Wifi connection AirPort Extreme with IP-camera
I can't establish wifi connection Airport Extreme with IP-camera. At the same time cable connection is fine, but wifi not.
Please, give me an advise.
You need to create a wireless network on the AirPort Extreme, and then you probably will want to assign a compatible static LAN IP address to the camera so that you can port-forward from the router to the camera.

Problems with connecting AirPort Extreme with SBC DSL Modem
We bought the AirPort Express specifically because we were told it was a snap to setup with Windows and DSL. I cannot get it set up. Have Windows Vista, AT&T DSL and a 5100 Speed Stream DSL modem. After a couple of failed attempts, I called AT&T support for help and was told to make a change to the settings on the DSL modem. Still didn't help. When I gave up on the AP Ex and tried connecting the DSL cable directly to the computer, I couldn't get connected to the internet at all so spent another hour on the phone with AT&T support to get things working. Second support person told me that the suggestion I was given was wrong but it is on the 5100 Speed Stream support page so I'm not sure. Thanks for any suggestions.
Thank you so much for your help. I tried those settings but the connection didn't work. However, it is working by leaving some of the default settings. See the underlined settings below.
That leaves me with other questions:
1) But what are the conquences of those settings?
2) How do I determine if I have a secure network? (other than the computer, don't have any other wireless devices to check though we are planning to purchase one in the future). When I check on the windows network
center, everything is "off" except password protected sharing. I was hoping to see a security-enabled network identification for this new network somewhere.
2b) I set up wireless security WPA/WPA2 Personal but not a guest network (yet).
3) A problem (amber light) was discovered because:
Allow Setup over WAN was checked. For now, I ignored the warning for now but think I need to change it.
4) under the AirPort Utility/Summary page, what should the IP address be? It is completely different than the IP address for the DSL modem.
5) The reason I didn't set up a guest network yet was when I originally tried to set it when when "Connection Sharing" was set to Off (Bridge Mode) - as suggested - I received a warning that Guest network requires that this AP Express needs to be set to share a public IP address uding NAT/DHCP.
Sorry for the very basic questions. This obviously is my first attempt at setting up a wireless router.
And thanks for any help.
To set up the AXn as a "bridge," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AXn's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AXn, and then, try these settings:
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab
Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
Network Name: <enter the desired Network Name or SSID>
Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) Set to automatic instead (and finding 80211a)
Channel: Automatic
Internet > Internet Connection
Connect Using: Ethernet
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode) Set to share a public address -
I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb. All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing. Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?
Rufus Cat-
Even if it was compatible, AirPrint does not work through a USB link, only Ethernet or WiFi.
I do not see your HP 4500 listed on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers. <iOS: AirPrint 101> Therefore you need to take another approach. To start, I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz. It has limitations, but should get you printing with your existing setup.
There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share and PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
Your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Programs that are reported to do that well are Printopia and FingerPrint. Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.
It could be that there's a new source of interference.
Use the advice in the second message of this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that each client sees:

How to connect to dsl airport extreme with built in modem
Hello everybody,
while we were tiding our cellar, i found an old airport extreme (a1034) with a built in modem, but i aint able to connect to my isp.
I looked throug the manual, but i didnt got answers there (maybe because of my poor english) . Is there a tutorial out there which tells me
how to connect to my isp?
Regards Floh
PS: again sorry for my poor englishIf you try to set up the new AirPort Extreme with AirPort Utility 5.6.1, you will receive a notice that you need a more up to date version of AirPort Utility.
Nevertheless, AP 5.6.1 will allow you to set up the basics....wireless network name, password, etc.
It will appear that you can change other settings that are not found in more recent versions of AirPort Utility, but if you go in and check using a newer version of AirPort Utility, you will find that the settings that you thought you had made have not "stuck".
For example, you want to change the Radio Mode on the new Extreme and not use the Automatic setting. AP 5.6.1 will appear to let you do this. But, if you check the setting using a more recent version of AirPort Utility you will see that the setting is still set at "Automatic".
So, the bottom line here is that unless the newer version of AirPort Utility has the specific setting that you want to change, you will not be able to make that change.
Is there ANY chance, to set up my new "towers" with more
options, than the current Airport Utilities do offer?
Unfortunately, no. -
I have a Airport Extreme with a 1TB external HD connected to it. I have it set up so my Macbook Pro and PC's in the house can access it. i have some files that i would like to protect(sensitive personal info.). Is there a way that can be done where as certain folders are password protected? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Would a good workaround be to use disk utility to set up a password protected sparse image, of course being connected directly to the Mac, then connect the drive to the Airport Extreme?
Then, couldn't one use that drive and protected files as normal on the airport? It would just require one extra step of using a Mac to set things up first.
I disconnected my Airport so cannot check it out for myself.

Do I need to connect the AirPort Extreme with a ethnet cable
Do I need to connect the AirPort Extreme with a ethnet cable
Hi Tracy,
I have an airport express connected by ethernet cable to a Netgear modem which is connected to a phone socket. Those devices stay at one end of the house. I can use my MacBook Pro to connect to the internet (by Wi-Fi, no cables) anywhere else in the house. I hope this helps.

AirPort Extreme with 3T time capsule file security question
Right now I am using a MacMini with an external HD as a file server. I'm thinking g of using the new AirPort Extreme with 3T time capsule to do the same tho g (while also extended my wifi reach).
With the Mac mini I have fine control over who gets to see and do what to which folders and files. It seems that with the AirPort Extreme thee is no notion of permissions or access control -- if you can get on the wireless you can access the files. That is extremely insecure.
Is my understanding correct? Is there no way to secure files hosted on an AirPort Extreme so only certain users can access them??
- johnAre there any instructions for how to format and set HFS+ user permissions on the AP Extreme's HDD?
For the formatting part, you will need to temporarily connect the drive to your Mac, and then, use the Disk Utility (a part of the OS X operating system) to partition and format the drive. You should find this utility in the \Applications\Utilities folder. For HFS+, choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" for the Format option.
For assigning user permissions using accounts, you will need to use the AirPort Utility.
Run the AirPort Utility
Select the Extreme, and then, click on Edit.
Select the Disks tab.
Select the HDD in the Partitions window.
Choose "With accounts" as the Secure Shared Disks option.
Click on the "+" button to add user accounts.
For each account desired, enter the Account Name, Password, and File Sharing Access type.
Click Save.
Click Update to write the new configuration information to the base station and wait for the station to restart. -
Airport Extreme with 6 TB Drive vs. Drobo vs. NAS?
I am looking for system design advice in preparation for a new Mac Pro set up.
Long story short- I am a semi-professional photographer. I shoot 1 - 2 TB a year (Nikon D800 and various other bodies). I currently have a 24" iMac (2007) and a MacBook Pro (2008) that are WELL past their prime. I have at least 8 TB of external drives with all of my previous years of Aperture libraries connected to my iMac which is my primary machine.
My question-
I am looking to have my previous Aperture libraries accessible to all of my machines and have a central storage solution.
I am looking opinions on placing a new Airport Extreme with a 6 TB external drive connected to it with my previous libraries (which do not change) on it and have it Time Machine backup my current photo library and system nightly. I do not require fast access to my previous libraries or fast backups.
I have off site backups of all my libraries and I backup my current stuff monthly offsite.
My new MacPro set-up will likely have a 4-6 TB G Tech drive attached to it for fast access for video projects etc.
I want all my photos accessibl, a current onsite backup… and I want it all automated- no input at all… and I don’t want a big huge mess of RAID drives and worries of multiples drives all over the place.
What would most of you suggest?
Drobo? NAS? … any help is appreciated.
ThanxThank you for the replies.
My predicament can’t be unique. I need a large chunk of connected, stable and slow storage that seldom gets used but is safe and sound… and I need a safe automatic backup of my current projects (but never am I so stressed that every nanosecond of data is replicated on the moon at the speed of light…).
I have witnessed massive Drobo failures and oddly been thankful that I had a mess of several external drives on my desk.
The other challenge is that my new system will be installed in a location that has no easy way of connecting to the wired network in my house…
Should I go with an Airport Extreme to increase the wifi speed a bit in the house and an attached Drobo 5D to the new machine? -
Configure an older airport extreme with an ipad1
I'm a complete noob regarding wireless. I bought an ipad1 and an older aiport extreme (the white round one) off of ebay and am not sure how to get it all up and running. My Mac Pro does not have a wifi card so I can't use that. I plan to connect the airport to my router via ethernet. I've read that you can't configure an airport extreme with the ipad. What do I need to do to set up the extreme so the ipad can see and use it?
thanksIf the extreme is already configured, can I edit it using the app?
Sure, if AirPort Utility recognizes the AirPort Extreme. Otherwise, you have to perform a Factory Default Reset on the Extreme and start over from scratch
Open AirPort Utility, select the Extreme, and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons to get to the wireless settings.
You want Wireless Mode set to "'Create a wireless network"
Wireless Network Name is your choice
Radio Mode = Automatic or 802.11b/g
Channel =Automatic
Wireless Security = WPA/WPA2 Personal
Password = Your choice
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)

Connect Airport Extreme to existing router without ethernet cable
I am looking to connect my Airport Extreme to an existing router without the use of the ethernet cable. The existing router is on the ground floor whilst I would like to install the Airport Extreme in the first floor to improve WiFi range on the 1st floor. I am able to connect Airport Extreme to the router with the ethernet cable (in which case both the devices have to be close to one another on the ground floor) but unable to get Airport Extreme set up without the ethernet cable. Is it possible to connect Airport Extreme to the existing router on a non-wired basis (i.e. without the ethernet cable) and if yes, how would be I able to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
The AirPort Extreme can connect wirelessly.....IF.....your existing router is also another Apple router.
Is that the case here? If yes, what model number is your existing Apple router?
If no, you will need to continue to connect the AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection. -
How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?
How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network? I have an ISP provided wireless Router that has to remain as the base station. I am able to join my 1/2TB Airport Extreme and Airport Express to the network, but I can't access/use Time Machine.
One option would be to connect the Time Capsule (TC) to the ISP-provided wireless router by Ethernet. You can then configure the for a roaming network. Then, depending on what your goal is for the AirPort Express, you can either: 1) Add it to roaming network, 2) Configure the TC & the Express for an "extended" network, or 3) Configure the Express to "join" the roaming network for AirPlay.

How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.
How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.
When Charter Tech goes to your site, have them connect the modem up, but do not connect the modem to your iMAC or MacBook Pro. What you want to do is connect the Airport Extreme to the iMac or MacBook Pro first with the Ethernet Cable. You have to do this to configure via Airport Utility to set up the Base Station Name & Base Station Password.
You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple Tv, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
Enter the Wireless Password you want
Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).
Next you then want to unplug the power to the Airport Extreme, and then take the end of the Ethernet cable you unplugged from the iMac or Lap top MacBook Pro and connect it to the back of the Modem.
Next unplug the power cord from the modem and wait about 5 minutes, then plug the power back into the Arris Modem and wait until all lights come back on the modem wait
about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow. Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.
For INTERNET to the left the light should be green and you should see the Airport Extreme also appear and the light to the left on the screen should also be green. If they are, you then should be able to click on the Wireless Symbol on top of bar of the screen and click to select the Wireless Network Name you created.
If you Do Not See the light (Icon) next to INTERNET turn Green, or if you see the Internet Light Green, but the Light (Icon) next to the Airport Extreme is yellow, unplug the power again to the modem and unplug the power again to the Airport extreme and wait about 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes. Then plug the power cord back to the modem wait till all the lights light up then, plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme and Restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro.
The Airport Extreme light should change from yellow to green. Open up the Airport Utility to see what the indicators are showing they should both be green. Again select Wireless network you created under the Wireless Icon on the top right of the screen. Open Safari and see if you are able to Route to a web page or the apple site should appear.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR AIRPORT EXTREME WAS PREVIOUSLY SET UP FOR USE WITH ANOTHER CARRIERS ROUTER OR MODEM.
NOTE: If you already had your Airport Extreme connected for example, I previously had ATT Uverse and the Airport Extreme was connected to the Wireless Router Model 3801HGV, I disabled the Uverse Wireless and used the Airport Extreme for the Wireless signal in bridge mode, as the Airport extreme Signal is much stronger than the Uverse router, and I was able to obtain a Wireless signal with the Airport Extreme way much better with no signal loss which was very very frustrating with the Uverse router.
Anyhow if you had it hooked up like this, now that you will be using it with the Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A, you will need to reset the Airport Extreme to clear out the old data it has in memory, with the previous set up otherwise it will not work. Trust me I spent 6 hours trying to make it work reading all Apple Support Community questions and answers relating to this type issue/problem others have been having trying to get their set up working. I tried all the tips, and I finally decided just to see if by chance I would be able to connect with someone with Charter Tech support who might be familiar with Apple to be able to assist me and by luck I did. He told me why it was not working and was all due the previous configuration with the ATT Uverse router was still in memory with the Airport Extreme. Finally it was 10:30 PM when I decided to call Charter Tech Support and I had been working on this since 3:00 pm pacific. I did not call them earlier as all the post I read said they never received any good help from Charter. After calling them I finished up by 11:00 PM and was able to finally connect Apple Tv, iMac, iPhones and Macbook Pro. We love our Apple Product and Happy all is connected with the new
Internet Provider Charter. I must say the speed is way way much better than it ever was with AT&T Uverse.
THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO:
First you will need to unplug the Airport Extreme, then by taking the tip of a pen or paper clip end you need to push the reset button on the back of the Airport Extreme and hold it
down and at the same time plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme count to 5 or 10 then release the reset button. Then once he light in front of the Airport Extreme stops blinking you need to plug the Ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to your iMAC or Macbook Pro, and restart which ever one you have, then open the Airport Utility once it is back up. If you see airport extreme pop up with the old network name or it shows and yellow triangle click on the Airport Extreme ICON it will not let you configure it but will ask if you want to get rid of it or remove and just do it. Then Again restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro, open up Airport Utility again, and on the top left you should see under “Other Airport Base Stations” the MAC ID for the Airport Extreme.
You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple TV, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
Enter the Wireless Password you want
Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).
Next you then want to unplug the power to the Airport Extreme, and then take the end of the Ethernet cable you unplugged from the iMac or Lap top MacBook Pro and connect it to the back of the Modem.

about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow. Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.

I have a Linksys WRT320N I used for the initial Charter setup.
I can get my Airport to work here, but the Internet light on the Modem flashes Yellow.
Hasn't caused any issues so far but one thing I did notice.
On the Linksys there were 3 DNS servers listed.
The Airport Extreme only lists 2 and i don't see where I could add another, only change whats already there.
I tried everything above, but light on modem still flashes yellow.
I have the technicians cell phone. Told me "that shouldn't be" and gave the same advice listed above.
I'll break down and call Charter one day, see if it's on their end. NSA tracking may need a reset LMAO. -
How do I connect airport extreme to seagate hard drive using windows
How do I connect airport extreme to seagate hard drive using windows?
First the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) cannot share out an external HDD attached to its USB port unless it is formatted in either HFS+ or FAT16/32. It will not work if the HDD is formatted in either NTFS or ExFAT.
If the HDD is formatted properly, when you access the AEBS with the AirPort Utility, does the HDD show up properly on the Disks tab of the utility?
If it does, then you would access the HDD as any other network share, using the following format: //servername/sharename. In the case of the AirPort Disk (a HDD attached to the USB port of either an Extreme or Time Capsule), the "servername" would be the Extreme's Base Station Name, and the "sharename" would be the volumename of the HDD. -

How do you connect AirPort Extreme Base Station to Verizon Air Card?
Sorry, but the Air Card cannot be used with the USB port on the AirPort Extreme because that port will only work with a hard drive and/or a printer.
Suggest that you check with Verizon to see if they have an adapter or wireless router for the Air Card that will provide an Ethernet signal to the AirPort Extreme.
