My Airport Extreme Stops working every evening...

Funny! My Airport Extreme stops working every evening at about the same time for 4-5 hours. I am assuming that there is some sort of "usage setting" that needs to be set. Unfortunately I cannot find that setting. Any help appreciated.

A windows 7 laptop is also not seeing the airport extreme wifi signal. So I have a Mac Book Air, iPad & wired devices connected fine. I have an iPhone 3Gs, an iPhone 4 and a windows 7 PC all failing to connect. They all connect fine to other wifi devices. They all connected fine to the Airport extreme until the recent problems started. I don't think it's an iPhone issue, therefore - more likely to be an issue with the Airport extreme?

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

  • Airport extreme stop working suddenly

    I have an airport extreme that is used to be connected to Vonage for the internet phone. It goes from cable modem>Vonage>airport extreme. It used to works quite well when I have the airport extreme sets to bridge mode. The problem started when I cancelled my Vonage and reconnect the airport extreme to my cable modem. At present time I cannot get any internet connection through AE. If I connect the cable modem to my computer, the internet will works fine. I'm getting some error message from AE about no internet connection, unable to obtain IP, unable to connect to DNS server.
    When I put in my old router, and connect the AE to the old router and set it up in a bridge mode, I'm able to get internet connection via the AE ethernet port. I have tried to reset the AE but I'm still end up with the same problem. Does anybody encounter with similar issue in past? Any suggestion in regard how to fix this thing? I'm hoping that I don't have to spend close to $200 to replace my AE.

    OK, one more wild stab and then I'm probably out of ideas (hopefully someone else has some new ones).
    Way back in the stone ages (remember @Home?), you had to use an assigned host name. Is there any chance your PC and Netgear are configured with an ISP-assigned host name and your Extreme isn't? I think the host name would go in the Internet, TCP/IP, DHCP Client ID field in the AirPort Utility but I'm not sure.
    To generalize this, look through all your Netgear configuration settings to see if you can find anything (like a host name, DHCP client ID, etc.) in it that you might need to transfer over to your Extreme configuration.
    Beyond this I just don't know. Anyone else out there got any suggestions?

  • Airport extreme stopped working with dsl modem was set on ppoe and changed to bridge then lost internet does not show up in utility

    No internet or discovery on airport extreme after trying to resolve a conflict. Switched ppoe setting to bridge as suggested by utility got solid green light but lost everything else to include discovery in utility.

    having similar problem.  Internet is dropping frequently.  Modem appears to work OK when I connect laptop via ethernet and configure modem to PPOE.  After resetting modem to bridge mode and connecting airport, it'll work for some time but then I'll lose a connection.  it'll sometimes reconnect but not always.  using airport extreme as base station
    recently added express as extender.  connected via ethernet and appeared to work for awhile.  still have drops.
    then deleted extreme from network and tried to run with just express.  again, worked a bit but dropped frequently.
    now back to extreme as base and express as extender.  with some fooling around, my Airport Utility still shows express as green.  Except it's unplugged.  so now airport utilitiy thinks there's a ghost router our there.  any usggestions on how to clear that?
    thx.  mc

  • My Timecapsule Stops Working every few days!

    I have a 2TB Timecapsule that has worked flawlessly for about 18 months.  Over the last month it has stopped working every few days.  When I say it stops working the wirless networks go off and the wired router stops.  The lights are green on the back where the cables connect and on front I have a green status light.  But the devices stops functioning.  I pull the power and wait a little while and plug it back in and everything works again for a few days (could be a week) could be 2-3 days. 
    It is running the latest firmware and I haven't changed its configuration in many months.
    No idea what to do... Any sugestions?
    Joe

    The lockup is across all devices??
    Are any still working when the computer say is unable to connect?
    It could be the latest firmware that is the problem.. that changed about 1-2months ago.
    You can try doing a factory reset and a new clean setup but more than likely the issue will continue.
    To go back to earlier firmware hold down the option key when you choose firmware. It will then show older as well as new versions.. Select 7.6.1 or even 7.5.2
    Factory reset after the firmware and do the setup again.

  • Why does my safari stops working every time I try to swipe back to previous page

    My safari stops working every time I try to swipe (multitouch) back to previous page? There's no spinning beach ball or anything, but the page just stops responding altogether. If I close the non-responding page fast enough the other pages remain fine, but if I just leave the non-reponding page as it is the entire app become non-reponsive and need to be forced quite. I'm running OS X 10.9.1 on a late 2012 MacBook Pro Ret. Anyone having the same prob?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Airport Express stopped working...

    My airport express stopped working some time ago so I bought a new one so I could play my music remotely again. My ld one just "disappeared" , it no longer showed on iTunes. I am having problems setting the new one up. I am using airport utilities and going through all the prompts. It is making me join my existing wireless network. At the end when it goes to restart, I get an error message "Airport utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restarting".
    I am stuck, any suggestions?

    Quick check list
    Is your AE firmware updated to 7.3.2?
    Is your OS 10.5.4?
    Is your Airport Utility software 5.3.2?
    What are you using for a wireless base station? is it a combo modem / router, or are you using an Apple Extreme Base Station in bridge mode with a third party router?
    All of the above are possible issues.
    Provide some more detail in your post and the group will be more likely to be able to help
    Cheers

  • After Service, Airport card stops working randomly on macbook pro 17" early 2009

    Hi,
    So after the last time my computer was serviced, the airport card stops working randomly on moving the screen.
    Upons restarting the computer, it sometimes says wi-fi hardware not installed. Then, if I move my machine around,
    lift it up, turn it around, place it back on the table and restart it, it works again. I don't understand this.
    And all this started happening the moment my warranty ran out. Extremely frustrating!!

    It may be possible that one of the following may be the issue:
    The internal AirPort Extreme card is not seated properly.
    The internal Wi-Fi antenna connector is not seated properly in the AirPort Extreme card.
    The internal AirPort Extreme card's connector is faulty or damaged.
    The internal AirPort Extreme card is faulty.
    To get an idea on how the Extreme card is installed, please check out the following iFixit article.

  • How do I configure my Airport Extreme to work in Bridge Mode and provide specific IP addresses to clients

    My Airport Extreme is working with an Airport Express to wirelessly extend my wireless network.  Both Airports are configured in Bridge Mode per the instructions I found on Apple's support site.  I want to assign a specific DHCP address to a wireless camera that is in range of the Extreme, but I understand that the Extreme needs to be in DHCP Only mode to do this.  But if I change the mode to DHCP Only, the Extreme will lose contact with the Express.  How can I get both functions to work - wireless network extension and specific DHCP addresses?

    Then what device is providing DHCP? Only once device per subnet should be the DHCP server. One should be DHCP and NAT and the other in Bridge mode for most home setups. The unit with DHCP and NAT should be the one connected to your cable or DSL and the other set in Bridge mode only extends your network.
    On the wireless config page set whichever you're using to extend your network to "Extend a wireless network" and give it the details of the network to which you're attaching it.

  • Setting up a Apple Airport Extreme to work on the Telecom New Zealand Broadband network?

    Has anyone had any success in setting up their airport extreme to work on the Telecom New Zealand broadband network without having to connect it to the modem which NZ Telecom supply?
    Any advice and tips would be welcomed!

    1. Since a "router" is needed next to the cable modem and before the ethernet switch, should we put the new Extreme in that basement location? Or, should we instead put the new Extreme somewhere on the main floor of the house (connected by ethernet) and leave the old one where it is?
    Assuming the older Extreme is no older than Gen3 or Gen4 it is a perfectly adequate router for the speeds that cable will generally give you.
    And therefore it is best to bridge the new AC extreme and use it upstairs via ethernet. That will then give you the best wireless in the most suitable area of the house.
    2. Should we somehow bridge the two Airport Extremes (the old one and the new one) into one wireless network?
    Yes, what is called roaming network. Both units create a wireless network.
    You simply setup same name and same security/password on all the devices for wireless. The wireless channels are the differentiator.. and you can either leave that on auto or take some control over it and set manually. I would be inclined to do it manually just because the AC wireless needs the 149 channel for high speed AC.. so you do not want the old Extreme in the basement using that. Force that one to channel 36 or 40. However it is likely to work itself out ok on auto.. but I recommend you check it.
    The apple docos on roaming are rather ancient..
    Here is a post with newer info.
    Setting Up Roaming - New AirPort Extremes and Utility
    3. Should we go a further step and also bridge in one or both of the old Airport Express units, perhaps on the top floor of the house for example?
    Yes, if you have a black spot with poor wireless you can add the Express to help. The old ones are single band and will probably work better at 2.4ghz but whatever suits you.. perhaps setup one on 2.4ghz and one on 5ghz.

  • My airport extreme is working but will not connect to my mac pro

    my airport extreme is working and all other devices connect except my mac pro computer,  How do I resolve this problem?

    Hi fdrussell,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Were your Airport Extreme and Mac Pro communicating earlier?  If so, what changed?  
    First try shutting down the computer, and recycling the power to the Airport Extreme.  Then start the Mac Pro and see if that resolves the issue.  
    If needed, perform a Hard reset of the Airport Extreme:

  • After Software Update 2007-004 airport card stopped working after wakeup

    Hi,
    I have a powerbook G4 - DVI running 10.3.9. After I have installed Software Update 2007-003, when my computer goes to sleep and then wakes up, airport card stops working. I had to open the back of the computer, unplug and plug the airport card, then it starts working again. But next time the computer goes to sleep, it stops working again.
    Does anyone have a similar problem? Any work arounds?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Will airport extreme card work on other wireless systems

    will airport extreme card work with other networking systems such as time warner cable with a router?

    Note, Airport Extreme on PowerMacs is limited to 802.11g.  If you find you get a router that is 802.11n, and have devices that need 802.11n speed, they should be on a different wireless network.  Otherwise you can set the network to be 802.11n and 802.11g for both 'n' and 'g' devices to hook up to it from the router in question.  Be sure the PowerMac in question does support Extreme, and not just the original Airport by visiting this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1621
    And identifying your Mac in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3082
    If you can't find your Mac on the article, go to Apple menu -> About This Mac and tell us the Machine ID. If it is a notebook, the name of the machine is on the screen frame. If it is a machine with a display and a built-in optical drive that has no name, it may be an iMac.  That is significant as well.  Since you posted in the PowerMac forum, without telling us your machine, we can't help you further until you do.
