New modem and router. Now my airport base stations don't work

New moden and router and now I've been unable to get the two airport base stations to work for transmitting the Wi-Fi to other areas of the house

Ok, if your goal is to use the two AirPort base stations to extend the wireless network provided by the Netgear router using a wireless connection between them, then this won't work as the two are incompatible for this feature.
However, if you can use wired connections then the three can be reconfigured for a roaming network which basically provides the same thing.

    Yes, if you plan to connect the AirPort Extreme back to the Motorola modem/router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection.
    No, if you were planning to have the AirPort Extreme extend the Motorola signal wirelesssly.

  • I have changed to AT&T U-verse, which has a new modem and router combined.  Safari 5.1.10 will not recognize the wifi signal, but Foxfire will.  What settings do I need to change on Safari?

    Hello SalsburgD
    The first thing I would check is to make sure that the router is using the recommended settings to get online. Another troubleshooting step is to create a new Network Location and then join your network to see if that changes things.

  • HT4145 Can I link up a Dlink wireless router to a Airport Base Station

    Hi All,
    need advise on whether can I link up a Dlink wireless router to a Airport Base Station and if can how do I set it up.
    with regards and thank you
    Chris

    If your goal is to either extend the D-Link's Wi-Fi network with the AirPort or the other way around, then the answer is no. That is because, most non-Apple routers are not WDS-compatible with the AirPorts.

  • I deleted Bonjour, since I don't need it for remote printing.  Now I get the message " Airport Base Station has stopped working: and also a message saying APAgent.exe can't be found.  What to do??? Thanks.

    I deleted Bonjour since I don't need it for remote printing.  Now on start-up I get the message: "Airport Base Station Agent has stopped working" and also message: "can't find APAgent.exe.:  Do I need AP Agent??  What to do??  Thanks. 

    The APAgent monitors your AirPort base station and informs you if there are things like firmware updates available. This utility relies on Bonjour, but is not required for base station operation. However, Bonjour makes it easier for your PC to "find" the base station via the AirPort Utility and I would recommend that you keep it installed. If you don't want the APAgent, you can just use the Apple Updater utility (that was also installed when the AirPort Utility was installed) to remove it.

  • I have a airport base station, will it work with netgear and linksys cards?

    So I am at a hous ethat is using a low end netgear router to wirlessly serve about 4 computers. I am the only Mac in the house and suggested they a Airport Base, will their linksys and netgear wireless cards work with the airport Base or should they just upgrade to a high end linksys router?

    Hi Chris:
    Yes, the AEBS is compatable with any 802.11 B/G cards including Netgear and Linksys cards.
    I've used many of the wireless routers that are available (Netgear and Linksys) and recently upgraded to an AEBS. I've found you really get what you pay for. I've had little problems with the AEBS and cross compatiability.
    I hope this helps!

  • Sky and Airport Base Station setup

    Hi,
    I seem to be having all kinds of issues with my Wireless network setup.  So much so that I'm going insane with it all.
    Now I don't pretend to be an expert in networking issues, I'm a consumer and I am a designer - I don't do technical stuff.  Hence why I am asking the question here.
    But I am a good listener, and I'm hoping to learn how to do this the right way.
    Ok.
    I have a router that came with my Sky Broadband, and I have an Airport Base Station which I connect to my Sky Router and broadcast a network from the Airport.
    Problem is I think I've messed up settings and it's just on an unbelievable go-slow.
    Rather than me try and detail all my settings, what are the ideal settings for something like this?
    I'm getting less than 1mb download speeds, when I should be getting closer to 7.
    I've got iStumbler installed and i've got like 40% signal with 12% noise.
    Now I've just noticed my Airport Base Station is showing a warning icon and that the device is not found.
    Help. 

    Timothy, you're right... the change to 10.4.8 has had us in "Airport ****" ever since the update. Whenever the PB can't find the Airport Extreme (more than 1/2 the time), we open "Network" in "System Preferences" and it's trying to use a 10.xxx address, instead of the 192.xxx or 168.xxx that it should be using.
    Our work-around has been to click the "Configure" Button in the "Network" window and then click the "Renew DHCP Lease" button. This results in a change to the address... to a 192.xxx address, as it should be.
    Your post got me to thinking, so I went into the "Airport Admin Utility", selected our Airport Extreme Base Station, and clicked on the "Configure" icon. When I went to the third tab (Network) I saw the "Share a single IP address" was set to use a 10.xxx address! What? So, I changed it to use a 192.xxx since there is no 168.xxx option. I have a feeling this may solve our problem...

  • Location of Infinity modem and router

    I would like to change my broadband to Infinity but need to know a few things before doing so. The main OpenReach socket (the one with a removable lower section) is above the front door fanlight. From this box I have two wires (extensions) coming out from behind (nothing is plugged into the front), one, about 3-4 metres in length goes straight through the ceiling into the above bedroom to the router (Voyager 2500V). The other one goes to the sitting room and is a longer cable. I have also done away with the ‘bell wire’ so only two wires exist in both connections.
    I would like to locate the new modem and router in the bedroom where it is at the moment. There is no way I can use a 13 amp socket in the hallway and have the equipment there. My questions are:
    1. Will the current location of my router be alright for Infinity?
    2. How many Ethernet ports does the Infinity router have?
    3. Does the router have VOIP like my Voyager?
    4. If Infinity misbehaves, is it just a matter of unplugging the modem and router and plugging in my old Voyager?
    No guesses please, I need to know exactly before going ahead with Infinity.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply. I don’t want to sign up and ask an engineer when he arrives, I want to know before signing up.
    Also, I’m not familiar with your terms, e.g. terminated phone cable, but I won’t ask you to explain them. To me there are three types of cable, a two-wire cable that runs from the master socket to a wall point, a telephone cable that plugs into a wall socket and an Ethernet cable that runs from the computer to the router. Are other types utilised by Infinity?
    Further explanation of my wiring:
    The wire from the rear of the master plug terminates as an extension in the bedroom where the micro filter and router plug in. It’s not used for a telephone, just the router. Can’t the new modem plug into this? Power points are not a problem in the bedroom.
    I installed the cable about two years ago after acquiring a new type main box (the previous on worked but I was told this was better), at the same time I used just two of the 4 or 6 wires in both my extensions. The previous 40 year-old extension ran all around the hall skirting board, up the side of the stairs, around the landing to a bedroom. It had been painted many times and was almost brittle, that’s why I decided to go through the ceiling, under the floor boards and up to make a socket on the skirting board. It’s only a few metres long and I can easily take the carpet up, remove a floorboard and change the extension wire to any other kind of wire, e.g. an Ethernet cable.

  • Airport Base Station Agent with Windows 7 and 8.1

    I am running an older HP desktop with Windows 7 and installed/set up Airport Base Station Agent successfully. I am in the process of transferring primary network control over to a newer HP Laptop with 8.1. The older computer will be retired eventually.
    Can both computers be running the Airport Base Station Agent and not disturb the Airport Base Station Agent setup?
    Or, to avoid potential Windows 7/8 conflicts, should I install the Airport Base Station Agent on the Windows 8.1 and delete/uninstall it on the Windows 7 computer (and would that require setting up again?). I am using an Airport Extreme with an Airport Express (802.11n) as an extension. Both Windows systems are fully up to date with Microsoft and HP support.

    I probably can go ahead and download/install Airport Utility on the new HP Envy Windows 8.1 (AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows) and not be worried about conflicts with the 2 computers and different Windows?
    There is no conflict.

    You might need some apple stuff in there eventually.

  • No configured Airport Base Stations Have Been found-but we are connected?

    Okay,
    Here is an odd one...actiontec DSL Modem/Router with Airport Extreme. I applied the update, and was having problems with my external hard drive being recognized, so I reset everything-modem and airport. Now that I have, when I launch the Airport Utility, I get a message that no configured airport base stations have been found. Weird thing is I am connected, transfering files, etc. I just cant access my airport to set up my printer and time machine capsule...any suggestions?

    My Mac was working perfectly fine till about a week ago.It would not connect to the internet or anything.I  swapped my computer out clean and still nothing so i gave up since I am new to the Mac. The next morning i turned it on and it worked perfectly fine. That night it started disconnecting me from the web every 5-10 mins but the funny thing was it kept saying i was connected to the internet. I have to keep turning off and back on my Wi-fi for it to work right & even doing that does not solve the problem. I went to my time machine to try to system restore my computer to an earlier date and it does not work.The airport utility comes up and says no configured airport base stations have been found.Airport utility will continue searching. I have no clue what Airport Utility even is when i got my computer furnished threw the college I was going threw at the time everything was already set up on it. The Wi-fi connected instantly. I have a MacBook Pro (OSX) with this software OS Lion. I don't have the money to get it professionally fixed so trying fix this issue on my own. Would a factory reset solve the problem?.

  • Airport base station lets Mac print but stopped letting my PCs print, why?

    The only thing I've done differently lately was download the new upgrade for OSX, which was yesterday. Up until now, my airport base station has been operating fine. I have it directly connected to my G4 and also use it for my Sony wireless laptop (new) and a Sony desktop (new). The desktop is located in another room and connects via Airport Express. The laptop is on my desk, next to my G4. The printer is by my G4 and laptop. And the Airport Extreme is on the wall above my monitor.
    Anyway, yesterday, about halfway through an 11-page document, the printer stopped printing to my laptop. It will print, btw, if I unplug it from the Airport Extreme, reconfigure the port from an IP/TCP and plug it into my laptop. What would cause it to stop printing via Airport Extreme? My DSL Internet connection still works on all four computers.
    My printer is an HP color laserjet 2550L. I called Hewlett Packard this morning and talked to customer support. I was informed that HP does not support network connections and could not help me because I was using a Mac product, the Airport Extreme. So I asked, what if I wasn't and directly connected the printer to my PC? So they explained how to configure the port for my printer, and it does print now, but it won't work on the Airport Extreme.
    I also restored my PC to the way it was last month, just in case I had downloaded something that interfered, but that did not help the situation.
    I also tried using emulation software that let me go to a Windows-based Web site through Citrex on my Mac, and I could access the Web site on my Mac, but I could not print. It prints otherwise from my Mac, though. This is just the weirdest thing.
    Do you think my Airport Extreme is defective? It's pretty new. Maybe 2 or 3 months old and has worked fine up until now.

    Have you upgraded the firmware in your airport extreme?
    Also, you may want to consider installing Bonjour for windows on your windows machine and set up the printer via the Bonjour printer configuration.

  • HT1178 No config Airport base station in airport utility

    Having problems configuring Airport Time Capsule. AirPort Utility displaying No configured AirPort base stations found.
    Worked initially but no longer backing up.

    Try just a simple restart of the TC or restart of the network.. in order .. modem.. wait 2min.. TC.. wait 2min . then the client computer.. see if the TC reappears. if not you will need to do a hard or factory reset and start over. It is common enough on Mavericks to lose its marbles.. a good reboot will usually remind of it of where everything is.
    Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local for whatever network client is being used.. that means setup in the computer.
    And I do recommend using short names on the TC.. not apple names..
    Keep names to <20characters.. <10 even better.
    No spaces.. and pure alphanumeric.

  • Oops. Messed up Snow Base Station system that worked..

    My Snow Base Station ran fine with the Pacbell ADSL modem for seven years.
    Had three laptops and tower at home wireless with no issue.
    Yesterday, after getting Road Runner cable modem installed, tried to use it with the cable modem - had disasters continually so tried to go back to the old ABC plus ADSL modem.
    1. My airport base station shows up in Airport bar.
    2. Shows up in Airport Administration utility.
    3. have the Pacbell domain numbers and all of that in the TCP/IP window.
    However,
    Still no internet and when I launched Airport Setup Assistant, the base station shows up as a network but it doesn't show up other than that and I still can't on the internet.
    Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.
    So furious I messed this up; should have stayed with the Pacbell modem.

    I too messed up my once working network. I have an eMac that was connected (hardwired) to my Snow Base and an iBook G4 that was connecting wirelessly. Both could access the internet just fine.
    Then I switched the Airport Base out for a D-Link wireless router (for some reason my wife's PDA couldn't connect to the Airport network, but can with the D-Link) That was, anyway, for about 1 day, which is when the D-link stopped working. I tried to go back to the Snow base, but now I can't get it to work.
    I can connect (using PPOE), if I hardwire my eMac right to the DSL modem (Verizon Westell Wirespeed), but not when it's going through the Snow base. Everything is hooked up correctly cable wise, my passwords and user names are correct. But when the ABS is hooked up to the modem, it can't connect. The ABS also shows up just fine as a wireless network on my iBook. I can access it via Airport Admin, but when I try to get online, it just says "looking for PPOE Host" but never connects.
    I'm pretty sure I've got it configured correctly, Airport is using PPOE and the Emac is set to DHCP. I basically just reverted to the settings I had when it was set up last.
    I'll try the power cycling, hopefully that works, if not...
    HEEEEELPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!

  • If i purchase a new airport base station can I use my old airport extreme 802.11n (3rd Gen) as both an extender of my wife for multiple iphones and as a router?

    I operate an old airport extreme base station 802.11n (3rd gen).
    There are 4 iphone5's and 1 iphone4 on my network along with 2 laptops running 10.6.8 and 10.7 respectively as well as two desktops with the same configurations as the laptops.
    I get a sense that the iphones may/will be useless the new airport.
    Can I use the old base station (operating as an extender/bridge/router) so that older equipment will operate in the short term until they are upgraded?
    Thank you.  

    I get a sense that the iphones may/will be useless the new airport
    They will work fine with a new AirPort base station. You can use an iPhone or iPad to set up and configure the new base station. If you want to use a Mac to set up and configure the new AirPort, it will need to have at least Lion 10.7.5 installed. Mountain Lion 10.8 or Mavericks 10.9 could be used as well.
    Can I use the old base station (operating as an extender/bridge/router) so that older equipment will operate in the short term until they are upgraded?
    You can use the older AirPort base station to extend the wireless network. No updates will be needed to your iPhones or Macs.

  • Cannot locate wireless Airport hubs in Airfoil after upgrading modem and router?

    Cannot locate wireless Airport hubs in Airfoil after upgrading modem and router?  Just replaced modem and router-Airport is working for internet connection, but I cannot locate the two additional sites in my home to feed music to.  Each is connected with a Apple wireless hub.  Thanks

    To work in this configuration, you just need to setup the AX as a bridge.
    To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, make these settings:
    Network tab
    - Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
    - Apply the new setting.
