Why won´t my airport recognize my wan?

So I was sick with my Amper router that was provided to me by Telefonica (my phone company here in Spain), so I bought an airport extreme knowing that I could use it as a router.
I go through the procedure of setting it up, and everything appears normal, but for some reason the airport extreme doesn´t recognize the wan cable I plug in that was provided to me by Telefonica. Now the cable works perfectly in the Amper router, and so supposedly it should work perfectly in the airport. So this leaves me asking what is wrong? Do I need a different kind of cable?
I went through all the other steps, aaaaand the light on the airport is green. Looking at the status of the airport, the only error that appears is that I am not connected to the internet due to the fact that the airport does not detect a wan cable.
Is the wan cable the problem? If so, why? Any suggestions?

Eldardoamarillo, Welcome to the discussion area!
Is the Amper router a combination DSL modem/router device?
If so you will need a DSL modem with an Ethernet output. Connect the output of that modem to the WAN port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).

Why won't my airport express allow internet connection on TV blu ray? I have internet connection on iMac

Why won't my Airport Express allow internet connection on my Blu Ray when there is internet connection on my IMac?

I'm guessing you only have the modem/router supplied by your isp and the Airport Express. Is the Airport Express connected to the modem/router with an ethernet cable? If not, plug one end of the cable into an available port on the modem/router and the other end in to the WAN port, indicated with a dashed circle, on the Airport Express.
Have a nice day.

Why won't my MAC recognize a DVD with JPG...HELP!!!

I have received 3 different DVD's from this photographer in an effort for me to be able to view my pictures. None of them work!! She has now given me a cd and it works fine!?!!? Why won't my Mac recognize the DVDs??

A friend of mine turns out a lot of DVD's for and organization that he does photo work for and he has found
that burning DVD + or - can make a diferance along with the age of the player and he has gone back to
burning them at the slowest speed possible. (people in the organization sends him old pictures that he fixes
then burnes a DVD for them and returnes the pictures and DVD.)

Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?

Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?
I've just completed a 140 minute project in FCP. I've encoded an MPEG2 file that is 5.75GB in size. Brought into DVDSP and am trying to burn the DVD.
I have Final Cut Studio 1, latest updates and everything.
Because of the 5.75GB size I need to burn to Dual Layer DVD. I have Verbatim 4x 8.56GB dual layer DVDs.
When I click buld/burn and pop in a dual layer DVD I get an error saying "please insert compatible disc".
Even with every app closed. If I put one of these DVDs in my Mac it simply spits it out after about 20 seconds.
For some reason the Mac won't handle or understand these Dual Layer DVDs.
I bought this Mac Pro about 4 months ago and it is the 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon machine and the DVD drive (according to system profiler) is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D. In system profiler it says "Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D"
Can anyone tell me if this DVD player is actually capable of dual layer, or do I need to buy one.
In System Profiler under Revision it says: AB09 and under Protocol it says: ATAPI
Can anyone advise please?

If you have access to a pc into which you can install the 112, or if you have bootcamp, you can replace the Apple supplied firmware with Pioneer firmware. This should restore full functionality to the drive. The latest Pioneer firmware for the drive is version 1.21 and can be found here: http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Firmware/SingleModel.aspx?DriveId=1426

Why won't my airport express turn on after thunder storm ?

Why won't my airport express turn on?

There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default. It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence. Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.
If none of the above helps, you may well have a harware problem.

Why won't my MacBook recognize the install disk?

Why won't my Macbook recognize the install disk? I want to run the Apple Hardware Test, but the computer will not boot from the install disk, it keeps ejecting the disk.

The optical drive in your MacBook may have gone bad. Can it read other DVDs?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. You can use some third party software like this iPod file transfer, it can help you copy files from iPod to computer, and then you can use iTunes to sync the music to your iPad mini.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Why won't FC Express recognize my camera?

I am trying to use Final Cut Express with my Canon FS11. It's plugged in via USB. Why won't it work? FC is not recognizing it.
Thanks in advance for help.

From best I can tell this is a standard definition camera. FCE does not support SD camera that use drives, discs, or memory cards. You can probably convert the material using MPEG Streamclip. There a lot of information on this on the forum and on the web.

I have several questions: 1. When I connect my Iphone using Wi-Fi what can I then do? Why won't my Iphone recognize my home network run off of Airport Extreme, and the app Nike Ipod sensor never activates.

I went to Starbucks this morning and my Wi-Fi on my Verizon Iphone connected, what does this allow me to do? My Wi-Fi does not recognize my home network from which I connect wirelessly to my MacBookPro and to my Apple TV using Airport Extreme router, why? Lastly, what do about the app NIke + Ipod not working. The sensor does not activate even after walking a half mile.

It might be best to ask only one question in each post otherwise you may never be able to mark them as solved.

It should allow you to access the internet, read mail, etc.

Try restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). It may not be properly assigning an IP address to your iPhone.
