Problems with Timed Access on Airport Extreme n & Express

Hi
I have recently upgraded to an Apple network at home, with good results. The extreme n is my main router, connected to a Netgear modem, with an express n used to extend the network across the house.
This all works fine, except for one problem - the timed access. I am trying to restrict the access on my son's iPod touch without success.
The set up is as follows:
Default - no access
All other machines - all day everyday
My son's iPod touch - weekdays restricted to evenings and weekends a more relaxed restriction.
The problem is this - his iPod touch allows him to access at any time. If I take his iPod touch off the timed access list, the default works i.e. he can't connect to the network. If I apply the settings again, he has free access.
I've tested his restrictions on my iPhone and they apply perfectly - doh!
Any suggestions please?
Thanks
Paul

Found the answers myself
MAC address is a unique address (looks like 00:05:92:a6:3a:70) that each network card on a Mac or PC has. To find it, go to System Prefs/Network/Firewire. On the PC use the Start-button and write the command ipconfig_/all to get the physical address. Add one line for each client (Mac or PC) in the time access configuration for the Airport Base Station, and here you can limit the access time for each client.

  • Problem with lacie HD and airport extreme need help!!

    Let me first off tell you what my set up is powerbook with the latest 10.4 os, airport extreme software up to date, a Lacie 500gb usb hard disk connected to the airport extreme, i've got an apple TV connected to the extreme via ethernet, I also have a macbook pro using the airport.
    The problem i've got is the powerbook is the main hub between the external hard disk and the apple tv but it's started to not hold a connection to the lacie i keep having to tell the powerbook to connect then ok it with a password and as a result i have to keep re syncing things like movies and photos to the apple tv.
    Is there a way to automatically connect the powerbook to the hard disk with out it needing a password if not can anyone come up with an explanation as to why the disk has started to unmount after being fine for weeks?
    My macbook pro has no problems keeping a connection.
    Thanks in advance

    I just found out something today which might help you Daniel, but that doesn't solve our problem in a "classic" way...
    So I was very obsessed by the fact that Windows Vista could actually access the shared HD with Bonjour and with a lot of testing I found this : let's say my macbook pro was off, if I would access the HD with Vista and then open up the MacBook Pro, then there would be no problem.
    Eventually I found out that the problem really came from the fact that my WD MyBook 1Tb external drive was putting itself on standby after a while (which is a good thing actualy). When I was trying to connect to the drive while it was on standby with Finder, it would try to connect forever... however, it would physically wake up the external drive (I could tell by the sound)... but too late for Finder, and no way to access it other than rebooting the Mac... OR crashing Finder (Apple Menu - Force to quit). Then the Finder restarts automatically and the drive works.
    I really don't like this solution (having to crash finder) but it works.
    PLEASE if someone has a better way, let me know !!!

  • I have a movie streaming problem with my 2nd generation Airport Extreme

    I am using a second generation airport extreme and I am having trouble streaming movies/tv.  I did not have a problem using a new airport extreme.
    Any ideas?

    This was solved by buying an Apple Airport Base Station.

  • Wireless comm problem with time capsule or airport extreme using iMac G5

    I did buy a Time Capsule and an iMac 20" G5 January 2009...Installed all the components and created a wireless network...MacBook, iPhone and iPod Touch connected perfectly...iMac connected but started to drop communications with Time Capsule...Safari, iTunes and other internet-access programs had problems to connect 100% with the web...After reviewing all the post here and "testing/trying" several parameters, I found out that you need to define a WPA/WPA2 password protection with more than 13 characters...FYI, Time capsule is configured using 802.11n (b/g compatible)...

    Further to Bob's comments..
    A Gen1 TC will be using marvel wireless chip and your 2008 and 2010 Macbook will use atheros and/or broadcom cards.. Just open your system profiler and look for info on the airport. We find the mixture of wireless chipsets especially older draft N and later N products can give very varied results.
    The very fact you are linking at 270 and not 300mbps shows some reduction from theoretical max speed.. and really to get over 100mbps with any wireless you need perfect setup.. matched wireless chips etc.
    Do a test uploading and downloading a file to the TC to see if the LAN speed is better than internet speed.
    In reality I think you are doing especially well.. we see loads of people complaining about slow internet here who are getting less than 10% of the speed they get direct when routed through the TC. And on most occasions the limit in speed is not really going to affect what you do, as the real links to the internet are not that fast.

  • Unforeseen problem with TimeMachine backups and Airport Extreme

    Some of you and many others on the net have reported getting TM to work over Airdisk with AEBS. My question is, as an unsupported feature, shouldn't we worry about how the restoration process would be? Once I load Leopard and want to restore my system if anything happened, I might run into a huge problem if my TM drive is not recognized by Leopard over Airdisk using AEBS. Even if I do the update, it may not be identified and I may be stuck basically remaking my entire account from scratch including all my personal files and docs.

    I actually was successful in doing a full restore of my Time Machine AEBS USB drive by connecting it directly on my iMac. I booted the iMac with my Leopard DVD (with my Time Machine USB drive connected directly on the iMac), formatted my new iMac internal hard drive from the DVD's Disk Utility, then use Restore from the DVD menu to select the Time Machine backup of my choice (exact date/time) from my USB drive. Finally, I selected my new internal Drive as the target, went to sleep, and when I got up in the morning, my iMac was fully restored!

    I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

    It could be that there's a new source of interference.

  • How do I access my airport extreme drives online

    how do I access my airport extreme drives over the internet?

    Here are the basic steps to share an AirPort Disk over the Internet.
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn,) and then, note the IP address shown.
    Select Manual Setup.
    Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
    Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
    Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
    Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
    Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
    Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
    Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
    For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
    In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
    In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
    Click on Update.
    To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
    From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
    Enter the DynDNS-provided Domain Name or Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
    Click Connect.
    You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
    Click Connect.

  • Can't Setup WDS with Airport Extreme "N" and Airport Extreme "G" & Express

    Hi!
    I'm trying my best and have done this stuff with the last model Airport Extreme "G" models, but cannot get my new "N" model to setup WDS. I log in to the new Airport and start configuring, it gives me the option to setup WDS, but it doesn't detect the Airport Extreme "G" model nor the Airport Express I have. The only way I can get them to be recognized is to configure them all identically with the same network name, password, etc. and have each hard-wired into an ethernet plug. Sort of defeats the point of going wireless. In the new Airport Utility, how do I get it to recognize the remote base stations? In the old Tiger Airport Utility, it used to configure the other airports for you. The Leopard one doesn't seem to do that. Any help?
    Thanks in advance!
    Corey

    OK-so after more than a month of having to put up with my Airport Utility popping up whenever I started my computer or came home and joined the network, I finally had the time to sit on hold with Apple and work with a Network Specialist--had to get the ticket "Escalated" first. What the problem turned out being was I set up the Extreme "N" o use WEP (Transitional Security Network) because I occasionally have friends with older PCs coming by that need old WEP instead of WPA. The net specialist helped me walk through the whole setup (from scratch) with the Extreme "N" as my main base station (like I wanted) setup using WPA/WPA2 Personal for password encryption. The older Airport Extreme "G" and the Airport Express do NOT support the WEP (TSN) mode, so they couldn't join the network properly--thus the constant error from the Extreme "N" that no WDS base stations could be found.
    Hope this info helps people in the future! I haven't seen anything around that says Extreme "G" and Express don't support this newer Transitional mode. Even the ever-so-helpful Apple Tech didn't know why that new Transitional mode was invented.
    Thanks for the reply, dhanneman.

  • Issues with Windows firewall and Airport Extreme

    Hi all,
    I'm having some issues with my Airport Extreme and Windows Vista firewall. I've got the most current versions of all the airport express software and firmware. My iTunes can see the remote speakers, and I can access the airport extreme using the apple-supplied admin software, so I know that they are working and on the network.
    However, when I try to stream music through iTunes, the speakers won't connect. (yes, I have the "stream-music" option checked) However, when I disable windows firewall, they work fine. Therefore, the issue seems to be with a specific port that is not open through windows firewall. When I checked the exceptions for windows firewall, all the associated apple software is listed as exceptions. I think that there is one more port open that I do not have.
    Any thoughts?
    thanks.

    AirPlay/AirTunes is based on the ROAP protocol. I would suggest trying the following ports:
    Add TCP 443 for SSL
    Add TCP/UDP 554 for RTSP
    Add TCP 3689 for DAAP
    Add TCP 5000, 6000, and 6001 for ROAP
    Add TCP 5297 for Bonjour
    Add TCP/UDP 5298 for Bonjour
    Add UDP 5353 for Airport discovery
    Add TCP/UDP 7070 for RTSP
    Add TCP 8000-8999 for iTunes radio streams
    Add TCP 42000-42999 for iTunes radio streams

  • Is the Time Capsule wi-fi router compatible with the Nest thermostat? I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?

    I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?
    If so, i already have a wi-fi router, so can the Time Capsule simply be used for wireless backup instead of as a router if there is conflict?

    A TC is fundamentally a AE with a sata chip included to drive the hard disk. Some slightly different bios to include disk functions, although most of those are also on the AE. So as a router it is 99.999% identical.
    And yes, if you have another router you can easily bridge the TC and use wireless for backups and internet connection. Once you no longer route through the TC the issues with most NAT problems including port forwarding should disappear.. mostly this is due to all apple routers using NAT-PMP instead of upnp which is the near universal standard for opening ports.. without upnp apple keep their routers more exclusive.

    Depends which iMac exactly and your network setup, you can go into System Preferences and under the Sharing pane you can enable internet sharing from ethernet (or whereever you get your internet from) to Wi-Fi.

  • Will an old Airport Express work with a 4th generation AirPort Extreme?

    My Airport Express model A1084 will not seem to work with my 4th generation AirPort Extreme.
    I've tried everything I could think of to get it to work.
    I am able to set it up(Extend existing network) with a copy of Snow Leopard but although it has a green light and seems to be working, I can't pick up a signal on any of my devices. Everything on iStumbler looks ok to me except the channel on the Airport express is 3 and the Extreme is 149. The Express is on the 2.4 ghz and the Extreme is 5ghz. What should I look for on iStumbler that might give me a clue?
    Thanks,
    Mot

    The A1084 does not have a setting to "extend a wireless network", so it cannot be used for that purpose with the newer AirPort Extreme.
    The A1084 Express can "join" the wireless network provided by the AirPort Extreme, and be used for AirPlay and to run a remote USB printer, but the Express does not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it joins a wireless network.
    You need the new A1392 version of the Express or the previous version, the A1264 if you want the Express to "extend" a wireless network wirelessly.
    The older A1084 Express could be used to provide more wireless coverage if you can permanently connect the Express to the Extreme with a wired Ethernet cable connection.
