My airport extreme in french

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Lion - I need do disconnect my hard drive on my Airport Extreme - but the application is in French? or Portuguese not sure...(no offense to either the good people of either country...)
Many thanks...

The AirPort Extreme setup manual is pretty clear. The Extreme should be be mounted horizontally out in the open on a desk or top of a cabinet to allow for proper cooling and correct operation of the wireless antennas.
If the media cabinet happens to be metal, locating any router inside of an enclosure like this will severely affect the performance of the device.
Here is the info from the Setup Manual, which you have:
AirPort Extreme Placement Considerations The following recommendations can help your AirPort Extreme achieve maximum wireless range and optimal network coverage.
Â Place your AirPort Extreme in an open area where there are few obstructions, such as large pieces of furniture or walls. Try to place it away from metallic surfaces.
Â If you place your AirPort Extreme behind furniture, keep at least an inch of space between the AirPort Extreme and the edge of the furniture.
Chapter 4 Tips and Troubleshooting 31
Â Avoid placing your AirPort Extreme in areas surrounded by metal surfaces on three or more sides.
Â If you place your AirPort Extreme in an entertainment center with your stereo equipment, avoid completely surrounding the AirPort Extreme with audio, video, or power cables. Place your AirPort Extreme so that the cables are to one side. Maintain as much space as possible between the AirPort Extreme and the cables.
Â Try to place your AirPort Extreme at least 25 feet (7.6 meters) from a microwave oven, 2.4 or 5 gigahertz (GHz) cordless phones, or other sources of interference.

Hi gingerjedi,
It's normal with your actual Airport and confirm by Apple, but ...
Only If you see your printer in Airport Admin Utility under Printer :
1) Download and install : http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/macosx/foomatic-rip-2008-01-30. dmg
2) Download and install : http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/macosx/gplgs-8.61-ub.dmg
3) Download and install : http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/macosx/hpijs-2.7.10-UB.dmg
4) Repair permissions with Onyx or with your Install Disk
5) Restart your computer
6) Restart your connection with your Printer (Cable-Power-Connection with your Airport)
7) In Prefs Panes, select Printer ( + ) and install a new Printer
8) Select your indicated Printer in the menu choice. If you have a Name for your Airport, give this Name under Place or Emplacement (excuse, i am French) and select HP Deskjet D2400 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended).
9) And click Done
With this Solution, you can just print. All other software possibilities can not run under the Airport. It is normal.
I think all is ok for you.

Can't make Airport Extreme router work with non-Apple device

I am trying to help a friend who has a PC (Windows 7) that has a wired Ethernet connection to his girlfriend's Airport Extreme router. He wants his Internet-capable Blu-Ray player and her IPad to wirelessly access the Internet via the Aiport Extreme router, with both the Blu-Ray player and the IPad's Internet access protected by WPA-2 encryption (both devices are capable of WPA-2). How do I do this?
Here are the problems we've run into:
1) The Airport Utility for Windows (5.6.1) has been installed on the P.C., and we've used it to update the firmware on the Airport Extreme router. However, after we followed the Aiport Utility instructions to set up the network, all the router wanted to do was look for an Apple device. His girlfriend and her IPad are out-of-town right now, so the only device within range was the Blu-Ray player, and the router did not see it. Not only that, but almost all the menu options on the Airport Utility were "greyed out" (unusable), except for "Configuration." I am very troubled by the fact that the Airport Extreme router seems to want to look only for Apple devices.
2) In order to get Internet access for his Blu-Ray player for the time being, my friend pushed the "reset" button on the Airport Extreme router, and he can now use his Blu-Ray player for Netflix and other Internet streaming options. However, the Blu-Ray's wireless Internet access is an unencrypted connection, and the Airport Extreme router is displaying a flashing amber light -- not a good situation.
3) Although I know his girlfriend could access the router via her IPad when she returns, she is French-Canadian, and her IPad operates in French. I happen to know some French, but I have enough trouble trying to understand wireless networking terminology in English without having to try to figure out the equivalent terms in French. Thankfully, the Airport Utility for Windows on his P.C. is in English, so that's what we've got to use to solve this problem.
I have profound respect for Apple products, but I'm a Windows/Linkysis router guy, so that's why I'm stumped. Can anybody out there help me?

Which model of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) do they have? What is the version of firmware that you updated it to?
By default, the AEBS will broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a network name (or SSID) of something like Apple Network NNNNNN. This would be similar to a Linksys when first powered-up.

Airport extreme + Airport express WDS Windows only problem

Hi,
I bought an airport extrem to replace my Belkin and redesign my network@home.
The airport extrem give Internet/ethernet linked to a Linux PC, and eyehome. He also gives Internet to a macmini, a powerbook, and a macbookpro.
I had an airport express which gives me airtunes before, I tried to use it for a WDS.
It seems to work fine if I go in the studio near my house with the MBP > I see my network, connect and surf fine.
But, I put it in WDS to extend the network for a (sh#*$€ù£) PC under windows for my son who loves NWN2...
This Pc had a belkin wifi usb adapter which works slightly well before; Here the Belkin utility say that the signal to my network is really strong but he don't want to connect. He gets a local IP 169.xxx.xxx.xxx
If I use the airport utility tool on the pc to connect the airport express : it doesn't see anything ; no network, no airport express.
When I use the MBP with the airport utility tool I can see that the password doesn't have 13 digit likes the one I give but it seems to have 26 characters under the password.
So I think that it convert it in the wep128 key but I don't know how to get it in clear! (he do it again when I try to put the only password). I looked @ my keychain but it only have the clear password which I Know..of course
Do you have suggestions to get this key in clear?
MBP, MM, PWBK & Pc Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Well! I've got it
with the airport utilities > clic to "configure" BUT have look @ the menu and not the visual menu.
In French (sorry) : Borne d'acces > mot de passe equivalent du réseau : select
You will see the password (of course you know it before) BUT also : the hexadecimal code.
I put this hexadecimal number in the pc authentification tool and it works fine : I have my IP, and I could go to the internet with it.

Airport Extreme has ethernet connection but no internet connection

I am having an airport extreme connectivity issue that has yet to be resolved. For me, the cable modem (a Motorola Surfboard) recognizes the airport extreme (I have the round white saucer one) but the airport extreme, despite giving me an 'ethernet' connection (that also shows up as full signal strength in the menu bar), cannot connect to the internet, no matter what I do.
Seems the airport extreme is not recognizing/picking up the ip address of my computers.
The airport base station is recognized by airport utility, has an ID and I can name it as well as create a network, but no matter what I do and despite being told that I am connected to the internet via ethernet, there is no connection to the internet.
I have a dual G5 desktop hooked up directly to the cable modem and am trying to wirelessly connect a new macbook pro intel core dual.
Each computer can access the internet when directly hooked up to the cable modem, but neither can access the internet wirelessly.. so it's not the computers, nor is is the cable modem. I called Time Warner, all is fine with that connection.
Both my ethernet cables work (checked them both). So it must be the airport extreme.
I was on the phone with apple tech support for 5 hours yesterday!!! They made me run through all the things I did myself. From trying to reconfigure and rename the airport to completely resetting the airport. None of this worked.
And right now I'm on hold for a multi-media product specialist with apple tech support.
But they didn't do a thing for me yesterday so I'm hoping someone on here may know what to do.
I think I need a new airport extreme. Anyone???

Hello Laura, Jim, Richard...
Now my internet connexion work on my AEBS (Airport Extreme Base Station)... It seems that (for me) DHCP was the problem...
DHCP server (10.0.1.x) activated on the AEBS conflict with DHCP server (192.168.1.x) activated on the modem.
Before the AEBS 5.7 update (i made yesterday) this configuration with two DHCP servers with different IP addresses worked well... but not now...!
So, i disabled the Modem DHCP server. I rebooted the modem and the AEBS and success, my internet connexion worked again...
I used manual setup with fixed IP, submask, DNS to connect the AEBS to the modem...
I hope this could help you, Laura and Jim...
Sorry for mistakes, i'm french mac user

Airport Extreme won't connect

We have had our airport extreme connected to the internet for a year but recently it will no longer send out a signal with out modem. The modem has been checked by several techs who say it's in working order, and will allow internet when plugged directly into the computer. The airport as well has been tested and will work when connected to a different modem. How do I get this thing to start working again with the modem? It sends out a signal that all three of our apple computers pick up but when they open safari it say under network diagnostics that the airport, airport settings, network settings, and ISP are all working but only the internet and the server fail. What should I do? any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

Hello Nosylla,
Can you confirm me, the model of your airport extrem base station, the firmware version (-> airport utilities) ?
Have you recently updated your base station to the v5.7 firmware ?
I think i have the same problem like you...!
Sorry for mystakes, i'm a french mac-user

Is it possible to extend an Airport Extreme Network with a normal router ?

Hi everyone !
I know this question as been asked a lot before, but not in this way, I always saw : How to connect an Airport Extreme/Express to a Normal (D-Link, Linksys, Ect.) Router. What I wan't to do is connect a normal router to my existing Airport Extreme to extend the range of it. I know you can extend the network with an Airport Express, the thing is, i wan't to try with the router I replaced by the Airport Extreme. It's an D-Link DIR-615. If someone know how to do this it will be very nice and helpfull for me! I know on Apple website it says that it's not possible but some people seems to get it to work!
Thanks a lot !
(Sorry for my bad english i'm french Canadien)

You can extend the wireless range of the AirPort with a D-Link or the other way around ... BUT only if the connection between them is wired. This would be the basis of a roaming network. If you must have them interconnected by wireless, then it will NOT work.

Impossible to Wifi link G5 with Airport Extreme to Sagem Livebox

I am not sure quite where to this. Thanks for any help.
Kevin
I live in France and have just aqquired a Livebox from Orange. I have installed An Airport Extreme in my 2004 dual processor G5 with the aim of having a wire free connection.
I already have an up and running ADSL line. I unplugged the MAC ADSL (high speed) Ethernet modem and took it off the the telephone plugs from the wall sockets (to avoid any interference). I then configured the livebox using a laptop PC with a USB Orange WiFi connection. This worked perfectly.
With this running, I tried to link in the Mac as a second computer using the specified methodology. However, when I put in the WPA/WEP code, the MAC said that this code format is not accepted. I tried various things over about 2 hours but with no success. I even moved the Livebox-38d1 closer next to the MAC.
The MAC detected it on the "finder" Airport list (at the top Right hand side of the main screen).
As far as security codes are concerned I am not sure what the difference is between WPA and WEP, if any. Actually, the automatic security code requested was WEP and NOT WPA Personal as in the documents from Orange.
I have read the UK Orange site help notes (although some of the links are not working... ).
Advice and help please.
Note that all I am trying to do at this point in time is to use Wifi to connect the MAC up as a second computer on the Livebox.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Kevin GARDINER in Lille

On the French forum: http://forums.macgeneration.com I found the solution (after reading about thirty contributions). The Sagem Livebox key to be used is WEP hexadecimal and NOT WPA Personal as written in he Orange documenation.
I hope this may help somebody.
Until the next time. Kevin

How do I use my airport extreme with my FIOS router?

How do I use my AirPort Extreme base station with my FIOS Router to extend my network? I have hard disks connected to my AirPort Extreme and would lik to access them.

Probably can't answer all your questions - but.... I use a Linksys (wired and wireless) router as my primary entry point for FIOS. I use a Time Capsule and an Airport Express as a common wireless connection. So I have two visibile wireless networks and use them both depending on where I am in the house. Both the TC and AEx can be seen either wirelessly or wired from the entire network. Note - the Linksys provides all the DHCP - you set the apple routers as "bridge mode."

Help setting up Open DNS with new airport extreme

I cant seem to get Open DNS to work with a new airport extreme. The status says I am not using Open DNS and its not filtering anything. I have followed the exact steps for set up listed on their website, checked the dns settings, cleared both caches and restarted the computer, modem and router with no success. I set the airport up in bridged mode, although I tried the other option under setup, but not sure what I was doing? I picked up this router because I wanted easy set up and the apple store assured me it would work with Open DNS. Oh, and I also downloaded the latest firmware update on the router. Can anyone help me with the settings or what else I need to check?

Sorry, I am not familiar with this product, so I checked online to pick up some information. Here I am referring to the information found here:
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6096
I found that your device is mentioned as follows in the intro under Section 1 of this document:
The BellSouth supplied Westell 2100, 2200 and 6100 models (Models A90-210030-04, B90-220030-04, and B90-610030-06/C90-610030-06, respectively) share many features and functions.
Next, I am referring to the information under Section 2, under the heading of Standard Default Mode Connection (separate hub or switch present). Unless you have changed the configuration on the Westell, this is how your device is operating. In this mode, the Westell device is acting both as a modem and router in one unit.
So, an attached router (AirPort Extreme) must be configured as a switch to work correctly. That is what Bridge Mode is....the AirPort Extreme is operating as a switch when it is in Bridge Mode (which would be the correct setting to use when the Westell is set to its Standard Default Mode).
Any changes that you want to make regarding DNS settings would need to be made on the Westell device, since it is acting as the main router on your network.
In Bridge Mode, the AirPort Extreme simply passes that information through to its connected devices. You will not be able to make any DNS related changes on the AirPort Extreme since it receives that info from the Westel device. Some service providers force you to use their DNS servers, so you might want to check with Bell South or AT&T for more information in this regard.
If you want to be able to configure the AirPort Extreme as the main router on your network, and instruct it to use the DNS information that you want, you will need to refer to the section under the heading of Bridged Ethernet Mode ( separate router present).
Please note that the first item under this heading specifies that "This is the preferred configuration when using a separate external router..." (which would be the AirPort Extreme in your case)
So, it appears to me that this would be the way that you must reconfigure the Westell device to allow the AirPort Extreme to function as the "main" router on your network. In this type of setup, you will be able to enter the DNS information that you want to use under the setup for the AirPort Extreme and it will act as you instruct.
The AirPort Extreme would not be configured in Bridge Mode for this....it would be configured to "Share a public IP address".
The next item in the article specifies that you "Must use a PPPoE client on the Router." This means that the AirPort Extreme would be configured to Connect Using = PPPoE as follows:
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = PPPoE
You would enter your user name (probably your email address), password, etc in this area. Leave the Service Area box completely blank. Set Connection to Always On, and Disconnect if Idle to Never
Click Update to save the new settings. Power off the Westell device after this and then restart it so that it will pick up the new information that you have programmed into the AirPort Extreme.
I want to stress that this is how I would try to configure the Westell and AirPort Extreme. But, as I said, have not used a Westell device, so I cannot say that this will work correctly for you.
It might be an excellent idea to contact Bell South or AT&T Support to ask for their opinion on this before you decide to change the configuration of the Westel device and the AirPort Extreme.
This type of thing can be intimidating for users, so you might elect to use the services of someone like the Geek Squad at Best Buy, or a similar service from a local computer firm. Perhaps the Apple store could help as well.
If it is not critical that you use Open DNS, you might want to simply leave things "as is", with the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.

How do I open the same ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station for multiple computers at the same time?

As the title suggests...
I have a mix of five Mac and PC's at home using an Airport Extreme Base Station as the router.   I need many ports opened on the AEBS for all of the computers- not just one computer. (for example: three people want to play TF2 on Steam at the same time; each machine needs the correct ports open on the router).   Port forwarding only allows me to forward a given port to a single IP, yet I need that port open for five differnt IP's, all at the same time.
How do I do that on an AEBS?
In the same way, I have a small office of four iMacs using an old airport with the same exact issue.   I would like to be able to connect to all of them remotely with Apple Remote Desktop, but the port forwarding on the airport only allows a port to forward to a single IP.   I want to be able to tunnel into the office network and log onto any machine behind the Airport extreme... not just a single IP.    I currently have it set up where I can tunnel into the office from my house, I can find the one machine that the port forwarding has been assigned to, I can log on and everything is just fine... with one machine.    How do I open the firewall for the other machines?
TL,DR version: How do you open ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station instead of forwarding ports?   Forwarding ports doesn't work for multiple IP's.

You can open a single or multiple ports to a single device or different ports to different devices, but you cannot open the same port to multiple devices via the AirPort Utility for the Apple routers.

How do I add an airport extreme to a cable modem with only one ethernet port, while keeping that port connected to my Mac?

I have a mac pro connected by ethernet to a cable modem via ethernet. There is only one ethernet port on the modem.
I want to keep the Mac connected via ethernet for speed. Is there a way that I can add an airport extreme to this set up - for my ipad and roku, and for guests to use - or do I need to buy a router to put between the modem and the mac?
If I need a router, what kind?
Thanks.

The modem connects to the WAN "O" port on an AirPort Extreme router.
The Mac Pro connects to one of the three LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme router.
Or if you do not need the ability to connect a hard drive to the USB port on the router, you can save a bit by using an AirPort Express.
The modem connects to the WAN "O" port, the Mac Pro connects to the LAN <-> port
Either the AirPort Extreme router or AirPort Express router will allow up to 50 wireless device to connect.
There are many other wireless modems offered by other manufacturers as well.

Airport Extreme no longer recognizes or provides internet to wired devices

Not sure if it was the power outage or an update that is the problem; but, I had a 5th generation Airport Extreme as the center of my home network with a solid connection to the internet for both my wired and wireless components. A few days ago, after a power flicker (all components on surge protectors) my wireless internet would not stay connected more than 45 seconds before dropping and oddly, none of my wired components we showing up on the network or getting an internet signal from the AEBS. After two hours with my ISP technical support personnel we deduced that the problem was the AEBS and the modem was fine. I bought a new AEBS yesterday (the new long cube one) to use until my appointment to have the 5th gen looked at. Plugged that in and instantly my wireless network came back up - rock solid. However, anything I connect directly to the AEBS via ethernet does not get an internet connection or show up in the network. I searched for two days in these forums for a similar problem - but, have gotten nowhere. I used my wired connections for internet phone service and really need to get this fixed soonest. Much thanks for any help anyone can throw my way.

I would find it odd that you would have a replacement AirPort and still not have Ethernet connectivity ... but, of course, anything is possible. The DHCP service on the AirPort provides IP addresses to both wired and wireless clients by default so it shouldn't work for either if there was something amiss with it.
At this point, I would suggest that you try the following:
Perform a "factory default" reset on the AirPort. After it resets it will default to its "out-of-the-box" configuration which is a wireless Internet router that will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN.
Without making any changes to the AirPort, try connecting any of your wired devices to it. If it still does not get the proper IP address and network connectivity I would suggest that you try performing a complete power recycle of your networking hardware. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details.

Time machine can no longer see USB drive connected to airport extreme

According to what I read, as of March, a year ago March, with update 7.3.1 Time Machine will see the USB hard drive connected to the Airport Extreme. This was working fine. It no longer does. I had the latest airport extreme software and firmware updates. I tried going back to 7.3.1.
Does any one have any idea how to make Time Machine work again when connected to my airport extreme?

what exactly do you mean when you say that TM doesn't see the drive? do you mean you can not choose it as the destination TM drive in TM system preferences? do you see the airport drive mounted in finder? if yes, connect it directly to your mac and repair the disk (not permissions) with disk utility. then move it back to AEBS. see if that helps. if not try the following terminal command
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
it should not be necessary with drives connected to AEBS but it might work.

USB HDD not ejected properly...no longer recognized by Airport Extreme

I'm hoping someone can help. I'm quite desperate as all of my DVDs are on this drive.
I have a 2 TB WD USB harddrive that I connect to my airport extreme to use as my iTunes storage. Up until 2 days ago there have never been any issues. I was messing around, cleaning up around the router and hard drive and the USB cable was pulled out of the harddrive. Now when I plug the USB cable back into the drive, it is not recognized in the Airport Utility. I installed an older version of Airport Utility and it shows the volume, but I cannot do anything with it. It is also not recognized in finder. If I plug the drive directly into my MBP, it mounts fine and is totally accessible. What could have meesed up with the drive? I have another 1TB drive that I tried and this is recognizable in Airport Utility and finder along with a USB stick I have laying around. It is only the drive that has all my stuff on that is no longer usable.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be very greatful.
For what it's worth, I've tried everything I can find on here and the web short of reformatting the entire drive. I can't do this as I'll lose all my "stuff".
Thanks in advance.
Marc

This is a user to user discussion area. So it is unpredictable as to when someone with a suggestion will respond to your post. An hour in the middle of a work day isn't a long time.
Since the card is recognized, there isn't anything wrong with that side of the card. If the card isn't receiving a signal, either the RF side of the card has failed, the antenna wire isn't connected properly, or the antenna in the PowerBook has failed.
