How to rollback the Airport Extreme to previous release?

Hello,
I need to know how to rollback the Airport Extreme to previous release.
I just updated my last generation Airport Extreme to the latest release because it was blinking orange the status light and it requested to be updated.  Howver, doing so, it no longer recognize my AirPort Express nor my second Airport Extreme (2nd generation) that is bridged.
If anyone knows how to rollback the update I will appreciate it.
Thanks,
genbaez.

I just updated my last generation Airport Extreme to the latest release
We might be confused by last generation. does that mean Gen5??
If it is Gen5 you roll back by holding down the options key while selecting version.
All the previous versions applicable to your model should pop up.
Just select the one you want.. and it will proceed. You get no warning or other chance to stop it.. so choose well. 7.6.1 is IMHO the best when you are going to mix with older products.
I got about 10x link speed improvement doing extend wireless when I rolled back to 7.6.1 yesterday.
Also you should stop the airport utility annoying you.. turn off the firmware update reminders so they only happen once a week. Uncheck all of these. Ignore the update warning when it will inevitably happen.

  • How to setup the Airport Extreme for PSP?

    Can anyone tell me how to setup the Airport Extreme for PSP? I have been searching the Discussions but none of the posting seems to explain detail enough. A step by step guide would be very appreciated. Thanks.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Sorry, I forgot to mention a few points:
    1) I don't have the Airport Extreme base station;
    2) My PowerBook is connect to the internet thru wired connection with the Built-in Ethernet;
    3) The Airport is turned on, but my PSP's scan cannot locate the PowerBook at all (while it find someone else's network)
    So, I wonder if I can just connect my PSP to the built-in Airport in the PowerBook directly. So that I can have internet access on my PSP.

  • How fast IS the AirPort Extreme?

    I'm in need of a new router/modem to go along with my new ISP and new computer. (the computer is a windows) but i have 3 iMacs and 2 Windows.
    I just have a couple of questions.
    1. How fast Is the AirPort Extreme? Does it boost the speeds of the speeds you already get from the ISP?
    2. Is it a router and modem all in one?
    3. How compatible is it with windows? (can I set it up on a windows computer?)
    4. Is it REALLY worth the cost?
    5. What other router/modem combo can compare to it?

    1. How fast Is the AirPort Extreme?
    The Ethernet ports are 10/100 (100 Mbps max). The wireless interface is 802.11g (54 Mbps max).
    Does it boost the speeds of the speeds you already get from the ISP?
    No, the Internet access speed is limited by the connection speed to your ISP.
    2. Is it a router and modem all in one?
    It IS a router. It has a built-in 56k modem but it does not have a DSL or cable modem built-in.
    3. How compatible is it with windows? (can I set it up on a windows computer?)
    Ethernet and 802.11g are both standards. There is a Windows version of the AirPort Admin Utility which can be used from Windows to configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
    5. What other router/modem combo can compare to it?
    Verify few other wireless routers have built-in USB printer support. Of those few devices even fewer are compatible with the Mac.

  • How to connect the Airport Extreme to Windows 2003 network?

    Hi there,
    I recently bought an Airport Extreme. I plugged the wired cable to the Airport that previously was in my MacBookPro and gave me access to our Windows network.
    What do you need to do in order to access the Windows 2003 network from the Airport Extreme?
    Thank you very much in advance your help!
    Wildeagle

    Thanks Tesserax!
    for your support..
    I changed it the way you told me..
    it is very simple... and sounds very logic..
    But after I did changed it in the correct IP address of the server
    and I changed the IP address of the Internet Router (this was a must concerning the AP utility)
    1> the internet was slown down..
    2> the server was not reconisable by the iMac.. he gives the server a PC status ?!?!
    3> the connection was poor and was not found in the AP network
    very strange so I changed it to the old version
    is there really no option?
    perhaps with the DHCP? or with the Internet router?
    FYI
    I have:
    1: Internet/ connected with a HUAWEI router, recieved from my internet provider
    2: connect the Huawei router with the AP Extreme Router
    3: connect the AP Extreme router with the Server NAS
    4: AP Extreme router is the basis.. and from there I do have an Apple Airport Network

  • How to configure the airport extreme as wireless bridge?

    how can i configiure the airport to function as a wireless bridge?
    i have connected my airport now with a wire to the modem/router delivered by the local internetprovider (THomson DWG850).
    Since this device has not much reach I want to connect the airport extreme wireless and position in the living room to have better reach?
    or do i need toc hang the settings in the Thomson? does anyone know where to find the admin password of the Thomson?
    thanks in advance
    Eric

    how can i configiure the airport to function as a wireless bridge?
    Sorry, but it is not possible to configure the AirPort Extreme for this type of setup. You will need to connect the AirPort Extreme to the Thomson router using an Ethernet connection.
    does anyone know where to find the admin password of the Thomson?
    Google turned this up in 5 seconds. There may be others if you look.

  • How powerful is the Airport Extreme wifi card?

    I was surprised at how many more wireless networks my friend's HP laptop was able to pick up from exactly the same spot in our flat in comparison to my iBook, and that the HP laptop had consistently stronger signals from the networks that I could connect to.
    Is the Airport Extreme fairly underpowered in comparison to other wifi cards?

    I used no tool - the comparison was entirely
    subjective (ie the relative visual 'signal strength'
    scale shown by each system's wireless network tools.
    My friend's HP could consistently see 2, sometimes 3
    more networks than my iBook.
    The HP is also an 802.11g card.
    Good, you're comparing cards that may be compared.
    I am pretty sure the antenna is firmly plugged.
    Good.
    As a general comment - the signal to my wireless
    router is strong and solid - this is not impacting on
    my system use at all, but I was interested to see the
    differences!
    The values displayed by different softwares on different
    systems can't be easily compared. Some use logarithmic
    scales when others use linear ones.
    Many wireless drivers display network names even when
    they receive a usable signal for a few seconds.
    This isn't a proof of performance in real use.
    You may receive a frame out of 5 from an interfering
    network, and your software may decide to display this
    network name.
    I advise you to perform an analysis of your wireless
    neighborhood with a tool like iStumbler.
    iStumbler will clearly show you if you have really
    usable networks, a poor signal level network or
    interfering networks.

  • Does anyone know how to get the airport extreme to recognize my Slingbox PRO HD?

    When I run the utility for the SlingPlayer it cannot find the slingbox.
    I imagine it has to do with the 10.0.Xx.XX IP address the airport creates so it cannot find the slingbox.
    Any help with this?

    Nevermind. I fiddles and figure it out myself.
    If anyone has a slingbox turn off you norton or other security software to set things up and then turn it back on.
    Slingbox is an awesome product!

  • How to configure the AirPort Extreme Router to forward data to Warcraft3?

    Your Router and/or Warcraft III are not configured to forward data, on the port Warcraft III is checking, to the other computers on your network.
    That is why blizzard says I can't host warcraft 3 game, to make it simple... I need to open a port for Warcraft 3- How do I do it?

    The directions were moved on the latest document update and actually start on Page 54.
    Open AirPort Utility, select your wireless device, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the device icon to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the password if necessary.
    Click the Advanced button, and then click Port Mapping.
    Click the Add button from the Service pop-up menu.
    The public UDP and TCP ports should be set to 6112.
    The private UDP and TCP ports should be set to 6112.
    The private IP address should be the IP address of your Mac.

  • How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.

    How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.
    When Charter Tech goes to your site, have them connect the modem up, but do not connect the modem to your iMAC or MacBook Pro.  What you want to do is connect the Airport Extreme to the iMac or MacBook Pro first with the Ethernet Cable. You have to do this to configure via Airport Utility to set up the Base Station Name & Base Station Password.
    You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple Tv, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
    Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
    Enter the Wireless Password you want
    Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
    After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).
    Next you then want to unplug the power to the Airport Extreme, and then take the end of the Ethernet cable you unplugged from the iMac or Lap top MacBook Pro and connect it to the back of the Modem.
    Next unplug the power cord from the modem and wait about 5 minutes, then plug the power back into the Arris Modem and wait until all lights come back on the modem wait
    about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow.  Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.
    For INTERNET to the left the light should be green and you should see the Airport Extreme also appear and the light to the left on the screen should also be green.  If they are, you then should be able to click on the Wireless Symbol on top of bar of the screen and click to select the Wireless Network Name you created.
    If you Do Not See the light (Icon) next to INTERNET turn Green, or if you see the Internet Light Green, but the Light (Icon) next to the Airport Extreme is yellow, unplug the power again to the modem and unplug the power again to the Airport extreme and wait about 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes. Then plug the power cord back to the modem wait till all the lights light up then, plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme and Restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro.
    The Airport Extreme light should change from yellow to green. Open up the Airport Utility to see what the indicators are showing they should both be green.  Again select Wireless network you created under the Wireless Icon on the top right of the screen. Open Safari and see if you are able to Route to a web page or the apple site should appear.
    WHAT TO DO IF YOUR AIRPORT EXTREME WAS PREVIOUSLY SET UP FOR USE WITH ANOTHER CARRIERS ROUTER OR MODEM.
    NOTE:  If you already had your Airport Extreme connected for example, I previously had ATT Uverse and the Airport Extreme was connected to the Wireless Router Model 3801HGV, I disabled the Uverse Wireless and used the Airport Extreme for the Wireless signal in bridge mode, as the Airport extreme Signal is much stronger than the Uverse router, and I was able to obtain a Wireless signal with the Airport Extreme way much better with no signal loss which was very very frustrating with the Uverse router.
    Anyhow if you had it hooked up like this, now that you will be using it with the Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A, you will need to reset the Airport Extreme to clear out the old data it has in memory, with the previous set up otherwise it will not work. Trust me I spent 6 hours trying to make it work reading all Apple Support Community questions and answers relating to this type issue/problem others have been having trying to get their set up working. I tried all the tips, and I finally decided just to see if by chance I would be able to connect with someone with Charter Tech support who might be familiar with Apple to be able to assist me and by luck I did.  He told me why it was not working and was all due the previous configuration with the ATT Uverse router was still in memory with the Airport Extreme. Finally it was 10:30 PM when I decided to call Charter Tech Support and I had been working on this since 3:00 pm pacific. I did not call them earlier as all the post I read said they never received any good help from Charter. After calling them I finished up by 11:00 PM and was able to finally connect Apple Tv, iMac, iPhones and Macbook Pro. We love our Apple Product and Happy all is connected with the new
    Internet Provider Charter. I must say the speed is way way much better than it ever was with AT&T Uverse. 
    THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO:
    First you will need to unplug the Airport Extreme, then by taking the tip of a pen or paper clip end you need to push the reset button on the back of the Airport Extreme and hold it
    down and at the same time plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme count to 5 or 10 then release the reset button. Then once he light in front of the Airport Extreme stops blinking you need to plug the Ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to your iMAC or Macbook Pro, and restart which ever one you have, then open the Airport Utility once it is back up.  If you see airport extreme pop up with the old network name or it shows and yellow triangle click on the Airport Extreme ICON it will not let you configure it but will ask if you want to get rid of it or remove and just do it.  Then Again restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro, open up Airport Utility again, and on the top left you should see under “Other Airport Base Stations” the MAC ID for the Airport Extreme.
    You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple TV, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
    Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
    Enter the Wireless Password you want
    Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
    After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).

    I just got a Charter Modem. Model TM822. While I was moving, my Airport Extreme was still at my old place.
    I have a Linksys WRT320N I used for the initial Charter setup.
    I can get my Airport to work here, but the Internet light on the Modem flashes Yellow.
    Hasn't caused any issues so far but one thing I did notice.
    On the Linksys there were 3 DNS servers listed.
    The Airport Extreme only lists 2 and i don't see where I could add another, only change whats already there.
    I tried everything above, but light on modem still flashes yellow.
    I have the technicians cell phone. Told me "that shouldn't be" and gave the same advice listed above.
    I'll break down and call Charter one day, see if it's on their end. NSA tracking may need a reset LMAO.

  • How do i use the airport extreme to extend my wireless network

    How do i connected my airport extreme up to my existing network so that it can extend my wireless through out the house ??
    Can it be done wirelessly or do i need an ethernet cable thats about 10m ?
    Keith

    The AirPort Exteme can "extend" your existing wireless network (using wireless only) if it is being provided by another Apple router.
    If your current main router is not an Apple product, then you will need to plan to connect the AirPort Extreme to your router using an Ethernet cable.
    Post back for more information if needed.

  • How to Connect a Thinkpad to the AirPort Extreme?

    I have an AirPort Extreme router which I have been happily using for wireless internet access on my Macbookpro. Now my wife, with an IBM Thinkpad, with WindowsXP, wishes to use the same wireless access. The AirPort Extreme Setup Guide says that she should go to Start>Programs>AirPort. But she does not find AirPort there. What should I and she do (in babytalk please)? We tried, using our flash drives to transfer a copy of AirPort from my Mac to her PC, but that does not seem to work. Help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    frankxc, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I'm sure that Apple's setup guide is expecting that you have installed the software from the disc which shipped the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) onto the Windows laptop.
    Unfortunately in my experience the directions for enabling wireless on a Windows laptop varies immensely on what wireless hardware capabilities that laptop has installed and what version of Windows is installed.
    I have a IBM Thinkpad and I can tell you that the directions vary immensely from the previous 2 Thinkpads I used.
    I would suggest that you visit the IBM web site and try to find directions there.

  • How do I set up a Netgear WNR3500 as wireless extender with the Airport Extreme as my main router?

    I just got the Airport Extreme yesterday because the Netgear couldn't hold all the computers we had on it. Now the Apple router works great, except for it is downstairs in the basement because our home computer is ancient and only connects via ethernet cord. So the Wi-Fi upstairs is only one bar on my smart phone way in the corner far from the router. I did some research and found out that the Netgear WNR3500 can be used as a wireless extender. I want to hook it up on the main floor away from the Airport where the signal is strong so it will still get great connection but will be able to transmit that same great connection a little bit farther. I just want to know how to do that.
         Thank You!

    The Netgear WNR3500 has mixed reviews at best and their customer support is unformly regarded as poor.
    Interesting how different people have different experiences - although I never needed their tech support, so I would not have an opinion on that, this wireless router was the absolute best router I've ever had. I had to stop using it because I changed ISP's and was forced to use their modem/router combination (nothing else will work with their new V-DSL service); however, I've kept the router in case I should need to use it as an extender (which I haven't). In any case, unlike D-Link, Belkin, or Link-Sys which would at most give me one bar in my livingroom and the signal would cut out intermittently (livingroom is 50 ft from study), the Netgear showed all the bars and was steady as a rock. Configuring it with MAC filtering on their website was much easier than my current one as well.

  • How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal?

    How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal? What equipment & devices do I need to travel with to make this possible?

    You may mean the AirPort Express.....not AirPort Extreme.....as the Express is a popular travel router.
    The whole idea behind using this device is that the hotel must provide an Ethernet jack in the hotel room. Then you connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet jack with an Ethernet cable and configure it to provide your own wireless network in the room. You still have to agree to terms, pay the fees, etc.
    The problem with this approach is that it is getting very difficult to find hotels in North America that prrovide an Ethernet jack....most have moved to wireless networks and the others are not far behind.
    So, if the hotel is already providing a wireless signal, the AirPort Express is of no use in that situation.
    If you normally stay at the same hotels, and know that they provide Ethernet ports, an AirPort Express might make sense in terms of convenience.

  • How do I use Airport Extreme to limit internet time for my kids?  His computer is hardwired to the modem.

    How do I use Airport Extreme to limit internet time for my kids?  His computer is hardwired to the modem.

    You can set up daily time limits for each computer that connects using wireless, but it is not possible to do this when a computer is connecting directly using a wired Ethernet connection.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac and click Manual Setup
    Click the Access Control tab below the icons
    Select Timed Access
    For more details on this, click the Help menu at the top of the screen and enter the following phrase into the search box:
    Controlling access to your wireless network
    A more sophisticated approach would be to use a service provided by OpenDNS. From your computer, this would allow you to monitor web sites visited, and block any unsuitable sites. More info is here:
