My new airport extrem wont connect with my time warner cable modem
My new aiport extrem wontconnect tomy time warner cable modem
Have you power cycled the modem for long enough to deregister the previous client/router MAC address.. it can take 20min or longer off time. If the cable modem is also a router then the AE has to be in bridge mode.
Sometimes there are connection issues.. modem to WAN port of the AE..
Exactly what modem do you have?
Are the connectivity lights on when you plug in ethernet?

New Airport Extreme only connected with N protocol
I just got a brand new Airport Extreme. I disabled wifi on my verizon fios router, plugged in the ethernet, and went through the Airport's setup. I'm connected on all my devices and the range is so much better, but it doesn't seem like my MBP has connected using AC. Below, I have included some information about my computer and the router. Could anyone advise me on how to connect using AC? Do I need to do anything other than the default setup? I noticed in advanced options on the router, that 5ghz is not enabled by default? Also, I'm sitting about 10 feet from the router with no obstructions.
My Computer:
Model Name: MacBook Pro, Late 2013
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz
My Airport Extreme:
Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x134)
Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (6.30.223.154.65)
Locale: FCC
Country Code: US
Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
My Network:
Network Utility Link Speed: 217 MBit/sec
PHY Mode: 802.11n
Channel: 1
Country Code: US
Network Type: Infrastructure
Security: WPA2 Personal
Signal / Noise: -41 dBm / -92 dBm
Transmit Rate: 156
MCS Index: 215ghz wireless is in fact working.. but the Mac is setup to connect to the strongest signal not the fastest.. so you have actually connected to 2.4ghz N wireless..
The way to fix this is simple.. change the wireless name for 5ghz in wireless options of airport utility.. ie.
Make the name short and sweet.. no spaces.. no apostrophe.. just simple.
Mine doesn't show as much because I refuse to buy the AC model..
But you can make sure your country is set correctly.. and all the rest can be left on auto.
Then in the laptop force the connection to AE5ghz or whatever you name it. -
I just bought a airport wireless route and I have a time warner modem. My problem is my modem is not connecting to my apple airport router. What do I need to do?
Power cycle the cable modem.. you may try leaving it off 5min.. might be enough.. sometimes you need 15min or even longer.. Followed by power cycle of the AE.
Nothing else should be connected to the modem.. except the router that will get the public IP as they only hand out ONE> -
Would love some suggestions as to ho to get thi airport working again!
I too just got time warner. I now have a motorola surfboard sb 6141 attached to my airport extreme. I have had problems with the AE when I was on DSL. I had to unplug it on average every 2 days to reset it as I would loose my WIFI connection. I've updated it to the most recent firmware and I reset it to factory condition when I joined Time warner today.
The modem and router are in the kichen and if I'm on my laptop there the connection is almost alway great. But occasionally it becomes bad. In my office on the iMac the eventhough the signal strength is excellent the speed is either great or exceedingly slow. If I unplug the router and plug it back it, it becomes speedy again in the office. So I guess I need a new router, but this one is only a year old. Any suggestions? -
BRAND NEW Airport Extreme Wont Connect to Internet
I'm trying to set up my AEBS and I run the wizard and everything checks out ok, then when the router restarts it says that I do not have a valid IP address and that it is looking for my PPPoE host.
I connect directly to my DSL modem via the Ethernet cable that WAS in my WAN port and it works fine, so I know my modem is fine.
Any suggestions?Try changing from PPoE to "Ethernet" set Configure IPv4 to "DHCP"
This is done in AirPort Utility (manual setup)>Internet

When I connect Time Capsule to Time Warner Cable Modem, amber light flashes
I want to use Time Capsule as my primary wireless network base. When I connect my Time Capsule directly to my Time Warner Cable Modem, the amber light flashes and Time Capsule won't appear in AirPort Utility on my MacBookPro. I've tried unplugging everything and waiting to reset cable modem and Time Capsule.
Before I got the Time Capsule, I used a wireless router. The only way I can get Time Capsule to work is as a guest on my old wireless router network. I can't get the Time Capsule to configure itself directly with my Time Warner Cable Modem.
Any advice would be most appreciated.This situation is pretty common now and it has nothing to do with the any of the routers but rather how cable modems are configured to work. They seem to latch on to the first device connected to them whether it be a router or a computer and will not allow any other device to access their network. The solution is to power off the cable modem and wait a minute. While you're waiting disconnect the old connection from the cable modem. Power up the cable modem and then connect the new device, router or computer, to the cable modem. Give it a few seconds to complete the connection and you should be ready to go. You have to do this every time you switch connections to the cable modem. This is also why you should set your router to serve addresses so that you don't have to do the cable modem samba when you want to connect a new device to the network.

New AirPort Extreme Base Station with OS X 10.3.9?
I have an iMac running 10.3.9 along with a XP box. Can I use the new AirPort Extreme Base Station with this setup. The sys reqs seem to say that I need OS X 10.4.8. I want to use this new wireless base station with AppleTV.
I really don't want to upgrade to 10.4.x especially since Leopard (10.5) is supposed to be coming out soon. Of course this supposes I can even run Leopard on my non-intel iMac.I have an iMac running 10.3.9 along with a XP box.

In order to connect to the new Airport Extreme Base Station 10.3.9 will be fine.
In order to use Apple TV then you will need to be running 10.4.8
I really don't want to upgrade to 10.4.x especially

soon. Of course this supposes I can even run Leopard
on my non-intel iMac.
You will be able to run 10.5 on non-Intel Macs. -
Does the new airport extreme support backing up via time machine to an external hard drive pluged into the usb port
Yes, but you might want to note that the port on the AirPort Extreme is only USB 2.0, and that it runs at about half the speed of the USB 2.0 port on a computer, so things are going to be quite SLOW as far as backups are concerned, or anything else for that matter.

New AirPort Extreme backwards compatible with old Mac?
I have an old airport express from around 2004 and I made the mistake of upgrading directly from snow leopard to mountain lion. Subsequently I have been living with having to re enter my long WEP key every time I turn on my computer because of an incompatibility issue between the airport and my 2010 iMac. I want to get an AirPort Extreme to end this issue as well as increase the distance my computer and other wifi devices can be away from the base station.
The problem is that my parents have what i believe to be a 2006 intel iMac. I know the utility software for a new airport won't run on their old iMac. That's fine because I can run it on mine.
My question is, would my parent's old iMac have issues connecting to a network running on a new AirPort Extreme?
Thanks!No, there would be no issues as WiFi is a standard.

New Airport Extreme works fine with everything except my husband's Toshiba running Windows 7
I have no idea how to fix this problem. He scanned his computer (Windows 7) for viruses, and nothing came back. He deleted our home network from his laptop, then added it back.
His computer shows that he has "limited access" to our home network and NO internet access. It also shows he has four bars, so he has a good signal. Four other people in the house using macs, ipods, ipads, and kindle fires aren't having an issues.
Is the problem with his laptop or with my new Airport Extreme? We upgraded from a very old version (I think it was the 1st one), he never had a problem with the old Airport Extreme. He actually didn't have a problem with the new one until about a week after I had it up, which makes me think the problem is with his computer?
His Toshiba has no problem connecting to his Verizon mifi.
Could someone please offer me some advice?I think I may have solved my own problem. I read somewhere online that he needs to hit his "F2" button. He hit it and his computer hooked right up to our network. Previously, we would have to restart Airport Extreme and his computer so he could connect. Even doing that the connection would last between five minutes and two days.
Very strange. Hopefully problem solved. Time will tell. -
New Airport Extreme (Jan 2007) with Comcast Cable Network
Im a total NOOB. Please excuse my poor knowledge of Routers and the like.
I really need some advice from the MAC community to steer me in the right direction. I want to give as much information as possible in order for you folks to help me down the right path.
CURRENT SET UP:
(3) Apple Computers in 3 bedrooms. (1) iMac Core2 Duo, (1) iMac Core Duo, (1) eMac G4. All have built in wireless cards from Apple.
Broadband Cable Internet from Comcast. Cable comes from wall directly to a Motorolla Surf Board Wireless SBG900. The Wireless Motorolla Cable Modem sits on the floor in the corner of one bedroom. All 3 computers work perfect. Never drop a signal. All very fast connections. No Internet or sharing issues at all. I also decided to add the "Plug in" Airport Express. This has an HP Color Laser Jet Printer pluged into it via USB. All 3 computers print and share seamlessly to it. Set up is a breeze. No issues what so ever with anything.
QUESTIONS:
(1) Should I eveen bother with the New Airport Extreme Base Station or just leave everything as it is?
(2) Is there ANY benefit to adding a Airport Extreme Base Station? I'm I missing out on anything?
Please be honest. Anything wrong with my current setup?
Thanks.I don't think there's anything wrong at all with what you've done. The bottom line is do YOU find any faults or disadvantages to your set up? As far as the new Extreme, things would just be alot faster (for those 802.11n enabled computers only, though)

New Airport Extreme not working with my Quad Macpro
Hi all-
My Linksys 902.11b router finally died and our household is now completely Mac-based (all with Airport Extreme cards), so I decided to take the plunge and get an Airport Extreme.
2 of the machines on my home's network are doing fine with the router and are getting good speeds - iMac Dual 2.4 (10.5.1) - Both the wired and wireless connections are solid with this machine / Macbook Dual 2.0 (10.5.1) - Both the wired and wireless connections are solid with this machine as well.
I have a Macpro Quad 2.66 machine running 10.4.11. I cannot upgrade to 10.5 yet on this machine since it's being used in my recording studio business and there are known issues with some of my apps and 10.5 at the moment.
The Quad can see the network and has seemingly strong signal from the Airport Extreme BS, but DHCP reception is inconsistent (the machine often eds up using a self-assigned IP for some reason) and IP connectivity in general is inconsistent, even when an appropriate static LAN IP is manually setup. I can often get to a few webpages while using a manually config'd IP, but only with very slow DL speeds and then the connection quickly disappears and drops out entirely.
The AExtreme is setup like this: DSL Modem-->Airport Extreme (config'd with a static IP from my ISP) -->DHCP broadcast dummy IP's to my network. Currently I've not setup any security since I'm in the process of troubleshooting and I don't want to further complicate the situation. Radio-mode on the AExtreme is set to 802.11n (b/g compatible)/Channel 1. I've tried numerous config setups on the AExtreme, but none have helped the situation.
I've also disabled IPv6 on all clients per some reading on the forums of possible issues.
Anyone know what the problem might be? Is it perhaps an issue because the Macpro's using 10.4.11?
FYI, I've also also got an extra Airport Express around that's not being used that could be used as a repeater/wired connection downstairs if broadcast strength is the issue, which seems somewhat unlikely to me. I'm not sure how to config the AExpress to work in this capacity though, so if anyone could point me to a tutorial I'd appreciate it very much.
Thanks in advance.
LeeI just did some more testing using an app mentioned here on the forums, iStumbler. The app offered these details:
- Signal Strength is between 45%-56%
- Noise is between 24%-41%
- Freq = 2412
- No websites load despite it's seeing the router and saying we've joined it.
I also did a screen capture of the iStumbler's screen in case that's helpful. There were several bits of info I wasn't sure about.
Here's the screen grab: http://www.pbase.com/infiniteposse/image/91793322/original

Will a WD hard drive work with AirPort Extreme to connect with an iPad Air
Will a WD hard drive work with Airport Extreme to connect by a iPad Air
If you already have an AE and a WD drive .. the best idea is plug it in and see on a mac in airport utility is the drive recognised.
If not you have problems.. if it is formatted correctly (Not NTFS mainly) then it can be a drive that is not compatible.
assuming it works get your ipad and pay for filebrowser or at least download a test copy and see how it goes.
Always the best way to find out.. try it. -
AirPort Extreme will not connect--have tried everything manual suggests.
With what device will the AirPort Extreme not connect?
What is the make and model number of this device?
If this might be a cable modem, you do know that the modem needs to completely reset before it will communicate with the AirPort Extreme, correct? -
