Have 2 airport extreme base stations connected in chain. Airport utility shows slave unit without power. However, power is on slave unit, but status lights do not show up at all. Small green lights at each back port blink. Anyone have any ideas?

Unfortunately, you are describing the symptoms of an AirPort Extreme with a failing (or failed) internal power supply.
As a last resort, try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Power off the AirPort by pulling the power cord
Wait a minute or two
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
Now try to configure the AirPort again. If you continue to see the same symptoms as before, the AirPort will need to be replaced.

Time Capsules solid amber, can't connect or see with airport utility

Yesterday, my internet (both wired and wireless on different computers) suddenly went down. My network could not be found. This happened 2-3 times with outages of about 5-10 minutes each. Later, it went down and hasn't come back up since. I have two TIme Capsules on the same network and both simultaneously went solid amber. Additionally, plugging my MBP into the primary time capsule via ethernet does not reveal the TC in airport utility. My internet is fine as I can connect to my modem via ethernet just fine. This is what I have tried...
- deleting the system config folder
- unplugging time capsules
- restarting my computers (currently 6 macs on the network).
Not sure if this matters, but my computer that is connected wired normally, was just updated to Snow Leopard. I haven't updated the others yet.
Please help! I can't get my work done without this. Thanks

Hello okiska. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
under system preferences is says "airport is connected to the network", and Airport utility says "your apple wireless device does not have a valid IP address".
What these are telling you is that your MacBook Pro is connecting to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), but the AEBS is not "communicating" with the modem.
I suggest a complete power recycle of your network components to get things working again.
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, AEBS, & 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, AEBS, & 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 AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

IPad2 internet connection "disconnected" shown in AirPort Utility with Time capsue

Hi, our internet connection through our Time Capsule is working well with MacBook Air and Macmini but not iPad2.
In the AirPort Utility app of iPad2 there is a green spot at the picture of Time Capsule but there is a orange spot at the picture of the globe. While in MacBook it is green both the globe and Time Capsule.
In AirPort Utility app of iPad2 after tapping at the globe the internet connetion show "Disconnected"
We are under proxy internet connection.
Wireless internet connection of this iPad2 was OK with other networks.
Please suggest some solutions.
Thanks

Welcome to the discussions, MindSprout!
I'm following your post with interest because I have an HP 6210 as well with a 1TB Time Capsule. No issues at all since it was installed over a year ago. I'm not using Snow Leopard (yet), so can't offer any comments as to whether that might be one of the possible issues here, but that was my first thought.
If I get SL installed this weekend, I will post back with results.
The other thought that comes to mind is that there may be a problem with the printing instructions passing through the USB port on your TC. I can't answer why a hard drive functions perfectly, though.

How to extend range of my wireless network with an Airport Express connected by ethernet with Airport Utility 6.0

Hi everyone,
I have AirPort Express 802.11n (1st Gen) firmware 7.6.1, that is connected to my main wifi base station (a TimeCapsule) by ethernet. I would like to extend the range of the Wifi Network but am not clear on how to do so using the new interface of Airport Utlity 6.0.
Does anyone have any tips on how to do this?

Hi Everyone!
Many thanks for the tips. I have downloaded 5.6 and have set my Airport Express in the "Extend a wireless network" mode. I was still having a few problems with the quality of the wifi connection in different parts of my apartment (by no means a very large one, but walls seem to be made of extra dense concrete here in Singapore) and went out and bought a few powerline adapters by TP Link (http://www.tp-link.sg/products/details/?categoryid=1862&model=TL-PA211#spec).
If you don't mind a slightly long post, I would be very grateful for any tips:
My setup is now as follows:
Main room
Time Capsule - connected to a Cisco DPC3925 Modem (http://www.cisco.com/web/consumer/support/modem_DPC3925.html) both connected to a TP Link adapter 1.
iMac - connected via Ethernet to TP Link adapter 2 and wifi enabled
Airport Express 1 - connected by Ethernet to TimeCapsule (and thus TP Link adapter 1) used to stream audio to a stereo that doesn't have an optical cable input. Since it is an Ethernet connection, I have wifi turned off.
Apple TV 1 - connected by Ethernet to TimeCapsule (and thus TP Link adapter 1)
Bedroom A
Airport Express 2 - connected via ethernet to TP Link adapter 3
Bedroom B -
Apple TV 2 - connected by Ethernet to a TP Link adapter 4
After following the tips on setting up the extended wifi network, I find that when I use a wireless client (e.g. iPad, Macbook air, etc) in either Bedroom B or Bedroom C (both don't have wifi in the room) the connection is very poor. Even more odd is that the connection in Bedroom A, one that does have Airport Express 2. To be clear when I mean very poor, I mean Skype/facetime skips frames and freezes... this doesn't happen when I am in the main living area.
I would be very grateful for tips on how to set up the most robust network given the configuration above. Specifically, I am wondering about:
When I select Extend a wireless network option on Airport Utility 5.6 the summary page states that it is connecting using "Wireless Network" vs what I would expect it to say "Ethernet connection".
Is there any advice on whether to enable 5Ghz network and if so, should I try to use that for the various wifi clients?
Does anyone know if I can somehow use Apple products to extend the reach of the Cisco DPC3925? Frustratingly the signal is quite strong (compared to Apple routers), but I cannot properly stream audio/video if that wifi network is used (as my iMac that hosts the content is on the Apple one... and I'd have to walk over to switch it to the Cisco one).
Any other tips would be much appreciated!
Cheers!

Connected to TC but Airport Utility can't see it

My TC arrived today and it is all setup. I just noticed that, even though I am connected to it wirelessly, when I run the Airport Utility, it says it cannot see any Airport.
Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions?

I had the same issue and Tech Support helped me resolve it. First, they had me connect an Ethernet cable between my iMac and Time Capsule. Apparently, setup is especially sensitive to wireless interference. Then they had me turn off AirPort (click on the pie-shaped icon at the top right next to the time). I went through the setup process and established a new network. At the end of the setup, Time Capsule restarts and the flashing amber light turns solid green. Then I turned on AirPort and opened Time Machine and my Time Capsule was finally there. Then I disconnected the Ethernet cable and my wireless connection is now working. I hope this helps!
PS: Support recommended doing the very first backup via Ethernet because it's faster than wireless.

HT3728 time capsule not connected (not seen in AirPort Utility)

I have recently moved and my Time Capsule does not appear on AirPort Utility just has a flashed amber light. I've tried a factory reset as I have recent upgraded to a second hand MacBook Pro. Some threads suggest a full backup and reinstall of OSx will do the trick but this seems extreme... any other ideas?

Do this in full isolation..
Plug a LAN port of TC into the MBP by ethernet.. I hope yours has an ethernet port.
Turn off wireless in the MBP.. disconnect anything else from the TC.
Now see if the airport utility can find it.. if nothing.. then do a factory reset of the TC..
ie.. hold in reset before you power on the TC.. keep holding in reset for 10sec after the TC powers on.. three arms or a friend helps if you don't have 3 arms. Hold in reset until the front led flashes rapidly. Then release.
Airport utility will now be able to find the TC..
Set it up as you like.. do everything.. wireless, TC name.. security.. etc. update the TC.. then return to the network.
NOTE.. no reset on the TC will do anything to data on the TC hard disk ..
You certainly do not have to wipe the laptop.. but if you have continuing wireless issues.. a clean install might be the only way to fix it.. upgrade installs are still bad news.

Lose connection to WiFi via Airport

I have a MacBook using AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8D), firmware version (Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.131.42.4) to connect to my Motorola Surfboard. I occasionally looks my connection with the wifi for no reason. If I turn off Airport then turn it back on it will reconnect. Anyone know why this may be happening?

Hello omniges
Continue your troubleshooting with the article below. Try forgetting the network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi, and tap the info button and then tap Forget this Network. You also may want to reset the network settings on your iPad as well

Devices connect to wifi (via airport) but not to internet.

Devices (macbook and iphones) which previously connected via our home wifi are no longer working. They connect to our wfi network fine (or seem to). This is generated via the airport on our imac, OSX version 10.6.8.
None of the devices will actually connect to the internet via the wifi (although the phones do it fine on 4G).
Thee were some messages about allowing various applications access to network sharing (or something) when I started the mac this morning. for some of these I clicked "deny" as I did not know why I was seeing them, what the applications were, or really what they meant. It was out of the blue and seemed a bit odd. This may have caused the problem. All the diagnostics I have run, and network rebuilding has not helped.
Hope someone has some ideas.

Try shutting everything down. Then in order restart your cable/dsl modem, your Airport router and finally your computer. Let each device fully start before powering up the next one.

Constant lost connections to wifi over airport -2 different providers tried

I started having problems with airport on both my iMac and Macbook when I had Cox cable internet, with a motorolla cable modem and a Belkin N+ router. The computer would always remain connected to the router but at several times during the day there would be no internet connection. To remedy the situation I would have to click and turn airport off then back on and when it reestablished connection it would work fine again. This might not sound like much but its extremely annoying to try to use the computer and it not work then turn the wireless off then back on.
I recently changed internet to AT&T U-verse which has cable modem and wireless G router built in. When it started it was fine but now my iMac is having the same issues as before and I can't get my macbook to connect to the internet at all. Is there a reason that airport keeps having these problems and is there a way for me to fix this so it stops dropping my connection?
(additional info: I have a WPA personal password on both networks I had)

no one?????

Cannot connect to AirPort Express after setting it up in AirPort Utility

I have two PCs: one has a Linksys WMP54G wireless card to connect to my AirPort Express which is connected to a wired Linksys ethernet router; the other has an ethernet card which is also connected to the Linksys router. My cable modem is plugged into the router in order to provide internet access to both PCs. I came home from work yesterday to discover that my wireless PC could not connect to my AX. I have had the AX for over a year and it has pretty much worked fine up until yesterday. And it has worked fine for the past couple months connecting to the cable modem via the Linksys router. Connecting to the internet on my wired PC is no problem at all.
First, I tried unplugging the cable modem and the AX, but no luck. After reading these discussions, I tried doing a hard reset on the AX and going through the AirPort Utility setup, but still no luck. I tried this several times, trying to configure it using both WEP and WPA. I think I originally had it set up as WEP, but when I reinstalled Windows at one point, I think I configured it as WPA (and it worked fine). I am not sure if this may be part of the problem When I reset the AX, it will eventually show up on the Windows Wireless Network list as an "Apple-09s8f23" unsecured network. Once I connect, I run the AirPort Utility (v5.3.2) and it detects it no problem. But after I go through the configuration process in the AP Utility, it gives me an error message: "AirPort Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restarting...etc.". Meanwhile, the network still shows up in my Windows Wireless Network list, but cannot connect to it, and the light on the AX is still green. I have tried unplugging the ethernet cable to the AX, moving the AX to the same room as my wireless PC, and repeating the reset-configuration process, but still no luck, so I don't think it has anything to do with the Linksys router or the cable modem.
Sorry for the wordy post, but does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Dave

So I went back to the PC after my original post, and somehow I was able to connect to the AirPort wireless network in the Windows Wireless Network List. Once I did this, it showed up in the AirPort Utility, and I was able to access the internet. I have no idea what fixed the problem, but maybe it was simply a matter of waiting a few minutes before connecting to the network?

Can't connect via Airport Utility

Just noticed that my shared USB drive wasn't connecting so I opened Airport Utility and got this message when trying to manually access my Airport Extreme:
Make sure your AirPort wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)
Even after restarting the base station and my Mac Pro I receive that error. I am connected to it via ethernet. Thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

A full manual factory reset did the trick, yes.
I followed Bob's instructions (apologies for calling you Bill - don't know where that came from! )
Pull the power plug on the Extreme
Wait a moment
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in while you plug the power back in
Release the reset button after 10 seconds of plugging the power back in

Airport Utility says Mac connected to unkown Time Capsule

Hi,
I have an issue with Airport Utility (6.3.2) and a Time Capsule in my local network. This is happening at work where I have an iMac connected to the local LAN via an Ethernet connection. Wireless airport is switched off. When I open Airpot Utility, however, it shows my computer connected to a Time Capsule somewhere in my local network. See the image below.
None of my colleagues, nor the system administrator, knows to whom that Time Capsule belongs to nor were it is located. If I go to System Preferences > Network and I disable the Ethernet port ("Configure IPv4", select "Inactive") my internet connection is gone, but Airport Utility still shows the Time Capsule as connected to my iMac.
The only manner in which Airport Utility will show the Time Capsule disconnected is by unplugging the Ethernet cable.
So, I have a few questions because I could not find the answers anywhere and my system administrators have no idea what is going on (they are specialised in Windows environments):
1) The fact that Airport Utility displays a green light on the Time Capsule does it mean it is connected to my computer? If so, how can I disconnect it? Clicking on the Time Capsule icon I am asked for a password I obviously don't know. So I cannot acess its configuration pane.
2) How do I know if there is any data traffic between my computer and the Time Capsule? I cannot find out its IP or MAC addresses (Airport Uitility will not show them to me).
3) Is it possible that the internet traffic of the owner of the Time Capsule is being re-routed through my computer? My internet connection is indeed more unstable and slower than that of my colleagues (using Windows or Linux) but I can't figure out why.
Thank you.

1. It isn't connected, but Airport Utility sees in on the network.
2. There shouldn't be any data traffic unless you initiate it.
3. Highly unlikely.
