Re: Can not get AX configured to wireless network/blinking amber light

Discovered my AX wasn't connected to my AEBS when i couldn't play iTunes through it. I probably screwed up the settings trying to get it to work. I'm running Leopard and Airport Utility shows my AX with an amber light and says that it found an AX with "default settings?" . When I click on "Manual Setup" I get the "reading base station configuration" but no window opens showing the Summary, Base Station, Wireless, etc. window. I've tried doing a hard reset twice, but to no effect.
Where do I go from here?

Eventually solved this problem. One issue was that the channels chosen were different on my AEBS and my AX. The other issue involved resolving the configuration on my AX. For some reason, Airport Utility kept reading it as an ethernet connected device when it was part of a WDS wireless network.

    My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?

    Yes ATT hides the APN settings so when you try to use a st sim it automatically reads on AT&T network so the APN settings are hidden and cannot be accessed however you can go to apn.straighttalk.com on you'r phone and select APN/data settings then select AT&T then iPhone and a screen will pop up asking if you would like to install the profile for whatever reason it's not verified but works fine. You can also go to www.unlockit.co.nz and set up a straight talk APN profile that is verified not sure exactly what that means but both work to get the data working on the phone for straight talk but it does not make the MMS work. There are a couple other methods I have read about one is on howardforums using ibackupbot to manually change the files on the phone I haven't been able to get mine to stick using that method but other people have and there is a sim swap method to trick the phone to reveal APN settings using a tmobile sim I have not tried this but other people have with success. The last two methods mentioned will make both data and MMS work

  • Can not get MacBook Pro to wirelessly connect to Deskjet 2512

    I have installed the software 3 times and I still can not connect to the printer wirelessly. The directions for converting from USB to wireless instruct to go to Finder/Applications/HP then choose my printer. The file only containsDevice Utilities, HP Scan, HP Uninstaller and HP Utility so I can go no further with the instructions. I installed the drivers again just to make sure that I hadn't missed something. Still no connection. Help. I have two of these printers and need them both connected.
    Thanks

    Hi sbritt,
    The Deskjet 2512 does not supports wireless printing.  You will need to either connect directly to your computer with the USB, or purchase a wireless print server.
    More information can be found here in the "Connectivity" section: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03244829&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...

  • Airport not "recognizing" network - blinking amber light

    I just got a new Airport Express. I plugged it in hooked up the ethernet cable to it and all I get is the blinking amber light.
    I thought it might need the Cable modem restarted so I did that. Nothing.
    I thought it might be an issue with my Vonage adapter. I rebooted that. Nothing.
    I bypassed the Vonage completely by directly going from cable modem to Airport Express. Nothing.
    I've tried everything but it isn't working.
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   1.33mHz 14.1" 768ram 60gb HD

    Any time when you reset you have to do it in a specific order to make it work correctly.
    The normal reset sequence is to Pull the power adapter from the ISP's Modem and then your Airport Express or Extreme and shut your computer clear off.and next you wait for everything to reset to default settings. (Normally 5 minutes). After your wait you have to plug in the Modem first, wait until it re acquires the signal and all the lights (normally 3) depending on the modem you have. Next Plug in your express or Extreme and again you have to wait a minute and then you can restart your computer.
    Be sure before you start the sequence you have the correct setting in System preferences and Network to Airport. and drag it to the top of the list and it has to be highlighted with the little green dot,and be sure you go up to the icon next to your HELP for signal strength and make sure your Airport is ON.
    And last welcome to the discussions

  • Can not get WET200 Bridge to wireless connect to EA6900 Router

    Hello,
    I have a connectivity problem with my LinkSys WET200 Wireless-G business Ethernet Bridge
    SN: MVP007800846. Any trouble shooting suggestions appreciated.
    My system is Dell Vostro 1500 laptop, with Windows XP SP3
    Basis problem: When I try to connect wireless to my NEW LynkSys EA6900 router; I receive the error “Limited or no connection” from the cable connection icon in the system tray.   I have tried several things ( restart computer, restart WET200) to make a valid connection with no success.
    BACKGROUND and what I have completed:
    I replaced my old LinkSys WRT router with a new LynkSys EA6900 router.  The EA6900 is up and running (after a few set up problems) and able to connect to both PC and MAC laptops and Android and Mac phones plus a couple of wireless printers.
    To set up the WET200, I connected an Ethernet ( ENet) cable from the Wet200 PoE port to a unused port on the EA6900 router. I used my PC desktop Firefox browser to access the WET200 setup screens by entering the WET200 default IP address in the Firefox address bar.  I connected to the WET200, entered the default username and password and could see all the setup screens.
    I selected the WIRELESS, Basic setup, did a sight survey and my EA6900 network name and security setting was present.  I entered the network name in the Basic Wireless setup and changed the WET200 security setting to match the network security setting.
    I removed the ENet cable connecting the WET200 to the EA6900 router. Power recycled the WET200.  I then connected an ENet cable from Port 3 on the WET200 to the Enet cable connector on my PC laptop. 
    I then received the error “Limited or no connection” from the cable connection icon in the system tray.
    Thanks, krazykat1

    Hello krazykat
    Need to ask a few questions, so I understand the network and the area this is in. How far apart are the router and WET? Did this work with your previous router, what kind was it? Normally we (Small Business) can not guarantee compatibly  with non small business equipment.
    I have seen WDS work  between a WET 200 and other WET200's, also with some of the other older Small Business routers, like WRV200, and 210. 
    The main problem is most likely that the EA6900 is too new. I say that because the EA6900 is an AC router, the WET200 only does "G". One of the major components required for WDS to work is that Radio Chipsets match and well as channel, radio signal G to G, G/N to G/N, N to N.
    I am afraid that there is too much age difference between your products.

  • Win8 can not find and connect the wireless network which created in win7

    I am a fan of DOTA, sometimes i play it with my roommate. But after i installed win8, my roommate and i can not connect to each other. He used win7 to set up a wireless network, but i could not find the network. And i used win8 to set up a
    wireless network.Althrought it prompted create successfully, i could not find it in my laptop. So who can explain it to me? I really think using the networkd on right side instead of the classic network finder is a big mistake.  

    Hi,
    As you said,the other laptop couldn't see the adhoc network.
    I suggest you use the following method to re-create the adhoc network.
    Firstly,please use the following command to verify that your network interface supports virtualization.
    netsh wlan show drivers
    If Hosted network supported says Yes, please enter the following commands to configure an ad hoc wireless connection.
    netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=<network name> key=<passkey>
    Then,you need to start the mode to create an ad hoc connection. Please enter the command below.
    netsh wlan start hostednetwork

  • I recently purchased an airport extreme base station. I want to replace my older linksys wireless router. I had a successful set up but can not get it to talk to broadband modem, I am missing something but what?

    I recently purchased an airport extreme to replace my older linksys wireless router. had a successful set up but can not get connected to the internet. for some reason, which I am sure is apparent to others, i am missing some needed info to connect to the dsl broadband modem that I have.  would love some good tips.

    Try this:
    Turn off or remove power from the DSL model, the router, and your computer. Wait not less than one minute. Restore power to the modem and wait until the status lights indicate a connection to the ISP. Next, restore power to the router and wait until the status light shows connection to the modem. Last, turn on the computer. Check your Network preferences to be sure they are configured for a DHCP connection and that the router has received a valid IP address (not 169.xxx.xxx.xxx).

  • Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except join not extend and I can not get a network on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Rout/

    Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except "join a wireless network (which it does) not "extend a wireless network" (Led turns yellow and I can not get a network working on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Router.
    Airport gets it address DHCP.

    Funny how I can ping the Extreme but the Hard Ethernet ports dont seem to work correctly.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "Join" a wireless network, the Ethernet ports are not enabled.
    Oddly, the AirPort Express has a special feature that will allow it to to "Join" virtually any wireless network.....and the Ethernet port can be enabled. So, an Express would work for your purpose to provide an Ethernet connection to the media player. This assumes that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your main router.
    Note that the Express will not provide any additional wireless coverage when it "Joins".

  • I am trying to setup wireless using my old dome Airport ExtremeBase station. I had previously used it about 5 years ago when I had dial up but have now switche to DSL with Windstream. I can not get connecte as ABS keeps trying to dial up(the phone number)

    I am trying to setup wireless using my old dome Airport Extreme Base station. I had previously used it about 5 years ago when I had dial up but have now switched to DSL with Windstream. I can not get connected as the ABS keeps trying to dial up(the old phone number). When I tried to change my network settings an annoying popup window says "your network settings have been changed by another application'. I have no idea what the message is all about and when I close this window it immediately pops up again and prevents me -as far as I can tell -from changing my Airport settings?  I need advice on how to get this wireless setup done. Maybe a reset? or something else? I have the DSL phone line plugged into WIndsteam Seimens Speedstream 4200 modem and then the ethernet (yellow) wire from the WIndsteam Seimens Speedstream 4200 modem to the port on the dome that is a circle of dots.

    1)Can you explain how using the AEBS as a bridge will work with the Seimens Speedstream4200?
    As a bridge, the AEBS will basically become a wireless access point. This will allow the AEBS to provide a wireless network, but still allow the Speedstream to provide NAT & DHCP services for the wireless clients connected to the AEBS. If the AEBS was left as a router, you would have a double-NAT condition which isn't necessary bad in itself, but would create a second subnet. That would make it more difficult for clients connected to the AEBS to access clients connected to the Speedstream.
    2) Is there a link that will guide me through the steps to set the AEBS as a bridge?
    You can easily reconfigure the AEBS as a bridge using the AirPort Utility.
    ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    3)Can I just connect the DSL phone line to the AEBS and eliminate the Speedstream4200?
    Unfortunately no. The AEBS does not have a built-in DSL modem. You will still need the Speedstream to provide this function.
