How do I find the valid IP address for the base station?

I am trying to install he Airport Extreme but I am receiving this message:  The wi-fi base station does not have a valid IP address. How do I find the valid IP address for the base station?

I have run an ethernet cable from the modem to my Mac and I do have internet connection. But when I connect that ethernet to the TC and run Airport Utility to set it up I get the error about no valid IP address.
This tells us that the modem has associated with your computer. The modem "remembers" the settings for your computer and "looks" for it when you connect the TC. It does not "see" the computer, so it does not associate with the TC.
The modem needs to be reset so that it will not remember the computer. Then it will associate with the next device that connects.
Look for a reset button on the modem, and if present, push it for a second or two. Then power off the modem and leave it off for at least 30 minutes. Power off everything else as well.
After the wait period, power up the modem and let it run for 4-5 minutes by itself. Then power up the TC and let it run a few minutes. Power up each other device one at a time about a minute apart.
Check to see if the modem is now associating with the TC so that the TC will get a valid IP address.

  • Trying to set up Directv GenieGO using Airport Extreme.  Getting error message: DHCP range entered conflicts with the WAN IP Address of your base station.  How do I resolve the conflict.

    Trying to configure an Airport Extreme manually.  After I enter the IP Address of the GenieGo along with the rest of information required I am getting the following error message when I click update:
    DHCP range entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your base station. 
    How do I resolve the conflict? 

    You cannot use the same range on LAN and WAN if you are routing.. it must be different.. and you should not be routing at all.
    The AE should be in bridge mode. NO DHCP settings at all.

    What is the default ip address for the Time Capsule and Airport Extreme?

  • How do I get a valid IP address for airport express?

    I am trying to set up my airport express.  All the steps work fine except for when I get to the end it says I need a valid IP address for airport.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm not sure what you're trying to set up here? Are you trying to set up the AX to provide wireless access to the internet, or to extend an existing network?????

  • How do I obtain a valid ip address for my airport extreme?

    When setting up my airport extreme, the ip address it always attempts to ue begins with 169.  i know this is not a valid ip address; I shoud have 1 that begins with 174.  How do I resolve this?

    Thanks for the info. I am not familiar with this model, so will need to read up a bit.
    Just to confirm......does this appear to be your "modem"?

    If yes, you might be interested to learn that it is a modem/router....also known as a gateway device.....quite different from a simple modem.....so the requirement to connect will be different from a simple modem.

  • How can i find printer e-mail address for e-print

    I have the 8500A premium Officejet Pro  Its taking forever to register e-print  How do I get printers email address to e-print

    Occasionally the server runs slow.  If you're still having problems getting your printers email address try the following:
    1) Turn OFF the wireless radio
    2) Perform Restore Network defaults from the printer menu
    3) Turn OFF the printer and unplug the power cable from the back. Wait for 5 min
    4) Reconnect the power cable and turn ON the printer
    5) Run the wireless setup wizard from the printer menu.
    6) check if you are able to print and scan
    7) "Remove Web Services" from the printer menu and wait for 2 minutes
    8) "Enable Web Services" from the menu and wait.

  • How can I find out my data usage for the past 3 months?

    Greetings all, I have been a long time Verizon customer, and as such I, along with my husband, was grandfathered into the unlimited data plan. When I last spoke to a representative, they informed me that the only way we were going to be able to keep our unlimited data was by paying the full retail price ($600+) to get a new phone. So we were considering upgrading and changing to one of the newer data plans so we could still get the discounted price on the new phone, but I would like to make sure I choose one with enough data, without paying for a bunch of data that I don't use, however MyVerizon only shows me the amount I have used since the start of the billing cycle. Is there a way to find out the data usage for both my husband and myself for the last 3 months so I can choose the right option?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

        Hello sweetpea1221! How exciting that you're considering upgrading with us. mrhelper is helpful, indeed. You can view your data usage for each line under the View Bill option via your My Verizon account. You can also view your 3 month average  data usage with our Account Analysis feature. Here's a link that will be helpful in doing so http://bit.ly/vnLjqO. I'm confident that we have a great plan to match your data needs. Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • HT204053 my new phone has the wrong email address for the icloud, how can I fix that, also, it will not let me link to wifi

    I went to link my new phone to  get the music I bought, and now the  icloud is stating I have the wrong email address and I can not link to wifi now, help!

    Then change your Apple ID back to the old ID, then delete the account. Once done, change your ID to your new one.

  • If I create a new Apple ID, will my mail automatically change to the new email address For the new id?

    Also will the apps that I have not bought with my money from App Store but just downloaded, can I still upgrade them? And what about if I have some music  and apps which were not brought from my iPhone 5c which I am currently using, but from my old iPhone 3GS from another Apple ID , will they be transferred again like they did before onto my 5c?
    Thanks

    I set up FaceTime and Messages on four different devices with only one Apple ID. I used the exact method that is described in the video that AnaMusic has provided to you in the link in her response above.  That method worked fine for my family, but you can create new Apple ID's just to use for FaceTime and Messages if you like. Many users prefer doing that as opposed to adding new email addresses.
    IMO - using unique email addresses (like in the video) makes sense, because we (my family) all have different email addresses anyway, and it was very simple to add each family members email address to both apps and remove my Apple ID email address as the contact address on each device.
    BTW .... if you are using your Apple ID on both devices - your phone number should be the number that is showing in the settings - not you daughter's. Did you set up the Apps with your Apple ID?

    From the printer Front panel, navigate to Setup. Locate and enter Web Services. Aprove any of the steps to enable the service... allow the device several minutes to complete the registration, a page will print automatically with the printer code and the directions to select the email address from hpeprint.com.
