HT4260 Can i control which wireless clients i like to betrol which wireless clients i like to be connected on my airport base station?

Can i control which wireless clients i like to betrol which wireless clients i like to be connected on my airport base station?

Yes. Use AirPort Utility's MAC Address Access Control.
AirPort Utility > select your base station > Edit button > Network tab > "Enable Access Control" > click the Timed Access Control button.
You need to specify the clients you want to control by their MAC address, which is usually printed on the device's exterior case.

  • 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.

  • 10.6.1: Can't resolve FQDN when connecting via WLAN / Airport Base Station

    Hi everybody,
    after hours of work and having read many helpful topics in this forum (and other) I've successfully setup a Single Signon Environment for my home office. It's a dual core macmini server running 10.6.1 and only mac clients.
    The server is connected via switch to my airport extreme base station. This airport station uses PPPoE to connect to my ISP and it has the DHCP service running, handing out the clients' IP addresses. The server and the switch have all static IP addresses.
    My issue is the following:
    Whenever I connect via wifi or vpn using my MBP, I am not able to "bind" to the server (via system preferences : users : login setting) using the FQDN. The error is "can't resolve address. -2200" Instead it only finds myserver.local - and then I am able to set up my wifi connected client.
    However, when I set up the client with the .local address I am unable to get a kerberos ticket for my users. The ticket viewer says, that it can't resolve the address for myserver.mycompany.private
    I was able to get afp or ical to work on my vpn or airport connected clients when I used the server's IP address instead of a domain name - but only with kerberos turned off and with other problems.
    I've heard that if everything is configured right, the server should show up in every clients' sidebar with its FQDN and NOT the bonjour name. Right now it shows only the bonjour name - even on the clients connected via Ethernet.
    The other strange thing is that when I log into my client system I still have to authenticate with ticket viewer in order to get my kerberos ticket. Usually Single Signon should work with the login window, right?
    I really don't know what else to do. I double checked my DNS settings and everything seems ok. I entered the FQDN of the my server in the airport stations' DHCP settings as "LDAP server" - nothing changed...
    Do I need to use the server's DHCP service instead of the airport station's DHCP? And if I do this, how to I turn off airport's DHCP? It does not seem to be possible when connected via PPPoE to my ISP.
    I am unsure what to do in order to get things to work. Anybody out there who can help?

    Hi Davidh and thanks for posting!
    I had 3 DNS entries in my client's network settings - one was the server and the other 2 were from my ISP. Removing the ISP's DNS entries and keeping the server DNS IP solved my kerberos issue. Wow!
    I'd never thought that it won't work with more than the server given as DNS entries. I'll need to check this with my iPhone later, because I had a similar issue with that device yesterday when trying to connect via VPN.
    Thanks very much!
    Still one question:
    The sidebar of my clients still don't show the server's FQDN - but only its bonjour name. Is this right? I read in another forum that the client's sidebar should show the FQDN if everything is configured right.

  • Airport Base station or Airport express to use wirelessly for dial up ?

    I have an Ibook G4 1.33 with a Airport extreme card.
    I currently have it set it up to the wireless modem that my phone company provided for me for my DSL service.
    Unfortunately I am moving to an area that does not have DSL service. I would like to know if I can set up my Ibook to use it wirelessly and have it connected to an Airport base station or Airport express in order to have my dial up service to work wirelessly???? So Airport base station or Aiport Express?? Many Thanks in advance- Geof
    IBook G4 1.33 12 1.5GB, Vintage Imac , Ipod with video, Ipod Nano   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    The only base station with dial-up capability (in addition to traditional ethernet equipped modem capability) is the AirPort Extreme Base Station w/modem. Check the Apple Store to look over the details, and make sure you are looking at the AEBS with the modem (there is also a version without a dial-up modem which will not work in your application).

  • Can't find my printer from my MacBookPro. Canon MX870 connected via ethernet to my Airport Base station

    I have a MacBookPro3,1. My Canon MX870 is connected to my Airport base station via ethernet. It was working fine until two days ago. I restarted my computer, the printer and the airport and router. Reinstalled the driver for the printer and even reset the airport. Best I can tell it's something with my MacBook. My girlfriend was over yestrday and she has a newer MacBookPro and I can find my printer fine on her MacBookPro but I can't find it at all on mine. I'm at a complete loss. Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I wonder if one of the “printing” plists has become corrupted. Find your preferences file in the library under your user name. Scroll down to the series of printer plists starting with “com.apple.print“. There are a series of them, even one specifically for the mx 870. You can delete a plist with relative impunity as they are rebuilt when you restart your MBP. I would delete 1st the one that has 870 in the name, put it in the trash, but don’t empty the trash,  and restart. If that doesn’t solve the problem you can delete others- like the “print add“ plist or print center plist. Restart after each deletion and see if that solves the problem. You can always drag  the deleted plists out of the trash  and put them back where they came from as long as you don’t empty the trash.
    Good Luck!

  • Hi, Some one hacked into my AirPort Base Station, which initially I had not secured with password. Now they took control by adding their own password. How can I regain ownership back?

    Hi there,
    I have an intruder into my AirPort Base Station wireless connection. The Station initially I did did not protect it with a Password, so the intruder branded it a name and put on a password. Is there any way I can deactivate the intruder's password and regain ownership?
    Thanks for your answers in advance.

    Some one hacked into my AirPort Base Station.....
    No, they did not have to "hack" into your AirPort at all.  Since the door to your wireless network was wide open, they simply walked right in.
    Is there any way I can deactivate the intruder's password and regain ownership?
    Hold the reset button on the back of the AirPort in for 9-10 seconds, and then release. Allow a full minute tor the AirPort to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    The AirPort is back to new, out of the box settings. You can can now reconfigure it again......hopefully this time with a password.

  • HT1218 I recently updated from O.S. 10.6 to Mountain Lion and had additional memory installed.  Now I can't get my wireless printer to print wirelessly.  I went to Airport utilities as suggested above, but it says it can't locate any airport base station.

    I just updated from OS 10.6 to Mountain Lion.  My HPC4780 wireless all-in-one will not print wirelessly, even though it indicates it is getting a wireless signal.  I followd the "airport base station firmware updates" suggestions, but my computer can't detect an airport base station, even though I am looking at it, and the light is green like it is supposed to be.  The printer works if I connect it, but won't print wirelessly.  Any ideas?  I am trying to learn Mountain Lion's ins and outs.

  • How can i use an airport base station and multiple airport expresses with U-verse and still use wireless tv boxes?

    I just got uverse, and when I put my Airport Base Station in Bridge mode I lose access to the 4 airport express stations I have. Can anyone tell me how to turn off the u-verse wireless, set up a network with all the apple stations and still have wireless u-verse tv boxes work? Thanks!

    Can I relocate the airport base station to downstairs and connect it to the Sawtooth there for receiving wireless from the Verizon router and broadcast further to its wireless network?
    Sorry but no the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will not wirelessly connect to the network provided by the Verizon FiOS router.
    What you could do is get another AEBS, an AX, or a Time Capsule and place that downstairs. Then use that device to wirelessly connect to the wireless network provided by your current AEBS. If your current AEBS is not 802.11n capable then you would need to use WDS to make this happen. One bad thing about WDS is that each WDS link cuts your affective wireless bandwidth in half.

  • HT4145 Can I link up a Dlink wireless router to a Airport Base Station

    Hi All,
    need advise on whether can I link up a Dlink wireless router to a Airport Base Station and if can how do I set it up.
    with regards and thank you
    Chris

    If your goal is to either extend the D-Link's Wi-Fi network with the AirPort or the other way around, then the answer is no. That is because, most non-Apple routers are not WDS-compatible with the AirPorts.

  • Airport Base Station-Do g devices slow it down?  Parental controls

    I need to purchase a new Wi-Fi router and am looking at several but am looking at the Airport Base Station.
    Most of my devices such as my Mac's all use N networking but other devices such as my Xbox 360 use g networking. When doing research on the Airport Base Station I read that when you connect G devices to the Airport Base Station it will slow down the entire network to G speed so that all your N devices really only get G speed.
    Is this still an issue? Does the newer version of the Airport Base Station still do this? Has there been a firmware or hardware upgrade that solves this issue?
    Also, when it comes to parental controls, does the AEBS have good parental controls? What I'm most interested in is being able to block specific websites such as Facebook so that all devices connected to the network would not be able to access Facebook. When I read up on the AEBS it appears to have some parental controls but you can't block specific websites. Is this true?
    Another router I'm looking at is the Cisco Linksys E2000. A friend of mine has a E1000 and loves it. When doing research I became interested in the E2000 since it has gigabit ports.
    Would g devices slow down all n devices connected to it though? What I'm wondering is if the issue with g devices is related to the AEBS or all n routers. What I like it is seems the E1000/E2000 has great parental controls for website blocking.
    Thank you for your help.

    The AirPorts have no parental control capability so your choices are really down to the Cisco products.
    As far as whether a "g" device will slow down an "n" device on a compatible network, it's all pretty much relative. If the "g" device is an iPhone, and the iPhone is connected to the network, I see no slowdown at all on the connection to my "n" Mac.
    If I'm downloading something to the iPhone, the Mac may slow just a bit...maybe 10-15% during the iPhone download...but it does not drop down to "g" level wireless at any time.

  • This AirPort base station was unable to extend the wireless network.

    I have an AirPort Extreme in the lounge connected to BT infinity.
    I also have an airport express in the kitchen connected to a stereo system.
    I have had this set up for around 12 months.
    The airport express will not extend the wireless network.
    I reset it, restart, factory reset etc and it will work fine for around 3 days, then I get the same error message saying
    This AirPort base station was unable to extend the wireless network. Make sure the wireless network you’re trying to extend was set up and is working correctly, that you entered a matching wireless network password into this device, and that this device is in range of the wireless network.
    The express is situated easily within range of the extreme. And the airplay between those two, my iMac and two apple tv's works pretty much as it should.
    Can someone please shed some light on this?
    Maybe I have it in a wrong setting or summut....

    I am also experiencing a recent failure in my Airport devices no longer extending my wireless network. 
    My Aiport Express and second Airport Extreme were extending my wireless network for more than a year
    The only change that has taken place lately is that the firmware for both devices was upgraded to 7.6.4, however the upgrade was only in response to trying to resolve this problem.  Needless to say, the firmware upgrade did not resolve anything.
    If I didn't know better, I'd have thought I wrote the above. 
    I have a TC from a few years ago (last one before the tower, I think), plus the older AEBS that it replaced extending the network, plus a 1-year-old Express also extending. I had upgraded them all to 7.6.3/4 when it came out, but reverted them all to 7.6.1 when everything went crapways (others having the same issues of the LAN regularly croaking), and didn't bother upgrading again since. 
    Today I just tried 7.6.4 on all of them, and it seemed OK at first with green lights all around in Airport Utility.  Then I made one change, which was to enable 5Ghz on the main AEBS/TC only (the express doesn't need it, and the older AEBS can't do it).
    The latter two started flasing amber and giving the "unable to extend wireless network" error message.
    So I'm wondering if you are similarly using 5Ghz?

  • "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."  I can see the content of the TimeCapsule's drive in finder and Time Machine but it no longer is making backups. Ideas?

    Bought new TimeCapsule March 2013. Worked fine. Now get "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."  I can see the content of the TimeCapsule's drive in finder and Time Machine but it no longer is making backups. Ideas?

    Make sure that you have AirPort Utility 6.3.1 installed on your Mac.
    AirPort Utility 6.3.1 for Mac - Support - Apple
    Then, power off the entire network...all devices...in any order that you want
    Wait a minute, then start the modem first and let it run a full minute
    Start the next device connected to the modem, which may be your Time Capsule and let it run a minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time the same way until the entire network is back up
    See if AirPort Utility can "see" the Time Capsule now.
    If yes, try another backup. If you encounter an error message, post back with the exact message.

  • 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?

  • Do I need a airport base station to extend my network or can i use my network router?

    I bought a Airport express to enhance my current wifi in the house, and i can't seem to get it to enhance it. There is one room that dont have wifi and it is the room i bought it for. Now when i talked with apple they said all i needed was the express and it should enhance it, but i can't seem to get it to work. Do i need a airport base station of some sort or does my current router work fine. I just need some help and its been 3 months and its getting old. So i appreciate any help.

    Do i need a airport base station of some sort or does my current router work fine.
    I'm afraid that this will not help you, but at least you will have some accurate information.
    Using wireless only, the AirPort Express can "extend" or "repeat" the wireless network that is provided by another Apple "n" wireless router.
    Using wireless only, the AirPort Express can NOT "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal if it is being produced by another router from another manufacturer.
    In this case, you will need to connect the AirPort Express to the other wireless router using a wired Ethernet connection. Post back if you need more information about this type of setup.
