  • Airport Base Station doesn't seem to be functioning properly

    Hi everyone. Set up an Airport Extreme Base Station at my house recently. The Airport icon in the menu bar shows that the system is broadcasting, but when I click on the network it says there was an error joining - this happens whether I have the network password-protected or not. When you look at the front of the unit, only the right-side light is flashing ... the middle one stays lit, as it should, but the left-side one never flashes. Any idea what this might indicate, BESIDES the fact that I'm probably an idiot? I'm using two iBook G4's ...
      Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I don't know that I have an answer. It works sometimes, but still don't get a real good signal. I wish I had an answer for you.

  • Where has my airport utility window gone ? when I double click on the icon all I get is an image of a globe and a base station with no options to make changes in my airport extreme.

    Where has my airport utility window gone? When I double click on the airport utility icon all I get is a picture of a globe and a base station with no further  options available to modify my airport extreme. 

    Sorry, you lost me on that last post.
    Let's start over again.
    Open AirPort Utility on your Mac
    Are you asked for a password at this point?  If yes, enter the base station or device password that you used when you originally set up the AirPort router. Depending when you did this originally, you might have been given an option to use the same password as the wireless network. If you were not, then you have a separate password for the base station.
    You need that password to be able to access the settings for the AirPort router in AirPort Utility.
    If you see a window listing basic information, click Edit in the upper right corner of the window.
    If you are asked for a password, you must enter the device password or base station password that you established when you first set up the AirPort router as explained above.
    If you forgot the password, a Soft Reset will allow you to go in and reset the base station password.  Might be a good idea to write down that password.
    If you are still stuck, then the only option that you have at this point is to perform a Hard Reset to return the settings to factory defaults and then set up the AirPort router again.
    If you prefer, you can also do a Factory Default Reset. It's the same as a Hard Reset except for the timing of holding in the reset button.

  • My Airport base station has a status message that says "This AirPort base station doesn't have any DNS server addresses and might have trouble connecting to the internet." What does this mean and how can I fix it?

    My internet is still working, but it's very intermittent. This happened after I updated the firmware a few days ago.

    Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
    You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
    If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
    Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
    Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
    Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
    Check the network

  • My Airport base station doesn't see the cable modem

    I know I have internet upto the Wan Port. I can get online if I connect directly to my laptop, put not if I try to connect through the airport. Any ideas?

    Are you completely powering off the cable modem....pulling the power cord from the back of the device or the wall plug.....and then leaving it powered off for at least 30 minutes?
    Then, connecting the AirPort to the modem?
    If no luck, see if the modem has an accessible battery that you can pull as well for the power down session.
    Some providers take even longer to reset the connection back at the equipment at the cable company, so try powering off the modem a few hours if 30 minutes does not work.
    Finally, it may be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort to start all over again.

  • Old airport base station quits working several times and week and won't let

    me change the password.
    I changed the password on my ibook and reset the airport base station but it still will not change the wpa2 password to the new one. I'm changing the password to rule out anyone having hacked into the network. Several times a week the whole network goes down and I have to turn off power to the base station to get it working again.
    I have plugged it into a battery backup ups but that has not prevented it from crashing.

    Pick, a quick Google search for "Airport Firmware 5.5.1" yielded the following link:
    http://mac.sofotex.com/download-122643.html
    I sense you're getting frustrated - I have a gift for such perceptiveness. Anyway, I wish I could explain your problems but I have no magic bullet for what you're experiencing. All I can offer is to suggest you download and install the above firmware. Hopefully the link works; I haven't tried it. There may be other ways of obtaining 5.5.1 but none was immediately apparent from Apple. Once installed, stick with firmware 5.5.1. As I noted I suffered major problems with 5.6 and have heard anecdotal reports of similar problems with 5.7 though apparently they're much rarer. My Extremes run literally forever without problems so I hope yours can too.
    Next, disable all the encryption on your network for the duration of your troubleshooting. Simplify things as much as possible - remove all but one wireless client from your network. Perform a "hard reset" of your Extreme and reconfigure it from new. Run things like that for a while and see if anything changes.
    Is it possible you're suffering from poor power quality e.g. dropouts, surges, sags, etc? Have you tried a UPS or at least a surge suppressor? I had a spell last summer when the utility would shut off power for a half second a day, literally, a half second, once a day, every day, for weeks. It drove me nuts. They immediately stopped this nonsense the moment I started running my Airport off a battery.

  • Using AppleTV as an Airport Base Station?

    Can I connect the ATV using ethernet and then use the AirPort part to extend the range of my WiFi network?
    I'd like that, because my house is made from thick reinforced concrete and WiFi signals have a hard time getting through. Connected like this, the ATV would much improve the WiFi reception in the living room so I can have a better connection with my MBA on the couch (close to the TV is probably an ideal airport base station location for iPod/iPad/MBA).

  • Airport Base Station Agent with AEX

    Hi,
    I bought an airport express last week and am happily listening to itunes on my home stereo. I noticed that the airport express installation loaded the "airport base station agent" that runs in the system tray. This seems to imply that it is possible to connect a USB drive to the AEX, to the contrary of the imformation provided by Apple. My question is, what is the base station agent for? And if it does not provide any functionality for an airport express alone, why did it install along with the airport utility?
    Thanks,
    Derek

    Hello Cannon Fodder. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The primary purpose of the AirPort Base Station Agent is to monitor any changes in the AirPort base station itself or (if enabled) to alert you that a new firmware version is available. It DOES NOT indicate that the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), either the 802.11g or 802.11n version, can support an external HDD attached to its USB port. Sorry!

  • Why does my airport base station show all green lights but doesn't connect to the internet?

    I have an Airport Express Base Station that has been working beautifully up until this morning.  For no apparent reason (changes in ANYTHING), I cannot connect to the internet through it.  Here's the situation:
    The light on the airport is solid green.
    Aiport Utility shows all is well...the base station shows up, with green light, IP address, etc.
    Network Diagnostics shows "your connection to the internet seems to be working correctly."
    Connecting the modem directly to the computer via ethernet cable works fine...internet humming right along.
    Connecting the modem to the base station doesn't work, even though all green lights and "all systems go" diagnostics.
    Wireless access via iPhone and iPad not working, either, so definitely not computer-based issue.
    No changes have been made to anything.  I'm running 10.6.8 on a 2007 MacBook Pro.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Nancy

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for responding.
    Does that IP address start with 169, or something else?
    The IP address starts with 10.0...
    Does this mean that the iPhone and iPad can connect to the wireless network....but not get to the Internet?.....or.....does this mean that the iPhone and iPad cannot connect to the wireless network at all?
    They can see and connect to the wireless network, but aren't connecting to the internet, just like my computer.  Sorry for not being clear about that.
    Can you look on the side of the AirPort Express to locate the model number?  Hard to see, you may need a magnifying glass. Starts with an "A" followed by four numbers, as in A1264, or A1084, for example.
    The model number on the Airport is A1392.
    Any insights based on this info?  Thanks for your help.
    Nancy

  • Airport extreme base station doesn't show up on network?

    I just set up a wireless airport extreme base station to my PowerBook G4 and hooked my printer to it.  All good.  I also set up a new iPad wifi, and that also is good.  I'm just wondering why the base-station doesn't show up in Finder Network?  Any ideas?  The Network says Neighborhood, but nothing  happens or shows up, when I open it.

    this did not solve my questions.
    Your question was.......I'm just wondering why the base-station doesn't show up in Finder Network?
    We provided answers specifying when the Extreme would and would not appear in the Finder.
    As for the "why", here you are asking about design decisions that have been made by Apple. No one on a user to user forum will be able to answer for Apple. If you want to pursue this, you will need to contact Apple directly.
    Looks like John Galt has it covered as far as the hard drive question.

  • My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software.  I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

    My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software.  I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

    This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
    I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
    If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

  • Airport base station lets Mac print but stopped letting my PCs print, why?

    The only thing I've done differently lately was download the new upgrade for OSX, which was yesterday. Up until now, my airport base station has been operating fine. I have it directly connected to my G4 and also use it for my Sony wireless laptop (new) and a Sony desktop (new). The desktop is located in another room and connects via Airport Express. The laptop is on my desk, next to my G4. The printer is by my G4 and laptop. And the Airport Extreme is on the wall above my monitor.
    Anyway, yesterday, about halfway through an 11-page document, the printer stopped printing to my laptop. It will print, btw, if I unplug it from the Airport Extreme, reconfigure the port from an IP/TCP and plug it into my laptop. What would cause it to stop printing via Airport Extreme? My DSL Internet connection still works on all four computers.
    My printer is an HP color laserjet 2550L. I called Hewlett Packard this morning and talked to customer support. I was informed that HP does not support network connections and could not help me because I was using a Mac product, the Airport Extreme. So I asked, what if I wasn't and directly connected the printer to my PC? So they explained how to configure the port for my printer, and it does print now, but it won't work on the Airport Extreme.
    I also restored my PC to the way it was last month, just in case I had downloaded something that interfered, but that did not help the situation.
    I also tried using emulation software that let me go to a Windows-based Web site through Citrex on my Mac, and I could access the Web site on my Mac, but I could not print. It prints otherwise from my Mac, though. This is just the weirdest thing.
    Do you think my Airport Extreme is defective? It's pretty new. Maybe 2 or 3 months old and has worked fine up until now.
    G4-466 and Sony PC Laptop   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   Also Windows XP

    Have you upgraded the firmware in your airport extreme?
    Also, you may want to consider installing Bonjour for windows on your windows machine and set up the printer via the Bonjour printer configuration.
    The most recent firmware for the airport extreme can be found here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportexpressfirmwareupdate63formacosx.h tml

  • AirPort Utility 6.3.2 doesn't see older AirPort Base Station

    I have an old AirPort Base Station (2001 model, Dual Ethernet, "Snow", actually not "Graphite", though apparently that's the correct category here), which was previously configured with my MacBook Pro running MAC OS X 10.6.8. I've just started it up, with the DSL modem connected to it, and I'm able to connect to it (and get Internet) from my new MacBook Pro running 10.9.4 just fine. However, the latest AirPort Utility v.6.3.2 doesn't see it, says "No configured AirPort base stations have been found. AirPort Utility will continue searching." – although its window does show a green button next to the word Internet, showing (I assume) that there's an Internet connection. Does anybody know how to configure an old APBS like this from 10.9.4? AirPort Utility v.5.6.1 apparently can't be used with 10.9; is there a version that can, and will see this older AirPort Base Station?

    Does anybody know how to configure an old APBS like this from 10.9.4?
    Not in any way that Apple would support, or that we could discuss on this forum.
    Not recommending that you try a solution from the Internet using an "unknown" author to "override" security settings on your Mac, but that would be the only way to possibly get AirPort Utility 5.6.1 to run on 10.9.4.

  • Ipad Bluetooth airport base station hack

    Is it possible for someone to hack into iPad2 via Bluetooth to access airport base station app and get onto my wifi connection? I had iPhone 5 and iPad 2 connected. Suddenly airport utility show disconnected and the name of iPhone device is changed. I turned off wifi on the phone and still shows 2 devices connected. Also I noticed Bluetooth was on for the iPad which I always keep off.

    No, not possible. You're clutching at straws...

  • Airport Express Base Station doesn't appear in AirPort Admin Utility list

    Hi,
    After applying the "Security Update 2007-003" I had the following problem and can't solve it:
    Now I can't find anymore my Airport Express base station under the list of Base stations in Airport Admin Utility and am also having problems while printing wireless, if the printer goes to sleep mode he doesn't wake up automatically anymore to do the job, every time I have to close it and open it again.
    I can't find a solution for this problem, please HELP!
    Thanks,
    Macuser

    "it was downloaded by the software update"
    No problem then. Apparently there WAS such an update, but I missed it and it's been deleted from the list of available downloads, as you can clearly see.
    There is now a new "Security Update 2007-004" for Tiger, and I think it's safe to assume that this will help correct your problems.
    If your problems still exist afterwards, you will want to reset the AirPort Express unit to factory settings and erase all current configuration profiles. Do that by holding in the reset button with a straightened paper clip while plugging the unit into a convenient electrical receptacle. Open the utility "AirPort Setup Assistant" and choose to "Set up a new AirPort Base Station" and proceed. After successful completion, unplug and relocate the AirPort Express to its usual location.
