PLEASE HELP!!! AIRPORT EXTREME IS GREEN BUT NOT CONNECTING TO INTERNERT!!!

Please, I'm begging of fellow man, women and children to help me figure this out!
What Happened:
I had my Internet and everything working before I went to work at 3 PM. My girlfriend got home around 4 PM and all of a sudden the my Internet was not working. I had to call my ISP, Comcast, and we had tested Internet connectivity which worked perfectly fine which is how I am typing this now. After that, I looked up some things that would remedy the situation. Power cycling the modem for minutes, seconds and hours. Also, I have tried to plug both the modem and router without plugging any Ethernet cord in to both of them, wait for them to power up, hook up the Ethernet cord and nothing. I have done factory resets on both the modem and routers and created a totally new network to see if that was the problem and noting. I have also changed the IP addresses, Subnet Masks, Router numbers, DNS servers and Domain names and nothing. I was stupid and did not get a protection plan on it, and my warranty JUST expired a couple of weeks ago, so I have barely had this router for a year. As all indications go, it is saying that it's connecting to the Internet, but when I go to my Macbook Pro and check the system preferences it's saying its connected to the airport, but when I do the assist me function and go to diagnose or assistant and test everything, the Internet and Server are yellow and everything else is green. I DON'T KNOW THE ISSUE!!!
Hardware:
Modem - Motorola Surfboard: Model SB6121
Router - Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-FI
Any and all advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated. I do not want to have to purchase a brand new router after just purchasing this one last year for over $150. I'll be eagerly awaiting your help. Thank you in advance.

@Mark Scott, are you referring to my cable modem or the apple router. I'm currently connecting to the internet just fine connecting the ethernet cable to my Macbook Pro laptop directly and having everything connecting just fine. Its when i try to connect wirelessly to the AirPort Extreme router is when I am unable to connect. If you were referring to the connecting the router directly to the computer and seeing if there is an internet connectin, I don't think that would help anything at all. Please let me know if this is what you meant and I will try it anyways.

Please help, Airport Extreme incredibly slow

Someone please help if you have any idea what to do.
I have a 5th Gen (dual 2.4 and 5 Ghz) Airport Extreme and have been using it successfully for the last 2 years.
It has been connected to a Mac mini, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, 2 iPhones, and an iPad.
I recently moved and was forced to switch my ISP from Cox to MediaCom.
I have a Scientific Atlanta 2100 cable modem and an Internet package that allows 30 Mbps.
However, I can only get 0.5 - 1.5 Mbps less than 50 feet away from my Airport Express (AEBS).
I have been searching the Internet and trying to solve this problem from 3 days and am ready to throw the AEBS out the window.
Here is what I have tried:
I had MediaCom visit my house twice. They tell me to get a DOCSIS 3.0 modem, but I'm already getting close to 30 Mbps when I connect my Macbook Pro directly to the modem via Ethernet cable so I don't think the modem is the issue.
I have also accomplished:
A soft, hard, and factory reset on the AEBS
A complete shutdown and power up of the modem, AEBS, and ALL of the wireless devices in my house.
Changed the 2.4 and 5 GHz channels manually to improve signal quality and decrease interference
Downloaded iStumbler and searched the house for the best reception locations
Tried to force separate 2.4 and 5 GHz networks to improve download speed
Used an Airport Express to extend the network (with no success)
I simply do not know what else to do other than buy a new modem or router.
Any help is MUCH appreciated.

If you are using the same Mac, looking at you OS it would appear that you have upgraded to 10.8.4. Did you upgrade your RAM at the same time. You need at least 4GB and even that would depend on how much you have going on in the background.
Or have you a newer machine. Incidentally, your profile is out of date.

Airport Extreme Skype works, but not mail or Safari? Port issue?

So I have a weird issue with my AE.
Often the internet will just go away...Safari will not work, iChat will not work and mail will not work. Today when it happened I noticed Skype was still logged in and working. I hadn't noticed this previously since I just this week installed Skype. When I am having an issue with my MacBookPro the MacBook in the house also has the same issue so it can't be my computer.
I also don't think its comcast because of the whole Skype working fine thing. Also when I "borrow" someone elses wifi connection everything works...mail works, Safari, etc...
So it must be something with my Airport Extreme. The only thing I can think of is some port issue. The AE has the lastest firmware from a month ago or so...
This tends to happen about once a week for a few hours and then it suddenly gets better for no apparent reason. The AE is in a cabinet in the entertainment center so it gets a bit warm in there sometimes but this morning it was pretty cool in the house and it still did it so I don't think its heat related...
Any other thoughts?

naw i'm back in the states now so it's pretty much no longer an issue. thanks though! If you know anything about mirror agent and logout issues you could look at my other question in using mac OSX Tiger called "mirror agent & failed logout -- HELP!"
thanks!!

Airport express is green - but not showing up in AirportUtility or AirTunes

Hello everyone
I have an Airport Extreme as my main base station upstairs. I have recently plugged in a Dlink615 using an ethernet cable to give me wireless signal in over my kitchen downstairs. This has worked well and we can all use our laptops etc. in the Kitchen now.
However - I have an Airport Express plugged in - in the kitchen, and have configured it to join the wireless network being pumped out by the Dlink - all seems to be well - the Airport Express appears to connect fine and go green - but following this, the Airport Express can not be found by the Airport Utility and does not show up in AirTunes.
Can any one offer any advice?
Thanks very much.

Hi Carolyn
Thanks for your reply. I'm running 10.6.4.
Unfortunately - no luck with that solution. The Kitchen Airport Express also does not show up in the air tunes on my Apple TV.
I have had no problems with getting airport expresses to show up in air tunes before adding this Dlink to my set up - I think it is something to do with the fact that the DLink is plugged into my Airport extreme. (I have tried DHCP off and on).
Thanks

Airport express is green but not showing up

My airport express used to work awesome, when my timecapsule was hosting the wireless.
My time capsule died, and now my airport express doesn't work.
I have done a thousand resets, and eveytime i set it up witout any trouble. Then after a couple of hours it stops working, despite the green light is still on. Now i have a ZyXEL P-2601HN-F1 as a router.

AirPort Extreme/HP C4108 printer not connecting

My Extreme is working fine for internet connectivity, but when trying to print, during the time when a connection is attempting to be established, it always ends in "Print Job Stopped." I've gone back into the AirPort Utility and MAC printer utilities to verify that the HP C4100 series printer is listed. I've also unplugged and plugged back in the USB cable on the back of the printer and on the Base Station. Lastly, I've turned off and back on the printer. Nothing is working to solve the problem. Any solution forthcoming? One will be much appreciated.
Thank you,

Airport Extreme Flashing Amber - but internet connection is OK

I have the current generation of Airport Extreme, which has been working just fine, until tonight. It started flashing amber. My internet connection is OK, and in fact my desktop is connected to the internet thru the Airport Extreme via ethernet cable, so that pathway works (which rules out faulty cable between Airport and modem). But the amber light keeps flashing, and none of my devices that connect via WiFi can connect to the internet (to be clear, they can see my base station, but they cannot connect to the internet. The only device that can connect is my desktop, which again is connected to the base station via ethernet cable). I've done multiple power-cycles, and a hard re-set of the base station, same result. In Airport Utility, the error is "Your Apple Wi-Fi base station does not have a valid IP address", but assuming that this is the correct error (which I am doubting, since I am connected to the internet), there is no way for me to address it.
I have two Airport Express's on this network - needless to say, they are also showing up as problems in Airport Utility since their base station is amber.
BTW - I am running OSX 10.6.8 - OK, I'm a dinosaur. But just in case that was the problem, I tried to address this with the current Airport Utility from my iOS 7 iPad, but still no luck.
Any advice?

Thanks, landrefl. Airport Utility IS telling me that there is an error, and the error is ""Your Apple Wi-Fi base station does not have a valid IP address". But that's my problem - I'm writing this now because I am connected to the internet, through the wired connection thru my Airport Extreme. So, although it is telling me what it thinks is the problem (""Your Apple Wi-Fi base station does not have a valid IP address"), that a) seems to be incorrect, and b) I don't know how I can change or correct it anyway.

Please help. Ipod on desktop but not in itunes!

Thanks for your help. I can see the ipod icon on desktop when I connect but it doesn't show up in itunes like it used to. This is only on my laptop(ibook). It works fine on my imac. Do I need to reinstall itunes? If i do will I lose all my saved music? Are there some preferences in itunes I need to adjust. Thanks for your help!

Does this document contain anything useful? Reinstalling iTunes won't erase your music library, either on your machine or your iPod.

How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Click Time Machine
Click Options
Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format.

My Airport Express is green, but my computer does not find it on a scan. I have used it before, but it just stopped working.

My Airport Express is green, but on a scan, my computer does not find it. I normally use it to play music from my Itunes to my house stereo speakers, and the icon shows up in itunes. it stopped working and now my computer does not recognize it. Help!!! I hate listening to music on small speakers.

Hello there Karen,
It sounds like you are having to power cycle your modem to get internet back every single day. We can start by troubleshooting your Airport Express to help isolate the issue. I would first perform a Soft Reset, then test the issue again. If needed as a last resort I would then perform a Hard Reset:
Soft reset
Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
Quit AirPort Utility.
Hard reset
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
Release the button and the device will reset.
Wait about a minute for the base station to finish restarting, then open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station from Other Wi-Fi Devices, then click Edit.
Select the Other Options button.
Select "Restore previous settings" and click Next until you get to the final window.
AirPort Utility will indicate that Setup is complete. Click Done.
Quit AirPort Utility.

Then the next step would be to restore your phone. My advice is that prior to restoring you import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or to a supported program on your computer using iTunes) as a number of users report losing these when restoring their device.

After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
Is there a way to resolve this issue?

Please help! I just sync my notes to icloud of my ipad mini but after that all notes has been covered by iphone's and all notes are missing from iPad,how could i restore it?

Please help! I just sync my notes to icloud of my ipad mini but after that all notes has been covered by iphone's and all notes are missing from iPad,how could i restore it?

It's very possible that you did just as you suspect. One of the later Note file over wrote the one stored on your iPad when you synced.
When one does a sync of their iPad a backup of the iPad is created first. If that backup was still available you might be able to find the Note file there. But more than likely, if you are letting the iPad and iPhones sync on their own over Wi-Fi you have over written that back up as well.

PLEASE HELP!!! AIRPORT EXTREME IS GREEN BUT NOT CONNECTING TO INTERNERT!!!
