  • Help.  Is the Airport Extreme Card compatible with my iMac?

    Probably stupidly simple, but I'm not sure of the answer. I've tried to get the answer online, but no luck. Can someone tell me if the airport extreme card will work with my iMac?
    TIA,
    Ben
    Hardware Overview:
    Machine Model: iMac G5
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
    CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz

    Yes the AirPort Extreme card is the correct card for your iMac.

  • HELP! Please with Airport Extreme

    I bought an Airport Extreme in July when I also bought my MB Pro. I finally got my CPU room done and want to hook it up tonight and after 2hrs, it still doesn't work. The LED continuously flashes yellow, which is suppose to mean no connection or signal from my cable modem. This doesn't make sense, my connection is fine through either my old Linksys router and/or directly into my either net port on my computer. Is there a setting I didn't get right or do I have a bad base station?????

  • Airport Extreme - USB harddrive for iTunes storage

    Looking for advice. Can you connect an external USB hard drive to the AirPort Extreme and point an iTunes libary at it? What I would like to do is buy a 16Gb iPad and use a USB hard drive connect to the Airport as a media libary. If that would work do you have to connect it each time as I have had problems with an external hard drive before on iTunes, in that the computer always needed to be configured each time I switched it on. I guess I'm looking for a media server without using a Mini Mac or similar. I'm also assuming the USB port is powered?
    Is this a practical solution iPad as the controller, USB hard drive connected to Airport Exterme as the libary,

    Please check out this User Tip article for the details on how access an AirPort Disk from a remote location.

  • Please Help: I cannot get the Airport Extreme settings right with AT&T DSL

    AT&T Motorola 2210 DSL Modem.
    I have tried both bridged on/off and different configurations on the Airport Extreme, but I cannot get online. I am out of ideas. I called AT&T tech support and because it's not one of their wireless routers, they wanted to charge me to troubleshoot, ridiculous.
    Please help

    If you find that the Double NAT setting will not allow the PS3 to connect correctly, your only other option is to change the configuration of the modem to either +PPP on the computer+ or +Bridge Mode+ and then configure the PPPoe service on the AirPort Extreme.
    I assume that you have already set the modem up using the default IP address of 192.1681.254 (I think this is it). You'll need to locate the page to change the settings and it will probably have a red warning sign on it. Either PPP on the computer or Bridge Mode will work. Update to save settings.
    Then under the Internet icon in AirPort Utility:
    Connect Using = PPPoE
    enter your user name (probably your email address with the service provider)
    enter your password
    Leave the Service Name area completely blank
    Connection = Always On
    Disconnect if Idle = Never
    Update to save settings.
    That will eliminate the Double NAT issue and the PS3 should get a clear indication. As I said, when you have the PPP connection on a device other than the modem, you may see an occasional drop and restart of your connection. That seems to be a fact of life with this type of setup.

  • PLEASE HELP!!! Airport Extreme's Driving me CRAZY:)

    I need HELP.......... I have Mac OS X (10.5.1) just went today to Best Buy and bought the Airport Extreme. Here comes the problem. I have internet service with Alltel (the Franklin wireless CDU 550) that plugs into the USB. So, I ran my installation cd plug in the Airport device and NOTHING. Says that it cannot connect to the internet. I have my Alltel usb plugged into the back of the Airport and the Imac with the "Y" usb cable. I can connect using just the alltel connection but not the Airport. Just keeps blinking orange on the front. In the network list, it's showing the Airport is ON. ++PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I need the Airport to connect my laptop and my childrens PSP's.++
    ++**If you do know what to do, please list the steps! I've read SO many blogs that I need SIMPLE HELP NOW! Thank you so much in advance!++

    Solution for this is a router designed to work specifically for that purpose. There are several that will work. The average price seems to be around $120 or more.
    Here is a router that works from cradlepoint. It is an evdo router. You can plug the usb franklin card right into it and it broadcasts the wifi signal. The router part number is CTR-350. They also have one that is battery powered as well for on the road (which also has a power adapter for plugging in if the battery is dead.) That model is a bit more expensive.
    Check out evdoinfo.com or the 3gstore.com...they have a lot of good information on this stuff.
    Good luck.

  • Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

    Hey Guys!
    I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
    The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
    Can you help me? Please?!
    Thanks Folks!

    This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

  • PLEASE HELP!!! AIRPORT EXTREME IS GREEN BUT NOT CONNECTING TO INTERNERT!!!

        Please, I'm begging of fellow man, women and children to help me figure this out!
    What Happened:
         I had my Internet and everything working before I went to work at 3 PM. My girlfriend got home around 4 PM and all of a sudden the my Internet was not working. I had to call my ISP, Comcast, and we had tested Internet connectivity which worked perfectly fine which is how I am typing this now. After that, I looked up some things that would remedy the situation. Power cycling the modem for minutes, seconds and hours. Also, I have tried to plug both the modem and router without plugging any Ethernet cord in to both of them, wait for them to power up, hook up the Ethernet cord and nothing. I have done factory resets on both the modem and routers and created a totally new network to see if that was the problem and noting. I have also changed the IP addresses, Subnet Masks, Router numbers, DNS servers and Domain names and nothing. I was stupid and did not get a protection plan on it, and my warranty JUST expired a couple of weeks ago, so I have barely had this router for a year. As all indications go, it is saying that it's connecting to the Internet, but when I go to my Macbook Pro and check the system preferences it's saying its connected to the airport, but when I do the assist me function and go to diagnose or assistant and test everything, the Internet and Server are yellow and everything else is green. I DON'T KNOW THE ISSUE!!!
    Hardware:
    Modem - Motorola Surfboard: Model SB6121
    Router - Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-FI
    Any and all advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated. I do not want to have to purchase a brand new router after just purchasing this one last year for over $150. I'll be eagerly awaiting your help. Thank you in advance.

    @Mark Scott, are you referring to my cable modem or the apple router. I'm currently connecting to the internet just fine connecting the ethernet cable to my Macbook Pro laptop directly and having everything connecting just fine. Its when i try to connect wirelessly to the AirPort Extreme router is when I am unable to connect. If you were referring to the connecting the router directly to the computer and seeing if there is an internet connectin, I don't think that would help anything at all. Please let me know if this is what you meant and I will try it anyways.

  • Ordered the Airport Extreme Base Station - some questions if you can help?

    I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit IBM ThinkPad T500 laptop I need to connect, and a Windows Vista PC. The ThinkPad has a built-in wirless N card and the Vista has a Belkin N+ USB wireless adapter. Can these both find and connect to the Airport without me installing any software (Bonjour etc) on them?
    Since they are using the N+ wireless cards, will they connect to the Airport at 2GHZ or 5GHZ speed? If they can connect at either speed, what controls that?
    I also have a MACPro desktop. I was hoping to configure my airport using it and hoped not to have to worry about configuring the other 2 pcs.
    My old router was a Belkin n+ 2GHz router. Could I use that router as a repeater with the Airport. How can I do that?
    Thanks for any help on these questions.

    Welcome to the discussions, Michael!
    I can't help on your Windows / PC related questions, but can offer some input on the last two questions.
    +"I also have a MACPro desktop. I was hoping to configure my airport using it and hoped not to have to worry about configuring the other 2 pcs."+
    You will use AirPort Utility to configure the AirPort Extreme. It should already be on your Mac. Check Hard Drive > Applications > Utilties > AirPort Utility. This will also come on the installation CD.
    +"My old router was a Belkin n+ 2GHz router. Could I use that router as a repeater with the Airport. How can I do that?"+
    In order to "extend" a wireless network created by the AirPort Extreme(n), you would need another AirPort Extreme, an AirPort Express, or a Time Capsule. The Belkin would not be compatible with an Apple base station for this purpose.
    If you connected an ethernet cable from the AirPort Extreme or used a pair of ethernet powerline adapters, then you could possibly configure the Belkin to create a wireless network, but unless it was 5 GHz capable, you would not be able to mimic the 5 GHz "main" network that the Extreme would be creating.

  • Airport Extreme(SW) keeps dropping the WAN connection under "heavy" load

    Hey,
    Have had this problem ever since I got the Airport Extreme when it first came out and I got it.
    The problem is this : The connection will work just fine for ages, but if I end up downloading something using (primarily this is the problem) torrents and I end up getting a rather good speed on it the airport will all of the sudden stop getting data from the WAN(ADSL modem connected to it through the WAN connection) and the Airport will have to be restarted. Some days it will have to be restarted up towards 15 times a day.
    The Airport remains accessible through the LAN connection, as well as through the WiFi when it has failed like this so I can go in through the Airport Admin Utility and restart the unit without any problems whatsoever. The modem does not need restart or reiniting either.
    The problem occurs no matter of if I am on the hard wired (LAN) connection or the WiFi connection. If I download something using a torrent that is high speed, especially if its more then one torrent at the same time (say 4 torrents each running at 200-300kbps therefor peaking at the roof of what my DSL connection can handle) then it will absolutely lock up after a minute or so. If I only do surfing or 'ordinary' work then there is no problem.
    The problem is easily repeated.
    * If I connect my laptop by wire to the modem directly without the airport in between there will be no problem.
    * I have software reseted the Airport many times to attempt to fix the problem when it has gotten on my nerves with no positive or changing result.
    * I have the latest available from Apple firmware(5.6) installed on the Airport.
    * I have no 'weird' or abnormal settings set on the Airport, and no neighbors playing tricks on me - This problem was with me when I used the airport fully locked down in a office environment and then went with it when I moved my airport unit out of my office in to my home.
    * I have no other wifi units in the house that may cause problems, no bluetooth phones running amok.
    Airport details:
    Apple Airport Extreme Base Station
    Firmware Version: 5.6
    Wireless Security : Not currently enabled
    Wireless Channel : 1 (automatic)
    Built in modem : No
    Prod # : M8930LL/A (A-1034)

    Hi guys,
    Recently I bought AirPort Extreme 802.11n Base Station (Gigabit, MB053LL/A), and
    seems, I have very similar problem with yours. Internet connection from my ISP over WAN is dropped after few hours of being idle. The router successfully receives its IP settings from provider's DHCP, eveyithing is working fine at first and as long as I have some inet activity. Then I disconnect, or sleep my laptops, and when I'm back - WAN provides no Internet traffic at all It looks like WAN is not functioning or blocked in someway. AirPort Utility and logs show no problems, all statuses are good, correct WAN IP settings are shown in the utility.
    Sometimes it helps to plug-out/in Ethernet cable to WAN port, but more often only full router restart helps (with around 10-20 secs of outage). BTW, WiFi connection between the router and laptops is pretty stable and causes absolutely no probs. HDD connected to the router works good also.
    My firmware is 7.2.1 (gigabit), and reading above posts I tried to downgrade to 7.2. It didn't fix the problem So well there are no earlier firmware versions for this AEBS model to try.
    Does anybody have ideas about it?
    (I understand you guys mostly wrote about 100Mbit version of AEBS)
    Thanks you,
    Strim

  • I have an older Airport Extreme (disc shaped) that we use with my wife's PowerBook (OS 10.5.8) and my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4).  We currently only have Airport Utility on her Mac, but I want to upgrade the utility so I can use it on mine.

    I have an older Airport Extreme (disc shaped) that we use with my wife's PowerBook (OS 10.5.8) and my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4).  We currently only have Airport Utility on her Mac, but I want to upgrade the utility so I can use it on mine. Which version of the utility will work on my MacBook, and still control the older Airport Extreme?

    if I update the Airport to the latest version, and "control" it with my MacBook Pro, will the older G4 still be able to use the signal from the new Airport?
    Yes. Your G4 shouldn't have any difficulty connecting to a Wi-Fi network provided by the latest 802.11ac AirPorts as they support the earlier radio modes that the G4 uses.

  • I have an Airport Extreme, it's only flashing amber and won't go solid green. I use my ipad 2 to try and setup the Airport and I keep getting "an unexpected error occured, try again."

    I have an Airport Extreme, the light is only flashing amber and won't go solid green. I use my ipad 2 to try and setup the Airport and I keep getting "an unexpected error occured, try again." I've tried my iphone 4 with the same result. I've tried the utilty on my pc and same result. The airport is producing a great wireless signal and working to all devices. I really just want to get in and set the password.

    When you did those resets, did you continue to hold in the reset button until the status light blinked several times?  If you didn't, then you didn't do a full reset.
    Here's what I do to reset an AirPort base station:  I unplug it, press in the reset button, then, while continuing to hold in the reset button, I plug it in.  (Yes, doing this can be easier for people with more than two hands!)  I then watch the status light and wait until it flashes rapidly several times.
    I have a Time Capsule that I couldn't configure at one point.  To recover from that I had to unplug it for many hours.  You might try unplugging your unit overnight.

  • I am trying to hook up my Airport Express to my current network and AirPort Extreme but keep getting the same error message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."

    I am trying to hook up my Airport Express to my current network and AirPort Extreme but keep getting the same error message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." Any thoughts?

    This sounds as if you have an older AirPort Express that is no longer supported by the newer Mavericks operating system.
    To check and see if  that might be the case, locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Hard to see in the faint print.....so you may need reading glasses or a magnifying class to see the model number clearly.
    Model numbers A1084 and A1088 of the AirPort Express are no longer supported by AirPort Utility in Mavericks.
    You will need to use a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to administer the older AirPort Express.
