Problem with Belkin 7231-4 with Powerbook G4/Airport Extreme

When I try to load the Belkin Router software I get a request from
AuthSample that requires a password and the one I list gives
me a response of "New set was not created".
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Airport Extreme

I have the very same router and there is no need for any software to be loaded.
Could you elaborate?

  • Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

    Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

    This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
    In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

  • I am trying to get an answer to whether or not I can successfully use Time Machine with an external HDD connected to an airport extreme?  Some forums say yes, some say no.

    I am trying to get an answer to whether or not I can successfuly use Time Machine with an external HDD connected to an airport extreme.  Some forums say yes, some say no.  I'm also curious about formatting the hard drive to work both on my wife's MacBook Pro and my PC.  Any help would definitely be appreciated.

    You may be going on a recollection, that I share, that at one time Apple stated this would be possible:
    In fact, Apple’s Time Machine Web page touted this very capability as recently as last Tuesday, as you can see from Google’s October 16 cache of the page
    Effortless meets wireless. With a hard disk connected to your AirPort Extreme Base Station, all the Macs in your house can use Time Machine to back up wirelessly. Simply select your AirPort Disk as the backup disk for each computer and the whole family can enjoy the benefits of Time Machine.
    But if you look at the current Time Machine page on Apple’s Web site, that text is nowhere to be found.
    That was a long time ago, it has never been officially implemented, and at present they specifically say it cannot be done.
    In summary, it may work, but probably won't, and even if it does it may not be reliable.

  • Does anyone else still have a problem using iVPN with OS X 10.8.3 and Airport Extreme?

    I am looking for help setting up iVPN. I am using my iMac, an airport extreme, and had recently purchased iVPN. I believe I input everything correct and port forward my Airport Extreme to 1732, but when the counter starts I cant access anything including email and internet. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    I just verified that I have no issue with photobucket. I use exactly the same setup as yours except my Java security is enabled at the default level.
    Do you have the current version of the Java software installed: Java SE Runtime Environment 7 1.7.0_21. Just because you have the preference panel doesn't mean you have the runtime installed.

    Hi, Nubz!
    Yes, I just saw that, and am still chuckling.
    Maybe that will mollify the Jive gods?

  • I'm having trouble with an External HD attached to my Airport Extreme

    I connected an external HD to my AirPort extreme using USB.  I assigned the disk to my Time Machine backup, but when I try to back up I get a message that the disk is unavailable.  The HD is mounted on my desktop and is formatted as MAC OS Extended (Journaled).

    New formatted hard drive plugged into Extreme - yes, formatted Mac Journal. The new drive is seen on network, but it cannot be applied as a Time Machine function on my iMac.
    I edit the Extreme on Airport utilities - add disks. The hard drive is shown. I enable file sharing, secure shared disks with device password - and update. Nothing happens from that point onwards.
    Reading a number of other questions from people with similar problems on other sites, it seems that although this feature is advertised and promoted by Apple in the instruction booklet (page 13), Apple have backed away from this facility post production. Maybe it is not reliable enough in its present form?
    I am very disappointed about this as I had intended to use the Extreme to back up several devices in my home and office.
    Any other ideas would be welcome.
    Thanks

  • Help with connecting Dell laptop Wifi using new airport extreme

    I recently purchased airport extreme. I am having problems setting up my wifi on my Dell laptop. It was working fine with my previous router.
    My ITouch and IPad connect fine with WiFi. what do I need to do with the laptop? I've tried everything I can figure out, but no luck.

    you should ask in the airport forum rather then the imac forum where nobody are sure to own airports

  • Trouble with Cisco AnyConnect VPN after getting new Airport Extreme

    So I had a previous version Time Capsule that I used for years, and it started having issues where it would start spontaneously rebooting. I decided to get a new Airport Extreme (the new taller one) and went in without a hitch. Problem it, though, I work from home sometimes with my company provided Windows 7 laptop and I'm experiencing issues around the VPN hanging for 15-20 seconds then coming back, maybe 1x or 2x per hour. Especially noticeable when I'm on higher bandwidth applications like Lync meetings or Remote Desktop sessions. Never had the issue on the old Time Capsule, it was always solid (until the device itself started dying), and I don't have the issue when I'm in my office using the same VPN software. Never an issue with any of the computers in the house on the regular internet, non-VPN connection. Is there a setting I missed somewhere in my setup of the new Airport that can help to stabilize that VPN connection? Seems in newer versions, some of the options have been taken away or harder to find.
    Running version 7.7.3 on the Airport Extreme.

  • Printing with HP all-in-one connected to Airport Extreme with USB

    We have an HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one, an AirPort Extreme base station, and a G-5 MacIntosh running OS 10.4.8. We can print when the all-in-one unit is connected directly to the Mac with USB cable, however, we are unable to print when the USB cable is connected to the base station. What can you suggest?

    Which driver are you using?
    According to HP must use drivers 6.3.4 or 7.0

  • I can't use Time Machine with a USB drive plugged into an Airport Extreme.

    I connected an external drive to the USB port of an Airport Extreme, intending to use it with Time Machine and one of the laptops in the Wi-Fi network (call it Laptop). The drive is visible from the Disks tab of each computer’s Airport Utility but from nowhere else, in particular not to Laptop’s Time Machine preference.
    Laptop is relatively new and arrived with Mavericks. Time Machine used to work on Laptop before I upgraded the rest of the network (a desktop Mac Pro and another laptop) from OS X 10.6 to Mavericks.
    The drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have tried other external hard drives, with the same behavior. The desktop correctly use Time Machine to back up its internal drive to another internal drive. Another possibly relevant factor is that our DSL connection has recently been upgraded, and now uses a 2Wire modem that provides its own router, so Airport Utility’s Network Router Mode is set to “Off (Bridge Mode)”.
    I would be grateful for suggestions of what to try next.

  • PowerBook G4 Airport Extreme b/g need upgrade to N. Is it possible

    I have a problem trying to upgrade the Airport Extreme on this PowerBook G4. Its running 10.5.8 and has a PowerPC processor. The Airport came with the machine.
    Its currently suggesting its capable of working on B and G networks. I found this info in the Network Utils. After I upgraded the router to the Linksys WRT320N and set it to 5Ghz it does want to play ball.
    Also got an iMac G4 10.4 (retro dome) that can't connect either.
    Apparently this N 5Ghz is the future. According to the rest of us, so is wireless. I currently have a £140 wireless router with a bunch of wires crawling across the floor from it. PlayStation 3 can't cope with it either!
    The Intel MacBook works fine although Safari had some issues with updating the routers firmware via the web browser interface.
    I believe that apple had issued some updates for the Airport a short time ago and figured that this would go across the board with all their Airport Extreme cards. Does anyone have any insight, if or when this might happen before I go off and buy hundreds of wireless USB adapters to find the one that works with these Macs?
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated...

    Your older equipment cannot operate wirelessly in the 5 GHz band. A firmware update cannot supply the needed hardware upgrade.
    You would seem to have two options:
    1) Reconfigure your Wi-Fi equipment to support 802.11g (2.4 GHz).
    2) Buy a USB 802.11n adapter for each of your old devices. It shouldn't be hard to determine which ones will work with your Macs. Whatever you buy, be sure that it works with the USB ports (USB 1.1 vs. USB 2.0).

  • PowerBook G4s' AirPort Extreme Cards-b or g?

    How can I tell if the built-in AirPort Extreme cards on my PowerBook G4s (a 2 1/2 year-old 15" and two 12" PBs under two years old) have 802.11g or not? System Monitor does not indicate which; it only shows the Wireless Card Firmware Version: 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18).

    Tesserax,
    Thanks for the clarification and the specifications resource page.
    (I have a house full of PBs--all post-2005. My next venture is going to be a wireless home network, and I wanted to make sure whether I had mixed Airport standards to deal with or, as it turns out, not.)

  • Problems transfering files from PC to Harddrive on Airport Extreme.. Help!

    I upgraded to an Airport Extreme to help speed up my wireless and access a LACIE 1tb harddrive between two computers - a Windows XP 64bit machine and a new macbook.
    Everything works great except I cannot copy large files from the PC to the harddrive even though I can stream movies off the harddrive to the same computer and transfer small files. When I try to copy a large file I get "The specified network name is no longer available" after about 30sec even though its actually connected (I can browse and watch a movie after I get the error). The large files do show up on the HDD after getting the error but they are not working files. So frustrating.
    I have read that it could be the 7.4.2 firmware but have tried going back to 7.4.1 with the same results. I have also tried backing up the Airport and restoring to default settings. Also tried installing the airport software on the PC with no luck. I am considering trying to format the drive from FAT32 to the default apple one but really don't want to do this.
    Anyone have any suggestions? This is got to be the most frustrating problem I have encountered since starting my mac transition...

    So I plugged in another 250gb hdd that I have lying around, formatted with my macbook and successfully backed up over 130gb worth of files via time machine. Also, tried transferring some "large files" to the same drive via the PC with blazing speed and everything works great.
    So it turns out that a harddrive with FAT32 doesnt work properly with a PC.
    I will be formatting my other 1tb drive now and I suspect will have similar results but this issue is odd and frustrating to say the least.

  • Problems Streaming 720p over external USB plugged into Airport Extreme

    Is anybody able to stream 720p .mp4 files to Apple TV via Air Disk using a pure 802.11.n network?
    I just switched to an airport extreme... I am able to stream SD files over the network with a USB drive plugged into the airport, but the HD files just seem to hang and never start playing.
    As a test I connected the USB HD directly to my macbook pro and the HD files stream perfectly.
    Is this some sort of bottleneck I'm running into or is there some sort of setting I am missing out on to make this work properly? It's frustrating as this was the main reason I shelled out the money for the extreme to begin with. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Sorry that I ask, I want to have the same set up. Why did you have to disable Bonjour Connect? What does that do? Do you experience any sluggishness or delays when streaming from AirDisk, via iTunes, to ATV?

  • HAVING ISSUES WITH SETTING UP AN EXTERNAL HD TO AIRPORT EXTREME

    I have a 5th generation Airport Extreme that is 2 months old and for the life of me I can not get it to see the new Lacie 2 TB external I just purchased today.  I have followed all the directions from the Apple support site and NOTHING! I just want to be able to back up my MBP 15" wirelessly...if any one can help that would be AWESOME!!!

    Checklist.....
    The hard drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Verify that the USB cable is working correctly
    Use a powered USB hub due to low voltage on the AirPort Extreme USB port
    Locating via Finder.....
    Open Macintosh HD or Finder
    Click the AirPort Extreme icon under the SHARED heading
    A folder representing the drive will appear in the window to the right
    Double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop
    Caution......
    Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme are not supported by Apple.
    You should be OK for regular file storage, etc.
