached. have installed Bonjour, turned PC off and on. no luck. any suggestions?

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

HP Deskjet 3550 cannot print using Airport Extreme via USB connection on Windows 7 64 bits

Product Name and Number: HP Deskjet 3550 Inkjet Printer
Operating System installed: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits
Error message: None
Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: Setting up HP printer using Airport Utility to add a new printer and installed Bonjour Print Wizard.
Problem: My printer is already set up using Airport Utility. When I print something, the printer doesn't do anything. Is there something I haven't done lately in order to get this printer working using my wifi router?
Suggestion #1: Are the print jobs getting stuck in the print queue? You can check this by clicking on the printer icon in your task tray by the clock.
Error Message #1: Yes, the print job got stuck in the print queue, but the moment, it disappeared from the print queue and the printer doesn't print at all. This is frustrating.
Suggestion #2: Does the printer work as expected if you connect it directly to the PC via USB?
Error Message #2: Yes, the printer works if I connect it directly to my PC via USB, but I don't understand why it wouldn't work with the wifi router, though.
Suggestion #3: This has to do with the way the router handles the connection to the printer. I found another thread, regarding this issue, and it has some information that may help resolve it.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Print-Problem-Using -USB-Printer-on-Airp...
If that does not help, I would recommend posting on the Apple forums, as they may have more expertise with the router's abilities:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport
Error Message #3: After clicking on the first link that you posted, it was very helpful, but the printer couldn't print completely and somehow it would stop at the quarter of a paper. It looks incomplete when I took it out from my printer. It does that every time.

UPDATE!
Problem solved! So this is just a followup in case someone else ever stumbles into these boards with the same or similar problems as mine, that is, trying to run an HP Deskjet D1500 series printer [mine's a D1520] on an Airport Extreme wifi router's USB port as a network printer [with the Airport Extreme controlled by an ancient G4 PowerMac Quicksilver currently running OS X 10.4.11).
Although it probably SHOULDN'T matter, since this type of printer works fine with just the Tricolor cartridge as shipped when hooked up directly to a computer's USB port, on a hunch I got a black HP cartridge (that's a type 21, not type 22 as I had earlier said), slapped it in, tried a test page, and all's well. So, we can call off the technoid hounds. Everything running perfectly.
I hope this message in a bottle may help someone else out there some day soon who may be scratching his or her head with a similar stumper. And just to recap those important Windows printer settings, they are:
* [Printer Properties--> Ports--> Add New Port...] "Standard TCP/IP Port"
* [Configure Port] IP Address "10.0.1.1" and Port "9100"
Best of luck!

Cannot login to airport extreme router settings

Hi
I've recently moved from an iiNet ADSL2+ service to NBN, in Australia. Everything has worked perfectly fine, and continues to, with relation to internet connectivity.
I've just signed up for an iiNet VOIP NetPhone service, and purchased a Gigaset C610 VOIP phone. In trying to connect with my current hardware, I'm running into constant difficulties. The first step is meant to be to login to my modem/router with my new iiNet NetPhone details. However, when I type my IP into Safari, I constantly get error messages saying that it cannot connect to the server.
I'm using an Airport Extreme Base Station, connected via ethernet to one of my Cat6 internet points. This then connects to my NBN box, located in my garage.
I've tried:
various IP address (10.0.1.1, 192.168.1.1 etc.)
connecting my MacBook via wifi and hardwiring
resetting and later restoring my Airport
using different computers (Mac and PC) to login
The internet still works fine, through ethernet and wifi - I just cannot login to my router.
I've phoned my ISP for support and they've said I need to go through Apple as it sounds like something is wrong with my router.
Any help?
Cheers,
Evan
