• 1102w does not connect correctly to the Airport Extreme Base station (Time Capsule) (wireless)

  & #3; I've been troubleshooting all day on this problem for my parents, trying to set up printing wireless for them on their new HP 1102W. I am trying to connect the printer wireless to their Airport Time Capsule base station. Using the WPS configuration, the printer is recognized by the base station, but I'm still not able to print wirelessly or via airprint. Enter the web configuration via USB, I see that the printer is grateful the network, but it doesn't have an IP address (it is set to auto/DHCP). Later I tried to connect to a shared of my iphone, wifi connection and everything worked perfectly, so the problem is that somehow the printer will not connect properly to the Airport base station. I tried several resets and restarts the printer and the base station, and the printer and the base of the station has new firmware. I also tried to change the security on the terminal of the default wpa2 personal wireless with wpa/wpa2 personal.

  I'd appreciate comments on this issue because I am quite frustrated now :-)

  Using the tool of the airport, I logged on to the base station and changed the wifi settings, while 2.4 and 5 ghz networks have different names instead of identical names standard. That did the trick, eventually I just configured the printer using wps in a few minutes.
  
  Thanks for your help.

• Airport Extreme to extend Time Capsule Gen1

  I just bought an Airport Extreme and wonder if I set up correctly to maximize my wireless speed.

  1 Internet provider router

  2 Time Capsule Gen - 2 to - 2 802.11n (NETWORK WITHOUT WIRE ORIGINAL "MAX")

  3 airport Extreme (NEW) - 802.11ac 'MAX-EXTREME.

  Wired router ISP, connects to Time Capsule (MAX)

  Wired router ISP, connect to Airport Extreme

  During the installation of MAX-EXTREME, I opted for 'extend' by using MAX-EXTREME MAX. While "MAX" is broadcast in my house. What is the optimal configuration?

  Let me know if I should reconfigure the network.

  I want to just make sure I am maximizing my wireless speed and range.

  Thank you!

  You cannot extend when you link Ethernet... you created a loop of large networks.

  Router ISP... Ethernet... Max-Extreme... Ethernet... SCI

  In this configuration, the TC is configured in bridge... and creates a... wireless network you can use the same name and the same Max-Extreme security... This is called roaming network. Never use measurement when you plug ethernet to a router.

  OR

  Router ISP... Ethernet... Max-Extreme... wireless. SCI

  In this configuration, TC is set to expand wireless Max-Extreme... no wired connection.

  The first configuration is far superior. And apple recommends to install more wireless roaming range.

• How will I know if my airport extreme in bridge mode?

  How will I know if my airport extreme in bridge mode?  My internet provider suggested I check into that and disable the bridge mode for a problem I've had with wireless help all my IP addresses.

  Assuming that you have a current version or recent Mac OS installed on your Mac...

  Open Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility

  Click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

  Click on edit in the window that appears

  Click on the tab at the top of the next page network

  If the router Mode setting = Off (Bridge Mode), then the AirPort Extreme is configured in Bridge mode.

  It's OK for AirPort Extreme setting, unless you want to play with a setting of DHCP and NAT and a network called Double NAT error.  If you do this, AirPort Utility will display a message telling you that the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme is 'off (Bridge Mode).

• How will I know if my Airport Extreme has the latest firmware?  And (not related) how to change the password used to connect to my network?

  I think I bought the latest version of Airport Extreme.  It is the unit which is rectangular, is about 6 to 7 w., etc.  I have some basic questions that I do not understand:

  1. How will I know if I have the latest firmware for this device?  I read a few posts that make it sound as if it was just automatically updates.  Is this true?

  2. can someone tell me how to change the password used to connect to my wireless network?

  Thank you very much!

  Chris

  If a firmware update is available, AirPort Extreme flashes orange.

  The most up-to-date version of the firmware is 7.7.3.

  You can see what version you currently have the following on your Mac...

  Open Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility

  Click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

  Look for the Version

  If the new firmware was available, you will see a button update here

  To change the wireless network password...

  Click on edit in the window smaller than you watched just to check the firmware version

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

  Go back / change the wireless password and enter a new password

  Do the same thing to check

  Click Update at the bottom right of the window and give the airport a minute full for restart

• The airPort Extreme (2007) and Time Machine

  Hi all

  I read the info "how to ask a good question" and apparently you need details. I'll try and be concise but informative with my problem. It has been a long journey to get to where I am, but hopefully, with a little help from this amazing community, I can get to my destination.

  Task

  To produce a backup solution Time Machine for the family spending as little money as possible and using the BRIC and broc, I already have.

  Equipment available

  I have a House with some ethernet cables for most rooms that through switches to allow a variety of, most entertainment devices to communicate. It is:

  1 x NAS/Media (ReadyNAS Duo v2) server,

  2 x TV (Samsung),

  2 x TEU (Beyonwiz),

  2 x Apple TV (a 2 nd generation the other is the latest version)

  2 x DVD players,

  1 x iMac.

  2 x 8-port switches,

  1 x 16 switch ports,

  1 x AirPort Extreme (2007).

  1 x Airport Express (age unknown but older than the extreme)

  1 x Fritz! Box 7490 Modem/Router

  Courses in place

  All the associated TV stuff are connected in 2 rooms through ethernet via switch 2 x 8 ports switch 16 central port and then to the Fritz! modem/router box.

  There are also all the usual WiFi going on with mobile phones, iPads and laptops.

  Remarkably, it seems just to work!

  However, I want to add some backup data on our computers. I tried to do by using the ReadyNAS as it is supposed to support Time Machine, but I can't it to appear as a backup destination. So, I thought, as I have AirPort Extreme, I add it to the network and attach a USB HDD for Time Machine since it is supposed to be easy. However, I've been home for hours and cannot make the HARD disk appear in system preferences/Time Machine.

  I plugged the Airport Extreme in one of the switches 8 port said to create a wireless network with the same details as the Fritz! The box according to another article of the support (Airport Extreme wired AND expand network - need of entry). Airport utility shows me Wi-wired connections and seems to work.

  I look at the AirPort Extreme disks tab and can see the attached USB drive here. However, it does not appear as a choice of drives available for backup in Time Machine preferences. I tried 2 different discs with the same result.

  The Question (finally)

  How can I get Time Machine preferences to show the USB disk attached to AirPort Extreme as a valid choice for backups? If anyone can give me a little help in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you for reading this,

  Grant

  Unfortunately, the key here is that the version of AirPort Extreme you have does not officially support Time Machine backups on a drive to the USB port of the device.

  The only version of the AirPort Extreme, which will officially support Time Machine backups on a drive in the USB port on the airport is the 802.11ac current version that looks like a "tower". Older versions of 'flat and square' of the AirPort Extreme don't support Time machine with a USB drive attached.

  To check, please see "Time Machine in charge of USB drives" in this Apple support document... AirPort base stations: discs on USB - Support Apple

  Support for time Machine to USB drives

  OS X Time Machine supports compatible USB drives encrypted, related to the time Capsule (802.11n and 802.11ac) AirPort and AirPort Extreme (802.11ac).

  Given that the average life of most wireless routers lasts about 5 years, and your AirPort Extreme seems to be about 9, your AirPort Extreme did very well for you... much better than the average. It might be time to start thinking about a replacement who will be responsible for backups Time Machine... either a time Capsule (i.e. an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive) or another AirPort Extreme.

• AirPort Extreme & Electrical Outlet Timer

  Hello

  I have the newest AirPort Extreme (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/ME918LL/A/airport-extreme?fnode=7f) and I recently moved to my room in my basement to the second guest room floor providing a 2.4 GHz and the private network wifi 5 GHz (two separate networks) to my house.

  I read on the sleep disorders causing wifi signals and how it can cause generally negative effects be exposed continuously to EMF signals.

  What I'm wondering is it would be harmful to my AirPort Extreme to put it on a timer plug (ELS https://www.amazon.com/Enover-Programmable-Digital-3-prong-Appliances/dp/B0191ZG/ref = sr_1_2? ie = UTF8 & qid = 1469557186 & SR...) so that I can program it to turn off the power to the router around 11:30 and turn it on again around 06:00; eliminating privileged exposure to EMF for me and potential customers during the hours of sleep?

  I understand that many of us may be divided or not there is any real effect signals wifi on sleep/general health-it's NOT what I'm asking.

  Everything interests me is whether or not it would be damaging for the router AirPort Extreme to cut the power at night via a programmer power socket and then to restore it again in the morning on a daily basis.  It will shorten the life expectancy of my router?  This will degrade the quality of my wifi over time signal?  Thank you in advance for the answers!

  "What I was wondering is it would be harmful to my AirPort Extreme to put it on a timer output so that I can program it to turn off the power to the router around 11:30 and turn it on again around 06:00; eliminating exposure to EMF for me and potential customers during the hours of sleep first? »

  The debate about so consistently turn a device and off is better or worse that just leaving all the time has happened since household electronic appliances were introduced.

  One school of thought argues that constant power down and the cycle puts more emphasis on the electronics inside that just letting the device at any time and this extra stress can lead to a shorter life for the product.

  Another school says it does not matter as the power on and off the power of everyday, or has left the whole time that the life expectancy of the product is concerned.

  Make your choice... good arguments can be advanced for or against powering a device works every day. Call him a link if you want, or return a coin.

  Personally, I lean toward the school "let him", if not because the internet connection and network is likely to be more reliable in this way. In other words, if you turn off the airport at night and power it back up the next day, the airport will lose its Internet connection and network and be forced to establish a new connection when it is consumed in back to the top, with more chance of something going wrong.

  Although I leave the airport on almost all the time, if I'll be gone for a few days or more, then I usually turn off the airport if I remember to do it before my departure... to save a few pennies on the electricity bill.

• Airport utility sees my Time Capsule wireless but can't seem to connect to it or to join.

  I recently moved and my new place I had divided the time to be wired into my Mac Mini Capsule.  Unfortunately, my modem and the time Capsule should be in the living room and my Mini Mac in another room (office).  I tried to connect or to participate in the TC with nothing doesn't.  I have reset the TC, restarted the MM and nothing.  Airport utility see the TC, but can't join her.  Any form of guidelines and suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.  DannyOkie.

  If you reset the Time Capsule (TC) properly holding the reset for 7-8 seconds button, releasing one allowing a full minute of the CT to restart... and... "or have a connection by Ethernet cable from your modem to the WAN" O "port on the TC... then the AirPort Utility will not 'see' the TC again until you put up again.

  To do this, you click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen of the Mac and are looking for a list of the new AirPort base station. Just below this list, you would click on Time Capsule to get the 'Assistant' Installation running.  The example below shows an AirPort Extreme as the new device, but you will see Time Capsule on your screen.

  

  When the configuration "Wizard" opens, it will take a few seconds to scan the network and then propose the correct configuration for you, with a screen similar to the one you see below appearing.

  

  Click next to start the process, and then follow the guests to name your wireless network name the TC, set up passwords. Once you have updated TC up and running, AirPort Utility will display the CT if you need to make changes to the settings.

  You just set up the new TC and plug the old TC... copy the sparsebundle existing old TC to the new... but we do not recommend to do this.

  It's much better to start a new backup TM on the new TC and keep the old one for several months until you have a fair story and if you need never old file the chances you decreases considerably with time.

• How to reset the password for the system administrator for Time Capsule?

  I need to do a system restore to 2008 MacBook my wife of my 2014 Time Capsule, and I'm stuck at the system administrator password prompt. It does not accept the password to base such as revealed by the Airport utility station > base station > show passwords on my MBP, which is able to save and enter Time Machine, even if the TC is configured to use individual accounts rather than a single disk password. I'm nervous about any base station reset option in case I spoil my backup. How can I me?

  Although TC is configured to use individual accounts rather than a single disk password

  You must use the right of the user and the password in this case. NOT the password from the drive.

  I'm nervous about any base station reset option in case I spoil my backup. How can I me?

  Reset complete... It will not damage the backups somehow... It simply returns to the default values.

  Let me recommend to you if you want to continue using the TC in this way... (useless IMHO). Please do an export of the configuration before factory reset you.

  

  With the help of user and passwords in the TC is near useless. It only affects the side of the router...

  If you need more security using encrypted backups... but the reality is... the security more you add less useful the backup is likely to be. As you have now discovered... When you need it... you need as clear and clear as possible.

• Airport utility cannot find Time Capsule

  Airport utility can't find my Time Capsule.

  I tried to reset (factory settings) several times and then reconfigure TC.

  It works for 2 minutes; the led is green and the TC is visible in AU - but while time Machine is looking for the disc and the preparation of the backup, the disk disappears from the to THE and therefore cannot perform a backup.

  Also, the light is still green after the TC disappears from the AU.

  Could there be a problem with AU?
  Or my TC is all just too old? -I do not know what generation it is, but it's at less than 4 years old, maybe 5.

  I have a MacBook Pro running on El Capitan 2012.

  I hope someone knows how to solve this problem

  Could there be a problem with AU?

  No, Airport utility is very good.

  I have a MacBook Pro running on El Capitan 2012.

  Network problem is common... and it's here... El Capo.

  Or my TC is all just too old? -I do not know what generation it is, but it's at less than 4 years old, maybe 5.

  Possibly in combo with this old CT... What model is the basis... A1xxx?

  Or in Airport utility immediately after a reboot... Hold down the option key and double click on the symbol TC. It will open the summary page with the template at the top.

  Have another go with the installation... See below.

  But tell us what is your provision.

  This modem you... brand / model?

  What the TC set, bridge or router?

  Is the computer connected by ethernet or wireless? Have you tried both?

  Here are my suggestions...

  Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the drive hard in doing so.

  Universal factory reset

  Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

  NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

  The installer the TC.

  And then redo the configuration of the computer with the Mavericks - Yosemite - ElCapo. (MYELCAP)

  1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

  for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

  If the problem is using wireless TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as it also seems to help stop the nonsense. But it can be tried in the second round. IE, plan on a first and second series of changes to fix this... If all goes well... I note other steps can you tour2.

  2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

  3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

  If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC. But it's important for deriving from intellectual property in all directions when MYELCAP do not remember his name for 5 min after a reboot done for poor network management.

  4. check that your share on the computer name does not change... Make sure that it is also in line with the above... short without space and pure alphanumeric... but this change will mess up your TM backup... so be prepared to make a new, full backup. Sorry... keep this one for the second round, if you want to avoid a new backup.

  5 attach the TC disc into the computer manually.

  In Finder, go, connect to the server in the main menu,

  Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever ip of TC is that you made static. It's a default router 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with it unless you know what you're doing).

  You can use the name... SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your name of TC... local is the default domain of the TC and does not change.

  However the names are not so easy as... the IP address nor reliable. They are not at least not in Yosemite. The field can also be a problem if you are not clogged or wireless directly to the Treasury Board.

  6. ensure that IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open network, wireless and Advanced preferences / TCP/IP... and the difficulty of IPv6. link-local only. Do the same for the ethernet if you use it.

  

  It is a lot more jiggery pokery, you can try, but the above is a good start... If you still find not reliable... don't be surprised.

  You may need to do more work on the computer itself. for example, to reset the NVRAM/PRAM/SMC... helped some people. A clean installation of the operating system is also useful if you update installed.

• Airport utility does not Time Capsule

  I recently bought a 2 TB TimeCapsule airport.  The ethernet cable from the router is plugged into the WAN connector and the power is on the Time Capsule device.  I can access internet via WiFi labeled Apple 686555 network device, but the Airport utility cannot locate the TimeCapsule which is 10 feet.  He sees the Apple 686555 network device, but not to join the airport Time Capsule.  The error is very descriptive: "an unexpected error has occurred.  Try again. "Very revealing.  Don't know what to do.  iMac running OS x 10.10 and 6.3.4 airport

  Thoughts?

  The "unexpected error" is caused by a bug in Yosemite.

  Try powering down of the time Capsule by pulling the power cord to the back of the unit or by unplugging the power cord from the wall AC

  Restart the Mac.

  After that the Mac was for a minute or two, switch on the time Capsule and let it run for a minute

  Then try the installation again

• Airport Extreme loses the connection to the home network

  I have an Airport Extreme (AE) with Cox Internet in my house. Version AE 7.6.7 since the end of may 2016, I lost WiFi connection radomly. I had a Cox technician out who finished just change a 'filter' in our neighborhood who feed on other Cox at the reception. He said this analog filter had to be upgraded to a digital filter.  Despite this, my WiFi kept down again. According to other Threads of the community, this problem was solved by putting the IPV6 in AE parameter for "link-local only.  I did this and still it is falling.

  According to a recent post in support of Cox:

  Most of the routers to retail, especially those produced in recent years, are completely compatible with IPv6. Cox has determined that the Apple AirPort Extreme routers, including Time Capsule models, may know Internet connectivity issues when running the firmware released before May 25, 2016. For more information, contact Apple Support.

  To a Moderator: Apple will have an AE update for this problem?

  The moderators of the forum are not questions on a user to user support forum, so don't expect a response from an Apple employee.  Please contact Apple Support directly if you wish to speak directly with Apple.

  Then, Apple has already released the new firmware... 7.6.7 May 25... so it's not the question that you reference in the statement on the website of Cox. Cox was referring to a firmware sooner, like 7.6.4, for example in their declaration.

  We have seen a number of messages from other users of Cox, who reported that the new firmware has resolved connection issues that existed before.

  To find out where the real problem may lie, I suggest that you connect a computer (with the wireless turned off) directly to one of the LAN ports <>- on AirPort Extreme for a few days and keep an eye on the connection.

  Post back your results. Then, we'll know if you have a general Internet... connection problem that could be a problem of modem... or a single wireless issue.  In all cases, it will help if you provide the model number of the AirPort Extreme you have... and... he make and model number of the modem you are using at the moment.
