How do I know which AirPort base station I am connected to?

I have an AirPort network which consists of a Time Capsule and 2 AirPort Expresses connected in 'extended' mode. I want to test each of the AirPort Express units to ensure that they are doing what they should be (i.e. extending my network). However, I can't figure out how to determine which base station I'm actually connected to at any given moment. When I look at the AirPort status in the menu bar or at Network Preferences it simply tells me the name of the network that I'm connected to but not the specific AirPort unit. Is there any way to see this information?
For all I know, I could be connected to the Time Capsule no matter when in my home I'm located.
Cheers,
Barry

OK, let's recheck some settings as you definitely should not be picking up a wireless signal from the TC if you have an Express much closer to the computer.
Using AirPort Utility here, click your TC and click Manual Setup.
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode should be set to "Create a wireless network"
There must be a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update to save any changes.
On each Express, using Manual Setup again.
Wireless Mode set to "Extend a wireless network"
The network name that the TC is creating should be displayed
There must be a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
Please check your settings to verify. Then start with only one Express device and put it in a another room not too far away from the TC. Power it up and keep your laptop close to the Express. Using the "option" click on the Airport icon, test to see if you see the MAC address of the Express. Any luck? If yes, then power down the first Express and test the second the same way, etc.
The "extend" a wireless network feature works like the hub and spoke of a wheel. The main router is the hub and Express devices are at the ends of the spokes. Each Express communicates directly with the TC. There are no "relays" or "in between" devices. If the TC is at one end of the house, you may find that you get better results using fewer Expresses. It will take some experimenting to get the best location for each Express, etc.

  • Controlling which WDS base station a machine connects to... how?

    I'm trying to isolate a problem I've got with a simple WDS configuration. Configuration is:
    Airport Extreme (n) Fast Ethernet - main WDS
    Airport Extreme (Snow) - relay
    Airport Express - remote
    Due to configuration, machines that connect to the Express can also 'just see' the other two machines. One of them (a CoreDuo iMac) is reporting very poor Airport signal strength - even when the Airport Express is plugged in within 2 feet of the machine. We think that it is connecting to one of the other base stations - but can't work out how to find out if this is so, and if so how to stop it.
    The iMac has recently returned from Applecare having had a new screen installed - is it possible that the airport antenna could have been disconnected as part of this? This might explain problem - but again I can't work out how to test this.
    Suggestions anyone?

    Airport Extreme (Snow) - relay
    I know that you mean round AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) but I want to clarify something.
    There is not a snow AEBS. Referring to it that way is confusing because there IS an 802.11b Dual-Ethenret (aka "snow") AirPort base station (ABS). The snow ABS does not do WDS and does not have a USB port.
    The iMac has recently returned from Applecare having had a new screen installed - is it possible that the airport antenna could have been disconnected as part of this?
    Quite possibly.
    There isn't any way to control which base station it connects to BUT you can see which one it is connected to. If the iMac is running OS 10.5, hold down the OPTION key while selecting the network name on the AirPort menu. You will see the MAC address of the base station which the iMac is connected to.

  • How can i use an airport base station and multiple airport expresses with U-verse and still use wireless tv boxes?

    I just got uverse, and when I put my Airport Base Station in Bridge mode I lose access to the 4 airport express stations I have. Can anyone tell me how to turn off the u-verse wireless, set up a network with all the apple stations and still have wireless u-verse tv boxes work? Thanks!

    Can I relocate the airport base station to downstairs and connect it to the Sawtooth there for receiving wireless from the Verizon router and broadcast further to its wireless network?
    Sorry but no the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will not wirelessly connect to the network provided by the Verizon FiOS router.
    What you could do is get another AEBS, an AX, or a Time Capsule and place that downstairs. Then use that device to wirelessly connect to the wireless network provided by your current AEBS. If your current AEBS is not 802.11n capable then you would need to use WDS to make this happen. One bad thing about WDS is that each WDS link cuts your affective wireless bandwidth in half.

  • How do I know which airport card to purchase for ibook 14.1 LCD 900 MHz

    I just bought a used ibook for my son and he wants to connect to our home wireless network. I can't tell if I need an Airport card or an Airport Extreme card. Do I need the Airport base station or will the card enable it to connect to any wireless network/hotspot?
    We have 3 desktops and been faithful Mac users since the the very first one but I've never had so much trouble even trying to figure out what model this laptop is!

    I just bought a used ibook for my son and he wants to connect to our home wireless network. I can't tell if I need an Airport card or an Airport Extreme card.
    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu; if the computer has a G3 processor, it takes the AirPort card, while an iBook G4 takes the AirPort Extreme card.
    Do I need the Airport base station or will the card enable it to connect to any wireless network/hotspot?
    You can use any base station which supports the 802.11b or 802.11g protocols. An AirPort card cannot use 802.11g.

  • How can I configure my AirPort base station to allow DCC sends?

    It seems you cannot initiate a dcc send from behind an Airport. This is because you intially send a message to the computer you want to the send the file to saying 'here's what you want, come and get it.' Your computer then listens for a reply from the target machine. Now the Airport (I am guessing) doesn't know you're waiting, you just sit quetly waiting for a response. However the response does not seem to get past the Airport. That must be because when I try to initiate the dcc send the base station modifes the source address in the data to it's external ip. So what I get is the target machine trying to ask the basestation to send the file rather than my machine.
    How do I get around this?

    You will need to map the appropriate port through the base station to your Mac. See How do I use Port Mapping (Part I).

  • How to configure correctly the Airport Base Station to work with windows PC?

    Hi Friends...
    I am having MacBook Air and Windows PCs with XP & Windows7.
    In MacBook I can use the internet through Airport Extreme Base Station.
    But In windows PCs I am unable to use. It is not getting the IP. And I am unable to configure DHCP also.
    Please help me out in this or let me know where i can get step by step instructions.
    Regards,
    Prakash

    If you temporarily disable wireless security on the AirPort, can both PCs now get their proper IP address information from the DHCP server in the base station?

  • Which airport base station?

    Do I want for ibookg4 running OS X 3.9? Very confusing. Have dsl. Can I get by with original Airport Base or do I need Extreme , etc? Have working airport card installed in machine. Thanks.

    Well the only problem I see is that my linksys wrt54g doesn't work worth a darn. I consider it junk. As I am sure a lot of other people who bought one. It worked when I had it w/cable so machine #2 could get a signal, but in the last week I messed with it a lot and can not get it to pull down a page from my ibook. Sees it and it's strong, but will never load a page. Now I am willing to spend no money if someone can tell me how to get the junk wrt54g to work. Got close w/ this link:
    http://garrickvanburen.com/archive/how-to-set-up-a-linksys-router-with-mac-os-x
    And besides, Cisco/Linksys has a poor attitude when they will make, what presumably is a mac compatible item, yet offer no support. So thats why the question of Airport, one model or another.

  • How to ad clients to airport base station

    How can I add somebody who wants internet access on my airport extreme?

    Have them locate the setting on their device to search for a wireless network. Once they have identified the name of your wireless network, you will need to give them the password to allow them to connect.
    If they have an Apple device, we can probably provide a bit more information about this, if needed. Post back with the name and model number of the device.
    If they are trying to connect a non-Apple product....and need more information....then they should contact product support at the manufacturer of their device.

  • HT3728 I cannot find the Airport base station

    I have lost the connection to the Airport Base station and do not know how to get it back. I have internet through another modem, but need to reset everything back to using the Airport Base station 1TB to connect to the internet and to see my backup files and all my media. I am using a MacBook Air 13" 2012 model. Please can someone assist.

    Do a reset on the base station. It will return to default settings and you will then be able to pick it up..
    If you had it setup to join a wireless network then it will disappear. Don't use it that way.. Run it bridge or in router mode.
    I have to suggest if you have nothing but the air.. do go and get the USB to ethernet dongle.. it is not that expensive.. IMHO access a wireless device by wireless to fix wireless settings, is like the cartoons where the person is sitting on the tree branch sawing it off. When you change the wireless settings you then lose connection.. it is much better using ethernet.

  • Do I need an 'apple airport base station' to use the internet on my macbook?

    I'm considering getting a refurbished Macbook Air next week, which will be my first Mac computer ever, and I was watching some of the introduction videos.
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#wirelessbasics
    'Wireless Basics' - At about 0:55 seconds in, it says something about needing what sounds like an 'apple airport base station' to connect my Macbook to the internet here in my home. I currently have an HP laptop that easily connects to our Wi-Fi. I actually need some additional 'apple airport base station' thing to connect to the internet? I can't just connect like our Wi-Fi PC laptops do? Tell me I'm hearing this wrong, because I can't afford some additional 'base station' on top of an expensive Macbook, refurbished or not.

    Any WiFI basestation should work but there are two caveats. First, configuring non-Apple basestations is more confusing for newbs than the AirPort is. Second, upgrading firmware can be a real pain for some 3rd party bases - they don't tend to let users know the updates exist and many require a PC to install.

  • Which Airport base is compatible with PPC G4 / 10.3.9?

    Hello - After having good luck for awhile then much bad luck using a Belkin setup, I'm going to switch to Apple gear. HERE'S MY QUESTION: I will be physically connecting the "base station" to my cable modem and my PPC G4 dual 500 running OS X 10.3.9, and then, more importantly, using an Airport
    Express to connect to my G5 dual 2 gig which has an AirPort card already. Which AirPort "base station" should I buy THAT WILL WORK WITH 10.3.9? (I'm pretty sure I just saw, on the Apple website, that the new AirPort Extreme Base Station requires 10.4.4, so I'm a little wary about buying the newest one.) I would so greatly appreciate anyone who has a good answer about this. Thank you very much.

    Nick, either of the Airport Base Stations will work.
    The Airport Express and the Airport Extreme Base Stations will work with the Slower 802.11b compliant (SLOWER) and the 802.11g (FASTER) connections.
    In other words if you have an older Mac with OS9 or you have a newer computer with OSX 10.4 The Airport Routers will work.

  • Hi, Some one hacked into my AirPort Base Station, which initially I had not secured with password. Now they took control by adding their own password. How can I regain ownership back?

    Hi there,
    I have an intruder into my AirPort Base Station wireless connection. The Station initially I did did not protect it with a Password, so the intruder branded it a name and put on a password. Is there any way I can deactivate the intruder's password and regain ownership?
    Thanks for your answers in advance.

    Some one hacked into my AirPort Base Station.....
    No, they did not have to "hack" into your AirPort at all.  Since the door to your wireless network was wide open, they simply walked right in.
    Is there any way I can deactivate the intruder's password and regain ownership?
    Hold the reset button on the back of the AirPort in for 9-10 seconds, and then release. Allow a full minute tor the AirPort to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    The AirPort is back to new, out of the box settings. You can can now reconfigure it again......hopefully this time with a password.

  • How to make sure I'm the only one who can manage my airport base station using airport utility?

    I know we have to use the Airport Utility application to manage the Airport base station in order to create a new network, creating the SSID and chosing the encryption mode and setting the password but how I could be sure I'm the only one who have access to those settings? A user of my network can install the Airport Utility application and change those settings. With other routers like D-Link, to have access to the settings you need to know the admin password to modify the settings. I can't figure out how we can do this with Airport Extreme base station. It's maybe obvious but I'm in the cloud for the moment.

    You can set a base station administrator password in order to limit who can administer the base station. With AirPort Utility v6.x, you can set this password on the Base Station tab.

  • How to know which airport card?

    Hi, I have an iBook G4 with the small display; an acquiantance has the same laptop and she can use the wireless internet at our house no problem. Now I know I don't need a base station to be able to log into wireless but I don't know which airport card I should get; express, extreme etc ... any clues?
    thanks

    Rubens, Welcome to the discussion area!
    That's easy! Every iBook G4 (without built-in wireless) uses the AirPort Extreme card.

  • How can I make my iPhone wifi forget my neighbor's Airport Base Station?

    I do know how to make my iPhone's wifi "forget" a Network (like, say, a neighbor's wireless router).
    However, my iPhone keeps defaulting to a neighbor's "Airport Extreme" Airport Base Station. When it does this, of course I have no connectivity. Then, I have to go in and manually choose my own apartment's wireless router. It's a pain.
    I cannot find any way to make my iPhone forget or ignore this neighbor's Airport Base Station. Is there a way?
    iPhone 4S.
    Thanks very much for any replies,
    Brooke

    That seems to have done it, adviser. Thanks.
    I reset the network settings, and also made sure that "ask to join networks" is set to "On."
    When it started up, I turned on the iPhone's wifi, and chose my own apartment router (and entered its password).
    I then went to the farthest corner of the apartment away from our own router, where the signal is weakest, and turned wireless off and then on again. Even though my own router's signal was very weak, the iPhone still chose that router by default.
    If the problem comes up again, I'll submit the question again with the information that I have tried this step. For now, though, it looks good. Thanks!
