• My Airport express has had a solid orange light for a week. How can I fix this?

  My Airport express has had a fixed Orange light on in for about a week. When I click on it it says "it was part of my network" and to "ensure that it is still in the range and plugged in an outlet."  I tried this - does not change. I unplugged the main base station and then plugged it in. It also did not work.

  My operating system is OS X 10.9.5

  Thanks for any help.

  Sorry, but you can't 'fix' it. A status LED light amber solid that would indicate a power or another failure of the base station. There is no serviceable parts by the user, that you can replace.

  If the product is less than 1 year, Apple will replace the unit for you... or... If you have AppleCare implemented on a registered product, the AirPort base station is covered up to 3 years from the date of purchase.

  If you have an Apple Store near you, take the base station for them. Otherwise, contact the Apple directly to http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ Support

• Flashing yellow light on airport extreme.

  My airport extreme suddenly started flashing yellow.  Internet works fine.  I checked the airport utility, and pop-up 'internet' with the green light next to it.  So why it flashes yellow?

  When you open AirPort Utility, in addition to the Internet world, you should have seen a photo of the AirPort Extreme. If you have not, then turn off the AirPort Extreme and restart your Mac, then put back up the AirPort Extreme and check once more in AirPort Utility.

  The yellow light flashes when an update is available for AirPort Extreme, Apple rejected an update of the firmware a few days ago so maybe it's a clue.

  If the image of the AirPort Extreme now appears in AirPort Utility, click on the image of the airport and a small window will appear. If you see a button to update here, and you want to update your AirPort Extreme, click Refresh.

  Otherwise, find a list of status and click on the little orange dot it for more information on the problem with a suggested fix.

• I have Airport extreme, but need more coverage... is there a solution?

  I have Airport Extreme and need coverage more wide/more strong... it's available somehow?

  Ideally, the AirPort Extreme should be located in the center of your home, so the distance that a wireless signal has to travel to reach the outer parts of the House would be roughly equal.

  AirPort Extreme is set to broadcast 100% of power, so the only way that you will be able to increase the range of the signal is to add one or more airports to "extend" the wireless network.

  my windows vista starts normally until I have pass the user coice screene. After that, I see the cursor but everything is black. What should I do?

  It was probably caused by the removal of any file system as I was scaning the pc for malware and probably deleted some important file. only safe mode works now

  Hello

  No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
  are a few others.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
  Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
  Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

  Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead

  --------------------------------------------------------------

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.
  ALT + DELETE - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is available by
  repeatedly tapping F8 as you start. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC also begins the Task Manager.

• 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!

• Failure of the Airport Extreme and Airport Express

  Airport Extreme not to talk to the device POE from the antenna of radio after a thunderstorm (lightning).  Plug the POE ethernet cable directly into Mac works.  Airport Express lights.  Airport Extreme appears, but there is no internet connection.  A port can be fried on the Airport Extreme?

  Yes, but unfortunately the port that will blow is that ethernet is plugged.

  If it's WAN then you do not have a way to use the airport as a router... only a bridge device.

• Airport Express is no longer connect to Airport Extreme

  OK, it's kinda a complicated question.  For starters, I will describe my current setup:

  Cable modem Motorola-> Airport Express #1-->(Ethernet over powerline)-> Airport Extreme-> multiple Airport Express for AirPlay

  Airport Extreme and Airport Express #1 are put in place to create wireless networks, with different names for 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz frequencies.  I love this configuration because it allows me to play music simultaneously on the four different speakers hooked to my Airport Express units while offering good coverage in my apartment together.  It worked perfectly until two days ago when two of the Airport Express units lost their connection and are now flashing yellow.  I tried to restart the Airport Express and Airport Extreme, but nothing helped.  When I launch iStumbler, it looks like Airport Express #1 and Airport Extreme both create networks of right, but who is the Airport Extreme 802. 11A instead of 802.11n - don't know if it of a problem or not.  I suspect that the Airport Extreme is not working properly because when my wireless connection when you use my iPad near the Airport Extreme, that used to be solid as a rock, is now uneven intermittently.

  Any ideas on how I can solve this?  Thank you very much!

  It sounds like your extreme is the very old Gen1 or Gen2 model without dual band.

  Back to the factory and start over. It's the best way to solve problems... reboot is worth a trial, but in the end, you sometimes just have to redo the installation.

• How to reset the airport extreme to factory default

  My Airport & time capsule are not connected to the modem, saying no dns server is available, however the modem works when connected to the computer. (Macbook) After hours of troubleshooting, I would just restore default settings and see if I can get it going again. Can anyone provide info on restoring the default settings?

  Thank you!

  • Turning off AirPort Extreme for a minute or two
  • In the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme first... and keep taking them for 7 to 8 seconds... while simultaneously you reconnect the power on the AirPort Extreme.  (This step is a bit complicated for most users, because it takes almost 3 hands to do it properly)
  • Release the reset button to zero after the period of detention and allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme back on the way to a slow, flashing amber light status

  AirPort Extreme is now back to the State it was when you took it first out of the box.

• Weak signal with airport Extreme

  Hello, we have an Airport Extreme tour in our condo. The signal is that two of our rooms is low. Is there a way to increase the signal? Not Apple or any other extenders of sale of business or boosters?

  Thank you

  Another extreme airport would be the perfect match to extend the signal of your "main" AirPort Extreme, but an AirPort Express pourrait point be good enough for your application, if the budget is limited.

  Ideally, the second airport would be located in the middle of the area where you need more wireless signal strength and then connect to the 'main' airport using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

  It is possible to have the second airport to extend the first using a Wi - Fi connection... IF... the second airport is where he can receive a strong signal from the first airport.  A good location is at halfway between 'primary' airport and the area that needs more wireless coverage.

  Remember that when you extend wireless like this, there is always a loss of about half of the potential wireless speed on the network, then the result will be a network with the best range, but reduces the maximum speeds.

  The more you have line of sight between the airports, the network will be operated. Or, another way of saying the same thing, is the 'extension' airport to expand the speed of the signal it receives. It can make the stronger... wireless signal but can't go faster.

• AirPort Extreme - set time zone

  Greetings:

  I have seen a lot of traffic on the change of the parameter of time zone in an AirPort Extreme, but I can't find an answer.  It seems that it may be impossible.  There is debate if even a hard reset of the device clears the set time zone and allow it to be reset.  It also seems to be no access to the device to terminal implemented a manual correction.

  I left US mountain for the Eastern US time zone time zone.  I have an AirPort Extreme running firmware version 7.6.7 and use version 6.3.6 AirPort Utility.  My AirPort Extreme needs to operate in bridge, because of the way the Internet is provided by our service.  I use the 'access control Timed"to limit the time that my young children are able to access the Internet.

  It should be a simple matter to define the time zone of my AirPort Extreme to my current location (or so it should automatically and reliably).  I don't know if the bridge mode interferes with the ability of the device to find its time zone.

  Can anyone offer advice (other than to apply an offset from my control access timed two hours time difference)?  Can the Genius Bar at my local store to fix?

  Thank you in advance,

  WILX

  Unfortunately, Apple has removed a number of parameters that they feel that the users do not need. Setting the time is one of them.

  Finally, your airport will have the exact time, but it usually takes about 6 weeks for that to happen.  Until then, you will need to manually adjust the access delay settings to compensate for.  When the time of the correction is made, then you have to adjust again timed access.

  We have seen some reports from users who claim that resetting the airport to return to the default settings and then setting them up again will fix the issue of the time, but it has not always worked when I tried it.

  If the 'genius' can solve this problem quickly, then he won the title.

• Airport Extreme control app won't load on EL Capitan

  Two questions really.  I was looking for a complete manual for the AIrport Extreme, so I could find our wha that the capacity is before, I bought.  All I could find were manual installation.  Same story when I rang Applecare. It appeared that the only way to access the settings needed to run the application.  I downloaded the app and try to start it upward, hoping that it would require not just to know where was the Alex.  It was worse that the one - the app doesn't load, complaining that it was incompatible with my system.

  (I'll point out here that the only reason why I'm running that el Capitan is because of a run-in earlier with support Applecare who assured that the problem should disappear if I installed 10.11.)  It does not and it took four or five calls before I finally made to someone who knoew what he spoke.)

  So my first question remains: how will I know what the range of parameters for an Airport Extreme?

  Airport utility is built into Mac OS... you don't need to download or install any.

  Look under applications and directory of public services.

  But that won't really help you... the airport must be in the network to show you the real details.

  What exactly did you know?

  Let me assure you that the airport has a minimum of controls... really simplified.

  I have a Time Capsule, which is the same as the Airport Extreme, but adds the hard drive internal... to the extreme, you can add a USB drive.

  So here's a few screenshots.

• Can't get the Time Capsule network to see Airport Extreme?

  I have a network set up through my Time Capsule and I want to express with my Airport Extreme, the problem is that I can't get the network to see Airport Extreme - or rather, we'll see, but when I try to connect to it, it starts to connect, and then I get an unexpected error. I tried to restore both their factory settings and did a restore forced several times to the Airport Extreme, but nothing helped. I made sure to affect my IPv6 link-local only, I've even re-created my network several times (always with the Capsule of time as the main base station, but nothing seems working.

  Any ideas would be very useful.

  The Airport Extreme and time Capsule have been purchased during the last month, and I'm under OS10.11.1

  First of all, try to update your software El Capitan to the current version of operation... 10.11.4... which was supposed to solve some of the bugs that cause the message "unexpected error".

  If still no help, try using an iPhone or an iPad for the configuration.  After the back if you don't know how to proceed.
