Unable to connect to my house wifi (AirPort Extreme) on my dell & roku

I have setup my airport Extreme wifi, i am able to connect wifi on my samsung laptop, my dell studio 1537 and motorola droid phone. However, I am unable to connecte via wifi on my dell latitude e6430 laptop and Roku its not accepting the password i assigned, other devices wifi works except for these. i dont know what else to do.

What model is your AE? What firmware?
As a test.. do the a few more things.
1. Give a different name to 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless.
2. Set a fixed channel for the 2.4ghz.. use 11, 6, 1 in that order..
3. You may as well also remove the security whilst you do this.
So this is the most compatible you can ever make the AE.. if it fails at 2.4ghz running fixed channel with SMB compliant name and no security.. it is basically incompatible. And will never work.
If it works then immediately put the security back on.. if it then fails try wpa + wpa2 security which is not as good but not bad.. if it still fails, then the device is not compatible.
Simply buy a secondary AP to use with the non-compatible devices.. any old TP-Link N lite for $35 aprox will work great.

  • Unable to connect to workplace vpn with airport extreme

    I have a 6th generation Airport Extreme and I cannot connect to my work place vpn. In the past I used a Netgear router and it connected perfectly, but I have tried everything that I can think of to get the Airport to connect and it does not. Is it even possible to set it up to connect to a workplace vpn?

    Probably not with this combo, unless you manually forward the ports.
    Apple routers do not use upnp used by PC to open ports. Therefore VPN will fail.
    There are innumerable vpn so you need to find the specific ports required to be opened and manually do it.
    IMHO this is where you are going to find the PC world and the Apple world do not interface very well. It is much easier to use a router.. eg your old Netgear and bridge the AE to do what it does best.. wireless to apple clients.

  • Unable to connect Seagate External HDDs to Airport Extreme

    Worked the first time I connected my 2 Seagate drives (via the Belkin USB hub from the Apple Store). Now claims that the "disk needs repair" when in truth there is nothing wrong with either of them, and they work perfectly connecting directly to any Mac or PC. Any ideas/suggestions?

    have you partitioned the hard drives? AEBS cannot
    recognize partitioned hard drives attached to its USB
    port. Must be single drive.
    My experience is that multiple partitions are not a problem. I'm having no trouble with two partitions on an old Maxtor OneTouch. Each partion shows up.

  • Unable to Connect to the internet using airport extrteme

    I am unable to connect to the internet using airport extreme It was working fine with my G3 & G4 iBooks but now I am unable to connect. I am able to connect directly to my Desktop connecting directly using ethernet. I am also receiving a strong signal from the airport base station. Please help. Thank you.

    Try the following, in order, until resolved:
    1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
    2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
    3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

  • I got a new iPhone 5s and I am unable to connect to my home wifi (through Comcast/Xfinity).  I was able to with my 4s but not with my new 5s.

    I got a new iPhone 5s and I am unable to connect to my home wifi (through Comcast/Xfinity) network.  I was able to with my 4s with no problems but with my new 5s, I just get that a message that says "Unable to connect to network [network name]"  Thoughts on how to connect to the wifi network?  My laptop is connected and using the wifi just fine.

    I see the following instruction:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    However when I get there I am offered a screen which states "Enter Passcode", and have no clue as to what this should be given I never had to set this in the first place.
    It expects 4 digit code, so any ideas?

  • I am unable to connect to my home wifi, i was fine in a hotel this past week with the wifi

    Question I am unable to connect to my home wifi, I was fine in a hotel this past week with their wifi, I am not that technical and need help also how do I find my operating system info??

    Go to settings, general, about, and you will see "version." That will indicate what your operating system is such as 5.0.1 which is the most recent upgrade.
    As for the wifi, you might try going to settings, then general, then at the bottom reset, then click on reset network settings. Back out of everything and then when you log back onto your wifi it will ask you for your local password (assuming you gave it one when your router was set up). Enter it and you should be good for go.  At least this worked for me.
    Good luck.

  • Unable to connect on a public wifi...[iPhone 4S]

    Hello,
    I got a little problem with my iPhone 4S 16go.
    When i'm on 3G, I'm unable to connect on a public wifi that uses a pop-up to go trough an internet page to connect.
    Normally, a pop-up opens automaticly with the commercial page where I need to click to connect. In fact, this pop-up is appearing but it stays white ... The only way it worked for connecting to wifi  is when I turn off the 3G but there is surely a solution !
    I count on you !

    At a shopping center , but that's a commercial wifi that disconnect everytime when I put my cellphone on stanby mode. The connect, we need to go trough a site where we need to click to connect..

  • Unable to connect to a particular WIFI network

    I am unable to connect to a particular wifi connect via my laptop which has windows 7 installed. The WIFI is password protected and I know the password, I am able to connect to that network using my mobile phone and other friends laptop. 
    I have also checked the router configuration to check my Wireless MAC is not blacklisted. The same laptop is able to connect to other WIFI networks without any problem. The problem is not with wifi drivers because I am able to connect to WIFI networks... 
    Is there any other configuration in the router that is preventing my laptop WIFI from getting connected ?

  • Can multiple Airport Expresses be connected via ethernet to an Airport Extreme to extend a single WiFi Network?

    I am a big fan of both the Airport Extreme and Airport Express.  In my work environment, I need to create a good quality single wireless network around 2 large aircraft hangars and some offices at the perimeters.  We have a good quality wired Cat5e ethernet network extended between the buildings and offices now.  Is this possible and does it seem like a good practical solution?  I think that 4 or 5 Airport expresses would easily provide good wireless coverage in the needed areas. 

    Can multiple AirPort Expresses be connected via ethernet to an AirPort Extreme to extend a single WiFi Network?
    Yes, this will work just fine as long as any individual Ethernet cable run will not exceed much over 330 feet or about 100 meters.

  • Back from travelling (???) I am unable to connect to my home WiFi : impossible to turn the WiFi on. Anyone any clue ???

    Hi,
    Back from holiday (Thailand) where I connected both my Iphone4 And my MacBook Pro, I am unable to connect to my home WiFi. The icon "turn WiFi on" seems not to respond.
    Has anyone a clue ???
    Thanks

    I cannot see how your travel can prevent you turning on wireless.
    Did you do a full power cycle of both computer and phone?
    Sorry but for phones I have no clue.. but I did find it failed to connect at times and you need to clear out all the old names.. full power off and on again and things suddenly start working.
    Laptop can be same.. but apple has specific hardware testing available.
    Look at doing tests.. or take them to an apple store and get both tested.
    Is there other device still working fine on the home wifi.. have you power cycled that as well.

  • I use IMAC upstairs connected to the house wifi downstairs where the networked printer is. I have 'found' the network printer on my IMAC settings but when i send to print I am getting a pop-up box which has 'apple' as user name and is asking for password.

    I use IMAC upstairs connected to the house wifi downstairs where the networked printer is. I have 'found' the network printer on my IMAC settings but when i send to print I am getting a pop-up box which has 'apple' as user name and is asking for password. I have tried my own IMAC password but to no avail. The printer also shows a pop-up box stating 'awaiting authentication.
    Any help appreciated

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • Connecting Time Capsule wirelessly to Airport Extreme

    Hello,
    I have just purchased a Time Capsule v7.3.1. I am trying to have my Airport Extreme connect wirelessly to my Time Capsule and then use the ethernet connection "wired" to my Xbox. I am unable to get an ethernet address that works when connected via ethernet. I had two Airport extreme's previously connected via wireless and had my Xbox connected via Ethernet on my one Extreme and things worked fine. It seems that my Time Capsule when connected via wireless to my Airport Extreme isn't getting a valid ethernet DHCP address and I cannot get it to work. When I use the wireless connection on my Airport Extreme it seems to work fine when I access the wireless connection to the Airport Extreme. However, wired does not.. Time Capsule

    your secondary router should be placed using the manual button once Airport Utility is launched in "bridge" mode. then configure your ethernet and wireless.

  • How to connect a hard drive on Airport Extreme (second edition)

    how to connect a hard drive on Airport Extreme (second edition)? Does it need a special format? It is now fromat on FAT32, but i don't see it ??

    The USB port your Mac is high powered. The port on the AirPort Extreme is not.
    So, it tends to be borderline as far as its ability to supply sufficient power to a hard drive...even if the hard drive has its own power supply.
    Often, users...including me....need to use a powered USB hub when they attach any drive to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
    You might want to give that a try. Double check to make sure that the drive is formatted in FAT32 as well, since Windows NTFS or exFAT will not work with the AirPort Extreme.
    Powering down and restarting the entire network.....modem first, then router, etc.....is something that you would always want to do after any change or addition to a network.

  • HT4262 How can I connect 6 computers simultaneously to Airport extreme?

    I have tried troubleshooting several ways and the some computers work and others don't. How can I connect 6 wireless computers to Airport Extreme?

    Matt
    Is it possible to speak on the phone?  The situation is so convoluted it might be easier to help me get back on track in person. When I first had this issue I got on an apple site that had a chat room in which I typed in my problem.  After several missives back and forth, the apple technician asked for my number and we spoke on the phone. The technician walked me through rebooting the actual airport plug (as opposed to the router box) and got me up and running. Do you know how I can relocate that chat site for technical support?
    Thanks

  • How do I get rid of the error message "There was an error connecting to the server “Office AirPort Extreme” ?

    How do I get rid of the error message "There was an error connecting to the server “Office AirPort Extreme” ?  This message shows up 3 times when I boot my iMac.

    I do have a USB hard drive hooked up to the Airport.  I've never created an AppleScript for it.  Should I disconnect the USB drive and see if I still get the error message?
    Thanks for your reply!
