  • Trying to connect my airport express to my home WIFI

    Hi,
    I have been trying to connect a airport express to my home WIFI connection for the purpose of wirelessly transmitting itunes to my Alfresco area using my iphone as a remote.
    The problem i currently have is that the airport does not seem to pick up my wireless broadband.
    My router is a Netgear dgnd3700.
    The procedure i followed so far is : 1. Reset the airport back to factory settings.
                                                       2. Plug the ethernet cable in and open airport utility.
                                                       3. Tick the circle saying " join existing network ". Here's the problem, my wireless network does not show up.
    I can type in the name of my network and also the password but the airport is not picking up the signal .... i cant choose a network.
    I can create a new network no worries and connect devices to it but that's not what i'm after. I'd like to join my existing network so i can transmit itunes to my amp.
    I've gone through the discussion forum but can't find an answer. I have also tried to manually set up the connection .. same result.
    Any help would be great ... i'm about to give up and think it was abad idea ....

    If it is the old G version Express you cannot use 6.3 utility.
    You must use the 5.6 utility.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
    Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
    For screen shots see this post.

    I have tryed to connect an AirPort Express to my wireless network. But I alwais get the errocode -4. Can anybody help. I have reset the AirPort Express and updated the software.

    The ZyXEL P-2601HN-F1, as you know, is a combination DSL modem & 802.11n wireless router (or gateway device).
    For your goal you will want to take a look at this Apple Support article for details on how to configure an AX for iTunes.
    If you are still having difficulties with the AX joining the ZyXEL's wireless network, you can try the following:
    Temporarily disable wireless encryption.
    If you are hidding the SSID, disable that feature.
    Change the Mode Select setting to: 802.11g Only
    Change the Channel Selection from "Auto" to a set channel, like 1, 6, or 11

  • I am trying to connect an airport extreme to extend my wifi coverage and it doesn't work

    I hope someone can help me.
    I have an Apple Airport extreme gen 5.  I have a BT router/modem that I connect to my broadband and its signal is OK but not great.  I have multiple apple devices, a windows PC, and a Panasonic smart TV.
    I also use Belkin poweline adaptors to attach the TV and apple TV to my network - its flaky.
    I was trying to attach the airport extreme to a powline adaptor in the lounge to extend my wireless network - it was green for a while but then flashed orange and stopped working.
    I have now reattached it directly to my router in the same room with an Ethernet cable and still get the orange light and the airport utility keeps asking to attach to the WAN port but then nothing works - I can still acccess the internet through my existing bt modem/router.
    Any ideas please?

    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
    Make sure that the setting for Wireless Mode is set to Create a wireless network
    The Wireless Network name would be the same name as the BT network
    The Wireless Security would be the same setting that the BT router is using....should be WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA Personal
    The Wireless Password would be the same password as the BT network
    Verify Password
    Click the Internet icon
    Click the Internet Connection tab just below the icon
    The setting for Connect Using should be Ethernet
    The setting for Connection Sharing should be Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click the Update button at lower right of the window and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
    Power off both the BT modem/router and the AirPort
    Wait a minute
    Power up the BT device first for a few minutes
    Then, power up the AirPort
    Everything above is a "quick fix".  If that does not work, we will have to start all over again from scratch.

  • Trying to connect to Airport Extreme with Dell Wireless 1370 and Windows XP

    Home network using Airport Extreme Base Station with WPA-PSK (TKIP) Security. All works well with MACs in the house (G5, iMac, and Powerbook). Trying to connect a Dell Latitude D610 with built-in Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN mini-PCI Card to the home network.
    Initially home network is not seen on Dell Laptop in available networks (as expected as it has not been added to list of available networks and is a "closed" network)although I do see the neighbors network so card is working and sees "open" networks.
    Set-up options for the Dell 1370 card include:
    Network Name (SSID)
    Network Authentication (Includes "open", "shared", "802.1X", "WPA", "WPA-PSK", and "CCKM")
    Data Encryption (When WPA-PSK is selected it defaults to Auto)
    Network Key
    Confirm Key
    All other configuration items are greyed out.
    I enter my SSID, select WPA-PSK, Data Encryption defaults to auto, tried entering passwrod in Network Key and Confirm Key which does not seem to work. Adds to list of preferred networks but does not indicate availability.
    Question is I have a password that I use on MACs for access to WPA-PSK network. On the Dell there is no spot for a password and it does not seem to work in the Network Key or Confirm Key boxes.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Open (broadcast your SSID) your network and see if that makes a difference.
    Often (especially in crowded airwaves) a closed network can cause connection issues for some adapters.

  • Why do i get an error message while trying to connect to airport network?

    i just installed an airport card in an iMac G5, archived and installed Tiger, updated everything (while connected via ethernet) and now when i'm trying to connect to the wi fi network in the house i keep on getting a message saying there's an error while trying to connect to the network. i have a PowerMac G5 connected wirelessly with no problems, i have an iBook connected to an Airport Express via ethernet and a Mac Mini connected to an ethernet port on the Airport Extreme Base Station. there's a DSL modem connected to the other ethernet port on the Base Station. occasionally the iMac will connect to the network, but that's once every few restarts or log outs.
    help.

    i called apple support and they said after trying tons of software related tweaks and such that it's probably the airport card and to see if it's in correctly and if it is just exchange it for a new one.

  • Xp laptop keeps asking for "network key" when trying to connect to airport

    Hi all. Just connected a new airport extreme and all went well with the Imac and ethernet connected Vista machine and 3 iphones. Life was good and then I tried to connect my toshiba running xp sp2 and I keep getting a message saying the network requires a "Network Key". This is not the password but something else I can't figure out. Extreme's security level is set a WEP/WEP2 and I have dissabled the firewall on the toshiba. I can get connected when I travel to hotels everywhere just not at home.
    Any ideas?

    +I keep getting a message saying the network requires a "Network Key". This is not the password but something else I can't figure out. Extreme's security level is set a WEP/WEP2 and I have dissabled the firewall on the toshiba+
    Here I think you may have meant to say WPA/WPA2? WEP is normally WEP128 or WEP64, etc.
    Anti-virus programs can sometimes prevent connections, so that might be an angle. XP SP2 should certainly support WPA/WPA2 levels if that is what you meant. WEP is another can of worms.
    Not sure about the "network key", that's normally simply the "password". Just a hunch here.....
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station menu item (at the uppermost top of the screen)
    Click Equivalent Network Password
    This will reveal the actual code that is generated by your "password". Maybe the Toshiba is looking for that?

  • PBG4 tries to connect via airport express, but I want it to use ethernet!

    Hey y'all, and thanks in advance for your help!
    I use airport express to connect itunes to my stereo, and for nothing else. My computer, however, keeps trying to connect to the internet through the airport express, and I end up having to turn the airport off until I'm on a website, then turn airport back on.
    How do I tell my computer to NEVER attempt to connect to the internet via airport, and to ONLY use ethernet to connect???
    Thanks again!

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • Macbook Pro trying to connect to Airport Extreme I no longer own

    I used to own an Airport Extreme which I used to run backups on my Macbook Pro, but got rid of it over a year ago. Then a few days ago, after a software update, I've started getting the following error message when I wake my macbook up from sleep "there was a problem connecting to the server airport extreme". I've checked the Airport Utility and it doesn't think there is an Airport Extreme connected. I can't find anything running in the background either, but then I'm not super techie, so its quite possible I'm not looking for the right things in the right places. Its starting to drive me a bit potty as I can't find anything similar in a google search either, so I'd be grateful if someone could help me work out what to do about it (preferably by giving me simple step by step instructions!). Thanks

    Clean install the OS..
    Sorry but if you have deleted all the plist files it would be gone.. but upgrade installs of Yosemite are so buggy.. just start over..
    Use the existing TM backup to restore your files.. of course take great care doing this and if you need to make a new clean backup to a usb drive plugged directly to the computer.. a disk image can also add to the security of your files.
    This is OS problem .. not the TC which is no longer even there.

  • Trying to connect from airport extreme to WGT624v3..

    I have 3 machines on my network. 2 Microsoft XP machines and 1 MacIntosh G5 Power PC 2 Ghz 1.5 Gig of RAM and 10.4.10 Mac X. I had a netgear router (the one listed in the title) and it's configured to run G only and to use WPA. I configured the router to accept either AES or TKIP. Both of my PCs are great and working fine with the netgear router.
    So on Friday I purchased a Airport Wireless card for my G5 desktop. I installed it and updated the drivers to 4.2. I know with WEP using the mac connecting to a netgear you have to put a $ before the password. However that isn't a problem with WPA. I configured a new network location with the correct network name and the correct wpa password. It keeps telling me that it can't connect to network. The Mac does not see the router. It sees one of my neighbors networks, but not mine. I configured it to use channel 11 which is what I am running the netgear off of. Any ideas? Did I explain it enough? Thanks guys.

    DawgsRulz, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Do you have your router configured to broadcast the SSID? If you do, disable that feature. It doesn't add any security.
    If you are unable or won't disable that feature, you will need to go to the AirPort menu and select "Other...". Then you will need to enter the name of your network.

  • Error message "not connected via PPPoE" when trying to connect using airport wireless

    I cannot connect to my wireless internet connection using my ibook laptop. Using airport, I keep getting the message "host cannot find the PPPoE" or something like that. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Hi, Bob. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Which exact iBook model is it? ("iBook" covers a lot of different Mac models, each with different capabilities.)
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Which version of the operating system is it running now?
    What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)

  • Trying to connect to Airport Express

    My wife has a MacBook. We are currently visiting family in Belgium (we live in Spain).
    My mother, in Belgium, has an old iBook; my brother a G4 iMac, and I have a PowerBook G4. We can all connect to the Apple Express Airport in the apartment. All, that is, except my wife: she is the only one running Snow Leopard, the others are using Tiger and Leopard.
    So it looks as if the problem is between Snow Leopard and the Airport Express.
    The Airport Express is running software version 7.4.2; it is immediately recognised with Airport Utility with my PowerBook (Leopard), but is not seen with the Airport Utility of my wife's MacBook (Snow Leopard).
    My wife's MacBook can connect to other WiFi devices: several apartment owners have routers that are listed in her list of networks and at home in Spain she has no problems with an old Airport Snow. Furthermore, on the journey from Spain to Belgium, we used the WiFi facilities offered in the three hotels we stayed, also without problems.
    Any ideas as to what the problem is between Snow Leopard and Airport Express? And are there any solutions?
    Message was edited by: David Neale1

    I seem to have solved this problem by downgrading the Airport Express software to 7.4.1. As soon as this was completed, my wife's MacBook was once again able to find the Airport Express and connect to it.
    Perhaps this will be helpful to someone else.

  • Mac G4 trying to connect via airport to Netgear Dual Band router

    I'm having trouble making this connection.  I've connected to the router with my ipad and MBP but can't get the G4 to connect.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Rich,
    Which exact G4?
    If the original 802.11b Airport card it can't do WPA2 if that's the encryption it uses.
    So we know more about it...

  • Trying to connect to Airport Basestati PC via Belkin Wireless G USB adaptor

    When it comes to the authentication point it usually messes up, what type does the airport base station use and what is the encription etc?
    Anyone have problems with this?

    When it comes to the authentication point it usually
    messes up, what type does the airport base station
    use and what is the encription etc?
    If the base station is using WEP then this is probably the issue.
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • Have new Mac and am trying to connect to airport.

    The problem that I am having is that I cannot remember my password.  Have all other information, but for some reason the password I believe to be correct must not be. Any suggestions?  db

    If you are talking about the password on the airport you can do a master system reset:
