Help. I lost my installation CD for my for my new AirPort Extreme 802.11n
Need help. I lost my installation CD for my for my new AirPort Extreme (802.11n). How can I download the new Admin Utility?
Hi Gr8Tucano,
Currently the Airport Utility does not appear to be on the downloads page, you can call Apple support line to receive a replacement disk, but be aware there may be a charge for replacement CDs.
Regards,
John

My Kindle Fire asked for a password for my Airport Extreme 802.11 Wi-Fi. The password used on other devices using the Airport Extreme does not seem to work and Apple Support is not willing to help unless a service charge is made. How do I change my password or find out what the password is?
I am assuming that you are referring to the AirPort's wireless security password and not its base station Administrator's password ... correct?
If so, there are number of methods of resetting a password if you don't remember what it is. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for additional details. -
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) For non Core Duo Computer
I have two older macs:
IMac G5 20 1.8GHz[1.5GB -160 GB]
IBook G4 12 1.07GHz [1GB - 30GB]
and currently using an AEBS
ANY CHANCE FOR ME TO USE THIS NEW
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) ???
THANKS
RG
IMac G5 20 1.8GHz[1.5GB -160 GB] AX - AEBS ::IBook G4 12 1.07GHz [1GB - 30GB] AX :: Ipod 60 GB Mac OS X (10.4.1)802.11n refers to a speedy wireless connection. When
you connect with a wire, you're not using 802.11 at
all. You're using Ethernet, and your Core Duo mac
will connect to the Airport Extreme at 100Mbs (a
little faster than the top speed of 802.11n). Then
The top speed of 802.11n is considerably faster than 100Mbps. In narrow band mode, the Airport Extreme cards are connecting to AE Base Stations (AEBS) at 130Mbs. In wide band mode, 270Mbs. In theory, that makes connecting to the new AEBS device wirelessly faster than via the wired ethernet. It's a design decision that just doesn't make sense in my opinion. -
Help needed connecting Iomega Minimax Ext HDD to Airport Extreme 802.11n
Would appreciate if someone can help me with the following task. After researching and trying several things, I have not succeed in resolving the issue.
I want to connect a Iomega MiniMax Ext HDD (for Mac) to my (Airport Extreme 802.11n + Time Capsule) box using the USB port at the back of my Airport Extreme. Then I want to access the Ext HDD wirelessly as a drive on my Macbook (snow leopard OS). I was told this was possible at the Apple Store...but have failed so far.
Any suggestions so farHello smitra. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The following are the basic steps for sharing an external USB drive attached to either an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) or a Time Capsule (TC):
o Plug the hard disk into the USB port on the back of the base station.
o Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows
o Select your base station, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Click Disks in the toolbar, and then, click File Sharing.
o Choose “With a disk password,” or “With base station password” if you want to secure the shared disk with a password, or choose “With accounts” if you want to secure the disk using accounts. If you choose to use accounts, click Configure Accounts, click the Add "+" button, and then enter a name and password for each user that will access the disk. For simplicity, I would recommend using the "With a disk password" option.
o Choose “Not allowed,” “Read only,” or “Read and write” to assign guest access to the disk.
o Select the “Share disks over Ethernet WAN port” checkbox if you want to provide remote access to the disk over the WAN port.
You should now be able to find this drive within Finder under the SHARED category. -
Why can't I install software for AirPort Extreme 802.11n while running Mountain Lion OSX? The installation CD simply says that the software can't be installed while running this OSX.
Mountain Lion already has the most recent, updated version of AirPort Utility installed on your Mac. The version on your CD is out of date, so you can trash the CD.
Look in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility. -
For the new airport extreme what type of cable do I need to connect to my cable modem. Is Cat5 OK or will that bottle neck things?
Assuming that your cable modem has Gigabit Ethernet ports (possible, but it probably does not) Cat 5e or Cct 6 would do the job that you need.
If the cable modem is using a 10/100 Mbps port, then Cat5 will be OK. -
How do I get a download since I don't have my start up disc for AirPort Extreme 802.11n
How do I download to start using AirPort Extreme 802.11n. I can't find my start up disc. and don't see any downloads on Apples website. Then how do I hook it up to work with my Westell modem?
Please download and install AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows. The Windows Firewall and or Microsoft Security Essentials will tend to block the connection from your PC to the AirPort Extreme, so you may need to adjust the firewall settings on the PC or check the Essentials application if connection difficulties occur.

I have an 2tb time capsule 802.11n Wi-Fi base station can I use this as an external hard drive and use a new airport extreme 802.11ac Wi-Fi for my wifi?
You can use the 2 TB Time Capsule as a network drive. That means that it must connect to one of the Ethernet LAN <--> ports on the new AirPort Extreme, or connect to the network using wireless.

AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for Mac 4 use with Touch?
Hello,
I have a 2nd Gen Touch with the latest updated software. I use Airport to connect to the internet on my new iMac 24". Will the AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler software now offered in the Apple store($1.99) for Mac improve communications between the Touch and my iMac?
ThanksNope. Your touch is still limited to b/g mode wireless. In fact, if you have an all n network, your touch won't even know that it exists.
Most of your Mac to iPod communication is via the USB cable unless you are using Remote or other applications that can move files on and off.
BTW, that software is to enable early intel Macs to use N wireless. If your Mac is relatively new, you won't need it.

Is there any chance we'll see WMM (WiFi Multi-Media) in a firmware upgrade anytime soon? I noticed that according to the WiFi Alliance's website, when the AirPort Extreme was certified, it supported WMM!

As an early adopter, I just got a BlackBerry 8320 from T-Mobile, which does UMA, so you can use the phone over WiFi. Works awesome with wireless routers that do WMM, basically doesn't work with my AirPort Extreme... As you might imagine, this is quite frustrating, as I have particular desire to have two APs, for basically no reason!

Subject: a rather pressing Airport Extreme (802.11n) issue
i'm not sure if the person receiving this email will have any power (or will
care enough) to do anything about sorting this problem out, but hey...
better to try and fail than not trying at all, right?
anyway... here goes:
i am a die-hard apple user- heck, even a long-time stockholder- and recently
bought an airport extreme (802.11n) router for my house. it worked
flawlessly and i thought it was the best thing since sliced bread... well,
until i picked up a UMA phone from T-Mobile.
UMA is a service that routes your calls over WiFi. for some reason the UMA
service worked everywhere except over my Airport Extreme base station. as a
surprise, it even worked over my neighbour's older Airport Extreme (802.11g)
connection.
i swapped base stations (ie, brought his base station to my house, connected
it to my network) and it worked. so, it is an issue that is clearly
isolated to the new 802.11n base stations.
thinking it was only me with this issue, i dug around the internet and found
this discussion:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1152014&tstart=15
(if you want more, just google the keywords 'airport extreme UMA')
obviously there's no resolution and people are getting quite peeved that a
state-of-the-art base station can't do something than an older base station
can clearly do. so, can someone please look into this?
thanks!

I want to replace a four year old Time Capsule for a new Airport Extreme, how difficult is it? The ADSL connection come from a Modern Router provide by the local Telephone company.
Reply back when you get the new device, but in short, you'll have to put your extreme in bridge mode and just connect the same wires as your current TC.

Help! - I can't get my airport extreme 802.11n to work
Hi everyone,
So yesterday I purchased and attempted to set up my new 802.11n AirPort Extreme, however I could never seem to get it to establish a connection (even though the ethernet clearly works, as I am typing this message with it now connected directly into my imac). The airport said that it created a network and the light was on a solid green, indicating that it was working properly.
So, in my infinite wisdom I tried to monkey with all of the settings in the AirPort Utility. In the process of doing this, I tried to click the "join a network" instead of "create a new wireless network." Now when I try to find my wireless airport, it can't even locate any AirPort devices
I have tried to "reset" my AirPort Extreme by inserting a pen into the reset button and holding it down, but it does not seem to work. Is there any other way to reset this device back to it's initial factory settings so that I can try to set it up again?
If anyone has any ideas, I could certainly use the help.
Thanks,
SeanSean, hold in the reset button on the AirPort Extreme until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly. Keep holding another 3-4 seconds when you see this and then release the reset button.
That should allow Airport Utility to "see" the device so that you can reconfigure it.
When you say that the ethernet works, I assume this the connection from your modem. If you have a cable modem, you will need to completely reset it so that it will associate with the AirPort Extreme.
Push the reset button on the cable modem
Power it off
Pull the battery if it is easily accessible
Leave it off at least 20-25 minutes or longer before you power it back up
This information above assumes that you have a cable modem. If you have a different type of connection, post back on your progress. -
Can you use airport extreme 802.11n for files backup
Can you use airport extreme 802.11 for files back up and sharing
You can if you connect a hard drive that has been formatted correctly to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups for this type of setup, but you could store regular files this way. -
Help! Lost my installation CD for my 0404 USB. Urgent! Help needed please!
Hi all,
Please could someone send me or provide a link to the installation drivers for the 0404 USB for Windows XP? I am really desparate and have looked EVERYWHERE I can think of on the internet with no luck.
History:
I reorganised the cabling around my PC, and in doing so, somehow my USB hub seems to have stopped working. When I plugged my 0404 directly into a USB hub on the PC it didn't recognise it. So I thought I'd uninstall and reinstall the software. Then I realised I had lost my installation CD, and then found that E-MU / Creative websites don't have the original installation drivers that come on the CD on their website. This has completely warped my feelings about this company in one fell swoop. Having been very happy for prob 2 years with the E-MU 0404 to find that they have seemingly intentionally left off these drivers from their site and therefore wasted probably 2 hours of my time in the last 24 hours is maddeningly frustrating.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,

I have never used driver installation found in original E-MU 0404 CD but only the installation you can download from E-MU support pages (remember allow firmware upgrade as well).jutapa
