Trying to Connect 10.7.5 to 802.11N Airport station to print

Hi I have been trying to connect my printer and my computer via my AirPort Utility Station 802.11N, the airport station has the Orange light on solid and is connected to my laser printer via ethernet cable (I have also tried connecting with USB). I have tried pressing reset on the AirPort Station but it has made no difference.
The error I am getting on the computer in AirPort Utility (Version 6.3) is 'No configured Airport base stations have been found. AirPort Utility will continue searching'.
Does anyone know how I can configure this as the 'Base Station' Settings in AirPort Utility are all greyed out I can not reset from the computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you

  • Can't connect to Time Capsule + no 802.11n support

    I just got my new 13" MacBook (late 2008). Originally, I thought I couldn't connect to my wireless N router which happens to be Apple Time Machine. According to network utility program, my MacBook only supports a/b/g - this is not right! Now, I discover that in addition to the N problem I can't even connect to my Time Capsule wirelessly! Good thing I have 2 separate wireless routers (linksys).
    My other Macs (white MacBook and 20" iMac) have no problem connecting to Time Capsule over 802.11n. Both machine indicates 802.11n support under network utility program.
    Compound this problem with stuck 'a' key on my keyboard.
    I really, don't get this problem. I spent an hour with Apple tech with no avail. I am thinking about returning this new MacBook.

    I have the exact same problem you have described. Unable to find a solution. Odd because I have a 2007 MacBook Pro and it works fine wirelessly. Wireless-N on the MacBook works fine and it can connect to other wireless networks, just not it's home one.
    If anybody is interested, here's a dump from the console log when airport attempts to connect. Our wireless station doesn't broadcast.

  • Trying to connect my wired PC to the wireless airport express via the wireless router.

    Trying to connect my wired PC to the wireless airport express via the wireless router.  TP-link wired/wireless router.  Ultimate goal is to send music from iTunes on PC to wireless router, then to airport, then to reciever.  The amber light is blinking.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    If I'm understanding right your need and your computer has wired access to your network/router, all you have to do is give your AX wireless or wired access to your network too.
    Wired should be easier.  Just use a network cable to connect to the router.  Power up the AX and look for it on AirPort Utility, do so without changing any of your computer settings.  If it's visible, then on iTunes your AX should be visible on the AirPlay icon at the bottom-right corner.
    If you want to connect your AX to your router wirelessly I would suggest to reset your AX settings by pressing and holding for a few secs the reset button next to all the ports.  Once it is reset, using your computer try to look for the wireless network it'll be creating, it should be something like Apple Network 4341eb.  Join that network and, using the AirPort Utility, configure your AX as a network client.  Go to Wireless > Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network.
    Select your router wireless network from the drop-down menu, select the appropriate security and type in your password.  Click update.
    It'll restart and automatically join your network.  Have your computer join back your router network and, again, in iTunes bottom right you should be able to see the AX speakers.
    Let me know if this worked.

  • Im trying to connect my ipad 2 to my new airport extreme

    but it says ''not connected to the internet'' even though i have full wifi bars. what should i do it works fine on the computer.

    The "full bars" indicator just means that your iPad is receiving a strong wireless signal, not that it is connected to the Internet.
    Does your iPad have any issues connecting to other Wi-Fis for Internet access or just to your new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
    Regardless, please check out this Apple Support article: iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • Buy 802.11N AirPort Extreme & Use old 802.11g as router to connect  xbox

    My son's xbox 360 was connected via an airport express to my wireless LAN which uses the older "dome" 802.11g airport base station. This worked well until the airport express express "burned out". I was going to buy a new airport express 802.11N for $99 but then realized that by buying an airport extreme 802.11N base station (for $179) and using my old 802.11g base station instead of a new airport express 802.11N to connect to the xbox, I would be upgrading my household LAN to 802.11N for only $79 more than the cost of a new airport express.
    I am concerned that by using the 802.11g as a router to connect to the xbox I woud be slowing down the whole network thus defeating the purpose of upgrading my current LAN with a new 802.11N extreme base station.
    Is there a "right" way to configure the network so as to use my old
    802.11g airport extreme as a wireless router (instead of a new airport express) to connect to the xbox without slowing the whole network?
    What do people do with their old 802.11g airport extremes when they upgrade to the 802.11N airport extreme base station?

    +My question is this: may I toggle the 2004 g extreme on and off -as needed- to extend or use a printer?+
    If all of the devices on the network are "n", then you'll be able to make use of Apples new "extend a wireless network" configuration. The wireless will operate at much faster "n" speeds.
    If you add a new AirPort Extreme "n" and you want the older "g" Extreme to "extend", you'll still have to use the older WDS setup on all of the routers on the network. This will drop the entire network down to "g" levels and cause a signficant loss of bandwidth as well. In effect, it would be the same as if you had all older "g" routers on your network.
    You could configure the older Extreme to "join" the wireless network. It would not provide any additional wireless coverage configured this way, but it would allow the other "n" devices to operate at "n" levels. You could plug a printer into this device assuming that it's compatible with remote printing at the USB port of the Extreme.
    I would not recommend turning a network device on and off as this will surely cause connection issues with other network devices, probably sooner rather than later. If you plan to use the older "g" Extreme to provide a print function, plan on leaving it powered on with the rest of the network.

  • 802.11n Airport Express won't connect to Internet

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased a new 802.11n Airport Express which works fine with the Airport Utility, but will not connect to the internet through the Ethernet.
    It is plugged directly from the cable model into the 802.11n via Ethernet.
    I know that it is not the modem/internet service provider because when I pop my old 802.11b/g (model A1084) everything works fine, and I connect no problem.
    The settings appear the same, but with the old model I get internet, with the 802.11n I get the flashing amber light. If I set it up manually, and input the same IP, Subnet Mask, and Router number that is working for the 802.11b/g model, I get the solid green light, but no internet.
    Originally, I assumed I'd just picked up a lemon, so I exchanged it and I am getting the exact same results so I must be doing something wrong.
    Any ideas?
    I wanted to extend my network, but use the 802.11n as the internet input so I could take advantage of the faster speeds.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You mentioned that you had a cable modem. Although the ISP will claim otherwise, in many cases it will take 20-30 minutes for a modem to completely reset. The reset is needed whenever you change the device that is directly connected to the modem.
    Power down the modem and pull the battery if it has one. Power down the rest of the system as well.
    Power up the modem first and let it run for 5-10 minutes, then the Express for a few minutes, then your computers.
    Once you get things going, we can look into the next puzzle of extending the network. Please post back when you have the "green" light and internet.

    Can you clarify what you mean by "plugging in"? Are you saying that you are pluggin in an Ethernet cable to the AirPort Express from the AirPort Extreme?
    Or, does "plugging in" mean wireless?

  • Is my AirPort Extreme (802.11n) Base Station defective?

    I'm trying to set up a wireless network with my new AirPort Extreme (802.11n) Base Station. I dismanteld my existing network that consisted of an old model AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express. I can't seem to get anything to work properly with the new hardware. I have a G4 Quicksilver that uses an AirPort card. Is that the issue? I thought they were compatible. I was not able to update the Setup Utility because I don't have an Intel Mac. Still, that shouldn't prevent me from doing an initial setup. I'm thinking perhaps the unit is defective. I've been working on this several hours a day for almost a week. This is the most trouble (by far) that I've ever had with any Apple product. I'm really disappointed. I suspect the hardware is defective, but based on all of the issues I've read about in this forum, I think it could just be reflective of the poor overall quality of the new AirPort Extreme. What a let down.

    What is the exact name of the application you are using to configure the airport?
    You should be using "AirPort Utility"
    It is a Universal application, so it should work on both a PPC and Intel mac.
    As for the update, if you can't download it via software update, you most likely do not need it.
    The quicksilver only has an Airport card:
    http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/PowerMac_G4_Quicksilver2002.html
    That means that you will need to configure the airport extreme N to operate in the 2.4 GHz range. You will need to tell it that it needs to be compatible with 802.11b
    There is probably an option for 802.11 b/g/n compatibility.
    Are you going to still use your airport express? you could either use WDS to extend your wireless network without connecting the two airport base stations with an ethernet cable... or you could connect them together with an ethernet cable and configure the same network name and use two different channels (only use 1, 6, or 11). If you extend a network, they both need to use the same channel.
    If the quicksilver is the only machine on your network, it will not be any faster.
    Actually, you could make things faster, now that I think about it... I am guessing that your quicksilver is not located near your airport extreme. If I am wrong, just ignore this...
    You could use one of your airports as your main base station, connected to your cable modem/dsl whatever... then you connect the other airports ethernet to your quicksilver. you then turn off the airport card in your quicksilver and set up the airport connected to your computer to use WDS and connect to the other airport using 802.11g.
    You now have gone from an 11 mbps max (5 mbps real world) connection to a real world 30-40 mbps link.
    Other options would be to look for 802.11g or 802.11n usb adapters for the quicksilver... I am not sure what is mac compatible out there, since it is probably a small market since it is built in to all new macs.
    Good luck

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n Base Station blocking RealPlayer 11 completely

    I am trying to play this radio station (just a brasillian sports channel) on RealPlayer 11:
    rtsp://real.rbsonline.com.br/liverbs/*/broadcast/rdgaucha/gaucha.rm
    Which is completely blocked on my Airport Extreme 802.11n Base Station with the latest firmware update.
    It even blocks when RealPlayer is configured for HTTP only.
    I am using it on my iMac which is connected directly via a ethernet cable instead of wifi to the Airport Extreme 802.11n Base Station.
    RealPlayer can play it fine when I plug my iMac directly to the cable modem so it proves is the router. I never had RealPlayer issues before when I was using a linksys router.
    It does really feel like Apple put an intentional block on RealPlayer to stop competition.
    Anyone seen this issue? Guess it is related with the BBC RealPlayer issue.

    Fixed myself, problem was because I setup OpenDNS on base station, removed it now works

  • Manual Static LAN IP address for 802.11n Base Station when using PPPoE

    We have a network of about 75 machines. We want to replace our main router with the new Airport Extreme 802.11n base station. WAN connection is PPPoE so we'd use the NAT function. All IP addresses of our machines on the LAN are statically assigned.
    Problem is our machines are assigned to find the router at a specific address: 192.168.0.254. The default base station IP in that subnet is 192.168.0.1. Is there any way to change the IP of the base station to 192.168.0.254 from the default of 192.168.0.1? We can do it if we have it join our existing LAN in bridge mode, but we want it to provide the main NAT functions AND connect to our ISP's PPPoE server WITHOUT having to change all our LAN devices to find it at 192.168.0.1. Possible?

    The HH will only show devices which use DHCP in the list of devices, unless you've set the device to use a static IP in the HH Home Network page.  It's a bit of a silly idea and IMO the software on the router is terrible, but you do it like this...
    - Set the printer to use DHCP to get an IP address.
    - Log in to the HomeHub 5 and browse to the Home Network page (http://192.168.1.254/index.cgi?active_page=9130)
    - Find the printer in the list of devices and click on it.
    - Click on 'Yes' next to the "Always use this IP address" option.
    - Set the IP address on the printer statically and update your devices to use the new IP address of the printer (if it changed from what it was before).
    That will ensure that the DHCP server in the HH5 doesn't lease the same IP to another device.  This will also allow you to see the printer in the list of devices.

  • Can I Use 802.11n Base Station and 802.11n AirPort Express in an 802.11 ac Time Capsule Main Base Station WDS Network?

    I havea "wirelessly challenged" 2-story home and need to extend the range.  Currently I have an 802.11n Main Base Station with an 802.11n Airport Express Remote.  It's not getting the job done (upstairs connection is weak).
    I am considering getting an 802.11ac Airport Time Capsule to help, even though I currently only have devices with 802.11n wireless connectivity (future-proof a little).
    I an planning on setting up a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Network:
    1.) Setting up the Time Capsule as the Main Base Station connected to a Cable modem
    2.) Reconfiguring and Setting up the current AirPort Extreme 802.11n as a Relay Base Station
    3.) Reconfiguring and Setting up the current AirPort Express 802.11n as a Remote Station
    I cannot "hard wire" one Base Statio to the other.
    Will this work?

    Will this work?
    Unfortunately, no.  WDS is a older, very inefficient way to extend the wireless network signal.
    As such, newer operating systems like Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks do not even offer settings for this older WDS type of network.
    In addition, the new Time Capsule has no capabilities to use WDS settings at all, even if you used a Mac with another operating system to try to set things up.
    Even if it were possible to set up a WDS network, the speed on the network would be incredibly slow. As you know, WDS only operates at "g" wireless speed levels. Each "relay" or "remote" that you add to the network each cuts that bandwidth or speed in half.
    With a WDS "main", "relay" and "remote", the network would be operating at about 14 Mbps......a tiny fraction of what the devices would be capable of providing normally.

  • 802.11n AirPort Extreme and Express

    Hello,
    Thank you in advance for all your help and replies, I truly appreciate it.
    I'm looking to purchase an 802.11n Airport Extreme and AirPort Express. I want to setup the Extreme next to my DSL modem and setup the Express in another room and have it extend the wireless network. The Express will also serve as an ethernet port from my DVR unit. I have read different posts that indicated that if I setup the Express to wirelessly connect to the Extreme, via WDS, or some other method, the wireless network will be downgraded to 802.11g. I currently have a 802.11g wireless network. I have one Buffalo Technology 802.11g wireless router and one Buffalo Technology 802.11g router (setup as an access point) and can do everything I need except connect a external HD via USB.
    If at all possible, I would like the entire network (Extreme and Express) to use the same SSID and password. Have the Extreme perform the MAC filtering, provide DHCP address, and service a guest network.
    So, do I understand what I have read correctly, that connecting an 802.11n Extreme and 802.11n Express via wireless (WDS, or other method) will downgrade the network to 802.11g? Are there any other recommendations on how I should connect these two devices and provide 802.11n service?
    Again, thank you in advance.
    --GMReed

    When using the "extend" feature with the new 802.11n base stations, the extended wireless network operates in the 802.11n mode. I believe you may be referring to one of two things that may have led you to that conclusion: 1) When extending a network with the older static version of a WDS, the extended network operates in the 802.11g mode. This is true when either or both base stations are 802.11g models, and 2) Non-"n" wireless clients, connected to a "n" network, will bring the network down to the lowest bandwidth level of the oldest standard. Although connecting these types of clients does affect the overall bandwidth available to "n" clients, it does NOT bring the overall wireless network down to "g" or "b" level.
    >If at all possible, I would like the entire network (Extreme and Express) to use the same SSID and password.
    By default, both base stations must uses the same Network Name or SSID and wireless password to work properly.
    >Have the Extreme perform the MAC filtering, provide DHCP address, and service a guest network.
    For MAC filtering in an extended network, both base stations must be configured with the same MAC addresses for all clients that you want access to the extended network. The Extreme would provide DHCP service, but (unfortunately) you cannot extend the guest network.

  • Upgrading to a 802.11n Airport Express Card in my Macbook Pro

    I found this question on the forums answered over 4 years ago and thought to ask it to get a more current response given that both hardware and sellers have changed significantly in the time passed.
    I've also found it difficult to replace the wireless card in my Macbook Pro.  I was able to track down the current part number in my device as being 661-3890; but I figure it may be better just to upgrade to an 802.11n compatible card.  I've found a few listings on ebay but they are not straight forward.  I want to make sure that anything I might buy is at least compatible with my computer.
    A creditable site, OWC, has a part number 661-5048 they sell that is compatible but is on the upper end of the price spectrum.  I have the A1150 Macbook Pro (1,1) which I believe is also referred to as the late 2006/early 2007 model.  In my research I was able to deduce that some people have had success replacing their cards with the Atheros AR5BXB6 card although there appears to be some debate regarding the different Manufacture Part numbers (482261-001 and 482261-002).  There are a few of these listed on auctions (used and new) but the range in price is $100.
    I'm new to the Mac screen and would appreciate any help in the right direction as I have yet to find an authority that confidently and clearly states what cards are compatible with my box.  Thanks!
