base station password

When I use airport utility to change the configuration of my stand he didn't ask me for the password for the base station... This means that anyone can edit my airport extreme without knowledge and provide the password?

No, most likely, administrator of your base station password recorded in the keychain on your Mac.

You can check it using the Keychain Access utility. Passwords administrator base station would have the value Kind of "AirPort base station password."

  • I have my time capsule for base station; How do I set up just for Time Machine?

    For several years, I have used Time Capsule as a wireless base station more backup Time Machine. I back up a Macbook Air (single user) and iMac with 2 users (two computers running on OS X 11.5). With Comcast Xfinity I need is more like a base station. In fact, I reset my router Xfinity name and password to replicate what was the name and the password to my Time Capsule network. But, now that it's done I can't understand of set up time capsule without set it up as a base station. The installation guide seems to suggest that I could do so by plugging the ethernet cable from the modem to an ethernet port which is not the WAN port. But this configuration did not work. The installation wizard only took me the steps to set up a wireless network. How can I simply we it with Time Machine as an external hard drive?

    Simply turn off the time Capsule wireless.

    To do... Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule, then click on modify in the window that appears

    Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the next window

    Change the setting for the Mode of network on 'Off '.

    Click Update to save the changes

    But... and this is a big BUT... This work of pourrait ... and maybe not. Even if the backup on the Comcast network seems to be working, there will be no help from Apple in case of questions or problems of backup.

    The reason is that, so that your Time Machine backups be supported officially by Apple, users must save on the Time Capsule wireless, or connect their Mac (s) directly to one of the three ports LAN <>- on the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

  • Incorrect IP address in AirPort Extreme Base Station

    I use a Vista PC. I have been using the Airport Extreme already. Recently, I try to make some changes when it starts. I accidentally pressed the wrong buttons. When changes are made and he ends by I cannot connect to the wireless device more. As shown on the start page the Airport utility, I find the last digit of the IP address as shown is incorrect, i.e. 10.0.1.200.  This should be 10.0.1.1 or 10.0.2.  How can I did it correct? It's because he just keeps asking my password and when I get it it fails just to connect. Someone help me please.

    You can replace the IPv4 DHCP range on the network > Network Options... page AirPort Utility. To the beach: 10.0.1.2 to 200 (the default), the base station LAN-side address will become: 10.0.1.1

    Temporarily connect your PC directly to the base via an Ethernet station so that you can access it then with AirPort Utility.

  • Name of the mn500 base station wireless network (be) changed to MSHOME.

    Run a wireless network with the mn500 smooth base station for years.   Last Saturday the network name is MSHOME.  Any thoughts on what is happening or how to change back the name I assigned it?

    Sorry, I misunderstood.  You are referring to the name wireless ID SSID (Service Set).  It is defined in the configuration of your wireless router.  I'm not familiar with this particular router, but with most routers, you can use a web browser to connect to the router (your model, it is http://192.168.2.1) preference of a wired connection that to change the SSID will cause a disconnect wireless, connect you with password "admin" (unless it's been changed) and change the settings.  On most routers, hold the button Reset on the router will return to factory settings which is possible as to how this change could occur.  Links to the user guide and manual configuration is on this page:

  • Microsoft Broadband Networking Wireless Base Station. MN-700

    I have a Microsoft Broadband Networking Wireless Base Station. MN-700.  I need to know how to find my wep and setting up a secure network.  I moved several times and don't know where to find the owner's manual.  Any suggestions?

    It's simple. Just reset the router and set up as if it were the first time. Then, you can simply choose a new password and security settings.

    However, if you prefer to have a manual everything you need to do is google the manufacturer and model number. You will have at least 10 links directly to the online, as a PDF owner's manual. Then Adobe Acrobat can view the information for you.

    Same program WHICH is free. Pluck so far! Type on... whatever.

  • How can I change the base station Airport of NAT mode?

    I'm trying to set up an Airport base station and stuck because I have the following message is displayed, but no idea how do what he asks...

    Status is showing as Double NAT and then asking me to move on to the base station in bridge DHCP/NAT mode.

    But where do I do this?

    Thank you

    It can be difficult to get the router to bridge sometimes... but if all goes well... Click on the airport icon in airport utility and then click on edit.

    Go to the network tab and change DHCP and NAT to bridge.

    Click Update at the bottom of the page... Then, everything should be good.

    If you are having problems follow these steps.

    Reset factory airport and then do a manual installation. I recommend that you connect with ethernet which is much more reliable, but your MBPr is not the most important network port that exists... Although there is a bolt of lightning at low cost for the ethernet card.

  • Should I buy a Base Station for my Apple products to use Time Machine?

    Should I buy a Base Station for my Apple products? I have a Netgear CG3000D-RG gateway and also use Windows with this modem/router. I'm not able to backup using time machine and bought an external hard drive PassPort but I find it pretty annoying having to plug it in to my MBP whenever I want to do a backup. I would like to use the most convenient airport on my MBP feature, however, it seems pointless unless I have connected to my Netgear router/Modem base station. If I have to buy a base station to make the backup of my MBP easier? I also use 6s and iPad Air iPhone. I would be able to save these features too? Thank you!

    1. you must either have a Time Capsule or connect the drive to your computer when you perform a backup.

    2. Time Machine isn't back from iOS devices directly; they should be stored on a computer and the computer saved Time machine.

  • Using the base station airport ONLY as a backup, but is not a router

    Hi, I have a simple question that I can't find an answer. I want to use my Airport only base like a time capsule, and not as a wifi hotspot. I'm in a wfi environment that does not have any router, my wifi just to join a wireless network in my office environment. Previously, I worked in an office where I ran a cable DHCP in my airport base station and then he joined with wifi. Now, I just want to use the airport as a backup. Answers to this question involve disable wifi from the airport and hit an ethernet cable from the router to the airport base station. I do not have a router. So is it possible that I can get the device from the airport, make back ups wireless, all at the same time be connected to a wireless network? I'm guessing that the answer is no.

    Unfortunately, your proposal of "no" is correct.

    However, you could configure the airport Time Capsule (ATC) to create a wireless network (without Internet access) and save on the Time Capsule wireless.

    Of course, to do this, when you want to save, you need to log on to your 'normal' wireless network and connect wireless provided by ATC.  Once the backup is complete, then you'll need to sign the CTA wireless and log on to your normal wireless network.

    All things considered, it would be much easier to invest in a USB low price and connect the HDD directly on your Mac. In this way, you can stay connected to your wireless network normal and backups occur automatically.

  • How to reconfigure wireless network extended with several base stations

    I have a wifi network in an Airport Extreme wired to the modem from our Internet service provider and an Airport Express Terminal extended wireless in another part of the House. I recently added a second Airport Extreme (also extended wireless) to boost coverage in another area of the House. I want to have the Express and the extreme second each wireless connection directly to the base station to the modem to have the shortest path to the main base station, but the Airport utility network diagram seems to keep showing the network of linearly (main Extreme base - second extreme - Express). So, two questions: first, represents the schema of utility Airport the signal path real (linear Express by Extreme II, then to Extreme II/modem)?  And secondly, if so, how to reconfigure the network to have both Express and Extreme II forking the extreme base I directly, rather than having the food by Extreme II, then Extreme I Express. The network showed that the desired branched network yesterday, but today went back into the linear trajectory. I tried a simple drag and drop graphic to move the Express, thinking that surely the Apple would implement such a simple, logical and direct way to manage the network, but no. Have not seen another way to configure the network manually, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

    It is very important to understand that Apple "extend a wireless network" works on signal strength.

    In order to have the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme to extend the network of the 'main' extreme wireless, two conditions must be fulfilled:

    (1) the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme extension should both be on the same relative distance of the extreme 'main '.

    (2) AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme extension must both be closer to the extreme 'main' they are to each other.

    In other words, a well put together would have your "main" AirPort Extreme in the middle of the House, with a Terminal AirPort Express on one end of the House and the AirPort Extreme to the other end of the House.  In this configuration, the two airports are about the same distance from the extreme 'main'... and... "" oth extending airports are located more close to the "main" airport that they are with each other.

  • AirPort Extreme Base Station 4th Gen

    Hi all

    I have an AirPort Extreme Base Station renovated 4th Gen router connected to a modem Arris SB6141 cable.  I had this AEBS for almost 5 years with no problems.  Last night, we had severe weather in the region and almost immediately after a lightning strike extremely close, our internet came out.  Service was also restored and our modem works properly.  However the AEBS is orange with intermittent flashing green.  When I opened the AirPort Utility to diagnose and fix the problem, I was prompted to connect the Ethernet cable to the AEBS.  All cables/cords are connected and secure.  I cycled power on all equipment, tried different cables and even performed a hard reset on the AEBS, and again, it won't recognize the cable Ethernet is plugged.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I guess you have tried another Ethernet cable between the modem and AirPort Extreme... and if this is the case, the storm produced a wave that damaged the port WAN on AirPort Extreme... even if the modem cannot have been hit.

    All you can do is try a Factory default Reset on the AirPort Extreme several times to see if that could help. Good luck!

  • How can ensure me that I am connected to the Wan, not the Base Station?

    I have one extreme as a base station, with an express the upstairs of the extension of the network. There are green lights on both, the utility displays the Express connected to the extreme and it is not a big house, so it seems that the network is configured correctly.

    However, when I'm near the Express, my MacBook Pro connection speed is significantly slower: 9Mbps, vs 30Mbps when close to the extreme. As far as I know, I am always connected the low extreme, rather as the Express I sit beside.

    Is there a way to say that I am connected to? Or y at - it a way to choose who to connect to?

    Thank you-

    In AirPort Utility, click images extreme and Express. A list of connected devices appears in the windows that appear.

  • The Apple AirPort Express Base Station is a good solution?

    I'm moving so leaving the wifi station that Verizon gave me. I think I have the Apple AirPort Express Base Station by station WiFi. I connected an iMac (main computer) MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone.

    My main question is how this used for the WiFi base station compares to others on the market.

    Thank you!

    Johnny

    The AirPort Express has limited the ability of speed due to its slow and limited capacity wireless Ethernet port due to its very small built in WiFi antennas.

    However, if the plan of your new Internet Service Provider (ISP) is limited to about 50 Mbit/s, then the Express would probably be OK if most wireless devices will be located near the AirPort Express Terminal.

    If the budget allows, an AirPort Extreme is a much better product... up to 10 times the speed of the Express... with additional WiFi antennas located just above the 'tour' to improve performance.

    If your new ISP plan is 100 Mbps or higher, then AirPort Extreme would be a better match.

    If you are considering other routers from other manufacturers... we cannot comment at all on their performance without knowing the number of brand and model of the device you are considering.

  • I just upgraded to a pace 5268AC router and can connect is more to my Airport base station. It does not appear in Airport utility. Any suggestions?

    I just upgraded to a pace 5268AC router and can connect is more to my Airport base station. The base station does not appear in Airport utility. Any suggestions?

    Whenever you change the modem or modem/router to which the airport links... or... change your Internet connection process, the airport must be reset to the default settings and then set it up again to work with the new device.

    Your message did not mention if you did that, but if not... to perform a Hard Reset on the router of the airport would be the first thing to do, to follow in setting up the airport once again, just as you would if the airport was new and connection to your modem/router for the first time.
