MacBook Pro and Airport Express = Problem?

Seem to be having problems when I boot my Macbook it doesn't connect to my airport Express. I have checked my windows laptop and have no issues at all. Also when my macbook goes to sleep sometimes it doesn't connect back up I have to select the SSID and connect up again.
Tried the usual things changes ssid - channel and so on, I am currently using WEP 128 otptions 802.11g.

Hi,
Try:
1.) System Preferences->Network->Network Port Configurations- Drag Airport to the top of the list, and uncheck ports you don't need.
2.) System Preferences-Network-Airport and select join Automatic.
This should solve your problem.

    I need a new modem. Which modems work well with the MacBook Pro and Airport Express?

    You need to inquire from your ISP which modems are compatible with their netwrok. They should give you a list.

  • Problem with Macbook pro and Airport Express!!!

    I'm having the same problem I have seen others with right now with my macbook pro and my airport express. I have set up and reconfigured the A.Express 3 times now. I have the green light, i have the Ethernet configured, I have full bars of reception but I cannot access the signal. meaning I can not go online even though everything is set up correctly and says that it's good to go. Anybody have any advice?
    Is it an issue with having to re access the network I created with the Airport utility?
    It worked the first time I configured the A. Express with my macbook pro no problem. Then suddenly my computer was just not getting internet. Even though all the settings were ok and I was even getting full bars reception from the device on my comp. So I reset the A.Express and have been having the problem mentioned above since that point. Please help me if you have any advice. Thanks so much in advance.

    I had the same problem, and to test if I was connected launched Safari and Safari after a few seconds of not connecting, it shows you a dialog box, with options to follow up, I follow the dialog box and like magic I am connected to the Internet.

  • Having trouble making the macbook pro and airport express hok up

    I have a macbook pro and the airport express hooked to a stereo. I need to connect the two together. I also have a lynksis wireless router that can not be hard wired to the airport express. Will this work because I am unable to make it work....
    Do I need the express unit instead of the lynksis

    Just checked that as well, it's set as a wireless N network that is B/G compatible... So it's got to be something else. Thanks for the suggestion though!

  • MacBook Pro and Airport connection problem

    My MacBook Pro has a volatile connection to my Airport Express base station.
    I have a 2-month old 15.4" MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo), all software updates are installed, etc. I connect to the internet through an Airport base station. For the past few days my MBP has had a dodgy connection, slowing down at seeming random and then occasionally disconnecting from the base station entirely, although the Airport icon on the MBP is always on. While downloading a file I noticed that the speed of the connection was incrementally slowing until it stopped, and it was only after a couple of retries and then connecting to the base station again (by finding it amongst the other networks on the pull-down menu that you get when you click on the Airport icon) that my connection resumed at its previous speed.
    My 12" PowerPC iBook connects to the internet over this Airport base station at full speed, no problems.
    I've tried resetting the PRAM on my MBP without change.
    One possibly noteworthy change is that this past week I updated my Parallels software to 3.0, which may have an effect based on some of the other threads I've read.
    What now?!

    After trying all of the above the suggestions, the problem returned as before. However, after digging some more I discovered that the issue appears to lie with the 10.4.10 version of the Mac OS; when I checked the software log under the system profiler I noticed that I had installed that update at about the time my Airport problems began. Apple then quietly released a v 1.1 combo update to 10.4.10 on July 2nd, which once installed appears to have resolved the problem. You can find the download at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdatev11intel.html
    What's curious is that originally Apple listed that the v 1.1 combo update resolved some issues with RAW image data, and some sound problems, which don't seem to have anything to do with Airport.

  • MacBook Pro and Airport Express Aren't Getting Along

    So this is a little crazy. My Macbook Pro cannot access the internet via my Airport Express [which I'm using to create a network]. All the other wireless devices in my house (iPhone, PS3, etc) are having no problem accessing the internet via the express. And my MacBook Pro can access the internet no problem when I'm connected to other networks...
    My PS3 is getting downloads of about 11.5MBPS from the express, and my iPhone is getting about 6.8MBPS. Though my MacBook is connected to the network, it's getting little to no internet (best I've gotten is .07MBPS, so it's basically nothing).
    Please help. I've tried EVERYTHING (PRAM reset, SMC reset, even bought a new Airport Express).
    Thanks!

  • MacBook Pro and Airport Express

    I have a Mac book Pro / Dell Laptop running XP and an Emac running OsX with a Netgear router using WEP password protection.

    I have tried using the asistant by the AP express unit doesn't appear.
    Where am I going wrong!

    You want to set up the AX in Client Mode...
    To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) in "Client Modet," using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <type in your Netgear wireless network name or select it from the pop-up menu>
    - Wireless Security: Not enabled
    OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
    Security Options
    Change Wireless Security
    - Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for your wireless network: 40-bit WEP|128-bit WEP | WPA Personal | WPA Enterprise>
    - Password: <enter your wireless network security password or key>
    Music tab (optional)
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <enter name of speaker for iTunes remote speaker list>
    I suggest you try, temporarily, removing wireless encryption, to verify that you can connect the AX to the Netgear. Once working, you can add it back.

  • MacBook Pro and Airport connectivty problems with 10.4.8

    Like others I have been having problems with Airport drop-outs since updating to 10.4.8. Using the shareware program (free trial) "Airport Monitor Utility" which displays various parameters from an Airport Base Station, it seems that although the signal level from the MBP is good, the AEBS is reporting high levels of errors being received. The same problem is not evident with either an old Pismo with a Motorola 54g card or my MDD (again with an add-in 54g card).
    Both the PC machines have no trouble conecting to the Airport network and they are also both running 10.4.8.
    The only way it seems I can run a reliable connection with the MBP at the moment is to run the AEBS without encryption but just using MAC address filtering and SSID disabled for security - far from ideal
    I am wondering if the high error rate may be a cause for the drop-outs when using encryption.
    Could others with MBPs, whether suffering this problem or not, please post the results of error rates if possible then we may be able to at least eliminate one potential cause for this problem.
    I've tried all the other suggested 'cures' and had no success....

    Despite the title of the article, the included solution may rid you of AirPort wavering in and out of contact with the base station. It did that for me.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304482
    However, I was then left with the situation that is the title of the article! Ironic:) My preferences for a particular network would no longer stick, and AirPort was self-assigning an unusable IP address.

  • I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad is looking for an airprint printer.  Can I direct the iPad to the usb connected printer.  Both macbook and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport exp.

    I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad and iphone are looking for an airprint printer.  Can I direct the iPad/iphone to the usb connected printer.  Macbook iphone and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport express.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

  • Is anyone using NETGEAR Push2TV with a MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme and does it work well for you?

    I am interested in buying a NETGEAR Push2TV display TV streamer to use with my MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme.
    I saw on the Netgear site that a Intel Wireless Display/WIFI driver software is required for PC's; do we have this software installed already on our MacBook Pro's? Is any one using this box and does it work well for you, any problems or setup issues?

  • Macbook pro and airport extreme don't work

    A friend (and all those tv commercials) say everything just works with Macs. Well, not exactly. New Macbook Pro and Airport Extreme can't connect me to the internet. I still have PC connected via ethernet cable to my cable modem and router which is in the basement where the cable enters the house. I've tried the different options in Airport Extreme setup and nothing works. It doesn't help Apple assumes I know everything about DHP PPPOE NAT or whatever all those silly things are.
    Can anyone explain in +very simple+ terms how I get this expensive piece of aluminum connected to the internet?
    Thanks.

    Hello sofarapplesux. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I assume that you will continue to use the modem and router in the basement to get your Internet access ... correct? What is the make/model of this router?
    If that's the case, I will also assume that you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) connected by Ethernet to this router ... correct?
    So your overall network configuration should look something like the following:
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > \[Internet port] router \[LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > \[WAN port] AEBSn ... close?

  • Does Apple allow functionality between Logic Pro and Airport Express

    That's it... Does Apple allow functionality between Logic Pro and Airport Express.
    If not, Why not. It seems like such a logical Apple type solution. I looked and find it difficult to believe nobody has asked the question...

    There is your solution: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/

  • MacBook Pro and Airport Snow Modem

    Hi there,
    I just bought a MacBook Pro, and was using it last night. When I tried to connect to the internet via my Airport Base Station (snow) using its modem (which I always did with my old Titanium PowerBook), I was disappointed to discover that I can't use the Airport menu to get the base station to connect to the internet. Nor can I use the Airport Admin Utility to access the base station. The computer will connect to the base station, but doesn't seem to recognize it beyond that.
    I'd really like to know if there's a way I can get my MacBook Pro to recognize the base station properly and let me access the internet. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any solutions?
    Thanks!
    Christopher

    The new Airport extreme with 802ac wifi WITH the new macbook Air with 802ac, if you have one, runs wifi at blazing speeds.
    Have both the new Air and new Airport extreme, and since the limits were removed a couple weeks ago with 10.8.5 update,..... the new macbook Airs over wifi ac with the A.E. are just lightning fast, astonishingly fast.
