Old AE no longer joining the network.

I have a mixed network consisting of a new AE dual band, an old AE, a recent AX and an older AX. Everything has been coexisting nicely until today. I had a brief power outage. The whole network came back except for the old AE, which was used as a print server.
I have reset it and tried to have it join the AE dual band as it had been in the past. No joy. I can connect to the AX via AirPort Utility, program it to join the AE dual band network but after it resets, it no longer is visible.
Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Is the light on it green after it resets, or does it flash amber?
If it flashes amber, it is possible that the configuration was corrupted with the power outage, or, if you re-set it up, didn't write to the AX properly.
Try resetting and re-configuring this AX again - better if you can do it via ethernet cable rather than wirelessly. Once you have green light again, you can remove the cable and switch back to wireless. Better also if you can do it near the base station - once you're up and running with a green light, you can reposition it to its final destination.

  • New iPod Unable to join the network after inputting password

    Got my iPod this am..
    looked too good to touch no pun intended.
    I went through the instructions, interrupted with an offer to update_, which I did.
    I then saw that the iPod was off line and went to set up the connection.
    I do have a Time Capsule but I just use it as an external drive, I use Ethernet connections between it my Netopia router/modem which provides my Wi Fi for another computer.
    I have a WPA-PSK security on the Netopia.
    My Wi Fi shows up on available networks, I am asked for my password but then I get a message "Unable to join the network"
    I must admit that my password is long (and a bit racy) my fingers a bit big, but I know that I have got it right on at least a few occasions.
    I have tried entering the details on "Other network" with the same result.
    Could my WPA-PSK be a problem?
    I would be most grateful for any suggestions.
    Various forms of this problem have appeared on this forum, but I think mine is a bit different.
    Thank you.

    Thank you.
    Went through that pretty well.
    Finally solved it in 2 steps.
    1. reset my modem/router to factory settings.
    Odd situation, wireless settings, but dependent on ethernet connection.
    2. read a post from Hong Kong re strange network settings.
    On his advice, into network, changed location from Automatic to one of my choosing.
    Bingo! everything came good.
    Totally wireless connection. iPod jumped to it. Isn't it great when everything comes together?
    I still wonder why it didn't take the signal from the WiFi part of my Modem/Router?
    Probably just as well as it sorted my Time Capsule connections out, probably for the first time since I bought one back in early 2008, and its recent replacement when it joined the epidemic of sudden death recently.
    Cheers

    Try power-cycling your wireless router (unplg for 30 seconds, plug back in).  Here's a longer list of troubleshooting steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.

  • I have a new iPad 2 which will not connect to my wi fi despite a new router being installed. When I tap my network name (which is with TalkTalk) the message comes up "unable to join the network TalkTalk etc...)

    I have a new Apple iPad2 which will not connect to my wi fi despite a new router.  When I tap the correct address it comes up with the message "Unable to join the network TalkTalketc... It does connect in other peoples' houses . Am I right in thinking that the trouble is with TalkTalk?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • There was an error joining the network usr5450

    Hello,
    my girlfriend today bought her first mac. An iMac 20" C2D.
    She was uncertain about it because she's a long time windows user but in the end she decided to switch to osx, oh happy day.
    At first boot there was immediately a problem. The iMac could see the wireless network (usr5450 access point) but when it tries connecting to it after 20 secs it gives this error message: "There was an error joining the network usr5450".
    So we decided to skip the network setup it during first boot and to do it later inside osx with more options.
    NO WAY.
    I'm clueless.
    The network is NOT protected by wep or wpa (her sister's new out of the box vista/vaio connected immediately...oh, the horror!) and I was able to connect with my macbook pro automatically.
    Every computer in her house connect wirelessly without problems execpt her new iMac.
    I run an hardware test. Passed without errors.
    We installed Osx update combo 10.4.9 and AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002. No change.
    The network is like that: modem-dlink switch-us robotics 5450 access point.
    Please, she's already regretting buying a mac, any help would be very appreciated.
    Thanks

    Welcome to Discussions, Riell!
    Check to see if there is a firmware update available for the router.
    The "there was an error" message you saw usually indicates something in the combination of the password and security method selected was not entered accurately or could not be accepted for some reason.
    First, turn on AirPort using its menu bar icon.
    Then open the Network panel of System Preferences. Click the "Assist me..." button at the bottom and click the blue "Assistant..." button in the drop-down box. This will open the Network Setup Assistant. Click the "Continue" button, then target "I use AirPort" and continue on to setup this new "location" within your iMac's Network perferences. Does this work for you? If not, what message do you get, or where do you run into a roadblock?

  • Unable to join the network on iPhone 5

    My phone was using IOS 6.0 when this first started happening. I was able to join a public network (i.e. church, hotel). It connected the first time without problems. Then another time later I was unable to. I got the "unable to join the network" message. The phone can see the network.
    I've tried several attempts. Tried the following:
    - forget network (does not give this option anymore)
    - turning wifi on and off
    - reset network settings
    - resetting the phone by holding the buttons for 10 seconds
    I am able to connect to my home wifi without any problems and my work wifi, and possibly others.
    My wifes phone is identical to mine and she is able to connect to the church's wifi.
    I even tried the update to IOS 6.1 - same result.
    Since these are public routers, I don't have the option to reset their hardware.
    Suggestions?

    Take it back and have it replaced as it is a hardware problem. I had the same problem with my iPhone 5 bought in July 2013 direct from the Apple Store and went thro hundreds of blogs to try & fix it but had no luck whatsoever. The only way I got it to work was to turn off the security on my router. This wasn't a viable option long term as well as the majority of other places that offer Wifi also use secure wif networks. There appears to be a problem with some batch of iphone 5's ( as per research online) not accepting the WPA 2 personal security settings due to a faulty chip or antenna using the 2.4GHz settings? Quality control must be a problem in their production line?
    Also if you switch to the 5Ghz settings on the router this seemed to work for me but then my daughters couldn't use their iPhone 4s wifi as they don't support the 5Ghz range. Book an appointment to see a Genius at the Apple store and get them to replace it if it is still new and in warranty. I expalined the problem that it would not work on a secure network even though it would work in the Apple Store as it they have unsecured wifi network in store. They agreed to replace it and my new iPhone 5 works fine at home on the same router / Wifi WPA 2 Personal setting that the original didn't!
    Save yourself the massive headache and just get it replaced as glad I did!

  • I need help I cant connect on wifi just "unable to join the network"

    I have problem to my WiFi connection
    I cant connect on WiFi home
    and i have MSG unable to join the network
    but my Iphone this is old iPhone 3
    I need help how can I fix it and i don't know if my phone or the router the problem.

  • AE green light but still Unable to join the network - G5 and iPad 1st Gen

    I gave my old 1st gen AE to my parents as they got an iPad and needed Wi-Fi. The AE is plugged directly into their ADSL box (Livebox - Orange in France if it makes any difference) and it worked from when they plugged it in a few weeks ago until now for some reason.
    It still lights up with a continuous green light and both their G5 iMac and iPad finds the network (Apple Network Bbf09-whatever) but won't allow them to sign on. There is no password (never has been) as they live out in the country side so no leaching. They can individually sign on (one at the time only) wirelessly from the Orange ADSL modem which is no good.
    Tried to unplug everything: ADSL Modem and AE left unplugged for a couple of minutes and reinserted. Still the light is solid green, shows up on the list of networks but won't connect. Keeps saying "Unable to join the Network"?
    Anyone having any ideas?

    UPDATE: It turned out to be the ISP. The signal quality that came in was not very good for some reason and caused problems with the WiFi through the AX.

  • I have just converted from PC to iMac. Yay. But pls be nice to me; I am back to newb! Running Lion. Have connected a Time Capsule as both a backup and WAP. I want to be able to join the network with my iPad, iPhone, iPod to print. How can I do this?

    Can I do this using the Time Capsule. I am not tech, so bear with me. Can I get the iPad to connect wirelessly to the TC, which connects wirelessly to the Canon MP495? Or, can I connect/network the iPad to the iMac to print?
    Either way, or if there is any other solution, I would appreciate if someone would walk me through it, or point me to a plain-speaking resource.
    Thankyou.
    Actually, one more: I would like to connect my HP laptop as well. I have heard this is not simple, but possible.

    You can create a wifi network with your TC, and you can join this network with your iPad. However, your printer does not support the AirPrint protocol, so you will not be able to print from your iPad, unless you load additional software.
    These are the steps:
    1.  (You may have completed this step already) Set up your TC to create a wireless network. You can do this from AirPort Utility on your Mac or from the AirPort Utility App on your iPad (free download from the App Store).
    2. From your iPad, go to settings / wifi and join the network.
    3. Download the Canon iPhone App from the App store on your iPad
    4. You can now print photos from your iPad to your Canon printer.
    If you want full functionality, (not just photos), there is software for your Mac that makes your printer available to your iPad through AirPrint (Printopia). The downside is, you have to purchase it, and you have to have your Mac running when you want to print from your iPad.
    Good luck!

    First, grow up.  Just because YOUR phone isn't working, doesn't mean Apple put out bad software.  I've not had any difficulty, nor has anyone else I know.  And just how is Apple risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working?  It's YOUR decision to talk on the phone or text and drive.  Not Apple's.
    We're users here, volunteering our time to help others.  Posts like yours, which are whiny and ranting, simply means we're likely to ignore you and not provide you with any help.  Not to mention, it makes you look absolutely foolish.

    Badunit you said "Continue setting up without the network. You can skip past it, right?"
    It sounds like he is setting up the iPod via wif. You can't continue. What yo can do is reset the iPod
    - Reset the iOS device.
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then start the setup over again but this time connect the iPod to a computer and set up via iTunes. Then he can troubleshoot the connection proboem.
