Airport Extreme light shows green but have reset to get back online

Hello everyone,

I searched around for a few days and I found a few solutions I've tried, but none have worked yet.

My Airport Extreme has worked perfectly since we bought it around last summer, to replace our old style airport extreme. A few days ago, we noticed that our internet was not working, but during the inspection, all looked like it should be (modem lights were fine and our AE had a green light). I unplugged the Airport Extreme and left for a few seconds, then plugged it, once she came back until he returned to the Green and the internet worked fine (on 3 iPhones, 1 mini iPad and 1 iMac we use). Unfortunately, he must do it every 2-3 hours now to continue using our wifi.

So far I've made sure to firmware has been updated got rid of all special characters in our wifi name (saw it mentioned somewhere) and disconnected, both the router and the modem, let the modem first and then plugged router inside from there, essentially a complete reset of the system.

Does anyone else have this problem or an idea on how to fix it, or what can go wrong?

Thanks in advance!

You may not be aware that most Internet Service providers are in various stages of implementation of a new kind of service called IPv6 in their systems, which is done to alleviate a shortage of public IP addresses that occurs now.

Most suppliers of Internet services (ISP) have not really talked to clients changes they make on their systems. Among those who have, have made sure their customers should not notice any change in their service running.

I think you can see where this could go, since the evidence says otherwise. We saw an impressive number of reports of losses, frequent and intermittent internet connections on the forum in recent months in particular.

Coincidentally, the last few months is when most providers have made a number of changes to their systems. An ISP in particular is having problems because of their changes, and they are even gone so far as to inform users that their routers Apple... who worked on their service in the past... now, are not compatible with the new IPv6 service.

Except if your ISP gave you very specific instructions on the configuration of your router to work with his new IPv6 service, you can have better luck by disabling the connection IPv6 on your AirPort base station, using the more traditional IPv4 connection that offers to your ISP.

Important note... There is no guarantee that her temporarily disable the IPv6 connection on your AirPort base station will improve your connection problems, then it will be your decision if you want to try this.  You can call your ISP to ask them how their implementation of IPv6.

After the back if you want more details on how to disable the IPv6 your AirPort base station.

    My Airport extreme began to play up.  As you can see in the picture, it seems to have a problem and cannot be opened for editing.  I tried several times to do a hard reset and reinstall my setup.  It works and the network remains functional, but after a few minutes, the Base Station will appear with this warning sign.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hi @LR7575,

    Thanks for posting HP forums! I read your post and wanted to help.

    I understand that you have a green screen, so you replaced by others, but other screens show pink.

    This problem is caused by faulty connections, wiring, a bad driver, defective or lack of material. You can test by connecting to an external monitor, if the external monitor still adapter pink watch, you can get a bad display or graphic driver.

    First try the Reset tool button. If this doesn't work, sometimes problems happen for no apparent reason and that are caused by being corrupt preference files. To restore this file, press and hold Shift-Ctrl-Alt (Option-Command-Shift on Mac) immediately when you start PES. The timing is critical; You may need to try several times.

  • Airport utility: green points on the AirPort Extreme & Internet; Mini Mac does not connect to the internet.

    Airport utility shows green points on the AirPort Extreme and the Internet, but my my Mac mini does not connect to the internet. IPhones and 2 portable Windows connect very well, and see all the devices on the home network. The problem occurred after that PSI has swapped an ancient for a Comtrend CT5072T DSL modem. I tried to stop and things start back up as if the installation of the internet for the first time. No joy.

    The airport connects using DHCP in Bridge Mode

    The router address is 192.168.80.1

    Address IPv4 is 192.168.80.2

    DNS server is the same as the router, but grayed out

    Mac Mini IPv4 Address is 192.168.80.3

    IPv6 automatically configures

    Also updated the firmware of the airport; no change.

    ISP guy was friendly but puzzled. He started at the top floor level Tech, so I do not know when I hear back.

    Any ideas to fix?

    Thank you.

  • What to do if the reset button does not work on the Airport extreme a1408 w / Password lost?

    What to do if will not work the Reset button on Airport Extreme a1408? The password is lost (bought used). I spent several hours trying every method I could find anywhere on how to reset; soft, hard and default. Airport utility doesn't let me do anything without the previous owner password. I can't get him.

    Can anyone help?

    At this point, your only hope is to open the AirPort Extreme to try to repair the reset button... If possible. This link provides some tips on the process to open the unit.

  • Should I still have AirPort Extreme with Arris TG1682G?

    I have an Apple Airport Extreme Wi - Fi to my home on 3 floors (basement, ground floor and attic).

    The week last Xfiniti sent me a new "Wireless Gateway," which they recommend that I use.

    It is model Arris TG G 1682 and supposed to give service 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz.

    Can I use this, it is faster or more strong signal through walls, etc. or continue to use my Airport Extreme?

    Thanks for any help!

    Alan.

    Nobody has a crystal ball that will be good enough to see your network performance, so that we cannot provide an answer for you about the question of whether you should use the gateway Arris or AirPort Extreme.

    Use your laptop to connect and check the connection Wireless at various locations around the House using the signal from the bridge of Arris.

    Then, do the same thing by using the AirPort Extreme signal.

    If you find the gateway Arris delivers a better signal than AirPort Extreme, then you need not in AirPort Extreme unless you want to have a separate network for guests or children.

    If you find that the AirPort Extreme works better than the Arris gateway, you can use the signal from the gateway for a network of comments or children. If you do not need a network comments or children, you might want to disable wireless on the bridge to reduce the number of wireless networks in your area.

  • Wifi configuration with Airport Extreme (A1143), iMac (El Capitan) running. Need of a direction.

    I recently moved to a City University and living in a housing facility run by the University. It's got broadband by Comcast for free with the room. I plugged all the necessary equipment (modem and cable) to the iMac and the internet works well for a week now.

    Now I want Wifi for the apartment. I decided to dust off my old 1st or 2nd Gen extreme base station Airport. I read that it can still work with El Capitan, so I went and tried to install it. First of all, I updated the firmware and connected the appropriate cables. Everything seemed to go in the direction of the work, but I hit a bump on the road. Wifi works for the iMac. I unplugged the ethernet cable and it's receiving internet, but I tried to get my iPad Wifi and smart phone and it doesn't seem to work. I used the good passwords etc. Nothing.

    I found it odd that I get Wifi to my iMac, although the Airport Extreme light is orange. Normally, it should be green. Of course, I don't use this thing in forever and actually don't think it would work, but so far the iMac becomes Wifi, but aren't the other devices and auburn is turned on. So here's a screenshot of what I see in the Airport utility.

    Can anyone help or point me to the right direction? Also it has to do with the campus of the internet, I'm getting?

    The attached picture shows it's getting to the internet via wifi (not plugged into the modem) but he doesn't seem to get wifi on my other devices in the apartment. The Airport base station we connected directly to the Modem. I also followed the steps of my iMac had originally planned to make it work and it did, but only for the iMac. I expect the unit to green thereafter but he did not. What gives?

    The A1143 was introduced in January 2007 and arrested in March 2009, so the model you have is at least 7 years and older, and as much as 9 + depending on when the product has been implemented.

    The average lifetime of a router designed for home use is about 5 years, so we're not sure how much time and effort you want to invest in AirPort Extreme you have there.

    Frankly, it is remarkable that the product works for the iMac, because status messages indicate that you have an Internet connection.  We cannot explain this one.

    We also don't know if amber on the most convenient airport is flashing, or remains Orange fixed. Can clarify you on this, please?

    If you want to try to start over again and set up the AirPort Extreme, the first bit of information that we need is the number of brand and model of your modem.  We don't need a serial number, only the manufacturer name and number for the modem to the model.

    We will try to help, but who can give no assurance that we will be able to get things working for you.

  • the Airport extreme, giving a slow wifi connection

    Hello

    I've got my download speed of 200 Mbps cable company. I checked a good signal by plugging directly in he back of the Modem (to remove the photo Airport extreme wifi.) ... I have 221Mbps actually...

    However, once I'm going to plug in the Airport Extreme and text my speed on wifi, I get only between 24 Mbps or max after several trials of 54 Mbps on download... I should get just under 200 Mbit/s because of the normal fall through wifi... However, not to the extreme I loss I get...

    Tuesday Apple Support has helped me to perform a reboot of the router and I have been good to get 198Mbps... It is here 2 days later and I'm back down to 24 Mbps...

    I tried to redo the reboot: unplug the unit, hold down the reset button, then while holding down the reset button, add power on and continue now stuck until it flashes yellow... But curiously, after it flashes it goes straight to the green... (never asking me to airport utility to add a password)

    My Wifi speed stink...

    What continues with this device... anyone have recommendations?

    I already proved the cable line and the modem (with the support of motorola)...

    Thank you

    Most likely you have a faulty AirPort Extreme. Please ask Apple to replace this unit for you.

    If you wish to renew a reset, follow the instructions very carefully:

    Turning off AirPort Extreme

    Wait 7 - 8 seconds

    Hold the first reset button... and hold in an additional 7 to 8 seconds while simultaneously you reconnect the power on the AirPort Extreme.

    Release the reset button to zero after the period of detention

    Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart. The light will be Orange fixed for 15-20 seconds about, then turn to flashing orange slowly after about 30 seconds

    A slow amber flashing light... about once per second... confirms that the airport has been reset and you can set it up again.

  • 2nd airport Extreme not found in Airport utility

    I recently replaced an Airport Extreme 6 years with a new one. The former we worked, but the range of its signal seems to have declined, so we replaced.

    Now the news is up and running without problem. And I would take the old and use it to extend our network. We already have an Airport Express Terminal to expand the network, so this would add another node.

    I moved to its new location and plugged the power cord. It shows the yellow flashing light. However, the old Airport Extreme does not appear in Airport utility. Screenshot attached. There is nothing in the section other devices Wi - Fi.

    ZeroOne_nomap-2 is my new base station. AirPort Express of Sunny was already part of the network. The old base station does not appear.

    Any ideas?

    You must reset the 2nd Gen AirPort Extreme back to default settings, before it can be put in place to expand the network.

    Temporarily, to locate the 2nd Gen airport near the new AirPort Extreme

    Turn on the 2nd Gen airport a few minutes

    Then hold down the reset button on the back of the airport for 5 to 6 seconds then release

    Allow a minute for the airport restart to a slow, flashing amber light status

    Now click the WiFi icon at the top of your Mac.

    Look for an announcement of the new AirPort base station

    Click on AirPort Extreme, just below this list

    Who will get the "Wizard" configuration running. It will take a few seconds to display a screen that looks like this, except that you can see your devices and the network name.

    Type a name you want to call the 2nd Gen airport

    Click next

    The wizard will set up everything for you. When you see an installation message, click done

    Now, turn off the power and pass the 2nd Gen to its new location where it can receive a strong signal from the AiPort Extreme 'hand' and turn on the 2nd Gen airport

  • Why is my slower than wifi ethernet download speed when using the airport extreme?

    Hi all

    This is my first post here, so please bear with me. I currently own stunted 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch and an extreme A1521 from the airport. My ISP has promised 50Mbps downloading and sending 10 Mbps. When I connect my MPro via ethernet/wi-fi to my modem I get as promised. When I connect my MPro via wi - fi to the extreme I get 48Mbps download download 9Mbps and it's ok. However, when I connect my MPro via ethernet to extreme I get 8-9Mbps download and 9Mbps. Anyone know how to fix this?

    If you check the 'fine print', your ISP has promised "up to" 50 Mbit/s and 'up to' 10Mbps.  The ISP might provide more than that during periods of slow activity, like the days of the week during the day, but much less during evenings when there are many more users on the Internet.

    When I connect my MPro via ethernet/wi-fi to my modem I get as promised

    I assume that you meant to check the Ethernet connection, you disable WiFi on Mac when you do this. And unplug the Ethernet cable when you check the speed of the WiFi, correct?

    If so, this tells you that the Ethernet port to both the modem and the Mac work properly, and WiFi work correctly as well.

    When I connect my MPro via wi - fi to the extreme I get 48Mbps download download 9Mbps and it's ok.

    If this tells you that the Ethernet connection between the modem and the AirPort Extreme works correctly, and wireless works fine on the AirPort Extreme.

    However, when I connect my MPro via ethernet to extreme I get 8-9Mbps download and 9Mbps.

    Well, you know that the Ethernet connection between the modem and AirPort Extreme works because you can register 48 Mbps Wireless.

    Thus, the possibilities are narrowed to two elements at this stage:

    (1) the Ethernet cable is defective or making intermittent contact. Try another Ethernet cable, to ensure.

    (2) If you have turned off AirPort Extreme and rebooted several times, and you know that the cable between the Mac and AirPort Extreme works properly, then you have reduced the question down to the Ethernet on the AirPort Extreme, which is probably defective switch.

    If you have not already done so, try other ports Ethernet on the AirPort Extreme.

    As a last resort, perform a reset material on AirPort Extreme and put up again. To perform the Hard Reset... power on AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold it pushed in the reset button on the back of the unit (near the AC power plug) for 7-8 seconds and release. Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart orange light flashing slow.

    I once went through two consecutive airport extremes with the same question about 8 months ago, so it can happen.

    If you're still having problems, then it is time to take the AirPort Extreme of Apple Store... If you have one near you... or contact the Apple Support directly by clicking on 'Contact the Support' in the upper right area of this web page.

    Good luck!
