More than 1 PC talking to Airport Base?

I am confounded! I just installed an older Airport Extreme Base Station. We can only get one PC at a time to hook up with the base station. How do I get more than 1 to connect? We have three notebooks (PC) and a desktop PC that will have a wireless PCI card (Sonnet Aria Extreme). I just talked to my wife (I am at work) and she says now none of the laptops will connect. We reset the base station to factory defaults, still no go.
I need detailed settings or directions to detailed instructions. The Help program that is available through the Airport Config Utility and the manual for the base station are no help.
TIA,
Pete

A regular USB hub (USB 2.0) will work. Try and get one that is powered by its own adapter. That will drive the printer and the drive. I'm not sure whether you can scan though. (I'm guessing you can't)

  • How to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

    how to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

    Only for the very brave......
    Open up the Time Capsule (voids the warranty)
    Pull the hard drive
    Place the hard drive in a separate enclosure
    Connect the enclosure directly to your Mac
    Use Disk Utility to partition the hard drive
    Reinstall the hard drive back in the Time Capsule
    For the rest of us.....
    The next best thing might be to set up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule, which will allow you reserve a given amount of space for each disk image.
    Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Click on the New Image tab
    Navigate to the Time Capsule
    Set up the disk image by naming it and specifying how much space you want to reserve

  • More than one HD per AirPort Extreme (802.11n) / different access

    If more than one HD is attached via a USB hub, is it possible to setup different access permissions for the HDs?
    I would like to use one for the Time Machine, another to be used as a local video server but not accessible from the Internet and the third fully (read/write) accessible from the Internet.

    Hi! I've formatted the 160GB USB drive to HFS+ and tried again. I saw that speed access to USB drive was a little bit faster than before.
    I simultaneously saved data from 3 PC's. After 5 hours (37 GB transferred) the base station "crashed" without rebooting. The base answered to my pings and the LED was green, the "switch function" worked properly. I tried to reconnect the disk without success. So I tried to access the base via AirPort utility without success: error code 6722 was shown. I physically rebooted the base: same problem occurred (green led, ping ok, no disk access, error 6722). I tried again and waited 5 minutes before accessing the base and the disk: everything worked again
    Did any of you already try to put lot of GB simultaneously from more than 1 MAC/PC to an USB drive? Did your airport crash as described? Thank in advance!

  • PALM TX DOESN'T TALK TO AIRPORT BASE STATION

    Any ideas on what I can do to get my Palm TX's WIFI to talk to my base station? I've set up the network to run under the following:
    The Summary page shows that there are 0 wireless Clients. However, I've added the following in my setup:
    WEP
    Radio mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g compat)
    Channel: AUTOMATIC
    Mutlicast rate: 11Mbps
    Transmit power: 50 percent (don't need 100)
    WPA Group Key Timeout: 1hr
    Access Control on with my Palm's MAC address entered as having no limits on time
    DCHP Reservations has an IP address of 10.0.1.2 for the Palm
    ON THE PALM SIDE OF THINGS:
    Security was set to WEP
    Peer-to-Peer
    104-bit ASCII with a 13 WEP key password matching that of the base station.
    WIFI on and my network selected (the strength meter shows full reception)
    It connected a couple of times after tinkering with it, however at no time was it ever able to pull up a website. Any suggestions????
    Thanks,

    The PDA is getting picking up the IP address and a strong signal but still not giving me an active webpage. The wireless statistics page on the base station is showing a line graph in yellow, instead of green. The light on the base station is green and I can access the web via my iMac without a problem.
    I'm linked to the web via PPPoE (via my DSL), instead of "ethernet". Does that make a difference? When I've tried to change it to "ethernet", I lose my connection to the web completely.

  • Problem connecting more than 2 clients to Airport Extreme

    I have a first-generation airport extreme base station set up with WPA2 personal password and a MacBook, MacBook Pro, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. I have been able to get them all connected to the network but never at the same time. The most I have been able to connect at once are 2 clients, most of them time it's the MacBook and the Xbox. If i want to connect any of the others I have to restart the Airport and the modem and still I am only able to have 2 connected at once.
    When i use the MacBook pro, the Airport menu bar icon shows I am connected but it doesn't actually load anything, and the browser status bar hangs on "looking for…".
    Anyone experience this? If you want to know any other network settings please ask and I will do my best to track them down. My ISP (Road Runner/Time Warner) claims its an Airport issue.
    thanks in advance.

    It could be that the Airport Extreme is configured with a range of only two IP addresses. I had my Time Capsule configured with only one IP address, and my iPhone would show that it "found" the wireless network but it didn't show an IP address so it fell back to using the cellular data network.
    If this is the problem and if you are using the AEBS as a firewall (NAT enabled), then this should be easy to fix by increasing the range of IP addresses issued by the DHCP function. If you are not using it as a firewall and are just distributing a range of addresses issued by your ISP (very unlikely), then you would need to get a larger address range from your ISP, or set up the AEBS as a firewall to share one IP address.

  • Is it possible to return more than one field values to base form from LOV ?

    Hi
    I have a form with employee_number, employee_name, email_address, phone_nos...etc. I have a LOV to select employees from remote database, I want to send selected employee details to current form through LOV. Is it possible?
    Now I am doing like this..From LOV , I am selecting Employee number, after return that employee number, through process,button and javascript (onBlur), I am populating the other details for that employee_number.
    Please advice me if we can do this in better way in HTML_DB.
    Thanks
    Raju

    You may want to try creating your own custom popup lov
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/how_to_create_custom_popups.html
    you can then create your own lov report listing all people and then when you click the name required you can passback as many values as required to the calling form.

  • Problem: More than one VPN user at a time - Airport Extreme Base Station

    Hey Folks,
    Myself and my girlfriend both have work laptop PCs. It appears that the AEBS only allows one VPN user at a time. When a new user is logging in, it will kick out the other user.
    Is there a setting on the AEBS that will allow more than one VPN user? Is it a firewall setting?
    Thanks for your help.

    It may the the firmware. 7.3.1. does seem as friendly to some VPNs as 7.2.1. where we had no problem running two VPNs. You could consider switching back to 7.2.1.

    If your network configuration is:
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AEBS > (wireless) > Macs, then
    AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBS) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the Cable modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the computer(s)
    Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBS.
    - (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
    Setup the AEBS
    With the network components powered down, set up the AEBS, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Create a closed network (unchecked)
    - Wireless Security: Not enabled
    - Channel: Automatic

    - Configure: Using DHCP
    - WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
    Network tab
    - Distribute IP addresses (checked)
    - Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
    Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
    AirPort tab (optional)
    - Create a closed network (checked)
    Change Wireless Security
    - Wireless Security: WPA Personal
    Base Station Options - WAN Ethernet Port
    - Enable SNMP Access (unchecked)
    - Enable Remote Configuration (unchecked)
    - Enable Remote Printer Access (unchecked)
    Wireless Options
    - Transmitter Power: 10%
    Access Control tab (optional)
    - + <add the computer(s) that will access this wireless network>

  • Airport disconnects when there's more than one device

    I've got a really weird problem.. I have an Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n 3rd Generation. Software version 7.6 When more than one device connecrts to the base station it will disconnect everyone and then all devices will go into a connect/disconnect loops. Rapidly. This occurs only with wireless device. I watched the radar on my iPhone (5.1), Macbook running Snow Leopard, Macbook Air running Lion, and iPad 2 (5.1) blinking on and off, on and off. The only way to resolve this is to just have ONE person connect at a time.
    Things I've tried:
    1) Updating all software on all devices
    2) Updating Airport firmware
    3) Reboot and then restoring factory settings on the Airport when the reboot didn't work
    4) Turning off encryption (WP2)
    5) Making sure there are enough IP's for all the devices, turning off robustness, making sure the router is visible.
    Because I know someone will ask this: The Airport sits atop a credenza in the open air. Nothing on, around, or above it. It's been in this position for months with no problem. It's not overly warm to the touch and I even used compressed air to blow out the vents (just in case) when this problem began.
    I read once upon a time that the router gets a cache built up and that can cause these types of issues, but I have no idea how to delete said cache or even if it exists. It's just odd this only happens when more than one wireless device tried to connect to the network.
    Thoughts?

    I've resolved this! For some odd reason Apple won't let me denote this so I'm adding this reply. Turns out the problem was POWER related. The Airport was plugged into a power strip with several other devices. I unplugged all of those leaving just the Airport and the problem has not returned. If I add on all the devices, regardless of the power strip used, the problem returns. So it appears the Airport was just not getting enough power.
    I've got it on a UPS now and the problem has not returned.

  • Manage more than 20 Airport Extreme, model A1354 in same broadcast domain

    Problem: manage more than 20 Airport Extreme, model A1354 in the same broadcast domain), firmware 7.5.1
    We have more than 20 Airport Extreme (A1354) in the same broadcast domain with firmware 7.5.1, now we can not manage them anymore (with airport Utilty)
    (Reading the Airport Extreme configuration...) An error occured while reading the configuration. (-6753). When moving one airport to another VLAN, there is no problem anymore. (only if we put more than 20 basestations in the same VLAN)
    With the old type basestations (firmware 5.7) there is no such problem! But we need the new one, can you confirm this problem and will there be a solution ?

    Airport Extreme Base Station, Model Number: A1354, Firmware 7.5.1
    LAN: Private Lan /23 network
    Al clients have a dynamic IP adres, the Airport have a static IP adres (true ISC dhcp @3.1.2_0 server), we use bridge mode.

  • How do I configure the Airport utility to allow more than one rule per port?

    How do I configure the Airport Utility (AU) to allow more than one rule per port?
    I am on a home network, with broadband cable modem.  I have my airport extreme connected to the broadband modem.  I have 2 servers in my home that need to be accessed remotely from time (SSH), and they also serve data for an iphone app, so I'm using a variety of protocols.  The problem I'm running into is that AU seems to only allow one rule per protocol, so if I go to add another address for access on a specific port that is being used by one of my servers, AU tells me "The Port Mapping Entry Already Exists". 
    I need to be able to allow SSH on both of my servers, for instance.  Am I missing something?  Is this doable with AU?
    Thanks for any insight.
    Khalid

    The Port Mapping "rules" on the AirPorts will allow you to: 1. Map a single port to a single IP address OR 2) Map multiple ports to a single IP address.
    What you won't be able to do is map a single or multiple ports to multiple IP addresses.

  • How to allow access to my airport extreme network for more than one wirelss device at the same time

    I received a Kobo Vox ereader for Christmas and have not been able to connect to my home wireless network. It works with unsecured networks and I tested it out at an Apple reseller with their airport extreme netwok and it connects fine.
    It seems as if I cannot have more than one wireless device connected to my home netork at the same time.
    So here is what I did to test this out:
    - I powered off the Kobo vox
    - I shut down my macbook
    - I turned off the modem and unplugged the power cord and removed the cable connection from the modem.
    -  I also unplugged the airport extreme router.
    - I waited for about 15 minutes and then set it all up again and turned on the power to the router and the modem
    - I turned on the kobo  vox (I left my laptop shut down)
    - my kobo vox was able to connected to the internet.
    - I powered up my laptop and it couldn't connect to the internet.
    So, I went through the above steps again and powered up my laptop first and was able to connect to the internet. I then turned on my Kobo and was not able to connect.
    It seems as if I can only have one device connected to my wireless network at one time and that device is the first one to be powered on and connected to the internet.
    Am I missing some network or airport extreme settings...
    thanks

    Try the following on your Mac.....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Click the Internet Connection tab
    Change the setting for Connection Sharing to read Share a public IP address
    Click Update

  • Can the AirPort Extreme support more than one printer at a time?

    can the AirPort Extreme support more than one USB printer at a time if it is connected to a USB Hub?

    can the AirPort Extreme support more than one USB printer at a time if it is connected to a USB Hub?
    Yes.....IF.....you use a powered USB hub.
    I have had 3 printers connected at the same time in the past and assume that more would work as long you have a powered hub to support the number of ports that you need.

  • ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view

    I have created EO based on a database view than consists of two tables, and only one is updateable.
    When I try to update a row using EO, I got a following message: "ORA-01776-cannot modify more than one base table through a join view"
    In Forms, this issue is resolved by setting "Query Only" property of non-updateable items to "True".
    Is it possible to do something like that in ADF BC?
    Thanks

    Thanks for answer.
    When I set "updateable" property to "Never", that attribute is protected from any change.
    I'm sorry for incomplete usecase.
    I have set up a list of value on that attribute, because it is a lookup field for another table and I need to get an ID from that table.
    Basically, I need that attribute to be updateble for BC, but not for database.
