"No new AirPort networks found" help

I have an airport card in my iBook G4. It certainly works, as I am able to use it to connect to the internet (when I am within range of a public network). I do not have my own connection.
I bought an Airport Express for wireless printing. I plugged it into the wall; the light flashes orange. (This is in my apartment where I have no internet access, though AirPort is turned on.) Using AirPort Setup Assistant, I am trying to set up my network so my computer recognizes my printer. I click "Setup a new airport base station" but keep getting the above error message. The Airport Express is 10 feet from my computer. The software is AirPort 4.1.1.
What am I doing wrong?

Additionally........the dsl is provided by verizon.........the ethernet from the modem is connected into the base station.........no network is detected by my laptop...........

"No new airport network found" Uh oh!

So I snagged another airport express tonight at work since it was on refresh, and guess what. I can't get it to work!
I have been trying to connect it, and for whatever reason every time i try to do so, it says "there are no new airport networks found"
I just want to use the new express for WDS purposes, is there something i'm doing wrong???

NVM -
sorry to clog the boards. figured it out myself just needed some TLC lol.

Airport Setup Issue - No new airport networks were found

I just purchased an Airport Express today. I plugged it in, plugged an ethernet cable into it and it gives me a green light. I went to the Airport Setup Assistant and click on Setup a New Aiport Base Station. At this point it says "No new airport networks were found". What am I doing wrong? I know the internet connection is working and I've accessed other wireless networks before, so it must have to do with the Airport Express itself or my lack of ability to setup it up properly. Is there something I'm missing.
Thanks!

Have you tried resetting it with a paper clip? Push the reset button in until the light starts to blink, then release and wait for it to restart. Try restarting airport on your Mac.

Option to create a new airport network is not available.

My family has 4 new Intel core 2 duo imacs running OS X 10.4.8. Mine is connected via ethernet to a router, which is connected to the dsl modem. My system also acts as the airport connection for the three other systems which share my internet connection via the buitin airport wireless.
I want to create a new, more secure airport computer to computer network using high encryption, but the option to create a new network is not available. It's not in the airport menu from the title bar, it's not in network preferences, it's not in Internet Connect. I created a new location and it did not allow me to create a new airport network.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, depends a bit where you set it up, but I'd look in Internet Connect First, if you can't find it there then launch the Keychain Access app in Utilities.
Mounting a Network Share at startup is simple as pie...
Once it's mounted on the Desktop, open System Prefs>Accounts, click on the Login Items... drag the Network Share there!
Or, Sharepoints Automounter does it easily also...

But the solution I prefer is to just drag the Icon to the right side of the Dock between Applications and Trash, or a folder full of Shares, for a Popup Menu!

Setup Assistant says, "no new Airport Networks were found"

I just bought it and trying to set up. All plugged in, etc. but with light on front flashing on and off. Tried Airport Utility next, and the only network found was
"Roadrunner" I can't even get it set up!

When you click on Airpot Utility in the app list, it should say v5.0. It will step you through the set up, and you will name your own network. It was a little confusing for me as well!! Also, the modems can act weird. I have comcast and I had to unplug and turn my modem on and off a few times. And restart my computer. Eventually the internet worked, but i cant get anything to work in the USB plug...?? Good luck hope that helps a little.

"No new airport networks were found"

I have a new Airport base station...model #M8209LL/A.........connected the DSL line via ethernet into the WAN slot.........setup assistant tells me that it does not detect any new network. My airport card works well and detects numerous other wifi networks in my building. Any thoughts?

Additionally........the dsl is provided by verizon.........the ethernet from the modem is connected into the base station.........no network is detected by my laptop...........

New Airport Network - issues with some specific features

Hello,
I have just changed my wifi system for an Airport Network, with one AirPort Extreme and 2 AirPort Express. The goal was to extend the wifi network to the entire house. Everything is fine, all my computers are able to connect to the network and are able to access the internet. The AirPort Network is connected to the internet with the PPPoE procedure.
The issue is very specific here.
1. I use Outlook 2007 to handle my e-mails. Since I have shifted to the AirPort Network, Outlook is not able to connect to pop server anymore for 4 of my 5 accounts. Hotmail (pop) is functionning alright but Gmail is blocked !
2. Windows Update is also unable to connect to the appropriate server.
Maybe there is more but it's all I have noticed so far. I have not changed a single parameter by myself on my computers and both are affected the same way.
I first thought it was a firewall issue but disabling my software firewall (Bullguard) did not change anything. Vista Firewall is not active. Maybe is it the internal firewall of the AirPort Extreme ? But that would not explain why Outlook can send messages (smtp works fine).
Any idea or similar experience ? Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
AdG

Maybe my problem is just bad luck ! I might have shifted to my new network
the wrong day. One day earlier, I would not have seen any difficulty... if this is it.
Quakes slow cyber connections
By Zhu Shenshen | 2009-8-18 | NEWSPAPER EDITION
SHANGHAI'S international Internet connections slowed significantly yesterday after earthquakes rocked Taiwan and southern Japan. It was unclear last night how long repairs might take. Millions of Chinese Netizens were unable to connect to overseas Websites or use popular online chat tools yesterday afternoon.
About 15 million MSN instant message users in Shanghai and other parts of China were affected as the main servers are in the United States. Connections to most overseas Websites including those run by Yahoo and the New York Times were also clogged.
The chain of events that led to the service disruption had its origin in Typhoon Morakot, which struck Taiwan on August 7 and led to a later breakdown in an undersea telecommunications cable system.
Local Internet traffic was not influenced because transmissions were routed to a backup channel. But that cable failed yesterday near Busan, South Korea, apparently the victim of the earthquakes, according to China Unicom.
The failure affected Asian communications to the US and Europe.
The epicenter of the first quake, which struck at 8:05am yesterday, was about 188 kilometers southeast of Hualien on Taiwan's east coast at a depth of 11km, the island's weather bureau said. The US Geological Survey put the magnitude at 6.7.
The second quake, which was centered close to the first at a depth of 20km and struck at 6:10pm, measured 6.1, the Taiwan weather bureau said. It was also felt in Japan's Ishigaki Island.
"We've sent a team to repair the broken cable, but we can't give a detailed timetable for when it will be completed," said Song Guixiang, a public relations official for China Telecom.
The schedule will depend heavily on weather conditions, Song said.
Repairs are handled by a team comprising the carriers that use the cable.
In most cases it takes one to two months to fully repair damaged undersea cables. In the meantime, telecom operators will try to reroute traffic to operating cables and satellite systems.
Domestic Internet connections and international call services were normal yesterday, the carriers said.

How do I connect my existing wifi network to a new Airport network?

Right now I have two wifi networks. The one that connects to the Internet and one that's for AirPlay and has no Internet connection. How do I connect the two? The desired outcome would be to have one network that connected to the Internet and also could connect to my Airport. Please help! Thanks!

Is the wireless network for Internet access provided by another AirPort (Express, Extreme, or Time Capsule) router?

Can't set up "older" Airport express as booster for "new" Airport network?

I upgraded to a new airport express (the 802.11n) and want to use that as my primary airport in my house. I have an older airport express that keeps giving me error setting up as a WDS when I reinstall the factory settings to set it up as a booster. Is this an impossibility or am I just missing a step? Thanks.

I was having trouble having the network name show up in the which-network-to-join window. It would be blank and then give me that error message.
In a WDS configuration, you do not use the "join an existing wireless network" options.
The following are the basic steps:
(Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)
Main Base Station Setup - 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn)
o On the Mac click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar, and then, choose the wireless network created by the AXn.
o Open AirPort Utility; Select the AXn, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the AX.
o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
Remote Base Station Setup - 802.11g AirPort Express Base Station (AX)
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar, and then, choose the wireless network created by the AX.
o Open AirPort Utility; Select the AX, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

New airport user need help setting up a pc on the network

went and bought a airport extream today and my mac works fine on it but i also have a pc and need help getting it to work with the airport express. it seems to see the airport in the network slection screen but after i put in the pass i get nothing and it returns to the "chose a wireless network" can anyone help?

Thanks for the reply.
That's interesting, I guess I had assumed that would be a basic thing.
Right now the 4000 number is in port 1, and then 4244 is in port 2. So if no one else is on the phone, and my boss picks up his phone, dials 9 then XXX-XXXX, he will be routed outbound on the 4000 line on port 1. Then while he's talking, if I pick up the phone and dial 9 then XXX-XXXX, I will be routed out on the 4244 line on port 2.
Am I understanding that correctly?
If that is the case, then that is a bit frustrating. Our 4000 line has everything on it, call waiting, caller id, long distance, etc. But the 4244 line is just a basic service. So if I'm calling local or toll free, I don't want to tie the other line up in case someone else needs to make a long distance call to a client. Is there any work around to that at all? Is there any way to use steering digits to point the call to the right line? Would we have to put the PSTN lines on seperate SPA400's?
Again, any comments and suggestions are much appreciated!

AirPort Network Setup Help

I'm pretty good with hardward, but admittedly, I'm kind of a n00b when it comes to wireless networks. So I purchased an AirPort Extreme Base Station in 2010 and set it up to run my wireless network as well as a 5GHz version of the network as well. Unfortunately, my modem is on the opposite side of the house as most of my wireless devices, i.e. PlayStation 3, MacBook Pro, etc... I was noticing a weak signal, so I purcahsed an AirPort Express to extend the range of the existing network (not the 5GHz network, the regular one). This was perfect, everything was running great. Through my ISP I signed up for 10Mbps, I was getting high 9's in the room the modem was in, as well as accross the house on the extended network.
Fast forward two years later, Apple has released new Extreme and Express base stations, I'm not sure each update consisted of, and maybe the newer versions will work, so that's why I'm asking. I got the new AT&T LTE iPad and I'm getting 38Mbps on my LTE network, yes, you read that right, a whopping 38Mbps! Needless to say, I was preferring this over my home Wi-Fi Network, so I called up my ISP and requested 25Mbps, still slower, but at least I'm not eating up my data. The network is set-up exactly the same way, I didn't change it. Problem is, when I bring my iPad into the room with modem, I get 25Mbps, but when I'm back in my living area, on the extended network, I still only get 9 to 10Mbps Considering I'm rarely in the room with the modem, it's as of I'm paying extra money for no additional bandwidth, which makes me a sad panda... So, the question is, does my current Express not support 25Mbps or am I 'Doing it wrong.' If I need to pay the $99 for another Express, I'd be happy too, but considering I bought the Extreme and Express at the same time, and the Extreme handles the 25 fine, I'm thinking I have it set-up incorrectly. As I understand it, the only differences between Extreme and Express are that one is duel band, guest network is possible, more USB's and ethernet ports, etc...

The Extreme is in the other end of the house wirelessly extending.
I have it set up as a roaming network.
A roaming network is one in which the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme would be connected using a wired Ethernet connection.
Your setup cannot be a roaming network if.....The Extreme is in the other end of the house wirelessly extending.
Can your clarify on your setup?
Do you think this is the best set up, or would you suggest doing it differently?
A roaming network, with a wired Ethernet connection between wireless routers would be the best way to set up virtually any network, since there is no signal loss in a wire.....and a great deal of signal loss (and speed) in a wireless connection.
I have an old Airport express A1088, can anything be done with it?!?!
The old Express could be configured to create a wireless network if it were wired back to the Time Capsule.
It could also "join" the wireless network wirelessly for use with AirTunes....but it would not extend the wireless signal, since it does not have that capability.
In order to administer the older Express, you would need a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC.
Sorry, cannot help on the Smart TV - Media Centre question since I don't have that type of setup.

Airport Network setup help or suggestions :)

Hi - first post
I currently have a Billion wireless router - 7404VGOX
Airport 2 TB Time Capsule - 4th Generation
Airport Extreme - 5th Generation
1 x MacBook Air with Mavericks
1 x Windows Laptop
1 x iMac
1 x Airprint Epson Printer
1 x Airprint HP Printer (which I can not get to connect!!!! something about MAC Filtering)
iphone, ipads & smart TV's etc
The wireless router is in the office along with the Time Capsule (which does Time Machine back ups) which is bridged and connected by ethernet
The Extreme is in the other end of the house wirelessly extending.
I have it set up as a roaming network.
Do you think this is the best set up, or would you suggest doing it differently?
I have a Smart TV with hard drive connected and a Media Centre with an inbuilt 2TB SATA drive, which were connected to the Billion before getting the Airport things.. Is there a way that everyone in the house can access the files on the media centre?
I have an old Airport express A1088, can anything be done with it?!?!
THanks sooooo much!!!

Help: Hardware OK - No Network Found

SITUATION
-AirPort Express light green
-AirPort Express card recognized under System Profile
PROBLEM
-Open AirPort Setup Assistant
-Choose "Set up a new AirPort base station"
-Error message: "No new AirPort networks were found"
HAVE ALREADY TRIED
-Powering down modem and AirPort Express
-Creating new computer-to-computer network
ADDITIONAL INFO
A recent thunderstorm apparently damaged my ethernet port. No damage to the modem as my laptop gets an internet connection with the modem. My solution was to go wireless to by-pass the ethernet port. I don't think I have a wireless hardware problem as Mac OS recognizes the AirPort card and AirPort Express shows constant green
Thoughts anyone?

"Creating a new computer to computer network" won't accomplish anything useful. The Airport Express is supposed to be creating your wireless network - not your Mac. You might as well turn off this feature: Open Network preferences and choose AirPort from the Show pop-up menu. Click AirPort and make sure the "Allow this computer to create networks" checkbox is not selected.
One thing I would like you to check - click on your Mac's Airport menu item, look at the list of available wireless networks, and see if your Airport Express wireless network (by default called "Apple Network xxxxxx") is listed. If it is, click on its name to connect to it. If it isn't - are ANY wireless networks listed.
There are very few reasons a Mac won't see the wireless network of a brand new unconfigured Airport Express, specifically:
- Airport Express wireless transmitter is dead
- Mac's Airport card is dead or incorrectly installed
- very heavy radio interference from one or more neighboring wireless networks

"No airport networks were found" - setup problem

I'm trying to setup a new airport network with an AEBS. I plugged it in to the outlet and then plugged the cable modem ethernet cable into the AEBS. The light turns green. Then I open Airport Setup Utility and get the following message:
"No airport networks were found"
I then opened the Airport Admin Utility, and it is also unable to see the AEBS.
Any suggestions?

Okay, I updated the firmware to 6.3 and am now able to see the AEBS network. However, I can't connect to the Internet using the network I created in the Admin Utility.
The Network control pane says Aiport is active and connected to the Internet, but I can't get online. I have a Comcast cable high-speed Internet. I'm not exactly sure what my settings should be in Network?

Error joining the AirPort Network - revisited

I just got my iBook back from the shop and am trying to reestablish the link with my Airport Express. I've reset the unit, gone through numerous hoops.
The AirPort Express currently has a green light, and my router shows it's connected. Yet, when I try to connect, or try to reconfigure, I get the message "There was an error joining the AirPort network "Apple Network xxxxxx""
I have no idea what firmware is on the unit, nor do I have the means to update the firmware if needed (as I cannot get a connection to it).
Yes, I have a good internet connection. I'm posting this on an older iBook ... which is not AirPort ready.
Thanks in advance!
Note ... This topic came up in June (2006) ... and is archived, yet unanswered.

Ciao all.
I'll tack onto this thread rather than starting a new one. It sounds like similar-ish territory.
We've had Airport Express for about three weeks after our Airport Extreme gave up the ghost after 14 months. We have a DSL modem connected to Airport Express, and three computers - eMac, iBook G4 and Powerbook G4 - connected wirelessly. Or we did, until tonight.
On the eMac, I lost my wireless connection. The Airport symbol was still black, and full strength, but my time connected stats disappeared. At the same time, my wife had the same thing happen on her Powerbook. Then the Airport symbol grayed out. As did the Powerbook. I fired up the iBook and the same thing was happening.
Briefly, for a couple of seconds, the Airport symbol would return to black, with, on a couple of occasions, the time connected stats reappearing. We would be connected again. Then the symbol would gray out again.
And the network name would have disappeared from the Airport menu.
If I turned off Airport and turned it on again, the symbol would be greyed out, but the network name would be there. Only, when I tried to connect, I would get the dreaded An Error Occurred Joining The Selected Wireless Network.
And I couldn't access the Airport Express via either Set Up or Admin.
I rest the Airport Express back to factory settings. The Airport symbol remained greyed out, but the Apple default wireless network was visible in the Airport menu. But I would still get the dreaded An Error Occurred, etc message.
Through Airport Set up, I was able to detect the Airport Express' default name and even the network name, but still wasn't able to connect to it.
Trying again, I was told that no new Airport networks could be found.
I've had basically the same results trying all three computers.
In terms of lights, the Express will sit there with a solid green light through all these shenanigans.
The internet connection is solid. Plugging the modem straight into the computer puts me online.
Do we have - as I fear - a lemon of an Airport Express after three weeks?
Hopefully someone can ... help us ...
TIA
