Solve a problem by getting an Airport Extreme to join my network.

Greetings,

I have a WiFi network, consisting of a router TimeMachine (primary Base Station), the AirPort Extreme Base Station and expansion of the Airport Express network

I receive notification messages for these devices utility AirPort (Enter Password) - probably updates lately.  I do not know the passwords for these devices because I've had them so long and after initial installation and many updates of OS X I couldn't find entries for them in Keychain Access.

Today, I made an attempt to reset the Airport Extreme to try and go through the installation routine and have the opportunity to create a new password and save it.  First of all, I did a soft reset and then tried a hard reset.  The results were the same for either - one error as follows...  Airport Extreme fits factory currently.  It is plugged in and running with a light orange blinking.  She appears in the WiFi menu as a new Airport base station.  Selecting menu launches Airport utility and a dialog box drop-down connection.  The dialog box States "collecting information on your network - preparation, Joining Airport Extreme and finally"an unexpected error has occurred, try again"there is a very brief message (.5sec) before the last error - try again.»  In my view, that it is said 'Extreme Base Station on your network'.  This could mean that because the TimeMachine works as the main base station, the Airport Extreme Base cannot be joined so that I can Setup/modify it.

Ultimately I'd like to get the issue resolved for all three devices password, but I'm a little gushy now after this attempt

Someone has an idea how to proceed.

Thanks Dave

There are several things going on, but you can fix pretty quickly is the password. It is a piece of information that you should really have - now and for the future. You can reset your password by sticking the end of a paper clip in the back of the airport for more than ten seconds. You will see the configuration on the Airport utility screen. Do not forget your password in the future.  At the end of this operation, you can see a firmware view - to take care of that.

Once your airport is reset, and the password is updated and updates, you can see if there are any problems - if any. If there are additional questions, you can include a photo of the Airport utility screen.

  • Problem with SlingTV through Airport Extreme?

    I have a Motorola SB6141 cable modem, internet of Time Warner and an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (later) for my setup. While SlingTV is not a great service, it was $ 20 a month and gave me what I need and has been much better than that Time Warner was in charge me for the same channels.

    Despite the problems of freezing SlingTVs or what not, for a while it worked. But one day a few months back it just stopped working. When you open the app, it either does not open or just turns and turns to be forgotten and never access the content. But if I try on my phone (Verizon LTE), or another network outside my apartment with the iPad or computer laptop, it works. So at home, I tried to go directly from the cable modem and right in the Apple TV (previously an Xbox) and when I do that it works. So really what it boils down to, is my Apple Airport Extreme Base Station router. If I'm either directly connected to the Airport Extreme Base Station (Apple TV ethernet to the router), it will not work, or if I use WiFi via the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station it will not work. But directly to the modem cable or on any network outside of my home, the service works.

    So in short, something about setting up Apple isn't allowing the Sling TV app to open or work on any device. I even did a rest of the plant and installing my Apple router once again, and the same problem persists.

    FYI - I use Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and all the Apple TV, TV shows, rental movies and content without ever having a problem with opening or streaming. This only happens with SlingTV when you try to access content on any device (iPad, Apple TV, Xbox One, iPhone, Macbook Air) via WiFi or Ethernet via Apple Airport Extreme.

    I tried to provide all the little details that I could. If someone could please provide a solution I would really really appreciate it! Thank you.

    Well first of all try to port forwarding. Slingbox I guess would use a similar to SlingTV montage... Unfortunately when I google for it I see just people having so many questions like you... no rigging, no answer they give up.

    http://PortForward.com/English/routers/port_forwarding/Apple/AirPortExtreme/Slin gBox.htm

    It is the old airport of model, but the idea is correct.

    If you still have questions... There is a major problem... port 5001 is used by the airport for its installation...

    If I run a scan of port of network utility, that you will find that it is already used.

    Port scan started...

    Host port scan: 192.168.2.201

    Open TCP Port: 5001 commplex-link

    Open TCP Port: 5009 winfs

    Port scan has completed...

    My recommendation is to replace the airport as your main router... Something good market like the C5 TP-Link or the WR1043ND which is less than $50US. These routers use UPNP is missing on the airport. Continue to use the airport for your customers to apple as WAP and switch.

    BTW: this is no bad thing because you also have a known problematic modem... SB6121 and SB6141 have major problems... do a quick search and you can find a lot of posts about this.

    TWC has also now use IPv6... that can ruin.

    See the instructions for installation (same as comcast for TWC).

  • I went from BT to sky, how can I get the Airport extreme to rework?

    We had BT broadband to Sky Broadband but I have problems to make the Apple Extreme, etc. to connect or around the House.

    You must deliver to the factory and redo the installation. Apple routers will always remember a lot of their previous configurations.

    But no matter which type of installation you have... have you changed routers and broadband type as well.

    If you have changed of BT router to router from Sky... in both cases, the TC must be in bridge... so another requiring power down and back up again, it should work... Wireless Setup might however need a bit of work.

  • Addition of AirPort Extreme allows a Local network behave strange

    Hello

    At the moment is have this setup at home.

    DSL-> provider Modem/Router-> LAN-> airport of Time Capsule

    The airport Time Capsule is the generation model current 5th A1470 of running in mode Bridge with the router form my provider and implements a wireless network. It all works very well, but in my office working there WiFi coverage is a little low is a desire to grow with another airport.

    This is the configuration of the construction:

    DSL-provider of Modem/Router-> LAN-> airport of Time Capsule-> LAN-> Airport Extreme >

    Airport Extreme is the generation model 1408 5th also running in Bridge Mode and extend the wireless network. When I perform this configuration, the problems start. All devices bad connection to the internet, features are added several times on the network (also the Airport express are added some time because it appears with a (2) after East), in Airport utility, I get constantly disconnected status and it is very difficult to resolve, because I lose the connection even if I'm hard wired to the airport. I can also access devices that have a static IP address as the same router (192.168.1.1) or my home server. Thus, it seems that my local network is malfunctioning.

    When I unplug the Airport Extreme, everything works well again. I searched but not found this problem.

    Thanks for the help.

    Airport Extreme is the generation model 1408 5th also running in bridge and extend wireless networkMode.

    You can NOT extend wireless with the AE plugged into the TC.

    Your choice of plug in ethernet is good.

    Your wireless installation must be to create a wireless network... you can use the same name as the TC's wireless or different... It is totally up to you.

    What you did is due to a loop with the connection by both wireless and ethernet.

    If you want to use extend wireless... much slower option... then you disconnect the ethernet AE of the TC... If the connection is purely wireless.

  • Please let know us if it is practical to use Airport Extreme to extend the network wireless in a big house.

    I suspect that an original device connected to the modem cable... an intermediate device... and there should be a final device in a place further from the original device. I note that tech online article does talk to a wireless network using the 802.11ac signal. Would be grateful for advice on the feasibility of this. I currently have a Time Capsule, Airport Extreme connected my cable modem. I have a ~ 6 600 feet at home with the press on the 2nd story room and the other end of the House.

    You can use Airport Express to extend wireless created by an AEBS. If the AEBS is a model of turn then it supports 802.11ac, but most dishes are not. New the AEX take in charge 802.11ac, but it is of little use if the AEBS model is not.

  • Airport Extreme is not able to join the network

    I'm trying to implement a repurposed Airport extreme in Bridge mode. Before, I was always able to use the "join the network" option, but now it only gives me the option to create, expand or inactive. I have a model a1521 (6th generation) that I have as my main router. I also have an express airport of old I have in Bridge mode. I am trying to add the a1143 (3rd generation) to the right network and put it in Bridge mode. Is intended to be used as a wireless print server until I can move my printer and the 6th gen at the same location. This option has been removed? am just missing something?

    Apple has removed the option "Register" for the AirPort Extreme (and Time Capsule) when it introduced version 6.x of the AirPort with Lion (10.7.3) utility about 3 years ago.

    If you have... or you can borrow for 15-20 minutes... a former Mac under Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with the utility AirPort for Windows installed on the device... you might be able to manually configure the old A1143 AirPort Extreme to 'join' the network using a version 5.x of AirPort Utility.

  • Roaming network 3 Airport extreme

    Hello, this is my second post on the forum.  I have a roaming network 3 AirPort Extreme ACs.  (1) in the basement in the medium floor and a first floor on.

    Now middle and basement floor gives off a strong wireless signal and the home is wired with cat 5e if I have devices plugged into the extremes of import and everything works great.  However the AirPort Extreme is only releasing one, 9 Mbps wireless speed when other airports are clearing of 50-150 MB/s.

    I read on these forums that maybe my channels is getting mixed, but all adverse events are set to automatic for the channels so should I change that?

    Also when my new MacBook Pro connects to what is also a device to AC it still hangs to 9 mob/s.  Now it was getting a few days before when I had my time capsule base station wireless (n) with speed of 50-60, I know this isn't my Ethernet cable in the wall. all the recommendations I would appreciate your

    From your description of the problem, it seems that AirPort Extreme in question, is either misconfigured or is defective.

    I suggest that you first try a 'default' reset on this base station and then use AirPort Utility to set up your mobile network. If this fails to solve the problem, it may be defective and you need to replace.

  • Speed degrades with Airport Extreme

    Hello

    I have an Airport Extreme and need to extend the wireless range to improve the signal - so I added an Airport Express.  Setup was simple and I had no problems.  Firmware is up to date on both units.

    When connected the intensity of the signal is full, but overall wireless performance decreases over time. I have a 100 GB cable connection.  Sometimes it will get between 75 GB and 100 GB, but most of the time that it is of the order of 20-29GB.  When the Apple Express is connected it can go below 10 GB.

    I had the supplier go out and check on the signal of the street in my house and they claim that the signal is very good.  I have read several posts suggesting to change the channel of 2.4 Ghz 11-to-1, so I did.  5 GHz running at 149.

    Should I reconfigure the network so the Express is the main unit connected to the Arris SB6121?  Then set up a WAN to the extreme? Or any other suggestions?

    Thank you

    Extend wireless will slow dramatic wireless... that is part of what extend wireless because of the design.

    In addition, the Express is a slow device... It is not in the same League that the extreme... its absolute maximum speed by ethernet is 100mbit. So it is hardly usable as a primary router.

    I doubt, exchanging the roles of the express and extreme will help even if we can solve another problem.

    The airport the last extreme IE height Gen6 model is not compatible with SB6121 cable modem. There is nothing wrong with any of them... they do not work together. If you just test the express... but are not wireless extend with the extreme... Use ethernet or ethernet EOP (called homeplug United States) on the power adapters... which may or may not work... but when they are far superior to wireless technology extends the installation program.

    Is be another post down 3... It is a common problem.

  • The Airport Extreme WiFi intermittent 2nd generation

    I'm having a weird problem with loss of WiFi on my Apple Airport Extreme.

    My 2nd generation that apple Airport Extreme Base Station began to close its WiFi broad signal several times.  It happens usually after 60 minutes or less works very well.  Power on and the new runs for awhile until it stops again the WiFi.  Green light normally forward either static rest without flickering to indicate data transfer, or it will just dark.  Sometimes it will turn off WiFi and then restart WiFi a few minutes later and appear to be good.  But mostly it just stops and I can, he extinguished/turned on to operate correctly with the WiFi again.

    Airport Extreme is connected by ethernet cable to my modem/router main fiber (which is a different floor home) and it is set to "Bridge" Mode  It worked without any problems and I did no changes to my system.  My ISP did update my modem broadband fiber a few weeks ago to a "Virgin Media Hub 3.0"I understand was made by Compal.»  It seems to work perfectly and I have no problems with speed download or reliability in wireframe.  I was away from home for about a week and was able to access my wireless IP camera remotely via my Airport Extreme with no problems.  The problem started almost immediately on my return, but, as I said, I did no changes to my network.  I have never had this kind of problem before with my Airport Extreme.

    I am running OS X Yosemite on an iMac that is connected by a cable ethernet to the Airport Extreme and seems to work very well even when WiFi is de-energized on the Airport Extreme.  Airport utility reports the airport as current firmware version 7.6.7.

    I used network utility, Fing, and it showed that my Airport Extreme has multiple IP addresses, which seem to conflict with the IP address for my three AppleTV.  I manually changed the IP addresses of the Apple TV to another IP address not conflicting, but Fing always shows that my Airport Extreme has three IP addresses and I still have the problem of WiFi.

    Any other suggestions on a probable cause of this problem or the best way to solve the problem would be much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    The question is the 2nd generation AE is now too old.

    I would say the power supply (external or internal) is dying.

    It service life is approximately 5 years... your must be 8 years old. so the solution is simple... buy a new one... or I'll tell... Newish...

  • 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.

  • Chromecast - Airport Extreme: not casting

    Hello everyone, so I bought a new rMBP and I also had to get the Airport extreme combo all the experience.

    I have a 2015 rMBP, Airport Extreme, Apple TV, iPhone Chromecast 6, laptop computer Dell Windows 10 & 1320c Dell Color Laser printer.

    I've never had a problem before, but after I installed my new router (AE) and connecting all my devices, I do not see tab cast in any of my applications of melting of chrome.   I wonder if apple don't just market talk to chromecast.

    Really, I don't want to have to buy an another apple tv for the living room, I'm fine with the help of the chromecast with my laptop and other applications. Can someone please shed some light on this situation?  I need help and have exhausted all my resources and have not been able to find anything online in reference. Keep in mind, I am very Tech savvy and never had this kind of problem before. So everything is correctly connected, connected, and put in place. Just can't go to my chromecast.  What is a block from the Airport extreme? because it works very well with my Netgear WNDR3700 N600.   Thank you, I appreciate any help on this.

    ---------

    Please check previous post and my reply. He always refers to your question. The only difference is that Google updated list routers include the A1408 AirPort Extreme... which is still not compatible with Chromecast.
