I have AirPort Extreme connected for Wi-Fi.

I have had great luck with my AirPort Extreme to run internet on my Mac-Book Pro until the power to the unit was accidentally flipped off. Now, the modem is connected and the unit has a green light, but I can't connect to the internet on any computer in the house. I have unplugged and checked with the cable company, but it still is not connecting. Any advice?

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).
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.

  • I have Airport Extreme as the base unit and an Express unit in a room separated by a brick wall to improve signal. Express shows a green light indicating signal but my iPad does not perform well. How can I improve other than hardwire ethernet connection?

    For example, you might find that the brick wall is not the only problem. There may be other devices pumping out enough wireless interference to be making things even worse.
    I agree with Bob Timmons that Ethernet is best and most reliable. And that powerline (which I use) is easier and potentially faster than wireless...but only if your power lines do not have electrical devices plugged in which produce electrical noise on the line. Powerline will be slower than Gigabit Ethernet.
    Ethernet cable is the only way to ensure that the signal goes directly there in a shielded way for a clear fast signal. Wireless and powerline are much slower because of all the other things the signal has to fight past to get to the other device.

  • I have a Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it.  The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network.  This is a pre-intel computer.  Do I need an antennae?

  • I have airport extreme and have windows 2003 what program do i down load for airport utility

    can any one help i tried one but was for windows 2007 no good need it for windows 2003 i have airport extreme just bought it today

    Ok thanks for the info - I am only familiar with Windows so I am going to suggest a typical setup using your Toshiba laptop - you can then use the network with any device - tell me if this works for you.
    Determine which version of Windows that your Toshiba uses.
    Go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/#peripherals
    You will be downloading Airport Utility
    Download version 5.6.1 for Windows 7 or
    Download version 5.5.3 for Windows XP or Vista
    Once you have done this let me know if you will be using this Extreme as your primary router after your modem or is your modem also acting as a router or do you have another router anywhere in your network

  • Can you have two airport extreme connected in the same network?

    You can have two airport extreme connected at the same time in a network?
    like if you have a modem, you can connect two airport extreme in that modem?

    You can have two airport extreme connected at the same time in a network?
    Yes
    like if you have a modem, you can connect two airport extreme in that modem?
    Airport Extreme
    You should plan to connect one AirPort Extreme to the modem and the second AirPort Extreme to the first. The first Extreme will connect to the modem using an Ethernet cable. The second Extreme can connect to the first also using an Ethernet cable, or it can connect using wireless only.

  • I wanted to know whether i can diffuse music to the bluetooth only speakers from a airport extreme-connected hard drive through my mac?

    I'm interested in the new soundlink mini Bose wireless speakers that function only via bluetooth. I wanted to diffuse music to them from an airport extreme connected hard drive through my macbook air. I don't want to stoc music on my mac given the limited flash drive and don't want to go though wires again. Is that possible? Also I can't go with airport express since those speakers don't have the airplay function.
    Thanks a lot for your help or ideas

  • Which Airport Extreme Card for 1.25Ghz 17"

    I am trying to purchase an Airport Extreme card for my 1.25Ghz iMac G4 17", but I seem to be finding a lot of iBook and other random Extreme cards, so I am lost which one is compatible with mine.
    I found this one that also is combined with a Bluetooth card. I would love if this is the right one or if it will even work because i hate having to use the corded mighty mouse with it.

    Any info would really help me out. Thanks!

    This is the profile page for your iMac at EveryMac.com
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac1.25_17fp.html
    That linked product looks like this one, which is described more accurately below, and is not for an iMac G4
    http://www.megamacs.com/item/Apple-AirPort-Extreme-and-Bluetooth-Combo-Card,-Par t--A1126/view,4073062/criteria,airport%20extreme/
    This is the correct AirPort Extreme card for your iMac G4 model
    http://www.megamacs.com/item/Airport-Extreme-Card/view,3471750/criteria,airport% 20extreme/
    It does not include Bluetooth. The best way to add Bluetooth, if that is important, is with a USB Bluetooth adapter. This is the one that Apple officially approves for use with Macs that do not have built-in Bluetooth.
    http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DBT-120-Wireless-Bluetooth-Adapter/dp/B00006B7DB
    Since that G4 iMac has USB 2.0, you may want to consider a USB wireless adapter as well, instead of the AirPort Extreme card. Here is one, sold by OWC (a Mac-oriented vendor).
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP802NU2C/
    It (probably) costs less, and it uses the faster 802.11.n standard (compared to 802.11g used by the AirPort Extreme card). You will have to install driver software, but that is provided with this adapter and it supports Panther (10.3.9) or later. And you don't have to open up the iMac to install it. If you get a different brand, make sure Mac OS X drivers are available for that product.
    The advantage of the AirPort Extreme card is that (once installed internally) nothing appears connected on the outside, and no additional driver is needed.

  • AirPort Extreme Drivers for Windows XP???

    This may be a very silly question, but I've got a new Mac Pro that will be arriving in two days and I couldn't help but wonder, "How will the AirPort Extreme WiFi card be able to connect to the Internet when I'm running Windows XP from a separate hard drive using Boot Camp?
    The Internet connection in my apartment is wireless only (coming from a router upstairs in my landlord's part of the house). Are there any AirPort Extreme drivers for Windows XP? If so, I have not been able to find anything online.
    Any suggestions on how to do this?
    Thanks,
    ~Greg

    Thanks for the info Stefan,
    However, I don't think that the Macintosh driver CD will do me any good in this case because I am not planning on running the 32 bit version of Windows XP. I will be installing XP64 tomorrow once my CD arrives in the mail.
    I've heard of quite a few people who are currently running XP64 on their Mac Pro's, but I'm also pretty sure that the driver CD created by Boot Camp will only work in Windows XP 32-bit.
    If ANYONE knows of a work around for installing macintosh drivers for my super drive and airport extreme, PLEASE let me know, because I will most certainly need to be able to use my wireless card and keyboard (especially for the CD tray)
    Thanks,
    Greg

  • I have airport extreme as my base, how do I use linksys as the extender

    I have airport extreme as my base, how do I use linksys as the extender

    You would need to connect the Linksys to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) by Ethernet, and then, configure both of them for a roaming network.

  • I have airport extreme and just purchased a D-Link DCS-932L home network camera.  D-Link says I need UpNp but the extreme doesn't support this.  Can I use port mapping?  if so anyone know how to set that up?  thanks

    I have airport extreme and just purchased a D-Link DCS-932L home network camera.  D-Link says I need UpNp but the extreme doesn't support this.  Can I use port mapping?  if so anyone know how to set that up?  thanks

    Since the D-Link DCS-932L is accessible on the local network via a web browser, you should be able to access this camera from the Internet if your router has a publically accessible Public IP address. If your ISP provides you with a dynamic Public IP address, you may want to use a DDNS service to make it easier for you to locate your camera whenever your ISP changes your IP address.
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).
    Select Manual Setup.
    Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
    Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
    Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
    For Service, leave the default; this will change to "Custom" once you start entering port values.
    In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your camera. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, enter the appropriate port values that should have been provided to you by the camera manufacturer. Click Continue.
    In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "Internet Camera Access," and then, click Done.
    Click on Update.
    To connect to the shared Camera from a remote location using a Mac or PC:
    Start your favorite web browser.
    Enter either your Public IP address or DDNS-provided Domain Name, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 7 of the previous procedure. For example: http://123.123.123.123:8888 or http://www.mydtdnsdomainname.com:8888

  • Purhasing an Airport Extreme especially for controlling WiFi in my house.

    I am thinking about purhasing an Airport Extreme especially for controlling WiFi in my house. To protect/limit internet use of my childeren.  Not just a single guest account but perphaps 2 or 3 with different time settings is this possible?  To my opinion it would be ideal to control it via the airport because there is no need for software and via an administration account I should be able to modify the settings

    Do you perhaps know of any good parenting tool / app that I can install on the Ipad mini of my childeren.
    As LaPastenague says, Apple expects you to set restrictions like this on the device itself. You will select a passcode when you establish the settings that you want. Only you will be able to change the settings that you have selected.....unless you provide the passcode to someone else.
    On the iPad....
    Tap Settings
    Tap General
    Tap Restrictions
    See Allow, Allowed Content, Privacy, etc.
    For more information about this, you need to post in the iPad support area. The link is here:
    Using iPad
    As far as allowed times, again as LaPastenague notes, Timed Access will allow you to do this for any device that connects using wireless.
    For example, you could limit the use of the iPad to the hours of 3 PM to 8 PM Weekdays and 8 AM to 11 PM on Weekends.
    Another device could be programmed to use the same "rules", or you could establish different "rules".
    At the same time, you could specify "Unlimited" access for your own personal computer, etc.

  • Can airport extreme connect using a mac mini.  the base station is not recognized so i cannot configure it manually

    can airport extreme connect using a mac mini.  this airport extreme wont connect to internet via my cable modem.  I cant set it to bridge mode because it doesnt appear as a base station in airport utitlity...help

    First, is your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) a 802.11n, 802.11g, or 802.11b model? Second, what is your primary goal for using this base station? Finally, is the AEBS the only router in your current network configuration?

  • Where can i buy an airport extreme card for my powerbook

    Where can I buy an airPort extreme caed for my powerbook? are they even available, if not how can I go wireless ?

    eBay is a good source, though as ever, buy wisely and make sure you get the right card for your specific model.
    Alternatively there are wireless cards available that go in the card slot. Again eBay is full of them but be sure they're OSX compatible -  its a good idea to put this phrase in your search terms.
    I can vouch that this one works as I'm using it now:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAGEM-PCMCIA-AIRPORT-54MBPS-WIRELESS-WIFI-CARD-MAC-OS-X-/4 00124141388?pt=UK_Computing_Apple_Mac_Accessories&hash=item5d2941df4c#ht_3229wt_ 886
    It just plugged straight in and was recognised as an Airport Card. This is from the UK site but I'm sure you can find the same thing wherever you live, or at that price just have it shipped.

  • Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

    Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

    This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
    In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

  • Airport Extreme card for Powerbook G4 12"

    I want to get an Airport Extreme card for my 12" Powerbook, however, am a little confused as to which one will work with it. I am currently running a 867Mhz PowerPC system. I have seen two part numbers for the Airport Extreme card, A1026 and A1027. I was hoping that someone might be able to clarify the correct one I need, thanks.

    behappysomeday, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Those cards are both the same thing. Either one will work.
