Have installed the latest Airport software update. Still no wireless

I was hoping that Apple would fix the can not connect to wireless problem, I installed the latest airport software update but still have the same problem. 10.4 works great but 10.5 will not connect.

Mine is a long and sad story. I have ComCast cable connected from their modem to an Asanti 4 port router. Connections around our little office area are by ethernet. I then have one router port connected to an Apple snow airport. Out of the office area we use the wireless LAN. All of our PC laptops, our PC desk top and our MacBook Pro (running 10.4) will connect through the snow airport LAN when need-be. All of the aforementioned computers will connect to our city-wide free wireless network, Metro-fi Free. Everything works perfectly except my FW800 running 10.5. For now nothing is incripted. If I turn on my airport card I can see available 6 neighborhood wireless LANs, Metro-fi and the snow base station. I installed 10.4 in a separate HD and booted up. It connects perfectly which means my computer and airport card must be OK. The problem is in 10.5 for sure. I tried to check the update you are supposed to see when opening the airport utility but of course the utility says it can find no AirPort base station. I have reinstalled 10.5, run Diskwarrior and TechTool Pro and found no problems. If I did not have such a bunch of stuff in my system HD I would go back to 10.4. What have I overlooked??

2Wire and the Latest Airport Extreme Cards

After searching the MacBook and Airport forums, I know a lot of folks out there are experiencing this. I purchased 3 MacBooks, two new White 2.0 GHz C2D and one refurbished 1.83 GHz. I can't get the new ones to log onto the 2Wire network. The refurb has no problems. A 17" PowerBook has no problems.
The software for the refurb and one of the 2 GHz MacBooks are all up to date. Those two were set up in another location and were logged into another home network. I'm getting suspicious about the firmware loaded into the MacBook's AP cards.
The 2.0 GHz MacBook Airport Extreme firmware version is 1.0.27p3. I don't know what the 1.83 GHz firmware version is because that one is far away with its recepient (I'll have to call him and find out). My PowerBook and G5 Airport Extreme cards both use the same version: 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18).
Does anyone out there know if there are any differences between the Airport firmware loaded in an older MacBook (MA254LL/A or FA254LL/A) and the current ones (MA700LL/A)? If there is, it looks like the the current models are incompatible with 2WIRE wireless networks. Apple, what did you folks tweak between the original MacBooks and the current (late 2006) ones and can we please get an Airport firmware update that either regresses back to that or fixes this issue?

Opus_Maru, Welcome to the discussion area!
There is no way for the user to directly affect the version of firmware being used by the AirPort Extreme card or the built in 802.11g wireless capability. The firmware is updated silently and without any notice when an AirPort Software update is applied to the Mac.

HT204057 I have the latest airport extreme. can not access the files.

I have previously time machine backups for two macbook pros on same drive.
However, I connect the drive to the airport extreme and although I see the drives and the backups, I can not access the files over Airport Extreme.
What am I doing wrong?

You can't access a Time Machine backup that way. Connect the drive directly, hold down the option key, and select Browse Other Backup Disks from the Time Machine menu.

Does the latest airport extreme (A1521)support VPN, WCCP or proxy configurations?

First of all can I enable WCCPv2 on my airport?
And where is the proxy settings so that I can offload DNS caching
Can I add vpn client for a vpn services (https://www.privateinternetaccess.comy)
I saw this but asking anyway

The answer is no to all of your questions.. airports support none of those things.

Airport Extreme Update 2007-003

Hi All,
I have yet to download the latest Airport Extreme update. Update 001 caused me to be without internet for over a month. 002 fixed the problem. I'm afraid that 003 might screw it all up again.
Does anyone have any insight? I'm on a 2-wire router, running Tiger on a MacBook Pro. I would really love to hear any positive / negative feedback you have. Particularly if you're well versed in wireless!
Thanks a million in advance!

> Can I do harm if I were to download the update and it was already installed?
No, the installer will say if it's not required/relevant.

Existing files on drive connected to latest Airport Extreme do not show up, however files copied over the air to the drive do. Any ideas?

I have the latest Airport Extreme with a Seagate drive connected. I copied files to the drive while it was connected to my MacBook Pro. The files do not show up when connected to the AE, but they appear when connected to the Macbook, Files copied over the network to the drive appear. The drive is formatted HFS+.

After playing with this for the last few days, I found a solution. Under the "Disks" tab in Airport Utility, the "Secure Shared Disks" drop down needs to be set to "With device password". Mine was set to "With acounts", which even after correct authentication, none of the files would appear.
Another interesting note: The files that I could see, the ones I copied over the network, do not appear now. I can copy over new files, and they show up, but the ones copied prior to changing the "Secure Shared Disks" option, do not.

Windows 7 with latest AirPort Extreme

I have just bought the latest AirPort Extreme. Set-up using airport utility on all my apple products worked like a charm. I then installed airport utility and updated it in my old windows 7 laptop.
- airport utility on windows 7 cannot detect the wifi network
- windows 7 can however see the wifi network when I go to network properties, but it cannot connect to it
- I tried shifting the AirPort Extreme from WPA 2 to no security, and windows 7 still cannot connect nor is airport utility finding the network
- I tried changing the channel on the AirPort Extreme to channel 11, still nothing
My old laptop on windows 7 has a b/g wireless card. I am afraid the AirPort Extreme is not compatible with b/g, or if it is, do I have to set it to it, and if so where?
Any other tips as to what I could change in the settings of the AirPort Extreme or windows 7 to either have airport utility see and connect to the network, or connect through windows 7 network properties?
Thanks
Philippe

On one of your Macs, run the utility, select your base station and click the edit button. Select the wireless tab,
Then click the Wireless Options button
Pick Radio Mode and see what works best for all your systems.
Hope this helps.

Latest airport extreme noise issues

Just received the latest Airport Extreme. Worked perfectly for 2 days and still does. But, started emitting the noise that others have described, sort of like the static or popping from an old radio. However, continued to work normally. Noise lasted for about an hour and nobody was using the network. It has been quiet now for about a day. The unit continues to perform normally. Are there any other recent updates on this issue?

No, it is not common.. but anything with internal power supply will occasionally have a loose inductor.. with your 50 or 60hz mains buzzing through it.. a loose winding can make strange noises.. some caps can also make noises.. the incoming AC is rectified to 300-400v DC is a lot of volts and stresses a poor component. There is also a mechanical fan.. and fans are also a source of all kinds of noises. I would say this is entirely a hardware fault and has nothing to do with firmware.. so it is not going to be updated. It is simply going to need replacement.
If it starts again.. in fact I would power off the AE overnight.. and power up cold the next morning.. and do that every night for the next week.. if it ever does it again.. return immediately to apple for replacement.. The build quality of the AE and TC is less than spectacular.. my first new AC model Time Capsule lasted less than a week. Replacement is fine.

Guest Network not working in latest Airport Extreme

Just bought the latest Airport Extreme (802.11ac), and want to enable the Guest Network.
- Installed latest firmware
- Set Airport in Bridge Mode
- Enabled Wireless Network
- Enabled Guest Network
There is no connecting to Guest Network (iphone) and if possible (macbook) there is no internet.
With a previous version of Time Capsule, the Guest Network in the same setting worked like a charm.
Anybody seen this before or is the Airport Extreme working different than a Time Capsule?

According to the theory what you are saying about the A1355 is not possible.. ie there is no guest in bridge.. I have tested it and can assure you it did NOT work.. it fooled me into thinking it should and I spent many hours working on it.. our forum expert here.. Bob Timmons set me straight.
Now I am always a believer in voodoo and gremlins and maybe the tooth fairy when it comes to wireless.. it is about 80% of the above and 20% science.. so please do the test again and see if it is possible.. but I can assure you.. apple have set guest network to off in bridge.
There are ways around it.. complicated methods. ie if you extend wireless to your TC.. from another apple router where the router is on, then guest can be used. You can also use a managed switch to set vlans for the guest.
See the following which I used to research this topic.

Latest airport utility update won't let me rename 5GHz network?

The latest airport utility update changed the name of my 5GHz network and won't let me change it back, anyone else having this problem?

You might want to take a look at AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion. It is very similar to the previous version of AirPort Utility.

Yes, you can have both 6.0 and 5.6 on your Mac and choose the one that you want to use. I think you may find that while 6.0 is fun to look at, 5.6 provides a lot more functionality.

Fitting drive from dead TC into latest AirPort Extreme

I See that the latest AirPort Extreme is the same design as the time capsule and on tear down it shows the empty hard drive bay. My 2012 time capsule has died but the drive is fine so I wondered if I could put it in an AirPort Extreme which wouldn't cost me so much? Any experts out there who can answer this?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

The Extreme has no hdd fittings.. so if you put the hdd into the extreme you would also need to solder on a surface mount connector.. and obtain the correct cables.. which are non-standard. ie no shop or internet site has the cable you need. So this is fundamentally a hack job beyond the hackers dreams.
Sadly death of the Gen4 hardware is very hard to fix.
If you have a dead Gen4 carcass why not have a go at reflowing the solder.
I gave some instructions here.
https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair/gen4-a1409-issues
I have no long term info on if the repair is successful.. It will take a few more goes and a few more successes and a year or two of operation to know if the problem has been solved. I would have pursued Apple to replace it, via purchase of an item on which you could extend warranty via applecare like the Apple TV as I suggested.
If you want to use the hard disk in a TC.. the Gen3 is more reliable. It is the same board as the Gen4 with a somewhat poorer wireless card. You can often pick up second hand Gen3 very cheap.. and use the hard disk in that. The speed over network of Gen3 is same as Gen4 and not that different to Gen5.
Or do what most people do and simply buy a USB holder and use the hard disk in that. You can buy cheap holders for a few dollars from stores like OWC.

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. Any suggestions?

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. The light on the Express is flashing green though. Does it mean I have to re-set the settings on Airport Utility? I.e. the old settings haven't been cleared yet. Any suggestions?

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

Sudden increase of AEBS issues? Is it linked to the latest Airport updates?

Is my impression correct that AEBS issues of a certain type (a) have suddendly increased and (b) seem to correlate with the latest Firmware Updates for AEBS?
I posted already a problem (no LAN functionality, I have no access to printers etc). I was wondering what you think about.
Further, does somebody know how I can revert the FW Update 5.7 and go back to 5.6?

"Sudden increase of AEBS issues? Is it linked to the latest Airport updates?"
We are not allowed to ask that question. Remember, it must, must, must be our fault - we have to be careful about that. Well, I guess that if someone who leans to the right politically, can still question the actions of the current president - then I guess it is OK for Mac lovers to question Apple - so I take back what I said at the top.
