Just had Fios installed. How do I set up the airport?

How do I set up the airport? Its connected to the new modem but blinking yellow. The computer recognizes it.

It is uber simple.
Give the TC to create a wireless network.. same name as the SSID of existing wireless.. same security.. should be WPA2 AES = WPA2 Personal and same password.
Usually auto channels is ok to separate them but if you need to give it a jab.. just use manual channels.. set main router to channel 1 for instance and TC to 6 or 11 for 2.4ghz.. 5ghz is not so much of an issue usually.
Apple has notes here on this setup but you can use different router not just two apple routers.

How can I set up the airport extreme base station with windows computer

how can I set up the airport extreme base station with windows computer

Hi - you need Airport Utility version 5.6.1 for Windows 7 - go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547 to download it to your computer - the setup depends on what kind of modem you have and if you have another router connected - post back with this info to proceed - thanks

Just had FiOS installed, getting disconnect

I just had FiOS (15/5) installed this afternoon with 250 channel TV package. I went to speedtest.net and I'm seeing very good speeds and nice latency. Problem is that I logged into IRC, had ssh session oepn (using putty) and also logged into an online game (game lets you idle) and left the computer around 8pm to watch TV, when I just came back now at 10pm both my irc and game clients had timed out indicating a disruption in my net connectivity. My Steam client also showed a disconnect and later reconnect. The game log indicates disconnection happened at 21:54 which is 2 hours and 2 minutes after I had started the game client and gone idle. The FiOS tech finished installed around 5:45pm so the connection was on for around 4 hours before the disconnect. Previously I had Speakeasy DSL and never experienced these timeouts when I left my computer idle. On the machine this happened (my desktop) it has a direct wired ethernet connection to the verizon wireless router. It issues me an IP via DHCP. I checked the DHCP lease it did not expire (and I hope it auto-renews when that happens in 24 hours? never used DHCP before). So I am wondering is this a known issue and how can it be fixed? I am really happy with the speed, but want to be able to leave clients open for long periods without getting disconnects. BTW I have ethernet from the ONT to the router so no coax at play there.
Router is: Actiontec MI424-WR Revision C.
Firmware Version: 4.0.16.1.56.0.10.14.4
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate (x64). I really hope this can be resolved.
I logged into router and advanced options to see system log and only thing I see around time of the disconnect is:
Jun 28 21:45:33 2011 System Log WAN DHCP DHCP WAN connection IP:108.32.64.202,DNS:71.252.0.12 71.250.0.12 ,GTW:108.32.64.1,Subnet:255.255.255.0 (WAN MoCA)
Jun 28 20:45:32 2011 System Log WAN Coax WAN Coax Link Up
Jun 28 20:45:19 2011 System Log WAN Coax WAN Coax Link Down
But I thought the Coax referred to the MOCA which does TV service not the ethernet I have going to the router. Is that related?
I guess this is for the FiOS TV since he set up the router to not use MOCA (coax) for the internet connection?
Shouldn't the disconnect be mentioned in the system log?

The firewall to which I was referring was the one inside the ActionTec router which performs the PAT translation and port forwarding functions.
Unless this is regularly occurring event, I'm going with the original suggestion that something just blipped (welcome to the Internet) and move on.

How do you set up the airport + time capsule to a win XP and 7 machines?

All my Apple products can connect just fine but none of my windows machines can access wirelessly. I tried different downloads but none of them seem to work any way for me to rectify this?

For those who are running Windows and controlling the Airport Base Station with Airport for Windows. Apple just came out with a firmware update for Airport Extreme (7.7.2). It so happens that this Firmware version requires Airport Software version 6.3 or newer. The Windows version only goes as high as Version 5.6 or so. I was also told that Apple is unlikely to upgrade this software. To make a long story short you need to control (Configure) your Airport Base Station with an iMac, or an iPhone or iPad with the Airport app. This solved my problems. Good Luck :)

I just had Uverse installed. The iMac which was my base station is now connected via my household electric ground connection. Another computer is now the base station. I have connected my Time Capsule to my computer by USB cable, but can't set it up

I just had Uverse installed. My iMac desktop has been the base station for my wi fi, but we had to connect it via ground wire of my electrical system and use another desktop as the base station [with windows op system]. We have connected my Time Capsule to the computer via USB cable. I believe that will require setting up the Capsule to use Ethernet, but the instructiions on the install disc only talk about using Airport. How can I find instructions for setting up using USB cable and Ethernet?
Thanks!

All the manuals are listed at the head of the thread.

The TC cannot connect to the computer by USB.. it is network device.. it only connects by ethernet or wireless.. usb is for external drive or printer.

I thought there might be a enter button once you set the size you want. That is mainly what I am asking if you have to enter or set the choice we make.
So you are wondering how to make the size change "permanent" for a channel? If so, no, there is no way. If you change the channel the screen size reverts to normal on the new channel, and if you go back to the one where you had set the size it is back to normal there also.

I have an ipod touch it is either a second or third edition and i have just had to restore it to factory setting as it was not working and now the wifi on the device is no longer working. Is there anything i can do about this?

i have an ipod touch it is either a second or third edition and i have just had to restore it to factory setting as it was not working and now the wifi on the device is no longer working. Is there anything i can do about this?

Is it this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Otherwise:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

how do I set up my airport to make a connection with my Hp? I already have it set up for my mac laptop just not sure how to set it up so that theres also a connection with my Hp

I set up my new HP Descjet 3054A . I had a problem becouse Apple give me CD as a driver. The thing was that CD wasn good for this printer becouse it was old software:) I had to go to Apple store so the specialist had to download me he wright driver. Becouse I didnt wannet to screw this up . When he downloaded driver I fired it up at house and thingworks perfect. The thing is when you download all the software from HP side . Then you have to connect your MAC to printer via USB . Fallow the instructions it should works. Worked for me. Good Luck!

Hi Just had infinity installed

Hi I have just had infinity installed because of an ongoing rein issue which screwed my Talktalk asdl down to 1meg.
After 9 BTOR visits I was informed where the problem was coming from but that no one was able to enter or contact the house that the problem was isolated to.
This left me to the infinity option which thankfully has bypassed the problem and i am getting 37 meg(woohoo!)
I do find it amaxing however that neither TT or BT has any rights to deal with the person who is messing up mine and others in the road and you are expected to deal with it your self.
Looking forward to better service from BT and great speed than before

Just had Infinity installed, upload seems very low...

I literally just had Infinity installed and on the first boot up I was getting 23mb/7mb but now the upload has dropped to 1mb after I cleaned up the cabling (so had to turn off the hub)
http://www.speedtest.net/result/2568953604.png
Is this something for me to be worried about or will it go back up during the 10 day period?

It starts making history of the line as soon as it's plugged in and connected. It will use this information to try and settle the line, after 2/3 days you will see it set a normal IP profile as it think's that is where it will be best at. It's even more vital to not reset it before 2/3 days when you normally see it settle or at least close to after a couple of months you will.
Also restarting at night is stupid as well, you should restart during the day (90%) of time. As that is when less noise is present...
I understand your point though, but it will have 2 be testing at high speeds instead of low to be effective. You can't determine in which state of testing it is in though.

I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".

HT204380 I just purchased an iPod for my 4 yr old grandson so that we can FaceTime. I have the ipad2. How do I set up the iPod so that we can FaceTime? The way I have it now shows me on both so it's a busy signal.

You will probably need to create an apple Id for you grandson, so you can call that ID instead of yours.

I was online earlier this week and liked the forms with submit buttons and the Adobe site directed me to upgrade to Adobe PRO XI in order to use forms so I bought five licenses. Just had it installed today and it is now asking me to sign up for forms Central in order to use this feature. What gives? The Adobe site gave me the impression that I would have this feature after purchasing the new upgrade. I would not have purchased the upgrade, let alone five of them had I know this. Am I missing something?

Acrobat XI comes with the Fromscentral AIR application and the ability to create PDF forms authored in Formscentral. To have more than the free (1 form with 50 responses) level account you need to sign up for a Formscentral subscription.
