Setting up PS3 to work through Airport Extreme

I've checked various message boards and many seem to have this problem but I can't find a clear solution. I have a new PS3, it locations my Airport Extreme network, which uses a WEP password, but when I type in my password it won't accept it. I don't know how to convert my simple password to the ASCII or Hex password it seems to need, and I'm not sure how to reset my Airport so as to start all over. Has anyone else successfully configured their PS3 to Airport Extreme and have any advice for me?

Launch AirPort Utility, double-click on your AirPort Extreme in the left column, then pull down the "Base Station" menu and select "Equivalent Network Password".

  • Can I get my phone to work through airport extreme?

    I Have NBN and I'm trying to find a way to use my cordless phone through my AirPort Extreme device. Any suggestions?

    Sorry, but what is NBN? Would that be National Broadband Network in Australia?
    What is your goal in using your cordless phone with your AirPort Extreme base station? Is it to configure it as an IP phone? Does it support this type of feature or does it rely on a standard POTS phone line connection?
    If your goal is to set up an IP phone system at your home, you may want to consider another modem/router that has this as an offered service as the Apple routers do not. I would suggest that you contact your NBN provider to see what they offer/support.

  • Time Capsule can't set up as wireless network, but Airport Extreme works

    I just bought a Time Capsule to use as a back-up hard drive and a wireless network. I currently have a Airport Extreme for my wireless network and it works fine. When I try to plug in the ethernet cable into the Time Capsule to set up a new wireless network - all I get is a blinking amber light on Time Capsule and Airport Utility can not find Time Capsule. When I plug the ethernet cable back into the Airport Extreme to see if my DSL is working - the Airport Extreme light is back on and I can connect to the internet. I updated the Time Capsule with the latest firmware so that's no it. Any ideas?

    OK, thanks for the clarification.
    First, make a note of the configuration settings in the Airport Extreme as you will likely set up the TC the same way. Open AirPort Utility, click on Manual Setup at the bottom of the pane and then click on the Airport icon at the top of the next page, which is a summary of your settings. Would be a good idea to write these down and keep them handy.
    Then do a hard reset on the Time Capsule to get it back to factory defaults. You would do this by first pulling the power cable for a few minutes. Then using an unfolded paper clip or something small, hold in the reset button on the back while you plug the power cable back in and continue to hold the reset button for at least 10-12 seconds before you release it.
    Power off your computer, then restart. When it's back up, connect an ethernet cable from the computer to the WAN port on the back of the Time Capsule. This should help Airport Utility "see" the Time Capsule so you use Airport Utility to configure it.
    If you have set up the Extreme, the TC set up is basically the same unless you have changed the modem or some other things in your network.
    Post back on your progress.

  • Problems setting up Verizon DSL (DHCP) and AirPort Extreme

    I have Verizon DSL with DHCP and old router (Linksys WRT54G). I've bought iMac and new router (AirPort Extreme) to connect to iMac wirelessly. I have a Windows computer connected to the Linksys WRT54G. Now here is the story. I can connect verizon DSL modem (it's in bridge mode) to PC directly and connect to the Internet. When I plug AirPort between the DSL modem and PC, auto-configuration doesn't work, AirPort utility says there is problem with internet connection. Router simply can't obtain IP address from verizon's DHCP server. I've tried to copy DNS server addressed from the IP configuration in Windows, the AirPort light went green and Windows indicated connection as successful, however I still cound't browse the Internet because gateway is not set. Any ideas how to make AirPort connect to the internet using DHCP instead of manual settings? I can try to do it from the mac if needed, I don't think it would make any difference though.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Sorry, I can't quite track exactly what you are trying to do.
    What would the network that you are trying to set up look like?
    Modem>AirPort Extreme>Computers? Are you saying that you won't be using the Linksys in the new setup?
    Sounds like you need to set the Airport Extreme up to supply PPPoE service (which the Linksys is doing now-if the modem is in bridge mode), but I will wait for your response before offering specific info.
    If you've been fiddling with settings, we may need to do a hard-reset on the AX to start over. You should not be fiddling with DNS, etc. Almost always, these settings are done automatically when you have the device set up correctly.

  • Configuring wired desktop through airport extreme

    I have successfully connected a cable modem to the airport extreme and to my wireless mac. However, i need to connect my roommate's dell desktop to the internet and i hoped to do it through airport extreme. My problem is that i cannot get her computer to recognize that it is plugged into the LAN (<-->) port of my airport.
    Can anyone help me with a step by step of what i need to do on her computer? (I've tried the network settings, but i cannot figure it out.)
    She has a Windows XP computer. We're connected through Comcast and have a comcast username and password.
    Also, i want to use security but if i set up a WPA password will she be able to connect? Thanks.

    Vinita, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Sorry, but I know very little about how to configure XP. Essentially you want to configure it to use Ethernet and DHCP to get an IP address.
    You want to ensure that your AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is configured to distribute IP addresses.
    WPA and WEP only affect wireless connections and have nothing to do with Ethernet connections.

  • How can I mirror my macbook pro desktop through Airport Extreme to a digital projector with only VGA and DVI inputs?

  • Internet connection is through airport extreme is not connected

    internet connection through airport extreme is not connected maybe there is a problem setting it up

    Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected
    to the AE (which is also a router if I understand
    correctly) could cause connection problems ?
    Yes.
    Ensure that that the AEBS is configured to not distribute IP addresses.
    Also ensure that the AEBS is on a different channel to the DG834G.

  • Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

    Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

    The AirPort Extreme does allow AirPlay to "pass-through" but it does NOT support receiving AirPlay streams to be played back through powered speakers or an audio receiver as it does not have any built-in audio circuitry like the AirPort Express models.

  • Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme?

    Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme? Such as an HP Photosmart D110.

    Yes, it will as long as it is within wifi signal range of the Extreme.  Of course, you'll need to go through the printer setup sequence. NOTE:  The D110 is not AIRPRINT compatible, so it will not print from ios operating systems that are installed in mobile devices such as iphones, ipads, ipods.  However, there are Apps that are available for non airprint printers, but their quality and effectiveness are questionable.

  • My iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, although it will print if connected via USB. Meanwhile, my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) prints still prints wirelessly. Please help.

    May iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, though my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) continues to function just fine). The iMac will print if it is connected to the printer directly via USB. The iMac continues to connect to the Internet wirelessly. I've tried resetting the printer and ensuring the driver is up to date, but no joy.
    Any suggestions?

  • Will a WD hard drive work with AirPort Extreme to connect with an iPad Air

    Will a WD hard drive work with Airport Extreme to connect by a iPad Air

    If you already have an AE and a WD drive .. the best idea is plug it in and see on a mac in airport utility is the drive recognised.
    If not you have problems.. if it is formatted correctly (Not NTFS mainly) then it can be a drive that is not compatible.
    assuming it works get your ipad and pay for filebrowser or at least download a test copy and see how it goes.
    Always the best way to find out.. try it.

  • Any current inkjet printers work with Airport Extreme 802.11g Basestation?

    Does anyone know if there are any printers out there currently being sold that actually work with Airport Extreme (802.11g)? Not the latest 802.11n basestation, but the UFO-shaped Extreme g basestation? I recently tried the HP DeskJet D4160 and it does not work at all with it, although my deprecated HP 940c works just fine. I need to replace the 940C, and I don't want to have to buy and return 20 different printers in order to find one that actually works... Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Setting up PC to print on Airport Extreme Network

    I just purchased an iMac and Airport Extreme. I've set up my printer on the Airport Extreme Network and can print from the iMac. While I've got the PC on the network, I'm having troubles setting up the printer. When I try to "Add a Printer" I'm not sure how to find the network and correctly setup the printer. This has to be any easy thing to do... Any suggestions?

    Hello Jklink. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    If not already, be sure to install Bonjour for Windows to facilitate printing to an AirPort base station.
