WD My Book and Airport Extreme

Hello

I'm having a problem using a new WD My Book with Airport Extreme. I was able to format in Mac OS extended (journaled). If connect directly to my iMac (Yosemite) is mounted and time machine asks if I want to use it as a backup drive. However, when I connect it directly to the AE (USB), its not listed as an option of disc in time machine. I can also see it as a drive under the Airport utility. I want to use it with multiple Macs, so leave it connected to a machine is not an option. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

What version is your AE? Apple it activated only on the last Gen6.

First, mount the drive in finder...

Click on EI in the Finder and see if you can mount the drive.

What OS you run because this changed to El Capo... worse of course.

  • What should I wear to the front with ATT and Airport Extreme?

    I have AT & T Uverse with an Airport Extreme.

    EI is implemented as a bridge, because it wouldn't work otherwise.

    I went into the game/NAT on the router/modem ATT layout and tried to activate some ports to forward.  Then I check the port and find that it is always closed.

    Someone here would be able to offer assistance with problems?

    I do this to try to send large files to a friend VIA files torrent based, although it does not seem to allow me to seed.

    Before ATT I got time warner and my own modem and router combo, and it works wonderfully in this configuration, so I can only the assertion that the issue is somewhere in the new place from the material.

    Now, if I try to download a standard torrent, I have no problem, but try to make my own with the trackers who have worked before, there is no dice.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    ATT system is the NVG599 of ARRIS

  • Connectivity with AT & T-Motorola 3360 and Airport Extreme problems

    Bought a new extreme-Airport (7.7.3) to replace my old AE after 9 years of service.  The installation procedure, but could not get the airport to connect with my modem (Motorola 3360).  Called at & T and they crossed put me the modem in Bridge mode and which seemed to work.  But only temporarily (about 5 hours).  Restart the modem and the airport was not working.  Troubleshooting I tried to plug my MacBook directly into the modem, but even the computer couldn't get an internet connection.  Another call to AT & T and they reconfigure the modem to their end.  After 90 minutes and try everything they could, they have finally admitted defeat and told me that they could not solve the problem.

    However, after a fairly exhaustive search of this forum, seems to be two issues that many people is with Airport extreme.  One is that the modem (in this case a Motorola 3360) is perhaps not fully compatible with the airport.  The AT & T support person was not aware of this until I asked about it, so she did a quick search and was rather surprised to see that there is a lot of people having problems with the Motorola Modem.  She told me that they use no more Motorola modems but ship the 6200 of Netgear.  "All know issues?", I asked.  She sought and, to his surprise, even once, there was.

    So, first question.  Does anyone know a modem that is compatible with the airport or use one that they had to limit problems with?

    The second question prevailing seems to be with the IPv6 protocol.  Anyone know if there are problems with the AT & T IPv6 protocol and the most extreme airport?  I did not disable IPv6 yet to see if that helps.  I thought I'd ask here first.  Couldn't find anything on the AT & T site.

    When I return from the road (great place to go to get away from technology) I will make a new round of full power of all the components and try Setup again from scratch.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Miss all know profanity.

    Thank you.

    Any other relevant information: 6.3.1 the utility Airport, Airport Extreme 7.7.3, MacBook Pro running 10.8.4, modem Motorola 3360, AT & T high speed DSL, shoe size 11-1/2 wide.

    When you have configured the 3360 as a 'bridge', this would mean that the AirPort Extreme should then be put in place to provide the PPPoE connection service. The airports are not known for their reliability in this type of installation... no matter the type of modem that you can select, so I drop this method as a connection option.

    If you want to keep the 3360... and you have time to experiment... then you can set the 3360 to its original default settings and configure the router from the airport most convenient to connect using DHCP in router Mode of DHCP and NAT.  That will produce what is called a message Double NAT, but maybe it's not of concern on a simple home network, and Apple provides you with the option 'Ignore' the Double NAT, so the airport will display a green light instead a light orange blinking slow.

    You need to try this configuration for a few days to see if the Double NAT will be a problem or not, because it is not possible to predict the effect of a Double NAT on a network... you have to test a few days see how things behave.  If this configuration works well, for you, then you can leave it as what.

    Please note that I do not recommend this type of installation, just suggesting it as an option this work could , if you want to keep the 3360.

    How Double NAT affect IPv6, I can't tell, since I did not use att for several years, and I'm not familiar with their implementation. On wired, IPv6 works fine on the airport with Comcast and Time Warner.  We can provide these parameters for you if want, but have no idea how well... (or if)... they will work with ATT.

    If the installation of Double NAT does not work, your best option would be to go there and get a modem/router or gateway to ATT device and then set up the most convenient airport in Bridge Mode works correctly with the modem/router ATT.  You will turn on the routing of ATT function in this type of installation, but the airport can also produce a signal from the wireless network that you can use.  The modem/router ATT will also provide a wireless signal that you could use for guests, or disable the feature, if you do not need two wireless networks.

    This may also be the best option if you want to configure IPv6 as IPv6 of ATT service must be compatible with the modems/routers and gateways.

  • IPv6 and AirPort Extreme Gen 5 connection drops

    My ISP is over native IPv6 but the AirPort Extreme (AE) abandons the connection every 30 minutes or more.

    I've tried different settings IPv6 and the only one that gave stable results is to:

    -Block all the incoming IPv6

    -Allow teredo and IPSec tunnels

    -IPv6 tunnel fashion game

    If IPv6 is set to native, airport utility shows the Internet connection disabled. So far with the tunnel mode, it seems to work. IPv6 - test.com results show 6to4 good feature as well.

    Someone else had problems with the products of the AE and IPv6 settings?

    He would have nothing to do with IPv6, but the problem was triggered by the latter.

    This modem do you have? Brand and model please.

    And who is your Internet provider because your Setup sounds weird... it should not be necessary to the IPv6 block.

  • ARRIS ab6183 and airport extreme

    You just bought a new modem Arris AB6183 cable and have the correct steps by plugging on my airport extreme.  My ISP is comcast/xfinity.

    Unfortunately, Arris SB modems... While good products... and Apple airports... While that good products... do not seem to get along well together at all. The SB6183 is a new model, so we don't have a long experience on this one here, but you can get an idea of the problems with the popular SB6141 here.

  • Extension of WiFi using the Virgin Super Hub and Airport Extreme

    I am trying to expand the network so that I get better WiFi in another area of the House.  I have set up a unit of the Airport Extreme (AE) and through the Airport utility, I see that it is picking up the WiFi network and get the green light.  When I click on the device in Airport Utility (AU) to check the information of the AE is indicating that it is on the WiFi network and the right connection.   None of my devices (iPadAir 2 and iPhone 5) are picking up the WiFi Signal.  However, when I click on change EI is indicating a Base Station.  So clicking on wireless and network Mode, then click on extend a wireless network by clicking on update of the unit could not leave the stand mode.   Very strange!

    Routers Apple do not work as universal repeaters... they extend ONLY other airports.

    You can't do what you want. You MUST connect the extreme by ethernet on the Super Hub... or use adapters EOP.

  • Mitsubishi ductless AC / MiniSplit KUMO CLOUD and Airport Extreme...

    Mitsubishi just came out with an 'easy' solution to allow remote access and control of your system from mitsubishi with your iphone or android...

    Unfortunately it can only connect to a router or wireless access point that has the "WPS" button on it.

    Airport Extreme supports the WPS feature at all?

    This is a link to the datasheet...

    http://USA.mylinkdrive.com/uploads/documents/5288/document/PAC-WHS01WF-E_Product _Data_Sheet.pdf

    I ordered the remote to install myself but try to align my 'how to' if I have an airport extreme.

    Or if I find a lower tech router with WPS function...

    Please note that Mitsubishi has chosen to compromise your network by using and encouraging a method of broken security (WPS) for their cloud of Kumo controller wireless.

    https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Setup

    So for those who are interested in remote access to your unit ductless... beware.

    I am waiting for an official response from Mitsubishi, but I have little hope that they're going to fix anything.

  • Internet connection with XP Pro SP3 and Airport Extreme - possible only Internet with no secruity, WEP - "status is always acquiring network address.

    IMac seen the router and connected flawlessly, Sony Vaio however under secruity always gives me "absorbing the network address", I was looking around and heard xp pro sp3 has problems with wpa2 so I changed the settings for wep on apple Airport extreme and it STILL does not work. If I have no secruity that it picks up the signal from the internet and everything is fine. I tried to update the drivers for the wireless LAN card already, any input would be great

    SOLVED... apparently xp pro sp3 has problems with wpa2, it refuses to connect. I went to settings on extreme airport secruity but wep was not an option, I had to click on OPTION on my MAC keyboard, then click the settings secruity and wep is there, so I removed all the "preferred networks" and restarted the process 'learning' on the vaio and everything's fine.

  • Internet connection with Windows XP, SP3 and Airport Extreme - the status is always "absorbing network address.

    My Airport Extreme connected my IMac immediately, but I am not able to connect on the side PC. Airport utility does not 'no matter what Airport wireless devices". When you check the status of the internet connection with PC tools, the correct network is indicated and shows an excellent signal strength. The status is: "absorbing the network address. However, nothing happens.

    Under 'Repair the wireless network connection', it shows, "Windows is taking the following steps: your IP address renewal" even once, nothing happens.

    Under hardware I show Atheros Wireless Network Adapter and the mention: "this device works correctly.

    Yet, no network connection. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Keep the changes and open the wireless. For example, to disable security in the router (turn on when to managed to connect).

    You can also try the wireless in a friends house, or an Internet café to get a frame of reference for this behavior elsewhere.

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

    Wi - Fi in general.

    These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

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

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

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

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled).

    If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

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

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

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

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

    Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

    If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

  • HP C4780 and Airport Extreme: says "device not connected" when installing wireless

    Hello.  I appreciate any help with this problem.  I searched but I've not found anything exactly similar.  I have a MacBook Pro under OSX 10.5.8 and an Airport Extreme.  I am trying to set up a HP C4780 printer using the HP installation software.  The printer is connected to the Mac via a USB cable for Setup, and all the steps of the Setup routine recognized the printer.  Until... when I get to the part "network wireless configuration" of the process, Setup HP sees my network (802.11n, the type of encryption WPA_PSK) and asks for my password.  After I entered the pw, it runs for about 20 seconds and gives me the following message: "device not connected.  To configure the network settings for the device selected, please temporarily connect via USB. The device can be disconnected from the USB once the network settings are transferred. »

    My printer is well connected by USB, however.  By reading some similar positions, I tried the following: limit the wireless to channell 11, by clicking on the button "allow this network be extended" and disconnect the printer before the launch of wireless setup.  I also tried several bottles of beer, but which only degrades the connection between the keyboard and the seat.  No luck so far.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Connection printer square with Hotspot and Airport Extreme

    Hello

    My family has a joint small pizza and I'm looking to switch our POS system instead. We do not have WiFi, so I was wondering if there is a work around to use the personal hotspot feature, set the AXE to "Join a wireless network" and then connect the printer to the back of the AXE to print receipts and also to use the cash register. This is the kit of POS of the place...

    https://squareup.com/shop/bar-restaurant-iPad-mini

    Maybe get WiFi would be the best solution, but I just wanted to see if this is possible. I have connected the AXE to the personal hotspot, but can not get the printer to be visible by the Setup program in the dashboard square app.

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Your link does not work for me.

    You should be aware that Apple has removed 'join a wireless network' option... it no longer works in all utilities V6 later.

    Even if you use later hardware will not work...

    It works on older when equipment... It has an unpleasant effect...

    The airport becomes a silent client on the network... the ethernet ports have been disabled... the only access was wireless.

    I have connected the AXE to the personal hotspot, but can not get the printer to be visible by the Setup program in the dashboard square app.

    Nothing is plugged in by ethernet will work in this configuration. (USB might work if.)

    Apple authorizes the express be used as a wireless bridge. It is called client mode.

    However, you can buy any other brand wireless bridge... There is no reason in this situation to buy apple products.

  • Y - Cam and AIrport Extreme

    Hello

    I have a SD of Y - Cam black running firmware 4.50, which is the last and the last redesigned in 2014.  I am based in the United Kingdom

    My network is that blank Superhub 2 used in mode modem connected to a new AC AEBS tends in DHCP & NAT mode.  Then I got an another ac AEBS (defined as create wireless network) rather than extend a wireless network to protect as a signal.  I am running the latest version of the Airport and OSX utility.

    I have configured the y - cam so I can connect internally to my network (switching the address IP etc so rather than 192... It is now 10... Etc.

    Problem is that I can't access to this from my iPhone when away from home.  I'm entering my external IP and port concerned, but nothing happens.  I tried to transfer to the front of the AEBS, but this has no effect.  I checked my Superhub that does port forwarding, but it is not selectable as his modem mode.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Problem is that I can't access to this from my iPhone when away from home.  I'm entering my external IP and port concerned, but nothing happens.  I tried to transfer to the front of the AEBS, but this has no effect.  I checked my Superhub that does port forwarding, but it is not selectable as his modem mode.

    If the SuperHub is in mode single modem, then you are correct in that you must not configure port forwarding on this unit, and that your first AEBSac which has NAT and DHCP active is where you would.

    Is the Y - Cam connected wireless or Ethernet to your network? If the latter, to which base station?

  • Drives and airport Extreme Base Station to disconnect after connection to the VPN

    At home when I'm on WIFI, everything works fine. At the moment where I connect to the VPN to do office work, the base station will disconnect and accessible either.

    Any help?

    The problem you are experiencing is perhaps due to the type of VPN tunnel that you use to connect to your workplace. There are basically two types: 1) full or partial) 2. Note: The different VPN clients can use other words, but these are usually options when you set up a tunnel.

    When you use a complete tunnel, all traffic between your computer and the VPN of your working server, through the tunnel. No traffic is allowed on your local network, and therefore, all local resources are not available. With a partial tunnel, your computer data traffic, may as well go through the tunnel and also to your local network. One reason to use a partial tunnel, for example, is that you have a local printer, you need to perform printing. You can be connected to this type of tunnel for access to the documents and then, be able to print on this printer... otherwise, with a tunnel of full, you would print to a printer at your place of work.
