What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2 modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

I am having problems setting up airport extreme.
What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2+ modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

Ok well I have looked around some more and have found this to be the most up to date official response to my question as seen at this link here:
http://www.actiontec.com/support/product_details.php?pid=41#q27
Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR router that Verizon provided, when I signed up for FiOS service?
The MI424WR does not have a bridging option, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
The desire to bridge the MI424WR is based on a misunderstanding that it is a modem as well as a router. Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that have a Transparent-Bridging option, which bypasses or disables the router function and allows the Gateway to act simply as a DSL modem, when it is enabled. Many consumers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it was bridged or bypassed, it would be a device without a function. For most Verizon FiOS customers their service would completely stop if the MI424WR was bridged, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on it to work.
If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax, the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. But if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet, then in most cases some other router can be substituted for the MI424WR, and it can be removed."
So it looks like I will be calling Verizon support to see about getting the Ethernet connection installed and getting another modem...

I have my Time Machine on an external drive (not connected to Airport Extreme) and I have an external HD attached to airport extreme. Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme. How?

Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme.
Sorry, but no.
Time Machine will backup your Mac, but not the hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme.
Time Machine will back up a hard drive only if it is attached directly to your Mac via USB or FireWire.

How to Port Forward on AEBS

I have just bought a Humax PVR and Humax W-Lan dongle to connect to my Airport Extreme. I have put the mac address into the AE. The installation screen is picking up my network name no problem but it won't connect to the internet. Can anyone help please?

I have just bought a Humax 7500T PVR and a Humax W-Lan dongle to connect to my Airport Extreme.
I have put the mac address into the AE. The installation screen on my TV is picking up the network name but once appied it won't connect to the internet.
I've a few other things connected to the AE such as computers, ipad, itouch, etc, and have never had a problem connecting these once I've entered the mac address into the AE. Can anyone help me with this please?

have you made sure that the network setting in the system preferences is set up to use dhcp? if not i would try changing it so that it shows that it is getting its address by dhcp

Have airport extreme, square model, have a external harddrive to use as back up(formated for mac)hooked it up to the usb port in back. can't find it on my computer. what am i doing wrong

have the airport extreme, square model. have a external harddrive formated for mac hooked up to the usb port in back.
i can't find the harddrive on the computer for back up in timemachine. what am i doing wrong?

First, if you are not aware, you need to know that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
That may be part of the problem here, so if you want to continue to try this, you need to understand that there are no guarantees of success.
Some users do seem to be able to make this work, but most have some problems and some....like me....have nothing but problems when they try this.
If you want to continue to try this, the first thing to verify is that the drive is formatted specifically in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Have you verified that the drive is formatted correctly by connecting it directly to your Mac and using Disk Utility to check?
Some drives that are advertised as being "compatible for Mac" are not formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Time Machine has no chance of success unless the drive is first formatted correctly.
I would also ask that you consider leaving the drive connected to your Mac for Time Machine backups. That will be supported, and is a far more reliable way to keep backups if your data is important to you.
Next, we need to know what operating system you are running on your Mac. If you do not know, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

How do I figure out which airport extreme I have?

It's an airport extreme -- bought it 9 months ago -- through out the box. Is it 802.11 N or G
Does it have gigabyte technology?
thanks.

Which Airport Extreme Card for 1.25Ghz 17"

I am trying to purchase an Airport Extreme card for my 1.25Ghz iMac G4 17", but I seem to be finding a lot of iBook and other random Extreme cards, so I am lost which one is compatible with mine.
I found this one that also is combined with a Bluetooth card. I would love if this is the right one or if it will even work because i hate having to use the corded mighty mouse with it.

Any info would really help me out. Thanks!

This is the profile page for your iMac at EveryMac.com
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac1.25_17fp.html
That linked product looks like this one, which is described more accurately below, and is not for an iMac G4
http://www.megamacs.com/item/Apple-AirPort-Extreme-and-Bluetooth-Combo-Card,-Par t--A1126/view,4073062/criteria,airport%20extreme/
This is the correct AirPort Extreme card for your iMac G4 model
http://www.megamacs.com/item/Airport-Extreme-Card/view,3471750/criteria,airport% 20extreme/
It does not include Bluetooth. The best way to add Bluetooth, if that is important, is with a USB Bluetooth adapter. This is the one that Apple officially approves for use with Macs that do not have built-in Bluetooth.
http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DBT-120-Wireless-Bluetooth-Adapter/dp/B00006B7DB
Since that G4 iMac has USB 2.0, you may want to consider a USB wireless adapter as well, instead of the AirPort Extreme card. Here is one, sold by OWC (a Mac-oriented vendor).
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP802NU2C/
It (probably) costs less, and it uses the faster 802.11.n standard (compared to 802.11g used by the AirPort Extreme card). You will have to install driver software, but that is provided with this adapter and it supports Panther (10.3.9) or later. And you don't have to open up the iMac to install it. If you get a different brand, make sure Mac OS X drivers are available for that product.
The advantage of the AirPort Extreme card is that (once installed internally) nothing appears connected on the outside, and no additional driver is needed.

Airport Extreme appears to have memory leak; sluggish after long uptime

For a long time now, I have been frustrated by what appears to be a memory leak in the Airport Extreme firmware. After the unit has been running for a few weeks (and this varies from one week to one month approximately), the WLAN to LAN routing performance will drop drastically. It will go from ping times (from a WLAN host to a LAN host) of 1 mS or less to ping times in excess of one second.
In this broken state, all traffic through the unit is dog slow. Doesn't matter what the traffic is-- if it's to and from the wireless LAN, it's going to take forever.
If I power cycle the Airport Extreme, the problem will go away for another few weeks. I have dealt with this issue for several years with the hope that eventually a firmware upgrade would come that fixed it. So far, no such fix.
Is anyone else experiencing this sort of behavior? When it isn't sluggish, the unit works wonderfully with Mac, Windows and Linux wireless clients so I have no reason to blame anything but the Extreme... particularly since the bandaid is a power cycle of it.
All of my clients are 802.11b/g, no 'n' in service here.

Boot into safe mode (restart holding down SHIFT key). If no KP, then uninstall and reinstall those 3rd-party items that Roger pointed out, one at a time, and restart. Continue until you determine which ones are causing the problem. If KP while in safe mode, then most likely hardware related. Run the Apple Hardware Test suite, extended tests at least twice, followed by Rember. See

Airport Extreme does not have a valid IP address

My Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11N (AEBS) no longer has an internet connection and I cannot share internet or even access the internet via an ethernet cable from the AEBS to my iMac unless in Bridge mode. I have a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core iMac running OS X 10.5.6. I also have an Airport Express (802.11b/g) currently offline.
When I plug my ethernet cable directly into the iMac I've got a fast and reliable internet connection. I have also done 2 hard resets on my AEBS without any success. I have ensured that my cables are properly plugged in and had it checked by another person.
I do not have a specific IP address from my Internet Service Provider (ISP). I have contacted my ISP and have confirmed that there is nothing wrong on their end. I had an internet connection previously with "Using DHCP". Now when I select it blanks out the IP address box. I referred to my last working saved Airport setting and my AEBS still does not have an internet connection.
I'm not sure what else I can do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I'm having a similar problem. Saturday morning my Comcast Internet was gone. I went through all the steps to troubleshoot (powering everything down, checking connections, powering back up from outside, connecting directly to the cable modem via Ethernet, etc.). I only got a valid IP address for a brief few minutes when directly connected. Comcast swapped out my modem, but same issue. Then Sunday they said known problem in area. This morning I got on the line with a level 2 tech. We went through just about everything again, and I can connect very reliably via direct Ethernet connect to modem. If I unplug the ethernet and give it a minute to recognize its gone, ip address goes blank. When I plug it back in, it gets a valid IP address and Internet connects almost instantaneously.
However, with my AEBS (n) I can't get a valid IP address. I use the exact same Ethernet cable from the cable modem the AEBS Internet WAN port. But it gives itself a self-assigned IP of 169.254... I've gone through the cycles of powering down and back up a couple of times, checked my connections several times, and reset my AEBS to factory defaults. Still no dice. Internet is set to DHCP and to share a public IP address (in the default 10.0.1.x ranges). Has my AEBS effectively lost its ability to get a valid IP from the modem? Is it dead? Anything you can think of that I can try?

How do I get my macmini running Mountain Lion to see my Canon USB printer connected to my Airport Extreme? I have a macbook pro running leopard and that works fine. The versions of airport utility are different and I can't even see the printer from new 1

I am having trouble seeing my usb printer from my second gen airport extreme using the newest version of airport utility under Mountain Lion. UGH! And while I can see and network to my Canon IP5000 from my macbook pro running leopard, I can't from my new macmini running Mountain Lion. Any help would be appreciated in configuring my macmini so it can see the Canon IP5000 on the airport extreme. Don't want to "share" the printer from the laptop because that would be a cludge. Thanks ahead

I solved this one based on another post. Turned out I needed the snow leopard IP5000 driver. I had just copied over the leopard driver (I had saved my .dmg file) and installed that but it didn't work. So I downloaded the latest driver which turned out to be for snow leopard and I am guessing since it is 64bit that is why it worked and the leopard driver didn't. Anyway, I also had to hook the printer up via usb to the mac mini to get it to work locally before the O/S would see it over Bonjour via the airport extreme.

Selecting Airport Extreme crashes Finder, have to connect to it as a server

I just started getting this out of nowhere.
I have not installed anything new, or moved or reconfigured any hardware recently.
I have to open Finder and connect to my Airport Extreme as a server.
If I try to select it from the Finder under 'Shared' in the sidebar, Finder crashes.
Every. Single. Time.
One thing I just noticed is that my I used to have to click [Drive name] [Root folder with same name as drive folder] -> Folders.
That 2nd step is gone now. It's just [Drive name] -> Folders.
I have a feeling a manually deleting my Time Machine sparse bundle or something borked this. Any ideas?

What the actual.
I rebooted. Everything is fine now. Back to the way it was.

I have an airport express and I want to change for airport extreme ; do i have something to do?

i want to change airport express for an airport extreme. Do I have something to do ?

You mean, besides purchase one and set it up? No, but changing your router is like a heart transplant for your network. For example, if you have network printers and they are working normally, you may just need to configure them again.
Be sure to power down your cable or DSL modem before connecting your new Extreme. AirPort Utility should configure it more or less automatically.
If you want to repurpose your Express to "extend" the network created by the Extreme or use it in some other way, Apple recommends performing a "hard reset" first and then reconfiguring it anew.

Which AirPort extreme card for G5?

I want to add an Airport extreme card to my Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5. I purchased it May 2005. A bit confusing is, can I? and which one?
The Apple system requirements says :
System Requirements:
The AirPort Extreme Card can be installed only in computers that are AirPort Extreme ready. AirPort Extreme Cards cannot be used in AirPort-ready computers with an AirPort Card slot.
Requires Mac OS X 10.2.7 or later and AirPort Admin Utility software version 3.1.1 or later to administer an AirPort Extreme Base Station.
Wireless printing over USB requires Mac OS X v10.2.7 or later.
This AirPort Extreme Card is not compatible with Power Mac G5 Dual and Power Mac G5 Quad computers introduced in October 2005. To add an AirPort Extreme card to one of these systems, please contact an Apple Retail Store or other Authorized Apple Service Provider.
Thanks.

Your Power Mac G5 requires the AirPort Extreme card.
