  • Hi I have an airport extreme base station And trying to dial on windows

    Ok I have a airport extreme base station the one with dial-up modem and power over ethernet. Well i have people PC as my provider, and can dial the connection on my macbook by using internet connect. but on my hp i can not. I have tried to create a connection type on it and cant figure out how to have it connect like on internet connect. tho i can go the admin utility and click automatically connect and click OK and it dials the connection to disconnect i re click it and click OK and it disconnects but i do not like it that way. So what am i to do and is their a internet connect app for windows. I have also contacted apple and hp and that did not help. Feedback welcome and is needed.
    Thanks to all that leave feedback

    If you are using dial-up.
    Jon Sevy has a Java Utility for this purpose.
    You will need Java in order to run the utility

  • I have an airport extreme base station and have no clue how to set up a private wireless network instead ton open one i have now.

    I have an airport extreme base station and have no clue how to change to a pawword type network from the network i have now that is free to the neighbor hood.

    Which version of the AirPort Utility are you using?

  • I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light.

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • I have an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (Simultanious Dual_Band) (MC340LL/A), and updated the software.  After updating no devices can connect via wifi.  Any suggestions.

    I have an Appl,e AirPort Extreme Base Station (Simultaneous Dual_Band( MC340LL/A.  After updating the software, no devices can connect via wifi.

    As suggested in another discussion area, (AirPort), I reset the AEBS to factory defaults. On the TV, I went to >Settings>General>Network>Configure Wireless>Wireless Networks. I could then see the generic "Apple Network xxxxx" on the TV. From my MacBookPro, I verified that I could connect to the TV by launching iTunes and noting that the TV was now visible in the "Devices" menu. Went back to the AEBS and ran through the "Setup" routine. I did NOT use the "Previous Settings" but instead, saved the old settings profile, created a new wireless network and new settings profile and enabled WPA2 Personal encryption. I then went back to the TV and went through the "Settings" routine again (as noted above). This time, after entering my WPA2 password, the TV connected to the network and problem was solved. Thanks.

  • Trying to connect a NetGear Wifi Range Extender to my existing Wifi. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I am also connected to a Vonage Phone Router. Any help would be appreciated?

    I am trying to connect a NetGear Wifi Range Extender to my existing Wifi. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I am also connected to a Vonage Phone Router. Any help would be appreciated?
    The Apple update Firmware for my Airport Extreme Base Station does not update for some reason? Help?
    Additionally, I have an older version Airport Express that does not update with the newer Airport Utility Version 6.3 and asks me to download 5.6 to update? Is this worth it?
    Thanks

    The netgear is not going to work very well.. and not at all unless it is universal wireless extender.. you cannot use WDS method.
    If it does support universal wireless then make sure the airport uses a rational SMB compatible wireless name.. not an apple name which is 35 characters long with spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe.
    So nice AE name.. AEwifi and actually while you are trying.. fruitlessly to do this.. use AE24ghz and AE5ghz (so different names on the different bands)
    Assuming your AE is gen3 or greater.
    You should also fix the wireless channel at least for 2.4ghz since the netgear is probably only going to repeat 2.4ghz so use channel 11, as a trial.
    And use no wireless security as a test.. if that works.. then use WPA1 & 2.. as often old equipment using WPA2 is not compatible.
    If it fails with simple name.. fixed channel and no security. Sorry it is not compatible at all.. it happens.
    If your AE is G wireless or earlier model.. really the time has come for replacement.
    If your Express is G wireless model it is not supported.. and is too old to bother with expect I guess if you want to run audio to a speaker.
    You must use older 5.6 utility to do this.. so do you have a computer running older OS.. up to Mountain Lion it is easy to install with a bit of manipulation.. later is much harder .. or windows computer anywhere or available to you.

  • HT4145 I have an Airport Extreme bas station now and I want to know if I can use an Airport Express to extend my network or do I have to use another Airport Extreme base.

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station now and I would like to know if I can use an Airport Express to extend my wifi network or do I have to use another Airport Extreme Base Station.

    This AirPort Express:
    http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/
    It is the only Express with 2 Ethernet ports. All others are "old"
    Apple does not specify a model number in their product information, but it is A1392 in the U.S. I do not know if Apple uses different model numbers in other countries.

  • Using Airport Extreme base station as wireless Cable router and airtunes.

    Can I replace my wired Roadrunner cable modem with a Apple Airport Extreme wireless 56g router removing the wired modem out of the picture?
    I just have read and have not come to the complete conclusion that the Airport extreme base station is a standalone wireless router.
    I would like this if it is a wireless standalone router as I want to but a pair of wireless airtunes router for music around the house keeping the Airport Extreme in my room where the airtunes routers would not be as I have the computer in my room and I have iTunes right there and would not need the airtunes routers in my computer room.

    Can I replace my wired Roadrunner cable modem with a Apple Airport Extreme wireless 56g router removing the wired modem out of the picture?
    The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) does NOT have a built-in DSL/Cable modem. You will still require a Cable modem in order to access your ISP's Internet service.
    I just have read and have not come to the complete conclusion that the Airport extreme base station is a standalone wireless router.
    The AEBS IS a wireless router, but it is NOT a combination wireless router & cable modem.

  • Have 2 airport extreme base stations connected in chain.  Airport utility shows slave unit without power. However, power is on slave unit, but status lights do not show up at all. Small green lights at each back port blink.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Have 2 airport extreme base stations connected in chain.  Airport utility shows slave unit without power. However, power is on slave unit, but status lights do not show up at all. Small green lights at each back port blink.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Unfortunately, you are describing the symptoms of an AirPort Extreme with a failing (or failed) internal power supply.
    As a last resort, try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Power off the AirPort by pulling the power cord
    Wait a minute or two
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
    Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
    Now try to configure the AirPort again.  If you continue to see the same symptoms as before, the AirPort will need to be replaced.

  • If I set up separate 2.4 and 5GHz networks on my Airport Extreme base station, is it possible to extend just the 5HGz network?

    If I set up separate 2.4 and 5GHz networks on my new Airport Extreme base station, is it possible to extend just the 5HGz network with another AirPorrt Extreme that has duel, but not simultanous, frequencies?

    Yes, configure the "extending" AirPort Extreme to connect to the 5 GHz network name when you set it up.
    Temporarily, locate the extending AirPort Extreme close to the main Extreme for the setup, then move it to the remote location.
    But, be advised that it is not easy to extend 5 GHz using wireless. You will almost need to have line-of-sight between the two AirPorts for this to work.

  • Hi Everyone, I am Sreedhar , I need to extend the Wireless Network which is connected through cable in Airport Express, Without Airport Extreme Base Station is there any way to extend my WIFI

    Need Help

    Let's see if I can get this straight.
    You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
    Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
    Correct?
    See this Apple document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.

    So you agree to the lose of the Airport Express removal has caused me to lose enough of a signal to make the Internet...
    Sorry but I'm not sure what this long run-on sentence is trying to say.
    You asked if the network could be wirelessly extended and that is what I replied to.

  • Apple airport extreme base station b/g (old model) and airport express

    i want to extend the range of my old airport extreme base station, the one that is a circular pyramid. I was wondering if the airport express would work or if I should get something else.

    Hello lvpd. Welcome to the Apple Discussion!
    i want to extend the range of my old airport extreme base station, the one that is a circular pyramid. I was wondering if the airport express would work or if I should get something else.
    Yes, you can extend the older 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) with the newer 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn). To do so, they would both need to be reconfigured for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

  • My mac froze and I was in an application. It asked me if i want it on safe mode and I hit yes. Now the app that was running is blurry. How do I get it back to the way it was before?

    Now the application is blurry

    Go to system preferences and select displays. Then make sure the default resolution for your machine is selected. If you don't know what the value is get MacTracker which will have it.
