How to connect to "lost" Airport...?

I got all the Apple stuff myself and I'm good at maintaining them... Thats why I got this Apple Airport Express from some friends who is having some problems with it. A kid were hitting it with a toy and now it's blinking green. There i no connection...!? I took it home to see if I could fix it, but so far NO luck. Can any of you guys/girls help me?

Thank you for your reply.
Factory reset was already tried several times, but it keeps blinking green.
Question: Can I update the firmware by connecting it to the macbook with a ethernet cable or a "usb - usb" cable? I tried with the ethernet cable, but it does not show on the macbook anywere.
Or: chould I throw it out now??

  • How to connect to dsl airport extreme with built in modem

    Hello everybody,
    while we were tiding our cellar, i found an old airport extreme (a1034) with a built in modem, but i aint able to connect to my isp.
    I looked throug the manual, but i didnt got answers there (maybe because of my poor english) . Is there a tutorial out there which tells me
    how to connect to my isp?
    Regards Floh
    PS: again sorry for my poor english

    If you try to set up the new AirPort Extreme with AirPort Utility 5.6.1, you will receive a notice that you need a more up to date version of AirPort Utility.
    Nevertheless, AP 5.6.1 will allow you to set up the basics....wireless network name, password, etc.
    It will appear that you can change other settings that are not found in more recent versions of AirPort Utility, but if you go in and check using a newer version of AirPort Utility, you will find that the settings that you thought you had made have not "stuck".
    For example, you want to change the Radio Mode on the new Extreme and not use the Automatic setting. AP 5.6.1 will appear to let you do this. But, if you check the setting using a more recent version of AirPort Utility you will see that the setting is still set at "Automatic".
    So, the bottom line here is that unless the newer version of AirPort Utility has the specific setting that you want to change, you will not be able to make that change.
    Is there ANY chance, to set up my new "towers" with more
    options, than the current Airport Utilities do offer?
    Unfortunately, no.

  • How to connect Xbox to Airport Express

    I currently have the Xbox connect to the Airport Express (ethernet).
    The cable modem is connect to the Airport Extreme in another room.
    The internet is WPA protect.
    The Airport Extreme is password protected.
    Is this a possible set up? Also, can you provide directions of how to enter all the correct setting information on the Xbox? Do I need to enter anything on the Airport?

    Looks like this thread died. I have a similar situation. Got a Time Capsule connected to a modem, and an older airport express in another room I've been using to stream music. The wireless network is WPA password protected. My son just got an Xbox 360. Just fooling around, I connected it to the airport express, but wasn't able to see the network. I have the airport express set to "join network." Do I have to set up a WDS? If so, do I have to change settings on the Time Capsule (to main base in a WDS)? I'd rather not set up a WDS, as I'd rather not mess with the Time Capsule, and I've heard that WDS cuts down on the signal strength of the wireless network. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • How to connect a 2nd airport express in a home network?

    I'm triying to connect a second airport express in my home network but when I plug in and go to Airpot Utility says :
    "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."
    I don't know what to do to get connect the second airport exprees?, Do I miss something ?

    You need AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure that model Express. The problem with that version is that Mountain Lion will refuse to let you install it.
    This dilemma is easily solved. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist or unpkg. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
    Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    When the AirPort Utility .dmg file finishes downloading, open it to expand and reveal the AirPortUtility56.pkg package installer file.
    Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
    Open Pacifist and from its File menu, navigate to the package and open it.
    Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility 5.6.app:
    Select it and then click Install from Pacifist's toolbar. It will then be installed in your Utilities folder, and you can quit Pacifist.
    Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
    If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder instead of resorting to the above procedure. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
    If you have an older computer with a version of AirPort Utility earlier than 6.0, you can administer it that way as well.

  • How to connect to specific Airport

    I have a new Airport Extreme-N which is hardwired to the internet. In another room I have an Express that I use to connect to my DVR to get "on demand" programming.
    I am using the Extend this network option on the Express.
    I am noticing that the iMac will often connect to the Express (which then connects ot the Extreme then to the internet) instead of connecting directly to the Extreme.
    Is there a way to force the iMac to connect directly to the Extreme.
    I'm getting some odd wireless issues (wireless stops working, have to cycle the iMac airport on and off to reconnect) and am wondering if this might be an cuse.

    Oops! My fault.
    There is an option in the AirPort Utility to not allow wireless clients connect to the AirPort, except for the base station (the express would connect to the extreme but the express won't let any other device connect to it while the extreme would let you connect to it). However if you're using the express to extend the range, this won't work (but if you're using the express just to use printer sharing and AirTunes, try this).
    To do this:
    1. Open the AirPort Utility (which is found in the Utilities folder which is in the Applications folder).
    2. Select your AirPort express and click on Manual Setup.
    3. Under the Wireless tab, uncheck Allow Wireless Clients.
    4. Click on Update.
    Then check and see if your computer connects to the extreme.

  • How tot connect 2nd gen airport extreme to 1st gen timecapsule

    Dear Apple Guru's,
    I have the following problem:
    The timecapsue I use, type A1254 is my connection to the internet through a cable modem.
    it allso serves several systems over ethernet and over WIFI.
    the WIFI range is to small.
    So I bought a Airport Express, type A1392.
    I would like to connect this via Ethernet to the timecapsule, as that is the faster connection, and then extend my WIFI network.
    My expectation was that, both being apple, it would be a piece of cake. alas, I have not been able to make it work,
    Will you tell me how to do this?
    Greetings
    Wilfriedo

    Dear Tesserax,
    your proposed solution works, even under AirPort Utility Version 6.1(610.31)
    you don't have the option for my Time Capsule (1st gen) to select 'share a public IP-adress'
    Internet connects solely through ethernet. you can select PPPoE, DHCP, or static.
    Still: it works like a charm.
    thank you

    If the AirPort Extreme is allowing other devices to connect, it is not the issue.

  • I lost my connection with my AirPort Base Station when I upgraded to the OS Maverick.  How can I get my system to recognize the base station again?

    I lost my connection with my AirPort Base Station when I upgraded to the OS Maverick.  I can still see the Internet, but the Time Machine cannot backup now because it cannot locate the AirPort base station.  How can I resolve this issue?
    Steps already taken with zero success:
    1. Restarted the AirPort Base Station multiple times.
    2. Restarted the Mac Pro multiple times.
    3. Looked online for AirPort update for 6.3.2 version.
    Other Apple products in my house can still see the AirPort Base Station, however my Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro cannot.
    Please advise.

    That information helps. If you want to use one of the SmartStor's disks as a repository for sharing your iTunes Library, then do not configure that disk as a RAID. Format it with Disk Utility using the Erase tab. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is the correct choice.
    Connect it to your Time Capsule, then use AirPort Utility to configure access requirements for sharing it on your network. It should appear as a shared volume in the Finder, available to all your Macs as you thought it should.
    I also thought maybe the extra HD space would be added to the existing Airport Disk.  It isn't.
    Correct. There is no way to do that. The only way to increase the capacity of a Time Capsule's hard disk is to replace the Time Capsule (or its disk, if you are amenable to disassembling it) with a larger capacity model.
    If you also want to use the SmartStor as a RAID, that is another story, and you should probably attack that problem separately.

  • How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

    How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
    I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
    I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
    I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
    I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
    My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
    I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
    My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?
    Sigve

    Hi
    Thanks for Swift reply.
    Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
    I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
    router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
    always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
    mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
    to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
    Are the A1088 now useless?
    The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
    Please advise
    Regards
    Sigve

  • How to connect a Sony Bravia TV to the internet through your Airport network

    Since it took me a lot of time to figure out how to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through my Airport network, I better share how to do it. Hopefully saving others a lot of time.
    My 32EX600 Sony Bravia TV is Ethernet connected to my Mac Mini, which is part of my Airport network, together with another Mac, an Airport Extreme Base Station and an ADSL modem/router. Moreover, the Mac Mini is connected to the TV by HDMI.
    Whatever I tried in the TV’s Wired Network Set-up (Auto, or Manual with manual IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS IPs), I couldn’t get it right. Cable Connection and Local Access were mostly OK, Internet Access always Failed.
    The solution lies in the Sharing panel of the System Preferences of the Mac Mini. In the Internet Sharing item of that panel, you should choose to “share your internet connection from WiFi to computers (the TV in this case) using Ethernet“, and NOT (as I had chosen before and seemed so obvious) “share your internet connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet“. After that change, the Bravia Network Set-up, using the Wired and Auto options, flawlessly connected to the internet. No expensive (Sony) WiFi USB dongle needed.

    I have now had a detailed reply from Sony Europe and the way to do this is to:
    1.       Press Home on the TV Setup
    2.       Use the right and left arrow to select Setting.
    3.       Use the up and down to select Network, press Enter.
    4.       Select Network Setup.
    5.       Select Wireless setup.
    6.       Select Scan
    7.       Select your network
    8.       A new screen will appear asking for entering the security key.
    9.       Enter your WPA2 key.
    10.   Select Enter.
    11.   It will take you back to the same screen asking for entering the
    security key.
    12.   Press the right arrow.
    13.   Select Auto.
    14.   Press the right arrow.
    15.   Select Save and connect.
    These instructions are not the same as shown on the TV but they worked fine for me so they may help others with a similar problem.
