Problem with Airport Connection

Just bought new AirPort Express to use to extend range of my wireless network.
I set up system via Airport Utility. At end of set up I get message telling me that the settings for the AirPort Express have been successfully updated and I can close window or wait for the AirPort Express to restart.
All this time the airport express is flashing amber.
Then I get message: the settings for Airport successfully updated but problem in rejoining the wireless network or finding the device. You may need to select your network from the W-Fi menu and try again.
When I go onto the Wi-Fi settings I then have to reset to join existing network. But Airport remains unconnected. I have run through this a few times and exactly the same thing happens.
Any advice?

Ok thank you for clarifying that for me.
Try setting up the extended network again. This time, keep the Express (AX) in the same room as the Time Capsule (TC). Allow both base stations to restart.
Leave them together until you can verify that the extended network configuration is working. Once verified you can place the AX at the desired location. Note: Placement of the extending base station is critical for overall bandwidth performance of your extended network. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details.

  • Problems with airport connecting

    Hello can anyaone help me figure out this phenomenon that I have encountered with Airport connecting to a linksys wireless router. I have connected to it numerous times in the past with my Mac and have had no problems, but lately I am unable to connect. I get a connection error message from my airport utility. My iPhone ha the same issue, although IT had no problems connecting before. No changes were made to either device manually. Can someone shed some light on the issue, thanx. Is there maybe some other program to use with the Mac OS that is a bit more in depth, VS. the regular airport connect? Thanks and all the best everyone.

    What wireless router are you using? Does it use WEP or WPA for security? If it has multiple channels, have you tried using a different channel?
    In Tiger, you go to System Preferences Network pane and, next to Show, select +Network Port Configurations+. That will show a list of network services and the order. I have services I don't used for networking (such as FireWire, Bluetooth, and Internal Modem) unchecked. In Leopard, the unused services have been removed from the list.

  • MBP 5.1 I have a recent problem with airport connectivity. ethernet connection is working fine, but wifi has become extremely slow and bad functioning. signal is received, no problem with the wlan (my husband 's wifi with MBP is perfect) please help

    I have a MBP 5.1 with snow leopard 10.6.8. It has been working fine until few days ago, when it started to have different problems:
    1) airport is not working well. it is extremely slow, has difficulties in fully loading pages, looses connectivity, It is not browser related, behaves thesame in safari or firefox; it is not the router/wlan; my husband mbp wifi works fine (as it was mine...) and iphone wifi is also working fine. it sees the signal and different networks. , it is also very very slow in opening skype (after that, it is working ok) if  I connect via ethernet cable to the same router, everything works perfectly and with the correct speed.could it be a damaged airport card? a software problem/corruption? logic board? (I hope not, the computer is out of apple care now....)
    2) after a certain time (more than hours) of use, the trackpad is behaving strangly, increase sensitivity to touch, unwanted selection of folders, files and text or images in web pages when i move the cursor, the cursor jumping all over the places while writing, ecc I have the impression it starts doing that when I use heavily the CPU ( and the temperature goes up). Is this again a problem of the mother/logic board?
    I had recently serviced it since it was not booting properly, but except some permissions repaired, they did noit find anything wrong in the hard drive (which I have  now substituted with a SSD) or other hardware.
    thanks in advance for any help/suggestions
    alessandra

    I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
    the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
    thanks again

  • Ibook G4 having  problem with airport connection when using secure network

    Hi,
    I am currently using a brand new Macbook. I am connected wirelessly to a Comcast network through my Netgear Wireless-N 150 router model WNR 1000. The problem I am having is with the 4 year old ibook when I go to use the airport and connect to my existing network it says the password is incorrect. I spent time troubleshooting this with Netgear and basically we found out that the ibook does connect with the network when there is no security at all.
    I erased the hard drive on this ibook to prepare it for sale and it is back to the factory settings. Is there some kind of firmware or drivers I am missing to use the airport as described?? I want to be able to show the buyer that the internet works etc. I also may want to install a few things on the ibook before the sale.
    Thanks a mil

    Did you reset the wireless router to see if by default, it has a different
    wireless security then, than however it presently is set up?
    The question you pose appears to be marked "answered or solved."
    When you reinstall an OS X, the setup asks if you have an existing
    wireless connection, or if you will be getting a new one; by default,
    the setup will make the existing one the automatic one for OS X.
    You should not have to add passwords or other, unless there has
    been one set in KeyChain or for the specific wireless base in question.
    Tiger 10.4.x does not require you to have a set password for wi-fi,
    but you will find several levels of secure options available in OS X.
    Not sure why your setup and configuration is problematic. Usually,
    a totally new OS X installation is without issue. Sometimes, you
    may have to administer a base station via Ethernet cable before
    some configurations can use it, but an existing network should be
    easy, unless it already has a password security in place.
    The Mac will work without a password-protected wi-fi internet source;
    often it will 'just work' even when moved to a new environment and
    a neighbor's network, if not password protected, will appear among
    other options in your vicinity and it will be automatically available.
    Not sure if any newer OS X update parts, from the Combo update
    files to take Tiger 10.4 to 10.4.11, plus others, would help the Mac
    connect better to whatever wireless source of internet available.
    I've not had that issue, as you state, except for when someone has
    a protected network or passwords in place. Mine has passwords to
    keep unauthorized neighbors from easy access; just in case.
    In remote locations where few neighbors exist who could access wi-fi
    from a lone source, no wireless security settings at all, work just fine.
    I've done that; and found a little greater range was gained in signals.
    And in the city (largest town in state) a computer I'd set up for use in
    a password protected wi-fi network - later worked fine and found the
    new owner's own wi-fi network without issues; and I had let the OSX
    setup assistant do its job. If a local network is protected by WEP or
    WPA2, etc with a password, one would be needed to access it. If not,
    then the connection should be automatic.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • IMac troubles with AirPort connection

    A few days ago — after I ugraded my iMac G5 to 10.4.10 — my iMac stopped communicating properly with my network. It will connect to the wireless network and the Internet, but it will no longer print wirelessly or stream music to either Express base station. I have one base station connected to my cable modem and a stereo and another connected to the printer and another stereo. My MacBook, also upgraded to 10.4.10, has no problems with wireless connectivity, except that it can no longer find my shared iTunes library from my iMac.
    When I run the Airport Admin Utility program, the iMac cannot find either base station.
    I've tried restoring the base stations to factory setting, and today I ran an archive and install on the iMac. It still has the problems.
    I've heard a lot of people are having wireless problems with 10.4.10. Anybody figured this one out yet?
    Thanks for any ideas,
    Amy

    every since I updated my 17" macbook pro
    I have the same problem.
    my computer does not stay connected to my network (airport)
    it keeps disconnecting and its annoying
    some times it'll disconnect 2-3 time in one minute.
    and my internet is much slower now.
    I feel like restoring the older OS.
    I know this because I also have a powerbook 15" connected to the same network and it was never updated so it runs smooth
    does anyone know how to remedy this
    Thanks

  • Problem with Airport express N (2nd gen)

    Problem with Airport express N (2nd gen)
    Firmware 7.6.4
    ISP - 20 Mbps ethernet cable
    I have MacBook Air 13 mid 2013 os x 10.9.5, ipad 4 ios 8.0.2, ipad4 ios 7.1.2 , iphone 5 ios 7.1.1
    When i try to use speedtest.net from my Macbook i got good results of download speed and incredible upload http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3801286946 (connection 300 Mbps) , both ipads got terrible speedtest download result and incredible uploadhttp://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/981631804 (connection 150 Mbps), iphone 5 got bad download and great uploadhttp://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/981695357.
    All these tests were done near airport express with really good signal and 5ghz. I tried to choose different channels, 802.11 mode, guest ssid, 5ghz ssid ...
    I think that something is wrong with my new airport express. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
    ps sorry for my bad english

    As a last resort, try a factory default reset on the AirPort Express as follows:
    Power off the AirPort Express
    Wait a minute
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
    On an iPhone or iPad home screen....
    Tap Settings
    Tap WiFi
    Look for a heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station. If it appears.....
    Tap on AirPort Express just below the heading to start the configuration process on the Express again
    If you try several factory default resets, and the AirPort Express does not appear under the heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station, the Express most likely is defective and will need to be replaced.

  • Problem with JCo Connection Pool

    Hi,
    I have a problem with using an RFC Model in my WebApplication. So sometimes the access to the function block works, and sometimes it doesn't work. Now I know, that there is a problem with the connection pool. Look at this message:
    com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (106) JCO_ERROR_RESOURCE: Connection pool WD_X24_MODELDATA_DEST_CPIC_REKTO_DE_useDefinedUser is exhausted. The current pool size limit (max connections) is 10 connections.
    So it looks like a problem with closing the JCo Connections after using. Do know where the problem is? Because I'm using many other function blocks with no problems.

    Hello,
    You need to increase the pool size via Visual Administrator.
    Server 0 -> Services -> JCO RFC Connections.
    Change the pool size from there. I believe a restart is in order.
    Regards,

  • Every time I try and update my iphone 4 to ios 7.1 in iTunes 11.1.5 it says "connection reset" even when there is no problem with my connection

    I have an iPhone 4. I use iTunes 11.1.5 on my Mac. I am trying to update to ios 7.1 through iTunes, but every time I do that, I get a "connection reset" error, even when I know there has been no problem with my connection.
    The exact error message is as follows:
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Anne's iPhone". The network connection was reset.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
    I have checked several times. There is no problem with the connection, and I have tried to download the software several times today.
    Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

    Just managed to successfully download the update, having retried five or six times. I did unplug my phone while the download was taking place (had asked iTunes to download only, not to update) -- suspect this had no bearing on it whatsoever, and that persistence is the only way here.

  • Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)

    Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
    I re set up my Airport network , having had 4 expresses for years doing a good job. I bought another and an express, but then a time capsule after my external drive died. .Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
    I moved house and have fibre network so 38mb/s - they all look ok on the utility, but its not till I saw the App version that they are not compatible as mac will not upgrade the version 6 ones, leaving me with 2 disjointed networks and 7 appliances, 4 of the old , 3 of the new.
    my new house is expansive so i wanted the extended range and airplay in each room.
    This is not told to customers, and utility doesnt show any issues.
    I do not seem to get any range from either network now, - and I'm quite experienced with airport (6 yrs of setting up & using & extending)
    Any advice ?

    I have a problem with Document Connect. I am unable access office live workspace.

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
