Wireless network working, but airpot setup assistant was not done

hi there!
i was trying to set-up my wireless network using an airport base station.
i have a DSL connection with our PC & AOL is the ISP.
when i was setting the airport setup assistant, it said that i was using a PPPoE, so i entered my ISP, user name & password & finished with my setup. but i cannot connect to the internet & my AOL on the PC signed off & when i try signing on again, it cannot. so, i reset my airport base station. my AOL on the PC worked & so as my wireless network. i also downloaded the AOL for mac OS X since i read at the support page that AOL has difficulty working or connecting with mac OS X. then i tried using the airport admin utility to configure the base station. when i finished with it, everything is still ok.
so is it ok that i did not use my airport setup assistant as long as my network is configured (using airport admin utility) & my wireless network is working?
thanks for your time.

Yes, absolutely! Both utilities access the AirPort base station's settings. You can think of the AirPort Setup Assistant as the "quick & easy" setup method, with the AirPort Admin Utility aimed more at doing "manual" or "fine-tuning" type of setups.

Wireless contection working but connection on main computer not working

I was using my main computer last night and walked away from it for about 15 minutes. When I came back it said there wasn't a connection to the internet and couldn't find one. I restarted the router and computer but it did not help. The connection does however work on my internet. Any suggestions?

You said wireless is working, right? Use that, if it is on a different computer download it there, put it on a flash drive, install on the one that won't communicate. But first...
Lets go back to basics.
On the "main" (wired?) computer, can you communicate from the PC to the router? Open your browser, type in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar and hit enter.
Do you see the router login screen? If so, you are talking to the router, and the problem is inside the router or beyond it (which is unlikely since you said the wireless works).
No? Then you aren't even talking to the router, try a Network Connection repair on the PC and see if that fixes it. And check to make sure the ethernet cable between your computer and the router is still correctly plugged in, and try moving it to a different port on the router.
Hope this helps. If not, please tell us more about your entire configuration (PCs, other things like TV STBs, brand of router, any customization you may have done on the router, etc). It is hard for anyone to help in an information vacuum.

Networking works, but disk access and utility access don't

A day or two after restarting my extreme, it will get into a strange mode with the following symptoms:
1) admin access from airport utility hangs with "reading airport extreme configuration"
2) disk connections drop, and reconnect fail with a password error. disk sharing is set up with a single password. (disks are used for time machine backups, which naturally fail at this point)
However, I don't lose anything at the networking level - I can connect to the internet, see other systems on the LAN, etc. Symptoms go away after I power cycle the extreme.
This points to some sort of authentication error. Nothing unusual in the mac logs and of course I can't see the airport logs.
Anyone seen something like this or got any hints?

Config: 2 month-old AE. Network also has 2 airport express, 2 wireless macs, 1 wired mac, various other pieces of equipment (pc, tivo, phones, etc .. nothing that authenticates to the router). 2 iomega disks are attached. Macs and airport are at the latest software versions.

The drives have their own power supplies. Not sure why Time Machine would be related to authentication subsystem loss (as compared to other regular access to the disks). It's certainly true that I notice this when time machine goes south, but nothing I do over the wire should cause the basic config interface to fail

Question about how wireless networks work

Hello,
This is more of a general question rather than one that is specific to the airport. I have a network with an Airport Express with wireless n, a Macbook Pro with a wireless n card, and a printer that has a wireless g card. Someone told me that because I have a wireless g device on my network that I will never get wireless n speeds even when using my computer to do things besides printing because the network is only as fast as its slowest device. Based on this, if there is a computer on my network that has a wireless g card then everyone on the network can only get wireless g speeds even if the others have wireless n cards.
It was always my understanding that I could not get n speeds when using the printer but I thought that if I were using my computer to connect to the internet, download, upload, etc. (things that have nothing to do with printing and don't require the printer) then I should be able to get wireless n speeds.
I was wondering if someone could explain how wireless networks work. Thanks in advance.

The simple answer is that having 802.11g (i.e. 54 Mbit/s) clients on an 802.11n network will NOT slow down the 802.11n clients.
However, 802.11g works only in the 2.4 GHz band, whereas 802.11n also works in the 5 GHz band, which is potentially much faster. So if you require compatibility with g devices on an AirPort Express, it decreases the potential maximum speed of the n devices, because you have to operate in the 2.4 GHz band. But this slowdown occurs whether or not g devices are actually connected to the network.

I was told I need to remove the enterprise server account I have and need to add a new one for work but the IT person did not tell me how to do this. Can anyone help?

Same here.... No fix. Replacing is the option apparently and if you're out of warranty, you're SOL. That was as per the "Genius" at Apple.

Help! I am trying to get at my iPod (2nd Gen) from a new computer. I have iTunes loaded but the Setup Assistant doesn't come up to allow me to access my iPod Shuffle. When first using iPod, the Setup Assistant comes up but not 2nd setup?? Thx.

Please help! I am trying to get at my iPod (2nd_Generation) from a new computer. I have iTunes loaded but the Setup Assistant doesn't come up to allow me to access my iPod Shuffle. When using iPod in the 1st computer (which I no longer have), the iTunes Setup Assistant comes up but not on this 2nd setup on a new computer? The manual doesn't clarify how to do this. Thanks.

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

I dropped my macbook pro 17" from about 4 feet from my shelf onto a hard floor and it dinged the corner pretty bad, but it still works OK. a year back also it fell of from 1ft height but that time there was not any dent.

I dropped my macbook pro 17" from about 4 feet from my shelf onto a hard floor and it dinged the corner pretty bad, but it still works OK. a year back also it fell of from 1ft height but that time there was not any dent. my worry is will it give any prop in future or its just a cosmetic issue but in performance it wont give any problems. it happened an hr back & i am very upset for this misshandling.

I dropped a MBP and dented that same corner, though it wasn't one of the unibody MBPs:
It worked flawlessly for a month, then suddenly died. I put it to sleep one day, then 5 minutes later remembered something I had forgotten to do, opened it back up... and nothing. It never worked again. Repairs would have been well over $1,000, and would not have been covered by the warranty or by AppleCare (if I had bought it). I opted to just buy a new Mac instead.
Now, just because that happened to me does not mean that's what will happen to you. However, you do need to prepare yourself for that possibility.

The ZyXEL P-2601HN-F1, as you know, is a combination DSL modem & 802.11n wireless router (or gateway device).
For your goal you will want to take a look at this Apple Support article for details on how to configure an AX for iTunes.
If you are still having difficulties with the AX joining the ZyXEL's wireless network, you can try the following:
Temporarily disable wireless encryption.
If you are hidding the SSID, disable that feature.
Change the Mode Select setting to: 802.11g Only
Change the Channel Selection from "Auto" to a set channel, like 1, 6, or 11

Attempting to download Maverick it has been running for nearly 24hrs. I have tried shutting down the computer but the setup assistant keeps canceling the shut down.

Just hold down the power button for about ten seconds and the machine will turn off.
I'm not sure how fast your Internet speed is but my Mavericks downloads usually only take about 20-25 minutes for a 5.33GB file.
No telling what will be waiting for your when you power back on... call back if you can't login to your computer.

HT3964 Hi , My modem got zapped by lightning yesterday. My iMac still was able to power on when I tried it yesterday. Today the modem is replaced and internet is working, but now the computer will not power on. I followed the steps to reset SMC. Noth

Ouch, not much more you can do, I think you'll have to have it looked at.

Got new iPad Air tried to setup using iCloud but because the iOS was not up to date I couldn't setup as same as old iPad

Got iPad Air and 5s and tried to use iCloud to set them up but because the iOS was not up to date I had to set up as new, and now I can't get them to be the same as old phone and ipad2. I have got some contacts and some calendar entries bug no apps or pictures etc

What you would do is set up your new one. Don't try to restore it from the backup, just set it up, update it and then wipe it (settings, general, erase all content and settings)
then set your new ipad up again but this time choose to restore it from the backup of your old one.
Basically you set it up just enough to download and update it, then you wipe it and restore it.
