How do I add a whitelist on AirPort Utility to connect a Kindle Fire?

All of a sudden my daughter's Kindle Fire says it has no wireless connection even though I have the name and password entered correctly. Is this some type of update on the Kindle side? The Kindle tells me (when I tap on the connected wifi name for my computer) signal strength is excellent, status is connected, shows my security with a WPA and additional codes. I have been reading that there is a whitelist I can add devices too but am so illiterate on my MAC that I cannot find it or where to go...my apologies. What do I/ should I do? I am confused as to why I see the Kindle and my computer are connected to wifi but then I receive an error message. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

There isn't a whitelist, per se, on the AirPort routers. Instead there is a means to prevent a wireless device from accessing the AirPort by its hardware MAC address. Unless you have enabled this feature, via the AirPort Utility, all wireless devices should be able to connect.
One area to look at as a possible cause, is the Network Name (aka SSID) that you are using for your AirPort's Wi-Fi network. If it contains special characters or spaces, you may want to consider changing it to something that has neither to see if this helps.

How does one add a device to ColorSync Utility

I was wondering how one can add a "device" to ColorSync Utility? It seems all my "other" devices are showing up, such as my printer (which also has scanning capabilities). However, I'm not seeing my i800 Microtek Scanner, "renamed" as ScanPotter anywhere, yet IS in my "Utilities" folder, and no doubt this could be the reason why everytime I scan a photo from a print, negative or slide I'm getting annoying "pop-ups" to install Xll Quartz, which IS already installed. Also I plan to install the new PhotoElements 11...am I going to have a problem with that as well

Maybe it needs to be in Applications?

How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to Satellite Receiver

How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to Satellite Receiver?

Depending on how you have your AirPort Extreme configured to work with the satellite receiver, it may or may not be possible to enable the Guest Network function.
We will need to check some settings on your Mac or PC, but in order to do that, we need to know what operating system you are using on your computer.
If you have a Mac, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

How do you add more lan to airport extreme?

how do I add more ethernet ports (LAN) to my airport extreme?

A switch has no routing functions....just as if a router were in Bridge Mode.
The switch will be on the same subnet as the LAN port on the router....assuming that the Ethernet cables, etc are all working correctly.
You can plug into the switch, or into one of the Ethernet ports on the AirPort Extreme. The connection is the same....everything is on the same LAN. If you want, you can plug another switch into the switch.....or into another LAN port on the AirPort Extreme. All the same.

HT4522 Sounds fine but how do I add partitions in air port utility

Sounds fine but how do I add partitions in air port utility

It is possible to partition the drive, but you have to physically pull the hard drive from the Time Capsule and place it in a separate enclosure for the formatting operation, then reinstall the drive again back in the Time Capsule.
Unfortunately, in addition to a lot of work, this will void the warranty on the Time Capsule.
It is possible to create one or more disk images on the Time Capsule using Disk Utility.
While a disk image is not technically a "partition" in the normal sense, it will allow you to specify and reserve a given amount of space on the drive for the image or images that you create.

HT3500 To add a wireless adapter to my Airport Extreme network using WPS, documentation recommends adding it under "Add wireless clients" in Airport Utility but there's no such an item anywhere in v6

I am trying to connect an Iogear Wifi adapter from my home entertainment center to my Airport Extreme home network (secured with personal WPA) using WPS. Apple's support literature says to do this through Airport Utility (v.6) choosing Manual Setup from Base Station Menu and Add Wireless Client. After hours of searching and fiddling I cannot find "Manual setup" or "Add Wireless Client" in the Airport Utility (v.6). HELP. andy

Those instructions are for Airport Utility v5.5.3 or v5.6. As a matter of fact, Airport Utility 6.0 does NOT have that options. So assuming you have Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4, you have to download and install Airport Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion. Then follow those simple instructions you have.

How do you archive a disk with AirPort Utility version 6?

Has anyone figured how to Archive Disks with AirPort utility version 6? I can see both drives but it refuses to do an Archive in version 6? (I don't even see a button to do so in the UI?)

Please download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
Keep both 6.0 and 5.6 on your Mac (6.0 cannot be deleted).

How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to another router.

I have tried doing this by changing the Internet Settings in the Manual section of the AirPort Utility. When I set Connection Sharing to 'Share a public IP address', it tells me that the beginning and ending DHCP Addresses are conflicting with the Airport Extreme.
What would be a better way?

Thank you very much for your quick and clear response.
What would be the consequences if I disable the NAT & DHCP on the upstream router?
Btw, the reason that I use the AEBSn is that I have problems connecting ipad/ipod/iphone to the router provided by the telephone company (I'm living in Spain - and because of that we have a lot of visitors coming over). Besides that, I'm working with a MacBook Pro and to be able to be as mobile as possible, I have a hard disk for Time Machine connected to the AEBSn.
At the moment, the AEBSn is connecting the following to the Internet:
- Ipod touch
- Ipad
- Iphone
- 2 x MacBook Pro
- AirBook
- Old G4
- Blu Ray player
- HP Printer

AirPort Express not recognized by AirPort Utility, but connected to WiFi network

Hi all,
This problem with AirPort Express is driving me nuts. I purchased AX to use it mainly for AirPlay, but I never managed to get it fully working.
It seems to be working fine for some time after initial boot, but then the AirPlay play option disappears from iTunes, and AirPort Utility (5.6.1) no longer finds any AirPort device.
I'm using a Planet WNRT-625G router as a base station (connected to my modem box), and I'm joining this WiFi network as a client (I understand extending the network does not work if it's not an AirPort Extreme station?). The WiFi is protected by a WPA2 pre-shared key, and I have tried using different channels. I have assigned a fixed IP to my AX... all to no avail.
In the status details of my router, I can see that the AX is connected, and I am able to ping my AX... but all Apple software cannot find its own device. Any clue what may be going wrong? How does the AirPort Utility find AirPort devices?
Thanks to all in advance for your help and ideas! Appreciate it.
jfk-007

by design the AX will create a separate network when it starts up for the first time.
click on the airport icon in your menu bar. you should see something like Apple network XXXXXXXX. in order to set up the express, you will have to temporarily join its network !
you will get a message asking "do you really want to switch networks ?" and you do want to do that. now you should see the AX in AU. click on the icon of the AX once to highlight it, then click continue.
follow onscreen instructions to either have the AX create a new or join an existing network.

Airport Utility cant connect to Airport Extreme Base Station, Error code -4

I am unable to use my Apple-product. Earlier it worked, with these settings: The Airport Extreme Base Station worked as a Gigabit switch and an Access Point. It was not supposed to work as a router, since I have a server "on the far side" of the AEBS.
In any case, it worked for a while. Then it started to act strangely, so I tried to check its settings. I was unable, so I did a factory reset. And haven´t been able to connect (for configuring) since. (It still works as a router and access point, but with the default settings, and with a blinking yellow led.)
When I use the Airport Utility (5.5.1) connected with a cable it finds nothing. Should I be able to configure it wired? When I connect wireless to the default "Apple Network XXXXXX" it finds the Airport Extreme "with default settings". I click "continue" or "Manual setting", and it says "Detecting wireless Apple Devices" (bear in mind that I translate the messages from swedish, It might get wrong), and then after a minute:
An error occurred while trying to access the base station. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again. Error Code: -4
I have shut off the firewall in both Windows and Panda Cloud Office Protection. I have tried to make lots of factory resets.

Airport Utility dropping connection

I own a month-old 27" iMac, just upgraded to OS X 10.8.3. After the update, I began experiencing trouble with the airport utility.
It will randomly drop the connection and refuse to pick back up unless I turn wifi off, and then back on. Airport still displays all the availble networks, as well as showing that its still connected to my network. I am also able to surf on my MacBook and my iPhone while my iMac refuse to load any webpage.
Anyway to rectify this? It's getting a bit annoying to reset the airport every 20 minutes.

Dell computer using an airport utility having connection issues

I'm having issues with our airport utility connecting to the internet throughout the day. It will be connected and then randomly drop service. When it does this I check and it says no DSN. I tried to reset it and start over but it still keeps happening. I'm not computer "smart" so I am not sure where to go now with it. We have comcast as our internet and we have a belkin port adapter so we can hook up additional units to the internet and be "direct" connected not wirelessly. Can anyone offer some help or advice?
Thank you!

Add the dns manually to wireless network setup.
In the XP configuration of the TCP/IP for wireless adapter.
Use DNS of 8.8.8.8 or your ISP DNS address not the airport router.

Report on Airport Utility when connecting Access Points to Airport Extreme

I have a plan to upgrade my Access Points for a better bandwidth of speed rate of wireless connection in my local connection.
There are the lasted model of Airport Extreme, and 2* Airport Express. Both of the Airport Express are connecting to Extreme by CAT5E.
The speed transfer will always be limited at 100Mbps, due to the limitation of Ethernet port in Airport Express.
The question is, if I replace Airport Express with other brands that support up to 600Mbps with USB support for printer, what would it be reported in Airport Utility.
Would I still be able to manage as an Acces Point through the Utility, and use it for printing server.

Mmmm, if you replace those expresses with 3'rd party routers, you may run into some issues there.

Airport utility wont connect from my windows 8 pc to my airport extreme

my airport extreme is model number A1408 and I am using a windows 8 pc to try and use the Airport utility app to connect to my base station to port forward and ive done it before but now it wont detect my router even though im connected to the wifi from it and when i try to manualy connect it gives me error -6753 can anyone help me?

Figured it out. To print wirelessly via airport express 2nd generation you have to do some things. Download the bonjour printer thing mentioned above and have the printer plugged in to the airport express. Then run the bonjour printer thing and select your connected printer and install. Where I went wrong was I tried to print from my hp printer (1). When you install a printer with bonjour to print wirelessly it installs the same printer (2) so it's like there's 2 different printers in word or whatever you use to print. You have to select the one that says ready. Thanks for everyone's help
