Westell c90-610015-06 modem & airport exteme: not working--ideas?

My Westell modem works fine, including when I hooked up a hard-wired router(Asante). I replaced the router and bought an Airport Extreme to handle wireless. Airport's status light is flashing yellow because it's confused. Is my dsl modem (provided by Verizon) not compatible w/Airport? Ideas for troubleshooting? (cables are correct; green lights for dsl/ethernet cables on Airport OK)
t.i.a.

You might be DHCP in your area for DSL and now you are MAC bound. You can try and clone the MAC address of the first router or leave it unplugged over night and plug it in when you get up in the morning, that should release the lease.

  • Airport Express not working with Comcast

    I used to have AT&T and had my airport working well. Yesterday i changed to Comcast and my airport is not working the light stays yellow.. I tried resetting it but it didn't work.. I use it with my old Cisco router and its working. Whats wrong with my Airport Express? My computers are Windows 7

    A solid amber light indicates that the AirPort Express has locked up....or it is defective.
    Suggest you that try a Factory Default Reset as follows:
    Pull the Express from power
    Let it rest for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it for another 8-10 seconds while you plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 40-45 seconds to restart
    The Express should display a slow, blinking amber light at this time
    If you continue to see a solid amber light after a few tries with a Factory Default Reset, the Express has failed and it will need to be replaced.

    After an update my airport is not working. It won't turn on no matter how many times I press the turn on Wi Fi button. Do I need to redownload a driver, and how?

  • Airport express not working since today's itunes update

    Since updating iTunes today, Airport Express not working. More specifically, the Airport software will recognise the device exists, but iTunes cannot connect to it, just getting error message.

    try this:
    go system preferences > network > airport > advanced > TCP/IP and set *configure IPv6* to off. click on apply.
    now have iTunes connect to the remote speaker again.

  • New Airport Extreme not working with my Quad Macpro

    Hi all-
    My Linksys 902.11b router finally died and our household is now completely Mac-based (all with Airport Extreme cards), so I decided to take the plunge and get an Airport Extreme.
    2 of the machines on my home's network are doing fine with the router and are getting good speeds - iMac Dual 2.4 (10.5.1) - Both the wired and wireless connections are solid with this machine / Macbook Dual 2.0 (10.5.1) - Both the wired and wireless connections are solid with this machine as well.
    I have a Macpro Quad 2.66 machine running 10.4.11. I cannot upgrade to 10.5 yet on this machine since it's being used in my recording studio business and there are known issues with some of my apps and 10.5 at the moment.
    The Quad can see the network and has seemingly strong signal from the Airport Extreme BS, but DHCP reception is inconsistent (the machine often eds up using a self-assigned IP for some reason) and IP connectivity in general is inconsistent, even when an appropriate static LAN IP is manually setup. I can often get to a few webpages while using a manually config'd IP, but only with very slow DL speeds and then the connection quickly disappears and drops out entirely.
    The AExtreme is setup like this: DSL Modem-->Airport Extreme (config'd with a static IP from my ISP) -->DHCP broadcast dummy IP's to my network. Currently I've not setup any security since I'm in the process of troubleshooting and I don't want to further complicate the situation. Radio-mode on the AExtreme is set to 802.11n (b/g compatible)/Channel 1. I've tried numerous config setups on the AExtreme, but none have helped the situation.
    I've also disabled IPv6 on all clients per some reading on the forums of possible issues.
    Anyone know what the problem might be? Is it perhaps an issue because the Macpro's using 10.4.11?
    FYI, I've also also got an extra Airport Express around that's not being used that could be used as a repeater/wired connection downstairs if broadcast strength is the issue, which seems somewhat unlikely to me. I'm not sure how to config the AExpress to work in this capacity though, so if anyone could point me to a tutorial I'd appreciate it very much.
    Thanks in advance.
    Lee

    I just did some more testing using an app mentioned here on the forums, iStumbler. The app offered these details:
    - Signal Strength is between 45%-56%
    - Noise is between 24%-41%
    - Freq = 2412
    - No websites load despite it's seeing the router and saying we've joined it.
    I also did a screen capture of the iStumbler's screen in case that's helpful. There were several bits of info I wasn't sure about.
    Here's the screen grab: http://www.pbase.com/infiniteposse/image/91793322/original

  • Airport Just Not Working

    I was able to download the Airport Utility and set up my Airport on my Windows Laptop. The utility says everything is fine but the airport itself is flashing amber. The wireless internet is not working and I have tried resetting the Airport but no luck. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks

    Have you tried to reset the base?
    Just get a paper clip and find the area in the back to reset the base
    just insert the paper clip until the amber light flashes twice as fast as before and hold it there for about 5 seconds. Also try reseting your modem as well.
    This cleared up my problems yesterday .

  • AirportExtreme as wireless router through DSL modem on PC - not working.

    Hello all. I've searched through several forums trying to find something could answer my question, but nothing came of it. Hopefully you can help,
    Our family has just recently purchased 2 new macbooks (love 'em!) and have been able to join our wirless network (linksys wireless-g 2.4ghz). A few days ago, we purchased the AEBS to replace the Linksys, however, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it work. The PC run windows XPSP2, using a basic DSL modem. I've tried various methods of connecting the AEBS to my computer/modem.
    now, I read through the instructions to see that my PC must have a wireless card?
    Am I correct in assuming that the DSL modem and the AEBS work together to put out a wireless signal, and from that, my PC uses this wireless card to connect to that?
    I've tried doing a direct connection with my DSL modem and AEBS, where nothing is actually plugged into the computer. I use a USB wireless donlge thingy and it connects to the network hunky dory. However...no internet. The setup utility for the AEBS does everything all shiny but I am still not able to connect through my PC, or my macbooks. the MB's see the network, but no actual internet.
    Is there a way to directly connec the AEBS to my computer and modem without a wireless card for my PC?
    Thank you SO much everyones time!
    A mac newbie and wireless newbie,
    Ogo

    In that case I would configure your network as follows.
    DSL Modem -> WAN port of Airport Extreme Base Station
    LAN Port of Airport Extreme Base Station -> Windows PC
    The two MacBook Pros would join the network wirelessly.
    Connecting a XP PC to a Airport Network via the LAN port of the AEBS

  • Airport express not working with apple products

    We have been trying to get airport express to work with a macbook pro, ipad2, iphone, laptop, htc wildfire - havent even tried the air music or printer yet! 
    We have a green light on the airport express which is connected to an ntl cable modem(virgin media network).
    Currently the only thing that will connecy is the laptop and my htc phone.  All the apple products will not connect? 
    We went to the apple store today and it worked grand when it was plugged in - the apple products all worked.
    The network comes up on ipad2 but when you press connect it says 'unable to connect'
    can anyone help us please?
    thank you

    I have the same issue.  Mine fixed itself for a bit and now it's broken again.  I'm thinking it's going to be intermittently broken.  I've tried turning both devices off and on again but that did not help.

  • Airport Express not working with wireless router

    I just bought Airport Express to play music on my stereo. My PC running XP is connected to my wireless router (TeleWell TW-EA510v3) with ethernet cable and airport express wirelessly. Problem is that Airport Utility (and iTunes) can't find AE if it's not connected to router with ethernet cable.
    I can connect to AE from Aiport Utility by "configure other" option so it's connected to my wireless network correctly.
    Is this kind of set up even possible (pc wired to router and AE wireless)? I have tried tried WEP, WPA/WPA2 and no encryption on my wireless network and AE connects ok every time but Airport Utility still can't find it. I even tried to make a WDS network but AE was not compatible with my router. Now I can't come up with anything else to try.
    Is there anything else to do? Should I buy WLAN adabter to my PC and would AE work then?
    Why can't Apple make Airport Utility to recognise AE with given IP like with "configure other" option? Should not be too hard to program?!

    Follow the isntruction lisetd below...they work.
    Actually, the ae is a slick device, once you get it to work.
    Make sure that one (or both) checkboxes in Airport Utility > Airport Express tab
    (middle of page) are not checked...if one or both are checked, they limit (hide) wireless connectivity options (e.g., WEP-64) to choose from.
    P.S. You must have patience: it may take a couple of minutes to establish the connection and turn the led to solid green. So, give it a chance.
    ===============================================================================
    OMG!!! You are da man!!!
    I have this streaming perfectly now!! Here is what I did for others to see and use (it does work perfectly)
    Step 1) Clear/Reset the Airport Express
    Step 2) Connect the Airport Express directly to the Router/Modem via Ethernet to set up Wireless
    Step 3) Do it via the Manual Set-up Effort Listed Below following:
    AirPort > Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
    o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing Linksys wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network> I have 64bit WEP
    (Same as 40bit on the drop down menu)
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
    Once it congratulates you, unplug the ethernet cable
    Verify in Aitport Utility that it still recognizes (if not, repeat the above). Note this may take a few minutes, so be patient.
    Now place the airport express with your stereo (or whatever) and again be patient as it tries to find the network
    (mine took 4 minutes) then it turns green and you are off listening to music on your stereo downstairs in another room.
    Frustrating when it does not work at first, but keep trying and it will work!!
    Thanks everyone for your help!!

  • Airport express not working with optus network

    Hi there, the airport express seems not working with my optus network. It is keeping me I cannot access the internet but I do have a wifi signal. Initially I thought there was some problems with Enhernet Wan port on the AE, but after I've done some research I found there might some changes needed to be done with my old router. All I know is im using a NETGEAR router, network type is PPPOE. Also, there were people metioned on the forum that theold modern should be changed to brigdeging mode. I have no idea what is it. Please help. cheers.

    Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition.  Then connect the Airport to AC power and finally to the Internet modem (or modem/router).  Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.
    Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands.  BE PATIENT!

  • Brand new Airport Express not working

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I just bought my first Apple (mac book) and got the airport express. Hooked it up, set up my network, etc., and everything was working fine for the first 24 hours. Now, the Airport Express is not working. It is flashing the amber light which seems to indicate no internet connection....when I plug the ethernet wire directly to my laptop from the modem, the internet works. AND, the airport express seems to be working with the laptop (because I see my wireless network name in the menu of networks). Problem is, I can't get on the internet wirelessly anymore....so it seems the airport express is not getting the signal from the modem...but again, the modem is working fine when connected to the computer directly. I tried to reset the airport express and then go through the set up again, to no avail...still that flashing amber light. UGH.
    Thanks!

    You're very welcome! The key is that DSL/Cable modems tend to "remember" the devices connected to them. The rationale of doing the power recycle is to give the modem an opportunity to "recognize" the newly connected device. Most of the time this re-recognition phase takes just a few minutes, but it's not unusual for it to take hours, and thus, why I recommend overnight to rule out any other issues.

  • AirPort extreme NOT working, dropping signal and SLOW!

    My macBook is having serious problems connecting to the internet and retrieving mail. My service is real slow and sometimes not even showing up as my wireless network. I have a cable modem, a Linksys router and Airport Extreme base station. I have turned ALL of these devices off and restarted them but still no luck. Any idea what do do next? Not sure if it is the MacBook not working or if it is the Base Station.
    Thanks!

    I'd focus on you using two routers. They must be set up properly to work together. I use three Apple routers in my network and it is fast and reliable. I used to have a Linksys 54G tossed in there but tossed it to the garbage.

  • Airport does not work after upgrade to windows vista SP1

    Hi,
    I have a MBP running windows vista 32 bit under bootcamp. For some of my professional software, I need windows. Up to now, everything runs OK.I've upgrade to bootcamp 2.1 and everything still runs just fine. However, I wanted to install SP1 because it fixes some of Vista's (many) flaws. After installing SP1 (it downloads automatically), e.g. airport does not function anymore - it just does not see the wireless anymore (it looks like on my MBP it does no longer find the drivers for e.g. the wireless card). Uninstalling SP1 fixes the problem but brings me back to square 1. Any solutions? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Please reinstall the following package:

  • AirPort card not working ... mostly

    This is one that has me a bit stumped. I have a G3 iBook with the original airport card installed. Yesterday, it stopped recognizing any wireless networks in the local area (I have one graphite ABS and one AirPort Express, plus there are one or two other wireless network around here I can normally at least see). My other portable (PowerBook G4 12") sees all these networks fine. I re-seated the card in the iBook, to no avail. I assumed it had conked out and started researching replacement cards (quite spendy, as you probably know).
    Just today, my iBook started recognizing wireless nets again ... briefly. For about five or ten minutes, I saw a few networks and actually was able to access the WAN. After then, though, it's back to not working at all. Has this happened to anyone? Was it the last, final gasp of my venerable airport card? Or if this has happened to you, did you find that it was another problem entirely?
    Thanks for any help.

    Appelfan,
    I had gotten frustrated with the random behavior and posted a question about the possibility of an USB dongle wireless solution for the Mac. Duane answered me and gave me a very helpful suggestion - that I consider Ethernet Wireless Adapters, and even mentioned a couple of brands - just in case you may consider that route. I have copied his responses to me, below:
    Thank you,

    Re: Is there a USB Wireless Dongle or card for a Mac?
    Posted: Mar 24, 2006 5:33 PM in response to: Gino La Pointe
    An alternative to USB wireless adapters is Ethernet wireless adapters. Those require no drivers and therefore will work with any Ethernet device regardless of OS.

    Examples of Ethernet wireless adapters are the Linksys WET11 and Linksys WET54G. There are many more.
