Slingbox needs to be "On" for my Airport Extreme to put out Wi-Fi?

I have a SlngBox (device used to transmit your incoming TV signal to the interenet for remote viewing). The problem I am having is that after plugging the SlingBox into my Airport Extreme via ethernet, my airport extreme no longer transmits interenet through Wi-Fi UNLESS I have my slingbox "On"... Here's the setup: Cable Modem <ethernet> Airport Extreme <ethernet> SlingBox.
My Mac and iPhone seem to be connected to the Airport Extreme via Wi-Fi, but there is NO internet signal UNLESS my SlingBox is turned "On"....Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening and how I might be able to fix it? Thanks!

You can install AirPort Utility on either a Mac or PC, but there would be no reason to make any changes to your existing configuration on the AirPort Extreme unless you need to do so.

    I have already bought a macbook pro in USA and I want to use it in Europe. What adapter I need for my Airport Extreme?

    No power adaptor is needed as the power units are auto-switching. But you will need wall outlet adaptors such as you will find in Apple's World Travel Kit, at AAA stores, and other vendors.

    If you could provide the make and model number of the modem that the AirPort Extreme will be connecting to, we can likely tell you a bit more about what to expect in the way of getting the AirPort set up and working.
    Unfortunately, "plug and play" does not apply here. You will need to set up and configure the AirPort Extreme using your iPad or iMac to name the AirPort as a device, assign a device password, name the wireless network, assign a device password and a few other things.
    Once the AirPort Extreme is set up, you can connect the PC to one of the LAN <--> ports on the AirPort Extreme using an Etherent cable.
    The iPad and iMac will connect to the wireless network that the AirPort Extreme provides.

  • Can I connect a device to get added LAN ports for my Airport Extreme?

    Can I connect an added device to my styetem to get added LAN ports for my Airport Extreme Router system?

    Connect a Gigabit Ethernet switch to any of the 3 Ethenret ports on the AirPort Extreme to add as many ports as you need.
    Switches come in 5-port, 8-port, 16-port, etc versions.
    Your local computer/electronics superstore will have what you need.

  • FCP X keeps looking for my airport extreme harddrive, HELP

    HI,

    Now, unless i'm at home on my home network, or have the hard drive plugged into my mac when final cut pro x is running, every minute a pop up box comes up saying "There was a problem connecting to the server "base1fool"  (base1fool is the name of my airport extreme)  It is making the program unuasable!!!  I even uninstalled it, using app cleaner, and reinstalled 10.0.4 and still have the same problem!!
    Please help

    Run Airport Utility to see if there are any firmware updates for your Airport Extreme, also run Software Update. If both are up-to-date then your issue may be with your ISP or the neighborhood your are in has too many WI-FI networks all fighting for the same channel. First do a DNS Settings Update and then check, if that doesn't help then download and install iStumbler (Google it) to check the networks in your area. If you see a channel conflict with neighbors then use Airport Utility to change the Airport Extreme's channel to one not being use.

    What is the proper config for the Airport Extreme when a Voice over IP device is between the cable modem and the router.  Its a VoIPo device.

  • HT201514 My Smart TV is asking me for my security key for my airport extreme, wher do I find this?

    My Smart TV is asking for my Airport extreme security key, where do I find this?

    You can find this via the AirPort Utility, as follows:
    Run the AirPort Utility.
    Select your AirPort Extreme, and then, select Edit.
    From the utility's menu bar, select Base Station, then Show Passwords...
    The security key will be the second item, labled: WPA Pre-Shared Key for "<your network name>"

  • Hourly popup saying there's an update for my AirPort Extreme, when all of my AirPort devices are running the latest firmware. Any fix?

    I keep getting a popup saying there's an update for my Airport Extreme, but all of my Airport devices (I have the Extreme, which is one of the original cone-shaped ones, as my base station, two Time Capsules running in bridge mode connected by Ethernet, and an Airport Express [original model] connected via wireless) are running the most recent firmware for each device.
    It's harmless but extremely annoying. Has anyone else had this problem? I've tried re-uploading the firmware to all four Airport devices, but it didn't help. Is there any way to turn off the automatic checking? It's obviously not working right in any case.

    I assume that you have already done the basic things like powering off the entire network and restarting.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities >  AirPort Utility 
    Select the AirPort Extreme, and click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab located below the row of icons
    Click Options near the bottom of the next window
    Remove the check mark next to "Check for firmware updates"
    Click Done, then click Update and wait for the AirPort Extreme to restart.

  • What is the AC classification (1200 - 3200) for the AirPort Extreme?

    WHat is the AC classification (1200 - 3200) for the AirPort Extreme?

    Not sure that I understand your question.
    The AirPort Extreme does not support AC3200 if that is what you are asking.
    1300 Mbps is the theoretical maximum speed of an "ac" wireless connection on the AirPorts.

  • I am trying to find the network security key for my airport extreme router

    I am trying to find the network security key for my airport extreme so I can hook up my pc lap top.

    I am afraid that the "key" will be of no use to you (it is 64 characters long).....but I hope I am wrong.
    Since you indicate that you are using an iPad, I assume that you are also using AirPort Utility on the iPad.
    On the iPad home screen, tap AirPort Utility
    Tap on the AirPort Extreme
    Tap on Edit
    Tap on Advanced
    Tap on Show Passwords
    Tap on Main Network and "key" will be revealed

  • My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book).  The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine.  I have changed the bands, but the problem comes back.  Transmitter problem or interference?

    My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book).  My hard-wired iMac still has internet capability.  The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine.  I have changed the bands back and forth, but the problem comes back.  How can I check if it is a transmitter problem or interference?

    Let me see if I can suggest a strategy.
    I have talked with my ISP and he said that I am not the only one with an Airport Extreme with the same issue. He said to try to write the DNS direclty, rather than using the Auto settings - still nothing works.
    What modem do you have and what sort of broadband?
    What mode is the AE in.. router or bridge?
    I have an Airport Express from 2010. Since about a month and definetly since yesterday, I cannot connect any device via Wifi to it although LAN connection works correctly.
    Is this express or extreme.. the rest of the post you refer to extreme.
    What is the actual model number of the AE? A1xxx from the base or the part number MCxxx from the box.
    If the AE is bridge.. I want you to try a different method.. put it in router mode.. don't worry about double NAT but ensure the IP range of the modem /router is different to the AE.. so if one is 192.168.x.x then the AE on default at 10.x.x.x is fine.. if the main router is 10.x then move the AE to 192.168.x.x
    Make sure the guest wireless is off.
    Using a 5.6 utility on your 10.6.8 OS mini go to the log and see if the wireless is registering..
    You should see lists of wireless connection like..
    Post as many screenshots of the setup as you can.. it helps loads.

  • Airport Utility for my Airport Extreme needs to be changed to a different computer, because the current computer is down permanently.. How do I do this?  Do I have to reset the Airport Extreme and start from scratch?

    The computer (Win XP) on which the Airport Utility has been set up for the past few years is no longer accessible, so I need to set it up on a different computer. Can I do that with my exisitng wireless network, or will I have to set up a new network from scratch, once I have installed Airport Utility on the new machine?

    You can install AirPort Utility on either a Mac or PC, but there would be no reason to make any changes to your existing configuration on the AirPort Extreme unless you need to do so.
