Green light mystery on network extender sys light

has anyone solved the green light mystery on network extender sys light
Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator <<>>

It didn't happen at all yesterday (that I noticed), but yes, when it happens, I have rebooted the NE. I have also rebooted the Cable Modem and the Router during these spells. The firmware on my router has been the same for the last year or so (the last time they released an update. I don't have any visibility into updates on my modem, but it's the same cable modem I've been using for years. During these times where the SYS light is Green, all the other lights are their normal blue.
Given that this setup has been working fine for a couple of years, and, when the lights are all blue, it still works fine, I'm wondering if there has been a code update on the Network Extenders recently, by chance?

    I have a Samsung Network Extender, model SCS-2U01, and for the past two weeks, the SYS light has gone from solid blue to a blinking red light, disconnecting me from my business calls. In reading the forums, it was mentioned that Verizon had to reset something on their end to fix the issue. Would you be able to confirm if something needs to be reset to fix the issue? Thank you!

    First, try the normal stuff: power cycle your modem, router, and NE allowing time for each component to stabilize before turning on the next in sequence modem > router > NE. If necessary, try resetting your modem and router. If it still doesn’t work verify it is listed in MyVerizon and then calling Verizon Wireless Customer Service at (800) 922-0204. Good luck!

  • Any further options for fixing a network extender with flashing red sys light?

    I've been using my network extender without any problem for a few years. Well, except it always had stopped working on occasion (maybe every 6 months) and I would have to toggle it back and forth between open access and managed on the Verizon site to get it working. That was fine, but this time it's been stuck on a slowly flashing red sys light. The power, gps, and wan lights are all solid blue. Eventually it will seem to start over with the cycle of leds but end up again at all blue except a slow flashing red sys light.
    That was months ago and I've been struggling with it ever since with no luck. I tried calling support a couple of times but could never navigate through to any appropriate option for network extenders. Both times the automated system couldn't figure out what my issue was and hung up on me.
    I tried power cycling my cable modem and router. I've tried the open/manage setting change on the My Verizon page for the extender. I've verified my router settings, though no equipment has been changed. I even tried assigning an IP to the network extender and configuring the correct ports for it (found a list of the port numbers somewhere else on this site).  I've of course tried leaving it off for a bit.. 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 10 hours, and ultimately a month or so. Nothing makes a difference and I'm still stuck with a slow flashing red sys light. It's frustrating as I general manage only 1 signal bar even at best in the house or around the yard. It's hardly usable even though the Verizon coverage map shows solid coverage all over my house and neighborhood.
    Any help or ideas would be appreciated.  Did the network extender simply die?  Is there any way to diagnose that for certain?

    It is up and running again.
    I just really wish they would have the courtesy to post on here, Facebook, Twitter, whatever, wherever, but to just let us know that there is a problem, they are aware of it, and are working to fix it.
    For a communications company, so far I have not seen that they have any communication skills.

  • My network extender gps and sys light is blinking red .What can I do to fix it?

  • I am extending my airport extreme by adding an airport express. I had no problem setting it up and got green lights but now I cannot get on either because it says it is a self assigned IP?

    i am extending my airport extreme by adding an airport express.
    Does this mean that you are connecting the AirPort Express to the AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection....or....are you connecting the AirPort Express to the AirPort Extreme wirelessly?
    but now I cannot get on either because it is a self assigned IP?
    I suggest that you first concentrate on getting the AirPort Extreme working correctly. Power off the modem and both the Extreme and Express, wait a few minutes, then power up the modem and let it run a few minutes. Then, power up the AirPort Extreme and check the network for proper operation. Leave the AirPort Express off for now. Report on your results.

  • Green Light When Join Wifi Network But...

    my question is on my airport extreme model (MB053LL/A) I have asked it to join my 3g wifi router on setup, which it has done with a green light appearing, but now I can't see the base station in my wifi and it looks like my wifi is only connecting to the 3g router not the base station.
    What is happening in this situation?
    What is the base station connected to as it has a green light?

    I think you answered my question with the green light and "no routing connection" when you said:
    The setting is virtually useless on an AirPort Extreme, because the Extreme has no audio capability, and it performs no routing functions when it is configured to "join" a network.
    Since I thought the base station had connected to my 3g router and I saw the green light I assumed the base station could be used as a wifi extender. I know I'm wrong now.
    I have read others who also thought they could get a 3g router's wifi to be repeated without wires through the express and extreme base stations. It seems such a pity Apple hasn't an option to do that or to let a user have the ability to use a 3g dongle in the usb port yet. I hate wires and love wireless. I do have another 3g router from Tp-Link that has an ethernet cable which I can insert into the WAN port of the extreme.
    So in essence you should have one extreme base station connected to the internet through a cable with an external appliance like a printer or external hard drive in the USB port if you wish and then one or more airport express's to repeat and extend the wifi signal if needed.

  • I have a MacBook Pro.  My mac can detect wifi.  But will not connect. I did get connected vis TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere.  Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings.  Red light for the rest.

I did get connected via TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere.  Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings.  Red light for the rest. (Network settings, ISP, Internet and server.)

    Hello NotAppleSavy,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • Can't connect to internet even though Network prefs show all green lights

    I have 3 iMacs in our office with the same issue.
    I can get them to connect to the internet using Airport but not Ethernet. When I connect the ethernet the computers network preference screen shows that a green light and that an ip address has been assigned via DHCP.
    When the ethernet is connected I can connect to other computers on the network but cannot access any external sites.
    Things I've tried:
    -repair permissions
    -making sure OS X firewall is off
    -I tried to ping the router = got response
    -Tried pinging other internal office IP address = got reponse
    -Tried pinging external sites = no reponse
    -I've tried restarting the router and the DSL modem and the computers, but nothing works.
    Any ideas?

    This is usually the other way round: users can connect with Ethernet but not with Airport, so my first reaction is to think about a hardware problem with the router. I would have thought DNS might be a problem (not excluded totally) but you are not able to ping to external sites, while you can ping the router and other devices on the LAN.
    To help refining the problem, how about other (non-Mac) computers: do you have any there; and are they suffering the same problem? If so, the problem may be in the router and it may be an idea to try with another. If not, there is a problem with the settings on the Macs.
    When did this problem start; and what changes did you make around that time?

  • I've had a Samsung network extender for over a year and it's been great.  About a week ago, my iPhone 5 stopped connecting to it.  I've never had problems with this.  All the lights on the extender are blue, so it seems it's working fine.  Any suggestions

    Oh no! Lets ensure that you are connected. Have you tried to reset the Network Extender? Are other devices able to connect to the Extender? Is your Internet service up and running?

  • IMac will not load internnet sites despite it having all green lights on the Network Diagnostics screen.  In other words there is a valid internet signal going into the iMac, but the machine will not load sites. Help? iOS 10.9.5

    iMac will not load internet sites, despite having all green lights (strong WiFi signal etc) on the Network Diagnostics screen. in other words there is a strong
    internet wifi signal going into the iMac but the machine does not connect to the internet.  I OS 10.9.5.  Other devices work fine with the same internet signal.

    iOS 10.9.5 does not exist.
    iOS refers to the operating system on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch.
    10.9.5 was never a version of a Classic operating system.
    10.9.5 was a version of Mac OS X, and is 13 years newer than Classic.
    Here are reasons for WiFi signal to fail even when they appear to be strong:

    Your Mac may be too close to your WiFi router, in which case, it might be better to connect to it via an ethernet cable if it can't be moved.

  • Green light, network recognized, still no internet access

    Hi all,
    After a day of tinkering with my new AEBS 802.11n, I finally got the network up and running, after reinstalling the Airport Utility software and configuring the AEBS settings manually. Yay. But still, I can't get on line. There the AEBS sits, with its glowing green light taunting me, and my MacBook tells me I'm connected to my network, yet zip, nada, no internet access. I've tried unplugging and recycling the modem and the AEBS, separately and together, to no avail.
    Does anyone have any advice?
    Thanks! Kate

    hi kate - oh, i had similar experiences (maybe have a look at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1087373&tstart=0). so for me it looks like a tcp/ip address missmatch. do maybe the following:
    check the modem/routers ip adress on the private side (not the public address on the dsl side). some hints to get this address if not available from the modem/routers manufacturer:
    - connect the modem/router using an ethernet cable (mine is yellow) directly to your computer
    - open safari and enter the address 192.168.1.1 (if you have a netopia modem or 192.168.0.1 if you have a netgear modem or the address of your specific modem/router .... ... right, that's the address you should look for )
    - if you have found the right address the a message will follow that you should enter the modem/routers userid and password mostly "admin" and "1234"
    - you will get the modem/routers menue where you can select somewhere "status" and you can verify the address. and ensure the modem/router is set to "DHCP" and look for both DNS address entries. these addresses you should set in your airport extreme
    - disconnect the yellow cable. and a good idea is to fully restart your computer afterthat
    but the main stuff from this story is, that you have to get somehow the ip adresse from your modem/router for your private network side. assuming now it's 192.168.0.1. so open airport utility, doubleclick on the airport extreme icon and select the internet icon.
    - then set the addressing mode from dhcp to manual
    - set the ip adress of the airport to 192.168.0.255 (this address is out of the DHCP-range)
    - set the network mask to 255.255.255.0
    - set the routers address to 192.168.0.1
    - set the dns-entries to the addresses you have found in the modem status
    - i m not sure if it's really necessary, but i have also set the ip address range for its distribution to 192.168.0.10 - 200 (the airport extreme should not make address distribution, because the modem/router is doing that ... but anyway)
    - reconfigure and restart the airport
    - open in the systems menue from your computer (i don't know the english name of the main mac configuration tool ...), open network, go the tcp/ip and renew the DCHP-lease (also your computer must get a new valid ip adress)
    - open safari and then you should come to the internet ...
    hope this helps

  • Network Diagnostics gives green lights, but machine still won't connect

    I am using a AE(N) base station and wireless network, and as far as I know, no settings have changed. My mac mini has an IP address can send and receive mail, but neither Firefox nor Safari can load any webpages and apps that try to connect like software update don't recognize a working connection. Network Diagnostics give me green lights all the way through "Server" and multiple other machines still work on the same network. I have removed the network login info from the mac mini and erased the mini's connection access from the base station and started over. Mini has no change, and the other machines are still fine. I tried creating a guest network and connecting to that, but it didn't help. I'm running out of ideas to trouble-shoot the problem. Any advice is appreciated.

    In the Network panel of System Preferences, if you click on the "Advanced" button for your AirPort connection, then on the "DNS" tab, what do you see for "DNS Servers"? How does that computer with the same settings for the computers that are working?
    What do you mean by the statement that "I have removed the network login info from the mac mini and erased the mini's connection access from the base station"?

  • AirPort Extreme / Green Light ON / Can't see it on network

    My Setting
    Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi (4th Gen) and Motorola Surfboad Model SB6120 with Comcast service
    Solid Green Light is ON / Internet is working with LAN line connection on Airport Extreme.
    Problem
    I can not see it from wireless.  
    Attempts
    Scan with Airport Utitity from my MacBook Pro
    Scan with Airport Utility from iPhone 4
    Scan with other PCs.....     

    Your problem might stem from having your Airport create a "private" or "hidden" network or by having turned off the wireless functionality of the AE.
    If you think you might have setup a private network, but don't know the name, or turned off the wireless, you can:
    - connect your MBP by ethernet cable; then,
    - adjust the WiFi settings to enable wireless clients; or
    - adjust the Wireless security to disable a hidden or private network.
    If all else fails, perform a hard factory reset by holding down the physical reset button in the back of the AE with a paperclip, and redo the setup.
    Good Luck.

  • Bought an Airport Express in Slovenia, planning to use it in Moscow. When configuring, Moscow is not an option for location. I ticked Ljubljana for set up; got green light, but network not working. Is choice of city the problem?

    While on vacation, I bought an Airport Express in Slovenia, planning to use it in my Moscow apartment. I plugged everything in, seem to have followed the directions properly for configuration - except for one thing.  Moscow does not come up as an option for location. So I tried ticking Ljubljana (Slovenia) as location (since that's where I bought it). The cycle seemed to have worked, I got a green light on the Airport Express, but the network didn't work.  I tried going in to change the location, and chose something called Universal, but the network still didn't work.
    Is the fact that Moscow doesn't come up among the options going to be a problem?  Or is it possible I am doing something else wrong?
    Anyone have any insights? 

    AirPort Utility for the iPhone, iPad, etc does not support the older version of the AirPort Express that you have.
    Try installing AirPort Utility on the Lenovo laptop to see if you can configure the AirPort Express that way.
    If the laptop runs XP SP3 or Vista SP2.....use AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows - Support - Apple
    Windows 7....use AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows 7 - Support - Apple
    Remember that the SB5101 modem must be fully reset before it will associate correctly with the AirPort Express. That means pressing the reset button on the back of the modem (if present) and powering off the modem for at least 30 minutes, then connecting it to the AirPort.
