Why am I having a problem networking with Air port Extreme?

My husband and I are networked using airport extreme. I recently (Dec) got my Macbook Pro and he took my Titanium G4 power book.
Since the change, his computer never gets to a full signal level.
Needless to say, this is very discouraging. What can I do?
Do you think that I should remove Airport from his computer and re-install it? Would that help?
Should I upgrade Airport to 802.11n?
Any ideas??

Thank you, i get it now, and i may be having issues on the other end, as well.
when i try to answer on one device the others keep ringing and i dont connect at all.

  • Mac Power PC G5 with Air Port Extreme

    Hello,
    At home I have installed, since many years, a Wi-Fi network using an Air Port Extreme Base station. This works fine with different computers. Now I have “recovered” an older Mac from my office, which works with a dual PowerPC G5 and OS 10.5.8. It seems that this machine is not able to work with a wireless network (no Air Port antenna). I would really appreciate to connect this machine to the Internet. Obviously one possibility is to draw several meters of Ethernet cable through the apartment … *Here is my question: is it possible to use Air Port Express for connecting my Mac with PowerPC G5 to my normal Wi-Fi network (and to Internet)? In other words: the PowerPC G5 is connected to the Air Port Express via a short Ethernet cable and has then access to my Wi-Fi network?* Thanks in advance and all the best for the New Year.

    I have the same problem - but no solution either yet. Still looking.
    Apple airport extreme firmware 7.5
    Vista x64 will connect to access point and receive IP address from server, but will not connect to the internet unless WPA2-AES security is disabled.
    I get no response when pinging the gateway (10.0.1.1)
    My XP machine will connect - no issues.
    The vista laptop will connect to a friend's timecapsule firmware 7.4.2.... puzzling.
    I hope someone has an clue to figure this out.

  • Time capsule 1st generation - extension with air port extreme

    My parents use a time capsule (1st generation) as wireless lan device. As they run a boarding house they wish to provide free internet access to all of their guests (in all rooms). Therefore I bought an air port extreme station to extend the network as this product now (finally) includes the option »guest network«.
    The question is the following: *Should I keep the time capsule as basic device connected to the modem and use the air port extreme as extension or do you recommend to set it up vice versa?*
    I checked the range of the time capsule: It can be used in already in the first floor but not in the second anymore.
    I am really unsure how I should approach this topic and I hope more expirienced users can provide some help to this issue. Maybe you can also give me some security advice. In order to protect kids from misusing this new possiblity I was thinking of using opendns to block certain websites. Maybe there are also betters ways of doing this?

    Need a bit more info.
    Now this is what happens when I plug it in:
    Plug it into power?? The main router?? Sorry I am unclear what you are plugging it into.
    It sounds like you have not done the setup.
    The TC should be in bridge and plugged into the current modem router you have.. and powered on full time.
    If you cannot access it via the utility, I strongly suggest you buy the apple usb to ethernet dongle.. which helps air people no end.. or use any other computer that has a real ethernet port.
    Otherwise set to factory and start over. (this will not do anything to what you already have on the disk).
    Hold in reset and power on the TC.. wait about 10sec until the front led rapidly flashes. .then you can connect the computer.. and do the setup.. choose bridge in the Network section of the utility and update the TC.
    Then you can plug it into the main router and access it and internet at the same time.. either by TC wireless or the main modem wireless.
    Please note. .Gen1 TC is only going to last very little time.. it is already well past the average lifespan.. many died at 2years.. most gone by 4years.. plan on storing nothing important on it.

  • Can't connect to X-Box live with Air Port Extreme

    I just can't figure out how to connect my X-Box (original/first X-Box) to X-Box Live using my Airport Extreme. I am using an X-Box wireless modem. X-Box live phone help told me I needed to contact Apple and have them "Open three NAT Ports: 1. UDP 88, 2. UDP 3074, and 3. TCP 3074. Then to enable UPNP." WHAT?? Since I do not have Apple Care, they are unwilling to help me. I have tried manually entering the IP address and Subnet into my X-Box, but then the X-Box tells me there is no "Gateway" something or other. And I can't seem to find the "Gateway" on my Mac in Airport settings. Can anyone help?
    -Thanks!

    Acces setup page of router .....
    Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub
    tab "Port range forwarding"
    1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box
    type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip
    address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box.

    type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip

    3) Now save the settings
    4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration"
    and disable the UPNP and save the settings.
    5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox
       ip address :- 192.168.1.20
       subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0
       default gateway :- 192.168.1.1
    Please assign the dns address on the xbox
      primary dns :- 4.2.2.2
      secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
    6) Please try to test your xbox live.

  • Can I use the Ethernet Port for a computer when it is also used as a wireless network with an Airport Extreme as the access point for the wireless network

    Can I use the Ethernet Port  of the A1264 Airport Express to connect to the Ethernet port of a computer that does not have wireless capability when the Airport Express is also used on a wireless network with an Airport Extreme 5th generation as the access point for the network?
    I have AE 5th gen
    looking to buy (from ebay) the AEX A1264
    Various computers, printers and hubs for the network
    Is this possible to do?

    Bob, Thanks for the info. I have read different articles that said yes, but I wanted to make sure before I commit to buy. I have an older A1084 which I could not use the Ethernet port. I know at one point I was able to when I was on 10.4. Now that I am on an Intel processor and 10.8 I am going to have to upgrade some of my Apple wireless hardware.
    Thanks Again.
