Error -6753 when rtying to configure Airport Express

Hi, I've been using my Airport Express for a long time and I was very happy from day one, as I required a device to play my music and print wireless and the Airport Express was the answer. But for the past month I have nothing but trouble with the AE. I've hard reset the AE for so many times, that I've lost count.
I've gone through forums etc, and I can see that others have the same issue (Error -6753), but the frustrating part is, that nobody (including Apple) have a solution to this problem.
I've tried to configure via my iMac and my Windows laptop, but all of the devices get the same error. I've tried to down grade the firmware, followed by an update, but nothing.
I'm at the point where I will chuck it in the bin, as I had enough.
Can anybody help with this error and provide me (and others) with a final solution.
Many thanks,

I have used my Airport Extreme without problems for over a year. Suddenly today, it stopped working properly. I can still connect with my broadband cable modem (Motorola, via Comcast), but not wirelessly with my laptop or iPhone.
AirPort Utility finds my Airport Extreme (which I have restored to factory defaults), but I can go no further. Whether I select "Continue" or "Manual Setup," it tries to join the wireless network for a few moments, but eventually just says "An error occurred joining the selected wireless network." At this point, it provides this useless and poorly constructed sentence: "An error occurred, close the configuration window and try again."
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • I keep getting error 10053 when trying to update airport express and connecting to the existing wireless network. Please help.

    can someone assist in setting up my airport express? Im not sure what the error message means...

    Hello Jacquimae,
    The only thing you can buy legitimately is the computer and the basic discs that are necessary to operate it.   All Apple apps over and above this cannot be legally sold on.   The machine should have been completely wiped and the original OS re-installed, bringing the machine to its original factory condition.   iPhoto and Garage band were part of OS 10.6.8. Snow Leopard.

  • Error message when trying to configure airport extremesure wireless device

    Airport Utility can't configure my airport extreme. I keep getting error message "error occurred...make sure...connected via ethernet and try again (-6765)". I've tried everything, hard reset, etc. Very frustrated.

    Try to "find" and configure the router with ethernet first. Set the wireless configuration and check for telling light. Then disconnect the ethernet, see what happens.

    Have you tried using a WEP password for your wireless network instead of a WPA one? That fixed it for me.

  • Configuring airport express without wireless computer

    I've got a 2008 Mac Pro with no wireless hooked up to the square Airport Extreme by ethernet cable.  The airport extreme serves other wireless computers throughout the house.  Last year, it was complicated configuring 2011 airport expresses to extend my network using the Mac Pro as the home computer, but I finally managed it with the help of an Apple tech who said most other techs would probably not know the trick to doing it.  It worked great for over a year. 
    Today, out of nowhere, airport utility came up with an error message and told me I needed to change settings to a LAN bridge.  I followed directions, but the effect was to wipe out all my settings.  I managed to reset and get the extreme back working, but I'm having trouble getting the airport expresses properly configured. Instructions online are based on doing it with a computer that's also wireless.  Part of the trick in configuring involved deselecting a lower button in Airport Utility, then going to areless settings and changing WAN to extend the network. 
    I wish I would have gone to the trouble of doing screen grabs with each step along the way, but if anyone knows the steps for reconfiguring the airport expresses using a computer without wireless, I'll pay for your kids' college:  or at least ask God to let you win the lottery. 

    A cool Apple tech, realizing that I was only having problems because their software had topedoed my working set-up, actually gave me a no-charge rundown of the standard procedure using that ethernet trick, which seemed to work up until the last step, but at that point, the update and restart of the apple express failed each time I tried.  From what I remember when I initially configured the express last year, the ethernet trick is part of the right procedure.  Thanks. 

  • HT1218 Configured airport express using PC in the states.

    Now living in Hong Kong and didn't bring software for AE from home. 
    Can I still use AE with time capsule bought in HK?  I have a flashing yellow light when I plug the Airport Express into the wall. 
    The MAC isn't recognizing the AE at all when I attempt to pull it up using the Airport Utility.  Do I need the software that came with the AE in order to use it to boost the signal from the Time Capsule? 

    Can I still use AE with time capsule bought in HK?
    Yes, however the Wi-Fi channels available in China differ somewhat. Please check out the following Wikipedia article for details. You will need to use a channel on the Time Capsule that the AirPort Express can support for extending.
    I have a flashing yellow light when I plug the Airport Express into the wall.
    A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
    The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
    You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
    One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
    (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
    If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation.

    Depending on which version of OS X you are running, I would use the very latest version of the AIrPort Utility that it supports. You can download a number of version from this Apple Support site.

  • My internet continually disconnects.  When I added my airport express, I had to call Verizon (my provider) and have them "bridge" my modem.  Ever since, my connection constantly disconnects and puts up the message "Could not find a PPPoE server".

    Any ideas?  I probably have something wrong in my computer settings.

    You should restore your modem to router condition and set the Airport Express to 'Bridge Mode'. A full explanation and the method of doing this is here:

  • Buzzing sound when connecting my new airport express to bose system

    I recently purchased the new Airport express with the purpose of streaming my music from itunes to my bose system. As soon as I connect my stereo to the Airport express a loud buzzin sound comes out even if the stereo volume is low.
    I've tried the same cable plugged straight from the stereo to my ipad or laptop and this buzzing sound is not there at all. This only happens when I connect the stereo to the new Airport express.
    Please help, before I have no option but to return it.
    The device firmware is up to date.

    Temporarily, plug a pair of headphones into the audio jack on the AirPort Express and test to see if you still hear the buzzing.
    If no, then the Express is operating correctly. The issue is somewhere else....either an intermittent connection in your audio cable, or the jack on the Bose system is defective.
    If you still hear the buzzing when you test the AirPort Express with a pair of headphones, the Express is defective and will need to be returned.

  • Error 6753 when printing with airport express

    Hi all-
    I'm trying to us my airport express to set up wireless printing from my PC laptop. Right now, I've got a netgear router and I -think- I've managed to con nect the airport express to join that network. My goal is simply to use the airport express to print wirelessly.
    I've got a green light on the AX and printer is plugged in by USB. However, every time I try to print I get this: 6753 error.
    Status: green light
    Mode: join a wireless network
    Wireless: it's got my network and pw. I've checked the "allow Ethernet clients" although I don't know if I need that.
    Connect using: Wireless Network
    Underneath this it says "This AX shares a single IP address with wireless clients using DHCP and NAT." Then it has connection sharing bridge mode, but this is greyed out and I can't select anything.
    Printers: I see my printer listed, but when I click share printers over Bonjour I get an error message before I can update the AX. It says to edit and change it to a wide area host name.
    Do I need to change some settings? Or what "wide area host" do I need to change it to?
    I am very new at this. Thank you for any help!

    Thanks... I will try that first. I've also been advised to delete the network and add a new one with the printer connected... but your idea is simpler.

  • Error - 6753 and 10057 when trying to setup airport express in XP

    I keep having this problem when i try and use my airport express. My PC can pick up the airport but when i try and click manual setup or continue i get error -6753 or 10057.
    Please can someone help me out with a step by step procedure to set an express up with Windows XP

    Unfortunately, things like this can happen when you try to use current software on a 6 year old product.
    The solution is exactly as the message states:
    You will need to use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update the firmware on the AirPort Extreme.
    AirPort Utility 5.6 can be installed on a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC. If you do not have access to one of these devices, you might be able to take the AirPort Extreme to an Apple Store to have them update the firmware for you.
    Once the firmware on the AirPort Extreme has been updated......then..... it will be possible to administer the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility 6.3.1.
