Joining a network and NAS

Trying to set up a wireless network. I am on my macbook pro5,2.
I'm currently in Afghanistan and the way we get internet is through a wireless router with no security, once you join the network the first webpage has a username and password. Is there any way to connect my airport extreme to this network and be able to use any of the ethernet ports for my NAS QNAP TS-219 to become a part of the network? I also have a D-Link DGL-4500 that can be used if it is needed. Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

1- Is it possible to share a wired internet connection with my Slingbox, PS3 and Apple TV from an Airport Extreme that has joined the network? If yes, what do I need to do to make it work?
Unfortunately, the Ethernet ports are not enabled when the AirPort Extreme is configured to "join" a wireless network.
Ironically, the less expensive AirPort Express does have the ability to "join" a wireless network and deliver an Ethernet signal at the port(s).
2- Any idea why my first setup stopped working?
None that you probably have not already thought about. The most commons cause is a sudden power outage, or even quick power "blip" can sometimes result in the Extreme to losing some of its configuration settings. Otherwise, gremlins are hard to catch.

    Try power-cycling your wireless router (unplg for 30 seconds, plug back in).  Here's a longer list of troubleshooting steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.

  • Airport Extreme joining a network and sharing wired internet connections

    Hi everyone,
    My new ISP installed their modem/wifi router (Sagemcom) in my home two months ago. Since I share HDDs over the wifi network, I installed my airport extreme near the modem/wifi router and used it to "extend the network", and it worked fine until recently. It stopped working suddently with the yellow light flashing. When I tried to reconfigure it, I always got errors, needing to reset it even to be able to see it again in Airport utility. Honestly, I have absolutely no idea why it stopped working. I tried connecting the Airport Extreme with an ethernet wire to the modem with the same result. So, I decided to move the airport extreme in my living room and use it to share the internet connection with my PS3, slingbox and Apple TV, telling myself that a partly wired connection would improve the signal (since I also had an Airport Express in the living room extending the network before everything stopped working). Now, everything works; the green light is on, HDDs are available on the wifi network, I can only connect to the Sagemcom routeur but, meh, what do you want, BUT, my slingbox, Apple TV and PS3 can't connect to the airport extreme through a wired connection.
    Two questions:
    1- Is it possible to share a wired internet connection with my Slingbox, PS3 and Apple TV from an Airport Extreme that has joined the network? If yes, what do I need to do to make it work?
    2- Any idea why my first setup stopped working?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks a lot,
    Frank

  • TWO Aiport express in WDS network and NAS drive?

    Hi,
    I know this question has been asked several times: one airport express cannot be connected to USB nor NAS drive. But what about TWO airport express?
    We now have 2 airport express (b/g) at home presently participating in a WDS network with the following connections:
    - Aiport express #1 (WDS main) - living room
    => ethernet = connected to internet
    => jack = connected to HIFI
    - Airport express #2 (WDS remote) - office room
    => USB = connected to printer
    My question is the following: would it be possible to connect the ethernet port of Aiport express #2 to a NAS drive? How has the Airport express #2 to be configured (WDS remote? WDS relay? Connection sharing= "bridge" or "distribute a range of IP"?) for this purpose?
    I could not find any clear answer yet on this particular situation.
    Thanks in advance for your help with this. I do not want to buy a NAS drive and realize that it does not work...

    My question is the following: would it be possible to connect the ethernet port of Aiport express #2 to a NAS drive?
    Yes that should work.
    How has the Airport express #2 to be configured (WDS remote? WDS relay? Connection sharing= "bridge" or "distribute a range of IP"?) for this purpose?
    Either WDS remote or relay should work. You do not want it distributing IP addresses. Configuring it as a WDS remote or relay should automatically prevent this setting.

  • HT4623 My iPad gave me a message saying I needed to update the 'IOS'? and would let me do anything but click 'update'.  So I did.  Now it is 'stuck' on a screen titled 'Joining Other Network' and it won't give me any other screen or option.

    I have tried turning my iPad off and on several times over the past two days since it stopped working.  Also, I have now connected it to my main apple computer, thinking the two would perhaps 'sync', to no avail.  My computer seems to be working fine.  How do I get my iPad to function again?

    If you open it to take out the battery from the iPhone then you forfeit all service for whatever reason from Apple in the future.
    Have you attempt to connect it to your computer and then restore it from iTunes on your computer?

  • I changed the password on my WiFi network and can't get my Airport Express to join the network

    AT$tT recently replaced my DSL modem with a modem/router. I was able to reset my Airport Express gen1 to join the network. Then I changed my network password  and cannot get it to reconfigure to join the network with a new password. Suggestions?

    Next time you want to change the network password.......change it on the Express first....and then on your main router. Then, as soon as you restart the main router, the Express already has the settings that it needs to join the network and it will join with no problems.
    Now, you must reset the Express back to factory default settings and then set it up again. To do that......
    Power off the Express for a minute
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after the 10 second hold, and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
    The Express has now been reset and you can reconfigure it to join your "new" network now.

  • Weird Behavior on my Airport Network and iTunes

    This will be a bit long. Set up a wifi network with a AP Extreme downstairs wired to my desktop, and an Express upstairs for my laptop and Airtunes. Worked great for awhilw but then kept getting kicked off. After searching the forum I tried to disable my firewall and everything was great- for awhile. Then I could not connect and needed to hard reset it all. Worked well again. Now a new problem.
    With the AP Extreme and the desktop downstairs I get great internet access but iTunes does not show the speakers connected to the Express.
    At the same time, Upstairs with the Express (solid green light) and the laptop I get great internet access and this iTunes sees the speakers connected to Express Airtunes. But it does not see the iTunes (and music)from the desktop PC. My wireless says I have an excellent signal to my network.
    So: The computer with all the music does not see Airtunes. The computer with no music sees Airtunes but not the other computer with the music.
    I checked and both are configured to see and display shared music.
    I am sure that if I reboot it all it will work. But this constant rebooting is becoming a pain. Anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance.

  • Why Error Occuring While Joining Airport Network?

    I have an old iBook PowerPC 500MHz, running 10.3.9. A friend had been using it and I am trying to get it to see the Airport device. The icon along the menu bar is not highlighted. When I try to join my network and type in my password at first I got a dialog box saying something about the device or something had been changed and asked if I wanted to change something on the Keychain in order to access the Airport. I typed in my password and got a dialog box saying that there was a problem joining the network and asks for the password again.
    I don't know if the iBook is actually seeing the Airport because the icon is not registering a signal at all, or if I'm simply having a problem with my password and/or Keychain. I am able to access the Internet via hard wire.
    I just downloaded an Apple Security Update, is it possible that I should not be running 10.3.9?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Not really now considered secure.
    Should I close my wireless network?
    http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1017.html
    From what I understand, if I employ that method then the client (generally my wife) needs to know the name of the network. If they don't know the name of the network then they can't connect, right?
    That's the basics.
    However the SSID is sent between clients and the base station even though the base station isn't broadcasting the SSID, and this can be picked up by someone sniffing your wireless network.
    It will deter the casual user.

  • Macbook will not automatically join know networks

    After installing Lion mac will not automatically join know wireless networks i have to select it at every power up or wake up

    Have you guys tried delting the network from Preferred Networks and then tried joining again ? Make sure the signal strength of the network is between -35 and -70 to be in good range. You can get this info by pressing the Option key and clicking on the network.
    What channel is the wireless network on ? If using 5 Ghz, pick channel 36/44/48 and try.
    If nothing work's, backup the files in this folder /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and then delete the contents of this folder.
    To delete do this in Terminal app:
    sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/*.*
    Now reboot the machine, join the network and try again.

  • I have just converted from PC to iMac. Yay. But pls be nice to me; I am back to newb! Running Lion. Have connected a Time Capsule as both a backup and WAP. I want to be able to join the network with my iPad, iPhone, iPod to print. How can I do this?

    Can I do this using the Time Capsule. I am not tech, so bear with me. Can I get the iPad to connect wirelessly to the TC, which connects wirelessly to the Canon MP495? Or, can I connect/network the iPad to the iMac to print?
    Either way, or if there is any other solution, I would appreciate if someone would walk me through it, or point me to a plain-speaking resource.
    Thankyou.
    Actually, one more: I would like to connect my HP laptop as well. I have heard this is not simple, but possible.

    You can create a wifi network with your TC, and you can join this network with your iPad. However, your printer does not support the AirPrint protocol, so you will not be able to print from your iPad, unless you load additional software.
    These are the steps:
    1.  (You may have completed this step already) Set up your TC to create a wireless network. You can do this from AirPort Utility on your Mac or from the AirPort Utility App on your iPad (free download from the App Store).
    2. From your iPad, go to settings / wifi and join the network.
    3. Download the Canon iPhone App from the App store on your iPad
    4. You can now print photos from your iPad to your Canon printer.
    If you want full functionality, (not just photos), there is software for your Mac that makes your printer available to your iPad through AirPrint (Printopia). The downside is, you have to purchase it, and you have to have your Mac running when you want to print from your iPad.
    Good luck!
