Software for Airport Extreme 1st Gen

A1143:
What software to download? Should I need to have the software for it to run? Or is it okay for it just to be a router?
I'm having a problem in setting up my airport extreme and I'm wondering if it needs to be setup to my computer.
I bought this from a friend, so my only reference is the manuals and software given here in apple. No box.

have you tried the following ?
open system preferences
open network pane
select airport in the left list
click the advanced button
go to the TCP/IP tab
set the configure IPv6 field to OFF.
click OK
click apply
now try again to connect to your remote speakers.

Error -6753 Airport Extreme 1st gen

Please help me!!
I tried and failed to connect wireless the airport Extreme (1st gen) over the past night.
The glitch started the same moment I reset to default settings. I won't be able to connect to it; not even when I use a cable between the computer to the Airport.
After to I have tried all possible combinations Im pretty sick and tired...
And the only hint I got it's the error -6753
Thanx for your potential hints! If any

Enable IPv6 in your system settings (System Preferences>Network).

Why can't I install software for AirPort Extreme 802.11n while running Mountain Lion OSX?

Why can't I install software for AirPort Extreme 802.11n while running Mountain Lion OSX? The installation CD simply says that the software can't be installed while running this OSX.

Mountain Lion already has the most recent, updated version of AirPort Utility installed on your Mac. The version on your CD is out of date, so you can trash the CD.
Look in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility.

IPhone 5 won't connect to Airport Extreme (1st gen) at end of extended network

See the attached image below for my network setup... The Time Capsule is a 4th gen unit, the Airport Express (Mudroom) is a 2nd gen - both of which are dual band devices (5GHz *and* 2.4GHz at the same time). The Airport Extreme (Workshop) is a 1st gen unit that only supports one band at a time (5Ghz *or* 2.4Ghz, but not at the same time). Don't know if it matters, but the other Airport Express (Living Room Speakers) is a 1st gen "N" unit, again, either 5GHz *or* 2.4GHz at a time.
The Workshop and Mudroom devices are about 100-120' apart, and have a decent connection between the two (I have both units sitting in windows so there is minimal obstruction on a line-of-sight between them).
When I go out to the workshop, my iPhone 5 will not switch over to the device in the shop - it tries to stay connected to the unit in the mudroom, which of course has a weak signal because my iPhone is now inside a metal building.
I've searched online (here and google) to see if perhaps this has something to do with the dual band vs. single band nature of the devices, but haven't come up with anything definitive.
Any ideas? Do I need to get a newer Express to put out in the workshop that supports dual band?
Thanks...

The graphic is fooling you. The Workshop AirPort will not extend the signal unless there is a dotted line directly from the TIme Capsule to the Workshop AirPort. You cannot have another AirPort in "between' the Time Capsule and Workshop AirPort if you want the Workshop AirPort to provide any additional wireless coverage.
For more details, see this Apple Support document note.
If you have a Mac laptop handy, we can do another test to prove that the Workshop AirPort is not extending the signal at all. It is "joining" the network....and it provides no additional wireless coverage that way.
If you want the Workshop AirPort to "extend" there must be a dotted line directly from the Time Capsule to the Workshop AirPort. No other Airports can come "between" the Time Capsule and Workshop AirPort.

Need software for airport extreme for 10.2.8

Hi, I just bought a airport extreme card, but it says I cannot install the software b/c I need yo have Mac OS X 10.3.3. I have 10.2.8 on my system. Anyone know where I can download this? I've searched with no success...thanks!

hellothere, Welcome to the discussion area!
Your Mac already has the appropriate software installed. Visit the Network preference pane and ensure that AirPort is enabled.

3rd Party Software for AirPort Extreme Base Station?

Is there any 3rd party software which would allow a little more functionality and control of the device? Like the ability to see wired clients on the network, at the most basic? I have one of the new tower Extremes and Apple seems to have removed the option for downloading AirPort Utility 5.6 which I understand had much more functionality. Can any of you suggest some other software that offers more than the current iteration of AirPort Utility does? Thanks

Unfortunately no.

Airport utility v6 doesn't see old airport extreme 1st ten

Using new version 6 Airport Utility, does not see older Airport Extreme (1st gen) that is on my network. It sees my newer AP extreme and shows the ID for old machine yet I can't get to it to change configuration.

You will need to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion to be able to access and make changes to any of the older AirPort products. AirPort Utility 6.0 only works with newer "n" devices.
You can use the more functional AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure all of your AirPorts...old or new.
Just keep both versions on your Mac and use the one that you want.

Hola:
Ante todo buenos dias, os cuento mi problema:
Tengo una impresora gran formato HP 111 Tray (con bandeja) enchufada a un router Airport Extreme de Apple de 2ª generacion, ambos funcionando correctamente y con las ultimas actualizaciones de firmware, el caso es que al abrir el asistente BOnjour para imprimir en red a la hora de seleccionar la impresora no aparece entre las opciones disponibles, a pesar de reconocerla. Al darle a examinar para que utilize los datos de Información sobre la instalación (.inf) que me he bajado de la pagina, Bonjour se queda colgado siempre
He probado desde dos ordenadores diferentes conectados a la red y nada
Alguien sabe como puedo solucionarlo.
La impresora se conecta con un USB al router de Apple
Muchas gracias de antemano

What model and firmware is the 2TB TC?
What firmware is the AE?
Does the AE get good signal from the TC in its current location?
Signal can only be extended that is received intact.
Is it extending on 5ghz? As I remember it a Gen2 AE is only single band, although you can choose either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
I am fairly sure you are going to tell me your TC is AC model..
I would do a couple of things..
1. Fix the wireless name, make it short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
2. Fix the wireless channel for 2.4ghz so it is not going to jump around.
3. Get real results from the AE in its current location for signal strength.. this is really only possible on v5 utility. And that is a double pain with Mavericks because you cannot use it.
Apple have removed all the useful diagnostics from the airport utility. There is next to nothing left. So you need to use the computer and its diagnostics to find signal levels in the location.

Best setup for new airport with wired connection to old airport extreme (4th gen)

I have an AirPort Extreme (4th gen) in my basement (of a three story house) connected directly to the Fios box (I am not using the Verizon g router). The new AirPort (ac) is connected to the old one by in-wall Cat 6e to an upstairs bedroom. Can/should I turn off wifi on the n router for best wireless performance? What would the optimal setup be?
On the airport utility I selected "replace existing Airport" and the new ac router is up and running and working fine. I wonder whether the fact that wifi on the old Airport is still on may be good for coverage around the house, but compromising the wireless bandwidth/speed? I haven't noticed any speed issues yet, but I do a lot of video streaming so I want to ensure I have the best setup. Range doesn't seem to be a major issue in my house. It is more important to me to have strong wifi signal upstairs.
Thanks in advance for advice.

If the AirPorts are connected using Ethernet, then no bandwidth is being lost on the network. Keep the wireless functions "on" at both AirPorts for additional wireless coverage and speed.

Where do I download drivers for airport extreme.....my iPad can not be set up by he current software

where do I download drivers for airport extreme.....my iPad can not be set up by he current software

I have an airport extreme with updated software(latest) and I setup an Ipad 3 on it with ios6(wirelessly). You can access the airport to update it with the utitlity app on an ios device, mac, or pc. I dont think it has anything to do with the airport software. Did you try rebooting the airport, then trying again?
Like james said, maybe more detail would help someone help you.

Apple TV 3rd Gen no longer sees Airport Express 1st gen in Airplay after update

Apple TV 3rd gen was connected to AirPort Express 1st gen via WiFi, drove a video device via HDMI
and sent audio to the AirPort using Airplay and selecting the AirPort Express under Speakers.
I could adjust the volume with the AppleTV remote.
Apple TV was stored unused for a while.
After powering on yesterday, I ran the update.
Now Apple TV is connected to the Airport Express via WiFi
but Airport Express doesn't show in AirPlay settings.
I can still use AirPlay from my MacBook running Snow Leopard.
There are no updates available for the AirPort

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

I can't update airport extreme 1st generation

I can't get my airport extreme 1st generation updated. When I open AirPort Utility on my macbook with maverick it ties to configure the new AirPort but says: This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. I am currently using wifi on a netgear router. I first unpluged the cable from that router and plugged in the AirPort and tried to set it up. Then I unplugged everything and plugged it back in. I just keep getting the same outcome. I am no longer trying to connect to the network but get it updated for use. Is there a solution to this issue?

You need to use....or borrow for a few minutes....a Mac running the Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x) operating system to update the the firmware on the 1st Gen AirPort Extreme.
Once the device is updated to at least firmware version 7.5.2, you will be able to use AirPort Utility in Mavericks to administer and update the AirPort to higher versions of firmware if you wish.

Config: Airport Basestation(1st gen w/802.11b) + Airport Express + Xbox

This is the motherload ? for Config./Setup Question:
Airport Baestation(1st gen w/ 802.11b only) + Airport Express + Xbox
(Pertaining to: Network Settings, WDS, Airport Admin Utility)
Network setups (2 possible configurations):
1).Cable Modem ->(WAN)-> Airport BaseStation <-(LAN) -> Lynx Switch -> MacG4(OS 10.3.3) + XBOX using an Airport Express
2).Cable Modem ->(WAN)-> Airport BaseStation <-(LAN) -> Lynx Switch -> MacG4(OS 10.3.3) + XBOX using a Logitech Play Link Wireless Network Bridge
*note with both of these configs. I have only been successful sending my XBox a signal using setup # 2. w/ the Logitech Play Link Wireless Network Bridge.
To this point: (MacG4)
I have installed Amaryllis & Kaid for Mac OS X, & followed the Amaryllis Readme Doc.
I have followed the XLink Quick Start Guide & everthing is a go.
To this point: (Network/Airport Configs.)
I factory reset my AE & ran the AE Assistance. I was able to “Set up a new Airport Express”, & see my AE in the Airport Admin Utility, at that point I got a solid green connection.
Problem:
However, I was only able to do this when prompted “What would you like to do with your Airport Express” if I chose “Connect to my current network”, but at this point if I were to enable(check) the “Extend the range of my Airport wirless network”, & from my understanding this has to be done. I am not able to finish the setup, I get an error right after I enter in my basestation password.
Possible contributing factors to problem:
My password for both my Airport Basestation & Airport Express are the same.
> BaseStation Config. using Airport Admin Utility
1).Internet(tab) >connecting using DHCP.
2).Network(tab) > Distribute IP addresses > I have “Share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT) enabled, instead of “Share a range of IP addresses (using only DHCP).
3).WDS(tab) > can’t enable WDS and keep settings active. (i.e. I can enable them, but if I close out & return they are disabled.
Airport Express Config. using Airport Admin Utility
1).Airport(tab) > Wireless Mode: “Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
2).Internet(tab) > Connecting using: “Wireless Network”, and Airport(WDS) is grayed out.
The only other thing I am curious if it might be causing some issues with my BaseStation is:
If you navigate to: System Preferences > Sharing > Internet(tab), my internet sharing is turned Off. I noticed a grayed out “Airport Options”, that might become active if I enable Internet Sharing and choose a port to share my connection.
*I didn’t do this becuase I got the warning “If you turn on this port, your Internet Service provider might terminate service to prevent you disrupting it’s network…yada yada..
With all that said, I would be extremely appreciative if someone could drop some serious knowledge on me...
Thx,

Dual 1Ghz G4 2GigsRAM Mac OS X (10.3.3) Airport Baestation(1st gen w/ 802.11b only) + Airport Express

To extend the range of a wireless network you need WDS and to use WDS you need two Airports:
AirPort Express and all AirPort Extreme base stations can use WDS. Earlier AirPort base stations can't.
