Radio Mode "802.11n only", "802.11n (b/g compatible)" not available anymore
Dear All,
Today I was checking my AE config (7.3.2) with Airport Utility 5.3.2 (532.8) and I realized that there are no 802.11n modes available anymore... Usually it had two options, "802.11n only" and "802.11n (b/g compatible)". I cannot find also the frequency option (2.4 or 5GHz), probably because this should be available only for n modes.
I would apreciate some help here
Thanks in advance!
Is your Extreme / Time Capsule up to date?
See these updates:
Airport Extreme
Time Capsule
Just a thought, and hope it helps.
Also what choices do you see in the Radio Mode menu when in AirPort Utility / Extreme (or Time Capsule) / AirPort / Wireless / Radio Mode?

Spy menu only showing some items and properties not available
I am having some issues with the spy menu. In order to try and fix my issues I built the menu from scratch again on one of my pages. Everything works now on that page and when I upload it to the server, it is all there.
However, when I then copy and paste the menu to all the other pages and upload the the server, the submenu doen't show anymore. When I go and troubleshoot it and highlight the menu in its entirety and click properties, no properties will show. On the working page, this ation delievers me a properties bar where I can + or - menu items. Why is this? As this must be why the submenu is not showing either?
The page where everything works is this (See sub menu under coaching clinics) http://www.golifecoaching.com.au/go-beyond-registration-test but on every other page on this website, this submenu disappears.
Can anyone help? I am tearing my hair out and don't fancy having to build the menu from scratch for every page. There has to be a better way.
I use CS4 and this is my menu;
<div id="navigation">

JenThat is brilliant, that is exactly it! Thank you sooooo much for your suggestion. I am so relieved.
Yes a template would be best, but I am not sure how to do that, so I am left with doubling my work evertime I make a change on this site.
Thanks Jen

Subject: Spy menu only showing some items and properties not available
Disclaimer: I am new to coding in general and this is my first attempt to help someone.
I think the properties bar with the + - has to do with the javascript coding that is generated when you create a new tag, and it is located near the bottom of the page just before the closing body tag.
looks something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var MenuBar2 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar2", );
</script>
so dont forget to copy that over too. Also, check the CSS that is associated within each page and make sure they are all in the same style.
P.S. Have you considered using a template for the menu bar so you dont have to copy it over each time?

802.1x Auth-Fail VLAN and Guest-VLan not available
Hi Pros,
Having an issue with an 881 I have recently acquired. I'm wanting to setup a Virtual Office scenario. Everything is working fine except for 802.1x...
I can get the 881 to authenticate things connected to it, but I don't have the options of guest-vlan or auth-fail vlan.
Idea is if the users takes the router home and someone, either accidentally or on pupose, connects an unauthorized Laptop, they stay off the Corp network but can get to the internet still.
I found this link on Cisco's site:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6586/ps6660/ps6808/deployment_guide_c07_458259_ns855_Networking_Solutions_White_Paper.html
That link shows them configuring a guest vlan right on the fa0-3 ports of an 881W. I dont have that option on mine. I can only configure 802.1x on the vlan interface. I have 802.1x working, for things that connect to vlan1, but I would like to have a "fallback" setup.
EZVPN_Remote(config-if)#int fa1
EZVPN_Remote(config-if)#dot
EZVPN_Remote(config-if)#dot1?
dot1q
EZVPN_Remote(config-if)#dot1

SNMP on 802.11ac AirPort Extreme. Gone or just not available in latests AirPort Utility?
Hello everyone. I just purchased three 802.11ac AirPort Extremes to replace three previous generation AE's that were becomming problematic. I just discovered that the SNMP feature is missing? Is the functionality still there, but possibly enabled by means other than AirPort Utility? Or has Apple once again decided on our behalf and took away a much needed feature? I will be soreley dissapointed if Apple has ommited SNMP from the new AE.
We wish you luck.
Apple removed the SNMP function almost two years ago, so you would think that if Apple were going to do something, they would have done it by now.
But, you never know what might happen.
In case you were wondering how to locate a list of DHCP connected network clients on the TC, that is another item that "disappeared". If important to you, you might want to ask about that as well. -
Ive changed the DNS server on my pc, tried R,ec boot Tiny umbrella , had to use Total saver to recover my photos etc , but no idea how to change my iphone from a paperwight back into a phone, it just keeps saying the apple update server is unavailable.
Its a normal phone nothing done to it , was just updating the software when it went into recovery mode.
Ive pressed start and home buttons togerther , switched the phone off and on , switched the pc of and on and made sure i have the most recent version of itunes.
What next any ideas, thanks?Hi there...
Actually I was stuck with this situation yesterday. Here is what I did to overcome this issue: I hope it helps.
To start with, here are few things to you should make sure of:
1- You have the latest version of iTunes. You may try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
2-Restart your Windows.
If still no luck, try editing the Hosts file, here is how;
1- click on RUN then copy and paste the following:
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2- look for gs.apple.com
3- if there are numbers infront of it just delete them or just type # before the numbers.
4- Save the file and try restoring again.
Note: you should have administror access to edit the Hostes file.
put your iphone in DFU mode before restoring.
I hope this helps. It did for me -
Some radio channels not available anymore since last software update?
I remarked that since last sofware upgrade by some radio channels I get the message "the error occured while loading the content" (example FIP from category jazz which I listen very often). This is very irritating since the internet radio is the one of the features i am using very often on the apple tv.
Anyone knows the solution?HI and welcome.....
It does the same thing when I log in under another user account. My mail application also stopped working at the same time.
Boot from your install disc and follow the instructions here to check the startup disk for errors. See, *Try Disk Utility*
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
If the startup disk "appears to be ok", then install the v10.6.5 Combo Update
Then repair permissions. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. If you see any warnings re: SUID messages, they can be safely ignored, information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US

How to Set Up AirPort Extreme 802.11n only Network
I purchased a used AirPort Extreme base station and a used AirPort Express off eBay to upgrade my home network. Both are the latest model AE (dual band II, firmware 7.5.1) and AX (802.11n, firmware 7.4.2). I want to use my AE as main router (Internet connection, DHCP) and use my AX to wirelessly extend network to my family room, where I have my Xbox accepting only wired network. And I want AE and AX to communicate through 802.11n to maximize bandwidth. Sounds easy right?
Well, I've got this set up mostly working except the 802.11n part. Not matter what I do, It seems only operating in g mode. I made my AE creating a 5Ghz network but I couldn't find this network anywhere. Not on my iPad, not on my iMac.
I'm wondering if I have a defective AE. The seller on eBay told me he used the 11n network just fine. The router is still under warranty, I'm wondering if I should ask Apple for a repair? But since I'm pretty new to Mac in general, I figure there might be something I just missed and hence this post. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Some screenshots of my configuration: http://picasaweb.google.com/xianxu/IPadI do have an AX that extends the AE network. There is nowhere on AX that I can specify radio mode, once I specified it to extend a network. I assume AX talks to AE over the n network and then extends the network to be g compatible? Sounds really strange.
Maybe not too strange. Since the AX is a single-band device, it can only extend the AEBSn's 2.4 or 5 GH radio, at a time, not both simultaneously. Since your iPhone was able to connect, most likely, it was extending the 2.4 GHz radio ... which was also configured to support "g" devices. What I haven't figured out is how, if you set the AEBSn's Radio Mode to "n only" why non-"n" are still able to connect when the network is extended.
... I chose to create a different network name for 5Ghz radio as something like: MID-EARTH (5 GHz). However I can't seem to find this network anywhere. I'm wondering why this is the case? Is my AE somewhat defective?
This may be a completely different issue than the extended network one. If you remove the AX from the network equation, wireless clients should see two different Network Names or SSIDs ... one being "MID-EARTH (5 GHz)" and whatever you called the 2.4 GHz network. That is, assuming that the client is capable of accessing both bands. If this is not the case, we would need to revisit your AEBSn's configuration settings. -
Best Airport Extreme Wireless Radio Mode with Old and New Macs and PC
I'm running Airport Utility 5.3.2 and am running / connecting to the Internet with a new Airport Extreme 802.11n Gigabit Ethernet (the new squared off one) with "Version 7.3.2".
In addition to my new MacBook Black (which has 802.11n, I have two other older Maxs that run 802.11b/g (and also a PC that has 802.11.b/g/n).
Currently, the Airport Extreme's "Wireless" "Radio Mode" is set to
802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
But, reviewing the Radio Mode menu, I see there are a number of choices that seem "faster" - 802.11n only (2.4 GHz), 802.11n (802.11a compatible) and 802.11n only (5 GHz).
Can I set the Radio Mode to any of these other settings and still have my older Macs (and the PC) connect to the internet using this Airport Extreme? Or, do I have to leave my Airport Extreme Radio Mode set to what appears to be a slower speed 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) setting to allow others to use this Airport Extreme Base Station?
FWIW, I do have an older Airport 802.11g version 5.7 still connected and set up and the older computers can / could connect through that. However, I was hoping to give that one to a friend for their use elesewhere and wanted to have only one Airport Extreme set up at my house."you'll use N+B/G at 2.4 GHZ."
I guess you means that I should continue with my current setting on the Airport Extreme - which is "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)" - if I want all my computers to access the web via the Extreme. Correct?
I'm too much of a novice to try a "bridge" mode setup.
However, your suggestion (I think) "It would be more reliable and faster speed if you could connect both routers to using ethernet" does give me hope.
My Verizon Fios modem is actually a router. Indeed, I have my TiVo box connected to the Fios modem/router.
If I connect BOTH of my Airport Base Stations to the Fios modem/router and then do the following:
(1) set the newer "Extreme" Base Station to "802.11n only (5 GHz)" and
(2) keep the older Base Station (running 802.11g) as is
then my (and others') newer computer(s) with 802.11n can connect at high speed via the Extreme and older computers can still connect using the older Base Station.
Correct?

Airport Express - Extreme: only 6 MBit in 5 GHz 802.11n-only mode??
Hi!
I got an Airport Express (early 2008 model) a few weeks ago that I used in client-mode (aka "join a wireless network") in my 54 MBit WLAN.
Eventually, everything worked as I wanted and I basically always got connection speeds of 48 MBit or 54 MBit.
So yesterday, I got an Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11n model with GBit-LAN) and used it to create a new wireless network.
The settings are: 802.11n only, 5 GHz, wide channels.
Using my MacBook, I can connect to the AEBS with speeds up to 270 MBit.
But when I make the Airport Express join the new Draft-N WLAN, I only get connection speeds of 6 MBit, and that's even when I place the Express 10cm away from the Extreme.
The wireless monitor (Airport Utility->Advanced) for the Extreme shows a signal strength of -30 dBm and -95 dBm noise - still only 6 MBit connection speed.
Using my MacBook, I get much worse values but much higher connection speeds.
Both Airport devices have the latest firmware and wide channels are enabled on both, too.
I'm suspecting there might be something wrong with my Express (5GHz antenna maybe?).
Does anyone have an idea? Should I call Apple?Problem solved:
As soon as I attach an Ethernet device to the AP Express, it's MAC address shows up in the Extreme's wireless monitor with reasonable speed while the MAC address of the Express is still listed with 6 MBit.
Looks like a "feature" of the bridge mode - when I deselect "allow ethernet clients" the "real" connection speed shows up. -
Creating a 802.11g network with Base Station in "802.11n only" mode
I still have some legacy products running 802.11b/g, and want my Base Station to run in "n" only mode at 5GHz to keep the rest of the network as fast as possible.
My current strategy is to take an old 802.11g router, put it into access point mode, and connect it to the Base Station with an ethernet cable.
Unfortunately, this access point seems to fail frequently - connected devices can't find the access point, and rebooting the access point will temporarily fix the problem.
I'm wondering if an AirPort Express can replace the access point. It can run as "create a wireless network" in a mixed b/g/n mode. I would then cable it to the base station.
Will this slow down the remainder of the "pure" "n" network?
SteveI was asking something similar in another thread. What I'd like to do is run my existing b/g AP as it is and enable an Airport Extreme Base Station in AP mode in n-only mode. Supposedly, you can do this.

802.11n only 5GHz or 802.11b/g compatible?
Using a wireless connection to an AE, I don't notice any difference in speed and/or performance with my MB while in the "802.11n only" (5GHz) mode compared to the "802.11b/g compatible" (2.4GHz) mode. No matter which mode, I don't seem to get more than 130 MBit/s. Could someone please provide me the correct AE settings and/or tweaks necessary for me to obtain the optimum speed. FYI, my AE is connected via Ethernet to a cable modem with Charter Communications 5.2 Mb/s High Speed Internet service. (I already installed the 10.5.8 combo update with no problems)
I see you have marked this solved... but would just like to confirm. Are you using download speeds as your measurement?... or moving files within your local network? For the most part, even FiOS... which is generally the fastest internet available for the average consumer... will not saturate the bandwidth of 802.11g. You will not see any faster internet speeds using 802.11n vs. 802.11g.

Airport Extreme - Only the 802.11n only (5 ghz) works
Airport Extreme - Only the 802.11n only (5 ghz) works
Posted: Sep 21, 2008 2:50 AM Reply Email
I just bought an new Airport extreme Base station, and i am not very good with network settings. I am experience an weird problem.
I follow the instruction to set up the Airport extreme. I get the green light on the extreme, everything went well up to that point. but then when i try to connect to the internet wirlessly, it won't let me.
The weird thing is... the computers that were connecting wirely to the Airport extreme using ethernet works fine. but my macbook pro and along with other labtops are not being able to connect to the internet. On my macbook pro, it first says connection failed after i put in my password. but after couple try on entering the password( i thought i typed it in wrong), it finally connected to the network but still no internet. then I went to the network preference panel to check, it says i am connected but with a self-assigned IP and may not be able to connect to the internet.
The even worse thing is... if i change my airport extreme to only broadcast the 802.11n only (5 GHZ) mode, everything works fine. But of course I have some device in the house are not N compatible, which makes this "solution" pretty useless. I understand n is faster and all, but I still want my G compatible device to work with my network.
It will be really nice if anyone can give me a solution and help me get the 802.11n (a/b/g compatible) works.
Thank you.I am having the exact same issue with my Macbooks. I have 2 Macbooks and they've all stopped connecting to the Airport Extreme router via wireless N. Yeah, I can switch to 5ghz mode, but then my PC laptop, iPod Touch, wireless printer, Xbox 360 wifi adapter and Nintendo Wii all can't connect as they all use wireless a/b/g.
BRUTAL. When are we going to get a fix for this? How do I roll back to a previous rev of OSX, if that's the issue (it must be, as this recently stopped working - i.e. when I installed the latest OS update - when it has worked fine for months).

MBP APE can not connect to 802.11n only 5GHz
I purchased a 17" MBP about a month ago and then got the APE two weeks ago.
I am running DSL to a Linksys (not WiFi) router. I attached the APE to the Linksys and created a network using 'Bridge'. Everything worked great. During setup I tested 802.11n (b/g compatible) and 802.11n only 5GHz, but left it at b/g compatible. Airport Utility is on my G5 dual 1.8 which is hard wired to my Linksys.
A week ago I lost the connection from my MBP to the APE. I unplugged the APE for a minute and then plugged it back in. I got my connection back. This has happened only once.
A few days ago I applied the APE update to my MBP and everything seemed okay.
Today I tried switching from b/g compatible to n only (5 GHz). When I choose n only from Airport Utility my MBP can no longer see my APE network (this did work before).
I did a restart, Repaired Permissions and I also unplugged the APE. No joy.
Everything is fine with b/g compatible but n only does not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
--kenYes, I did run the n enabler when I first set up my MBP and I was able to connect as n only for several weeks. Then two things happened, I lost connectivity which unplugging the APE fixed and a few days later I ran the APE for Intel update.
Thanks,

Can't join "802.11n only 5Ghz" but can connect to "802.11n only 2.4 GHz"
Using an airport extreme and two MacBook C2D's, I'd like to have the airport create an "802.11n only 5 GHz" network using WPA2 Personal security. For some reason, I can create an 802.11n only 2.4 GHz network and join it, but am unable to join the exact same network using 5 GHz.
Can anyone help me solve this?
I live in an urban environment with TONS of competing networks / microwaves / sonos / cell phones / cordless phones ... on the 2.4Ghz bandwidth and want to use 5 Ghz. What could be causing this problem?Me reporting back again - I may have narrowed down the problem, on my system at least. I bought a new Airport express with 802.11n capability and I set it up as a separate network to my stereo, broadcasting at 5GHz. It worked fine, and in fact it eliminated the interference problem I was having. Since my computer manages at 5 GHz, as well as the new Airport Express, it means that the problems I have been having broadcasting at 5GHz originate from the Airport Extreme base station. Could be that others are having that problem as well? I'm only sorry that the base station is beyond the warranty period, so I can't return it.

802.11n only MBP connects new MP not
When I set the Airport Extreme Base Station to 802.11n only (5GHz) then my MacBookPro (2009) does connect wirelessly, as do the other Airports in the chain. But my brandnew MacPro (mid 2010) does not. Is it possible this one works on 2.4 GHz only and does not recognize the 5 GHz band?
I read something about some Airports being dual band. How can I find out if mine fall in that category?Something strange seems to happen here. First time I changed to 5 GHz the other AX's in the chain reconnected. But the MacPro did not, even when trying to reconnect with network Name and Password. Then, changing the network from a closed network (Name has to be known) to one that can be seen, suddenly the MacPro did connect to the Airport network. Is there an issue with networks in closed status? (Wireless>>Wireless Network Options>>Create a closed network).
