Using Airport extreme: configuring LG smart tv upgrader wirelessly

I've been trying to configure an LG smart TV upgrader to work with my airport extreme. In the LG setup screen it asks for IP Adress, Subnet mask and gateway. DNS Server: Primart and Secondary. I would appreciate any help. Thanks C

Go to: System Preferences>Network>Advanced>TCP/IP, the IP address, Subnet and Gateway (router) are all here
Then go to the DNS tab, the DNS server addresses will be found here.

How do I use AirPort Extreme to be able print from my MacBook Pro AND a PC. If I connect printer into AirPort, I can only print on laptop. If printer is connected to PC hard drive, I can only print on desk top. How do I configure this to make both print?

If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC

How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal?

How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal? What equipment & devices do I need to travel with to make this possible?

You may mean the AirPort Express.....not AirPort Extreme.....as the Express is a popular travel router.
The whole idea behind using this device is that the hotel must provide an Ethernet jack in the hotel room. Then you connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet jack with an Ethernet cable and configure it to provide your own wireless network in the room. You still have to agree to terms, pay the fees, etc.
The problem with this approach is that it is getting very difficult to find hotels in North America that prrovide an Ethernet jack....most have moved to wireless networks and the others are not far behind.
So, if the hotel is already providing a wireless signal, the AirPort Express is of no use in that situation.
If you normally stay at the same hotels, and know that they provide Ethernet ports, an AirPort Express might make sense in terms of convenience.

Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
Thanks

One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.

Network set up using airport extreme, time capsule and airport express

I have searched for relevant answers but can only find different bits here and there.
My set up is as follows:
I have a Linksys wireless router running a stable wireless network for the other computer users in the house and wish to create an extended, additional network using airport extreme connected to the Linksys by ethernet to create the network and then time capsule close to my Mac Mini on my desktop and airport express at the other end of the house to try and extend the range of the network.
I have been trying for 4 days to set this up but without success. I have tried all of the options mentioned in different posts, using WDS, extending a new network etc. I can get connection between the three devices but monitoring on iStumbler there appears to be little improvement in the strength of the signal, iStumbler also shows the time capsule dropping it's signal totally every 10 or so seconds for a few seconds and then I get a positive signal strength for another ten seconds or so.
Can anyone help, it is driving me insane. I am a recent convert to apple computing and have been hugely impressed with all products until now. The claim that the set up of these wireless products is simple seems to be very exaggerated.
I am happy to provide any relevant system or hardware information.
Thanks in anticipation.

I have an AirPort Extreme acting as a wireless base station, connected to a BT router by ethernet.
Then the correct setting for Connection Sharing on the AirPort Extreme would be "Off (Bridge Mode)".
If I set Connection Sharing to "Share a public IP address", I'm told that: "The DCHP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your Apple Wi-Fi base station"
Exactly. You have two routers....The BT device and the AirPort Extreme in series with both of them trying to act as the "main" router when you configure the AirPort this way. That won't work.
Only one can be the main router, and it must be the BT device in your setup. So, the AirPort Extreme....and any other AirPorts on your network must be setup to work in Bridge Mode to allow the network to operate correctly.

How to set up Airport Express when already using Airport Extreme to extend range.

Extending the range of an 802.11n network
AirPort Utility makes it simple to extend the range of an 802.11n network if you are connecting another 802.11n base station. Connecting two 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Stations greatly simplifies the WDS setup process.
To extend the range of an 802.11n network:
Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
Enter the network name and wireless password if necessary.
Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

Reading the AirPort Extreme configuration...

AirPort Extreme: 7.4.1
AirPort Utility: 5.4.2
OS X Version: 10.5.7
When using AirPort Utility of my 2.33 GHz MacBook Pro I get a long wait (either Manual or Continue) while the pinwheel spins next to "Reading the AirPort Extreme configuration..." After about 5 mintes a get a dialog box
"An error occurred while reading the configuration.
Make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)"
The Airport Extreme shows up in Finder, but I cannot access it. I'm connected to the internet just fine (I'm posting this).
Any ideas how I get to actually access the AEBS? I've read other threads on this (they're old and closed) but did not see a conclusion.
Regards,
John

Just went through the same thing myself. Set everything up, it worked like a charm, then I clicked on this innocent little button: Allow setup over WAN. I unchecked it because I don't want to allow WAN connections to configure my router, thank you very much.
However, what that checkbox really means is, "You are screwed, you can never configure your router ever again, regardless of whether you are connecting over the WAN, the wireless network or even the LAN (direct ethernet connection).
The other thing I discovered while researching this is, If you want to reset the router as you will absolutely HAVE TO DO to get around this problem once you've clicked and saved that one setting, and you have a blinking amber light, and holding the reset button for minutes doesn't appear to have any effect, what you do is: unplug the router, push the reset button and hold it, plug in the router while holding the reset button. 5 or so seconds later you will get a quick flashing amber like and you have successfully reset it.
Now I need to figure out how to file a bug to Apple. I assume this is a bug. It's a huge security whole and I am really ****** off about it.

HT4199 libratone live set up using airport extreme

The instructions for setting up the Libratone live speakers to the router, asks that you press the WPS button but there is no WPS button on the Aiport Extreme. Therefore does anyone know how I set up the Libratone speaker using Airport Extreme?

It would be neat though, to be able to connect
wirelessly on my Dell WinXP laptop over this dial-up
connection at home, the few times I'm going to use
it. So I thought eBaying one of those nice "old"
hockey puck Airport Extremes with built-in 56k
modem.
That should work.
From what I understood, the AE doesn't have a
web-based configuration interface, like most
broadband routers have, but one needs to configure it
installing a software utility, right?
Correct
Being in a
Windows only environment, will I be able to configure
my Airport Extreme-to-be using the Windows software
on
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75422>
Yes.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airport42forwindows.html
? Does anyone of you have any experience with this?
Yes
If so, could you reassure me that this is actually a
feasible idea?
Yes if does work.
Does the AE dial-in automatically whenever you're
generating traffic, by the way, or do you still have
to establish the connection manually?
You can configure it that way, but it is easier to use Jon Sevy's Java utility.
Jon Sevy has a Java Utility for this purpose.
You will need Java in order to run the utility

Stuck on "Reading the airport extreme configuration"

Strange problem here. I have an AEBS with a Win7 PC and my Mac Pro connected to it, sharing a USB printer. All good until yesterday when I needed to troubleshoot a printer problem and tried to verify settings on the AEBS via my Mac Pro. It won't allow me in, just says "Reading the airport extreme configuration"... I let this go on for over 30 mins.
I tried restarting from Airport Utility. No luck.
I tried unplugging it, then waiting, then plugging it back in. No change.
I tried re-setting it using a paper clip. No change, but...
Airport Utility popped up on the Win 7 PC, and it allowed me in, no problemo. I restored and then verified my settings, etc.
But on my Mac, I can't get in. Any insights would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Add me to the list of users who are having the same problem. We are a school district that has 125 airports in 6 buildings. 70 of them are the new Airport Extreme Dual Band units. Of the 70 new units, 18 are having this problem.
"File -> Configure Other" does not change the behavior of the 18 unresponsive units. They can be programmed after a factory reset, and sometimes connected to shortly after the initial "Update" but after few hours, they cannot be accessed anymore.
I have been in contact with Apple support. Their only solution was to shrug their shoulders and tell me to start replacing them. After replacing 2, I had the same problems with 1 of the two replacements.
Something that may also be related. We have occasional short term power outages (3 seconds or less). After an outage like that, a significant number of the airports will reject clients until they (the airports) are properly rebooted.
Sounds like they need to fix the firmware.

How do I use Airport Extreme to limit internet time for my kids? His computer is hardwired to the modem.

How do I use Airport Extreme to limit internet time for my kids? His computer is hardwired to the modem.

You can set up daily time limits for each computer that connects using wireless, but it is not possible to do this when a computer is connecting directly using a wired Ethernet connection.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac and click Manual Setup
Click the Access Control tab below the icons
Select Timed Access
For more details on this, click the Help menu at the top of the screen and enter the following phrase into the search box:
Controlling access to your wireless network
A more sophisticated approach would be to use a service provided by OpenDNS. From your computer, this would allow you to monitor web sites visited, and block any unsuitable sites. More info is here:

How to share files using airport extreme?

how can i share files between 2 computers connected to a wifi using airport extreme?

Suggest that you enable File Sharing on both computers. Assuming that you have Macs....
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Sharing
Enter a check mark next to File Sharing
Do this on both Macs. Then you will be able to access files one one Mac from the other Mac
If you have an AirPort Extreme 802.11n, it is also possible to connect a hard drive to the USB port on the Extreme. Computers will be able to access files on this "shared" drive.

Can you use airport extreme as a bridge to netgear wdnr4500 wireless router

can you use airport extreme as a bridge with a netgear wndr4500 router.I need to extend my wireless connections to the other side of the house

can you use airport extreme as a bridge with a netgear wndr4500 router.
This is extremely unlikely. The AirPort Extreme can provide this function with other Apple routers, but as far we know, it is not compatible with products from other manufacturers for this purpose.
Suggest that you use a Netgear product for the best chance of compatibility.

How can i sync ipad1/iphone4 with itunes wirelessly using airport extreme network

how can i sync ipad1/iphone4 with itunes wirelessly using airport extreme network

Hi,
This is currently not supported by iOS for any devices. Rumour is that iOS 5 will finally add this function, until then I'm afraid you are stuck with the good old cable.

Do I have to use airport extreme to be a main network if I want to use Airport express extend my wifi range

Do I have to use airport extreme to be a main network if I want to use Airport express extend my wifi range.

You cannot extend wifi from a different brand router..
Only apple to apple.
But the apple router does not have to be the main router.. it can be in bridge.. as long as it is creating a wireless network it will work fine.
