Voip WiFi UStarCom Clamshel phone & Airport Extreme

My clamshell wifi voip phone (UStarcom) cannot even connect to the AP. The manual offers no explanation that hasn't been tried. I cannot connect this "wonderful" voip wifi phone.
Is it compatible with Airport Extreme (802.11n)? The manual says the phone is capable of 802.11n. But configuring the wifi connections in the phone still it cannot connect to my AP. What can be done? Company offers no assistance to private users. How do I get it connected to the AP? I have a SIP account but without AP phone is useless. Extreme works well with my iMac and PB. Thanks if someone can offer help. Please advise. Hard to find anyone who has knowledge.

The netgear is not going to work very well.. and not at all unless it is universal wireless extender.. you cannot use WDS method.
If it does support universal wireless then make sure the airport uses a rational SMB compatible wireless name.. not an apple name which is 35 characters long with spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe.
So nice AE name.. AEwifi and actually while you are trying.. fruitlessly to do this.. use AE24ghz and AE5ghz (so different names on the different bands)
Assuming your AE is gen3 or greater.
You should also fix the wireless channel at least for 2.4ghz since the netgear is probably only going to repeat 2.4ghz so use channel 11, as a trial.
And use no wireless security as a test.. if that works.. then use WPA1 & 2.. as often old equipment using WPA2 is not compatible.
If it fails with simple name.. fixed channel and no security. Sorry it is not compatible at all.. it happens.
If your AE is G wireless or earlier model.. really the time has come for replacement.
If your Express is G wireless model it is not supported.. and is too old to bother with expect I guess if you want to run audio to a speaker.
You must use older 5.6 utility to do this.. so do you have a computer running older OS.. up to Mountain Lion it is easy to install with a bit of manipulation.. later is much harder .. or windows computer anywhere or available to you.

  • Fios wifi at home with Airport extreme extender?

    Have latest hardware Airport Extreme, just got Fios Wifi.  Can I use AE to extend the Fios wifi router?  and how to do it?   Thanks in advance   William

    The Fios router and AirPort Extreme need to connect using a wired Ethernet cable connection....or if that is not possible....you might be able to use a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send the Ethernet signal over the existing AC powerlines in your home.
    Connect from a LAN <-> port on the Fios router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
    Configure the AirPort Extreme to create a wireless network using the exact same wireless network name, same wireless security settings and same wireless network password as the Fios network.
    The final step would be to insure that the AirPort Extreme is configured to operate in Bridge Mode to work correctly on the network.
    There are other much more complicated methods to connect the devices together as well, but another user will need to post on details in that regard.

  • Maximum number of wifi clients on an airport extreme before airplay is adversely affected

    I know the latest airport extreme (2/1/2015) states that it can handle up to 50 wifi clients.
    I'm curious if anyone knows if airplay is adversely affected before 50?
    Any info regarding this is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Airplay will be badly affected if you have any number of clients even 2 or 3 actively using the network over wireless assuming your network links for airplay are not all ethernet.. it is not the number of clients but the usage of the wireless that is problematic.. As soon as you get to 70% say usage wireless will become less and less efficient and unable to handle so many clients.
    Wireless does not share well.. particularly streaming.. let me strongly recommend if you plan to stream a lot use ethernet.. and keep the wireless to a min.

  • Impossible to Wifi link G5 with Airport Extreme to Sagem Livebox

    I am not sure quite where to this. Thanks for any help.
    Kevin
    I live in France and have just aqquired a Livebox from Orange. I have installed An Airport Extreme in my 2004 dual processor G5 with the aim of having a wire free connection.
    I already have an up and running ADSL line. I unplugged the MAC ADSL (high speed) Ethernet modem and took it off the the telephone plugs from the wall sockets (to avoid any interference). I then configured the livebox using a laptop PC with a USB Orange WiFi connection. This worked perfectly.
    With this running, I tried to link in the Mac as a second computer using the specified methodology. However, when I put in the WPA/WEP code, the MAC said that this code format is not accepted. I tried various things over about 2 hours but with no success. I even moved the Livebox-38d1 closer next to the MAC.
    The MAC detected it on the "finder" Airport list (at the top Right hand side of the main screen).
    As far as security codes are concerned I am not sure what the difference is between WPA and WEP, if any. Actually, the automatic security code requested was WEP and NOT WPA Personal as in the documents from Orange.
    I have read the UK Orange site help notes (although some of the links are not working... ).
    Advice and help please.
    Note that all I am trying to do at this point in time is to use Wifi to connect the MAC up as a second computer on the Livebox.
    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
    Kevin GARDINER in Lille

    On the French forum: http://forums.macgeneration.com I found the solution (after reading about thirty contributions). The Sagem Livebox key to be used is WEP hexadecimal and NOT WPA Personal as written in he Orange documenation.
    I hope this may help somebody.
    Until the next time. Kevin

  • Trouble extending a wifi network with 2nd Airport Extreme base station.

    I have added a second Airport Extreme in order to extend a network. I connected it to the network via an ethernet cable into one of the three ethernet ports. I have configured it using these instructions (http://systemsboy.com/2009/02/extending-an-airport-network.html). I get green lights for both units.
    My network works until I update the second unit. As soon as I update the second unit, my entire internet connection goes down. Even computers in the office that are connected via ethernet cannot access the internet. As soon as I unplug the second base station, the internet connection is "live" again. I don't know how to proceed. I think my brain is fried. Any advice would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Based on the information in your post, the article that you referenced will not provide the correct configuration that you need for your network. In summary, the information in the article is for extending wireless network using wireless only. You are connecting your two routers together using ethernet, correct?
    To confirm, your post indicates that +I have added a second Airport Extreme in order to extend a network. I connected it to the network via an ethernet cable into one of the three ethernet ports+
    If this is correct, the Wireless Mode for your "main" router should be set to "Create a wireless network".
    For the second AirPort Extreme, you will use exactly the same setting, "Create a wireless network". The network name, security and password should match the settings of your main network exactly. This is probably confusing to you, but these are the correct settings when you have the second AirPort Extreme connected to the first using an ethernet cable.
    It is critical that the second AirPort Extreme be configured as a "bridge" in order to function correctly on your network. When you are in AirPort Utility - Manual Setup, click the Internet icon at the top of the setup page. Look for the Connection Sharing setting at the bottom of the page. This must be set to "Off (Bridge Mode)". The configuration to "bridge" should be the last step before your click the Update button at the lower right of your screen.
    Post back if you need more information or details.

  • I have a MacBookPro, an iPad and an iMac using a wifi connection with an airport extreme base station. Lately I am having trouble with connection time outs. Right now the laptop and ipad are connected okay but the iMac has timed out and I can't reconnect

    Please help. Just the last week or so (maybe since Apple released a new software update for my Airport, I keep getting kicked off the net and can't reconnect - it doesn't even show my wifi network in the list of available networks. I am considering resetting the airport as detailed in the manual. If I do this will it act as a new one and can I set it up as from the beginning. My Mac is running OSX 10.6.8 and if I try to use the airport setup assistant it tells me i can't use this version of the app with the version of my OS (because I have upgraded my OS ) I assume
    I get a message saying my network requires a WPA password and when I put it in it says connection timeout - meanwhile here I am on my laptop and connecting okay to the net that way - so strange.
    If I connect directly to the computer I have a good connection so it is not my ISP
    I am 64 and a woman and I thought I was reasonably savvy having had Macs since 1992. This has me stumped and I really would like some advice - otherwise I think I'll just go iout andf buy a new airport.
    And just so you know . . . I have a smart TV and it is connecting to the net okay!

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal.

    I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal. The Airport Extreme does not seem to be increasing my Wifi signal strength? Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong? I am able to connect to it, etc. Just thought the strength would be better.

    The broadcast power of all wireless routers and devices is limited by law.....and all manufacturers run their routers full blast.....so the relative signal strength of wireless routers from one manufacturer to another will tend to be remarkably similar.....despite the fancy advertising claims.
    You may want to consider adding another AirPort Extreme to "extend" the signal strength in your home. If you decide to do this, the "extending" Extreme would normally need to be located at a point that is approximately half the distance from your "main" AirPort Extreme and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.

  • Wifi signal from Airport Extreme doesn't reach all areas of my house.  Is there a way to extend it without sacrificing bandwidth?  Airport Extreme version 7.6.1

    The wifi signal from my Airport Extreme doesn't reach all areas of my house.  Is there a way to extend it without sacrificing bandwidth?  I have an Airport Extreme running version 7.6.1.

    You will need to add another device like an AirPort Extreme to provide additional wireless coverage in the house.
    The only way to preserve bandwidth on a network would be to connect the two AirPort Extremes using an Ethernet cable connection.
    While you can "extend" using wireless only, typically half of the bandwidth on the network is sacrificed when you do this.

  • Connect PRS950 to Airport Extreme WiFi

    Hello all,
    Hopefully someone here can assist. PRS-950, 3g works fine when traveling, but I cannot for love or money get it to connect to home WiFi. ISP = Time Warner. Connection chain is cable modem, then Linksys WIRED router, then AirportExtreme 4th gen base station. Windows 7 PC connected to the router, the Airport wirelessly connects MAC OS X 10.6.7, Sony PS3, and Wii. All this works fine.
    When I set up the WiFi on the reader, all settings seem to look fine EXCEPT "ENCRYPTION KEY" -- this is the piece that I am unable to obtain in spite of spending HOURS with Time Warner (they sent me to Linksys), Linksys (referred me to Sony), Sony support sent me back to Apple, who of course wants to charge me just to even answer this simple question. Hours and hours of internet searches, tweaking every password setting I could find on the Airport, and it seems all I need to find out is how to determine the encryption key on the Airport Extreme.
    Has anyone set up a WIFI reader using an Airport Extreme and has any ideas? Thanks in advance.
    Anyone .... pleeeeeeeease.... please
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you for your post.
    Airport Extreme 4th gen base station’s encryption key would be your security code/pass phrase designated during the initial set up of your system. If you have forgotten the code then your option is to contact Apple for support or reset your wireless router (Airport Extreme) to default settings and assign a new password. However, when you reset to factory default settings you will re-configure the wireless router and reconnect all connected devices.

  • Turning off wifi in airport extreme

    Can you turn off the wifi in the new Airport extreme devices?

    Yes, as you can in all AirPort routers.

  • How can I set up an Airport Extreme as a router, in conjunction with my AT&T modem/router?

    I am trying to set up an Airport Extreme as my router, and I am currently using an AT&T modem/router combo. I am wondering what would be the easiest way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the ATT modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme. This cable must remain in place permanently.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac
    Click on Other WiFi Devices
    Click on AirPort Extreme xxxxx
    The utility will take a moment to analyze the connection, then a screen similar to this will appear with your AirPort Extreme instead of an AirPort Express
    Type in a short simple name that you want to use for the wireless network
    Type in a device name for the AirPort Extreme
    Enter a password that will be used for both the AirPort Extreme and wireless network
    Verify the password
    Click Next
    The utility will setup everything for you. When the message of Setup Complete appears, click Done and close AirPort Utility.
    The AirPort Extreme wireless network is now available.

  • How can I strenghten a weak Airport Extreme (2nd Generation) signal?

    I have been having a weak WiFi signal in my Airport Extreme. Even when I am in a room that is less than 30 ft away.
    Here are the details:
    AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd generation)
         Version: 7.6.1
         Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
         Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
         Channel: 6
         Connect Using: Ethernet
    My Airport Extreme is on the second floor of the house and is connected to a D-Link DIR 825 router that is on the first floor.
    Sometimes when I am on the second floor, I get a better signal from the D-Link router than from the Airpot Extreme.
    How can I strenghten the signal?
    Thanks in advance

    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme

The 4th Generation version was introduced in October 2009.

  • Constant Activity between Airport Extreme and modem

    Hello all,
    I am the recent owner of an Airport Extreme. My Aiport Extreme is connected to my VDSL modem through the WAN port.
    In the Options menu, I set the option "Status Light" to "Flash on Activity".
    Doing so, I discovered that there is always activity between :
    1) the Airport Extreme           => I can see the green led flashing every 4-5 seconds
    2) the VDSL modem          => I can see the network led of the modem flashing every 4-5 seconds in sync with the Airport Extreme
    Initially, I thought it was "real traffic" coming either from wireless devices or ethernet devices... But after unplugging the ethernet cables (for the devices connected via cables) and after disabling the Wifi network of the Airport Extreme, the leds of both Airport Extreme and the modem were still flashing in sync every 4-5 seconds... Then, I also unchecked the "Set time automatically", and still, both leds were still flashing in sync at the same interval !
    I am a bit lost !
    I am wondering what there is traffic/activity happening every 4-5 seconds when no device (either via Ethernet or wifi) is connected.
    Do you also face the same issue ? Do you know the reason of the almost permanent activity between the Airport Extreme and my VDSL modem ?
    Thank you very much for your replies !
    Regards,
    trabala38

    Hello Bob Timmons,
    Thanks for your insight in this.
    Well, actually, to be logical, this traffic between the WAN port of the Airport Extreme and my modem could be coming from
    1) garbage/requests on the VDSL line from my ISP
    2) requests from the Airport Extreme to my modem
    If it is number 2, do you think that the Airport Extreme could query the modem every 4-5 seconds, i.e. to check that the Internet connection is alive ?
    Thanks for your feedback,
    Regards,
