How can I configure my first gen Airport extreme?

does anyone know how I can configure my 1st Gen Airport Extreme with my latest Airport Utility? Or is there another way?

A 1st Generation AirPort Extreme is model number A1143. Please check on the bottom of your device to confirm that you have this model number.
A1143 can be configured using the latest version of AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion OS X (10.8.4).
If you don't see model A1143......you do not have a 1st Generation AirPort Extreme. What model number do you see?

How can I set up first gen airport after upgrading to Mavericks ?

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and the latest version of Airport Utility (6.3.2) and now get an error message when trying to change settings on older Airport Expresses - "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." The older versions of the Airport Utility software do not appear to work in Mavericks.
I have two Expresses (both are used for streaming music) and want to change some basic settings on one of them so it connects to a new network, but cannot access either.
Thanks for any help

I made my complaint:
Angry that you broke my ability to configure my airport with Mavericks.
Angry that I had to jump through a lot of hoops to find that out.
1. Airport service and report (instead of that link you could have put It won't work)
2. Several links from there.
3. read through many pages to try to find the software or firm ware that might help.
4. Finally came to the conclusion that there was no combination of 802.11g and Mavericks.
5. Went to community support where one of you customers revealed "It won't work"
6. Googled it and found a page that would make it work.
7. Decided I would just buy a new router.
8. Will go spend money angrily to update the thing.

Hi guys, recently had the same issue. You require an older version of Airport Utility to configure the older Airport Express. It can be found here.

How can I open ports on my AirPort Extreme, from WINDOWS?

I have an Airport Extreme as my router, and I have a Windows-based computer. I need to open ports on the router (ironically, it is for my Apple TV).
However, even though I can use the Airport Utility for Windows (latest version 5.5.3), I cannot open ports from the application.
Everywhere I look, I am supposed to have a firewall tab in the Advanced section, but I do not have it. The only tabs that I have in Advanced are:

How can I open ports on my Airport Extreme router from Windows?

Is your AirPort Extreme the only router in your network configuration?

How can I force my Second Generation Airport Extreme to use 2.4GHz when extending the network of my Fifth Generation Airport Extreme?

Hi,
Would be great if anyone can help. I have setup my Second Generation Airport Extreme to extend the network of the Fifth Generation Airport Extreme. The 2nd generation Airport extreme seems to automatically get set to use 5GHz vs 2.4GHz. I would like to force it to use 2.4GHz so my older devices can connect to it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike.

Enable the option to assign a different name to the 5 GHz network on your 5th Gen AirPort Extreme.
Then, the 2nd Gen Extreme will only "see" the 2.4 GHz network, and extend that signal.
If you are not sure how to do this, post back to tell us what operating system you are using on your computer so we will know what version of AirPort Utility you are using....so we can provide the correct steps for the setup.

How do I configure port forwarding on Airport Extreme via Win 7/64?

Hello all,
I'm trying to forward some ports in order to correct issues with setting up servers for video games, i.e. I can connect but another can't while yet another can connect fine, etc. So far, despite thorough Google searching, I have not been able to find a solution that matches my exact problem.
The specific ports I want to forward are 7777 and 25565. Currently, my connection is through Northstate Communications using an ADSL modem/router (Zhone Model No. 6218-I2-200-0NS) hooked up to an Airport Express + Time Capsule (Model No. A1254, version 7.5.2). As far as I know, the only reason the Airport Extreme is there is for the time capsule, but I don't know for sure whether my computer is actually connecting to the internet through one or through the other. I didn't set it up originally, unfortunately.
I currently can't edit the settings for the Zhone. Supposedly, typing 192.0.0.1 into the address bar of my web browser should open the router configuration utility, but instead it returns "Oops! Google Chrome could not find <address>." I can, however, use the AirPort Utility for Windows to edit all of the AirPort's settings. I have followed the instructions in this YouTube video to forward the port 7777 using the AirPort Utility: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFad6NvddRk but changes I make to Advanced/Port Mapping apparently do not work because www.whatsmyip.org and www.canyouseeme.org report that a test of port 7777 is either timing out or unavailable, respectively.
I am concerned that the IP address automatically provided for me when I create a new port mapping is not the correct IP address since it is 10.x.x.x, which I can't find anywhere in any settings on the computer or online. But, when I type in the IP address I get from www.whatsmyip.org (97.x.x.x) and then go back to edit the setting I created, it has apparently reverted to 10.x.x.x without saving the address I entered.
So, what am I doing wrong? Do I need to change some settings in the Zhone router before it will work, and if so, how can I access it? What is the 10.x.x.x address that the AirPort Utility assigns to new port mappings by default? Since I intend to use Hamachi to host the game server, do I need to use the IP address given to me by that program (5.x.x.x) instead? As far as I can determine, all my drivers are up to date. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Other system specs given below:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.00 GHz
MB: MSI 790FX-GD70 AM3 AMD
RAM: Corsair Dominator 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1600 (PC3 12800)
Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1333 (PC3 10666)

Wireless: AZiO AWD102N PCI Wireless Adapter
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
-R

Thanks for your response. I attempted to do that, but I couldn't find any way to access the configuration for the Zhone router. Typing the IP address into my web browser's address bar only resulted in "page could not be found" or "page timed out", etc. I called tech support at Northstate, who likewise suggested that the Zhone router should be set to bridge mode and the AEBS set to router mode since it would be easier for me to configure the AirPort. After wrangling a bit with them over my inability to change any settings for the Zhone, they sent a technician over. He messed around with the Zhone, apparently putting it in bridge mode, and we managed to get the AirPort to work without any double NAT errors. I reset the AirPort and created a new configuration file. Unfortunately, when I went to the Advanced/Port Mapping menu and repeated the original steps to forward port 7777, tests at www.whatsmyip.org still returned "timed out". The technician said he wasn't knowledgable enough about Apple products to assist me any further and suggested I call their tech support or visit the nearest Genius Bar. So that's about it. Any other ideas?

How can access hours be restricted with airport extreme

I want to be able to stop my kids from accessing the internet and bogging things down during the day when working from home. Is there an easy way to do this with an Airport base station network or by setting up a guest network? I have tried using parental controls but that limits all computer use, not just online access hours. Any help would be appreciated.

You do have a number of choices available to you to restrict access, either completely through AirPort's Access Control, or limiting what they will be able to access on the Internet. If your goal is to restrict them from particular sites or categories of sites, like P2P sharing torrents, one option is to use OpenDNS as your DNS provider. Through their service, you can easily configure what they can access or not.

How can I see the disk in airport extreme

Hello
I have an airport extreme, I downloaded the Airport Utility, I connected the printer and everyting is fine, I can access the printer from other computers at home. Then I unplugged the printer and connected an USB disk (working of course), and everything is fine, Airport Utility detected it. However, I dont know how can I access the disk from the computers. I have all windows 7 computers at home, but now way to see the disk. What I am doing wrong
thank your

I don't use this setting, so can't offer much assistance, but do know that your computer is exposed to the Internet, so it will receive all inbound traffic.
Normally, a typical use of Default Host would be to setup a game console to allow online gaming when NAT settings otherwise would not allow communications to occur.
You might want to start a new post for your question...but to get informed responses....you will need to state what you are trying to do. what steps you have performed, etc.

How can I print from ipad2 via airport extreme to hp printer on USB.

Is there a way to get iPad2 to print via airport extreme to a non wireless hp printer?

Unfortunately, AirPrint will only work with AirPrint enabled HP printers.
Check the HP site. They may have an app available you can use for your USB / Airport printer.

How can I access USB drive on AirPort Extreme with iPad

Good day. I recently purchased an AirPort Extreme, and am very pleased. I thought I would take advantage of the ability to store files and videos of my children on my USB drive on the router. Installation was flawless, however, i cannot access the USB drive with my IPad. I have seen several postings about this, am i correct in reading that this is not possible without a 3rd party app? If that is the case, could someone point me in the right direction?

Have you tried this? (And is the Airport new enough that you can call Apple?)

How can I see my HD over Airport extreme

I have a Seagate 3TB HD with USB3 ( backward compatible to USB2) connected to the Airport Extreme USB port. The HD is formatted to be readable to the Mac and Windows in my workgroup. The Seagate light is on so I know the USB port is connecting. The HD is password protected and I put that password into the Airport Utility. I have made the access to the HD account dependant and put in the 3 of us who will be using it. In Airport Utility 5.6 I can see the 3 TB drive. But it doesn't appear on my desktop. (Note I have downgraded Airport Utiity from v.6, because the 5.6 is more compatible with another wireless adapter I have.) Please Help.

How can i get my 1st gen airport back on line?

I use my airport express with iTunes to send music to my stereo.
I have done this for the past 4 or 5 years.
The other day i noticed that it wasn't working and upon inspection found that the power to it had become unplugged.
Plugged it back in to power and got a blinking amber light.
Went to my MacPro and the Airport Utility (6.0) could'nt find it.
Booted into another drive that didn't have the 6.0 update and it still would'nt show up.
Tried all the prescribed methods of resetting the unit, still no luck.
Tried with my iPad2, no luck there either.
Nothing has changed hardware wise since it last worked.
Can the AP be connected by ethernet to my computer and be reprogramed?
Do I say goodbye to it and buy another?
On another thought, what has happened to the speellll checker?
Has anyone turned in a bugggg report on this?
I'm using 10.7.3
Thanks All,

HT5022 I am using Mac OS version 10.9.2 how can I configure a 802.11g AirPort Express? I have AirPort Utility 5.6 but can't run it

Thank you for any suggestions

My frustration stems from the fact that the devices haven't stopped working.
Neither have any of my Apple devices, the oldest of which dates back to 1985, and some of which remain in daily use with Macs running Mavericks. They have plenty of moving parts, too.
I gather you would be thrilled if your Express were to have simply have stopped working some time ago. If you are waiting for it to die, you may have a very, very long wait.
They are quite capable of continuing to fill their function.
So do OS X Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion. All those operating systems are quite capable of administering your original AirPort Express. Use one of them, as I explained in my original reply to this Discussion.
Even if you were to consider your old Express fully depreciated, which it is not, it cost you all of about 25¢ a week to enjoy the benefits of using it. If you consider such an expense unwarranted, you ought to reevaluate what you consider an essential expense, and what does not.

Thanks for the info, this really helps.
Power up the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button on the back of the Extreme for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
It might be possible to use wireless to configure the Extreme, but I recommend using a wired connection. Temporarily, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on AirPort Extreme.
The illustration below shows an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme on your screen.
AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Extreme will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
Enter a device name that you want to use for the Extreme and click Next
Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures things for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
You can disconnect the Ethernet cable that you used for the set up now. Things should be working. The Extreme is providing additional wireless coverage the the Ethernet ports are enabled. You can connect to any port that you want since they all operate the same in this type of setup.
