Why does my new Airport Extreme accept the old password for a guest user?

I have a new N/AC Airport Extreme Time Capsule that a friend can access only by using the password for an older "G" Airport base station from a previous visit. She can't get onto my current network using the correct/current passwrod. Anybody have any ideas why this is happening? Thanks!

Ideally, yes. The closer each device is to the router the stronger the signal will be. Obviously, this is not usually possible. The free air range of an AEBS is a radius of about 150 feet. That should be adequate for a 1400 SF house.
If you find you are not able to get a strong enough signal at the farthest point from the router then consider adding an Airport Express near the middle of the house to extend the signal.

Hello farahani hairon nizar,
If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

I have a new Airport Extreme and an old airport express. I am getting an amber light on the new Extreme and a green light on the Express. I have internet no problem but the status light is blinking amber

I have a new Airport Extreme and and old airport express. I am getting an amber status light on the Extreme and a green light on the Express. The Extreme is blinking amber all the time.
I have internet and everything seems to be working.
I have reset and pulled the power cord on both the extreme and the internet block
How do I make it Green?

If things seem to be working OK, but the amber light is flashing......the AirPort Extreme has a message for you. To see what that might be......
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
Click on the amber dot in the small window
It might be a message that a firmware update is available for your AirPort Extreme.

I have an 2tb time capsule 802.11n Wi-Fi base station can I use this as an external hard drive and use a new airport extreme 802.11ac Wi-Fi for my wifi?

You can use the 2 TB Time Capsule as a network drive. That means that it must connect to one of the Ethernet LAN <--> ports on the new AirPort Extreme, or connect to the network using wireless.

What is the difference between the 2011 airport extreme and the old version

This should mean a fairly significant increase in range with the new model. I would imagine these changes would be consistent with the Time Capsule as well.

When you restore your iPhone, it will erase everything from your iPhone including the passcode. You can restore a backup from iTunes or iCloud to get your infromation back though. This article may help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

Why does a "linked" AirPort Extreme suddenly report problems?

I am stumped. I have a home network consisting of a new dual-band AirPort Extreme (which works flawlessly), an AirPort Express (which only rarely has problems) and an older "n" AirPort Extreme, which has recently begun to report problems on a daily basis. This is how it happens: I will be online with my MacBook (and I should add that no one else is online) and suddenly AirPort Utility will launch with the following message:
AirPort Utility found an AirPort Extreme with 802.11n (Fast Ethernet) that is reporting problems.
(Please note that this is NOT the AirPort Extreme I am connected to; I am connected to the 5 GHz band on the new AirPort Extreme.) When I attempt to resolve the problem by clicking Continue, or click on Manual Setup, I get the following message:
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 only way I can get the problematic AirPort Extreme to work is to do a hard reset and manually re-enter all settings. It then connects to the network perfectly -- until the same problem pops up the next day. What gives?

Is it possible one of your Airports isn't configured as a bridge, and is creating an IP address conflict?
You've "hard reset" the Extreme, but perhaps it's your other Extreme or the Express that's started to misbehave, leading you to think the problem is elsewhere. Have you reset them?
I'm reaching here; these are just two things that come to mind quickly.

Why is my new Airport Extreme loading sites slower than my old Airport Express

I replaced my 2007 Airport Express with the newest model Airport Extreme yesterday. Speed tests show that my download speeds are 60% higher with the new Extreme. However, when I load sites in Safari, Chrome or Firefox, they are much slower to load (e.g. 16 seconds to load Netflix) than before. Your help would be appreciated.

These can be difficult issues to sort out..
You need to LAN speed test.. ie copy a file from one computer to another on the network.. the second computer should be plugged in by ethernet so it is not going to cause slower speeds.
Then do the speednet test.. also just by ethernet and compare with wireless..
Once you have speed testing.. LAN side and WAN side we can perhaps help you to sort the issue.
We will need as much network info as possible.

My Atv2 is very slow movies and shows take forever to load it plays for a few minutes then pauses again. I thought if was a problem with my wireless router but I replaced it with a new airport extreme and the problem persists. Air play is just as slow.

My Atv2 is very slow with both AirPlay and rented and purchased content I spoke to apple rep and tried the things he suggested but the problem persists. Now it requires more lead time then the lenght of material being viewed. I haves broadband internet connection and airport extreme router so I don't think this should be a problem. Lately every time the unit goes to the screen saver an error message come up saying there was an error while loading content please try again later and you have to all over again. It is extremely frustrating. Any suggestions? What speed of transfer should I expect using AirPlay ?

I'm having the same issue. Ay fixes? Bought ATV today, music streams but videos don't and mirroring doesn't work either. Start mirror and severe lag then just drops. Been trying for couple hours. About ready to return it.

How do I restrict wireless network access to specific devices/computers, using an Airport Extreme, when the WPA2 password is able to be found by other devices?

I have set up a wireless network in my office using a couple of Airport Extremes, and, for some reason, our Windows computers are able to view the password of the network. Well, given that we employ teenagers, you can imagine what happens when they all find out the password. We want to restrict network access to only those devices we deem necessary. How do I accomplish this?

We need 18-20 devices to access, all wirelessly.
You can keep using your Apple routers as AP devices.. but get a router running a secure OS as the actual router that controls the network..
If you have 18-20 teens on the network.. then setting quota and restrictions on bandwidth is far more important than time..
Gargoyle on a cheap router can do it.. eg WNDR3800 or the newer W1024ND v2.
Simply turn off the wireless in these devices.. and use the ethernet connection to the airport as WAP.
Honestly you just will never get the security or control using apple domestic routers.

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.

New Airport Extreme to replace old one

Bought new Airport/Time Capsule to replace my old Airport Extreme. Can I somehow just move/upgrade profile so as not to write again all the mac addresses of my peripherals/computers/ipads/ipod/etc? Should I connect them both first and then choose which one to run existing home network? Thanks for help.

Thanks to this thread, I was able to replicate the suggested steps to replace an old 2nd generation AEBS with a new 2TB Time Capsule while also retaining my prior configuration settings. I am in a Windows 7 environment. The process did not go 100% smoothly, but wound up being fine. My experience may help others hoping to transfer their current AEBS settings to an upgraded Airport.
Based on the advice in other threads, with my current (old) AEBS up and running, I first connected by current AEBS to my new Time Capsule via an ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports. I then powered up the new Time Capsule and launched windows networking center and my Airport Utility.
The new Time Capsule was quickly found and I proceeded to follow the menu steps where I was presented with the convenient option to replace my current network. I did this, and it all seemed to work fine, but I did not see any messages instructing me to swap the connecting cables to the new Time Capsule...
...My newly configured Time Capsule the disappeared from my Airport Utility and a message said it could not be found. I panicked a little here, and did a reset, and rebooted my PC, and then started the process all over again. This time, after configuring the new Time Capsule, and the same disappearance in Airport Utility, I went to the Windows Networking center and found the TC, launched it, and Airport Utility gave me a message saying the new TC needed to be plugged into a modem. I figured this is what I needed to do the first time around, but I was waiting for the Airport Utility to tell me to do so (I was a bit too passive). So, I connected the modem to the TC via the WAN port, moved my two other ethernet connections to their LAN ports, and the TC turned green. Nice!
However, my Airport Express, which I used to extend my network, then disappeared from the Aiport Utility. I figured cos things changed in my overall configuration. I then took another 5th generation AEBS I had waiting in the wings and set that up instead to extend my network, and that was very quick and error free. So, I now have a new TC and 5th generation AEBS providing my wired and wifi network in my NYC apt. Cool.

Why does my new Airport Extreme accept the old password for a guest user?
