How do I determin if the extended network is working

I have a first gen Express and configured it to creat a network.I have a 4 th gen Extream and configured it to extend the network(It also has my backup drive and printer pluged into it at the far end of the house).How can I determin it is extending the network it seams to be working it has a green light but the wifi signal is not showing up under the wifi signals available on my laptop and I am only seeing the Express under the available wifi's to be connected to and the signal is low.
Thank You
Albert

Next, perform a Factory Default Reset on the Extreme as follows:
Power off the Airport Extreme by pulling the power plug from the back of the device
Wait a few minutes
Hold in the reset button first, and continue to hold it in for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power plug back in
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Temporarily, move the AirPort Extreme to the same room as the AirPort Express
Configure the Extreme again by selecting the Extreme in AirPort Utility and clicking Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab to name the device, estblish a device password and adjust Time Zone setttings
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as the AirPort Express network
Check mark next to Allow Wireless Clients
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as the AirPort Express
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Express wireless network
Verify Password
Click Update and wait 25-30 seconds for a green light
Move the Extreme to a location where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the Express and power it back up
Perform the BSSID tests again to verify that the Extreme is extending the wireless signal

  • How do I determined if the USB ports are working?

    How can I determine if the USB ports are working.  Macbook Pro i7.
    Thanks for any help.  This is a new computer to me migrating from a PC system.

    Blessings to those who are able to reply with possible answers.   I am sorry....but I have spent days working on getting my two USB ports to work also.  I basically use the USB ports for a wireless mouse and various flashdrives/memory sticks.  I have a MacBook Pro 2011 Snow Leopard 10.6.8  I have tried software update, SMC and PRAM resets, battery reset, hardware test, creating a new user account....and browsing and reading numerous discussion boards.....awgh!  I have stopped short of using my install DVD (fear of loosing data), upgrading to Lion or Mountain Lion (some fear of loosing an application that might not be compatible), contacting an Apple Store (AppleCare or whatever--live 2 hours away + fear of expense), and of course, trashing the laptop.  Does anyone out there have any possible solutions?   I see I am not alone.  --A frustrated first-time Apple products owner.

  • How do we determine if the BW system is running  slow?

    Dear BWers,
    How do we determine if the BW system is running slow? I have a situation where it is taking about 1 hr 30 min to load 700,000 records from the application server with direct mapping and no major transformations. How do i conclude if my BW system is running slow? Is there any documentation on this or benchmarks to analyze this? All and any help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Raj

    The time taken to load depends on a few factors like the following:
    1. network bandwidth
    2. system memory on the application server.
    3. available processes in the application server to start the job
    Make sure to load the master data, activate them and also apply change run before you load the transaction data. If you have secondary indexes, make sure you delete them before laoding data. I will suggest to have sequential load and put all the processes in a process chain. Where ever you can, try to split the package size. But in your case, the no of records is not that much and so you should be fine with one info package.

  • Async tcp client and server. How can I determine that the client or the server is no longer available?

    Hello. I would like to write async tcp client and server. I wrote this code but a have a problem, when I call the disconnect method on client or stop method on server. I can't identify that the client or the server is no longer connected.
    I thought I will get an exception if the client or the server is not available but this is not happening.

    Hi,
    Have you debug these two applications? Does it go into the catch exception block when you close the client or the server?
    According to my test, it will throw an exception when the client or the server is closed, just log the exception message in the catch block and then you'll get it:
    private async void Process()
    try
    while (true)
    var data = await this.Receive();
    this.NewMessage.Invoke(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data));
    catch (Exception exception)
    Console.WriteLine(exception.Message);
    Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing   connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
    By the way, I don't know what the SafeInvoke method is, it may be an extension method, right? I used Invoke instead to test it.

  • Mac shut down due to problem; I rebooted fine. how do I determine what the problem was?

    mac shut down due to problem; I rebooted fine. how do I determine what the problem was?

    When shut down and rebooted, the Mac OS X does background maintenance on the system. That can solve minor issues.
    Beyond this, it is a good idea to run Disk Repair yourself just to make sure.
    Reboot with the option key held down. On the screen that comes up select the Recovery disk icon and Continue.
    On the next screen Clcik Disk Utility and Continue.
    In DU, in the list on the left select the drive to be repaired - click the item that is indented to the right, not an an item whose name starts on the far left.
    Click First Aid, then Repair Disk.
    After that is done, quit DU and restart as usual.

    You CAN run 10.7, but I don't advise it, buy the 10.6.3 upgrade disk from the Apple Store online and then backup files off the machine and upgrade to 10.6.3., then Software Update to 10.6.8 would be the BEST option for your older hardware and it will run most all of your 10.5 software and be faster than 10.5 or 10.7.
    If you go to 10.7 it won't run nearly any of your 10.5 software and you will have to buy all new ones for a machine that's getting a little bit dated, near it's end of life stage. 10.7 will slow your machine down, especially with low RAM.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    At your machines stage, the hard drive is getting old, the vents are clogged up with dust and it's going to cost a bit to get the drive etc upgraded. You can if you wish, but 10.7 really needs more RAM (4GB) and a faster hard drive.
    But your still subjected to the video card going out etc.
    IMO upgrade to 10.6.8 and stay there until the wheels fall off, then buy a new 10.8 machine being released after this summer or 10.9 machine.

  • Why does my airport utility always ask me to connect an ethernet cable when I would like to use the extended network option?

    Why does my airport utility always ask me to connect an ethernet cable when I would like to use the extended network option?

    Please locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. Hard to see.....gray lettering on a white background....so you may likely need a magnifying glass and good lighting to see it.
    The model number starts with a "A" followed by four numbers. If you see A1084 or A1088, unfortunately AirPort Utility 6.x in Mavericks OS X (10.9.4) does not support these older models. However, you can still administer these models if you have a Mac.....or can borrow one for a few minutes....using Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the device.

  • After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home. I have restared the phone and toggled the router, still no connection

    After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home (this is the network I used to update the phone). My iPad however does not seem to have any problem connecting. I have restared the phone, toggled the router, re-entered the network password but there's still no connection.

    When your device is trying to connect to the work Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap on the name of the Netowrk that she is having trouble with. Then tap on forget this network. Let the device attempt to connect again and make absolutely sure she is trying to connect to the work network and not a nearby network, then make absolutely sure the password is entered correctly.
