I am trying to setup a wifi network in my house.....

I am trying to setup a wi fi around my house.  I used TC as the base and then connect airport express in a different part of the house.  I am now trying to connect and airport extreme, but it does not pop up on the computer, so I cannot link it.  Any suggestions?

We cannot really offer any specific advice until we understand more about the devices and computer(s) that you are using on the network.
I am now trying to connect and airport extreme
Are you trying to connect this device to the Time Capsule using wireless only....or.....using an Ethernet cable?
What is the model number of the AirPort Extreme?  Check on the bottom of the device if you are not sure.
What operating system are you using on the computer that is being used to configure the AirPort Extreme?
Have you performed a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme?

  • I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing wifi network

    I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing BT wifi network even though it is there with a good signal strength. The Time Capsule is connected to a Netgear router via ethernet.

    You will need to start over on the setup of the Time Capsule as follows:
    Disconnect any Ethernet cables that might be connected to the Time Capsule, but leave it powered on
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 8-10 seconds and release. The reset button is located next to the AC power socket.
    Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the Netgear to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.  The Ethernet cable must remain connected at all times.
    Click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Look for a setting of New AirPort Base Station
    Click on Time Capsule
    The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see Time Capsule on your screen.
    That will get the setup wizard going. It will take a minute to analyze the settings, then display a screen that looks like this, except you will see a picture of the Time Capsule
    Network Name..........Type in the exact name that the Netgear wireless is using
    Base Station.............Type in a name that you want to call the Time Capsule.  Use something short and simple. Mine is TC, for example
    Password..................Type in the exact password that the Netgear wireless requires
    Verify.........................Verify the Password again
    Click Next
    The setup wizard will configure everything for you automatically.  When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    That's it.  Now you have one big "extended" network.  Technically, this is called a "roaming" network.

  • Best Way to Have 'Extended' WiFi Network Through Long House

    HI, I'm helping a friend setup his wireless network at his house. The house is rather long & narrow.
    We setup a new Time Capsule at the far end of the house in the office. It functions as the base station, and needs to connect to the cable modem, 1 non-wireless computer, and a USB printer back there.
    Then we setup a new Airport Express (n) in the middle living room of the house. This was mostly to get extended range, but also to plug audio into home theater for AirTunes.
    The TC is set to a/b/g/n (for an older MacBook and two iPhones) 2.4ghz on a free channel. When connecting to it we get great speeds, but it does not have the signal to carry to the far side of the house. I even tried it initially as 802.11n ONLY at both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz with a new MacBook, but it still didn't seem to get a whole lot more coverage (not enough, at least).
    I tried setting the AE to either 'Extend My Network' or to 'Participate in a WDS'. In both instances, we get more signal at the far end of the house (not as much as I would have thought), but the speed is HORRIBLY slow! It is far less than half the speed. As soon as we move back in range of the TC, the speed is generally really good again (checking connection by MAC address).
    • So is there ANY way we can get coverage over the whole house for both 802.11n and 802.11g devices, and still have decent throughput??
    Thanks! Unfortunately they don't have ethernet running through the walls, otherwise I'd try that. And I'm terrified to think what the backup times might be like when we start trying Time Machine!

    Hmm, we could try seeing if having both in the center would provide enough reach. Not sure if it would. The problem would be wireless access for the computer in the back office (old iMac, no WiFi), and printing to the printer back there.
    • In this scenario, would adding a second Airport Express in the back room just for the computer and printer slow the network from the base station(s)?
    • What about putting just TC in center living room on a/b/g/n, and AE in back office for computer & printer? Pros/Cons? We'd just have to figure out a way to get the Airtunes in the living room (I'm pushing him for Apple TV).
    The reason for TC for Time Machine backups is very simple. I know this couple would not remember to regularly attach a hard drive to do Time Machine backups. It needs to be as 'automatic and painless' as the TC was 'intended' to make it, otherwise I know it just won't happen.
    Thanks again!

  • A tech company just set up a wifi network in my house and does not use my existing TC; how do I get it in the network to serve as backup for my iMac? (I don't need it as a wifi access point anymore)

    a tech company just set up a wifi network in my house and does not use my existing TC; how do I get it in the network to serve as backup for my iMac? (I don't need it as a wifi access point anymore) thanks

    Just bridge the TC and plug it by ethernet into the main router.
    Bridge in v5 airport utility.
    In v6 it is under network.. change it from DHCP and NAT to Off bridge mode.
    Turn off the wireless.

  • 'Alert: No Internet Connection' Error when trying to connect to Wifi networks

    Hi,
    I have a 13' MBP late 2012, reccently I've been unable to connect to any secured Wifi network after updating to the OSX 10.9.2,
    I've tried everything-
    - Restarting
    - Resetting the PRAM
    - an SMC reset
    - Restarting in Safe Mode
    - Repairing Hard Drive & Permissions in Disk Utility
    - And even reinstalling: Maverick OSX 10.9.2 (Combo) Update
    - I've even compared my laptops settings with my Sister's laptop who has also downloaded the update but does not have the same problem, they are all the same as far as I can see.
    The problem is prevelant in every Wifi network I try to connect to, the only reason I am able to connect to the internet at all right now is that I've disabled the WEP key setting for my router.
    It just keeps repeating the 'Alert: No Internet Connection' or a 'Connection Timeout' warning...
    Any help would be greatly appriciated!
    Thanks

  • I'm trying to hide my wifi network, but airport utility won't find my router even though it's working

    I got a Belkin N300 today, and had some trouble getting it set up but it's working fine with my Macbook and iPhone 4S, but I'm trying to hide my network to avoid hackers etc.  But I can't even access any of its set up as when I click on the utility icon it says it is 'unable to find any wireless devices'.  What do I do?

    Most routers (besides Apple ones) are able to be setup by entering their local IP address in the address bar of your Internet Browser.
    Try entering http://192.168.1.1 in your Internet Browser and see if that gets allows you to change your router settings.  I just looked up Belkin and they also sometimes default to http://192.168.2.1 so you might try that as well.

  • Trying to connect to wifi network hosted on PC

    I'm trying to connect my Mac to the internet through the PC (since the Mac cannot detect the network the PC is connected to). I set up a wifi hotspot through Connectify, and sure enough it shows up in my Mac. Unfortunately, I get this window shown here: http://yfrog.com/jkmywifip.
    Huh? This isn't a Mac I'm setting up the wifi on; how can I even use Airport utility? Why won't the iMac ask me for the password to the wifi connection, and why does it give me a PIN instead?
    Please help; I really want to be able to access the internet on my Mac too instead of just on my PC.

    Okay, so I've entered in my password with System Preferences instead. Now I get a sudden spike or two in trying to connect with my laptop PC (http://img836.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20100719at746.png/) before things turn into a plateau again. As this screenshot shows (http://img829.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20100719at746.png/), I seem to be connected but without any internet connection.
    But Connectify on my laptop does think my Mac is connected/connecting (http://img839.imageshack.us/i/connect.png/), and internet sharing is turned on.
    What else should I do? It seems my Mac is connected to the PC, but it still cannot access the internet.

  • I am trying to extend my WiFi network from my TC.

    I have a Time Cap connected to my modem. I then have an Extreme which I want to extend the network. I then have an Express that I want to extend as well. Here has been my problem. I set up my TC to Join the network. Then When I try to set either of the other 2 extenders to "Extend Wireless Network" I cannot do it. The yellow light comes on in the Airport Utility and wants me to edit the Extreme or Exp. to "Join a Wireless Network". Can someone please help me as this has been making me pretty crazy for quite somw time. I have been using the WiFi, but once I am about 50 ft. from my modem I almost completely lose my sigmal.
    Many thanks,
    Bill

    Bottom line......the Time Capsule must be configured to "Create a wireless network".
    That means that it must connect to your modem/router using a permanent wired Ethernet connection.
    Once the Time Capsule is configured to "create a wireless network", then any recent version of the AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express can be set up to "extend" the wireless network and provide additional coverage.

  • Firefox crashes when trying to access WIFI network with security agreement

    When trying to access a WIFI network Firefox will crash immediately. If I use Safari, it will ask me if I want to continue to site 1.1.1.1, but suggests that it has an unknown certificate. Click continue and I am taken to a page where I need to accept the terms of use for the WIFI network. Once I accept the terms, then I can open Firefox.

  • Can't setup wifi network

    Hi Apple
    I have had major probs setting up my AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n (AEBSn) in the past, in the end i hired a home pc guy who also couldnt figure out AEBSn software but somehow managed to setup everything through windows control panel. Since then the product has been working fine... Until now. I've replaced my old laptop with a new PC and my Wifi network has dissapeared. The AEBSn still has a solid green indicator light, home network is functioning fine.
    I have and upstream gateway adsl2 modem plugged into the wall, running to my AEBSn (which i beleive is setup as a bridge with a static IP) which splits the internet to my PC, NAS, HTPC. All cables are cat6 and all access points are recieving a connection. Its just the wifi that isn't broadcasting.
    The setup manual doesnt say much, the apple aiport software ultilty recognizes the AEBSn as a 5th gen 802.11n. It assigns a name, airport ID and IP address. Current version 7.5.2. If i try to update from the main screen it gives me the 10057 error, if i try File>Configure Other it gives me the -6753 error.
    I have read this discussion
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3289924?start=0&tstart=0
    and i guess ill attempt to fix the 10057 error in hopes i will then be able to setup a wifi network.
    Actually if anyone can offer a workaround so i dont have to use the airport utility that would be great.
    Cheers

  • How can I configure my Time Capsule as a WiFi extension in my Belgacom B-Box WiFi Network?

    I'm using Belgacom B-Box that serves both my digital TV and the local WiFi network in our house.  Because of problems with the WiFi signal strength I bought a Time Capsule.  It is the purpose to use the TC as a WiFi extension throughout our house, and meanwhile use the backup functionalities.
    Of course I want to keep the B-Box delivering digital TV, and also WiFi, strenghtend by the Time Capsule.
    The setup of the TC always gives me "an unexpected problem has occurred" and than I need to reset it to the factory settings. 
    Has anybody experience in setting up this combination?  If you have, please give me a detailed answer, since I'm not a networking specialist :-)
    Thanks in advance

    It is the purpose to use the TC as a WiFi extension throughout our house, and meanwhile use the backup functionalities.
    Unfortunately, Apple designed the "extend" feature to only work with other Apple wireless routers, so the Time Capsule would not be compatible with the B-Box for the purpose that you ask about....using wireless only.
    If the B-Box has an extra Ethernet port, you can connect an Ethernet cable from the port on the B-Box to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule and configure it to provide more wireless coverage that way.

  • I'm connected to the wifi at home but no internet access. i was surfing on the same wifi without any problems. and also this issue is for other wifi network.

    hello everyone.
    i was surfing browsing and downloading on my iphone 4 on my home wifi and other places without any problem but today i found out that even though i'm connected to my wifi i got no internet access. i also got this new problem, my led flash is on.  if i tilt the device the flas dims a bit. i tried switching off the device but still the flash is on. i tried using at other wifi network same problem. i tried forget this network, switching off and turning on the device i also tried reseting the network and also hard reseting the device. but still same problem. what can i do about this? and if i send it to apple what are my options? i got warrant coverage so will they be able to repair it ? if they are not able to repair then will they give me new iphone 4 or refurbished iphone 4 for replacement?

    Apple does not repair devices.  If they are covered under warranty, the device is replaced.  You will not get a new phone, you will get a service unit which is as good as if not better than new.
    If all the basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide has been done and the device does not get Internet access via Wi-Fi from multiple locations, the only thing left is to take it to Apple.

  • IPhone 5 won't connect to any wifi networks

    I have had my iPhone 5 for aabout 3 months or so. And a few days ago, it stopped wanting to connect to wifi. I have tried connecting to other wifi networks, so it's not just our router. I have also tried turning LTE off, connecting, and turning it back on. That worked for a few minutes, then stopped. I have tried forgeting the network, and reseting my network settings. Nothing is working. Thanks.

    No, not yet. I've decided to just send it in to apple sometime soon.
