Garbled text under the wireless section of my Airport Extreme?

I'm trying to enable 5 Ghz on my Airport Extreme and it doesn't give me a readable page/button to click.  I'm able to click the 5 Ghz button when I click away from it within the garbled text.. but nothing happens, the network seems quite as slow as 2.4 ghz.
I have an Extpress which is used to extend the network is that is any help in helping to diagnose my problem? :-)
Thank you.

"Boosting" a wireless signal is a commonly expressed desire, but it is not a practical solution to limited range. The current production Extreme has been reported to have greater range due to design improvements, but the difference is not likely to be sufficient for your needs.
The best way to effectively enlarge one's wireless service area is to install additional access points in a roaming configuration. For you that means connecting one or more Expresses to your Extreme with an Ethernet cable. Read: Wi-Fi base stations: Setting up and configuring a roaming network (802.11 a/b/g/n)
The screenshots are outdated but the concept has not changed.

    I filled in a fillable pdf form and when i print it, the text in the fillable section gets cut off. What do I need to do to get the entire text to be printed. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    What has this to do with Pages? You probably did this in Preview.

  • Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

    Doesn't do that for me. Try resetting the phone

  • Why are my iphone4S and ipad3 no longer being seen in finder under the devices section

    I am new to the Apple ecosystem and for the most part I have fallen in love with it, I have had my fill of the PC era and was on the verge of a mental breakdown using them. Well I bought a MBP 13" an ipad3 and I have an iPhone 4s. When I first got these items I was able to drag and drop files like a movie that I own and copied to the hard drive. This was done in finder, under the devices section it would show my phone and my ipad however after I installed the latest iTunes software it seems that this has disapeared and now I cannot find my devices in the finder area to drag and drop these files anymore. So, my question is this, has Apple done away with this function and if so how can I drag and drop a file to the ipad3 now? Thank you all for your help.

    Care to share which OS system you are using?

  • I have a "hacker" PC showing up under the "Shared" section of the Finder

    Today I noticed a PC computer icon showing up under the "Shared" section of the finder. The computer name was brn_921bc1. I immediately went into System Preferences and turned off file sharing. Is it really that easy for a PC hacker to come into my computer? Please help, as this seems to be a huge security threat.
    Thanks!!

    I doubt this is a hacker but you do seem to have an insecure setup. If you have your computer connected directly to a cable modem then you are essentially on a shared subnet with lots of other people Most of them aren't hackers -- probably none of them are. But this situation does leave you vulnerable which is why many people prefer to place a router in between their cable modem and their computer even if they are only connecting a single mac or pc to the internet.
    My first suggestion is that you turn on your Mac's firewall immediately. Open your System Preferences and type "firewall" in the search box. Hit return. When the firewall screen opens select "Allow only essential services". You should do this before you finish reading this thread.
    My next suggestion is to buy what's called a NAT router and stick it in between your cable modem and your mac as soon as practical. This will give you a far more secure setup than you can get with a software firewall alone. If you need help setting it up, come back here and I'm sure you can find the advice you need.

  • What's this under the Recent section?

    There's album or something under the Recent section in the Source list that I have no idea what it is, how it's set or how to change it. It's the first element. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. Does anyone know what it is and how to change it? Thanks!
    Here's the image:

    Thanks Jeff but I don't think that's it.
    It's not like a plug for a hole, it's about 4" x 3/4" and has a long hole in the middle. Looks like the ipod is meant to sit inside of it and have the cord plugged in but the ipod cannot stand up or lie flat in it. Perhaps it's some sort of adaptor, clicks into something, maybe that the old thicker ipod sat in but it does not fit in the dock of the old ipod, the new one sits in there just fine.
    I'm stumped as to what it could be that Apple thought we were all going to need it.

  • How to disable the wireless section of Airport Extreme Base Station?

    Is it possible to disable the wireless section of Airport Extreme Base Station?
    It is because I do not want to have any high frequency radio signal which may be dangerous for small baby (no such proof for the moment, however).
    Anyone using the new Airport Extreme Base Station please check and help.
    Thanks!!

    I think you are a little too concerned. Just for the sake of how to, here it is.
    go to manual set up, airport, wireless, wireless mode, and then choose off.
    good luck.

  • Unknown names under the shared section on my itunes, help!

    Yesteday i opened my itunes and i found three unknown account names like "Sam's itunes" under the shared section and when i clicked them it could listen to all of their music. I thought restarting my computer would help but i didnt do anything. Today when i opened my itunes more names appear and when i try to dissconnect it doesnt work. Why is this happening and how do i stop it? im scared people are able to get my information. Btw i live in a dorm at school, so im not sure if this is affecting it or not.
    Thank you!

    You are seeing libraries your neighbors have made available for sharing on your local WiFi network. If you don't want to see them, go to the iTunes menu > Preferences > General and uncheck "Shared libraries".  To share your own library, select iTunes > Preferences > Sharing.  It should be off unless you have turned it on.  You can share your whole library or just certain playlists.  You can share it openly or require a password.  Give the password to those you want to share with.  Note that sharing is not the sasme as home sharing.  While your computer is on and iTunes is open, others in your network can play your shared items, but can’t import shared items into their libraries.
    Go to the iTunes Help menu and type sharing in the search box if you want more details.

  • Why don't songs that I have purchased show under the "Purchased" section in the I-tunes Store? I have purchased a large quantity

    Why don't songs that I have purchased show under the "Purchased" section in the I-tunes Store? I have purchased a large quantity & it only shows 2.

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • Under the settings app there's the general column and under the accessibility section the is a setting called black over white does that drain your battery any more than the normal setting

    Under the settings app there's the general column and under the accessibility section the is a setting called black over white does that drain your battery any more than the normal setting

    Wow. I have not seen that question nor a discussion. I agree with James. I don't think it will, and if the power drain is different, maybe it'll be less and not more.
    With a 10 hour battery, you have plenty of time to test it and see. If the battery depletes fast, just go back to the other way.
    If you do try it, let us know what you discover.
    Thanks ! !

  • I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too..

    I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too. Any ideas? I'm guessing the only way is to do what I've seen in these community pages which states that it can be done but it will drop the bandwidth by 50%. Thoughts?? Thanks!

    The Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G was one of the very few routers said to be compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) settings.
    The info that I have on file indicates that only the WRT-54G versions 4 and under were compatible, so that would be one bridge to cross.
    Even if you find that your Cisco/Linksys might be the right version, Apple never published instructions on how to configure the Express devices with other manufactures, so users were left to their own devices to try to figure out how to get things working. Apple's instructions to connect to other Apple devices are in the link below:
    WDS network
    If you were hoping to use 2 Express devices in this type of configuration...even if it works...the bandwidth penalties will be extremely severe.
    The first Express drops the bandwidth (and speed) on the entire network in half and the second halves everything again. So, the result, in effect would be a "g" wireless network running at 25% speed. Few users would consider installing this type of network.
    At this point, it becomes one of those things where the fact that you might be able to do something does not mean that there would be much value in doing so. But, it is your decision to decide if you want to try to proceed.

  • Can I use the Ethernet Port for a computer when it is also used as a wireless network with an Airport Extreme as the access point for the wireless network

    Can I use the Ethernet Port  of the A1264 Airport Express to connect to the Ethernet port of a computer that does not have wireless capability when the Airport Express is also used on a wireless network with an Airport Extreme 5th generation as the access point for the network?
    I have AE 5th gen
    looking to buy (from ebay) the AEX A1264
    Various computers, printers and hubs for the network
    Is this possible to do?

    Bob, Thanks for the info. I have read different articles that said yes, but I wanted to make sure before I commit to buy. I have an older A1084 which I could not use the Ethernet port. I know at one point I was able to when I was on 10.4. Now that I am on an Intel processor and 10.8 I am going to have to upgrade some of my Apple wireless hardware.
    Thanks Again.

  • My iMac is able to use my wireless internet from my airport extreme, however, no other devices(iphone, ipod) will connect. The network shows up, but the indicator just spins without ever joining.

    I have tried resetting my airport extreme, creating a new network, etc nothing seems to work.

    I have a feeling you may be stuck in bridge mode there...
    Factory reset the Extreme (so we don't second guess later), and re-set up the extreme using iOS5 on your iPhone.
    Set up your Wi-Fi network with your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac.
