G5 2x2.5 not detecting Airport Extreme base...

Hi,
I installed an airport extreme card (wich is detected just fine by the G5 model PowerMac 7,3) and the little antenna is installed on the back of the computer... The G5 is not detecting any network... Everything works with my MacBookPro,it detects the network (Airport Extreme base) just fine...
I've been reading the threads about this in the forum, and I think (???????) I've done everything accordingly... Anybody please...
Thanx
Jeff

Hi Jean-Francois Houle-
Make sure that the antenna cable is connected properly to the card: Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card
If everything is connected properly, perhaps there is a networking isue. This document may help with regards to troubleshooting a networking problem: Mac OS X: Connect to the Internet, troubleshoot your Internet connection, and set up a small network

  • Airport Utility does not see Airport Extreme Base Station

    Purchased Airport Extreme yesterday at Apple Store to replace old Netgear Router. Wanted wireless network to work with 2 identical HP Laptops running XP with SP3 and 2 iPod touches, and possible future purchases of iPad 2 and Apple TV. Installed Airport Utility software from CD on Dell Studio running Windows 7. Connected Airport Extreme to cable modem and Dell Studio. Ran Airport Utility software to configure Base Station but it did not recognize the Base Station. Base Station had blinking amber light. Did have internet connectivity on Dell Studio, and wireless internet connectivity on 2 iPod touches, and on one HP Laptop. No wireless internet on other HP Laptop. But wireless internet connection was unsecured and Airport Utility did not see Airport Extreme so could not configure it to make it secure. Contacted Apple Customer support. After 30-40 minutes of attempting several different possible fixes only able to use Airport Utility to configure Airport Extreme remotely, wirelessly, from one HP Laptop, not the Dell Studio that is directly connected to the base station. Now that the base station is configured the network is secure. However, second HP Laptop cannot connect to primary wireless network. I created password protected "Guest" network using Airport Utility, and laptop is able to connect to this Guest network. From reviewing forums am now able to configure Airport Extreme with Airport Utility by using "Configure other" on Dell computer. But utility cannot find device by scanning. Would like to find way to (1) have Airport Utility on Windows 7 Dell see Airport Extreme by scanning and not using "configure other," and (2) have 2nd HP Laptop connect to primary network and not "guest' network. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Bob - Thanks so much for your quick reply. I followed your suggestions and, to go into perhaps unnecessary detail, I'll write what I did. I completely disconnected the Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) from my computer. I disabled Windows Firewall, uninstalled my anti-virus program, and uninstalled Airport Utility and Bonjour, recycled by cable modem (took out the battery and unplugged it for about 20 seconds), then restarted my computer. After the computer booted up, I verified that windows firewall was disabled, reinstalled Airport Utility and Bonjour, then reconnected the cable connecting the AEBS to the computer (to one of the three ethernet ports, and I tried each of them in case one was faulty) but not to the cable modem as my firewall was disabled and had no anti-virus software. I also reconnected the AEBS power chord. I opened the newly reinstalled Airport Utility software and it did not find the base station. Only when I used "configure other" was I able to access the AEBS. I recycled the modem again, but that did not help. I turned on the firewall, installed anti-virus software, connected the AEBS to the modem, the light turned green, and I was able to access the internet on the primary computer and the wireless network gave me internet access on my laptops. But I was still not able to have my main computer, the one directly connected to the AEBS able to see it, and configure it, without utilizing "configure other."
    Also, any idea why one of my laptops can only access the "guest" network? When it attempts to connect to the primary network it will stay on "acquiring network address" for what seems a few minutes, then switch to the "guest" network and connect immediately.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Macbook does not see airport extreme base station

    Hi
    I set up my airport extreme several years ago.  I recently noticed that, under "security," the guest network says "WPA2 secured," but the main network says "none."  Is this a problem; i.e., does the main network lack security?  Further, when I open the airport utility, it cannot find a base station.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you!

  • Dell latitude unable to detect Airport Extreme base station

    I have an Airport Extreme base station at my parents house and I am unable to detect the wireless network or connect to the base station on Dell Latitude D610 with Windows XP. I installed the base admin utility for windows Xp and it cannot detect the base station.
    Please help....

    You don't need the utility to connect, it is ONLY used to configure a base station.

  • IMac does not see Airport Extreme Base Station wirelessly

    Trying to use my existing PC hooked up to Airport Extreme BS via ethernet cable, which works fine. I then open Airport Utility on my iMac and it scans for wireless devices but it can't see the AEBS (located beside it). Opening Base Station tab and there are no solid headers to click on, just the soft grey headers. I am fairly new to Apple product so if I've left any info out to further troubleshoot please let me know.
    Eventually I would like to connect my Apple TV, located downstairs, wirelessly as well as use an Airport Express (wirelessly) to boost the signal if need be due to concrete walls and floors in construction of house.
    I have OS X Version 10.5.8 (up to date), Intel, Airport Extreme Wireless Card.
    Thanks for any help out there.

  • AirPort Utility does not see AirPort Extreme Base in G5 but see it in PB G4

    Moreover I cannot lease an IP from AirPort Extreme Base with my G5, I must use manual IP set in order to connect. Every things works fine with the PB G4 which had an import setting from the G5 before the trouble began.

    Sorry I had so many change in Hardware I have an AirPort Extreme Base and AirPort Utility works fine with the PowerBook G4. When you open Network Preferences and click advanced you will see TCP/IP
    if you open it you see configure IPv4 you should Using DHCP.

  • Powerbook cannot detect Airport Extreme base station

    I bought a new Airport extreme and cannot connect to it wirelessly. I called and tried to do everything to fix the problem but ended up having to have a replacement Airport sent to me. The new one arrives and same problem. I can see other wireless networks but cannot see the one from mine. When restarting the base station, I see my network for a second but it goes away and I can't connect to it. I'm thinking it might be my computer but I can see other networks... any suggestions on how to rectify the problem?

    Ok, thanks. I can only see, at this time, five choices:
    Try each step one-at-a-time, until successful. After each step, try accessing the AEBSn via Ethernet.
    o Shut down the AirPort Utility, and then, restart it.
    o Unplug the AEBSn, wait at least 5 minutes, and then plug it back in.
    o Reinstall the AirPort Utility on your PC to rule out any issues with the initial installation.
    o Install the AirPort Utility on another device (PC or Mac) to see if it can access the base station.
    o Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBS.

  • Windows 7 Does Not Recognize Airport Extreme Base Station

    I have a Macbook Pro, a Windows XP PC, an Airport Extreme and an HP Printer hooked up via USB to the Airport. My XP system and My Macbook work fine. I have Windows 7 installed via bootcamp on the MacBok. It connects to the wireless network perfectly on the Windows 7 side but when I run the Airport Utility it is "unable to find any apple wireless devices." I want to set up the Windows 7 side to print and need to discover this network printer but since it won't even recognize the Airport device, I don't know how to proceed. Anyone know how to solve this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled software to no avail.
    Thanks,
    Thad

    I have the exact same issue with a new airport extreme. One additional bit of info for me is that the windows computer does see the wireless network and is able to get online. It just doesn't find the airport in the airport utility app. Also, according to the guidebook I am supposed to install "Bonjour" on Windows computers. Can't find any reference to Bonjour on the installation disc that came with the Airport Extreme.

  • Airport Extreme base station vs. Linksys router

    Hi all -- I have a tech choice to make and I'm soliciting advice and war stories from those who have been in my place.
    I have a DSL connection, G5 Mac and a Windows laptop. I've been connecting to the Internet via a Linksys WRT54G router -- the Mac is connected to the router via Ethernet, and the Windows machine connects wirelessly -- and I've been happy with this setup. I have it on good authority that I'll be getting an Airport Express in my stocking this year; I had done a little research and found that it is possible to make the WRT54G and the Airport Express work together, and was planning on doing some hacking and fiddling to make that happen in the new year.
    However, last night my WRT54G seems to have died a horrible death -- all its lights started blinking at once, the Internet connection went away, then all the lights went out except for the "diagnostic" light, and now no lights come on at all. No idea what happened, but it seems pretty kaput.
    So! I'm in need of a new wireless base station. I could get an Airport Extreme base station, or I could get another Linksys (or another off-the-shelf 802.11 router, but we'll just use "Linksys" as the catch-all phrase here to mean "not an Airport Extreme base station"). The most obvious difference is price -- the Airport Extreme station is $200, while the Linksys is more like $65. Another thing that irks me about the AE station is that it only has one LAN port. I do like being able to plug in my laptop to the wired network to do some diagnostics once in a while and it'd be a pain to have to disconnect my Mac to do so. And then there's nagging worries that the AE base station might not work as well with my Windows laptop.
    On the other hand, I'm sure that setting up the Airport Express would be much, much easier with the AE base station. And I do like the idea of the base station being able to dial up if my DSL goes down (as it does from time to time). Basically, I am tempted by the AE base station feature-wise, but I'm kind of balking at paying three times the price and not getting even a second LAN port. Any advice, particularly from people who have used both types of routers in a mixed network, would be appreciated.

    Replace your Linksys with another WRT54G. Then you can hook up your anticipated AX as either a client (connected like a computer), a wireless access point (connected using ethernet with DHCP disabled on the AX), or using WDS:

  • Airport extreme base station detecting someone elses network but not mine.

    Sorry if this subject has already been discussed but I couldn't see it anywhere.
    I have an airport extreme base station set up and it works fine but this morning i noticed that I had very little signal which has never happened before so upon further investigation I noticed that my computer was hooked up to a Netgear network amd not my own usual airport "home" network.
    I got my own network back again and my signal is now full strength. The worrying thing is that my computer couldn't seem to find my airport "home" network when I searched for it. I had to start again from scratch and reset it.
    Is there a way I can tell my computer to use only my airport network and no other? Someone obviously has an open network nearby.

  • 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.

    After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
    Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
    As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
    Is there a way to resolve this issue?

  • Airport Extreme base station not recognized anymore by Airport Utility software

    Hello,
    I just encountered the problem today.
    I have old Airport Extreme base sation (mushroom design).Picture below.
    I have iMac 24". About this Mac Picture below.
    Obviously, Airport Utility has been updated recently and today my network is not valid anymore, as well as the mushroom is not managed by Aiport Utility softwrare anymore. The only way to get WiFi now is using my computer as an antenna via the sharing of internet trough its WiFi card: not satisfactory.
    The message of the software led directly to this support community.
    The picture with the base station icon says: "this version of Airport Utility does not support this base station. To know more, check the Sevice and Support Community."
    I did reset the base station may times, without success. I can't rename the base sattion, i can't create rename my network, i can't set up password access, i can't use WiFi other than the default Airport Extreme network.
    Since this is not my field of knowledge, would anyone come up with a brilliant solution other than .... :
    "Did Apple just manage to make you buy a new Airport base station ?."
    Thank you for your time.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your reply and exlpanation.
    I just downloaded the Aiport Utility 5.6.1 from Apple site. Unfortunately the OS X version is not compatible with this Airport Utility.
    I don't have Time Machine neither.
    Below is the message I got:
    "Airport Utility cannot be installed on this hard drive. The Mac OS X version on this drive is not supported"
    Is there something inbetween: a correction to Airport Utility 6.2 plug in that would accept my base station and compatible with my iMac ?.
    Thank you for your attention.

  • Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

    Hey Guys!
    I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
    The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
    Can you help me? Please?!
    Thanks Folks!

    This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

  • HT1218 Airport Extreme base station is working, but not visible on network?

    My Airport Extreme base station is working:  all devices are able to connect to the internet, but Airport Utility shows no connection.  Only one computer even shows the device-- greyed out-- saying "Device not Found."  The airport utility shows version 6.2;  OS X version 10.8.3.  How do I update the base station to version 7 if the device can't be found?  And how do the devices connect to the internet without "seeing" the device? 

    Thanks for checking. This model should be visible in AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion.
    If you have not already done so, I suggest that you perform a complete power cycle on the entire network as folllows:
    Power off every network device....in any order you want
    Wait a minute or two
    Start the modem first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
    Start the AirPort Extreme next, the same way
    Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
    Check the network again using AirPort Utility
    You can also temporarily connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to see if a connection is established that way.
    If still no luck, try another Mac if you one handy. After that, all that I can suggest is that you perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and configure it again.
