Iphone and Airport Extreme not working....

I have no internet access on my wlan home network (airport extreme).
My iPhone cshows steady wlan connection. Close to useless though since I cannot connect to the internet. Other network services are running fine though: Remote for Apple TV and other network apps. If someone can solve this riddle plz post....
Oh btw: Sometimes - every few hours or so - the iphone seems to punch through and connect - but only temporarily.
Is this some strange address conflict???

As suggested by someone on a different forum, I tried downgrading the firmware to 7.6.1. By doing so, the problems disappeared and WPA2 only mode works correctly. I will file a bug report with Apple.

AirPort extreme NOT working, dropping signal and SLOW!

My macBook is having serious problems connecting to the internet and retrieving mail. My service is real slow and sometimes not even showing up as my wireless network. I have a cable modem, a Linksys router and Airport Extreme base station. I have turned ALL of these devices off and restarted them but still no luck. Any idea what do do next? Not sure if it is the MacBook not working or if it is the Base Station.
Thanks!

I'd focus on you using two routers. They must be set up properly to work together. I use three Apple routers in my network and it is fast and reliable. I used to have a Linksys 54G tossed in there but tossed it to the garbage.

HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

I tried updating software on my iphone and it did not work. My handset has had the picture of the usb cable asking to connect to itunes for hours and i can not switch my phone off or reset it. Please help!

I tried updating iphone software and it did not work. It just shows connect to itunes with usb cable on the handset. I have tried for hours to try and turn the hanset off and troubleshoot but nothing works. The connect to itunes display can not be over-ridden.
Please help!!!

oh and the device is not being recognised by itunes now either.

AirMac Extreme and Airport Express not working with Netgear N Router?

I've been using an AirMac Extreme (old model) as a wireless router, and Airport Express for it's airtunes functionality (conected to my Hi-Fi).
These used to work fine, and both would show up in my Airport Utility on my Macs.
I've now just upgraded to a 50MG broadband contract, and the engineer gave me a Network router as my old AirMac Extreme couldn't handle that bandwidth.
When I connected my AirMac Extreme to my Netgear router I then got conflicts, sometimes it wouldn't show up, and it really slowed down my wireless signal. As a result the contractor for my broadband recommended I disconnect my Air Mac Extreme from the router. Speeds went up for the internet, but now I can't get my airtunes to work.
What I want to know is can I just use my Netgear to transmit the broadband signal so I get maximum internet speeds, but then have my AirMac Extreme and Airport Express connected so that I can still listen to my itunes wirelessly?
Ideally I'd like this to all be set up so that I could be conected to the internet through the Netgear wirelessly and listen to my itunes through the Airport Express at the same time.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I am sorry that I don't have a definitive answer but I also have Windows computers and I have "inherited" some older Apple devices from my son and am trying to learn about them so in addition to searching this group, I "Googled" "1st generation airport express" and it listed many specific posts in this group - I read them all and they might answer your question - good luck

New Airport Extreme not working with my Quad Macpro

Hi all-
My Linksys 902.11b router finally died and our household is now completely Mac-based (all with Airport Extreme cards), so I decided to take the plunge and get an Airport Extreme.
2 of the machines on my home's network are doing fine with the router and are getting good speeds - iMac Dual 2.4 (10.5.1) - Both the wired and wireless connections are solid with this machine / Macbook Dual 2.0 (10.5.1) - Both the wired and wireless connections are solid with this machine as well.
I have a Macpro Quad 2.66 machine running 10.4.11. I cannot upgrade to 10.5 yet on this machine since it's being used in my recording studio business and there are known issues with some of my apps and 10.5 at the moment.
The Quad can see the network and has seemingly strong signal from the Airport Extreme BS, but DHCP reception is inconsistent (the machine often eds up using a self-assigned IP for some reason) and IP connectivity in general is inconsistent, even when an appropriate static LAN IP is manually setup. I can often get to a few webpages while using a manually config'd IP, but only with very slow DL speeds and then the connection quickly disappears and drops out entirely.
The AExtreme is setup like this: DSL Modem-->Airport Extreme (config'd with a static IP from my ISP) -->DHCP broadcast dummy IP's to my network. Currently I've not setup any security since I'm in the process of troubleshooting and I don't want to further complicate the situation. Radio-mode on the AExtreme is set to 802.11n (b/g compatible)/Channel 1. I've tried numerous config setups on the AExtreme, but none have helped the situation.
I've also disabled IPv6 on all clients per some reading on the forums of possible issues.
Anyone know what the problem might be? Is it perhaps an issue because the Macpro's using 10.4.11?
FYI, I've also also got an extra Airport Express around that's not being used that could be used as a repeater/wired connection downstairs if broadcast strength is the issue, which seems somewhat unlikely to me. I'm not sure how to config the AExpress to work in this capacity though, so if anyone could point me to a tutorial I'd appreciate it very much.
Thanks in advance.
Lee

I just did some more testing using an app mentioned here on the forums, iStumbler. The app offered these details:
- Signal Strength is between 45%-56%
- Noise is between 24%-41%
- Freq = 2412
- No websites load despite it's seeing the router and saying we've joined it.
I also did a screen capture of the iStumbler's screen in case that's helpful. There were several bits of info I wasn't sure about.
Here's the screen grab: http://www.pbase.com/infiniteposse/image/91793322/original

External hard drive connected to Airport Extreme not working on PC

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.9.1 and my work laptop, which runs Windows 7. I have a WD 2TB external hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme, with 1TB formatted for Mac and the other 1TB formatted in FAT format. My Macbook can connect to the drive and read/write perfectly fine, but I'm not even seeing the drive on my PC anywhere. I'm wanting to use the Mac formatted partition to backup photos and personal documents and the FAT partition to backup my work.
Is there a setup thing I need to do on either the Airport Extreme or on my PC to connect to have the drive visible? Both drives are setup to allow file sharing and my Airport Extreme is running version 7.6.4.
Thanks!

There are 3 different methods to establish a connection from your PC to the hard drive in this Apple support document:

Airport Extreme not working after downloading 10.8.3 on Mac Mini Late 2009

I downloaded latest upgrade OS X 10.8.3. This is onto a Mac Mini (late 2009). The Mini is hooked up to Cable Ethernet. I use the Mini's Airport Extreme to use as a Hub for other Apple devices to get onto the internet. I was enabling this through internet sharing through the sharing tab on system preferences. it has worked for years. I have restarted and tried several times. I do not know what to do . The names of the computers have not changed. I am a user not a whiz bang programmer type, it is very frustrating.

Hi, might try this...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.7 & 10.8…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Try setting up Internet Sharing in the new location.

Airport Extreme not working properly after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

I've been using the Airport on a home network to share internet between a Mac & PC via ethernet. I don't use wireless. My internet provider is comcast via cable modem. During the Leopard install the Airport asked for a firmware update to 7.3.2. So I installed the update during the transition. I lost internet connection. I resolved this by calling comcast- who reset my modem. This got the Mac connected again but not the PC. When I attempt to share the connection via the Airport utility, I loose internet again.
The error message is:
Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP address. Make sure your Apple wireless device is connected to your broadband modem or local network, verify your settings, and try again. If you still can't connect, contact your internet provider
What is a valid IP address? How can I determine what it is?
Also, I cannot see the PC on the network.
I've attempted going back to the previous firmware (7.3.1) but it didn't solve the problem
I'm connected to the internet now by taking the airport out of the loop and going directly into the Mac from the Modem.
Thanks Steve

Airport Extreme Not working, but Express is.

I am desperate for help.
I cannot get my AX base station to actually connect to the internet.
I get full bars. I see my CABLE MODEM lit up properly. But when I go to Safari, I get the NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS and it has yielded nothing.
I have been able to conect via the EXPRESS earlier today. But I am using it as a remote for a USB printer. And that, to my surprise, works.
And I know the AX card works because I am currently online via wireless on someone else's server.
I have configured and reconfigured my AX station to no end. It still won't get me on to the internet.
I am plugged in to the WAN due to the Cable modem.
Any help would be helpful.
Thank you in advance.
Al

We have to start from banal things and go further. You should configure Airport Extreme to use DHCP connection first (make the configuration thru Utilitys>AirPort Setup Assistant) . Check if you have choosen Airport Express network (the name will appear in menu bar under Airport Menu).
Try this first, and will see...

Updates to airport extreme not working

I am trying to add a new computer using MAC Address Access Control for my airport extreme. Every time today (tried 4 times) that I have tried to add a new computer: Access Control->+->entered the MAC address and description->update. The airport extreme goes off then on, but then the network cannot be found; I then manually restart the airport extreme, the network is located, but the new entry (MAC address for new computer) doesn't appear in the access control list. The airport extreme is version 7.5.2 and all is updated. The Macintosh I am using to update the airport extreme is running Mac OSX 10.6.7. Am I missing something?

It's a hassle, but might be worth a try to reset the AirPort Extreme back to factory defaults and then try the complete new configuration again.
If you decide to attempt this, you can reset the AirPort Extreme by clicking AirPort Utility - Manual Setup. Then click the Base Station menu item at the very top of your computer screen in the same toolbar area as the Apple icon.
Select Restore Default Settings.
No guarantees here, but this procedure has worked for other users who have reported the same issues.
