How to allow access to my airport extreme network for more than one wirelss device at the same time

I received a Kobo Vox ereader for Christmas and have not been able to connect to my home wireless network. It works with unsecured networks and I tested it out at an Apple reseller with their airport extreme netwok and it connects fine.
It seems as if I cannot have more than one wireless device connected to my home netork at the same time.
So here is what I did to test this out:
- I powered off the Kobo vox
- I shut down my macbook
- I turned off the modem and unplugged the power cord and removed the cable connection from the modem.
-  I also unplugged the airport extreme router.
- I waited for about 15 minutes and then set it all up again and turned on the power to the router and the modem
- I turned on the kobo  vox (I left my laptop shut down)
- my kobo vox was able to connected to the internet.
- I powered up my laptop and it couldn't connect to the internet.
So, I went through the above steps again and powered up my laptop first and was able to connect to the internet. I then turned on my Kobo and was not able to connect.
It seems as if I can only have one device connected to my wireless network at one time and that device is the first one to be powered on and connected to the internet.
Am I missing some network or airport extreme settings...
thanks

    You'll need to see if there's an app in the App Store that does what you want. Search for "Group SMS" or similar.

  • Airport Extreme N connect to N and G laptop at the same time?

    I'm considering of getting the new airport extreme as one of my new mac book pro is N compatible. But my older one is only G.
    I know the base station can connect to both N and G. But if there are one G only computer in the net work does the base station has to be always on G ? and compromised its full potential of running in N mode? Or can it be at N and G mode simultaneously, allowing the new laptop to connect at N speed and older one at G speed at the same time?
    Thanks for your help !

    This is exactly my question. I have an Apple G base station, a PowerBook and and AX. I'd like to use those in G and run the rest in N.
    Here's what I have: AEBS G, AX, G4 Tower with edimax N card, iMac Aluminum N, Powerbook G and HP AIO G. I want to buy an AEBS N and not have it slow down due to the G, but still run the G devices.
    Based on what I read, I can ethernet my AX to the Extreme N? But that will put it too far away from my stereo. So I have a white G extreme base station, Can I ethernet that to run the G network and use my AX wirelessly as an extender to also hook into the stereo?
    The Edimax PCI N card from OWC for my G4 is not yet installed. I am not 100% positive but I don't think it is 5 GHz. Is that an issue for max thruput? Are there 5 GHz cards made, or do I just suck it up? Does it make much of a difference in speed?
    Would I be better off ethernetting the G4?
    Finally, re the HP wireless AIO, G speed. Will the N network devices be able to print on it if it is connected by a separate G network?
    I use my network as a client-server setup, so the increase in thruput would be welcome but not essential.
    Thanks--hopefully this is not too confusing.

    They are a few different models of the MacBook Pro ranging from 15.4" i7's to 17" i7's. I would use the same models together though when imaging them just like I do with PC's. For example I would Ghost 5 Lenovo T420 Thinkpads at the same time which all share the same exact specs and config. Looking to do the same with the MBP. I have .dmg image of OSX 10.8.1 on a firewire drive which I'm using. I image all my MBP's with this drive, the only downside is I have to do each MBP one at a time.
    Thanks

  • Airport extreme cannot connect more than one computer

    Hi,
    I just got a new cable internet connection but have major problems with my airport extreme. I can be online via airport but I can not connect any other devices wirelessly (including other laptops).
    The connection works only when 'distribute a range of IP addresses' is selected in airport utility. Choosing 'share a public IP address' results in no internet access whatsoever. I tried soft- and hardresetting the base station with no luck.
    Any ideas?

    It sounds like your cable modem needs to be reset.
    Most cable modems require that you power them off/on whenever you switch the Ethernet connection from one device to another. When the cable modem is powered on, it finds the new device and talks to it.
    Some cable modems have a button on the back to do the reset. Some cable modems have an internal battery which must be removed to do the reset. Some cable modems must be off overnight (or at least several hours) so that equipment back at the ISP can be reset.
    "Share a public IP address" is the setting that you want to use.

  • HT1206 I just purchased a second ipad, can I have more than one itune account on the same computer? If so how do I set that up?

    I just purchased my second ipad and I want to have it under a different apple id. I want to keep it more streamlined for things that I really use and not filled up with a lot of games, pictures and so on. I don't know how to go about setting the itunes account up. So can anyone out there help me with this.
    thanks,
    kathy

    I would advise that you not set up a second Apple ID. It's really not necessary - having two Apple IDs won't affect how iTunes works with your iPads - and will just complicate matters. Each iPad will be treated independently and can be set to sync only the items you want on that particular iPad. If you really want to keep the two iPads separate, set up different iTunes libraries and have only those items you want on the related iPad in that library, rather than a different Apple ID. If you plan not to use a computer and just download directly to the iPads, you can again choose what apps and content each iPad gets.
    But answering your specific question, you can have content from up to five iTunes Store accounts on any one computer or iPad. To create a new iTunes Store account, you'll need a different email address, and from there you just create the account the same way you did the first one.
    Regards.

  • How to active more than one front panel in the same application ?

    Hello,
    I want to active several front panels in the same application. I am a recent labview's user and it's difficult to solve this question.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards

    But, each VI, including each subVI has a front panel. If you want several front panels, that implies using several VIs. The top level VI will call the appropriate subVI. Each subVI that you need as a UI can be set to 'Show front panel when called' and 'close afterwards if originally closed'. These settings can be accessed through popping up on the VI's icon and selecting VI Properties..., then selecting Window Appearance, then selecting the customize button or the dialog radio button.
    Hope that this helps,

  • How to implement more than one physical models from the same model

    Hello,
    We have designed a relational model for our application and now, we would like to implement it for our 4 environments: Development, Test, User-Test and Real. Each one has the same logical schema but, different physical clauses (i.e.: in development environment we will not use partitioning clauses).
    Is this possible?
    Thank you,
    Bernat Fabregat

    Hello Bernat,
    yes it's possible:
    1) open your design and go to Tools>"RDBMS site administration"
    2) add your sites there (Current design) - Development, Test, User-Test and Real; press ok when finish
    3) go to "Physical models" node in browser and use "new" from pop-up menu - your sites will appear in list
    4) after you set physical objects in one model (need to save it as well)l, you can clone those objects in other models - you can clone from lower or the same database version
    You can consider usage of "name substitution" functionality during DDL generation if objects should have different name (prefix) in different environment - in this there will be no need to change the name of objects in models.

    Can you clarify which version of the AirPort Extreme that you have now along with the model that you plan to use as the second device?
    The older "round" AirPort Exteme or the newer "square" version with rounded corners?
    Are you planning to extend using wireless only.....or by connecting the AirPort Extremes using a wired Ethernet connection?

    Hi,
    I would recommend you to use 0FI_AP_4 rather using both, particularly for many reasons -
    1. DS: 0FI_AP_4  replaces DataSource 0FI_AP_3 and still uses the same extraction structure. For more details refer to the OSS note 410797.
    2. You can run the 0FI_AP_4 independent of any other FI datasources like 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_GL_4 or even 0FI_GL_14. For more details refer to the OSS note: 551044.
    3. Map the 0FI_AP_4 to DSO: 0FIAP_O03 (or create a Z one as per your requirement).
    4. Load the same to a InfoCube (0FIAP_C03).
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Our airport extreme network works fine with our 6 devices. But when someone comes over and tries to log on, they can't until we restart the airport.  Then they can get on, but it knocks one of our devices off the network.  Any ideas?

    I have not done a factory reset, I was trying to find out if I had some setting configured wrong first.  I figured I'd just make things worse if went through a reset!
