Linksys gaming adapter not working with Airport Extreme

Hey guys, just installed Airport Extreme 802.11n for my new MBP notebook and I have 3 laptops Apple and PC that work great! BUT! I have an Xbox with Linksys gaming adapter and the gaming adapter is not picking up the airport at all! Before the Airport I had a Linksys wireless router and it has worked with the gaming adapter for the last 3 years flawlessly. Does anybody know why the gaming adapter is not finding it?

  • Airport card does not work with Airport Extreme when security is turned on

    I have an iMac running OSX 10.4.11 with an Airport card installed (firmware version 9.52).
    I recently replaced my Netgear wireless router with an Apple Extreme Base station and now I am not able to connect my iMac to the wireless network when WEP security is turned on - I get an error from the Airport Setup Assistant when I attempt to connect to the wireless network.
    It works fine if the wireless security on the Extreme Base station is turned off.
    Please help and thanks in advance.

    First, I highly recommend that you switch to either WPA or WPA2 as WEP is no longer considered secure. If you must use WEP, I suggest that you try the following:
    o Re-create the Network Name (SSID) on your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS)
    o Try using 128-bit WEP, with a 26-Hex character key for the encryption type.

  • 1.5 TB Seagate drive will not work with Airport Extreme.

    I have a 1.5 TB external drive connected to airport extreme.  I cannot get this drive to be recognizedby the computers connected to the Airport Extreme.  The drive show up as "-1.4 TB - Seagate FreeAgent 0138"  under disks in Airport Utility can plug it in directly to my Mac Air and a PC and the drive will work. When I plug the drive in directly to a PC or Mac Air,  it is recognized and can be used. 
    I can plug in a 250 GB external drive into the Airport extreme and they will work.
    Also,  the 1.5 TB works when plugged locally to a PC or Mac using USB. 
    Anyone know how to get it to work with the Airport Extreme?

    Assuming that the drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or MS-DOS FAT32, you almost always need to use a powered hub with a drive attached to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme...even if the drive has its own power supply.....because the USB port is under powered and will not supply enough current to most hard drives.

  • PC Internet Not Working with Airport Extreme

    Hey guys, just got a new Airport Extreme to replace my old one. Me and my brother's MacBook's both work in terms of the internet, but my dad's PC's internet will not work. It is connected to the Airport, but has no internet access. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Apple's support section (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306256) says "How to enable Cisco VPN connections
    You should use Cisco's VPN client software to establish a Cisco VPN connection via an AirPort Extreme base station. Note: In the Cisco VPN client preferences, make sure the "NAT-T" option is enabled.
    Note: Some corporate firewall configurations may cause issues with the Cisco VPN software.
    Please contact AppleCare support if you are unable to contact a Cisco VPN server via Cisco VPN client software and an AirPort Extreme base station.
    I'm experiencing the same thing. DellLatitude D610. Netgear rangemax wireless PC card (WPN511). I can connect to the internet but I try to vpn into work I get half way through the connection process and get an error which states" Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client. Reason 412: The remote peer is no longer responding. I've spent 2 hours trying different settings. I really want to stick w/the apple product but will have to return it if I can't get it to work. I need cisco vpn via wintel for work.

  • Mac filter not working with Airport Extreme

    I setup my new AEBS and for whatever reason when I setup the Mac filter it still will let the desired user in with the key. I have both the wireless N and the wireless G (guests) setup and it doesn't seem to work with the G for sure, unfortunately I don't have any other wireless N capable units so I don't know if it works with N. I would assume that it would block all other Mac addresses if I select "No Access." Please help, and no I do not have any extensions of it, it's just the Extreme as the single wireless access point in our house with WPA security. Thanks!

    I had the same problem. On the MAC access panel in Airport Utility, click on the default user and then use the drop down menu below and click no access. Any of the added IDs you have added you can still put 24 hour access and only those users can connect to the network.
    The default is set for all access, so unless you change this, no matter how many separate IDs you add, it will let anyone on if they have a password.
    I didn't figure this out for years, but now it works the way I thought it was working all along...

  • Pc will not work with Airport Extreme LAN connection

    I have setup my Aiport Extreme Base Station and my Mac and phone work just fine with the setup. However, I connected a PC directly to one of the LAN ports on the back, and the PC doesn't see the network. Above the port the light is blinking green. Any thoughts? 

    Is the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) the only router in your current network configuration? That is, it is connected directly by Ethernet to your Broadband Internet modem? ... or to another router between the AEBS and the modem?
    When connected by Ethernet to the AEBS, can the PC "see" the Mac or vice-versa?

  • StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521

    Side Note: I wrote a reply to a thread that was from 2013. I do apologize because the link was sent to me by my bf and I did not realize how old it was. Since my reply has to be approved I can't delete it.
    Current Issue: StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15 model 3521 
    I bought my Dell laptop last year and at first I did not realize that it had only one audio jack (combo, as the specifications manual says), I only noticed when I was trying to plug in my Ozone Rage ST headset.
    I searched online threads and found out that I needed an adapter and most people mentioned Headset Buddy. I couldn't find any adapters for sale in my country (or employees didn't really know what I was talking about) and since Headset Buddy is a bit expensive, I decided to try StarTech Headset adapter for headsets with separate headphone/microphone plugs - 3.5mm 4 position to 2x 3 position 3.5mm M/F www.amazon.com/.../ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top.
    It arrived today and let me tell you that I can't make it work. I can hear everything but I can't get the external mic to work or even be detected. I have always used my headset (mostly for gaming) and I prefer to use my external mic rather than the internal one. First I connected my headphone and mic jacks to the adapter and only after that did I connect it to the laptop combo jack. I also tried vice-versa. It didn't work, regardless of the order. I even tried with a different headset and it still didn't work. What else can I do?
    I have also found a thread on Dell forums saying that Headset Buddy doesn't even work on Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521. So since it doesn't work and I'm assuming StarTech doesn't, either, what am I to do/buy?! I am getting extremely frustrated and I'm very disappointed with Dell because the brand should have included with the laptop a proper working adapter for these situations and not make its customers buy an extra accessory to make whatever working gear they already had function. It just doesn't make sense to me! Either make the changes work properly or simply don't touch anything. I spent some of my savings on this laptop which, overall, is great but now I am being forced to spend more on an item to allow me to use my headset. I am running out of options here and even Dell can't seem to tell its customers with 100% certainty what really works for this specific model. 
    If I can't make the adapter work, I just hope I can return it, otherwise I'll end up with no refund and with a piece of equipment I have no other use for! 
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    This is the first time I was forced to buy adapters such as these so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if there's anything else I can do to make it work. When I plug the adapter to my Dell, the laptop presents me with several options such as: headphones, headphone, speakers, skull candy headphones, etc (maybe some may have different names but since I see them in Portuguese, I'm not quite sure how they appear for someone who has the computer in English), I have picked different options and it still doesn't work, the only noticeable changes are sound quality related, I guess.

  • Time Machine will NOT work with Airport Disks!

    It looks like Time Machine will not work with Airport Disks after all. All references to Airport have been removed from the Time Machine page:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/timemachine.html
    It also specifically says: "You can designate just about any HFS+ formatted FireWire or USB drive connected to a Mac as a Time Machine backup drive. Time Machine can also back up to another Mac running Leopard with Personal File Sharing, Leopard Server, or Xsan storage devices."
    Surely, they would have included the Airport Extreme Base Station in this list if it was supported.
    I really hope there will be another firmware update for the AEBS which will bring compatibility with Time Machine, because Time Machine was the only reason for me to buy an AEBS. (I only use it as a small backup server, I don't even have wireless networking enabled. There were other solutions, e.g. from Synology, which are faster and more reliable than AEBS disk sharing, but Synology stated their network drives would not be compatible with Time Machine.)

    Here's how you can potentially use your AirDisk with TimeMachine (beware that YMMV), but it should work as it works with every other "unsupported" device.
    1) Mount your AirDisk so it appears on your Mac
    2) Open Terminal.app
    3) change directories to the AirDisk's root folder located in "/Volumes"
    ie: cd "/Volumes/AirDisk Name"
    4) execute this command to "bless" the drive to be used with time machine:
    touch .com.apple.timemachine.supported
    5) Start TimeMachine and if all went well, it should recognize your AirDisk drive and use it for TM.
    This should also work on NFS shares, SMB shares, AFP shares, basically anything. It has worked up until the last developer seed, so unless they yanked this at the last minute, it should still work.
    Now, the reason why Apple removed this feature may be due to the unreliability of the AirDisk, so be cautious.

  • Will a WD hard drive work with AirPort Extreme to connect with an iPad Air

    Will a WD hard drive work with Airport Extreme to connect by a iPad Air

    If you already have an AE and a WD drive .. the best idea is plug it in and see on a mac in airport utility is the drive recognised.
    If not you have problems.. if it is formatted correctly (Not NTFS mainly) then it can be a drive that is not compatible.
    assuming it works get your ipad and pay for filebrowser or at least download a test copy and see how it goes.
    Always the best way to find out.. try it.

  • Any current inkjet printers work with Airport Extreme 802.11g Basestation?

    Does anyone know if there are any printers out there currently being sold that actually work with Airport Extreme (802.11g)? Not the latest 802.11n basestation, but the UFO-shaped Extreme g basestation? I recently tried the HP DeskJet D4160 and it does not work at all with it, although my deprecated HP 940c works just fine. I need to replace the 940C, and I don't want to have to buy and return 20 different printers in order to find one that actually works... Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

    Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

    The AirPort Extreme does allow AirPlay to "pass-through" but it does NOT support receiving AirPlay streams to be played back through powered speakers or an audio receiver as it does not have any built-in audio circuitry like the AirPort Express models.

  • Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme?

    Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme? Such as an HP Photosmart D110.

    Yes, it will as long as it is within wifi signal range of the Extreme.  Of course, you'll need to go through the printer setup sequence. NOTE:  The D110 is not AIRPRINT compatible, so it will not print from ios operating systems that are installed in mobile devices such as iphones, ipads, ipods.  However, there are Apps that are available for non airprint printers, but their quality and effectiveness are questionable.

  • Why does my digital AV adapter not work with my iPad

    Why does my digital AV adapter not work with my iPad

  • Will sony s-air sw10ti work with airport extreme?

    Hi There,
    I have the Sony S-Air SW10 Ti which has a great sound but the Aerial on it for DAB Radio is rubbish, it does have a docking station which also sounds good but no other connection parts. Would this perhaps work with " Airport or Aiport Express/Extreme" ?

    Thanks - I am glad that you explained your situation a liitle more - although there is no direct way to connect to the wi-fi of the Sony - the Airport Express (not the Extreme) has an audio out jack that can be connected to any system - this would be an indirect way of using wi-fi with your Sony - see this link - http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ - you could also incorporate Apple TV into your setup - see this link - http://www.apple.com/appletv/ - but as you can see, both of these choices involve AirPlay and Itunes which may limit your options - and because they are beyond the scope of this discussion group, I would suggest that you re-word your questions and ask them in the appropriate disccusion group in this forum - I hope that this clarifies things somewhat.

  • Av adapter not working with ipad 2, please advice

    I bought an av adapter 2012 release, is not working with my ipad 3g att ios version 4.3.5 i tried reset, changing the widescreen button multiple times no luck no video mirroring or sound. When i plug there is a msg displayed: accessory not supported.
    I have 2 questions :
    1) is this a ios version ? There a lot people complaining that after updates the adapter stopped working, if it is is this version w abug?
    2) can i update the ios to 5.x not the ios 6 or i m forced to update to the last version ?

    See the following where it states the requirement of iOS 5.1 or later (in the features box)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108?viewlocale=en_US
    And yes, you should be able to update to iOS 5.1 without going directly to iOS 6. You need to locate the correct .ipsw update file for your iPad 2 and manually install it through iTunes. Google "ios ipsw 5.1.1" for links to the iOS 5.1.1 files.
