Just upgraded to latest Airport Extreme, why wont WPA setup same as older - AP

I had an older - 3 yrs old Base Station and was using WPA , had password that was was digits and now is 64 digits. I entered the old WPA passowrd when setting up but only likes the WPA Preshared keys? appreciate the upgrade from 24 to 64 bit but cant i go back to 24 bit, what did I do incorrectly?
Examples: OLD WPA : F6sv3vMZJwQQZQ6Z17e3Ng4Fm
NEW WPA PRESHARED - 496069c42b2fe820394115c4797c02fe492b962b479cfb91367ef6e57f6b87b2

Having Bonjour installed hasn't made a difference. I mean my friend's pc still does not connect to my wireless network.
Poking around in the Norton AntiVirus interface on the pc, hoping for possible clues, I saw the following:
After I click to make NAV produce a 'Netwok Map', a pop up window states "Devices on your network are not responding. Would you like to try again?"
Also, in the NAV Log Viewer, under Internet Worm Protection, under Activities,I see recent instances of preparations by several applications to connect to the internet, including Bonjour, NAV, and elements of Windows. Of course none of them are succeeding in connecting.

  • Just bought a new Airport Extreme BS. After setup my iphone4 won't find the network (not even with manual entries), but my iMac (2009) does. What is wrong?

    Just bought a new Airport Extreme BS. After setup my iphone4 won't find the network (not even with manual entries), but my iMac (2009) does. What is wrong?

    Well, after another call with Apple support and the engineers, no success.  After spending over 20 hours trying to debug this, I give up.  Apple was basically fishing for a solution with trial-and-error settings on the iphone.  Then they wanted me to plug in software to log my iphone connections to the router, etc, etc., etc., at which point I decided I no longer wanted to participate in their testing process and will simply return the router.
    25 hours of my life I'll never get back.
    Big bummer, and frustrating for all the obvious reasons.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Tips on upgrading to new Airport Extreme from an older version

    I've just ordered the lastest Airport Extreme (5th generation) and am looking for tips for a smooth transition from an older Airport Extreme.
    Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!

    AirPort Utility on your Mac will give you some options for the new AirPort Extreme.
    One of them that you might consider will be the displayed option to replace the old Extreme with the new Extreme.
    If you say "yes", AirPort Utility will transfer all of the settings from the old Extreme to the new Extreme
    If you want to start all over again "from scratch", that option is available as well in the guided setup.

  • 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.

  • Imac will not connect to Airport Extreme when configured WPA/WPA2

    Imac will not connect to Airport Extreme when configured WPA/WPA2
    Posted: Jul 5, 2007 8:22 PM Reply
    I just got my Imac to connect to the internet using my Airport Extreme but only by using WEP. I had my Windows XP SP2 machines connecting using WPA/WPA2 with no problem. The Imac will not connect using anything other than WEP, and 1 of the XP machines will not connect using WEP.(I have not tried the other XP machines) I had to set the Airport Extreme for an open network in order to let both computers access the shared hard drive and access the internet.
    I don't know what the problem might be and would appreciate any suggestions.
    MacBookPro, Imac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Fujitsu tablet PC, 2 XP desktops

    hehe...on the visuals. I figured it out already, and I have the old airport card. However, I did a chat with Apple support and while we were chatting I found a USB adapter with MAC drivers which will work. It is:
    Hawking Technology HWUG1A Wireless-G USB Adapter with Removable Antenna for Macintosh
    Manufacturer Part# HWUG1A
    That is the only adapter that actually does WPA/WPA2 that I can find that is for a Mac and not just an older USB that only does WEP. It surprises me that Apple does not have a USB product like this. Anyway, for $56 including shipping, I will have it by Monday or Tuesday. Pretty cool.
    Thank you so much for your assistance. It is appreciated.

  • Airport Extreme Base station wireless setup problem with Zyxel 2602HW d1a

    Hi!
    Just bought a new Airport Extreme Base Station and it just doesn't work. Probably my fault, your help is very welcome!
    My router Zyxel 2602HW D1A is the main router/modem. I can only connect to it wirelessly with my AEBS (so not via Ethernet/WAN). But, it doesn't seem to connect to this Zyxel in the wireless way. After I setup the AEBS to connect with this network I have to reset it to factory settings. Is it possible to connect only via wifi? Is it possible to this Zyxel? How can I setup the Zyxel to have everything ok to be ready for communication?
    Firmware is up to date btw.
    Thanks!
    Bjorn

    Hi Tesserax,
    Thanks for replying. I would like to share USB attached printers and hard drives just with my 'own network' attached to the AEBSn. The other network I use just for the internet connection. Preferably the other network can't access my AEBSn network.
    Am I clear? I am not sure
