Is there an Airport utility to connect to specific wireless access points?
(Trying the server forum... not getting any bites in the Airport or Tiger areas). It appears that the factory airport cards found in iBooks & PowerBooks do not always connect to the strongest wireless signal in a network with a mixture of Airport Extreme, Airport Graphite and Cisco Aironets. Is there a utility for Panther & Tiger that will allow a user to pick the access point he/she wants to use instead of allowing the card to automatically select? Windows XP shows you all the access points and allows you to select the strongest signal. Here's an example of the problem: an employee with a new PowerBook is sitting 10 feet away from a new Cisco Aironet 802.11 b/g access point, but his PowerBook insists upon using the much weaker signal from an Airport Exteme 802.11 b/g access point from the floor below him. This is one wireless network emitting the same SSID and encryption. What gives?
Thanks in advance!hmm well i beleaved that a mac wireless card automatically picked the strongest signal,
but can i ask are they both running at G or B all the time, maybe the stronger signal is only available at B so the powerbook picks up the signal from the weeker access point thats available at G.
I thought that the speed, B or G is dependant on what card connects, that if a B card connects to an access point then the whole access point is lower to B speed, maybe this is so, im not sure, so maybe its not only signal strength but speed as well that determines what access point to join. -
I've downloaded AirPort Util 5.6, in order to manage my Gen 1 Airport Express - because Airport Util 6.0 won't recognise it.
But when I go to mount, it says Airport 5.6 it can't be installed as my version of OSX (latest Mountain Lion) is not supported/does not support on 5.6.
Super unhelpful error messages bringing back memories of using Windows...
Anyone sussed this, or have Apple just fazed out the original Airport Express hardware on the sly?Generation 1 AirPort Express is Model No A1264. Check the side of your Express to look for the model number there. AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion will configure this model.
More likely, you have an older "b/g" version of the Express. Apple started the "Generation" thing with "n" capable devices. The Model number of your device is likely either A1084 or A1088. AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion no longer supports these older "b/g" devices.
If you have a Mac there running an earlier version of the operating system, you can use that to configure the Express.
Or, there is is workaround to install AirPort Utility 5,6 for Lion on Mountain Lion. See this article for details:

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?
What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time. -
is there a capability to save/export the new airport 2TB time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. set-up wasn't a problem but the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
Sounds like you are a bit confused with version numbers.
Latest AirPort Utility version for the iPhone / iPad is 1.3.3. There is no option or capability to export/import settings on the iOS version(s) of AirPort Utility.....although you could take a series of screen shots and save them for future reference.
AirPort Utility 6.3.x is found on a Mac.....not on iPhone / iPad. Export and Import options are found under the File menu in 6.3.x. -
For quite a while my MBP (10.5.8) cannot see the Airport Extreme 802.11n (AE) (2nd ed) anymore when I start Airport Utility (AU) (v5.5.3). My solution was to lower security settings of the MBP to 'accept all incoming connections', knowing that this was not a nice solution. Normally I had selected 'acces for specific services and programs' (the lowest option - my AE differs in language). In the past I denied access for requests that regularly came from mDNSresponder (etc), as I could not easily find out how necessary they were. I am not sure whether Bonjour is running; I try to stick to TCP/IP (without Netbios); the same might be the case with other obscure network services...
Then I added another network drive (WD Mybooklive) that works based on shares. The installation program worked fine, I was able to set up the drive for Timemachine backups and -in the proces of upgrading to Snow leopard (I always stay one OS version behind)- my MP3 collection could be read from another drive that was connected to the AE.
I am not sure what exactly lead to the loss, but now I can not see the shares anymore in the finder. Unless I select 'connect to server' (Cmd-K) and fill in afp://ip-adres. I had some trouble with the MBP-drive and Disk Utily could not fix it in multi-user mode. Applejack-auto in single user mode finished after some repairs (catalog file and catalog hierarchy errors), but I doubt that causes the trouble.
In all cases, internetting and accessing the connected drive was no problem.
The funny thing is, my Mac Mini (10.5.8) however can see the AE with Airport Utility (different version) fine. Somehow I get the idea that the networkstack of my MBP has been messed up, but I don't know what it should be, nor how I could check it, or how to repair the stack. But maybe it is not the stack at all.
Right now, I've just reset the AE by holding the reset button for about 10 s. The name has returned to 'Base Station xx', which is visible in AU, but when I click on another button ('manual configuration' or 'continue'), first the message "Are you sure you want to connect to another wireless network?". Finally no connection appears and the error 'AU cannot find your Airport' shows up (while the Base Station is visible in the left column) - or does not show up when I refuse to switch to another network.
So, who can help me to reconnect to the Airport Extreme and/or repair the network stack?WDS is a difficult setup for many users because it is so easy to make a mistake (while swearing that you are not).
Apple's instructions for WDS are here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4262
I still think the instructions provided by Tesserax are the best available:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2422028&tstart=0
I can't add any more to this other than to say that long ago when I used WDS, I would swear that I had all the MAC addresses entered correctly, etc and would still have problems. So, I ask my wife to watch me and she immediately catches something like I entered a "l" (letter L) instead of a number "1", or a "O" (letter O) instead of a "0" (number zero).
Finally, there's always the possibility of device that is not holding settings...a defective device.
Hopefully, Tesserax will have some additional thoughts. -
the problem is that i launch the airport utility and it always says there is an update to 5.6.1, i click update and it launches the app store and tere are no updates available. i'm wondering if i need to reset or resetup my router but am afraisd if i do that i will loose all the files on my hard drive. I think this also may be related to why i am unable to use the remote app on my ipad or iphone for my apple tv (2nd gen) any input would be bvery helpful. i am now running mountain lion for my OSX
You must have upgraded to ML.. 5.6 airport utility is not actually ML compatible.. it will work but cannot be loaded as Apple ceased support at Lion. Hence why there are no upgrades.. you should not be using it at all. You are supposed to use toyland v6.1 included in ML.
I would certainly just ignore it.. having 5.6 is a great advantage .. it is a tool.. ML version is a toy. -
My airport utility no longer works, but I have just changed my router. Is there something I need to do ? The orange light shows up on my airport, rather than the green one it should have. Please help !!!
**** little info about your equipment.
If you just replaced the router with an Airport Extreme or Express:
disconnect the modem from power, disconnect the new router from power, connect the modem to power and wait till it os fully started up, then connect the new router to power. After a while the amber light will turn to flashing, then after a while it will turn to green. Then with AirportUtility (in Aplications/Utilities) it should be configured with the password. -
Just bought an Airport extreem for my windows xp. Need Airport Utility v5.5.3. When I go to apple downloads it comes back page not available, try later. Whats up. Is there another way to get this utility so I can get started?
AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows - Support - Apple works fine for me as well as a test.

I can still connect to the wifi signal with my computer but it won't stop flashing amber until i fix this issue
Have you configured the wireless on the Time Capsule? Do you have the wireless port enabled on the computer? Are you connected to the wireless network of the Time Capsule?
In Airport Utility using the Wireless panel here's what it looks like on my AEBS:
In your Network preferences you should see:
There should be a valid IP address for IPv4 that should begin with 10.0.1. -
I've got a WiFi singal from my AE but no internet and can find no instructions anywhere that are not full of undecipherable abbreviations that mean nothing to me . I've managed to bring up a screen showing tabs "Base Station", "Internet", "Wireless", "Network" & "Disks". Now what? I guess that Account Name and password on the Internet tab are my ISP login but what goes into 'Domain Name' for example? Is there a 'Dummy's guide to setting up Airport Extreme somewhere, preferably with screen shots and examples?
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results. -
There are no icons in my AirPort Utility window toolbar
I am trying to add a hard drive to my AirPort Extreme. Did the hardware hook up. I then went to the AirPort Utility to set it up. According to the Help, there should be icons in the toolbar. On my version of AirPort Utility (5.5.3) I don't see any icons. Any help would be appreciated.
When connecting a USB HDD to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, it should show up in the AirPort Utility on the Disks tab. The following is snapshot of my Time Capsule that has a WD My Passport USB HDD attached to it. Does your USB HDD not show up in the AirPort Utility?

HT4260 This article seems to refer to an older version of Airport Utility that no longer Exists.
The current version of Airport Utility on Lion does not look like this nor offer all the same setting options. I am having similar problems to others. Is there an updated set of instructions? I am using a Time Capsule as my primary base station and have been able to only connect one airport express via an Internet cable successfully. When I attempt a second airport express connection via Ethernet, I get error messages and sometimes disconnects from the Internet signals. I have a two story house with in the floor radiant heating, which means the floors are separated by concrete with copper piping for the hot water, so the need to use Ethernet cables and airport express units to get wifi signal to the entire house.
When I attempt a second airport express connection via Ethernet, I get error messages and sometimes disconnects from the Internet signals.
AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion will track with the instructions that you have there although it is much faster and easier to use AirPort Utilty 6.1 in Lion.
Here I am assuming that your AirPort Express is an 802.11n version and you are setting up the Express by using a short spare Ethernet cable connected to the Time Capsule first....and then moving it to the desired location after it has been configured.
I also assume that you have previously tested the Ethernet cable to the remote location by temporarily connecting a laptop, turning off the wireless on the laptop and checking to make sure that you can get a good Internet connection that way.
Please confirm and add any additional information that you think might be helpful. -
Steady green light on A1084. Mac OS X 10.7.5. IMac. Verizon DSL Actiontec GT704-WGB modem. Airport Utility 5.6 says set up is complete. Airport Express base station does not appear in the menu bar, so I cannot select it and send a signal to airport express to play airtunes through my stereo amplifier. Is there a fix?
I plugged a model A1034 Airport Extreme Base Station into the Verizon DSL Actiontec GT704-WGB modem with an ethernet cable and now the AirPlay icon appears in the Itunes window immediately to the right of the volume control and I can select it and play Airtunes wirelessly through the A1038 Airport Express Base Station in another room connected to a stereo amplifier by a Monster mini-to-RCA left/right audio cable running from the output jack on the A1034 Airport Express Base Station into the CD jacks on the amp. The problem is that I have to select the Apple Network Airport Express Base Station as my network in order to select the Airport Express Base Station when I click the AirPlay icon, which means I have no Internet signal to the Imac. If I select the Airport Extreme Base Station or the Verzion modem as my network, then I have an Internet signal to the Imac, but the Airport Express Base Station is grayed out when I click on the AirPlay icon, so I cannot select the Airport Express Base Station and send tunes to the Airport Express. It would be nice to play Airtunes while simultaneously accessing the Internet. I don't understand your question about what program I am using for which I require AirPlay. I am not learned about computers in general, and even less so about Macs than PCs. I thought the program I was running was Itunes, and there was no separate program to run to use AirPlay for the purpose of sending a signal from the Itunes on the Imac to the A1084 Airport Express base station in a another room, and then out as described above to the stereo amplifier to listen to Itunes music remotely in the other room, without any kind of cable, wire, etc., connecting the Imac to the stereo amplifier. I would guess that the most common use for the A1084 is to play Itunes through a stereo in another room without the need to run wires from the computer to the stereo. I realize it would be easy simply to run a very long mini-to-RCA left/right audio cable across the floor connecting the Imac to the amp without the need to use AirTunes, Airplay or any kind of AirPort, but it would be both unsightly and a tripping hazard.

The Time Capsule is not providing a wireless connection.
When I reconnect my Time Capsule after a factory reset, the Airport Utility shows ther message"Unexpected error. Try again." I also get this if I cancel the Airport Utility app and restart it. I performed the factory reset again, restarted the Airport Utility and received the same error. What are the steps to debug and fix the wireless problem?
My Time Capsule is connected to my FIOS router and to my Mac Mini. I am still able to connect to the Internet from the Mini via ethernet. It seems that the Time Capsule acts as a bridge for the ethernet connections between Internet to FIOS, FIOS to Time Capsule, and Time Capsule to Mac Mini.Which model TC is this? The A1xxx number from the base please.
Try the setup in full isolation from the network.. so unplug the TC from the network.. and turn off wireless in the mini.. so you have mini--ethernet--lan port TC.. and nothing else.
Do the factory reset.
Now check if TC comes up in airport utility..
If it fails, turn on ipv6 local link.. if you are using 6.3 utility this could be necessary.
Still fails, try loading the v5 utility.. you will need to plug the computer back into the FIOS to get internet. Then depending on OS.. Lion according to your profile.. you can just down the utility.. ML takes more steps.
See below.
Do you have an iphone or ipad.. download the airport utility app and use those for the setup.. that can sometimes work better.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.
