How do I add a wireless client in Airport Utility V. 6.0?  Option missing?

I am trying to add a wireless client to my Airport Extreme base station, version 6.0.  In previous versions, there was an option under "Base Station" to add a wireless client, but that seems to have been taken away.  First, why, when it seemed to be the perfect place for it?  Second, where was it moved?  I need to re-add my bridge after a power failure and it is SO frustrating!!

Suggest that you download and install the more functional AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion , which was available on the same day as AirPort Utility 6.0. It seems that a number of users have missed this.
You can keep both 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac and use the one that you want. But, since 6.0 is now part of the Lion operating system, you cannot delete this application.

  • How do you ADD a Wireless Client PC to your Airport wLan?

    If no security is enabled on the airport extreme 802.11n
    PCs and Macs can get online easily
    As soon as I enable WPA or WPA2
    my macs can get online using the password
    my PCs want a network Key of a specific length and hex format
    and my airport utility app offers a phenomenally long 'equivalent' network password which does not make any of my PCs happy...
    There is also an option of adding a wireless Client (a menu item in the airport utility app) but it closes the page as soon as I click on the menu item - I have NO ACCESS to this feature... something of a bug in airport utility version 5.2.2
    the option is supposed to be add a Client using a PIN or simply add the first client to connect... NEITHER of these features work - the airport util software simply refuses to load that config page!
    what gives?
    how can we solve this?

    Here's a wonderful piece of info that could help all of us...
    Many wLan cards on the PC side don't seem to like WPA2
    so you can resolve that issue by selecting WPA in the Airport utility
    If you are using WPA / WPA2 on the airport extreme
    then... go grab a PC
    yes, I said a PC... ARE YOU LISTENING APPLE?
    on the PC, you need to install the software that came with your Airport Extreme 802.11n... it looks the same as the SW on your trust Mac
    but the thing is, it actually works when you want to ADD a new Wireless Client to your network.
    now... when the PC has the software up and running and you can see your Airport extreme - ADD A WIRELESS CLIENT but don't use the PIN method - that method failed 5 out of 5 times I tried... Use the First Attempt method..
    You will likely get an error but ignore it and go to the wLan connection app in your windows taskbar (bottom right side) you will want to VIEW Wireless Networks available to you.
    If you see your airport, great, click the CONNECT button and the app will ask for your NETWORK KEY
    Just enter your Wireless Password (the same one you used to configure your Airport Wireless Security on the WIRELESS page of the Airport Utility)
    then click connect and voila... all 6 of my PCs were able to access via WPA
    I am stunned that I wasted so much time with this
    and concerned that Apple's software acts differently on the PC allowing me to ADD users whereas the Mac application simply would not load the page
    in case you are wondering I used the following versions for this time wasting exercise
    Mac: Airport Utility v5.2.2
    PC: Apple Airport Utility for Windows v5.0
    gosh what fun this has been
    on the Mac ADDING a wireless Client failed (see my post earlier)

  • 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.

  • Can't add wireless client in Airport Extreme, what is and where is 8-digit pin?

    Recently we bought a new MacBook Pro and at home I have a wireless network for my computer. I wanted to add the MBP to the network, but without using the network password, so I was looking around on here to see how to do it and I looked at the manual, but the manual doesn't tell me where or what the 8-digit pin is.
    My question:
    How do I add a client using an 8-digit pin, more specifically, where can I find this number?
    I've looked at a few discussions in here regarding the same issue, but found no result. Sorry if this really has been solved before and I was not able to find it.
    Details:
    Computers:
    iMac (bought in November 2007)
    MacBook Pro (Sept 2011)
    OSX:
    Lion 10.7.1 (on both machines)
    Airport Base Station:
    Airport Extreme 802.11n (2nd Generation)
    Version 7.5.2
    Airport Utility:
    Version 5.5.3 (553.20) (on airport admin machine, iMac)
    Network:
    -Closed
    -Not extended
         Wireless Security:
              WPA2 Personal
    I am unsure if this piece of information is of any use or importance, but I have an older machine (PowerMac G4) connected to the Aiport Extreme via Ethernet, aswell.
    Thanks

    Yes, I think so? Maybe I should have specified my goal with the network.
    Since my brother got a new laptop, I needed to add him to the network somehow. I didn't want him to know/use my password, so I was looking into creating a separate network altogether, but as I learned I cannot do that with the Airport Extreme I have. Then I was looking into other ways that would allow me to let him use the network but without having to type in the password, and I found that "Add a Wireless Client" thing. According to that, all I needed to do was put in an 8-digit pin that was "provided" by the client. I thought that I could just make up some 8-digit pin and that ultimately would be his "password" for the network, but even typing in abritrary 8 digits wouldn't allow me to click on the "continue" button or whatever button that is, the button would remain inactive.
    I temporarily changed the password to the network to have him added, for now (connecting normally, click network name and type in password), but if I can figure out how to get him on something separate or just him not having to type in the password, that would be better so I can revert or change my password to something else more meaningful for me.
    I hope this makes more sense.

    If your printer is not an AirPrint compatible printer, there are third party printer apps in the App Store that you can purchase and install.
    iPad printing apps.

    You can also use your computer as the print server for your printer.

    You printer manufacturer may also have their own printing app.

  • HT5022 I'm trying to add a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    I'm trying to add my HP wireless printer as a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    Why would you need to ADD a new Client. Unless the APE sytem is completely different then any other Wireless router the printer should get an IP address from the router. That is IF the printer is setup to get an IP from the LAN DHCP server.
    Now you may want to make that IP it does get a Staticly assign IP address so it never changes, which will screw up printing if it does change. But i don't know if you can do that with APE routers.

  • How can i add a wireless printer HP officejet 6310 all in one? is it possible

    How can i add a wireless printer HP officejet 6310 all in one? is it possible..?

    Hi @millep 
    To answer your question, no the Officejet 2620 is not a wireless printer;
     - Source: Printer specifications
    As for the USB cable, personally, I believe the intention is to bring down the cost of the printer by selling the USB cable separately. Many people already have printer USB cables kicking around the house, so instead of paying more for the printer and having an extra cable I believe the theory is reduce the cost and sell the USB separately for those who need to purchase one.
    I hope this answers your inquiry.

  • How do I add a printer to my airport

    How do I add a printer to my airport so I can print with my MAC and iPad and iPhone?

    This is user to user support.. where if we can help you we do.. but otherwise we don't because we don't know the answer.
    If your question is left for 24hours sometimes an Apple rep will point you to a document. that is all.. they never help.. just point.
    Anyhow I see you have posted twice.. with time stamps 2min apart.
    And in the wrong order so anything is possible.
    ipad and iphone can natively print only to printer with airprint.
    See printing with iOS..
    About AirPrint
    Does your printer support airprint.. ?? If so it will be wirelessly connected.
    If it doesn't support airprint there are endless apps on itunes store to help you.
    Look at a print software you load on the Mac that captures jobs for airprint and sends them to the correct printer..
    Printopia.. but there are a zillion others.
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/
    Nowadays printers are the razor holders.. the toner or ink cartridges are the blades.. just buy a new printer.. that is actually capable of the job. Plugging in USB printers and expecting to use them over networks is never 100% successful.. USB is an interface for local connection not network.

  • How to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

    how to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.

    Cisco vpn client..
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

  • How do I add a new wireless client using airport 6.1

    I have purchased a new Onkyo receiver with a wireless LAN adapter and have been unable to locate the "add a new client" and enter the PIN code to enable the adapter. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    @Daemach2,
    You need to select "CF+Tomcat Bundle" for the Application Server if you are using CF10.  Jrun is for CF9 and earlier.  Then Server Home should be C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion and Document Root should be C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot.

  • How to modify Time Capsule wireless clients?

    I have a Time Capsule that I use as the router for the house. We've had a lot of computers connected to it over the years. What I am wanting to know if it is possible to remove wireless clients that are connected or previously connected. Under Finder there is an HP computer that is connected but to my knowledge there is no Windows based computer using the network. At one point there was an old HP laptop connected to it. But for the life of me I can not find anything or figure out how to remove this computer from showing up under the Finder. I am confident that the problem resides at the router because I can see that same device connected.

    Under Finder there is an HP computer that is connected but to my knowledge there is no Windows based computer using the network.
    Maybe you have an HP printer that is connected either by wireless or Ethernet?
    Does the HP device show up in the list of current wireless clients? If not, then the HP device is connected via Ethernet to your network.
    What I am wanting to know if it is possible to remove wireless clients that are connected or previously connected.
    If a wireless device is already connected to the network, the only way that you can remove it is to change the wireless network password, or set up Timed Access on that device..
    Chaging the password will disconnect all connected devices, then you will have to log on again from each device that you want to connect.

  • How to look up a wireless client via MAC address

    One of my AirPort Expresses shows a wireless client whose MAC address I don't recognize. Is there some utility that will show me info (manufacturer, etc) of a wireless MAC address?
    Also, under what conditions would one choose to set up the Wireless Mode of an AirPort Express (Extreme) to "Extend a wireless network" and when would you choose "Participate in a WDS network"? The help files don't explain this stuff very well.

    If the "g" Express is set to "join", it does not extend the wireless signal, it receives the wireless signal as if it were a computer. The idea behind "join" was to provide a means for users to stream AirTunes to a remote location with an amplifier and speakers.
    If you are not using it to stream AirTunes, there's really no reason to have it powered on. As you have probably discovered, the ethernet port on the "g" Express is not active.
    You'll need to recheck some settings on your main base station, the Extreme to make sure that it is setup correctly. Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup and click the Wireless tab below the icons. Just make sure that there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended". Update to save any changes.
    The "n" Express should be configured using AirPort Utility, Manual Setup, Wireless tab. Check that your Wireless Mode is "extend a wireless network" and make sure there is a check mark next to "allow wireless clients".
    As you have discovered, the ethernet port is also active on the "n" Express when you have it set to "extend" and it will also stream AirTunes. Great features on the "n" Express.
    You might think about adding another "n" Express to extend to another area.
    Ethernet is always the best choice for speed and stability if you are able to hide the wire through the house. If it's not feasible to run an ethernet cable, take a look at ethernet powerline adapters.
    You would use a pair, one device at the Extreme end and one at the other end where you want the signal to go. These devices use the home wiring to transport an ethernet signal and they work very well. Not quite as good as straight ethernet, but close and far better than wireless overall.
    I bought a pair from DirecTV to setup the On Demand service because I didn't want to crawl through a hot attic to run an ethernet cable from my office router to the DVR. Much faster than wireless...and I previously had a very good wireless connection between my Time Capsule and the Express I was using to extend.
    Hope you get things figured out soon.
