I have just brought airport extreme and am unable to get connected to wifi

I have just brought Airport Extreme. The amber light keeps flashing, despite plugging it into the modem....what is wrong?

Did you run the first-time setup in Airport Utility?

  • I have an older Airport Extreme (disc shaped) that we use with my wife's PowerBook (OS 10.5.8) and my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4).  We currently only have Airport Utility on her Mac, but I want to upgrade the utility so I can use it on mine.

    I have an older Airport Extreme (disc shaped) that we use with my wife's PowerBook (OS 10.5.8) and my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4).  We currently only have Airport Utility on her Mac, but I want to upgrade the utility so I can use it on mine. Which version of the utility will work on my MacBook, and still control the older Airport Extreme?

    if I update the Airport to the latest version, and "control" it with my MacBook Pro, will the older G4 still be able to use the signal from the new Airport?
    Yes. Your G4 shouldn't have any difficulty connecting to a Wi-Fi network provided by the latest 802.11ac AirPorts as they support the earlier radio modes that the G4 uses.

  • I have a new Airport Extreme and an old airport express.  I am getting an amber light on the new Extreme and a green light on the Express.   I have internet no problem but the status light is blinking amber

    I have a new Airport Extreme and and old airport express.  I am getting an amber status light on the Extreme and a green light on the Express.  The Extreme is blinking amber all the time.
    I have internet and everything seems to be working.
    I have reset and pulled the power cord on both the extreme and the internet block
    How do I make it Green?

    If things seem to be working OK, but the amber light is flashing......the AirPort Extreme has a message for you. To see what that might be......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
    Click on the amber dot in the small window
    It might be a message that a firmware update is available for your AirPort Extreme.

    In the good old days of Snow Leopard, an open Finder folder had a border along the bottom of the window which could show the number of items in that window and the total available space on the hard disk or partition that folder resides on. That bottom border is gone in Lion and those two bits of information are gone with it. Is that what you're talking about? If so, I'd like to learn how to get it back too and "Show Item Info" is not the way.

  • HT4587 My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to wife, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?

    My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to WIFI, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?  Everything was working fine until about two weeks ago, all of the sudden airplay has disappeared from the iphone, itunes on the laptop, and the apple remote for iphone.  I have restarted the router many times, re-setup the airplay speaker and the airport express and booth are showing as being properly connected to the router when I log into the router IP address.  I was on the phone with Apple support for 30 minutes they blames verizon, got on the phone with verizon and they stated the settings were all correct and compatible with apple, got back on the phone with apple and they again are blaming verizon and trying to get me to get an airport extreme because that would fix the problem...any suggestions, please!

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

  • I need to share a file with sec.(windows based). She uses it all the time. I need to just download updated version every few days. I have an old airport extreme and was hoping to attach an external drive. Will this work?

    I need to download an updated version of a file every few days to use. My secretary  works on the file all the time. I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this. At work we alll use pc's. How can i make this work? At the moment we use usb stick to transfer which is getting to be a bit of a pain as the file grows every week. Presently 5GB.

    I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this.
    Yes, you can use either the 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to attach an external USB HDD for file sharing. Either AEBS model would allow you to share out this HDD to either Macs or PCs. From the PC, the shared HDD would appear as a network drive which you can map via Windows Explorer.

  • I have a new airport extreme and can't set ip up

    Hello, first of all I have to say that I'm from Argentina so forgive my English mistakes.
    I recently bought an airport extreme and I can't set it up with the airport utility. I have windows 8, I download the Airport Utility and a message says that an error occurred while trying to access the apple device. The Airport has flashing amber light. And I read the manual in English and Spanish and could not find the solution.
    I can access internet but only with this laptop and in unsecured way.
    Please, someone can tell me what to do.
    Thanks.

    Be sure that you've installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows:

    Connect the AirPort Extreme directly to your Windows 8 computer by Ethernet cable and then run AirPort Utility.

  • How can I delete the history of wireless connections?  Need to delete it entirely, as I have a new airport extreme and I named the network the same as it had previously been,

    How can I delete the history of wireless connections?  I got a new apple extreme, and I kept that same network name as I previously had with the LinkSys.   Now the Mac won't automatically connect to the network.  Genious Bar fixed my Pro, they said that you have to delete all the history, not just the network name.  I wasn't at the Genious Bar to see how they did it, now I need to fix the Mac.  Appreciate any help!

    Yes, so...
    I have also closed iTunes, reset network settings on the iPad, then shut down and restarted the iPad. Still, I end up with greyed out rectangular icons for all the movies I've ever streamed from my Mac Mini to my ipad via my home wireless router.
    Again, I have watched all the way to the end of the movie, selcted the movie in iTunes and chosen "mark as watched", and then deleted it in ITunes.
    Any ideas?

  • I just changed the channel on my Airport Extreme and now can't get the Airport Express to recognize the network.  What do?

    I changed the channel on Airport Extreme to get away from interference.  Now I can't get my airport express to recognize the network.  What do I do?

    I would suggest that you perform a "hard" reset on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), and then, using the AirPort Utility, reconfigure it "join" or "extend" the AirPort Extreme as appropriate for your networking requirements.

  • Moved AirPort Extreme and now it won't connect to the internet

    I have moved my base station on previous occassions with no problems--plug and play if you will.
    I just moved it to a new location and while the computers in the house recognize the wireless network with no problems, the base station no longer successfully connects to the internet.
    I have plugged my MacBook Pro directly to my cable modem and confirmed that the internet still works perfectly well to the house. Plugging that same cable into the base station does not bring the internet up.
    I've used the AirPort Utility to act like I'm starting from scratch.
    I've chosen Manual configuration and replicated all the data from the MacBook's succesful hookup with no success.
    I have manually reset the base station and tried the above again, no success.
    Any other ideas? It seems too coincidental to me that there could be an actual hardware issue (everything was perfect right before I moved it (I know, I know--that begs the question, why'd you move it? I should say everything was good, except for one room in the house received a weak signal, so I wanted it to be more centrally located)) that arose just as I moved it. My guess is I just need a little tweak to a setting or something but I can't say I understand what all this DHCP stuff is about.
    Thanks for your help!

    Most cable modems require that you power them off whenever you switch the Ethernet connection from one device to another. The cable modem will refuse to communicate with the new device if you do not do this.
    Did you power off/on the cable modem when you switched the connection from the MacBook Pro to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)?
    Some cable modems have a reset switch for this task.
    Some cable modems have an internal battery which must be removed to do this reset.
    Sometimes the cable modem must be left turned off for several hours or even overnight to reset equipment back at the ISP's office.

  • HT5569 I am having trouble connecting to my wifi.  I put in the password (the correct password) and it tells me that it is the wrong password.  I just purchased this iPad and cannot seem to get connected.  My laptop connects with a pin not a password.

    I just bought a iPad and am trying to set it up.  I have WiFi at my home but cannot get on with my iPad.  My laptop asks for a pin number to join and the iPad asks for a password.  I enter the correct password and it tells me that it is incorrect.  I have talked to my WiFi carrier and they tell me that they do not know what it could be.  Can someone please help me figure this out.

    connectng with a pin # will not work with the ipad. you need to find out exactly what the actual wifi password is.
    pin and push buttons are used by wifi protected setup. which is an optional feture of WPA
    here are some ideas
    go to the routers home page (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254) and see if you can click on "show password"
    get the manual out, it should have the default user name and password you may need to access the routers page
    if your windows computer connects, then you should be able to right click the wifi connection and click on show password as well. this is somewhere in the properties page of the wifi connection
    also with windows its a good idea to click on "save wifi connection to usb drive" this can be used to connect other windows computers and xbox game consoles as well
    if your laptop computer is a mac book you can go to the keychain or icloud keycahin and reveal the actual passowrd as well.
    look at the actual router it might have directions on a sticker on how to access the routers configuration pages
    if you enter the wrong password on the ipad you need to forget the network and try again

  • I have an Airport Extreme and want to extend my connection and have a printer connected to the express. How do I do this??

    I have been looking on all the forums to see how this can be done. I would like to do this wirelessly as the Extreme is on the first level and express in the office with the printer. Could someone please walk me through the steps to do this. Can I connect my speakers wirelessly to the express as well?
    Thanks

    Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on how to configure your AirPort for an extended network.
    Can I connect my speakers wirelessly to the express as well?
    No, not by a wireless connection. They would need to be connected to the AirPort Express' audio port using an appropriate (analog or digital optical) cable as required by your speakers.
