Missing all Base Stations in Utility AirPort

Hi,
I work with 2 Wi-Fi AirPort networks:
-one with 3 base stations 802.11n: Time Capsule 3º generation, AirPort Extreme 4 and 5º generation,
and
-other with 1 base station AirPort Express 802.11n 1º generation).
All are worked very well with 5 computer Mac and 1 PC Window 7, 2 iPad's mini and 2 iPhone 4S.
Last week,appear one problem with the AirPort Utility program: no detection of all the Base Stations and the Time Machine no work with the Time Capsule...
Bak-Up with Time Machine impossible. But connexion with Internet remain OK...
The problem is only for the newests computers (OSX 10.9.2, 10.7.5 worked with 6.3.2 and 6.3.1 versions of AirPort software).
The wireless Printer HP no work with theses.
The oldests computers are remaining OK (OSX 10.6.8 with 5.6.1 AirPort version). And the PC Windows7 remain working very well with 5.6.1 AirPort version).
The wireless printer remain working with this!
My iPhone 4S work fine too and the Airport Bases appears without problem.
Please give me help
Thanks

Hello,
My problem is solved!
Explication: After auto-renewal of the antivirus McAfee on the compuers,the configuration of Fire Wall change from "home" to "public".
With this,the computers are worked with Fire Wall stronger. After changing this configuration to "home",all is OK!

Need a better Airport Base station admin utility

Is there a better Airport base station management utility out there we (network admins) can use to manage our 40+ airport hubs? While it is cute and nice for 1 or 2 base stations, the current util (Airport Utility.app 5.2.2) is lacking in lots of useful features:
- would like to see more than 5 devices in the left list, get rid of those over sized icons or let us make them smaller
- would like to be able to resize the window (why is ANY software made where the windows can not be resized, especially windows that show information that is bigger than the window.)
- would like to be able to select multiple base stations to get data
- would like for the list to show me all my devices and not just the devices it can detect (like ARD where I build a list)

I have been having this same issue since my purchase in January. The latest call to Applecare suggested taking the ATV out of the cabinet that it is in that also houses the receiver, and changing the channel on the setup of my Airport Extreme to channel 3. This seems to have worked for the last 3 days. I'll keep you posted.

This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.
This is the message I have recieved in installing my AirPort Utility... Can anyone help me?

Old AirPort base stations and Time Capsules aren't compatible with AirPort Utility 6.2, so you have to use AirPort Utility 5.6. As you have already updated, you can't install AirPort Utility 5.6 by the normal way.
To install AirPort Utility 5.6 on your MacBook Pro, follow these steps > http://frank.is/mountain-lion-and-the-old-airport-utility/

HT4262 This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.

In my Airport Utility a read the following message:
This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support." What do I have to do ?? I can use my airport.

I assume that your MacBook Pro is running OS X Mountain Lion ... correct? If so, version 5.6 can run just fine on this version of OS X; it just can't be installed in the traditional way.
Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
Run Pacifist.
Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

How can i use an airport base station and multiple airport expresses with U-verse and still use wireless tv boxes?

I just got uverse, and when I put my Airport Base Station in Bridge mode I lose access to the 4 airport express stations I have. Can anyone tell me how to turn off the u-verse wireless, set up a network with all the apple stations and still have wireless u-verse tv boxes work? Thanks!

Can I relocate the airport base station to downstairs and connect it to the Sawtooth there for receiving wireless from the Verizon router and broadcast further to its wireless network?
Sorry but no the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will not wirelessly connect to the network provided by the Verizon FiOS router.
What you could do is get another AEBS, an AX, or a Time Capsule and place that downstairs. Then use that device to wirelessly connect to the wireless network provided by your current AEBS. If your current AEBS is not 802.11n capable then you would need to use WDS to make this happen. One bad thing about WDS is that each WDS link cuts your affective wireless bandwidth in half.

I have a MacBook ProDo I have to have the Airport Extreme Base Station for my Airport Express to work?

I cannot get the darn Airport Express to work! It just keeps blinking Amber. I know it must be something silly I am over looking. And I do not have the Airport Extreme Base Station.
Thank you for any help!!!
Elizabeth

Thanks,
This is the rear of your modem/router:
Connect a Cat5e or Cat6 cable from any of the 4 Ethernet Lan ports to the (single) socket on the Express, then go to Airport Utility (Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility) and select create a new network.
You will need to turn the wireless transmiter in the Netgear off, here is a link to the Netgear Manual in case you need to refer to it.

Devices connecting to the weaker signal base station, not extended Airport Express

I have am successfully extending my network with a timecapsule as the base station in the front of the house (living room) and an airport express in the back of the house (bedroom). The connection between the timecapsule and the AX is 'good' according to the airport utility on my iPad.
I'm connecting my iPad and laptop to the AX from the bedroom and the internet is fast.
I am also trying to connect a printer and a droid; both of these won't connec to the AX from the bedroom, and default to the timecapsule which they both can barely connect to. The Internet is slow, and the printer won't work.
The printer is a canon mx860 and is b/g
The droid is a droid global 2 and is b/g/n
I had a similar problem with my home theatre pc in the bedroom, which wanted to connect to the timecapsule, but I installed a network sniffer and was able to manually connect to the AX, which clearly had a stronger signal.
Why are the phone and printer not connecting to the stronger signal?? I know I read somewhere that you can't configure this on the TC and AX.
Thanks,
Walker

Since you are using the Express to extend the network of your Time Capsule then the band that is being used by the Express is determined by which band you are using to connect to the Time Capsule.
On the Time Capsule, if you are using the simultaneous dual band feature you will have created at least two networks, one 2.4GHz and one that is 5GHz. Each Network should have a unique name so you can distinguish them. I append (5GHz) to the name of my 5GHz network to accomplish that.
When you set your Express to extend your Time Capsule network choose the 2.4GHz network as the network that is being extended. This will set the Express to use 2.4GHz.

Using a wire connected mac as wireless base-station by using airport extreme card

Is it possible to use a mac as wireless"base-station" for a iPhone by using an airport extreme card , if the mac is connected only by wire?
I created a network on my mac and my iPhone is connected to it, but it says the network is not connected to internet.
So can I connect the airport extreme card on my mac to the ethernet of my mac by changing the network settings on my mac?
If not, is there another way?

ok, i got the answer from another discussion. http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-share-your-macs-internet-connecti on--mac-60309

Airport Base Station without the airport card

I want to know if an airport base station (snow) will operate as a wired ethernet router if it no longer has an internal airport card.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

ooppps..
WPA2-PSK
that is the encryption in my router,there is another way without change any security?

What base station for older airport card?

I have put an airport card (id# 0030652BADB7, 128 bits) into a friends iMac G3 and need to get a base station but don't know what to look for. Can anyone help? Thank you.

viad, Welcome to the discussion area!
"Extreme" is Apple's marketing term for 802.11b/g and 802.11b/g/n wireless networking. Any of Apple's base stations will create a wireless network that the iMac G3 can connect to.

Can I buy any wifi base station for an airport extreme card?

At my mom's house, there is no wifi, so I was thinking of buying an aebs. but I was wondering if I can buy any wifi base and if it will work with my mac?

The Ethernet output of the modem should be connected to the WAN port on the AEBS.
...and the modem doesnt have a WAN port, but it has two wifi plugs on the top.
"wifi plug"... what is that?
If these other computers don't have a wireless capability, connect an Ethernet switch (or hub) to the AEBS's LAN port. Then connect these other computers to the Ethernet switch (or hub).

Extending a wireless signal with an Airport Extreme Base Station, and an Airport Express as the "repeater".

I understand that I can extend Airport Extreme wirless "reach" with an Airport Express, but how? I've read through the posts and they say to "connect" the Airport Express. What does that mean, to an outlet, to an ethernet cable, what?

I understand that I can extend Airport Extreme wirless "reach" with an Airport Express, but how?
Enable the option on the AirPort Extreme to "Allow this network to be extended"
Then configure the AirPort Express to "Extend a wireless network"
If you do it this way, the AirPort Express connects to the AirPort Extreme using wireless only.
If you have the ability to run an Ethernet cable from the AirPort Extreme to the AirPort Express and leave it connected permanently, that will provide better performance than the "wireless only" type of connection.

Airport utility no longer recognizes my Airport Extreme Base Station, which had been set up to extend a wifi network

Hi. In November I set up my airport extreme base station (5th generation I believe) to wirelessly extend the wifi network we use at home to see if it would increase download speeds. Before doing that, I did a factory reset of my airport extreme, and the owner of the airport extreme to which the ethernet cable is attached made changes to his network to allow it to be extended. I folllowed all the directions from the apple support pages, and finally got it to work. I could even access a portable hard drive which I attached to the airport extreme base station being used as the extension. Then a week or so ago I noticed that my laptop would no longer connect to my base station. I did not have time to look into it until this week. Airport utility, either on my Mac or iphone no longer recognizes my base station. My mac is running OS X 10.10.1 and my iPhone is running iOS 8.1.2 I have tried both hard, soft and factory resets of my base station to no avail. The only thing that has changed after doing that, is that when I do a soft reset of my base station, a neighbors airport express appears when it never did before. I can't actually connect to it, but it does try. Then after approximately 5 minutes, it disappears from my list.
Today I went and pulled out my OLD AIRPORT EXTREME base station... you know, the one that looks like a space ship and is running wifi 802.1 b/c? airport utility DOES locate and display that, but airport utility returns a message stating that it cannot be set up by this software. I am attaching an image of that.
Thank you,
John
Does this have anything to do with the fact that 'Back to My Mac' is probably enabled?

I think the initial problem is that your iPhone was connected to an open network that wasn't yours.
Go to Settings > WiFi and "Forget" the network created by that AirPort Extreme, it's older than dirt. Forget your neighbor's network also.
Perform the equivalent actions with your Mac: System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced... Delete every network that appears, including your own.
Then, connect to your own network on all your devices, after which you ought to be able to use any of them and configure your Extreme without any difficulty. You may need to start over with a "hard reset" on both the main AirPort Extreme and the one extending its network.
Does this have anything to do with the fact that 'Back to My Mac' is probably enabled?
Not exactly, but using iCloud Keychain will populate all your devices with the names of preferred networks that any of them connect to, no matter where they are. I don't know why Apple considers that a beneficial feature.

My Airport Base Station does not appear in the Airport Admin Utility

I cannot see my airport extreme base station in the Airport Admin Utility nor in Airport Setup Assistant via Airport. It worked yesterday but when I was trying to set up a network something must have changed but I don't know what it is. (The setup didn't work so I am only using one base station right now.) The only way I can configure/reconfigure the base station is by physically connecting via an ethernet cable. Then no problem. I have two computers and neither can access the base station with Airport Admin Utility via Airport. I have installed the latest Airport Update but nothing has changed. What happened?

You should be able to use the second Airport Extreme
Base Station as a wireless print server. What I
suggest you do is:
1. run the Airport Admin Utility and clean up
settings on your existing Base Station:
- under the Airport tab, make sure you have not
selected to "create a closed network"
- under the Access Control tab, clear out all
settings
- under the WDS tab, clear out all settings
- under the Network tab, make sure the box is checked
to "Distribute IP addresses" and "Share a single IP
address using DHCP and NAT".
- update settings to the Base Station if you changed
anything.
2. do a hard reset of your second base station per:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451
3. for now, put both base stations and the Mac in the
same room. Run the Airport Setup Assistant, and use
its guidance to configure the second base station as
a new base station that "extends" the wireless
network of your main base station.
That should do it.
Thanks very much. The printer works great from both computers via my second airport base station. And I can see both my base stations in the Airport Admin Utility.
