Extreme Stuck in Reset Mode

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station that appears to be stuck in reset mode...
It has the middle light blinking slowly and right/left LEDs stay off
Looking on Tech Articles, this means the base station is in reset mode
This Airport has been in "reset" mode for two days
Things I've tried...
soft and hard resets per Tech Articles
Also attempted to connect Base Station directly to my laptop (that has Airport Admin Utility installed)
While connected, used suggested ip addresses
192.42.249.14 as well as 192.42.249.15
255.255.255.0
192.42.249.13
also tried with DHCP
swapped ethernet cords in case this was an issue
The end result is that I can never see this base station in Airport Admin Utility or Airport Setup.
It appears to be stuck in reset mode.
Any suggestions appreciated

Pull the plug on the Airport to reset it to Factory Default Settings.

  • My ipod touch is stuck in reset mode

    after reset my ipod touch 4 (5.1.1) is stuck in reset mode

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Just what is "reset mode"?

  • C1140 Radio stuck in "reset mode" any fix?

    This question was posed before a year ago, but not answered. 
    Some of my C1140's Radio-0, the BGN are going in to "reset mode".  The code level is 12.4(21a)JA1.  Is there any fix out for this.  The are running in AP mode, not connected to the WLan controller.  Rebooting the AP seems to fix the problem for several hours, then Radio0 is back down.
    Thanks

  • Solution to 5G iPod stuck in reset mode

    I wanted to share what worked for me. After 11 months, when I went to synch my iPod, iTunes said it saw an iPod in reset mode and that it had to be reset before it could synch. I tried the 5R's many times, but to no avail. What worked was when I completely removed iTunes (via the installer) and then reinstalled it (before I had only repaired iTunes with the installer). After that, the synch restored everything to my ipod, and it's back to normal (knock on wood).
    Hope this helps people out. Basically, do the 5R's but be sure to actually delete and reinstall iTunes by running the new installer twice.

  • Stuck in Reset mode Any way out?

    Currently trying to reset my new airport extreme and now the LEDs are flashing. Tried both a soft and hard reset. Just bought the base station today. Thanks in advance.

    Thx. Unfortunately, my extreme base station was not
    recognized from the start. The situation remains the
    same. Again, thanks.
    First, could you make your seller check it.
    Then, if it's OK,
    you may be in a case were you're trapped in a bad channel
    automatic choice you can't escape through an AirPort
    connection.
    To check this, could you turn off your AEBS.
    From your Ethernet connection to Internet,
    download iStumbler (http://www.istumbler.net/),
    and check if you have other wireless networks in your
    neighbourhood.
    If you have neighbour's wireless networks, you will
    have to reconfigure your AEBS by its Ethernet
    LAN port with "AirPort Admin Utility" (use an Ethernet
    cable from your Mac to your AEBS).
    You have to change its channel to a free one:
    one which is separated from your neighbour's
    ones by three empty channels. For example, if your
    neighbours use channels 1 and 11, you may choose whichever
    channel you want between 5, 6 and 7.

  • Stuck in reset mode

    I've been having issues with my Iphone4s (non jailbroken) I decided to "reset all settings" when I did that the little apple logo popped up and I assumed it was reseting.  well its been stuck in the same spot for more than an hour now.  I plugged it into my Mac to sync with itunes but because my phone is stuck on that screen you have to respond to itunes on your phone. Not possible.  (FYI my sleep/lock button is broken) any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    I ended letting my phone completely die, and then plugged it into my iTunes. And it worked! Hope it works for you also!!

  • Apple support asked me to reset my settings to fix my iMessage issue, now the issue is that I can't get past the sync to iTunes message on my phone.  My phone is stuck in reset and I can't even use it!

    Apple support asked me to reset my settings to fix my iMessage issue and not my iPhone is stuck in reset mode.  It won't sync with my iTunes and it won't allow me to move past that reset screen to even use my phone.

    Anyone out there have this issue, I'd really love some help/guidance.
    Everytime I restart, force quit mail, restart in safe mode, and regular mode, when I reopen the Mail application, it goes right to the Upgrade Mail database screen and goes right back to the same spot it has been since I downloaded Mountain Lion and initislly opened the Mail app. It only goes to the Upgrade option, or can quit and Upgrade later. It is stuck in the middle of the Upgrade of my mail database...this blows!!!

  • Aironet 1310 interface dot11 0 stuck in reset

    Hi trying to connect two APs with one being root and the other non root. After configuring, the wireless interface on the non root remains stuck
    int reset mode. Below is the error message i get and have tried and cant find out what the problem is.
    %DOT11-4-CANT_ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, cannot associate: No Response
    Will appreciate any help. thanks

    As per dmantill mention once we have a 1310 in root bridge and the other one in non root bridge the non root bridge will not enable the radio until it sees a good signal from the root bridge and its status will be reset down.
    Remember that we have 2 types of 1310 the ones with build in antennas and the ones with no build in antenna and require and external antenna connected to it.
    To know if your unit has a build in antenna or not the part number will not include a (-R) if it has a (–R) it means that the unit does not have a build in antenna.
    Also remember that when we work with bridges we need to set them in install mode (install root bridge and install non root bridge)this mode will only allow the units to associate to each other and not pass traffic and the led’s on the back of the unit will stop works as usual and help us for antenna alignment between the units.
    Here is the link that lets us know what each sequence we get on the leds once in install mode to know how god the antenna aliment or signal is.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1300/installation/guide/130h_c3.html#wp1056656
    Also remember that when working with bridges by defaults the units are set to work at full power and this would create 2 scenarios.
    For example, if the units are able to cover up to 5km with full power if the distance between the units is more than 5 km then they will not be able connect and if the distance is shorter than 5 km let’s say 1 km and we leave the units at full power there is going to be too much interface and signal to noise on the connection due to the short distance between the units and at the end this could make the units not see a good signal between them.
    For instance lets say we are on a football field and each of us is on a touchdown side and for us to be able to hear each other we need to scream to each other, but if we then walk to the center of the field and we keeping screaming we are going to hear ourselves but we will not be able to understand what we are saying to each other and we will need to lower our voice.
    Here is the outdoor range calculation utility to check what is the exact distance we can cover with a unit and at an specific data rate.

  • Ipod nano stuck in disk mode and reset mode

    My ipod which I haven't used for long came into my sight and i triedto use it and the battery was out. OK, so I charged it through my computer Windows XP with the usb. Of course my itunes program detected my nano. And it kept telling me to upgrade my nano so I clicked OK. after 2or 3 mins it was completed and it said to wait until nano reboots itself. But it won't... so i pulled it out.
    Ok when i turned it on the gray screen with the apple logo in the middle appeared. It won't move anymore so I resetted it by pushing the center and the menu button and endless circulation began. 4secs later it blacked out and right after, the gray screen appeared again and again..until the battery wasout ..So I came here and knew about the center and play button so I tryed it worked so I was able to see my ipod on my itunes ,which did not appear before,and now it keeps on telling me to restore it because it was damaged. so I did. and now it came back as new. I wrote my new apod name ...etc. and after that I pulled it out. now it's stuck in disk mode and I can't move on,,,
    I'm sorry the article is long but please help me!

    Thank you, it worked just fine. I guess Apple has replaced operating instructions for these forums! Again, thanks for the help.

    i have a classic that seems to be stuck in restore mode, the screen says "do not disconnect'' and i can't restore using itunes. i have tried resetting it and still no good, what can i do to fix this problem ?

    Be good to know what the diagnostic results are.
    I've also just run into an issue where I couldn't restore an iPod with a corrupt file system, and the "super fix" in that linked article wasn't working for me. I've run across a potentially useful workaround.
    iPod Classic went on the fritz today just after syncing. Couldn't restore via iTunes, kept getting 1439 errors, Windows wouldn't format as FAT32, claimed the "Volume is too big for FAT32". Finally tracked down EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition (Free) and formatted as FAT32 with 128k clusters. The iPod is filling back up again. Might be worth a shot here...

  • My iphone 4 is stuck in recovery mode even when I reset it

    I just did the most recent update today, and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode.  I have done the reset with the wake/sleep buttons, it goes to the silver apple screen, then it just goes right back to the recovery screen.  I tried it plugged into my computer and not plugged in, and it keeps going back.  Please help me!

    Check out this Apple support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
    It provides information regarding that error. That is generally due to a problem with security software in a Windows environment. Temporarily disable your antivirus software and/or firewall. Kaspirsky software is a real problem for this. See if this helps you finish the update and get the iPhone working again.
    p.s. It actually isn't an Apple iPhone problem, it has to do with Windows antivirus software.
