Changing wifi router on existing

I have a 3tb time capsule. I've had to change my wifi router and can now not get control of the time capsule. The airport utility does not recognise it and the time capsule has an orange flashing light on the front.
How to I get the time capsule to connect to the new wifi network?

Plug it in via ethernet to the main router.. or directly to a computer.. you need to directly connect to reset it and use the utility.

How do I set up Express box as addition to existing WIFI router?

Used to be able to do this when setting up the Express box, as I did years ago at home. But there's no option in the install process to enable this - which renders the product pretty useless.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Neil

Hi Bob
thanks for getting responding to my request.
When I originally set up Airport express network at home, the set up software gave a couple of options, to either be a stand alone wifi node, or be added to existing router - not necessariy an Apple one - I have a Netgear router at home. This was a decade or so ago.
We recently bought Airport Express box for the office as we want to stream music to it and the set uo software has changed in that it insists the Airport Express box is connected to a router with a cable - which defeats the point of a WIFI product.
So - my question was how to do this as it is insane that a wifi box cannot connect via wifi to a wifi router.
However we found a solution by using the Apple Remote app to set up the Airport Express box so that it has been added to the Netgear router we have in the office.
So - it turns out you can connect an Apple Airport express box wirelessly to a non Apple wireless router, but not with Apple Airport assistant utility - you have to use Remote on an iPhone.
This isn't how I'd configure the products, but hey, what do I know?
Cheers

After recent updates, my speeds have dropped off. My iTunes pauses and buffers frequently during a song. Apple has kindly replaced my Apple TV, but the problem remains. I have spent big money on the latest WiFi router (Netgear), but no change. What gives?

I am using Apple TV, linked to my computer network via a NetGear WiFi router. After the latest apple updates, it now takes forever to load my library from my computer. Music pauses frequently to buffer before continuing, and pictures take a long time to load. Apple has replaced my apple tv on warranty, but nothing has improved.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

How to create extend network through existing wifi router-Belkin N150

Dear sir,
I like to inform you that customer are using belkin N150 wifi router in his room( For wifi) but he want to extend his network with the help of airport express through existing network (wifi).Is it possible to extend network by the airport express?Please give the suggestion or step to configure the airport express through existing WIFI network.
I am waiting for your reply as earliest.
Thanks,
Dipankar Das

.Is it possible to extend network by the airport express?
Yes, if the AirPort Expess will connect to the Belkin router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection.
No, if you want the AirPort Express to connect to the Belkin router using wireless.
If you want to extend using wireless, then use another Belkin product, which will be compatible with your Belkin router.

AirportExpress - AirTunes doesn't work any more after wifi router change

AirTunes doesn't work any more since I have changed my wifi router.
I have fully reseted the AirportExpress station. I can see the AEX station in the drop down menu of iTunes but it can't connect.
When I use Airfoil, all works fine.
I have tried to trash to Airport preference file but this was unsuccessful as well
Any idea to correct this ?

Try the following steps and let me know if this works for you.
Press the wireless button on your printer, go to print reports, and select configuration.
After you have that, we will need to access the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS). You can do so by entering the printers IP address (from the network configuration page) into your browsers address bar and pressing enter.
Once there, press the "Network" tab at the top of the page. From there you will want to click the "IPv4" button, located on the lef-hand side of the page. It will be there for WIreless and Wired, so make sure to click the one for you however you are connected. If you do not see "IPv4", you should see "Networking", press that and then press "Network Address(IP)".
Next, you will want to click the small round button next to "Manual IP Address" and then fill in the boxes for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway, using the information found on the network configuration page.
For the Primary or Preffered DNS Server, you will want to enter 8.8.8.8.
For the Secondary or Alternate DNS Server, you will want to enter 8.8.4.4.
Click apply and when the message pops up saying that the changes have been applied, press "OK".
Press the power button on your printer, wait for it to fully power off and then press it again to power it back on.
After doing this, go ahead and try to enable ePrint again.

HT204409 I keep seeing "change my router" as a solution to wifi problems, I cannot change hotel routers! ***, please Apple, I have been a big fan but this is crazy, only my Apple products are not working on wifi!

This wifi issue is bad, all other products I have work fine, but my iPad (fully update, re-installed, re-booted, etc...) will not work. Time to return it and switch to another vendor? Many of the solutions I see are change your router. I cannot change a Hotel router, a companies router! Please Apple fix this ASAP prem price and not working!

the iPad should work with most wifi routers. There are some old wife routers it may not. Your ipad coiuld have a hardware problem.
Does it work with some routers? Have you hung out in the lobby of the hotel and asked if other ipad users are having a problem. What does the hotel staff say?
You could carry a mini wifi router with you and connect the mini via ethernet cable.
Find the make and model of the wifi router. We can check if other ipad owners are having problem.
a 4g solution.
I recently signed up for FreedomPop.com. http://www.freedompop.com
FreedomPop provides 500meg of free 4g cellular data per month! You do need to buy their wireless device at $39. Your machine needs wifi capability. There are ways of getting bonus megs. One gig of addition data costs $10 per month. I used about 15megs per hour of lite internet surfing.
When signing up, you need to be careful with your selections. On some screens, the free option is a small link below the large button. FreedomPop employs a Pavlovian Dog < Operant conditioning > thing of getting you used to clicking on the large button then they change the large button to a paid add-on.
Once you setup your account, you need to go to your account options screen to turn off automatic paid data download once you exceed your quota.
The performance seems a little slower than my DSL connection.

WiFi Router doesn't see Airport Express; Admin Utility does; No music :-(

I brought in the Geeks on Call service after struggling for a long time to setup the WiFi Router, AX, etc. The Airport Express streamed music to my stereo for one day, before my computer restarted. Now I've lost connectivity. Here's the current details:
1) WiFi router's "Connected Devices" list does not show the AX; [Router is Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router (WPN824)]
2) Apple's Airport Admin Utility does show the AX (a.k.a. "Living-Room")
3) AX light is green, saying its connected to the network
4) iTunes speaker chooser only shows "My Computer"
Now for the bad news about what I tried that may have made things worse. Previously, the "Connected Devices" was showing the AX, but the Admin Utility was not showing it. The IP addresses of my Dell desktop & the AX were very close & I recalled the Geek saying it was a problem if they were too similar. So, I manually changed the 2nd to last # of the AX’s IP from 0 to 1. (i.e. from xxx.xx.0.x to xxx.xx.1.x) Now, I can’t login to the AX to change it back and the situation is as described above. (Its not accepting the password when I login thru the Admin Utility. I didn’t change the password from “public”.) [When I made this change, the AX started showing up in the Admin Utility and stopped showing on the WiFi’s “Connected Devices.” Previously, I had to manually enter the IP address in the Admin Utility to make it see it.]
I’ve tried: unplugging the AX; restarting iTunes; other “standard” passwords to login to the AX; waving my hands over it and making strange noises that scare my dog.
I admit it: This is an example of thinking I knew just enough to fix something, but ya end up worse off.
Thanks for the help!
Dell desktop Windows XP Router is Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router (WPN824)

Excellent. I'm all squared away. It works.
For the record, the steps were:
* Connect AX to WiFi Router with Ethernet Cable;
* Reset the AX with paperclip;
* Select Factory Fresh Profile
* Follow the steps in link above to "Join an existing Network..." including:
* In Network Name, enter name of my wifi net, as set in router setup
* Enter WEP password (even though your password may be all #s, I needed to select HEX)
* Select Update to send settings to AX;
* Once AX restarted and light is green (connected), unplug ethernet cable (should stay connected & green);
* Check iTunes and ensure it shows up in the speaker chooser;
* Unplug & move to electrical outlet near stereo and connect;
* It works...
THANKS Duane for the help!!!! Without you, I'd still just have a shiny white paperweight. Cheers, T

My apple tv mirroring is slow. So slow it shuts off. Any thoughts on cause? I use this device in my office for presentations without a problem. In my home with a stronger wifi router, I'm having issues.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to. I can't find anywhere in the utility or network preferences that will allow me to choose this router as the default. How do I fix this? BTW I'm using Lion.

Are there any previous networks that you have used that have the same password as Molly? YES
Using System Preferences > Network > AirPort Advanced again, you need to remove any listings of previous networks that used the same password as Molly. Click the name of the network and click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list of connections.
Also delete any other networks (except Molly at the top of the list) that might have used the same name...Molly in the past.
Delete any other networks that you no longer need so that your Mac will search for networks more quickly
Click OK, then click Apply
Open KeyChain Access and look for a listing of any old networks that you no longer need. Click to highlight the name of the network, then click the Delete Key on your computer.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the name Molly in the past and do the same for them.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the same password as the password for your "new" Molly network and delete them in the same way
Click the KeyChain Access menu just next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen
and then click KeyChain First Aid
Enter the main administrator password for the Mac you are using and highlight the Repair button. Then click Start. You will see a message that repairs have been completed
Quit Keychain Access
Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
Power up the modem first, then your main router, the other devices one at a time
Log on to Molly and see if the Mac remembers it after a few tries. If not, I'm afraid that you will need to change the name of the wireless network and password on your router due to corruption issues on the Mac. You have done everything possible without re-installing the complete operating system.

Connecting T5 to Netgear WiFi router

I have been trying to connect my T5 using the Palm WiFi card to my Netgear DG834G ADSL WiFi router and have read the very helpful check list provided on your site as well as the other correspondence. I started with the usual problem of the thing disconnecting after trying to download the IP and worked up to manual entry of IPs and DNSs etc.
So far I have :-
Found the T5 MAC and entered it as a trusted device in the router.
From the router itself I have found :-
The two DNS values (these are for the ADSL port?)
The hex 128 bit Key (all 4 are the same) and checked it against a separate key generator using the phrase I entered when I set the router up with the P.C.
The following IP address information:- For the ADSL port:- the IP address and it’s mask, network type (PPPoa), the IP address for the gateway and the two DNS values. I have also found the IP address for the router LAN port.
Loading these in various combinations into the T5 setup in manual causes the unit to seem to log on and display the field strength. But Blazer etc does not work. If I change the WEP key to make it wrong it logs on in the same way, which is very suspicious!
I have managed to get the T5 to download the IP address in auto (after setting it as a trusted device in the router) by switching to ad-hoc and it returns a message saying that it has "connected". Checking the network "info" in prefs/WiFi then shows an IP not found in the router information with it’s mask. However, no DNS info or IP address in the line called "Router" shows up and although the response from Blazer is different (quick connect and URL rejection), nothing works. Manually entering the DNSs with auto IP recovery in ad-hac did not change anything.
I have been through entering the WEP key in hex etc.
Of all the IP address information available, which ones should be entered in the three fields required on the T5? The DNS values relate to the ADSL port. Is this OK.
I would welcome any suggestions. I have yet to try it at a remote site, but I am sure the basic kit is OK, just finger trouble !!!
Thanks in advance

Russel, you haven't mentioned if you have the router's comm. speed set to be compatible with an 802.11/b device.
Do you have this setting correct?

IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
TIA
Rich

You IT person should be able to sort this out. But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this. Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
Any could be lots of things.
The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc? The internet settings are all the same. Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

How to move Wifi Router

Hello, I am wondering how to move my M1424WR Wifi router. It does not reach some places of my house because the Verizon man who installed it put it in a corner in my basement. It uses a power cord and a coax cord which connects to a splitter. Then the splitter connects to the Verizon white box. I was wondering if I was to move it to a better location where to plug the COAX cord into.
Any help would be very appreciated, thanks.

You can connect to any COAX that comes from your ONT. If you have FiOS TV you can use a splitter and connect there. Or run an additional COAX from an existing line to where you want your router.

To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
- Wireless Network: <select the existing Netgear wireless network>
Music tab
- Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
- Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
- iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
- iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:

I´ve problem to set up a 2. WIFI Router

Hi togehter
I´m a custumer from Verizon Vios and I´ve the Verizon 9100EM router. So far so fine :-)
I live in one condo and I need a second WIFI router because I need a stronger WIFI signal. I buy allready one Netgear router WGR614 v8 and I install allready the newest FW V1.1.24_14.0.43NA on my Netgear router, but my Netgear router and the Verizon router don´t work together... The Netgear router have allready the WDS feature.
I´m not really a network specialist and I need your help. Need I a diverent rounter, or have I to change somethink on the settimgs?
Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate that really :-)
Juergen

The Verizon FIOS Router will work with your Netgear Router.
It can be configured many different ways, here is one way:
Configure Netgear to use a Static address of 192.168.1.2 so that it will not conflict with the Verizon Route on 192.168.1.1
Disable DHCP Server on Netgear
Disable Wireless on Verizon Router
Connect Lan Port 1 of Verizon Router to Lan Port 1 of the Netgear
This will make your Netgear Router operate like a switch and wireless access point. All of the Routing, Firewall, and DHCP will be handled by the Verizon Router.
