Power USB Hub - powers the Airport Base Station (802.11n)?

I have a powered USB hub hooked up to my new AE. If I pull the power plug for the AE, the unit remains partially powered via the USB port (my hub). It won't power down until I also remove the USB plug into the AE.
Anybody else seen this? Is this normal? Is this an AE problem? Is this a problem with my USB hub?

By partially powered I mean, when I unplug the AE, the light on the front remains on but flashing. Why would I unplug it? Because I want to reboot it because my cable modem dropped the connection and I could not get the connection back. I attempted to power down the cable modem and router but I left the printer, HD's, and the USB hub powered up.

  • Time Capsule and AirPort Base Station (802.11n) Firmware 7.3.2 and the Apple support website link isn't working.  Does anyone have it?

    Hi,
    I have a Win7 Premium and a Time Capsule bought around 2009.  I'm using airport utility 5.5.3 and the TC has the 7.6.1 firmware.  I can both wirelessly and using the ethernet cabl connect to the network but not to the hard drive (I get the netbios error lthough netbios is enabled).  I have pretty much tried ALL the solutions that have worked for many people... too many to mention... the only thing that many people have claimed worked for the (albeit the posts are a bit old) is to revert to the 7.3.2 firmware which I cannot find.
    http://www.apple.com/support/?artnum=305301 brings me to the default support page for apple products, so no joy there.  this is causing my hair to go prematurely gray.
    I am willing to try almost any solution you guys may suggest, but in addition: does anyone know where the 7.3.2 firmware can be found?
    I don't need a book corner as I read most books in e-format...
    thanks in advance.

    Model# A1302
    When I do the "firmware update" I have no options except:
    other
    as a former IT, I have exhausted all options I think except for rolling back the firmware.
    The apple site isn't down but the page: http://www.apple.com/support/?artnum=305301
    which has the link for the 7.3.2 firmware takes me to the default support page.
    On another note (for anyone who has run into this problem and recognizes the symptom), when I submit the password on the apple popup that says "network disc detected, enter password" the pop up pauses for a good minute (not responding) before the #53 error with the netbios comes on.  I have also turned off the McAfee firewall and tested it... no joy.
    Thanks for your help in advance

  • HT3728 I cannot find the Airport base station

    I have lost the connection to the Airport Base station and do not know how to get it back. I have internet through another modem, but need to reset everything back to using the Airport Base station 1TB to connect to the internet and to see my backup files and all my media. I am using a MacBook Air 13" 2012 model. Please can someone assist.

    Do a reset on the base station. It will return to default settings and you will then be able to pick it up..
    If you had it setup to join a wireless network then it will disappear. Don't use it that way.. Run it bridge or in router mode.
    I have to suggest if you have nothing but the air.. do go and get the USB to ethernet dongle.. it is not that expensive.. IMHO access a wireless device by wireless to fix wireless settings, is like the cartoons where the person is sitting on the tree branch sawing it off. When you change the wireless settings you then lose connection.. it is much better using ethernet.

  • My computer no longer recognises the Airport base station network

    I presently have wireless broadband internet access on my iBook (using a Belkin wireless ethernet router connected by an ethernet cable to my airport.)
    I also have an Airport Express in another room connected to my stereo for playing all my iTunes songs wirelessly.
    The problem arose in that if i wanted to listen to my music I had to switch between networks, meaning i couldn't surf the net and listen to music at the same time.
    A few nights ago I tried to 'merge' the networks using Airport set-up assistant (or admin utility, I forget which).
    Now, my computer no longer recognises the Airport base station network, just the Express one.
    Is there a way of listening to my music and using the internet at the same time, and how do I get my internet working again in the first place!
    Many thanks
    Jono

    Rebooted Airport Express and now working

  • Having problems with one computer not "seeing" the Airport base station.

    Aloha:
    I have an Airport router hooked up to the internet via Cable. I have a laptop and G4 desktop talking to the the Airport Base Station via their respective Airport cards. This allows me to get to the internet with both of my computers. This system has worked just fine for several years, but recently my desktop computer has started to be unable to connect to my Airport Base Station. At first it was intermittent, but now it has stopped completely. The laptop continues to be able to get to the internet via my Airport base station.
    The desktop is running OS 10.3.9 and the airport card in the desktop passes the hardware test that came with the laptop. But it can no longer see the signal from the ABS.
    What might my problem be?
    Dan

    Hi Clinton:
    I have tried that to no avail. I don't see any
    signal, so I see no networks "in the box below" to
    choose. My airport card does not see a signal, but
    the airport card checks out ok in the hardware test.
    Thanks for replying, Clinton, much appreciated.
    Dan
    Have you tried choosing "other..." and then entering the name of your network?

  • Is a very hot AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n normal?

    Is a very hot AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n normal?
    W.W.

    Warm, yes
    If it's uncomfortable to the touch, no.
    Makes sure the device has plenty of air all around and that it does not have anything on top of it.
    It's still hot, then you should contact Apple for a replacment.

  • What is the AirPort Base Station Agent?

    I just noticed in my Login Items on one of two computers (MacPro, no Airport card) there is an Application called AirPort Base Station Agent. It is checked to be invisible on opening. On my laptop (with Airport) that Application is not listed in Login Items. I never put it there myself as I don't know what it's for. It is located in System Folder/Core Services of both computers but only listed as a startup item in one of them.
    Can anyone explain? Should it be added to the laptop login?

  • Whats the airport card model of the airport base stations

    I have an A1026 airport card from an old ibook G4 that I'm not using. I've seen at ebay some airport base stations without "airport card" is it possible to install my A1026 on an airport base station or they have different cards ?

    The A1026 Airport Extreme card was used in the "saucer shaped" Airport Extreme Base Station models.
    My advice - don't throw away money buying one of these base stations off EBay. The Airport card inside them was probably cannibalized for a reason - because the card may have been the only thing inside the base station that still worked properly.

  • How to configure correctly the Airport Base Station to work with windows PC?

    Hi Friends...
    I am having MacBook Air and Windows PCs with XP & Windows7.
    In MacBook I can use the internet through Airport Extreme Base Station.
    But In windows PCs I am unable to use. It is not getting the IP. And I am unable to configure DHCP also.
    Please help me out in this or let me know where i can get step by step instructions.
    Regards,
    Prakash

    If you temporarily disable wireless security on the AirPort, can both PCs now get their proper IP address information from the DHCP server in the base station?

  • Do I need an internet connection to use the airport base station express?, Do I need an internet connection to use the airport base station express?, Do I need an internet connection to use the airport base station express?

    we have no wireless internet in my house and the only internet connection is a laptop aircard that does not give off signal. will the base station express work without an internet connection being fed to it?

    On the windows computer that is connected to the internet you will need to enable Internet Connection Sharing, see link below.  On the Airport you will need to turn Connection Sharing OFF as the Airport will not be handling NAT (network address translation) or be a DHCP Server as this will be handled by the computer with ICS.

  • Printing to Ethernet Printers Using Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11n

    I don't want anything extraordinary. I think what I have to set up is pretty simple.
    I have a PowerMac G5 tower and an Airport Network with an older 802.11g AExBS connected to my cable modem. I just acquired an AExBS 802.11n. While I'm sure that people would tell me to ditch the older one an just use the newer one, that is not today's task.
    All I would like to do is to use the AExBS for my 3 Ethernet printers. The printers are:
    Brother HL-2070N
    Brother MFC-420CN
    HP Color Laserjet CP2025dn
    Each printer is plugged into each of the 3 ethernet ports and not the WAN port. I didn't have any problems using my Netgear WGT624 wireless router, so I don't know why the AExBS is giving me such a headache. Is there something simply I'm missing in the instructions? Can anybody tell me if I'm missing something here?

    Now I have managed to delete all but my directly connected USB printers in the Print & Fax area of my System Preferences. What gives?
    I thought this was going to be straight forward. They don't even address hooking up ethernet printers in the manual. I've looked over the web and see other people having the same problem, but their original setup appears to be different and/or more difficult.

  • Why hasn the airport base station still NOT got a adsl/cable modem yet?

    I want a all in one apple product
    It seems so obvious to me that this product is screaming out to have a modem built in. If it did i'd buy it with out a second thought.
    It's exactly the same with apple tv and the mac mini, they should be combined.
    Better still combine Apple tv, A mac mini, A modem (Cable or ADSL), Airport and some kind of digital tuner built in. A all in one Media sever/routing box.

  • Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11n, dual band) antenna

    I'm looking to hook up a directional antenna to 2 AEBS's for a point to point bridge application. So, on opening the device, there are 4 antenna connections-- As I understand it this is to support the MIMO capability, correct?
    But is 1 for legacy 802.11g / 2.4GHz support? if so, which 3 should I connect to external antenna? if not, is there an advantage to using all 4?

    never mind-- found my answer (here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-features/30974-more-surprises-f rom-the-new-airport-extreme) if anyone else is interested

  • How do I share my DS4600 USB on Airport Base Station?

    It's true I'm not the most Mac savvy, but everything I've read seems to indicates this is plug & play, but so far not for me. 
    I have a SmartStor DS4600 (by Promise Technologies).  It's set for RAID 0, just recently formatted with "Journaled HFS+".
    So, it's definitely an Apple partition. 
    I plug it into the USB port on the back of the Airport Base Station (2nd Generation)(running version 7.6.3).
    According to documentation, I should just see the volume for the DAS show up in my Finder, but I don't.  Only if I plug it in to a USB port on the actual computer.  (MacBook Pro, OS 10.8.3)
    I do see my Airport in Finder, and I do have a volume called "Data" that I can access... but no other disks.  I also thought maybe the extra HD space would be added to the existing Airport Disk.  It isn't. 
    Sort of at a loss, and I can't find any documentation that explains how to troubleshoot. 
    The ultimate goal is to use the DS4600 to hold my iTunes library.  I doubt that information helps, but it couldn't hurt. 

    That information helps. If you want to use one of the SmartStor's disks as a repository for sharing your iTunes Library, then do not configure that disk as a RAID. Format it with Disk Utility using the Erase tab. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is the correct choice.
    Connect it to your Time Capsule, then use AirPort Utility to configure access requirements for sharing it on your network. It should appear as a shared volume in the Finder, available to all your Macs as you thought it should.
    I also thought maybe the extra HD space would be added to the existing Airport Disk.  It isn't.
    Correct. There is no way to do that. The only way to increase the capacity of a Time Capsule's hard disk is to replace the Time Capsule (or its disk, if you are amenable to disassembling it) with a larger capacity model.
    If you also want to use the SmartStor as a RAID, that is another story, and you should probably attack that problem separately.
