HP LaserJet 5000 doesn't work with Airport Extreme

My HP LaserJet 5000 is connected to a Linksys router which is connected to the AE. My HP DeskJet is connected the same way and works fine. Although the computer recognizes the Laser printer it will not print. The error message that comes up is "Printer Not Responding". Does anyone have any suggestions?

This all leads me to believe that the problem is with our router. We have a 4th generation Airport Extreme. Outside of this issue, it has worked very well for us for several years. Our modem is a Motorola SB121.
I should note that everything was working fine up until a few weeks ago. As far as I know, nothing changed within our setup. She had lost connectivity in the past for a few days at a time randomly, but it came back.
These issues are almost not worth wasting the time spent on them.. you can go out and buy an $80 router.. probably cheaper in the US and have it running again in 5min.
Your careful analysis looks correct.. the blame is squarely on the AE.
I am guessing you thought (wrongly as it turns out) that the latest firmware would be the best.
It is highly likely firmware update somewhere along the way to the latest caused the problem.
Try going back to 7.6.1 firstly and then 7.5.2 . .after each downgrade.. factory reset.
Use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric for all names in the AE. ie .. do not use apple names..
So AEGen4 is a great name .. AE24ghz is a great name for 2.4ghz wireless and AE5ghz is a great name for 5ghz.. yes, do separate names for both wireless channels whilst this issue continues.
Try and report back if it helps at all.

Will a WD hard drive work with AirPort Extreme to connect with an iPad Air

Will a WD hard drive work with Airport Extreme to connect by a iPad Air

If you already have an AE and a WD drive .. the best idea is plug it in and see on a mac in airport utility is the drive recognised.
If not you have problems.. if it is formatted correctly (Not NTFS mainly) then it can be a drive that is not compatible.
assuming it works get your ipad and pay for filebrowser or at least download a test copy and see how it goes.
Always the best way to find out.. try it.

Any current inkjet printers work with Airport Extreme 802.11g Basestation?

Does anyone know if there are any printers out there currently being sold that actually work with Airport Extreme (802.11g)? Not the latest 802.11n basestation, but the UFO-shaped Extreme g basestation? I recently tried the HP DeskJet D4160 and it does not work at all with it, although my deprecated HP 940c works just fine. I need to replace the 940C, and I don't want to have to buy and return 20 different printers in order to find one that actually works... Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

The AirPort Extreme does allow AirPlay to "pass-through" but it does NOT support receiving AirPlay streams to be played back through powered speakers or an audio receiver as it does not have any built-in audio circuitry like the AirPort Express models.

Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme?

Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme? Such as an HP Photosmart D110.

Yes, it will as long as it is within wifi signal range of the Extreme. Of course, you'll need to go through the printer setup sequence. NOTE: The D110 is not AIRPRINT compatible, so it will not print from ios operating systems that are installed in mobile devices such as iphones, ipads, ipods. However, there are Apps that are available for non airprint printers, but their quality and effectiveness are questionable.

Will sony s-air sw10ti work with airport extreme?

Hi There,
I have the Sony S-Air SW10 Ti which has a great sound but the Aerial on it for DAB Radio is rubbish, it does have a docking station which also sounds good but no other connection parts. Would this perhaps work with " Airport or Aiport Express/Extreme" ?

Thanks - I am glad that you explained your situation a liitle more - although there is no direct way to connect to the wi-fi of the Sony - the Airport Express (not the Extreme) has an audio out jack that can be connected to any system - this would be an indirect way of using wi-fi with your Sony - see this link - http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ - you could also incorporate Apple TV into your setup - see this link - http://www.apple.com/appletv/ - but as you can see, both of these choices involve AirPlay and Itunes which may limit your options - and because they are beyond the scope of this discussion group, I would suggest that you re-word your questions and ask them in the appropriate disccusion group in this forum - I hope that this clarifies things somewhat.

How do i set up time capsule to work with airport extreme base to extend wireless network?

i have a airport extreme base, how do i set up a time machine to extend the wireless network i have with airport extreme? i have also 3 airport express's connected to the same network to extend my wifi all over my house. thanks in advance.

Much better graphics, thanks.
You can leave the Time Capsule connected by Ethernet from the Linksys and configure for a "roaming" network as mentioned previously.
To do this, open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as the AirPort Extreme
No check mark needed next to Allow this network to be extended
Radio Mode = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon, then the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and allow the Time Capsue to restart
Then power down the entire network
Wait a minute or two
Start the modem first and let it run a full minute
Start the AirPort Extreme the same way
Power up the switch
Power up the Time Capsule for a minute
Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart
Now, your computer will automatically pick up a wireless signal from either the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, whichever device is closer and providing the stronger signal.

Airport utility 6.3.1 doesn't work with airport express

need help I can't get my airport extreme and airport express to work together on airport utility 6.3.1. The extreme works but not the express. Message pops up this version of airport utility doesn't support this base station

is there any way to go backwards with my version of aiport untitlity?
I am not recommending this, but some users have had success installing an older version of AirPort Utility 5.6 on their Macs. This is not supported by Apple, so there is no guarantee that it will work for you.
If you want to give this a try, see this thread for information and details:

Panasonic BL-C131 wireless doesn't work with Airport Express and Extreme

I have Airport Express to create a wireless network, and an Airport Extreme to extend the wireless network. When I connect the LAN cable on Extreme and the Panasonic BL-C131, the camera can successfully detect IP and work fine. However, when I remove the cable and switch the camera to wireless mode, it can never detect the IP. I've read somewhere in the camera manual that it needs a UPnP enabled router to have wireless work. I am wondering if there is any way to confirm, since I know Airport only support Bonjour.
I really like to keep the Airport at home, or I'll need to replace it with a D-link router.

Issue solved

WiFi Sync with iOS 5 doesn't work with Airport Express used as a wifi extender?

So in our apartment we have an Airport base station that doesn't reach all the way to the bedrooms, so we use an Airport Express as a wifi extender/repeater. The Wifi sync doesn't work when connected to the Airport Express. My iPhone and iTunes can't find each other. But if I'm sitting next to the base station it works just fine. Is there a workaround for this to get wifi sync working in my bedroom? I've updated both Airports to the latest firmware versions.
Thanks

Well, never mind. It magically started working.

What is the best way to make 3g/4g simcard work with airport extreme

I live in Mumbai, India and I am tired of the state of broadband connection over here. I have vodafone 3G Data only SIM with me which I use via a 3G dongle that plugs into my mac. It has a decent speed and I would like to use it as a primary internet connection across the 3 iPhones, 2 iPads, a Mac and 2 apple tvs at my home.
I have a 2014 airport extreme and i want to know what hardware do i need to make the 3g sim work with it? like put the sim in the hardware/adapter and then plug it into the wan port of the airport extreme and let the AE handle my dhcp so that i can access 3g internet from all my devices?
also, i was something 4g compatible as 4g is on the roll in India. it doesn't have to be a wireless router on its own but something that can dial the connection and provide internet access to the AE via the wan port.
thanks.

The only reason I mention it would be configure your network for a roaming instead of extended setup. The number one advantage over an extended is bandwidth performance ... aka speed.
For example, I have a Cisco RVS4000 wired router as my main Internet router. I am fortunate that my 2-story home came pre-wired for Ethernet. I have placed an AirPort Extreme and a Time Capsule, connected by Ethernet back to the Cisco; one on each floor to provide a seamless wireless network for an assortment of wired/wireless clients. With this setup, I am able to stream HD TV content throughout the house. Mine is an example of what you can do with a roaming network.

Pc will not work with Airport Extreme LAN connection

I have setup my Aiport Extreme Base Station and my Mac and phone work just fine with the setup. However, I connected a PC directly to one of the LAN ports on the back, and the PC doesn't see the network. Above the port the light is blinking green. Any thoughts?

Is the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) the only router in your current network configuration? That is, it is connected directly by Ethernet to your Broadband Internet modem? ... or to another router between the AEBS and the modem?
When connected by Ethernet to the AEBS, can the PC "see" the Mac or vice-versa?

Mac filter not working with Airport Extreme

I setup my new AEBS and for whatever reason when I setup the Mac filter it still will let the desired user in with the key. I have both the wireless N and the wireless G (guests) setup and it doesn't seem to work with the G for sure, unfortunately I don't have any other wireless N capable units so I don't know if it works with N. I would assume that it would block all other Mac addresses if I select "No Access." Please help, and no I do not have any extensions of it, it's just the Extreme as the single wireless access point in our house with WPA security. Thanks!

I had the same problem. On the MAC access panel in Airport Utility, click on the default user and then use the drop down menu below and click no access. Any of the added IDs you have added you can still put 24 hour access and only those users can connect to the network.
The default is set for all access, so unless you change this, no matter how many separate IDs you add, it will let anyone on if they have a password.
I didn't figure this out for years, but now it works the way I thought it was working all along...

Will Stardom's "Safe Capsule" work with Airport Extreme?

I'm confused by the descriptions of this device. First of all there seem to be two different devices with more or less the same description one is just "Safe Capsule Made for Apple Time Capsule" which seems to indicate that it has the capacity for 2TB of memory, and "Safe Capsule with 2TB Made for Apple Time Capsule". It isn't clear why the second one is $369 while the first is only $79, but I assume that the first is probably "sans drive"? Since they don't say that specifically, it sounds a bit like a scam.
Second, is this devise usable if connected to Airport Extreme, or only if I already have a Time Capsule from Apple? Anyway, I order it and then immediately had second thoughts so called and canceled the order. But it's not clear to me what this device actually does, and the descriptions seem misleading. Here's a link to the description of the first device: http://tinyurl.com/34k5tf8
And here's the link to the second: http://tinyurl.com/3aeneh3
Pretty confusing.

The wording is a little vague, but I agree with your impression.

It should work fine with either one. You should be aware that Apple doesn't officially support use of a USB drive connected to an Apple Wi-Fi base station as a Time Machine drive, although many people have been reasonably successful with that.

Does the CP1025 work with Airport Extreme?

Hi, I am unable to get my CP1025 (not CP1025nw) connected to the Airport Extreme (AE) to be able to print through the network. The AE recognizes my other printer - HP Photosmart C3188 immediately and sets up automatically. So, I am assuming my network is ok. Initially, AE was able to recognize the CP1025, but failed at the last step in Bonjour.(error 1797 you do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer). I then upgraded the firmware on the CP1025 and now AE does not recognize the CP1025. Bonjour says "no bonjour printers are available". I have been trying this through my laptop (win7) and desktop (xp sp2), but it's not working. Installed and uninstalled bonjour and drivers several times. Also tried to replace the setup for c3188 with cp1025 through the Printer properties/ports window. Would it help if I used the older firmware? Where can I find it? How else can I fix this? Thanks ------------ CP 1025 firmware: 20120130 CP1025 driver: 3.0 (16 Mar 2012) Bonjour for windows v2.0.2 Airport extreme version: 7.6.1

It appears that you are using Bonjour on a Windows platform to get the printer connected wirelessly.
The best way to get the Laserjet cp1025 connected is to use WPS or a USB to wireless setup.
Instructions for both can be found by clicking on Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network.
To use USB to Wireless, you will need a Windows or Mac OS X (10.5, 10.6, or 10.7) connected to a wireless network.
Installing a USB to wireless setup printer can be very tricky and buggy using Bonjour installation.
The steps in the link are for the Laserjet cp1025 and should get you going with getting it to connect. The Laserjet is only designed to be connected to a network with USB to wireless or the router's WPS button (if it has one).
