Help w/ AEBS and TC

So I need some help here.  I have 4 Apple wireless devices.
Airport Extreme Base Station - this is in my network closet here in my home office, plugged into my internal switch.  SSID is freedymacs, 802.11n (b/g compat).  I have a 1TB drive plugged into it.
Time Capsule (1st gen) - this is in my bedroom, with a few devices plugged into it (DVR, BluRay, etc..)  It's not plugged into any network, so I did the "join a wireless network" option.
2 Airport Expresses, both in bedrooms with either a BluRay or Slingbox plugged into it.  Again, joined to my freedymacs wireless network.
All of a sudden, my Time Capsule is flashing yellow and when I'm in the room near it, I have zero connectivity.  in the Airport Utility, it's not found.
I did both a hard reset and a factory default reset.  When I do this, it appears in the Utility with a random name... I go through the setup, but when I have the pulldown for my network to join, it's not listed.  I try to manually fill in the info, and when it reboots, it's dead.  Nothing.
Any idea what's going on here?  Very frustrating.

Try configuring the Time Capsule to "Extend a wirelessss network". This will allow the Time Capsule to provide more wireless coverage (it does not do this in the "join" setup), and it will also enable the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule (which are not enabled in the "join" setup as well).
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = The name of the network that the AirPort Extreme is creating
Check Mark next to Allow Wireless Clients
Wireless Security = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme....probably WPA2 Personal
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme network
Confirm Password
Click Update at the lower right

  • AEBS and ADSL... can't make it work - please help?!?!?

    I've searched the forums and the internet and cannot get this to work. We just moved to Japan and are now using ADSL for our connection through HeroNet. If I plug the ADSL modem into the back of my iMac it connect using the ISP settings provided. If I connect the modem to the AEBS the green light comes on the AEBS and I run the Airport Setup Assistant, it tells me I'm connected, Airport signal comes on the top screen bar, a timer starts going indicating active PPPoe connection, I try to bring up a web page and... nothing! Just keeps trying and trying to connect. I've tried restarting the modem, unplugging and plugging back in, unplugging AEBS, restarting the computer... none of the simple of the simple trouble shooting helps. Internet Connect pops up repeated with "Cannot find PPPoe server" message. Network Diagnostics even tells me that when examining the Airport connection "You appear to have a working internet connection" and tells me I have mistyped the website names Obviously, not the problem. Seems Airport thinks it's connected to the internet but the applications can't use it to get online? Any thoughts would be VERY welcome as I've run out of options and really missing Airport. TIA.

    Oops. I just realized I'm using AEBS to refer to an Airport Express. I have ONLY an Airport Express at this time. So there is only one ethernet port on the Express and that seems to be the confusion. I can wirelessly configure the Express using the iMac Admin Utility if the Express is plugged into the ADSL modem. I am confident I'm entering everything correctly and once I get the setting updated on the Express, the Airport says it's connecting to the PPPoE server and the timer starts counting next to the Airport status monitor (top of screen) suggesting the computer thinks it's connected. Just no ability to make apps use the internet... enter web page and Safari just spins and spins trying but then eventually says it can't connect. No other apps can get "online" either. Any way to make this work wirelessly with my current setup?

  • AEBS and Vigor Router problem.  Can anyone help?

    I've a small home network running an Airport Extreme Base Station, An Airport Express, a 350GB disk and an ADSL modem. The only computer on the network is a MacBook Pro, although my iPod also connects through it. This worked flawlessly for the past 12 months, until the modem provided by my ISP died.
    I struggled with a NetGear ADSL modem for a couple of days, which the AEBS couldn't see. Following comments elsewhere on this site I returned it, and bought a Draytek Vigor110, as this seems to be the product that segues most effortlessly with the AEBS. This morning I managed to get the thing up and running, wirelessly connecting the laptop to the internet, however I appear to have lost the rest of the network.
    The Airport utility can no longer find either the AEBS or the Express, nor connect to the hard drive. The iPod will not connect at all. The laptop steadfastly refuses to pick up any wireless devices in the area, despite being currently connected to the Internet via one of them.
    Any ideas? The Draytek support is non-existent and I'm not particularly clued up on DHCPs, PPPoE, subnets and all that jargon.
    I'm guessing that I've done something wrong with the Bridge mode - but as I can no longer connect to the AEBS I've no idea how to sort this out.
    Thanks for your time.

    hi what you need to do is reset AEBS and connect the WAN port to the vigor and for setup point only the macbook pro to the LAN open airpot utility and connect to the AEBS you need to set the internet connection to PPPoE and enter your username and password for your ISP and also set share a public IP address. you can set up the WiFi side as you like.
    there are not settings for the vigor as it only coverts ADSL PPPoA to PPPoE.
    i use a lot of vigor 100/110 with there Vigor 3300 routers and all you do is just plug the in.

  • Conecting AEBS and AExpress to a Verizon wireless router to extend network

    I have Verizon Fios and with that I have the wireless router that Verizon provides. The signal is great as long as I am in my office. However, in other rooms in the house the performance is decreased significantly. Before having this router I was set up with an AEBS and the performance was great.
    My question is, "how can I extend my network by linking the AEBS and/or the Express with the Verizon router?" I have to have their router so I would be using the AEBS or Express to boost the signal through my 2 story brick home.
    Please help if you can...thanks

    I'm not familiar with the Verizon FiOS-supplied routers, but you should be able to connect an AirPort Extreme Base Station to the FiOS router via Ethernet cable and create your own wireless network with all Apple devices set up in bridge mode.
    Turn off the wireless network on the FiOS router, if possible. The idea is that all wireless clients will receive IP addresses from the FiOS router but will connect to it wirelessly via the Apple devices.

  • New aebs and airport utility won't recognize my (2) airport express'

    I have an new (n) aebs and can't get airtunes to work now. Only get flashing amber on the two ax and the new airport utility won't pull up the ax's, only the aebs. Have turned off ipv6 but no difference.

    How are you connected? Meaning, how is the Mac
    running the AirPort Utility attached to the new
    AEBS(n) and the AX's? Your problem is likely that the
    AX's are already named and configured to operate in
    the old network, but your connection method doesn't
    provide visibility to them...
    Thank you for posting back to me. I finally got them to work and your explanation I thinks explains to me what happened. (I got them up and running just before I saw your reply.) I unplugged both of them and connected them via an ethernet cable to the new aebs and also did a hard restart for both. They then showed up with their alphanumeric titles, not the titles I had given them. Airport Utility recognized them after that. Hopefully my experience and your explanation will help others too. Thanks again.

  • Creating a second network using an AEBS and an Airport Express

    Hey, I am trying to wrap my head around this and am failing miserably. I have an AEBS (802.11n, non Gigabit) and recently an Airport Express. What I am trying to do is connect the Express to the AEBS via the ethernet port and then create a separate wireless network so that I can have my 802.11n computers on a 5ghz N only network and all the other clients (G) on the second network.
    For ease of transition, it would be best if the 5ghz network were the original AEBS and the 2.4ghz b/g/n network be the Airport Express. I've been through the airport utility a number of times, and am not sure which settings are correct. Do I select Bridge Mode?
    I've read Manual, and additional info and still can't get this to work how I expect it to. Any help would be appreciated.

    The AirPort Express (AX) should be configured to act as a bridge.

  • 2  x AEBS and extended network

    Hello,
    I have 2 AEBS setup using the 5Ghz N network and roaming ( second AEBS is extending the wirelss network).
    I works great, but If i allow wireless clients on the second AEBS (which extends an wirels network) it stops working after my iMac returns form standby or sleep mode.
    After that, i am not able to connect wireless anymore, unless i reboot the extende AEBS.
    For now i am okay, because i can live without the wireless clients.
    Any suggestions ?
    Message was edited by: MeijApple

    To help make a comparision, I have a 4G Time Capsule as my "main" router in my network with a 4G AirPort Extreme configured in a roaming network. The connection between the modem and the TC is 1000 Mb/s, as well as, the connection between the TC & the AEBS. Both routers are also at firmware v7.6.3. The AirPort Utility is version 6.2.
    What is the connection value in your case between your primary AEBS and the modem? Is it also 1000 Mb/s or is it 100 Mb/s?

  • Internet Connection lost between AEBS and Mac through LAN

    For the last year I have had no problems with my AEBS. I have it configured like this: My Modem is connected via ethernet cable to my AEBS and then out to my G3. I have no airport card in my G3. All of a sudden I get no outgoing signal from my AEBS to my laptops, nor can my G3 get an internet connection unless I plug the modem directly into the G3 and bypass the AEBS. I am frustrated beyond words and my teenagers are impossible to bear without their wireless connections. Ideas? Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Do you have a cable or DSL connection? If you have a DSL connection, you may need to reset your PPOE settings.

  • Need help to import and syncronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that?

    Hi,
    I need help to import and synchronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that? The default page "Select Remote Content" of the WorkCenter "Unified Navigation WorkCenter" is not working as well, when I run the import/sync button I get the following error message:
    Integration Gateway: General Connection Failed (158,10836)
    This error is thrown when there is no valid response.
    Possible errors include:
    Bad gateway URL
    Sync Service Timeout set and Service actually timed out.
    Java exception thrown - Check Application Server for possible Java exception

    Do you have integration configured between the two systems?  It sounds like you don't from the error.  Here is a walk-through on setting up Unified Navigation although it assumes you have integration already working.  If you haven't done that, it's documented a hundred different places.

  • AEBS and Lion Server DHCP

    Hi All!
    I have a scenario I want some input on.
    1 Mac Mini Lion Server 10.7.2
    1 TC 2nd Gen
    x iPads
    x iPhones
    2 Lion clients
    I want to use the Lion Server for all collaboration services, and use Profile Manager to provide central management of iOS and Lion clients, and I want to use network accounts on the server.
    All is set up and working well, mail, ical, wiki, addressbook, VPN servers, profile manager settings, apart from one thing. how do I best push DNS server settings to the client to point to the server?
    In the TC there are no way to set what DNS server is served to clients. That would solve my case in an instant. Now all clients get the ISPs DNS servers, or pass-through of whatever DNS server is set up on the TC.
    I have 2 possible solutions:
    1. Set up TC to only provide 1 DHCP address reserved for the server, and then use DHCP on the Lion Server for the internal clients. This will work as it has been tested by other users here on this forum.
    2. Set the DNS server on the TC to point to the local Lion Server. I actually just came up with this idéa as I was typing.... maybe that is the answer? The inernal clients get the internal server as DNS and the server uses forwarders or roothints.
    What do you think? If you have this combo, TC/AEBS and Lion Server, how did you solve it?
    /Hasse

    Hi All!
    I actually found the solution myself. Soluton 2 does the trick brilliantly! I can't imagine why I didn't think of this before. I have searched this forum for a solution too, but this just was too easy . The Lion Server advanced admin guide didn't mention this either, even in the chapter about AEBS coexistance.

  • Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

    Hi Experts,
    I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
    Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
    Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
    Thanks in advance,
    C
    SAVING THE LIST DATA TO DB
    DATA: L_WA(800).
    LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
    ZDBTAB-DATALEN = STRLEN( L_WA ).

    ZDBTAB-LINENUM = SY-TABIX.
    INSERT ZDBTAB.
    READING THE DATA FROM DB

                 SEQNR type ZDBTAB-LINENUM,

         AND rundate = w_rundate
         ORDER BY linenum.
    Populate calling Internal Table.
    LOOP AT T-DATA.
    APPEND T_DATA to T_TAB.
    ENDLOOP.

    Hi Anuj,
    The unicode flag is active.
    When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
    LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
    As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
    When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
    APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
    T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
    In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
    Regards
