Why hasn the airport base station still NOT got a adsl/cable modem yet?

I want a all in one apple product
It seems so obvious to me that this product is screaming out to have a modem built in. If it did i'd buy it with out a second thought.
It's exactly the same with apple tv and the mac mini, they should be combined.
Better still combine Apple tv, A mac mini, A modem (Cable or ADSL), Airport and some kind of digital tuner built in. A all in one Media sever/routing box.

To make your suggestions in a place that Apple would see them, visit www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Having problems with one computer not "seeing" the Airport base station.

    Aloha:
    I have an Airport router hooked up to the internet via Cable. I have a laptop and G4 desktop talking to the the Airport Base Station via their respective Airport cards. This allows me to get to the internet with both of my computers. This system has worked just fine for several years, but recently my desktop computer has started to be unable to connect to my Airport Base Station. At first it was intermittent, but now it has stopped completely. The laptop continues to be able to get to the internet via my Airport base station.
    The desktop is running OS 10.3.9 and the airport card in the desktop passes the hardware test that came with the laptop. But it can no longer see the signal from the ABS.
    What might my problem be?

    Hi Clinton:
    I have tried that to no avail. I don't see any
    signal, so I see no networks "in the box below" to
    choose. My airport card does not see a signal, but
    the airport card checks out ok in the hardware test.
    Thanks for replying, Clinton, much appreciated.

    Have you tried choosing "other..." and then entering the name of your network?

  • HT3728 I cannot find the Airport base station

    I have lost the connection to the Airport Base station and do not know how to get it back. I have internet through another modem, but need to reset everything back to using the Airport Base station 1TB to connect to the internet and to see my backup files and all my media. I am using a MacBook Air 13" 2012 model. Please can someone assist.

    Do a reset on the base station. It will return to default settings and you will then be able to pick it up..
    If you had it setup to join a wireless network then it will disappear. Don't use it that way.. Run it bridge or in router mode.
    I have to suggest if you have nothing but the air.. do go and get the USB to ethernet dongle.. it is not that expensive.. IMHO access a wireless device by wireless to fix wireless settings, is like the cartoons where the person is sitting on the tree branch sawing it off. When you change the wireless settings you then lose connection.. it is much better using ethernet.

  • My computer no longer recognises the Airport base station network

    I presently have wireless broadband internet access on my iBook (using a Belkin wireless ethernet router connected by an ethernet cable to my airport.)
    I also have an Airport Express in another room connected to my stereo for playing all my iTunes songs wirelessly.
    The problem arose in that if i wanted to listen to my music I had to switch between networks, meaning i couldn't surf the net and listen to music at the same time.
    A few nights ago I tried to 'merge' the networks using Airport set-up assistant (or admin utility, I forget which).
    Now, my computer no longer recognises the Airport base station network, just the Express one.
    Is there a way of listening to my music and using the internet at the same time, and how do I get my internet working again in the first place!
    Many thanks

    Rebooted Airport Express and now working

  • My Airport Base Station does not appear in the Airport Admin Utility

    I cannot see my airport extreme base station in the Airport Admin Utility nor in Airport Setup Assistant via Airport. It worked yesterday but when I was trying to set up a network something must have changed but I don't know what it is. (The setup didn't work so I am only using one base station right now.) The only way I can configure/reconfigure the base station is by physically connecting via an ethernet cable. Then no problem. I have two computers and neither can access the base station with Airport Admin Utility via Airport. I have installed the latest Airport Update but nothing has changed. What happened?

    You should be able to use the second Airport Extreme
    Base Station as a wireless print server. What I
    suggest you do is:
    1. run the Airport Admin Utility and clean up
    settings on your existing Base Station:
    - under the Airport tab, make sure you have not
    selected to "create a closed network"
    - under the Access Control tab, clear out all
    settings
    - under the WDS tab, clear out all settings
    - under the Network tab, make sure the box is checked
    to "Distribute IP addresses" and "Share a single IP
    address using DHCP and NAT".
    - update settings to the Base Station if you changed
    anything.
    2. do a hard reset of your second base station per:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451
    3. for now, put both base stations and the Mac in the
    same room. Run the Airport Setup Assistant, and use
    its guidance to configure the second base station as
    a new base station that "extends" the wireless
    network of your main base station.
    That should do it.
    Thanks very much. The printer works great from both computers via my second airport base station. And I can see both my base stations in the Airport Admin Utility.

  • Why does my Airport Base Station continue to disconnect?

    It works fine until it just goes out. Every once in a while it just goes out at random times even though it is still connected to everything (computer, modem).I do this to create a wifi connection for my family and I. I have tried all of resets and it still goes out. I do believe it might be something internal. If so, can someone please elaborate more on this. If not, can someone give me some information on how to fix this. Thanks!

    I see you are running Windows 7.  Apple just came out with a firmware update for Airport Extreme (7.7.2).  It so happens that this Firmware version requires Airport Software version 6.3 or newer.  The Windows version only goes as high as Version 5.6 or so.  I was also told that Apple is unlikely to upgrade this software.  To make a long story short you need to control your Airport Base Station with an iMac, or an iPhone or iPad with the Airport app.  This solved my problems.  Good Luck :)

  • Airport base station does NOT deliver a solid connection!

    I have an older Airport base station (an extreme-square, flat, white, you know the one). Ever since I installed the most recent firmware update I get next to no data flow through from the provider. If I connect direct to the provider router via ethernet cable I get amazing connectivity speeds. I change the set up to connect via the Airport and I get either no connection or 5 KBS.... a speed, when it available is a joke. While trying to run through the Airport my Airport signal is full strength. It appears the base station does not know how to digest and dispense the information from the service provider into a full band of connectivity. The problem exists with both Apple laptops in the house. I have done all the required resets and restarts and to no avail. Connecting direct, which is a HUGE hassle, provides amazing speeds. I had none of these issues before I did the firmware update about three days ago (about 12.18.09). Any thoughts or directions to help me out?
    Thanks!

    Your Express requires an IP address to be issued by the device connected to its WAN port, in most cases that is a cable modem.
    Power down your modem and let it rest. Leave it powered down, connect it to your AirPort Express, then power it back up again. This permits the modem to supply the Express the IP address it needs.
    Like it says, if you still can’t connect, contact your Internet service provider.

  • Whats the airport card model of the airport base stations

    I have an A1026 airport card from an old ibook G4 that I'm not using. I've seen at ebay some airport base stations without "airport card" is it possible to install my A1026 on an airport base station or they have different cards ?

    The A1026 Airport Extreme card was used in the "saucer shaped" Airport Extreme Base Station models.
    My advice - don't throw away money buying one of these base stations off EBay. The Airport card inside them was probably cannibalized for a reason - because the card may have been the only thing inside the base station that still worked properly.

  • What is the AirPort Base Station Agent?

    I just noticed in my Login Items on one of two computers (MacPro, no Airport card) there is an Application called AirPort Base Station Agent. It is checked to be invisible on opening. On my laptop (with Airport) that Application is not listed in Login Items. I never put it there myself as I don't know what it's for. It is located in System Folder/Core Services of both computers but only listed as a startup item in one of them.
    Can anyone explain? Should it be added to the laptop login?

  • Why does my airport base station show all green lights but doesn't connect to the internet?

    I have an Airport Express Base Station that has been working beautifully up until this morning.  For no apparent reason (changes in ANYTHING), I cannot connect to the internet through it.  Here's the situation:
    The light on the airport is solid green.
    Aiport Utility shows all is well...the base station shows up, with green light, IP address, etc.
    Network Diagnostics shows "your connection to the internet seems to be working correctly."
    Connecting the modem directly to the computer via ethernet cable works fine...internet humming right along.
    Connecting the modem to the base station doesn't work, even though all green lights and "all systems go" diagnostics.
    Wireless access via iPhone and iPad not working, either, so definitely not computer-based issue.
    No changes have been made to anything.  I'm running 10.6.8 on a 2007 MacBook Pro.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Nancy

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for responding.
    Does that IP address start with 169, or something else?
    The IP address starts with 10.0...
    Does this mean that the iPhone and iPad can connect to the wireless network....but not get to the Internet?.....or.....does this mean that the iPhone and iPad cannot connect to the wireless network at all?
    They can see and connect to the wireless network, but aren't connecting to the internet, just like my computer.  Sorry for not being clear about that.
    Can you look on the side of the AirPort Express to locate the model number?  Hard to see, you may need a magnifying glass. Starts with an "A" followed by four numbers, as in A1264, or A1084, for example.
    The model number on the Airport is A1392.
    Any insights based on this info?  Thanks for your help.

  • How to configure correctly the Airport Base Station to work with windows PC?

    Hi Friends...
    I am having MacBook Air and Windows PCs with XP & Windows7.
    In MacBook I can use the internet through Airport Extreme Base Station.
    But In windows PCs I am unable to use. It is not getting the IP. And I am unable to configure DHCP also.
    Please help me out in this or let me know where i can get step by step instructions.
    Regards,
    Prakash

    If you temporarily disable wireless security on the AirPort, can both PCs now get their proper IP address information from the DHCP server in the base station?

  • Do I need an internet connection to use the airport base station express?, Do I need an internet connection to use the airport base station express?, Do I need an internet connection to use the airport base station express?

    we have no wireless internet in my house and the only internet connection is a laptop aircard that does not give off signal. will the base station express work without an internet connection being fed to it?

    On the windows computer that is connected to the internet you will need to enable Internet Connection Sharing, see link below.  On the Airport you will need to turn Connection Sharing OFF as the Airport will not be handling NAT (network address translation) or be a DHCP Server as this will be handled by the computer with ICS.

  • Connection dropping with Airport base station but not other routers

    i have and airport express base station and two macs: a PBG4 running 10.4.6 and an old ibook running 9.2. just in the last few weeks the internet connection (DSL), which has been rock solid stable, has become intermittent. i will be working away with a fast internet connection and then it will drop, sometimes for as long as 10 minutes. when i am at work with the PDG4, i never experience this problem (work has a linksys router). i have been reading about airport problems but it seems they are with the airport software. what doesn't make sense to me is why i don't ever have the problem at work but i do at home. any thoughts on my problem because it is REALLY frustrating at home.

    to add to this description, my email always works, even when my web browsing craps out...

  • Airport Base Station - Password Not Known

    I bought an used airport extreme base station in the internet. The station works, I can go to the internet but I can't make any changes by the airport administration programm. It always asks me for a password which I don't have. What can I do?

    I don't have an "Airport Extreme" to say first hand, but perhaps you could try resetting it…

  • Power USB Hub - powers the Airport Base Station (802.11n)?

    I have a powered USB hub hooked up to my new AE. If I pull the power plug for the AE, the unit remains partially powered via the USB port (my hub). It won't power down until I also remove the USB plug into the AE.
    Anybody else seen this? Is this normal? Is this an AE problem? Is this a problem with my USB hub?

    By partially powered I mean, when I unplug the AE, the light on the front remains on but flashing. Why would I unplug it? Because I want to reboot it because my cable modem dropped the connection and I could not get the connection back. I attempted to power down the cable modem and router but I left the printer, HD's, and the USB hub powered up.
