Trying to reconfigure airport

I was having difficulty trying to update the firmware on an airport. I was not the one that had done the original set-up, therefor failed at several attempts to put in a password. I finally decided to reset the airport. I now am having difficulty manually setting it up again. It allows me to use it as a connection but does not allow me to get into it to reconfigure, rename etc. any suggestions?

I suggest you try a "hard" reset on your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). You may have to perform this several times in order for it to "stick." Then temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the AEBS's LAN ports prior to accessing it with the AirPort Utility.

    Tried restart mouse,  terminal> dutril tray eject,  forced eject,  most reasonable suggestions on youtube.
    After talking to support, suggested taking to store.
    Any other suggestions would be appreciated and thanks again for the other answer.

    I would recommend setting the wireless encryption on the AirPort Express BEFORE configuring it for the AirPort Extreme in this case. This issue also comes up often when configuring AirPorts into a WDS.
    If setting up security in my recommend order does not work, temporarily connect the Express by Ethernet to the Extreme; make the security changes, and then, move the Express back to the desired location.

  • Trying to update airport express by downloading airport utility 5.6 on my macbook pro/lion.  getting error message "version of OS X  on this volume is not supported"  What does it mean?

    Trying to update airport express by downloading Airport Utility 5.6 (which it says I need).  When installing I get an error message, "...version of Mac OSX on this volume is not supported."  What does it mean/what do I do?

    For OS X Lion, you need to download this version directly from Apple Support Downloads.

    Use the technique described in this thread: I can't install airport utility 5.6
    Though it discusses Mountain Lion, you need to follow the exact same steps for OS X 10.7.5.
    I no longer have any original AEBSs to test. You may need an even earlier version of AirPort Utility. If AirPort Utility 5.6 cannot configure yours, let me know and I will attempt to find the correct version for you. You will need to use the same "extraction" technique described above.
    Edit: If 5.6 does not work try this one: AirPort Utility 5.5.3
    Important: If you elect to drag that version to your Utilities folder, be sure to give it a unique name. I suggest "AirPort Utility 5.5.3" This is not necessary for AirPort Utility 5.6, which will retain that name on its own.

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.....

  • Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet, we also did not create a new network and cannot find this option again

    Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet?

    You might try doing a reset of your AirPort unit.  Use a pen or paper clip to press in on the recessed reset button while you plug it in, then continue to keep the button pressed until the status light flashes several times,
    For more advice, please describe all your networking gear.

  • HT5022 trying to install airport utility 5.6 but during installation it says cleaning up then the installation fails how can I install the software

    I am trying to install airport utility on my mac with OS 10.7.5 to use my old airport express but during installation after it says cleaning up it stops installing with an error message an error occured.
    The software is from the Apple site and all it says is to contact the developer but cannot find out who to contact

    Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
    If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
    Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
    Run Pacifist.
    Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
    The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
    Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
    You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

  • How  can I reconfigure Airport time capsule

    How  can I reconfigure Airport time capsule

    First, it would be wise to update your computer to OS X Mavericks. It's just a free update, but it really helps your computer.
    Once you've done that, on to the fix.
    In Airport Utility, select the old router and click "edit". Click the Wireless tab. Select Off. Click Update, and wait. During the update, you should use your phone to read this, as you may have no wireless for a time.
    Once the update is done, click the new Time Capsule and click "edit". Select the wireless tab, and change the Network Mode to "Create a Wireless Network". Choose your name, security and password. Click Update. Once the new Time Capsule is plugged in and wired, you should be able to connect to your network from your laptop.
    Back on the old Time Capsule, go to the Wireless Tab and select, "Extend a Wireless Network". Select your network, and click update.
    On the Airport Extreme, do the same as the old Time Capsule.
    You should be done! Now, you can move your old Time Capsule somewhere else as use it as an extention of your network. And the same with the Airport Extreme. Enjoy your 5TB of network storage!

  • I am trying to setup airport express. do i have to have it connected to an ethernet cable? i want to connect it wirelessly

    i am trying to setup an airport express wirelessly. can this be done or do i have to have an ethernet cable pluged into it?

    You can set up the Express using AirPort Utility and wireless only, but you must first log on to the default network that the Expess provides.....Apple Network xxxxxx....and then open AirPort Utility.
    No password is required.
    For most users, the Ethernet cable method is simpler....if you have a spare Ethernet cable handy.

  • Error message when trying to setup Airport Extreme Unit - Please Help

    I have never tried to set an Airport Extreme, but expected it to be relatively simple.....
    I have been given an Airport Extreme unit (model A1143 - 802.11n) to use to set up a wireless network in my home. I am using the airport utility app to try and set this up but recieve the following error message:
    This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.
    I have downloaded the latest version of airport utility 6.3.1 as the old version would not install, but still i cannot get past the error message.
    I am running a Macbook with OS X Lion 10.7.5 on it.
    Could anyone help me with this issue and assist in getting me setup.
    Thanks
    Stuart

    Unfortunately, things like this can happen when you try to use current software on a 6 year old product.
    The solution is exactly as the message states:
    You will need to use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update the firmware on the AirPort Extreme.
    AirPort Utility 5.6 can be installed on a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC. If you do not have access to one of these devices, you might be able to take the AirPort Extreme to an Apple Store to have them update the firmware for you.
    Once the firmware on the AirPort Extreme has been updated......then..... it will be possible to administer the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility 6.3.1.
