Canon WFT-E5 wireless transmitter to Airport Extreme to Mac Pro?

Can I use an Airport Extreme to connect a Canon 7D using the WFT-E5 wireless transmitter to get files onto a Mac Pro?
Or is there a better way.
It needs to upload immediately, as soon as a shot is captured.

Slow connections, weak signal, dropped, lost signal after sleep...
While Apple has a good "troubleshooting networking" the Mac Pro using Wireless has had more of its own. I would pick up a Netgear router, go wired.

How to get macbook pro to work with a canon wft-e6 wireless file transmitter

I recently purchased a Canon WFT-E6 wireless file transmitter for my 1DX Canon Camera. I can't find a way to set up my Notebook Pro to work with this device. Has anyone run into the same issue? and if so do you have a solution?

My guess is that you will see a wireless network in range using your Airport menu. The Airport menu looks like
. If it is all gray and nothing is inside of it, then the network was not properly setup. I do not have one, but if you tried to setup the network, and you can't see the device, then you might need Canon's support.

I'm trying to setup a printer go wireless through my airport extreme, but every time I try to print the printing file gets paused. I'm in loop. PLEASE HELP! (The printer is a Brother 7020 monochrome)

I had the exact same problem
It turns out I was using a 20 foot USB cable between the printer and the Airport Extreme and the signal had become to weak to work. Try using nothing more than a 6 foot cable or try a new cable

Can I use powerline wireless adapters with airport extreme

can I use power line wireless adapters with airport extreme?

Can this work?
Yes
I read somewhere that powerline adapters are not compatible with Airport.
That information is not correct.
If the AirPort Extreme is already set up as your "main" router, you would connect a short Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme to the power line adapter.
Locate another adapter in the area where you want to use the AirPort Express and connect a short Ethernet cable from the adapter to the Express.
Configure the Express to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, same security settings and and same password as the AirPort Extreme network and select the Bridge Mode setting for the Express so that it work correctly on the network.

Why doesn't friend's pc connect wirelessly to my Airport Extreme?

A friend's HP Pavillion zd7000 (laptop) does not connect to my Airport Extreme.
I have two other laptop pc's connecting just fine wirelessly to the Airport Extreme.
Also, I have an iMac connecting just fine wirelessly to the Airport Extreme.
My friend's pc DOES detect the wireless network, but it does not connect to the wireless network after I click on "connect".
As a test, I took my friend's pc to a PC repair shop that I use; and I found it connected just fine to the wireless network there - so I brought it home again.
I've re-typed the network password numerous times. Caps lock is off.
The 'Wireless Network Connection' window just says "waiting for network", and after a few minutes searches for available networks.
Repairing the connection doesn't work.
Removing the wireless network in Wireless Connection 3 Properties/Wireless Networks and then starting all over again results in the same situation.
I'm using WPA2 security setting on the Airport Extreme. My friends pc shows that as WPA-PSK. Anyway, I don't want to mess about with the Airport Extreme settings and risk messing up the working wireless connections with the other three computers.
I don't know what else to do.

Having Bonjour installed hasn't made a difference. I mean my friend's pc still does not connect to my wireless network.
Poking around in the Norton AntiVirus interface on the pc, hoping for possible clues, I saw the following:
After I click to make NAV produce a 'Netwok Map', a pop up window states "Devices on your network are not responding. Would you like to try again?"
Also, in the NAV Log Viewer, under Internet Worm Protection, under Activities,I see recent instances of preparations by several applications to connect to the internet, including Bonjour, NAV, and elements of Windows. Of course none of them are succeeding in connecting.

Can't get windows 7 netbook onto wireless internet via airport extreme.

I've spent 3 days trying to get my new Acer netbook with windows 7 home premium in it on the internet wirelessly through my Airport Extreme. It shows the internet is there but will not connect. It keeps asking me for a security key. I have tried my system password and the airport password, neither of them work. I have a feeling I'm just missing something in one of the settings but I am a die hard Apple/Mac user and this little windows machine is really killing me! The airport is working flawlessly for my Imac desktop and my Ibook so I know it isn't the airport. Anyone have any suggestions (other than getting rid of the Netbook?)

I'm kind of having the same problem. I can finally connect and get on the internet wirelessly but I can not setup my Airport Extreme. I just moved recently and I didn't have any issues at my old place and now I can use the internet and I get this blinking amber light and it's kind of annoying. Every time I click Manually Setup or Continue in the Airport Utilities my computer will try to detect any Apple devices, even though it right there on the left side it can not connect to it. At the same time I click either button my wireless disconnects for a second and reconnect.
I can't setup my Airport Extreme using this garbage OS they call Windows.

Trying to connect Verizon wireless router to Airport Extreme but error says Ethernet unplugged.

Trying to connect Verizon wireless router to Airport Extreme and error says Ethernet Unplugged.

So, AirPort Utility running on the Windows Vista desktop can "see" the AirPort Extreme and displays its icon, but gives that error message at some point in the setup process? How far does it get?
Other questions that may help me (or somebody else) understand your problem better:
Which of the pieces were verified as working before the introduction of the AirPort Extreme?
Did you have the desktop computer attached to the Verizon GT704WGB with one of the Ethernet cables you are now trying to use? Which one? Have you tried the other one to be sure it also works?
Are you using the same port on the GT704WGB? Have you tried another one?
If the desktop has multiple ethernet ports, are you using the same one?
Had you done any special configuration of the ethernet port on the Verizon GT704WGB to get it to work with your desktop?
What category ethernet cable are you using? 3? 5? 5e? 6?

How to disable the wireless section of Airport Extreme Base Station?

Is it possible to disable the wireless section of Airport Extreme Base Station?
It is because I do not want to have any high frequency radio signal which may be dangerous for small baby (no such proof for the moment, however).
Anyone using the new Airport Extreme Base Station please check and help.
Thanks!!

I think you are a little too concerned. Just for the sake of how to, here it is.
go to manual set up, airport, wireless, wireless mode, and then choose off.
good luck.

Wireless connection problems - Airport extreme card

Hi, I've just fitted an Airport extreme card to my PB 15" Aluminium and, in order to connect to the net via my third party wireless modem / router. The modem is provided by my ISP - T-Net, (Germany) and is a Speedport W501V and am having major dramas trying to connect wirelessly! I can connect via the built in ethernet port. but for can't with the airport card. The instructions for the modem are all in german, which is fair enough since I've just moved here, but isn't helping me try to sort out the connectivity problems 'cos I dont speak the language. I suspect that there are password issues or that the network settings are incorrect, the modem is definately 802.11 b/g compliant and i've been given a password that is 8 figures long - not the 5, 13, 10 or 26 figures that the apple support articles state for ASCII / HEX passwords respectively. After 3 days of trying I'm going mad! has anyone got any solutions / suggestions please.

It sounds like a WEP issue.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

Canon MP560 will not connect to airport extreme

Since I have gotten an Airport Extreme, I haven't been able to connect my Canon MP 560 to the network. It will see the network, but once i enter in the WEP key, I get the error message "failed to connect to the access point. check the access point settings and try again"
Everything worked fine when I was using my Dlink DIR 655.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
Matt

Thanks for your reply
I connected a Ethernet cable from the AP EXT to the AP EXP.
After starting Airport Utility an update was found to be required for the AP EXP.
The AP EXP updated and restarted (that took longer than expected) patients was required.
The Airport Utility still showing both devices.
Continued with the setup in Airport Utility, choosing to add to the existing wireless network.
After the successful update and restart I removed the ethernet cable and took the AP EXP downstairs and plugged in to the wall and some speakers.
restarted my modem
Airport Utility still shows both devices.
iTunes shows remote speakers (with the name I had chosen)
All works.
And yes faith is restored hallelujah !!!!
Thanks so much. Must go and start preaching the way of the Mac....
I hope this helps others.
Cheers

Time Capsule can't set up as wireless network, but Airport Extreme works

I just bought a Time Capsule to use as a back-up hard drive and a wireless network. I currently have a Airport Extreme for my wireless network and it works fine. When I try to plug in the ethernet cable into the Time Capsule to set up a new wireless network - all I get is a blinking amber light on Time Capsule and Airport Utility can not find Time Capsule. When I plug the ethernet cable back into the Airport Extreme to see if my DSL is working - the Airport Extreme light is back on and I can connect to the internet. I updated the Time Capsule with the latest firmware so that's no it. Any ideas?

OK, thanks for the clarification.
First, make a note of the configuration settings in the Airport Extreme as you will likely set up the TC the same way. Open AirPort Utility, click on Manual Setup at the bottom of the pane and then click on the Airport icon at the top of the next page, which is a summary of your settings. Would be a good idea to write these down and keep them handy.
Then do a hard reset on the Time Capsule to get it back to factory defaults. You would do this by first pulling the power cable for a few minutes. Then using an unfolded paper clip or something small, hold in the reset button on the back while you plug the power cable back in and continue to hold the reset button for at least 10-12 seconds before you release it.
Power off your computer, then restart. When it's back up, connect an ethernet cable from the computer to the WAN port on the back of the Time Capsule. This should help Airport Utility "see" the Time Capsule so you use Airport Utility to configure it.
If you have set up the Extreme, the TC set up is basically the same unless you have changed the modem or some other things in your network.
Post back on your progress.

Trouble setting up wireless cameras with airport extreme

I am trying to set up my alarm dot com wireless cameras and am having trouble getting them to connect to my Airport Extreme. With my prior D-Link router, there was no issue, but since upgrading to the Extreme, I can get them to locate the network, but not connect.

Add me to the list of people with Netgear DM111P ADSL modem and AEBS(n)...I can connect fine to the internet directly from MB Pro to modem, and for the last couple months have used the Netgear with my trusty AEX, no problem.
Now I finally get my AEBS from Canada (here in Dubai, UAE) and I have wasted hours trying to get on the internet with the AEBS. I have it configured exactly the same as the AEX is! One works fine, the other not at all. Exasperating.
I am using the Netgear with PPPoA Bridging (the correct setting for the ISP here and what works with the AEX and direct connection). The AEBS shows it is getting the IP correctly and has a solid green light. My MB Pro shows it is getting an IP from the AEBS's DHCP server. And shows entries for the DNS servers.
Yet..no internet. From the number of complaints with this exact same setup...it ain't me...I have used and configured over a dozen routers and modems from all major manufacturers, used DSL/ADSL/cable, PPPoe, PPPoA, etc etc...and I'm stumped.
This is NOT a typical Mac product. I am not happy. If someone figures this out, you will have my admiration.

Can I create a unique subnetwork when extending a wireless network using Airport Extreme?

My office building has an Airport Extreme to provide wifi to our individual suites. I would like to create a sub-network using my Airport Extreme for my suite only that uses the wifi signal from our office building and provides internet to the computers (both wired and wireless) in my suite but have it protected so that other suites in my building can't see my computers. Is this possible and how do I do it? I have currently set up my Airport Extreme in wifi-mode "extending a previous wireless network" and have the router with its unique router name. But once I extended the wireless network, I could not find the network name of my router, only the office name (the one I was extending). The computers connected via ethernet to my Airport have internet access but none of my wireless computers see my airport name, it sees the office building network name. I'm assuming they are connecting to my Airport since the signal level is much higher than before and it appears that my Airport is rebroadcasting the network name of my office building. Is there a way to have my Airport broadcast its unique identifier for wifi, still connect to the internet via wifi signal to the Office building airport and maintain segregation between my computers and the rest of my office building?
Also, when I use the Airport Utility on my Iphone, I see the internet -> the office airport extreme -> and then 2 different base stations connected in a Y. Mine and my neighbors (who is probably doing the same thing as I am). But there is a dotted line to my base station, does that mean I'm connected to the internet via my neighbor's airport?
Any thoughts?

It is not possible to configure a single Apple AirPort router in this manner using wireless only, but it would be possible to do this with a single AirPort if you connect your AirPort Extreme to the "main" router using a wired Ethernet connection.
As for wireless only....you could probably do what you want by using two Apple routers....an AirPort Express to join the wireless network and provide an Ethernet signal to the AirPort Extreme's WAN port. Then the AirPort Extreme could then be configured to provide a separate network using a different subnet.
Users on the "main" network would not be able to "see" any devices on your "private" network and vice versa.
I use the two router set up all the time at hotels that only provide a wireless signal. The first Express "joins" the wireless network and feeds an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort which is configured to "create a wireless network" in router mode.
This way, I can connect multiple devices to my "private" network, but only pay the hotel for one connection since the hotel router only "sees" the AirPort Express that joins the network.

Wireless modem and airport extreme

Hi. I recently bought airport extreme with the intention of using it to provide wireless access to my external hard drive and printer.
I have a netcomm nb5plus4w modem router which is connected to my broadband and currently provides wireless internet to our laptop.
I am wanting to connect the airport extreme to this current network wirelessly. Is this possible, or will I need to purchase an ethernet cable to connect my modem to the airport extreme??
I just attempted to connect it, and then had all sorts of trouble getting my modem back running with my isp.
Please use as simple language as possible. While I am the techno chick in my marriage, I am by no means proficient in the gobbledeygook language!!!!
Cheers.
i hope I have given enough info.

I am wanting to connect the airport extreme to this current network wirelessly. Is this possible, or will I need to purchase an ethernet cable to connect my modem to the airport extreme??
Sorry, but unlike the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) or the Time Capsule (TC), you will not be able to "join" an existing wireless network with the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) wirelessly to share USB drives/printers.
Since the router you are trying to connect to is not another AirPort, you will have to connect the two (as you suggested) with an Ethernet cable for sharing.
