HELP! How do I configure an airport extreme card , so I can set up AEX base

Hi
I have had an iBook for a few years now with an Airport Extreme Card installed but not configured. Have just bought s/h Airport Extreme base station (cone shape) to go wireless, but am having MAJOR probs configuring the AEC to start with so I can set up the base station!
It is asking me for a Client ID, to set Airport to DHCP?? this means nothing to me...
How do I configure the card initially??
Can anyone help, PLEEEASE??????

purplemouse, Welcome to the discussion area!
There is absolutely nothing you need to do to configure the AirPort Extreme card. After you install the card and boot the iBook, the OS recognizes the card.
It is asking me for a Client ID...
What is asking you for a client ID? This is not a normal prompt. What application are you running?

    How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?

    OK. The 6.0 version no longer has a printer configuration that I could find. You might try Printer Sharing in the Sharing preferences.
    I would also check the printer's user manual for help with the setup, and that failing check the manufacturer's website and/or tech support.

  • How do I setup my Airport Extreme so that I can extend the coverage of my existing AT&T wifi network?

    How do I setup my Airport Extreme so that I can extend the coverage of my existing AT&T wifi network?

    Start by establishing a permanent fixed Ethernet cable connection from one of the available LAN <-> ports on the ATT modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
    Ethernet cabling can be run up to 300+ feet or 100 meters, so you should be able to locate the AirPort Extreme exactly where it will be needed to provide more wireless signal coverage.
    Configure the AirPort Extreme to "create" a wireless network using exactly the same wireless network name, same wireless security setting, and same wireless network password that the ATT wireless is using.
    The final step is to insure that the AirPort Extreme is configured to operate in Bridge Mode, so it will work correctly with the ATT modem/router.
    If you need more specific steps, we need to know what operating system you are using on your Mac or PC. If you have a Mac and do not know which operating system it is using.....click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X version number that you see there.

  • How do I configure my AirPort Extreme as a wireless access point?  My cable modem goes to a router, and one of those ports goes to my AirPortExtreme.

    I am about to hook up my airport extreme.  My cable modem goes into a router, and one of those ports will supply my airport extreme.  I was told by the Apple Store that I would need to configure my airport extreme as a wirreless access point.  How do I do this?

    With sbcgobal I got a Gateway 2wire modem. What I would like to know is how do I set up my APE as remote?
    Unfortunately, you won't be able to do this as few non-AirPort routers will work with AirPorts in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

  • How do I configure an Airport Extreme base station to receive and distribute a wi-fi network from a broadband wireless router?

    I have recenly upgraded my broadband service and now have a wireless router. My old network configuration was a router connected by ethernet cable to an Airport Extreme base station which then broadcast my wireless network (I also had an Airport Express base staion set up as a wi-fi booster elswhere in the house).
    I now have two networks (my original network and the new network from the wireless router) and wish to amalgamate these into one.
    Ideally I wish to use the Airport Extreme base station as the "remote" booster (I have purchased Powerline adapters for this purpose) but don't know how to configure the Airport Extreme base station in order to to this.
    Can you advise on the best set up for this please?
    My Mac is running OS X 10.8.2 and the Aiport untility is version 6.1.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    The AirPort Extreme should be configured to "create a wireless network" with the same WiFi network name, security type (usually WPA2 Personal) and password as your existing router. It should be configured as connection type Ethernet and be in bridge mode.

  • How do I configure my Airport Extreme in Lion?

    I could configure my Airport Extreme using the disk provided when running Snow Leopard. The upgrade to Lion appears to have 'uninstalled' the utility. Now when I try to reinstall it it tells me that it can't install it on the hdd because
    "The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported"
    What do I do now?
    Thanks
    Andy

    You should not still be using that disk.  There should be an up-to-date version of the AirPort Utility in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.  Use that.  If it's not there, there's something wrong.  If it's missing, in Snow Leopard I would have said to use Pacifist to extract that from the installer, but I don't know if that works with Lion's installer or not.

  • How do I configure my Airport Extreme firewall?

    I seem to remeber configuring a firewall on my Airpot Extreme/Time Capsule when I first set it up.  How do I get into it again to check the configuration settings - The Airport Utility does seem to provide a way in.

    There is no "firewall configuration" on the AirPort Extreme. It provides a NAT firewall but this automatically closes all ports apart from the ones you choose to open.

  • How do I configure my Airport Extreme to work in Bridge Mode and provide specific IP addresses to clients

    My Airport Extreme is working with an Airport Express to wirelessly extend my wireless network.  Both Airports are configured in Bridge Mode per the instructions I found on Apple's support site.  I want to assign a specific DHCP address to a wireless camera that is in range of the Extreme, but I understand that the Extreme needs to be in DHCP Only mode to do this.  But if I change the mode to DHCP Only, the Extreme will lose contact with the Express.  How can I get both functions to work - wireless network extension and specific DHCP addresses?

    Then what device is providing DHCP? Only once device per subnet should be the DHCP server. One should be DHCP and NAT and the other in Bridge mode for most home setups. The unit with DHCP and NAT should be the one connected to your cable or DSL and the other set in Bridge mode only extends your network.
    On the wireless config page set whichever you're using to extend your network to "Extend a wireless network" and give it the details of the network to which you're attaching it.

  • How do I configure my AirPort Extreme to allow printing from my Macbook to an HP PSC 1210?

    I currently have an AirPort Extreme [model A1354] connected by cable to an iMac [3.2 GHz i3 / 10.6.7]. I have an HP PSC 1210 series "All-in-one" printer attached to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Printing from the iMac works just fine.  However, I cannot print from my Macbook [ 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo / 10.5.8]. While the printer shows up when I go to "Add a printer", I still cannot print to the printer.  When I hit print, the print window closes, but nothing prints.

    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the  AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.  
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try. 
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule 
    Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

  • How do I install the Airport Extreme card??

    Apologies if I am just being dense. In the shop they told me to do this myself at home and follow the instructions. There were no installation instructions in the box. I eventually found something on a website (not here) for 2001 iBook models (mine is 2004). Was doing fine until the card was supposed to click smoothly into the plug thingy. It doesn't. I don't want to force it in case I damage something.
    I asked them in the shop to check that this computer does take the Extreme card rather than the old one, and they said it did. Can anyone help??

    lemontree, Welcome to the discussion area!
    If you have the 12" iBook G4, the instructions can be found in KB 26277, iBook G4: CIP Instructions.
    If you have a different iBook, visit www.apple.com/support/diy/ and choose your iBook from the drop down menu.

  • I have a MacPro 2008 workstation without Airport or Airport Extreme CArd isntalled. Can I use Airport Express to connect (wireless) to my wireless network? If so, can I then connect my Airport Extreme to my MAcPro by a ethernetcable ?

    I have a MacPro 2008 workstation. It has no Airport/Airport card so I have to use an ethernetcable to connect to my modem. As the MAcpro
    is in my office in the attic and the wireless modem is in the basement I have a problem. I wonder if it is possible to use Airport Express to connect to the wireless network? Itshould be like this: in my office I connect the MacPro with AE through an ethernet cable. If I can then get AE to connect (wireless...) to my wireless network I should be ablle to connect my MacPro to internet/wireless network. Is this possible???? Any suggestions are very much appriciated. Thank you.

    Apple calls this configuration a ProxySTA.
    To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility.

  • How do I connect an Airport Extreme to my ISP with a static IP address?

    I have 5 static IP addresses from my ISP. The cable modem has five ethernet jacks. I run an ethernet cable from separate jacks on th cable modem to the devices listed next. I have one static IP address assigned to a Linksys wireless router for a MS network. Another is used by my VoIP router. I want to use a third static IP address for my Airport Extreme and set up a new network for a server running Leopard Server, iMacs, latptops. When I enter a static IP address in the Airport Extreme, I can't connect to the internet. Can anybody help?

    When you configured your Airport Extreme with one of the five static (and public) IP addresses available to you - did you remember to also configure the Airport Extreme with your ISP's router (or "gateway") IP address as well as the IP address(es) of your ISP's domain name servers?

  • Airport Extreme card does not see any networks...help!

    I have a home network that is working fine - 2 linksys routers with WDS set up... it all works great - an Ibook g4 running 10.3 and has an Airport Extreme card connects flawlessly everyday. As does an old G4 powerbook with an old airport card.
    however, I have this dual g4 with 10.4.3 running, and a recently-installed airport extreme card.
    When I turn airport "on" it never sees our network. And it doesn't see my neighbors' networks, either, which are also always visible.
    I can, howevr, connect via ethernet to the router that is somewhat nearby. that networking is fine...I can get on wired, but not wirelessly.
    I've installed the 2005-1 update, and have run Software Update as well to see if there are any other patches/updates necesary. so as far as I can tell, I am up to date.

    I am at a loss. Is there anything else I can do before writing off the card as a bad card - or perhaps the logic board is faulty?
    I hope there is a simple solution to this. I appreciate your expert help.

    Go back and recheck the Airport Extreme card installation. Make sure you plugged the connector for the internal Airport antenna into its socket on the Airport Extreme card itself - and make sure the plug is fully seated into its socket (none of the metal sleave should be showing).

  • Installing airport extreme card in a macbook pro

    need help replacing the airport extreme card in my macbook pro. need details on how to do it

    Without an airport extreme card, there won't be any Wifi signals going to and from the router (unless you have your machine hooked up via ethernet cable, in which case you don't need an airport card because the signal is transmitted through the cable). Most Macs have a card installed - which Mac do you have?
