Express will not connect to network after Extreme firmware upgrade to 7.2.1

I got the auto update notice for a fimware upgrade to my Extreme to 7.2.1. Once I upgraded I am no longer able to connect my Express. I have done all the resets and have gone through all configuration each time, but after it resets itself after configuring it, it no longer shows up in the AirPort Utility until I reset it again. The only thing unique about my Extreme config is that I have the Radio Mode set to 802.11b/g compatible. This was necessary to connect TiVo wireless USB adapters to the network.

I can tell you that you are not alone - I have tried to crack this one for some days - Im just following the instructions from the Airport assistant and it dosn't work

We have an old titanium PowerBook that will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.

We have an old titanium PowerBook that will easily connect to any WiFi cafe or hotel network, but will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.
When the Apple Tec. installed our network for our 3 iMAXs, he couldn't it to connect either. Of course our two iPads have no trouble connecting.
We are also having trouble getting it to upgrade from OS 10.5.8 to 10.6, even though I have a Snow Leopard up date family pack.

What is your Wireless Security setting on the network? Since you are running Leopard, I may not have the desired answer, but some of the Airport-equipped laptops, like the TiBooks, are said not to support all of the settings. I have an AE network which supports b and g, with "WPA2 Personal" settings and the TiBooks connect with that one OK with 811.b Airport.
Oh, and no way to upgrade beyond 10.5.8 Leopard for PPC machines like the Titanium G4 Powerbooks, as 10.6 and above require Intel processors.
EDIT: I didn't notice this, but the TiBooks may be connecting with WPA encryption on my network, as I have the following display on my settings:

The router is much, much newer than the computer, perhaps some characteristic of the WiFi network as it's currently setup is preventing the computer from connecting.
Try to go back to the basics: set your WiFi network to "b" mode only (i.e., turn off "g") and termporarily remove the password from it. See if the computer will at least establish a connection at that point. Then start turning on one thing at a time ("g" mode, then security, etc).
Not sure what format your WEP key is, but if it's not 10 characters (the minimum for the standard, which constitutes a 64-bit key), you can try making it that long. If it's 13 or 26 characters, it might be a higher encryption than the computer can support.
If all else fails, you could try looking on ebay/craigslist for a copy of Tiger to install on the iMac, which would have software support for more WiFi encryption schemes. Also, it would provide software support for USB WiFi adapters that would also be able to connect to more modern networks.

My iPod will not connect to itunes after windows 8.1 download

My iPOD will not connect to itunes after windows 8.1 download
I already uninstall itunes and made sure there were no file left before I installed again (it didn't appear to be any files left but music I had on it before was still there when I reinstall it)
My ipod does work on my old computer and it was working on windows 8 before I update to 8.1
I don't want to installed again because I just did that and didn't work!
I want to use my iPod on this computer and system. Can this be fix?

HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network (time out repeatedly)

My HP LaserJet CP1520nw won't connet to my wireless router upon installation, no many how many times I've been asked to connect it to the computer via a USB printer cable. I uninstalled and reinstalled all software, and each time I try to set it up for wireless connectivity by connecting my computer and the printer via a USB printer cable, it gets to 99% installed on the progress bar and sits there until it times out. I suspect one of the follow but am open to other ideas from those more knowledgeable:
1. Is the printer locked onto some old, initial configuration from a previous wireless network that needs to be purged of addresses, etc. before it can accept the new ones?
2. Could my WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion be messing it up? Are the modern firmware and updates designed to accept these ? I never have gotten to a screen where it asks for my encyption key or even a WPS pass phrase. What to do if so?
3. Could Church Lady be correct and that it is Satan preventing the installation? If so, what icons does he use to watch out for and will my Norton anti-virus and malware quarantine him to Hell automatically or does it require manual enforcement?

Hi @Marvalina1968,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network with Windows 7. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
First to answer your questions:
It is possible the printer could be locked to an old configuration and needs to be reset.
I don't think your WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion could be messing it up, unless you got some really strange characters in your password.
Your Norton antivirus, could possible be causing the installation to fail.
Please take a look through the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
If the guides do not resolve the issue, please try the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Disable any antivirus programs. Disable antivirus software.
Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Re-install the software. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
Hope this solves your problem, and have a good day!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect. It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network. Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect. It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network. Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
Hope this helps.

Thank you I tried the reset again did not fix- I think I am down to calling Apple and paying for a tech - phone company says it is a software problem. I just updated to 8.1.3 - I thought the update might fix it.

AirPort Express will not extend Wireless Network

Hello. My airport express will not extend my wireless network. It was green for about the first 4 hours and then I've had a flashing yellow light since that time. I've reset it a bunch of times and even have the AE in the same room as my AP Extreme. I complete the setup and then it continues to flash yellow. Can ayone give me a hand?

In the cases where the AirPort base stations would be interconnected by Ethernet you want to configure then for a roaming network, NOT an extended network. Apple uses the term "extended" when the base stations use wireless connection. Regardless of naming convention the end results is pretty much the same.
The link I provided should provide you with the necessary steps to set this type of network up.
If you need additional help, please start a new post as the solution for you will be different than the OPs. Thx!

Express will NOT connect to CHANNEL #1 on BASE - HELP?

12-1-05
Please help or advise, at the end of my rope here.
New Apple Express, set to "join existing network", using for Airtunes into stereo in next room. Battleing the drop-out problem well reported in other thread.
Living in an apartment in a busy city, I see at least SIX other networks in iStumbler, half on Channel #6, the other half on Channel #11. Even though my Buffalo G54 WAP (wireless access point connect to DSL modem) is right behind my G4 Titanium, the other networks have almost the same signal strength I'm seeing. I can stream the audio on CH #11, but with the drop-out audio problem much of the time, so my GOAL, was to switch the Buffalo to Channel # 1.
PROBLEM: I have done the procedure very many times in two days, including even doing the "hard" reset of the Express unit. Have used both Airport Admin Utitlity, as well as Airport Setup Assistant, etc. I can switch the Buffalo WAP to CH #1 no problem, and get online same as always. But have NOT once been able to get the "green light" on the Express, and nothing on the computer can see the Express at all, rebooted etc. Just will NOT connect as long as the WAP is on CH # 1.
Back to Channel #11 on WAP, the Airport Express connects and works like before. ANY CLUES WHY I CAN'T CONNECT TO the Apple Express uing CHANNEL # 1 ???
I've tried everything I know at this point, channel one looks like a strong signal here, but so far have been unable to try it for Express Airtunes streaming. THANKS!

I'm not sure about cable connection but I've recently connected to Bigpond using one of their Siemens ADSL modems connected through my Airport Express.
Bigpond help desk were very helpful and suggested that I needed to reset the DSL modem to Bridge Mode, instructions were obtained from the Siemens website. After you have printed off the instructions. First reset your router without your Airport connected and ensure your router is working correctly in Bridge Mode.
Enter the URL address http://10.0.0.138 at the top of your browser for Bigpond and login with Username "admin" and Password "admin" then follow the steps you have printed off.

My airport express is not connecting with my airport extreme base station. They are probably six years old. My IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0

My Airport extreme and my airport express are not connecting together. I get an error message saying that my airport express software is not compatible with my Airport extreme and I have use them together for the past five or six years. It says I may need to change my IP address on my computer or something like that but I don't know what to do. the IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0. Should everything be on the same IP address? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Please refer to the information already posted above:
If you see A1084 or A1088 there, your older Express is not supported by the newer version of AirPort Utility that you have.
If you have another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC, then you could use that computer to administer the older Express and it will work on the network along with the AirPort Extreme.
If the Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard or PC does not "see" the A1084 Express, you will need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button for 10 seconds and waiting a full minute for the Express to restart. Then, reconfigure the Express again.

New Airport Express will not connect to internet

I am attempting to upgrade from an old Airport Base Station (the gum drop/flying saucer/mushroom model) to the new and improved mini tower model. I plugged the ethernet cable from the comcast cable modem in and nothing worked - no wireless, no internet, no nothing but flashing amber light. I was able to configure a new wireless network, and it shows up on MBPro running Maverick and iPad using Airport Utility as a functioning wireless network (with the green light on the AE), but it will not connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

The only step that appears to be missing is to reset your cable or DSL modem. Unplug it and let it rest a moment or two, then power it back up again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2460
You've done everything right, but still can't connect to the Internet. Why?
It is likely that the modem locked onto your iMac, and it will ignore anything else you plug into it until the modem has been reset. If you were to plug the iMac back into the modem, it would still connect to the Internet.
Fortunately, resetting a broadband modem is usually very easy -- just unplug its power supply, wait a moment, and plug it back in. After its indicator lights have gone through their startup routine, you should do the same to the AirPort base station.
Odds are that you can connect to the Internet now.

Airport will not connect to Wifi after Restore

I do not remember the exact verison, but my Macbook was upgraded to Snow Leopard and connected to my Verizon router (WPA security) just fine.
I decided to restore my Macbook back to factory settings and inserted the install disk and went from there.
After my Macbook was restored. It reverted back to 10.4.8 (Tiger) - which was to be expected. Now my Macbook will not connect to my router, saying there is an error.
I'm at a lost right now on what to do.

That file has nothing to do with connecting to a Wi-Fi network, but only with AirPort Utility.
Anyone know of anything else I can try?
You might try resetting your connection settings using the steps listed in this message:

They're not guaranteed to solve the problem, but they'll only take a minute or so to try.
