IPhone 4S not recognizing my Airport Extreme

My new iPhone 4S is not recognizing my Airport Extreme while my iPad2, Macbook, Mac desktop and Apple TV all are able to see and successfully utilize my network. My iPhone 4s is able to see other networks and successfully connect with them, but just not the network associated with my Airport Extreme.  Can anybody help me fix this problem?

Im having exactly the same problem.
Every laptop in the house and my ipad will conenct to my airport, but my iphone doesnt... in fact my iphone wont conenct even to another router in the house. Outside, on my work network, it works fine.
It displays the phones client number in the airport utility, but no data is transfered nor does it ever connect - just the scrolling circle continuously.
Reset the router, restored my iphone. I've done everything...
Anyone? Its doing my head in.

  • Printer not recognized by Airport Extreme

    I recently purchased an Airport Extreme that I'm trying to use to network a USB HP Printer (PSC 2410) and an external hard drive for access by a Macbook Air and a Windows laptop.  I had the printer working for a day with the Macbook and then it is no longer recognized from the Printers in the Macbook; the printer never got recognized by the Windows laptop via Bonjour but I'm mostly interested in trrying to at least make sure I can get this working with the Macbook.  The printer works fine if plugged directly via USB into the Macbook.  I have searched forums and tried the basics - made sure I had latest firmware, restarted the Airport Extreme and the printer multiple times, reset printers in the Macbook, etc. but no matter what I do I can no longer have the printer be recognized when connected to the Airport Extreme.  Also, I've noticed people talking about a printers tab in the Airport Utility, but I do not have a printers tab in the Airport Utility (version 6) on the Macbook.  Any ideas would be very much appreciated about how to get the printer recognized again in order to use it wirelessly.  Thanks!

  • Time Machine Harddrive not recognized from Airport Extreme anymore

    I've recently updated my Mac Book Pro (Mid 2010m 8GB) to OS X Mountain Lion. Already before I used an external Harddrive attached to Airport Extreme (Airport Utility 7.6.1) for Time Machine Backups. The Backups worked well, even after Migration to OS X Mountain Lion (10.8).
    The Haddisk had always been visible from the finder and even an jailbreaked Apple TV. But this changed just yesterday with Finder and Airport Utility just not able to recognize the Harddisc anymore. I tried several things including:
    - unplug the Airport Extreme for 1 hour from AC
    - Reset/Restart Airport Extreme via Airport Utility App
    - Reset Airport Extreme to factory settings and starting over with configuring the network again
    - Turn off/on the respective Harddisk
    Neither action was successful so far - while the drive can be accessed via direct USB connection still. The respective drive is Mac formatted (journaled) and - as already mentioned - had been working in this setup all the time (1 year at least).
    Thank you very much for any hint/tip helping me to solve the problem!

    Hi Pondini,
    I've seen this before - but TM used to work for me this way very well.
    That's kinda the point -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
    However with my question it is not about Time Machine - it is about why my Harddisc is not anymore recognized by my Airport Extreme base station. It had been working since more than one year now - and then all of a sudden Airport Extreme stopped to show me the drive.
    Try repairing it, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.  Note that you have to repair both the disk and the sparse bundle the backups are in, separately.

  • Iphone will not connect to airport extreme in N only mode?

    My iphone was unable to see my airport extreme for local wi-fi. I chnahged my setting from "N compatible only" to "N with g,b compatible and it suddenly showed up. Is this a limitation of the iphone that it will not see 802.11N (only) routers? I could not find any documentation or internet tips on this topic. Thanks!

    I have done that several times.
    After entering the network ID, selecting WPA and password, the iPhone displays the msg: Unable to connect to network, but my network name (with the padlock) will show up in the list of available connections (after clicking "OK" on the dialog box) although my network is set to not broadcast.
    FWIW: I can connect to other unprotected networks.

  • Time capsule not recognized by airport extreme - first time setup challenge

    Air port utility not recognizing time capsule. We have airport extreme and time capsule (recent purchase to back up 2 wireless mac laptops and the G5 which is connected to the modem). Modem is conected to airport extreme and I connected the Time capsule via ethernet as I thought the speed would be 1GB and faster than wireless "n." Somehow now the airport extreme does not recognize the time capsule. In the network utility, airport is not listed, only ethernet and firewire. What steps should I take to enable time capsule to back up the laptops wirelessly as well as the G5 (non-wireless.) Thanks!

    I would hold the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 5-10 seconds and I would wait to connect it to the AirPort Extreme to see if you can set it up. If you can access the Time Capsule with AirPort Utility then I would plug it into the AirPort Extreme and continue your setup.

  • HP Laserjet 1020 is not recognized by Airport Extreme(2nd gen)

    Per instructions on the manual, I hooked up my HP Laserjet 1020 to the USB port on the Extreme, hoping to use it as a network printer for 4 computers.  It does not show up on the printer list and everything I have tried, including updating drivers and software, still does not work to have it show up.  I'm wondering if this is one of those HP printers that does not work with the extreme. 
    Is there someone out there that has any ideas how I can get it to work, I would really appreciate any advice.  Thanks.

    I spoke too soon, sort of. While the information I got from the Sonos website is accurate, and did indeed help in getting things started, the external HD with the enclosure I bought still isn't working! I even went so far as to reformat the drive last night, even though it was already formatted correctly. Just tried a few minutes ago, and nothing...  The permissions look exactly as they do on the other disks so I'm not sure of what's up. At first, I thought that maybe Apple changed something about how the Airport Extreme sees externals, such as they must meet specific network based criteria... but then I tried a several year old iOmega portable Go drive, that I hooked up via micro USB and it worked immediately.
    Now I'm wondering if there really might be something to what you said, about the enclosure. Is there a precedent for such an issue? Has anybody else here experienced this?  But the wacky thing is that this external with enclosure was working perfectly not too long ago. So what has changed? I moved, and set up a new network. That has changed. But aside from that? I tried earlier firmware versions, and that did nothing. So either an OS update or my enclosure is all of a sudden wonky... even though it works perfectly otherwise? VERY confusing.  BTW, the enclosure is a Rosewill.

  • Wired switch not recognized by Airport Extreme

    I recently found that my wired Linksys 4 port switch quit sending data to my Airport Extreme. The lights that referenced the connections in the back were on steady (all the lights). I tried rebooting the APE and depowering the switch to no avail. I figured that since it was working before the switch must be bad. I bought an 8 port D-Link switch, and the same thing happened. So now I wonder, is it the Airport Extreme? The wireless works great but I can't get any wired connections to work. Any thoughts?
    I have also run the airport admin util, switched the Wan and Lan cables and put new cable from switch to APE.

    You don't say which model of the Extreme you have. I'm assuming it is the new 802.11n. If it is the new 802.11n you can't use Airport Admin Utility to configure or manage it. You have to use the new Airport Utility. Second there should be enough LAN ports on the AEBS to eliminate the switch.
    I don't use a switch and never have but wouldn't you want to run internet source to Extreme's WAN port and then an ethernet cable to from one of the Extreme's LAN ports to the switch.

  • WiFi on touch not recognizing my airport extreme

    okay well i know a lot about my network and such, researched it for a while to set it up, and i must say it runs very nicely with my two wireless enabled macs. it consists of an airport express for music streaming which is also used to extend the network created by my airport extreme N (fast ethernet version). i had problems with my ipods wifi for a wihle so when i redid my network i looked at a lot of things, i lowered the multicast rate to 2, i put it on channel 11, and of course it is set to b/g compatible. is there anything else i should know to help get this working properly?

  • Windows XP PC not connecting to Airport Extreme

    I am having trouble with my Windows PC recognizing my Airport Extreme. It was working great at one point because I could see the shared external HDD and my printer using Bonjour for Windows. Now it's like it doesn't exist. PC still connecting to the internet fine, but can't see the peripherals. I'm getting a 6753 error or something like that. Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same issues and it's more frustrating because it used to work, then my PC crashed and now that I have it back it doesn't work. I'm getting the error. I got it back up and running twice but it's spotty, it keeps disconnecting and not working.

  • Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will - Help

    Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will without problems.
    iphone will connect to base station no problems, I've restored settings and started again but still the same, the iphone picked up the network for the last couple of months, but not now ?

    I'm having the same issue. My AExpress used to give a good signal strength on the far side of the house extending he network created by my Extreme. However, I've noticed lately that my iPhone does not receive the same strong signal it once did. AE has a green light, I've rebooted it, and my Extreme but there is no change in signal strength. Other than the green light, how can I tell if the Express is working if I don't get a good network signal?

  • IPhone 5 not recognized by iTunes 12

    Hello all,
    I have an iPhone 5, I'm running iTunes 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1). Over the last few days, I've noticed that my iPhone is not recognized by iTunes or even Yosemite itself. I have already tried everything in this doc: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support, to no avail. I've been combing the communities and Google to no avail. Does this mean I need to try a manual restore on the phone? Any other solutions?
    Thanks

  • HT201302 iphone is not recognized as an accessible device by your windows 7 or 8 pc?

    Despite the fact that itunes has no problems accessing the iphone nor does a 3rd party paid app like "iExplorer", the iphone is not recognized as a device by Windows (7 and 8). The support bulletin referenced is inadequate.

    Hi James,
       I'll give you steps so it'll be easy to read.
    I suggest having your phone plugged into a working USB during this process.
      1. Open up your Device Manager (run/use command line devmgmt.msc or look for it by sliding open your charm bar located on the right of your computer screen, selecting PC Info, and then on the left hand side of your PC Info window, click "Device Manager"
    2. Once you are in your device manager, look at the above tab (It should say File, Action, View, and Help) and Click View. Click "Show Hidden Devices"
    3. Look for "Portable Devices", and click it. There should be something similar or exact to "Apple iPhone".
    4. Right click it, and select "Update Driver Software..."
    5. Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
    6. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
    7. Click "Show All Drivers", then click "Next"
    8. Click "Have Disk"
    9. Type in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    10. Click "Browse", there should be a file that says "usbaapl64" RIGHT click it and click "Install"
    11. From there it should install. Open iTunes to make sure.
    Please let me know if my directions are not clear enough, it took me some time to figure out what I was doing myself. I wish you the best!
