HELP installed airport extreme

I bought and installed the airport extreme to replace my airport express thinking it would be faster but what I have is problem accessing web pages now. I have it as a secured network but now cannot access web sites outside the USA it appears please help.

moblind, Welcome to the discussion area!
Which G4 do you have? Most of the Power Mac G4s require the original AirPort card not the AirPort Extreme card.
You can identify your Power Mac G4 using (KB 58418) "Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models" and (KB 42739) "Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models, Part 2".
Only the Power Mac G4 (FW 800) is compatible with the AirPort Extreme card.

I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network." I seem to need to enter a security key/passphrase to connect to the PC. Where do I find them?
Thanks for your help.

I assume that you have Wireless Security enabled on your AirPort's wireless network. The issue maybe that the PC is unable to use the WPA password itself and will require using the Equivalent Network Password instead.
To get this password, you will use the AirPort Utility from the MacBook:
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort base station > Manual Setup
Now, before doing anything else, go up to the utility's menu bar at the top of the screen, and then, choose "Base Station," and then, Equivalent Network Password from the drop-down menu. You will see two items: 1) WPA Password, which should look familiar to you, and 2) WPA Pre-Shared Key. It should be a long hexidecimal set of numbers and letters. Jot down this second item.
You will want to use the value you just jotted down when entering the password from the Windows Visa PC.

Trouble with Maya 8.5 after installing Airport Extreme

Installed Airport Extreme 802.11n a couple weeks ago - using OS 10.4 on an iMac and 10.3 on G4 Quicksilver.
Network is working fine.
Tried to use Maya 8.5 this week and program freezes on startup. Only change to Mac system is installing network.
Is Autodesk license manager unable to recognize computer with network setup?
Thanks for any help.

Maya not being able to recognize the license dat file will not cause Maya to lock up or crash. Have you run a Maya crash log to confirm what is causing this? Since upgrading from Tiger to Leopard I also upgraded to Maya 2008 (don't know why Autodesk didn't call it 9.0..lol) from 8.5. I haven't experienced any system crashes on Leopard, even on the MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz, 3 GB RAM, ATI X1600). Note: I'm also using the AEBS in the SOHO and no issues with the license server.

I have installed Airport Extreme on my iMac, but want to extend the wireless network with Airport Express. Everything is fine until I try to select Extend the wireless network. I select Extend Wireless network but have no success. Ideas?

I have installed Airport Extreme on my iMac, but want to extend the wireless to rooms with a weak signal. The internet connection is fine with the basic setup. As soon as I go into Airport Utility to select Extend Wireless Network and fill in what I believe is proper information, I get an error message that Airport Extreme no longer has an IP address, the internet connection is broken, and under Wireless, that there is a wireless network in existence that can't be found. Rebooting the modem only brings the Airport Extreme back to the starting gate so that the internet is once again available. I assumed (naively) that with the All Mac All-the-Time context, adding Airport Express would truly be Plug and Play. I got the plug, but no play. I asked a Comcast technical specialist about it and he said that I needed to reset the Airport Express settings back to their default, factory status. I looked that process up online and found out that the way to do that was to hold down the reset button, then plug Airport Express into the socket and wait for the green light to flash four times. Then wait 45 seconds and the default settings will return. I did all that, only to find out that after the initial flash of green, green never appeared again. I got a fast flashing yellow light, followed by the light going off. Apparently this didn't reset it properly. So, after hours trying to get this system to work, I appeal to someone who can see through this mess and provide the key to success!

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

How do i install airport extreme on a windows pc and route it to another windows desktop?

The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) is an Internet router that supports both wired and wireless network clients. You can connect both of your desktop, using either media, to the AEBS for network connectivity.

Why airplay stop when installed airport extreme

After installing airport extreme, I cannot airplay from my iPhone 4S.

First check to make sure that the AirPort Extreme (AEBS) has been configured to allow the wireless to be extended.
Open AirPort Utility, select the AEBS and click Manual Setup
Click on the Wireless tab just below the row of icons in the setup window
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Jot down the exact name of the wireless network and the type of security that the device is using
Click Update to save any changes
Perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express (AX) as follows:
Power down the AX for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in another 10-12 seconds as you plug the AX back in to power
Release the reset button and allow 40-45 seconds for the AX to restart to a slow, blinking amber state
Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the AX
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab below the icons to assign a name to the AX, device password and adjust Time Zone settings
Click on the Wireless tab and adjust your settings as follows:
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your AEBS wireless network
Enter a check mark next to Allow wireless clients
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as the AEBS network
Wireless Password = Same password as the AEBS network
Confirm Password
Click Update to save settings. Close AirPort Utility as soon as you see the message that the settings have been stored and wait 40-45 seconds for a green light.
Unplug the AX and move it to a location that is approximately 1/2 the distance from the AEBS to the area that needs more wireless coverage.
If you are using a PC, as your post indicates, the Windows Firewall will often block the connection between AirPort Utility and the AEBS or AX, so you may need to check the firewall settings for "blocked" connections, or you may need to "allow" a connection in the firewall application.

How to install AirPort Extreme card in eMac?

I just recently acquired a 2005 G4 eMac (the top-of-the-line model with the SuperDrive and 160 GB hard drive), and I am trying to install an AirPort Extreme card into it. Apparently I think the instructions must differ from this one:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2596
Since this is for the older AirPort cards.
I pushed the card in all the way, logo facing downward, screwed in the antenna, etc., but the Mac still won't recognize it! What should I do to get it working?

Numerous eMac users who installed Airport Extreme cards in the past have brought up that the Extreme card is a very tight fit in the eMac Airport slot, especially compared to the original Airport card. Often, the card appears to be fully seated, but is actually some fraction of a millimeter out. After seating the card according to all the instructions, you have to push hard on the edge of the card to get it to really seat all the way, hard enough to just start to push the 50-lb eMac away from you (don't try this with the eMac on the very edge of the table or desk!). I ran into exactly that putting an Extreme card in my in-law's eMac, and I had already read other's warnings; that may give you some idea how firmly you really need to push the card once it feels as if it's seated.

How to properly install airport extreme?please help

please help me install this airport extreme

please help
thanx

When changing ISPs (or networking equipment) it's always a good idea to start from "scratch" in configuring your equipment.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

Help after installing airport extreme on my ibook G4

Hi,
I installed an airport extreme card but then how do I know that my G4 recognizes it? Does it need any software or should it automatically pick it up? Help Im new to mac so Im still learning how to get around it. I have os 10.39 on it.
Thanks,
Millie

how do I know that my G4 recognizes it?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and click on More Info, or open the Network pane of System Preferences.
Does it need any software or should it automatically pick it up?
The necessary software should be included with Mac OS X 10.3.

I have installed Airport Extreme in my study where the Sky broadband hub lives. The internet is great in the room where the hub and the Airport Extreme live, but when I go to another room in the house, the internet connection fails. Help?

How can I increase the range of my Airport Extreme? I don't live in a particular large house...I just want to be able to use the internet throughout my house. I purchased the Airport Extreme on the understanding that I would be able to access the Wifi connection throughout the house. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong, if anything?

Are your walls made out of sheetrock by any chance?
You could purchase another apple router, and set one to EXTEND the other to increase your range.

Need help with Airport Extreme and my new Verizon Fios Internet connection

I just got the Fios install, and the tech and I couldn't figure out how to use my Airport Extreme as my wireless connection. I'm not real tech savvy (and I've only been a Mac guy for about 18 months). My current arrangement is the basic Verizon setup with the Airport out of the loop. How can I go about moving from here back to using my Airport Extreme? I need the range! Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you tried resetting and reconfiguring the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)?
Are you using OS 10.5 or OS 10.4 or earlier?
Are you using the round 802.11b/g AEBS or the square 802.11b/g/n AEBS?
If you are using OS10.5 OR the square 802.11b/g/n AEBS you should refer to "Designing AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility" (direct PDF link).
Otherwise you should refer to "Designing AirPort Extreme Networks" (direct PDF link).

Installing Airport Extreme Card

I bought an airport card from Apple. I am installing it in a mid-08 Mac Pro. Are there any instructions out there on installing it? I have installed it in the slot, and have hooked up the antenna to the card (it has two posts), but for some reason, it is not recognizing the card. Any suggestions?

Here is a step-by-step:

Hope it helps. If you are close to a apple store, you can have them do it. I think it costs $25.
