I have some how deleted my Airport Extreme and the Mac wont recognise it ...i have a 1st gen AE

Having purchased a Airport Express to extend my network the airport utility would not recognise it .....so tried to delete current settings and reinstall Extreme and express . Now it says that because of Maverick i cant reinstall the extreme ...very frustrating ...

What are the respective model numbers of your AirPort Extreme and Express? Examine their cases for a four digit number preceded by the letter A.

  • 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.

    This should mean a fairly significant increase in range with the new model.  I would imagine these changes would be consistent with the Time Capsule as well.

  • Some basic question of Airport Extreme and Airport Express

    As I know, my G4PB is installed Airport Extreme and it seems like working wireless Internet connection during travel. But which case do I need additional things like Airport Express (if I undestand this wireless technology correctly)?

    blue sky,If all really depends on what you are trying to achieve.
    If you wish to surf the Internet when you're out and about then you can just walk in to Starbucks, for example, and log-in - you already have all that is required.
    If you want to use the Internet wirelessly at home then the Apple Extreme Base Station, an Airport Express or much cheaper 3rd party gear can help (although some additional hardware may be required dependimg on how you connect to the Internet).
    If you want to surf wirelessly, stream music from iTunes to your home Hi-Fi and use a USB printer wirelessly then the Airport Express is the puppy.
    If you need to share an Internet connection as well as a network with many wired and wireless users then the Airport Extreme Base Station could help.
    Try reading the Airport Page to consolidate your ideas of what you want to achieve, or use this home networking wizard.
    Either way you should be aware that you don't have a Powerbook Titanium (On a Ti the ports are tidy on the back under a neat cover and it has a slim 1" thin design) but rather you have a PB Aluminium (ports scattered on either side and it's approx 1.25" thick!)

  • Have a problem installing my airport extreme and it is asking me for a dsn server

    STill ambar light

    We cannot breathe in vacuum.. !!
    What modem do you have? Make and model?
    What broadband method is used if the modem doesn't have this info?? eg, cable, fibre, adsl, wimax, satellite.
    How do you have the AE connected to the main router? What mode is it running or how are you attempting to do it?
    What version airport utility are you using and on what OS.. eg v6 airport utility on Mavericks, airport utility on ipad, etc.
    There are issues with new AE and old utility.. so windows no no.. and old mac OS no no. New AE needs the new Airport Utility.
    Give us something to work on and the solution should be fairly easy.

  • I have several questions: 1. When I connect my Iphone using Wi-Fi what can I then do? Why won't my Iphone recognize my home network run off of Airport Extreme, and the app Nike   Ipod sensor never activates.

    I went to Starbucks this morning and my Wi-Fi on my Verizon Iphone connected, what does this allow me to do? My Wi-Fi does not recognize my home network from which I connect wirelessly to my MacBookPro and to my Apple TV using Airport Extreme router, why? Lastly, what do about the app NIke + Ipod not working. The sensor does not activate even after walking a half mile.

    It might be best to ask only one question in each post otherwise you may never be able to mark them as solved.

    It should allow you to access the internet, read mail, etc.

    Try restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). It may not be properly assigning an IP address to your iPhone.

  • Airport Extreme and the Lacie 500GB mini firewire & usb no shut down issue.

    Hey there everyone out there in cyberland, I was hoping that some one could shed some light on this simple issue I am having. I connected my airport extreme directly to the Lacie mini and the fan on the mini never shuts off because it never gets to go into sleep mode. Besides letting shutting it off completely is there a way that the airport can have a direct energy saver so the hard drive does not lose life through the time it is on and spinning? Apple should look into this kind of app since they are trying to be as green as possible. I do not want to have to buy a mac mini to just run the energy save on board the OS there. Is there a patch of fix for this, I looked in the airport utility and there is nothing there so am I missing something?
    Thanks a million!

    Several other users have reported the same issue with Lacie drives.

    Nope. Sorry.

    Nope. No patch. Your only choice is call Apple Support (you have 90 days to do so for free from the date you purchased the AEBSn), and report the problem.

  • My Atv2 is  very slow movies and shows take forever to load it plays for a few minutes then pauses again. I thought if was a problem with my wireless router but I replaced it with a new airport extreme and the problem persists. Air play is just as slow.

    My Atv2 is very slow with both AirPlay and rented and purchased content I spoke to apple rep and tried the things he suggested but the problem persists. Now it requires more lead time then the lenght of material being viewed. I haves broadband internet connection and airport extreme router so I don't think this should be a problem. Lately every time the unit goes to the screen saver an error message come up saying there was an error while loading content please try again later and you have to all over again. It is extremely frustrating. Any suggestions? What speed of transfer should I expect using AirPlay ?

    I'm having the same issue.  Ay fixes?  Bought ATV today, music streams but videos don't and mirroring doesn't work either.  Start mirror and severe lag then just drops.  Been trying for couple hours. About ready to return it.

  • Is there a difference between the early version of Airport Extreme and the current model?

    I have an Airport Extreme I purchased in 2008.  It has a flat top.  Are the new models of Airport Extreme any improvement?

    Your model is able to produce a 2.4 GHz wireless network....OR.....a 5 GHz wireless network, but not both at the same time.
    Generation 2 through 5 of the AirPort Extreme feature simultaneous dual band operation, so both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network are produced at the same time. Your newer faster devices will connect to the 5 GHz band and the older slower, or mobile devices like an iPhone will connect to the slower 2.4 GHz band.
    This way, the slower devices will not slow down the faster devices as they normally would on a single band router like your Generation 1 model.
    In addition, Generation 2 through 5 also have a Guest Network feature, which allows you to set up a separate network just for "guests'. This way, the guests can connect to the Internet, but they cannot "see" any of the devices on your "main" or private network.
    The latest Generation 5 model incorporates a new antenna design which seems to provide better range and signal penetration as well.

  • I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use?

    I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use? Essentially having two wifi connection off the same network? If so how do I set this up?

    Extending using a wireless connection always results in a performance compromise.
    If the Express is going to extend using a wireless connection, then the Express will need to be located about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless coverage. The more that you have line-of-sight between the Extreme and Express, the better the network will operate.
    Remember......the Express can only "extend" the quality and signal speed that it receives, so it needs to be located where it can get a very good signal from the Extreme. Although Apple cleverly uses the term "extend", a more accurate term for the Express would be "repeater".
    If the Express will extend by connecting to the Extreme using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection......highly recommended for best performance.....then the Express can be located exactly where you need more wireless coverage. There is no signal loss at all through the Ethernet cable, so the Express gets a full speed signal no matter where it might be located.
    Post back to let us know which way to you want to go.

  • Shared library via Airport Extreme and Bonjour

    Hello,
    I share my itunes library via a new airport extreme on the Macs in my house. I would like to access the library via the windows machines (via bonjour).
    I have an external hard drive attached to the airport extreme. I have full access to this hard drive via the windows machines.
    I have my iTunes libary on this hard drive. iTunes on the Mac's access this library with ease.
    Thank you,

    it might be worth checking in over at the Airport for Windows forum:
