Ibook G-3 with old airport card can't see New Airport Extreme Base Station
I have been trying for a week now to get my G-3 ibook set up on my Airport Extreme Network. No matter what I do, I can't sign on to the network. When I put in the password I get an error message 3151. I have no idea what this means. I have read everything, restarted base, changed network password, trashed all airport and prefs on G-3 and reinstalled. Although my network shows up in the control strip, it doesn't show in the setup assistant. Please help if you can, I'm about to go crazy! Thanks.

Dear Duane, I did have 802.11b configured, but I had the WPA instead of WEP enabled. When I reconfigured my network, the clamshell was instantly able to join and use the network. I have many many questions about how to use the network to allow both computers to communicate, but I'll read up on it and I'm sure the answers will be there. You saved me $240.00 for the 1st hour and $160.00 for anything over that Techserve was going to charge me to come and set it up. I can't thank you enough. Everyone tells me not to waste money, but to save for a new ibook with System X, but I love my old clamshell and I'm going to get it a bigger hard drive so it can be upgraded to run OS X. It's the old 4 Gb one. I can't thank you enough for your solution! Now I can work on the laptop in my bedroom! I love Mac stuff and I knew the Extreme base station would work, regardless of what all the posters have been saying.

How many devices can I use with an AirPort Extreme Base Station?
How many devices can I use with an Airport Extreme Base Station? Devices included a mac, iphone, ipad and pc laptops.
The AirPort Extreme will support up to 50 wireless devices and 200 wired Ethernet devices. I would imagine that this would probably be adequate for most homes.

How do I set up a wireless network with an AirPort Extreme base station and two airport extreme but between apple devices either by ethernet
This Apple support document provides good general information on configuring different types of neworks using multiple AirPort routers.

In particular, you would want to focus on the information regarding a "Roaming Network" -
My Power Book G3 Pismo with an Airport wireless card running Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not connect to my new Airport
Extreme Base Station using WPA Personal/WPA 2 Person encryption. The Airport firmware is version 9.52. From
posts I've read online at different places indicates the Airport card should support the WPA encryption. Perhaps the problem
is the Base Station is using a combination setting and the fault is in the base station?
Thanks for any suggestionsPerhaps an inexpensive usb wireless adapter would work as well?
This is probably the simplest way to get the G3 connected to the wireless network.
I'll have to read up on getting an express and using it as a wireless bridge as I am unfamiliar with the concept.
The new AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal.
A new AirPort Express could be located close to the G3. The Express will pick up the wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme, then provide an Ethernet connection to the G3 though a short Ethernet cable.
This can work very well......IF.....you keep the G3 at a fixed location, since it will always be connected to the AriPort Express using an Ethernet cable.
I do have an old Linksys Wireless G router. I wonder if that would work?
In theory, yes. But it would have to use much older WEP "security", which is easily cracked in minutes using free tools available on the Internet. So, anyone who really wanted to get on the network could do so. It's an option, but not a very good one. -
How can I extend a wireless network with my AirPort Extreme Base Station?
Today I purchased a brand new, dual-band base station to replace my Belkin N router, as I have had a handful of firewall, coverage, and other networking problems in my house lately. First off, I really like this router and it was very easy to setup. My MacBook Pro could use both bands and established a 300 Mbit/s link very quickly. After tweaking various settings to my liking, I was also able to maximize the connections on many of my non-Apple machines and devices. I noticed that the range of its network was better than my Belkin's, but unfortunately, it failed to completely saturate the area sufficiently. Since the Belkin still works well enough, I was hoping I could bridge them together one way or the other.
The Belkin router does not support any bridge mode that I know of, but the AirPort Extreme should be able to join a wireless network and then extend that over WiFi and Ethernet, correct? I would like to place them at opposite ends of my home so I can get strong WiFi signals everywhere inside. However, when I try to get the base station to connect to my preexisting WiFi connection, it tells me that I can't extend the network and fails to join.
So is this possible? And if it is, how would I go about setting it up? I know it would probably be easier if I had a simple range booster such as an AirPort Express, but I didn't buy one while I was at Fry's since I hoped I could make use of the older Belkin. This is its product page, if needed. Thanks for any suggestions.

Sorry, but no. The AirPort Extreme Base Station cannot "join" a network like the AirPort Express or Time Capsule, but you wouldn't want to do this anyway because in this configuration these devices will only perform as wireless clients ... not routers.
Instead, the AirPort Extreme can either be extended or can extend another 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort ... or a very very few non-AirPort devices.
One option for your Belkin would be to connect it to the AirPort Extreme by Ethernet but this may not meet your requirements or be a desirable situation. Otherwise, you would need to get another AirPort to extend your current one. -
Setting Up Comcast to Work with the AirPort Extreme Base Station
I just set up Comcast high-speed internet through the cable modem and ethernet connection and it works fine. What I need is a step by step instruction on how to set up the connection through my AEBS. I've tried to configure using the Admin Utility, the AirPort Set-Up Assistant, the Network panel---all with no success. I'm not sure what to enter in the boxes or what to check. I've read the "Designing AirPort Networks" PDF and it wasn't much help.
The AirPort Network was working fine with the dial-up connection I had before.Voila! NOT!!!
I'm having the same problem trying to set up a friend's "new" Macs, and I cannot get them connected to the internet. I've also followed the same steps. I tried the resetting trick (unpluging, waiting, repluging the modem first, then the Airport Extreme Base Station.)
The DSL ISP is SBCGlobal. Their dsl modem is SpeedStream 5100. The AirportEBS is the about 4 year old white base station with the phone jack, and a WAN and a LAN ethernet ports. I'm trying to connect two iBooks and a MacMini.
Everything did fine for the past year with the modem in "regular" mode and only ONE Mac connected. When the new Macs were recently acquired, SBC techs said that the modem needed to be put into PPPoE mode so that multiple Macs could be connected at the same time. This was done. [The techs said in regular moden the modem does the authentication; in PPPoE mode the modem acts as a bridge and the AirportEBS is the router and provides the authentication. I am assuming the techs are coreect, but I don't know for sure.] The CAT5 ethernet cable from the modem goes into the WAN port on the AEBS. The computers all see the local wireless network set up by the AEBS.
However, when any of the Macs try to connect to the internet, the error message returns "No PPPoE server available." Resetting the modem and base station has not cured this. [n.b. Bypassing the AEBS completely by connecting the CAT5 cable from the modem directly to the Mac will provide internet connection.] Any other ideas? Sounds like both of us are having the same sort of problem. -
Define static IP for both LAN and W-LAN devices with an Airport Extreme Base Station
Hey guys,
I have a lot of different devices connected to my Airport Extreme Base Station (5th Gen) either wirelessly or via ethernet cable. Since I control some of them via VNC and currently have to find the corresponding IP-addresses through trial-and-error, I'd like to define static IP-addresses for the computers in question. My network consists of a cable modem connected to a TP-Link WR1043ND router in the basement, from which an ethernet cable leads to the WAN-port of the aforementioned Airport Extreme Base Station on the 2nd floor. Two of the devices I want to remote-access are wired to a D-Link DES-1005D switch, which in turn is connected to the 1st ethernet port of the Airport Base Station. The remaining 3 remote clients are connected over 802.11n. All computers run Windows.
My problem now is that even though I was able to define static IP-addresses employing the "DHCP only" router mode, this didn't seem to work for the two computers connected via ethernet. Not only did I lose any internet connectivity with those, I even lost the ability to remote-connect to them using the VNC-viewer.
The question now is: how do I specify static IP-addresses for my ethernet devices correctly?
I hope you can help me.My network consists of a cable modem connected to a TP-Link WR1043ND router in the basement, from which an ethernet cable leads to the WAN-port of the aforementioned Airport Extreme Base Station on the 2nd floor.
If you read the information in the other post, my answer would be the same here.
The Router Mode of DHCP Only is rarely used, and would only really be appropriate if your ISP was providing you with a fixed bank of multiple fixed or static IP addresses to use. This does not appear to be the case in your post.
If this were the case, the first IP address would be used as a Static IP address for your connection, and other devices on your network would receive the other fixed IP addresses.
99%+ of the time, you would use the Router Mode setting of DHCP and NAT on a network when you want the AirPort to perform as the main router for the network.
But......your post also indicates that you have another router upstream on your network from the AirPort Extreme. You would not want to run two routers in series on a network. That explains the problems that you are having.
The AirPort Extreme needs to be configured in Bridge Mode. It cannot be the "main" router on your network when you already have another router on the network. That is a fundamental networking rule. -
Ip8500 does not print with XP & Airport Extreme Base station (OK with Macs)
My canon ip8500 is connected to an Airport Extreme Base station. I can print from either Mac (a G4 and a new iMac 24") but no luck with either XP laptops (accessing the internet is no problem). I've installed both PC's with Bonjour but after a minute or so I get a failed to print message. Any suggestions?
They are simply obsolete. You cannot update their firmware to be compatible with new products. Buy something to replace them such as a couple of new Airport Expresses.

Hi there,
can anybody please advise me what needs to be done to avoid WIFI drop-offs every half an hour or 1 hours.
I use voip phoe calls a lot using my WIFI, However my AirPort WIFI connection drops-off while I am in the middle of WIFI VOIP calls. This is causing significant disturbance in my family.
Please assist.
In details, I have extended my WIFI range using 2 Apple Airport Extreme Base Station.
Main Base is - A1408 9 (5th Gen), and I have extended my WIFI in my L shape house by connecting another Apple AiPort A1354 ( 4th Gen) with AA1408.
Note1:
> when I am close to A1408 my iPhone4 connected with A1408 automatically
> When I am close ot A1354 , my iPhone4 connected with A1354 automatically.
Note2: these drop-offs never occurred when I had only 1 Apple AirPort Extreme Base station WIFI
I think, this Auto switching causing the slight drop outs in my Wifi when I am on the VOIP call.
Do you think that something is going wrong with my Apple AirPort Wifi extended?
Much appreciatedTo help eliminate drop-offs you need to ensure that your extended network is operating at its peak bandwidth performance. Base station placement is critical in an extended network. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details.

My Airport extreme and my airport express are not connecting together. I get an error message saying that my airport express software is not compatible with my Airport extreme and I have use them together for the past five or six years. It says I may need to change my IP address on my computer or something like that but I don't know what to do. the IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0. Should everything be on the same IP address? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Please refer to the information already posted above:
If you see A1084 or A1088 there, your older Express is not supported by the newer version of AirPort Utility that you have.
If you have another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC, then you could use that computer to administer the older Express and it will work on the network along with the AirPort Extreme.
If the Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard or PC does not "see" the A1084 Express, you will need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button for 10 seconds and waiting a full minute for the Express to restart. Then, reconfigure the Express again. -
Problem with my Airport Extreme Base Station (old model)
I have two computers connecting to the internet with an old AEBS via ethernet. One is a Powerbook G4 and the other is a MacBook Pro. Since performing a software update this morning, the older machine stopped being able to connect to the base station wirelessly (the MacBook is fine though). The error message I receive is "There was an error joining Airport network". I am able to connect to other unsecured networks in the area so I don't think there is a problem with my Airport card.
I connected my Powerbook directly to the base station with an ethernet cable. While doing so I was able to access the internet and Airport Setup Utility but once unplugged I was still not able to connect wirelessly.
I have tried restarting the base station both via the utility and by unplugging it. I have also restarted my Powerbook multiple times.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Sorry, should have asked exactly how old your PowerBook is. Apparently the faster AirPort Extreme card didn't hit the market until early 2003. Find your PowerBook "Specifications" by clicking on that link above in the Apple website menu bar. Picking at random from the list, the 1GHz model released Nov 2002 didn't have an AirPort Extreme card, but only the AirPort card, which means the slower speed 802.11b wireless. The two PB models released in Jan 2003 both were AirPort Extreme models.
You'll be able to use the PB, just open AirPort Admin Utility and change your network "Mode:" selector (at the bottom of the panel) to "802.11b/g Compatible" from 802.11g Only.

Can I extend a network with an AirPort Extreme Base Station Rather than with an Express?
Topic title pretty well sums up the question.
I have a TimeCapsule Base Station with two Expresses for extending the network through the house.
We're doing a 3 room addition, and there is not a convenient place to put an Express in a wall outlet in the middle room of the addition, but there's a perfect place to put an Extreme on top of a piece of furniture.
So, can the Extreme act as an "extender" only, in lieu of using an Express?pcbjr wrote:

Hiya.
You can absolutely extend a network with an Extreme. I've got a 5th gen. Extreme extending a network created with a 3rd gen. Time Capsule. On the Extreme, you'll have the option to allow (or not) WiFi clients. I recommend having all units updated to the current firmware (7.6.1 as of this writing). Note that extending doesn't work in daisy-chain fashion, meaning that your Expresses or Extremes will each connect to and extend from the TC. As such, you'll want the TC to be in as central a location as possible to offer the best coverage. -
On a regular basis connection is lost by al of the apple products connected to it even though signal strength is still showing to be good and its green light is still on. The only way to resolve seems to disconnect it from the power and then reconnect. All the apple products connected to it are more up to date than the bsae stationis this the problem?

I think it may have more to do with the older AirPort Base Station failing than it has to do with the fact that you have newer Apple products.
One option is to perform a "factory default" reset on the Extreme, and then, reconfigure as required for your networking needs. If after this type of reset, the Extreme still acts up as you described, it may be faulty or about to fail. -
Is there ANY way to get QOS with an airport extreme base station?
I recently moved and decided to go with Primus VOIP for my phone line. It works fine as long as i don't have any torrents going...if i do then call quality goes to **** (i wish someone would've told me before)
I was told to use a QOS on teh VOIP ports...but my airport extreme doesn't support this (and apparently neither will the new one). Honestly this is something Apple REALLY needs to fix. This is outrageous. They're supposed to be on teh cutting edge of technology, and their routers don't even won't properply with VOIP services??? That's ********.
Is there any way i could get this to work - perhaps thru software?
It seems the only solution i have is to get a Linksys router and sell off the airportSorry that this may not seem like an ideal solution, but one option is to use an application that runs on a Windows PC that allows you to format HDDs for HFS+. Once formatted as such, it can be shared out to either OS X, Windows, or Linux users from an AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule. HFS+, like NTFS, supports much larger HDDs.

I understand that I can extend Airport Extreme wirless "reach" with an Airport Express, but how? I've read through the posts and they say to "connect" the Airport Express. What does that mean, to an outlet, to an ethernet cable, what?
I understand that I can extend Airport Extreme wirless "reach" with an Airport Express, but how?
Enable the option on the AirPort Extreme to "Allow this network to be extended"
Then configure the AirPort Express to "Extend a wireless network"
If you do it this way, the AirPort Express connects to the AirPort Extreme using wireless only.
If you have the ability to run an Ethernet cable from the AirPort Extreme to the AirPort Express and leave it connected permanently, that will provide better performance than the "wireless only" type of connection. -
Airport extender with a airport extreme base station?
What kind of a wifi extender should I get for my airport extreme model A1408. What works the best, and is trouble free?
I am assuming that you are asking about extending by using a wireless connection between the AirPorts. That can work OK if the extending Airport is located where it can receive a strong signal to extend.
The better performance option is connecting the AirPorts together using a wired Ethernet cable connection if possible.
Another A1408 would be ideal.....IF...you need the extra Ethernet ports and the ability to connect a hard drive to the USB port on the extending AirPort.
If you don't need the "extras", then an AirPort Express would be the next best option.
Setup of either model is very quick and easy.
