Losing connection with safari using airport base station

Airport base station. Frequently loses connection with safari, even though the station shows green. Same problem with all our devices, IMac, MacBook Pro, IPads, Iphone etc. However, disconnect not at the same time, some devices works, others don't.

    If you mean the hexidecimal equivalent of the alphanumeric password, then you can find this via the AirPort Utility, as follows:
    AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Manual Setup
    On the AirPort Utility's menubar select Base Station > Equivalent Network Password

    Sorry to hear you are having issues, but there are 2 ways you can print from that device.
    The first one is to simply email photos or documents to your printers email address by attaching them to a new message.
    The other option is to download the HP ePrint Home and Biz app from Google Play. The app is free and should allow you to print pictures and documents to the printer with ease. I have added a link below on how to get started with this app.

  • Connect to Internet Without Airport Base Station or Other Wireless Router

    I have an iMac G5 w/Airport Extreme card, an eMac w/Airport card (not Extreme), and an iBook w/Airport card (not extreme). The iMac is connected to the internet via DSL (direct Ethernet connection - no router). I can succesfully network all three computers for file sharing but can not connect to the internet over the network using the eMac or the iBook. Is it even possible to use the iMac as a wireless base station for the other two computers or do I have to buy a wireless router or Airport Base Station?
    Thanks.

    no1bass, Welcome to the discussion area!
    The best solution is to get an inexpensive wireless base station.
    However, you can use the iMac to share the Internet connection. Go to the iMac's Sharing preference pane and enable Internet Sharing. If you have the iMac's firewall enabled, you will need to also enable Web Sharing or otherwise configure the firewall to open the correct ports.

  • G5 suddenly will not connect to interent via Airport base station.

    All of a sudden today, my G5 stopped connecting to the internet via my Airport base station. Usually when this happens, I just go downstairs and unplug the base station, wait 30 seconds, and then restart it. This almost always worked until today. I tried reseting my DSL hub (2wire using SBC) and after a few tries this worked only briefly before my G5 once again stopped recognizing my internet connection. My eMac downstairs, which is not attached wirelessly, connects just fine. When I open the network preferences on my G5, I have a yellow light by the Airport extreme option. I trashed airport prefs and I also trashed Yamipod, which I had just installed and was using right around the time when the G5 stopped connected. I restarted, and verified and repaired disk perms to no avail. Any help?

    If you had to perform this kind of restart of your
    AEBS frequently, then this may be caused by one of
    these two frequent reasons:
    - you run a buggy firmware version on your AEBS
    (5.6 and 5.7 have this kind of behaviour);
    - you have a new neighbour using a wireless network
    on a channel much too near from your own.
    If you'd like to check if you may be in one of these
    easy to solve cases, just indicate which firmware version
    is on your AEBS (AirPort Admin Utility shows it), and
    tell us if you have neighbours using wireless network
    (iStumbler shows this).

  • Trying to set up a wireless guest network using Airport base station.  The first network setup was fine but the second one doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

    I purchased the new Airport base station that allows for a wireless setup of a primary network and a guest network.  The primary network installation worked great but I cannot get the guest network to work properly.  Any suggestions on how to make it work?

    The AirPort base station is designed to connect to a simple modem......not a modem/router or gateway device that is often furnished to users by Internet Service Providers.
    So, the first troubleshooting question would be to find out what the make and model of the device that you call your "modem" might be.....to see if you have the right kind of product that will allow the Guest Network to operate correctly.

  • I used Airport Base station and I was able to extend my network using airport express and connect my printers.  Now I am using Extreme and I can't extend the network (Express) or the printers nothing shows up.  I am using utility 6.3 and Mt Lion  What is

    I had an Aiport Base Station and extended using Airport Express, where I also connected my printers (network). Now using Airport Extreme off Mt Lion 10.8.4 and Utility 6.3.
    I can't extend the network (express) or connect my printers (USB) nor will it find my one wifi printer.
    What's up?

    For now, leave the AirPort Express powered off.
    Power off the entire network....all devices.....in any order that you want
    Wait a few minutes
    Power up the modem first, and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme next, and let it run a full minute
    Keep powering up devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered up (leave the Express off for now)
    Open AirPort Utility and check to see if the AirPort Extreme is visible.
    If it's not, click the AirPort Utility menu at the upper left of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility. Post back with the version number of AirPort Utility that you see there....which should be AirPort Utility 5.6.1.
    Post back on your progress.

  • Xbox 360 using airport base station

    Hi
    I have an imac connected directly to an ethernet modem which connects to the internet. I would like to connect my Xbox 360 to the internet using an airport extreme base station - i.e. wire from x360 to base station, wireless connection from base to imac and wire from imac to modem.
    Is this possible?
    I have tried selecting the 'share my connection over airport' option in system preferences but this does not seem to have done the trick.
    Any suggestions much appreciated - thanks!

    It's true that the Xbox can support wireless, but it's probably more important to ascertain whether the AEBS is "compatible" with Xbox Live. I have a D-Link wireless router (the DI-624), and D-Link is very explicit about firmware versions that are compatible with Xbox Live (for example, v2.42 of their firmware is supported with Xbox Live, but v2.50 is not). I'm not sure what Xbox Live does that's outside the realm of normal network operations, but it's probably worth finding out...

  • Slow Internet connection with IPhones using airport extreme

    My Airport Extrem works fine with IPads and Mac Book but not with IPhones (very, very slow). Any advice?

    Its Pretty simple if you need to change the network password on the wifi Just do a soft reset
    To do this you need somethign small and skinny like a bobby pin then look at the back of the airport extreme for a tiny play button below that you stick the bobby pin in that for a full second.
    Then go to your Pc go to aiport utility double-click your aiports name then go to the base station tab and you can change your password.
    Having worse problems still?
    Then you need a hard restart to do a hard restart (like last time) take out something small and skinny (such as a bobby pin)  and look behind your airport for a tiny play button then right below that there should be a hole or a button use the bobby pin and stick it in the hole and leave it in there for 5.7 seconds then take it out and it should be rapidly blinking.
    Then after it finishes blinking rapidly you need to set it up again like you did when you first got it.

  • Using Airport Base Station as Extender

    Hello,
    I am trying to set up an ABS as an extender for the wireless network in my house. If I have Mac Address filtering set on my original network will that carry over to the extension or do I have to put all of the Mac Address on the original network into the second base station? If I do, is there a way to transfer them from one Airport to another?
    Thanks.

    If I have Mac Address filtering set on my original network will that carry over to the extension
    No
    do I have to put all of the Mac Address on the original network into the second base station?
    Yes
    If I do, is there a way to transfer them from one Airport to another?
    No   But a few users have reported that they have been able to "export" the settings from their main router and "import" them into the new router to be set up....while others report that these particular settings are not imported when they try this.

  • Can only apple networks be extended using airport base stations?

    My ISP provides a wifi network using a Tilgin product.
    I have a time capsule and I was wondering how I can integrade my time capsule (for back up purposes) into this network.
    Is there a way to extend this network using my time capsule? I know the options on the time capsule is "create a new network" or "extend a network" but what networksrcan be extended?
    Thanks
    Pieter

    Correct. You can only extend an AirPort Express, Extreme or Time Capsule network with an AirPort Express, Extreme or Time Capsule. In this case, you can only connect the Time Capsule to the modem by Ethernet to get Internet connection

  • Macbook OSX 10.6.8 pro wont connect to airport base station anymore

    all other machines have  no problems.  It worked earlier in the day-put to sleep-came back- now it can't something is wrong with network settings but nothing changed.  Two PC's are connected to same cable/Airport base station wirelessly with no issues it's just my machine.  I've rebooted a few times-that didn't help.  i can get my macbook's airport to work with my wireless aircard so it's not my the internal wireless modem, it's got to be my wireless settings for the airport basestation itself-but nothing chagned in those few hours it was asleep?  I have been having issues for a few weeks requiring that I run diagnosis on this home wireless network connection, but it usually gets resolved and coems back on-now it seems gone.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  I am not sure if it helps but it looks, when I renew the DHP, nothing is in the router section. 
    (not that technically savvy-but usually can wing it if the directions are too bad).
    This is running OSX 10.6.8
    Thanks,
    Megan

    Your System Preferences > Network > TCP/IP  should be set as follows
    IPv4 - DHCP
    IPv6 - off (for now, you might have to enable it in the future, but it can be off for now)
    There is nothing in the DHCP Client ID box as it's not required.
    If your clicking the "renew lease" likely means your date and time on the computer is wrong.
    Go to System Preferences > Date and Time and set a time zone and in the first screen, set the date and time automatically. then reboot the computer.
    If your having  problems with your computer remembering the date and time,
    perform a PRAM reset
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
    If your still having problems with your machine holding the date and time, not keep ing your System Preferences changes after a reboot, then open your
    Users/Library/Preferences folder and look for a file called
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    and move it to the Desktop, reboot the computer and try to set the date and time again, reboot to see if it works remmebering your system preferneces changes, if it does, then delete the desktop file.
    If your still having trouble after that, create a new user account and log into it, see if the problem still continues.

  • If i purchase a new airport base station can I use my old airport extreme 802.11n (3rd Gen) as both an extender of my wife for multiple iphones and as a router?

    I operate an old airport extreme base station 802.11n (3rd gen).
    There are 4 iphone5's and 1 iphone4 on my network along with 2 laptops running 10.6.8 and 10.7 respectively as well as two desktops with the same configurations as the laptops.
    I get a sense that the iphones may/will be useless the new airport.
    Can I use the old base station (operating as an extender/bridge/router) so that older equipment will operate in the short term until they are upgraded?
    Thank you.  

    I get a sense that the iphones may/will be useless the new airport
    They will work fine with a new AirPort base station. You can use an iPhone or iPad to set up and configure the new base station. If you want to use a Mac to set up and configure the new AirPort, it will need to have at least Lion 10.7.5 installed. Mountain Lion 10.8 or Mavericks 10.9 could be used as well.
    Can I use the old base station (operating as an extender/bridge/router) so that older equipment will operate in the short term until they are upgraded?
    You can use the older AirPort base station to extend the wireless network. No updates will be needed to your iPhones or Macs.

  • Does Airport Express work with Airport Base Station (not Airport Extreme)?

    I'm needing to extend the range of my Airport base station. I purchased an Airport Extreme to funcion as a repeater, but it's not working. Will Airport Express work with a (white) Airport base station. If not, how can I extend the range besides moving the base station?

    Can someone actually tell me how to set-up the Airport Express (with my Airport) so that it will act like a repeater. Once again, this is an Airport and not an Airport Extreme.
