Trying to connect airport to Belkin
I have set up a Belkin router and have attempted to connect wireless but the Airport will not activate.
I know I have the airport card:
AirPort Card Information:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 9.52
Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
When I run the Airport Set-Up Assistant I seletc the name of the network I used and at the end of the set-up Assistant I get :
The Assistant was unable to connect you to the wireless network you selected.
Any help would be appreciated!
Henry,
Sorry for the ambiguity. I was referring to the IP address numbers. In Ewen's thread he metions to enter the 192.68 is more common than entering 10.0.1. I was a little confused as well.
I followed Ewen's directions...except he contradicts himself in the "Notes" at the end of the thread and says not to unplug the Ethernet until AFTER you hit "Update." But , in point # 10 he tells you to unplug first, which is what I did, then I got to his "notes" and read that I should have waited...well which is it?
I have now tried Lovell's and Ewen's (they are a little different) and both have resulted in a useless AE and screwed up my internet connection. I spend more time just getting my wireless up and running after trying to "join an existing network." I am starting to think I should either get an Airport Extreme or just use the AE as a remote music reciever, not co-joined with my own wireless network. I can't believe it is this difficult to listen to streaming radio on AE...although, it could just be me. Also, Lovell's seemed more Windows oriented...
Here are the 2 threads that I have mentioned (just in case)

when trying to connect airport express keep getting unexpected error please try again. IVE TRIED A HUNDRED TIMES AND HAVE FOUND SUPPORT PAGES UNHELPFUL
Have you tried using a WEP password for your wireless network instead of a WPA one? That fixed it for me.

Trying to connect Airport time capsule to my leopard iOS mac. Downloaded software for time capsule for snow leapard/leopard but still says I need more software. What do I need? I have a 10.5.7 iOS (Leopard). It connects to wifi at speeds in the airport and has plenty of storage capacity and memory.
If your Time Capsule looks like this..
Please review the System Requirements to set up and administer the device.....
Setup and Administration
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and Airport Utility 6.3 or higher

I am trying to connect my airport express to extend the range of my network to a bedroom that is hard wired for internet. What type of cord/cords do I need to do that?
You can connect the AirPort Express to the wall port in the bedroom for the setup.....but first....if you have not already done so.....it would be a great idea to make sure that the connection in the bedroom is working correctly.
To do that, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop directly to the wall port in the bedroom using an Ethernet cable. Make sure that the laptop can get a good Internet connection that way. If it can, this tells you that the cabling is working correctly, so the Express will work well when you connect it up.
If you don't have a laptop with an Ethernet port, then we'll have to assume that the folks that pulled the cables and installed the jacks tested things as part of the installation.
When you are ready to install the Express, you can use an iPhone or iPad if you have one handy for the setup. -
Trying to connect with a Belkin G f5d7230-4 wireless router
Hi,
I just bought a Belkin wireless router to connect my new macbook pro to the internet, and I tried running the easy install wizard that comes with the CD provided in the Belkin box. The ''wizard'' seems to be able to locate my internet connection, however it is not able to establish the good parameters in order to continue to the next installation step which is ''connect hardware''. This is the mesage that I get : the new set was not created. It doesn't say why it's not working ... and I didn't even get to the part where I connect my router.
I even called Belkin ... and they told me that my ethernet card must be disable on my computer, because they couldn't see why it wasn't working...and I really doubt this could be true. They told me to call apple care !
I am normally using a DSL modem to connect to the internet.
Please Help!
did anybody experienced that kind of problem before ? or do I really need to use that ''wizard easy install'' thing ??
Thanks.I have multiple PCs, an iMac, MacBook Pro, MacBook, and a Mac Pro. All can use the Airport Extreme and Airport Express to connect to the LAN and the Internet, etc. I also have an old Linksys WAP (54G) that they can all connect to. All are set for WPA2. All three are fed through a 24-port Netgear managed switch that supports the LAN. A link goes to a Netgear FVS318 wired VPN router that connects to the actual DSL router. The switch has two Gigabit ports that support my Mac Pro and the PC "mothership". Airport in the Mac Pro has no issues. I have set the AEs up similar to the Linksys (bridge) and gone through the whole gamut of configurations. If you aren't interested in spending a bundle to replace your existing, a simple Airport Express out one of your wired ports will work. Use the DHCP of the Belkin, don't turn on DHCP in the AE, making it a bridge. You can still use the iTunes functionality and send them to the audio out on the AExpress. It is a pretty cool little device. But, if you want some heavy hardware, the Extreme N works great, save for the lack of a Gigabit Ethernet port for the Mac Pro. The Express is the cheapest way out of your dilemma. Or, a Linksys 54G (used) WAP. Netgears work pretty well also, but the lower priced unit of any manufacturer seem to have some issues.

Error when trying to connect Airport Express to Base Station
I came home today and the light was flashing amber on my Express. Tried to re-connect but keep getting this message: "There was an error setting up this wireless device for WDS. Quit Airport Utility and try again." I have, several times and it still won't connect. Got any ideas? My wireless router is the older Apple version flying saucer.
Thanks....Have you tried using a WEP password for your wireless network instead of a WPA one? That fixed it for me.

Attempting to connect ubee d3.0 comcast modem to airport extreme base station.
Light on airport will go green, but I cannot connect to the internet.
I'm sure it has something to do with DHCP/NAT - as the airport extreme is getting an IP address, but then assiging a 10.x.x.x IP to my computer
but attempts at putting it in bridge mode just causes the light to go yellow and give warning of "No DNS Server" and "No internet connection"
I am able to connect to the internet when I connected directly to the modem.
I'm running OS 10.8.5
previously had DSL modem and connected after a few easy tweaks of the NAT settings before. am unsure what the issue is on this on... have used up my rather limited tech knowledge.
any thoughts?
Thank you!Attempting to connect ubee d3.0 comcast modem to airport extreme base station.
Light on airport will go green, but I cannot connect to the internet.
Ubee provides both cable modems and gateway devices. What is the model number of yours?
I'm sure it has something to do with DHCP/NAT - as the airport extreme is getting an IP address, but then assiging a 10.x.x.x IP to my computer
By default, the AirPort Extreme would performing as a router with both NAT & DHCP enabled. Also, it would act as a DHCP server for the local network and provide out Private IP addresses in the range of 10.0.1.2 - 10.1.1.200. The WAN-side IP address of the Extreme should be a Public one and provided to you by your ISP via the Ubee modem. Did you perform a "factory default" reset on the Extreme before attempting to connect it to the modem? -
Trying to connect Airport Express Base Station to mky iBook G4
I just got an Airport Express Base Station. I'm following the directions to hook it up, but all I get is a blinking amber light, and no internet. Help!
Unplug everything, then do a restart in this order:
Modem (wait a minute or 2) AEBS, then your mac. That should get you up and running.
(Note, some broadband providers use MAC Addressing, which ties the MAC device address to access the web, if this is the case, you may need to contact your provider to reset this address) -

I'm trying to connect a Belkin brand stereo audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV (Apple "genius" handed me the cable to purchase.) I have tried all the ports in the back of the Sony, and tried the volume on both the cable and TV remotes. I cannot get sound out of the Sony from my MacBook Pro laptop. What am I doing wrong???
Downloaded your operating manual. It appears that you need to connect the HDMI to HDMI 1 and the audio to the input socket just to the right of the VGA socket (i.e., between the VGA and the RF input connection). The picture on page13 seems to be the clearest I could find:
Although it's not exactly clear I think they are talking about a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo jack for the audio inpu as opposed to the more common RCA jacks used in the row just above that VGA input socket.
I haven't checked the manual as yet whether you need to set anything special with the controls other than input select.
Note, if that truly is a 3.5 mm stereo jack cables are very common. In your case it would just be a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on each end.
Update:
You will have to experiment with this but I think you will need to try pusing the input button to select either HDMI1 or PC (or Component?). The manual is not clear on this (page 31). Sometimes it just comes down to pushing buttons. -
I have tried to connect the new mac to an existing time capsule both directly through ethernet and through wifi. Both times I get Internet connection OK but Airport Utility is stuck searching for the base station. I have two existing macs which are connected fine and have both been backing up quite happily. The first two macs are the same user (me) and the new one is for a different user in the house. All the macs are running Mavericks.
I have tried rebooting the time capsule and the new mac - didn't help.
Any information as to what I can try would be most welcome.
Many thanksHi All
I have solved my problem! It was the old chestnut the firewall issue. We have McAfee firewalls on our machines and the wifi network was set up as a public rather than a home network. I changed it to Home or Work and het presto the time capsule appeared. I didn't have this problem with the other machines at all.
I hope this helps someone!! -
I am trying to connect my pc, iphone, ipad to a airport but it can not see it.
i am trying to connect to a airport with my pc but when scanning it does not see the airport - any ideas?
Not sure, but try these.
Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.
Cheers, Tom -
I have an airport extreme. i am trying to connect a laptop with windows 7 to a wireless printer, with no luck. any ideas?
The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan. -
Hi,
I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" with SSD 256 Gb and its almost a brand-new (the 4th time to use the device) a while ago i was trying to connect to my home wireless network it said that the connection is timed out so i clicked the airport sign on the top it said that your airport is not configured then I restarted the system but it didn't restarted it showed the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel for more than 10min so I tried the force shutdown by pressing the power button till it switched off I waited for 5min then pressed the power button to start or boot the system and again the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel, I waited for more than 20min nothing changed, any solution please?
Your help is really appreciated"Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
Thanks really appreciating your help -
I have been trying to setup Airpot Expresses (both old and new models) for a while now with the Airpot Utility 5.6.1 for Windows without any luck. I have tried this on multiple windows machines, factory reseted the devices if I needed to, but I have not had any success since this software arrived. I see the routers on the Airport Utility UI, I click on it then try to connect to set it up. At this point, it gets stuck with a long progress bar trying to connect to the device without any success. I also have a Macbook Pro, and this device & software has had no trouble setting up the routers. The problem is, we are shipping these small routers out to customers who use Windows machines and it is vital that the user can modify the settings using Airpot Utility. I am at a loss for what to do and if we can't find any solutions, we are going to move on to a different company for the routers we ship out.
