I cannot reach my Airport Extreme with the Airport Utility.

I used to have my Airport Extreme as a LAN Switch and I had an USB-2TB-Disk plugged.
Now I wanted to use my APE as an extension to my WLAN, so I choosed my APE in the Airport Utility and wanted to set it to its default settings.
After that I'm not able to reach my APE again. Always I choose in the Utility the APE by «Other Airport-Basicstations...» it ends to an error. :-/
Can anyone help me pls?

Acually I don't know how I fixed the problem, but I was able to make the settings by my iPhone 4s.
After several restarts by press the reset-button of the APE.

    My iPAD can use the internet through my Airport Extreme, but the Airport Utility does not see the device so I can't set a guest password. 

    If your Mac is using the Lion operating system with recent updates, it will be necessary to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
    Select the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
    Click the Wireless Network Options button
    Remove the check mark next to Create a closed network
    Click Done, then click Update to save the new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart

  • Which airport is good to extend my wifi, what is the difference between the AirPort Extreme and the airport express base sstation

    What is the difference between the AirPort Extreme and the airport express base station and which one can extend my wifi router.

    With rare exceptions of a few older routers, neither one can extend a non-Apple router's network wirelessly - they are not designed that way - but you can extend the wireless network if the Extreme is hardwired to the router or you can connect wirelessly and join the network as an access point that will provide remote ethernet access but not produce or extend the wireless signal - here is a comparison of the Apple base stations - http://www.apple.com/wifi/

  • What is the difference between the airport extreme and the airport express?

    What's the real difference between the airport extreme and the airport express except for the price and the size? Does one transmit with more range?

    Range is about the same, maybe a bit better on the Extreme, which has better antennas.
    The AirPort Exreme has Gigabit (1,000 Mpbs) Ethernet ports and the USB port will support a hard drive.
    The Express has 10/100 (up to 100 Mpbs) Ethernet ports, and will not support a hard drive at the USB port.
    The Express has audio capability for AirTunes while the Extreme does not.
    If you don't need to connect a hard drive and don't need the faster Ethernet ports, the Express is a good value.

  • Using Airport Extreme with a Airport Time Capsule to update Blu-Ray player

    I was wondering if it were possible to hook up a blu-ray player to a second Airport Extreme to update the player? I have a Time Capsule in my home office and a blu-ray on the other end of the house. The blu-ray needs updates. I am wondering if I can use an Airport Extreme as an "extension" wireless unit hooked up to my blu-ray player to have it connected to the net?
    Thank you!
    John

    Welcome to the discussions, John!
    You have a few options to do what you want.
    Perhaps you were thinking of the AirPort Express when you mentioned AirPort Extreme. The AirPort Express can be configured to "extend" the main wireless network created by the Time Capsule and the ethernet port will be "live" so that you could connect to your BluRay player via ethernet.
    An AirPort Extreme would work as well, but you may not need the other extra ethernet ports on the Extreme and extra expense for features that you may not use.
    I take it that running an ethernet cable to the BluRay player is not feasible in your current situation.
    You may not have thought about the next option, which would make use of a pair ethernet powerline adapters. One device plugs into an AC socket at the head end and another plugs into AC at the BluRay end. The adapters use the wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal. You would run a short ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on your AirPort Extreme to the adapter and do the same at the BluRay end.
    This type of connection will almost always provide a faster signal than wireless, so you may want to check these out as an option. Best Buy will have several to choose from.

  • Can i extend the range of an airport extreme with another airport extreme and use the ports on the airport extreme i used to extend the network?

    That seems like a complicated question. 
    I have a Time Capsule (which the HD *****, but that is matter for another discussion) and want to extend the range with an Airport Extreme because I have 2 devices in one room that do not do wireless but have Ethernet ports.
    The room has iffy WiFy connectivity too.
    I want to know if the 3 ports on the Airport Extreme still work after configuring it as an extender rather than a router.

    The thing is that I want to know if I can put the Airport Extreme at the edge of the room where the existing Base does not reach.
    This will not work.
    Remember, an "extending" AirPort can only extend the quality of wireless signal that it receives. For that reason, it must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal in order to work effectively.
    For example, let's say that your "main" router was on one end of the house and you want to extend the signal to reach the other end of the house.  In this case, you would locate the "extending" AirPort about half way between the main router and the other side of the house.

  • How do i connect my airport extreme with my airport express

    how do i link my Airport Express with my Airport Extreme?

    Hello Bob -
    I have an Apple Extreme (5th Gen) and I have tried to extend my network with an Apple Express Model No. A1264 with the ethernet connection.  It does not seem to work, and has crashed my network twice.  When I did get it to work, the wireless crawled.  When I took the AirPort Express off of the network the speed went back up.
    Can this be done to extend the network, as I have the Extreme in the basement where the cable comes into the house, and I have two other floors that need wireless access.  Any suggestions for this older model AirPort Express? 
    Thanks.

  • Set up Airport Extreme with 2 Airport Express connected by CAT5??

    I recently bought an Airport Extreme base station and an Airport Express. My plan was to use to Airtunes with my AV receiver in my basement. Unfortunately, because the distance between these two areas is long (and separated by two floors) I'm not able to get a strong enough signal with the Airport Express to use Airtunes. I bought another Airport Express to put on the middle floor of our house but the signal in the basement was still not strong enough even with this addition.
    I do have a way of connecting the middle floor of our house with the basement area by a CAT5 ethernet cable. My plan now is to connect the two Airport Express modules by their ethernet ports with this cable. The Airport Express on the middle floor connects with the Airport Extreme base station wirelessly without any problems. My question is what is the proper setup for the 2nd Airport Express connected by ethernet in my basement.
    Airport Tech support said this could be done. They recommended setting up a new wireless network with the 2nd Airport Express by "fooling" into thinking it was connected directly to the router but using the same network name with a different wireless channel as my Airport Extreme base station. This setup actually works for several hours but then the Airport Express module that is connected to the Airport Extreme blinks amber. Interestingly the 2nd Airport Express with usually remain with the green light on.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to set this up regarding network configuration with the Airport Utility?
    Thanks

    That will work with as long as the AirPort Express (AX) is connected via Ethernet. The only other setting you need to make is to configure it to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address).
    If this one looses connection, then something is wrong with the AX or the Ethernet connection (cable and/or connectors).

  • Renamed Airport Express with the Airport utility, but iTunes shows old name

    I renamed my two Airport Expresses using the Airport Express utility because I have moved them in the house and the old names don't make sense anymore. In the AirPort Express utility, I can see the new names. However, iTunes (and Apple Remote on the iPhone) do not recognize these new names, they are still showing the old names. How can I get these devices to recognize the new names?

    Actually I have solved my own problem. I hadn't realized that the Airport Utility has essentially two names for each Airport. There is the name of the device as the Airport Utility sees it, and then a different name called the iTunes Speaker name (look under manual setup in the Music area). This latter is the name that appears in iTunes. As soon as I changed this, iTunes recognized the new name.

  • How do you upload firmware to Airport extreme with the following message: This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. I'm using airport utility 6.0

    The airport extreme at my parent's house has not had its firmware update in some time and it keeps dropping the internet connection and needing to be reset.
    I went to update firmware and opened up airport utilities (I'm running airport 6.0 on Mountain Lion, 10.7.4).  Everytime I open the airport utility I get the following message: "
    This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.
    I've followed the link and tried to update firmwares but none are available and the print says that airport utility will look to see if firmware are available and load them as necessary when prompted by user.
    One link said the only way to solve this problem is open up Airport Utility 5.6. I tried to do this, but 5.6 is not supported on Mountain Lion and couldn't be opened up.
    I'm getting the exact same message on my other computer, a Mac Air.
    So basically, can't download new firmware and am stuck with a ****** airport extreme that needs to keep being reset, a factory reset, in order to use the internet, but then continues to give me the same message.
    Thanks!

  • I want to replace one of my older Airport Extremes with the new model.  Any tips?

    I have 2 older airport extreems that are connected by a network cable.  They share the same Netrwork ID.
    I want to replace one of them with the new model as I want to use the old router on another project.
    Any tips out there for a no-issue switch?
    Should the newer and faster Extreme be connected  to the Modem or does it nt make a didfference?
    Thanks

    use the new router as your primary router with the modem - this will be a factory  install from the default configuration -   as long as you use same network name password and type a password that you used for the express in bridge mode, you should be able to plug it in and have it work like before.  just make sure that you configure everything individually and then power all devices down and repower each one individually starting with the modem then the router in the express and that should work 

  • I use my ps3 online gaming, is the airport extreme or the airport express be compatible with ps3? Is it going to be a better connection compair to other router? Which one is a better choice for me, airport express or airport extreme??

    I bought linksys EA3500 router. Its still in the box and before I open it I want to learn more about the apple airport router, is the apple going to work with my online games with ps3? I have iPad, 2 iPhones, apple tv and Mac mini.  If the airport express or airport extreme is a lot better and will work for ps3 which one should I get?

    Airport will work with PS3.  From what you've stated, the Extreme is more than you need.  Buy the Express.

  • Can I extend the range of my Airport Extreme with 2 Airport Express units?

    I am using Airport Extreme as my basic router. I have connected 2 airport express units (all new since 12/09) to extend the network about 300 ft into another building to a PC. I am receiving about 65% signal and only one of the express units is extending the signal. Previously I was able to extend the network with a Netgear router and one D-Link extender and achieved 85%.
    I would like to use the 2nd express to extend the signal of the 1st express which is extending the Extreme.
    If this is not possible, can I use something other than an express with the extreme to extend the wireless network?

    Here are the basic steps in setting up a static WDS. Please compare them to what you have done to see if there are any differences. Hopefully, this will give you a clue on what to try.
    AEBSn - WDS Setup
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)
    Main Base Station Setup
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
    o Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
    o Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base
    Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window.
    o Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the
    default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
    o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
    o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the base station you want to connect to this base station.
    o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
    Remote Base Station Setup
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as a remote base station.
    o Open AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
    o Select the remote base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Enter the base station password, if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
    o Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
    o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

  • Using an Airport Extreme with my AirPort Express as a new network?

    Hello.
    I am looking into buying an airport extreme as a replacement for a Netgear router that does not seem to work. I have an Aiport express already.
    So let me see if I can get this straight...
    I can have 6 computers (all PCs) connected (and a couple other devices like a TIVO) all connected to an airport extreme base station to the internet and 1 airport express set as a remote base station. All devices will be able to connect to the internet (3 computers plugged in via Ethernet on Airpot Extreme) and share printers/files/etc? Is there a limit to the number of computers that I can have (even if i am extending with an Airport Express?
    I would appreciate any help steering me in the right direction.
    Dell Laptop   Windows XP  

    Andrew,
    Yes you can do all those things.
    There is a limit on the total number of connections but it is very large.
    The Airport Express can be used in a number of ways.
    ...For music only - which is not a problem.
    ...Or as a wireless relay - using something called WDS. In this mode you can connect further computers to the ethernet port of the Airport Express. Or extend the wireless reach of the network.
    If your ONLY use for the Express is to connect a computer, its probably better to get a wireless card for it.
