How to block one of wireless network

Hi there,
I have Airport Extreme with 2 wireless networks, one for my iMac and my wife’s iPad another one is for kids PCs. All of us are connected only wireless.
Question, how shall I block the kids network my configuration, now when I block the Airport (Turn Off Airport) actually it’s only me who cannot use wireless network, all others still can do it. Purpose is to block the kids using the wireless network during the night. Now my solution is to pull out lan cable between Airport and ADSL modem.
I believe there must be smarter way to do it, I just don’t know how. Could you please help,
thanks

Hello!
Your Extreme can set time restrictions on when specific computers can access the network. You can configure them using AirPort Utility:
Open AirPort Utility, select your Extreme in the sidebar, and press "Manual Setup." If you're asked for a password, enter it. Go to the "Access Control" tab and set "MAC Address Access Control" to "Timed Access."
Now you can set up the time restrictions.
To add a computer to the list, press the "+" button. You'll be presented with a dialog that will let you configure the time restrictions. You'll need to enter the device's MAC address. You'll also want to enter a description so that you'll know what device the restriction applies to.
You can double-click the "(default)" entry to set restrictions on computers not on your list. When you're finished, press "Update" and allow your Extreme to restart.

How can I delete a wireless network from my MacBoork Ai

How can I delete a wireless network from my MacBoork Air.
I had set up a WEP Network but I need to set up a WPA (personal) network now and i cant seem to change the WEP network to a WPA2 network.
Thank you for any help you can provide me.
LShaps

The MacBook Air will autodetect WEP and WPA security changes and should allow you to reconnect again. If the password stored in the Mac is wrong, it will ask you to enter it again.
With that said, to forget a network do the following:
- Go to the Apple Menu and select System Preferences
- Click on the Network icon
- Highlight the Airport / WiFi entry (sepending on 10.6 vs 10.7)
- Click the Advanced button at the bottom
- Make sue the Airport / WiFi tab is selected
- Click on the network name you want to forget
- Press the minus button at the bottom of the list.
You may also want to consider restarting if you are having this issue.

How can i access my wireless network?

how can i access my wireless network at home?

Does your iPad see your WiFi network - Settings>WiFi>Tap your network name, enter your password and tap join.
If the iPad isn't seeing the network, try rebooting the router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

I have setup wireless at home but when I travel how do I find another wireless network?

I have setup wireless at home, but when I travel, how do I find another wireless network?

Depends on where you are. Most all hotels/motels have wireless. There are Internet cafes, libraries, Starbucks, and many other places providing WiFi service.
In your iPad's Network settings you will usually find displayed all detected wireless systems. Not all of them may be usable unless they provide free access or you have a paid access membership. You should find this discussed in the user manual:

How do I extend a wireless network from one Airport Express to another?

I have an Airport Express in my living room, wired into my router and it's currently outputting a wifi signal.
I just got another Airport Express, and I've plugged it into my kitchen.
How do I use Airport Extreme Admin Utility to see the other Airport Express (which currently has a solid orange light), and label it as "Kitchen", so that I can have music playing in my kitchen as well?
I really don't want to have to wire an Ethernet cable all the way to the kitchen so that it picks it up, because I don't have room for that sort of hook up on my router.
Is this possible.. and if so.. could someone kindly, please, write me a step by step tutorial as to how to add my "kitchen" to the wireless network.
Thank you.

Try temporarily connecting via Ethernet to the AirPort Express (AX). After you configure the AX you can disconnect the Ethernet connection.

How to connect non-Apple wireless networks?

Hello
Before I start, I know very little about networking, so could do with some assistance please!
In my office, I have a MacPro, fitted with an airport extreme. I also have a TL-WR1043ND Wireless N Gigabit Router, which I have connected to a ReadyNas NV+.
In my house, I use my MacBook Pro connected wirelessly. The internet is accessed via a TP-Link TD-W8961ND 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router.
Both the MacPro and the MacBook Pro connect to the internet cia the TD-W8961ND. The TL-WR1043ND resides on a separate wireless network. The idea is that I can access and store data wirelessly using the ReadyNas (which incidentally has become an issue since upgrading to Lion).
The NAS needs to be kept in my office so it is secure and there is no direct telephone link to the office.
Cutting a long story short, I'd like to make the two networks into one, so I was wondering if I could use the TL-WR1043ND as some sort of wireless access point (connected to the NAS) and joining it to the wireless network of the W8961 ADSL2 router.
I don't know how to do this, so was wondering if somebody could help and perhaps guide me through some of the settings? I've searched the interweb abyss, without any joy.
All the best
Hoffmeister

As you can imagine, this forum is primarily for assistance with Apple networking so it may be a bit difficult to really be able to provide you with a step-by-step on how to configure both of these routers for Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
I did a bit of research and found the following TP-Link Support article that describes how to do this with a pair of their TD-W8960N routers and it may be worth reviewing to see if it can help you with yours.

How Do I Setup a Wireless Network in my home for 3 Mac's and 2 PC's

Ok..... I live with 5 people and we all have computers. I'm looking to setup a Wireless Network in our house that would allow all of us to access the Internet from our various rooms. Currently we have 3 MAC (a G5 Desktop, a regular Desktop, and a Powergook G4 with airport extreme), and 2 Window's based PC Laptops. So far everyone is using DSL, with the exception of myself. I sit in the back yard accessing the neighbors wireless network. That ***** and I feel like I'm stealing.
How would I go about setting up a Wireless network for all of these computers, and what equipment would I need to accomplish this?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

First thing you need is a wireless router. You mentioned Airport Extreme---not sure if you are speaking about the card in the PB, or an actual router. Bottom line is that you need a wireless router. Airports will work with Windows, and Netgear is another good option as they are Mac friendly. Then, any computers that don't have wireless card will need to have one--unless you connect them directly with an ethernet cable. Get the IP addresses of all of the computers on the network. In Windows, go to Start-My Network Places-View Network Connections, then highlight the LAN that is displayed. With it highlighted, go to the "details" window and open the drop down menu if it is not open already. Write down the IP address. Then, go to the Macs you have, click on Finder--Go--Connect to server. Type in the IP address with smb:// in front and / at the end--will look something like this smb://192.xxx.x.xx/ Then select connect. Make sure you know the username and passwords of the computers as it will ask for these. To share the files from the Mac to the Windows, just follow these directions: You can set up your Mac so that you can share files with Windows computer users.
To allow Windows users to connect to your computer, you need to turn on Windows Sharing. When you turn on Windows Sharing, Mac OS X uses the Samba server software to provide SMB/CIFS file services.
You also need to give the Windows users the network address of your computer, and a user name and password of a user account on your computer.
Open System Preferences and click Sharing and, if necessary, click Services.
Select Windows Sharing in the list, then click Start.
Click Accounts and select the name of the user account that will share files. Enter the password for that user.
Look below the services list for your computer's network address. Give this address to Windows users.
You can provide users with the user name and password of any account on your computer. To help keep your computer secure, you may want to create a special account for Windows users in Accounts preferences.
Because passwords of the user accounts for Windows are stored insecurely, turn off the account when it is not being used. Before you turn off Windows Sharing, turn off all the accounts you enabled. Otherwise, the passwords are still stored insecurely.
If you want to use a user account that existed before you installed Mac OS X Panther, you may need to reset the password for the account using Accounts preferences.
Any of this info can also be found in the help files in the Finder. Hope this helps.

How can I extend a wireless network with my AirPort Extreme Base Station?

Today I purchased a brand new, dual-band base station to replace my Belkin N router, as I have had a handful of firewall, coverage, and other networking problems in my house lately. First off, I really like this router and it was very easy to setup. My MacBook Pro could use both bands and established a 300 Mbit/s link very quickly. After tweaking various settings to my liking, I was also able to maximize the connections on many of my non-Apple machines and devices. I noticed that the range of its network was better than my Belkin's, but unfortunately, it failed to completely saturate the area sufficiently. Since the Belkin still works well enough, I was hoping I could bridge them together one way or the other.
The Belkin router does not support any bridge mode that I know of, but the AirPort Extreme should be able to join a wireless network and then extend that over WiFi and Ethernet, correct? I would like to place them at opposite ends of my home so I can get strong WiFi signals everywhere inside. However, when I try to get the base station to connect to my preexisting WiFi connection, it tells me that I can't extend the network and fails to join.
So is this possible? And if it is, how would I go about setting it up? I know it would probably be easier if I had a simple range booster such as an AirPort Express, but I didn't buy one while I was at Fry's since I hoped I could make use of the older Belkin. This is its product page, if needed. Thanks for any suggestions.

Sorry, but no. The AirPort Extreme Base Station cannot "join" a network like the AirPort Express or Time Capsule, but you wouldn't want to do this anyway because in this configuration these devices will only perform as wireless clients ... not routers.
Instead, the AirPort Extreme can either be extended or can extend another 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort ... or a very very few non-AirPort devices.
One option for your Belkin would be to connect it to the AirPort Extreme by Ethernet but this may not meet your requirements or be a desirable situation. Otherwise, you would need to get another AirPort to extend your current one.

How to add a second wireless network in my house..

Hello,
I have Verizon FIOS with the supplied Actiontec wireless modem/router M1424WR. This current setup works perfectly and has since I got it about 5 months ago.
Note that all of my computers connect wirelessly.
Here is what I would like to do and why:
I have some weak reception spots upstairs (the Actiontec is located downstairs). I want to run cat5 from the Actiontec to an upstairs location and plug it into a WRT54G I just bought for this purpose. I want to have this upstairs WRT54G have it's own SSID so that I have two separate networks. I have no need for devices on the two networks to be able to communicate with each other.
There is another reason I think I need the separate network; the Actiontec M1424WR has a known problem connecting with Xbox 360 wireless adapters. It can not connect to them with the current firmware. They are working on correcting it, but it may be a while and by installing an Xbox compatible wireless router (the WRT54G) upstairs, I am fixing two problems at once, the Xbox issue and the weak signal areas.
I am not too experienced in this stuff, and it is my guess that extending my wireless network upstairs with the same SSID as the downstairs router would not work because the Xbox adapters can't connect to the downstairs located Actiontec.
If anyone can tell me if my plan will work and tell me how to configure the router settings, it would be much appreciated. I am familiar with accessing and changing the router settings, I just don't know what settings to use!
I am willing to change gears and buy something different if necessary.
Thank you,
Alan
Edit: I know that I could use other wireless adapters on the Xboxes, but I really like the units made specifically for the 360's and want to stick with them.
Another thought I had was to buy another WRT54G and place it next to the Actiontec downstairs and set up a roaming network using just the two WRT54G's. This way the Xboxes could connect throughout the network range. Again, I just don't know how to configure the devices.

It all works, and quite well at that. I decided on the WRT54G to be wired to the M1424WR downstairs. I bought a WAP54G and cabled it up to the M1424WR as well. The WAP went into an upstairs closet.
My laptop and PC's worked perfectly. I checked former dead spots and they were gone. I unplugged the WRT and the WAP one at a time and sure enough, the computers stayed connected.
I struggled with the "Moderate NAT" problem for quite a while. The trick to get the "Open NAT" out of the M1424WR is to check the "Allow Other Network Users to Control Wireless Broadband Router's Network Features" box.
Our two 360's connect to Xbox live perfectly, every time. We played "system link" connected H3 through the home network; my son in one room and me in another. He played H3 on Xbox Live a lot.
We can not even see a perceptible difference in Halo3 performance on our new and improved wireless roaming network vs. wired. I get all green bars in every room in the house. I didn't even know about the ability for the 360 to access a PC on your network. I was playing music on my upstairs TV from my downstairs PC.
Needless to say, it all works thanks to your help, gv!
I do have one more question; since the M1424WR regretably must remain my main router due to it's proprietary television functions, I have to use it's webpage to check connection status, etc. Why does everything connected on my network show up there except the WAP54G? Wireless devices connecting through the WAP54G do show up, just not the WAP. The WRT does show up.
Thank you,
Alan

How can I expand my wireless network with a Time Capsule and Airport Express?

My entire house is wired for ethernet access (2 floors). I have a Time Capsule on the 2nd floor that reaches the entire house except for one room.
In this one room I have an ethernet port plugged into an Airport Express.
The problem I encounter is that I have two separate wifi networks with two separate names. I realize I can extend the wireless network on the 2nd floor to the 1st floor but I can only do this wirelessly to my knowledge, and the entire problem is that the signal doesn't reach the front room. Also, there is really no place in-between that the AE can be placed to extend the reach. The building is concrete and steel, I think that has a lot to do with the problem.
My question is: Can I have two wireless routers (connected to the same home network via ethernet) broadcast the same wifi network? I also have a SONOS system that further complicates things, I'm afraid. Would it help if I drew some sort of diagram?
Thanks!

Your network is not working as you describe.. or I have misunderstood the layout..
What is the broadband type? Modem is where? What is the main router?
From your screen shots the main router is the airport express that covers one room which seems wrong.
Why isn't the TC the main router? or both bridged.. if you go back and look at the apple document.. one or both apple routers are in bridge mode..
You are having issues with setup .. half of which is caused by v6 airport utility.
What OS are you running? Please install 5.6 utility.. do it.. do it now!!
Easy for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Messy but possible for ML.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

Blocking a particular wireless network?

I'd like to prevent Airport from seeing or connecting to a particular wireless network - is that possible? If so, how?
I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X, version 10.4.11.
Thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Hi ghuggins, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I don't think you can block it showing up, but you can stop it connecting to it.
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select that access point.
Remove that access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete that access point keychain entry if it exists.
Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point, if not there. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.

How can we put our wireless networks on a schedule

We have two 5508s in a boarding school environment and about 5 wireless networks. Administration wants to know how can we shut down the student networks @ 11:30pm and then have them come on @ 6:00am. Othern than doing it manually is there another way?

create a time based ACL and apply it on the switch that is connecting to the AP. Keep the following in mind, LWAPP is UDP, the Data is 12222 and LWAPP Control is 12223.
With ACL block the data path but keep the control path up so AP(s) keep joined to the wlc.

How do I create a wireless network using iMac as base station

How do I set up a wireless network using my iMac as the Base Station and boosting the signal through an Airport Extreme?
Physical connection would be DSL Modem> (ethernet) iMac >(wireless) Airport Extreme (as a wireless router for other Apple products i.e. TV, iPhone, etc.)

How do I set up a wireless network using my iMac as the Base Station and boosting the signal through an Airport Extreme?
Unfortunately, the wireless network that is setup from the iMac cannot be "extended".
Your setup will need to include two Apple routers and look like this:
                                                     > Ethernet to Imac
DSL Modem > Main Apple Router    >>>Wireless to nearby wireless devices
                                                     >>> Wireless to Extending Apple router
You may also connect the iMac to one of the Ethernet ports on the Extending Apple router if you wish
