subject:"airport"

HI Daniel

Yes I am very grateful for your help, thanks very much.

One thing that Im not sure about is my 'outgoing mail server' setting as I just 
tried to send an email and it says cant do. I just cant remember what it was as 
I didnt check beforehand. It is trying with 'Bigpond' but Im not sure if that 
was it as my account is now with Telstra?

Would the details be in the copy of the config settings on my desktop or 
perhaps on my ipad where I had sent the email to you?

Best regards

Chris

Thanks Chris for the update. Glad that worked.
Sounds like you just had a corrupted network setting, so removing those files 
has fixed it.
That's always good when that one works, as it then means you don't have a 
faulty Wireless card (never good fun) :o)
Glad you can do your work again,..always important :))

Kind regards

Airport and connected to the wireless network!! Yay I can now do my work

Thank you both very much for your great support for this problem and many 
others that you assist with. It has made my day!

Re: Macbook pro Airport

Hi Ronni

Thanks so much for sticking with me on this, I really appreciate your effort as 
it is bad timing with possible work coming up!

In answer to your recent question, yes I have selected Make service active.

I know the modem/router is working as can access it with this iPad and my 
iPhone, as I was wondering the same thing as you.

It really is mysterious Ronni and I'm now wondering if the Airport system needs 
fixing/replacing? I hope not as I haven't got a lot of time. Would things 
improve if I updated to Mavericks?

I just noticed midway in the Network Preferences window: '802.1X: WPA: Health' 
and a button with 'Connect'! Should I click this or leave as is?

Best regards

Chris

Re: Macbook pro Airport

2014-05-21 Thread Daniel Kerr

Hi Chris

Another thing you can try to see if it "corrects" it, is the following.
(Please note. Removing this folder will "reset" your Wireless networks, so it 
will clear the list if you have any other wireless networks that you used to 
join automatically. The passwords should still be there (in Keychain) but the 
list of networks, will be gone. So you may need to join them again manually 
down the track).

Go to Macintosh HD then Library. (note, this is the main Library, not your User 
Library).
Go to Preferences.
Look for a folder called "SystemConfiguration".
Move this to the Desktop. Note it will make a Copy of it more then likely, so 
once you know there is one on the Desktop, Drag the one in Preferences folder 
to the Trash.
Once it's gone from that folder, Restart the computer from the Apple menu.
Then try joining your Wireless Network as per normal.

See how that goes and let us know.

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: Macbook pro Airport

Hi Ronni

I tried your suggestion to delete then add a new wifi option and that went 
well. It shows the greyed-out icon in menu bar. I then turned on the modem and 
1438 showed in the top menu list & the Network preferences list.

However when I go to select it in the Network preferences pull down menu 
adjacent to 'Network Name' it doesn't or can't actually select it. It just 
shows 'No network selected' which is weird?

Something is not right!?

What do you think?

Many thanks

Chris

There is a padlock symbol at the bottom of the Network window, that you need to 
type your Admin? User Account Password to unlock. But beside the Network Name: 
there should be the name & arrows (to select any other Wi-Fi network within 
range)

You selected the Wi-Fi in the left column of Network window, then clicked on 
the small cog at the bottom - "Make Service Active" is selected?

What model Telstra Modem/Router is it?
Can you login to the Telstra Network via Ethernet cable connection to check it 
is working?

Re: Macbook pro Airport

2014-05-21 Thread Ronda Brown

Hi Chris,

Have you connected to this Telstra wireless network before without any problems?
You don't have an Airport device attached to the Telstra modem/router?
Is the Telstra Wi-Fi Network showing in System Preferences > Network - Network 
Name?
If so click on Advanced - then TCP/IP , let me know what info is there please.
Are you sure you have the Wi-Fi Service Active in System Preferences > Network?

You could try below:

1. Go to System Preferences and open 'Network' - or click your Wi-FI icon in 
Menu  bar and select 'Open Network Preferences'.
2. Click your Wi-Fi on the left hand side list, and then click the small cog at 
the bottom of that box, and click 'Make Service Inactive'.
3. Once you've done that, click the minus to delete your Wi-Fi as an option 
from this box.
4. APPLY!!
5. Restart your computer, without any Wi-Fi configuration setup
6. Once restarted, go back into System Preferences > Network, and use the + 
button to add a Wi-Fi connection back into your computer.  

With any luck, you will be able to click on 'Turn Wi-Fi on' and it will 
actually work!

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Macbook pro Airport

Hi Ronni,

Yes I re started mbpro and a dialogue box appeared with Telstra 1438; I 
selected then typed in password and it showed not connected. I repeated with no 
change.

Still no ability to select from the airport menu or to close it?

Many thanks Ronni

Chris,

You did "Select" the Wi-Fi Telstra 1438 Network in the list under the Wi-Fi 
icon in the Menu Bar?
It must have a tick beside it for you to connect.

I did what you suggested. Telstra 1438 shows in the pull down list but airport 
remains ghosted out after it scans. The signal is good. I still cant turn

Airport Express for Sale

2014-05-01 Thread Stephen Chape

Hi folks,

This is an AE that my step daughter no longer requires.
Power cable is a little chewed by a guinea pig, but still working.
I told her I would sell it for her for $20.00
It is the flat square type that I think is still current.
So if anyone is interested please let me know.

Re: Airport express

2014-04-03 Thread Stephen Chape

If you don’t have a smart TV, you could use it in the Ethernet Port of your TV 
or DVD Recorder.
Just choose to set up as an addition to existing network.
This way if either of them have internet capability you could make use of it.
In other words as an Ethernet Bridge.

I know it works because I tried it in my home.
So I am now going to set it up for this purpose at my grand children’s home.
But for some strange reason it WILL NOT work at my mother’s home (She does not 
use a Mac).
I think because the Windows version of Airport Utility is a bit quirky !! (As 
is everything Windows in my experience)

2014-03-27 Thread Stephen Chape

Hi Ronni,

First Question: Yes. Once it was added to my network, I took it to the DVD 
Recorder in another room and it worked fine.

I set it up at my mother’s in Client Mode.
But then when I plugged it into her DVD Recorder in another room I just got the 
flashing orange light.

I just had a thought - is it possible that it would still work if I then tried 
to set up the internet on the DVD Recorder ?
Even though the light has not gone green.
Once I saw the flashing orange light I did not proceed any further !
Should never ASSUME eh ?

If you setup AE to join the existing Wi-Fi network in Client mode as you 
mentioned you did in a previous email.
In client mode, the AirPort Express is used exclusively by the device to which 
it is physically connected. 
It won't extend the range of the Wi-Fi network, meaning that other devices, 
such as computers, cannot connect to it wirelessly.

While in client mode, AirPort Express with 802.11n will be able to use the 
Ethernet port to pass Wi-Fi traffic to a device connected to the Ethernet port.

Your iPhone uses the 2.5GHz band not 5GHz.

Re: Will an Airport Express do this ?

Hi Ronni,

I first added the AE to my own WiFi network using Airport Utility (that went 
fine).
I then followed the instructions to set up Internet Access on my own DVD 
Recorder as a test (as Brian suggested).
That worked fine and I was able to watch iView etc on my DVD Recorder.

I then took the AE to my mother’s home.
I downloaded & installed Airport Utility for Windows on her PC.
I then reset AE to factory configuration and added AE to her WiFi network (a 
little more work than on mine - Windows I guess).
Everything at that point was fine, green light on AE etc and showed up in 
Airport Utility.

Then I unplugged and went to her lounge (the next room).
Each time I plugged into power I got a continuous orange flashing light.
Tried this 3 times but same result.
Took back to her study and plugged in = green light.
The AE seems to lose track of her WiFi once in her lounge room.
Yet my iPhone picks it up all over her home.

Just wondering if the AE needs a much stronger WiFi signal than my iPhone 
perhaps ?

Re: Will an Airport Express do this ?

On second thoughts Peter.
I do know this setup works because I tested it first on my own DVD Recorder.
And that is using a Telstra WiFi Modem, not an Apple product.
Worked like a charm - I got iView without any problem on the DVD Recorder.
Now that I have it added to my mother’s WiFi network at her home, I just need 
to get it to pick up the WiFi in the next room !!!
I will give it one more try next time I am there. If it’s a NO she has other 
more cumbersome options.
Just trying to keep things simple for a 94 year old.

Re: Will an Airport Express do this ?

No. It is connected by ethernet to my mother’s DVD Recorder in her lounge room.
But now you have given me food for thought Peter.
When I thought it was using her WiFi in her study did I still have it connected 
by ethernet to the modem/router ?

Just to be clear: The AE is NOT connected by ethernet to your daughter's 
modem/router in her bedroom? You can see only one WiFi network (and there are 
no hidden SSIDs)?

I have a very similar setup: I cannot extend the WiFi network created by my 
Telstra Cable Modem (Netgear) using an Apple Time Capsule (essentially an Apple 
Airport Extreme). The TC is bridged to the Netgear via Ethernet so it can share 
the same LAN settings, but it creates its own separate wireless network. I now 
have an Airport Express extending THAT network in the family room, tethered to 
the Foxtel IQ and an Apple TV (that's another story). For the first time in its 
frustrating life, we are now able to get an IP address on the Foxtel IQ. That 
never happened with the Netgear WiFi extender I was using before.

Re: Will an Airport Express do this ?

Hi Peter,

I am actually trying to use the AE as an ethernet bridge for my mother’s new 
Panasonic DVD Recorder.
She has expressed an interest in using the recorder to also watch ABC iView.
The Recorder has an ethernet port but no WiFi.
The AE I am using is one that my step daughter no longer requires; not the 
latest but the small flat square box with power cable.

I have managed to set it up so that it is now using her WiFi.
The problem now is that when I take it from her study and power up in her 
lounge (only one wall between), it no longer picks up her WiFi network.

However my iPhone picks up her network anywhere in her home.

Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions.
Yesterday I left it plugged in and connected to her Recorder for now with 
instructions to let me know if the orange light stops flashing and turns green. 
But no phone call yet.

Any suggestions would be most welcome ?

The AE will only extend the WiFi from another Apple device, eg another AE, 
Airport Extreme or Time Capsule. It can only extend the network of the D-Link 
as an ethernet bridge, not wireless.

AirPort Express: How to join an existing Wi-Fi
network in client mode
Learn how to join an existing Wi-Fi network in client mode.

Languages English

Some Ethernet-enabled devices, such as game consoles and printers, as well as some compatible USB printers,
don't have a built-in Wi-Fi interface. If you would like these devices to connect to your network over Wi-Fi, you
can use an AirPort Express to act as the bridge.
Additionally, client mode can be used for AirPlay music streaming from a computer running iTunes to a sound
system.
Simply connect the appropriate cable (Ethernet cable between the device and the AirPort Express, USB cable from
a compatible USB printer, or audio cable for music streaming), and configure the AirPort Express for client mode
using AirPort Utlity.
Notes
In client mode, the AirPort Express is used exclusively by the device to which it is physically connected. It
won't extend the range of the Wi-Fi network, meaning that other devices, such as computers, cannot connect
to it wirelessly.
While in client mode, AirPort Express with 802.11n will be able to use the Ethernet port to pass Wi-Fi traffic to
a device connected to the Ethernet port. However, the original AirPort Express 802.11g doesn't support this
feature and will disable the Ethernet port. Only compatible USB printers or audio devices are supported.
To use any of these features, you will also need the appropriate Ethernet, audio, or USB cable to connect the
device to the AirPort Express.
Before you begin, make sure that your AirPort software is up-to-date. You can download the latest version for
Mac or Windows from the AirPort Support page.
Using AirPort Utility 6
1. Connect an appropriate cable between the AirPort Express and the device it will serve.
2. Plug the AirPort Express into a power outlet.
3. After the AirPort Express starts up, select it in the AirPort Utility screen.
4. If you are now repurposing the AirPort Express, first reset it from Base Station in the menu bar and select
Restore Default Settings.

After the AirPort Express completes the restore process, choose it from the Wi-Fi menu in the upper-left
corner.

Click the Other Options button.

Select "Add to an existing network".

CHoose the Wi-Fi network name from the Wireless Network Name menu that you wish to join and click next.

Enter the password to this network if required.

Using AirPort Utility 5

Connect an appropriate cable between the AirPort Express and the device it will serve.

Plug the AirPort Express into a power outlet.

After the AirPort Express starts up, select it from the Wi-Fi menu, and then use the Setup Assistant in AirPort
Utility to set it up.

If you are now repurposing the AirPort Express, first reset it from Base Station in the menu bar, by
selecting Restore Default Settings.

Select the AirPort Express in AirPort Utility, and then click Continue.

Enter a name and password for the AirPort Express, and then click Continue.

Select "I want AirPort Express to join my current network", and then click Continue.

Select "Join my wireless network," and then click Continue.

Select your Wi-Fi network name from Wireless Network N

No, it won't. Neither will the Time Capsule. Either device will work in bridged 
mode when connected to the non-Apple device by ethernet, but that defeats the 
purpose somewhat. OTOH, Apple's proprietary solutions are powerful, robust and 
reliable by way of compensation.

Looks like I may have to look for a non Apple WiFi Bridge.
Or just find which article I dumped gets iView for her (they are still in her

I will let you kind folks know if I go ahead with this or find a solution.

Hi Peter, I've got an Airport Express set up in extended mode, thanks to 
Ronni's instructions from my Time Capsule. Not sure if the AE will extend from 
a non-Apple device. 

Regards

Pete

Yes, Peter you are correct (as if you are every incorrect ;-)
The only way to "extend the range" of a non-Apple base station with another 
Apple base station is to create a "roaming network".

Which means you need to use Ethernet cables in order to expand the wireless 
network.
That is the "roaming network" described here:
 
Wi-Fi base stations: Setting up and configuring a roaming network (802.11 
a/b/g/n)

My understanding is that an AE will extend a WiFi signal, but only one from 
another Apple device, eg another AE or an Airport Extreme. I'd love to be 
corrected on this.

2014-03-08 Thread Stephen Chape

Ta Ronni,
That part might be OK.
It’s getting it on the internet that I need first.
Google searches seem to show that I need an Ethernet Bridge.
I might make a trip to Dick Smith tomorrow …. AARGGGHHH !
I checked with Harvey Norman, JB Hifi and Macs 4 Us with no luck.
Except that HN wanted to sell me a twin pack ethernet power plug kit of some 
sort for $150.00
Looks like the AE could be worth trying first - I will borrow it from my step 
daughter if possible.

Re: Will an Airport Express do this ?

2014-03-08 Thread Stephen Chape

Hi Allan,
The one I was hoping to try is with my step-daughter who no longer uses it as 
she has a wifi modem.
But I think it is about 2 years old.
I need something that will receive the WiFi signal then use an Ethernet Cable 
to feed to the DVD Recorder.
I am not sure if an AE is built to do this ?
And if it is how to set it up ?

Hi Stephen

What model Airport Express do you have?  I have an older (vertical) AE and I 
recollect that the Ethernet port is a “line” only connection.  You can plug an 
intenet modem into it, but you can’t extend the ethenet home network “drop” 
side.  That is, the DVD recorder may not connect the way you want.   There have 
been newer model AE’s since mine, which may have the functionality you want.  
Worth checking, I think.

Alan

Hi Stephen

Is this a Panasonic Blu-Ray DMR-BWT835 or 730?
You have set up the internet access? Yes?
Page 17 of the instruction book - suggests a wireless LAN connection.
See page 20 for 'Easy Network Setting'.

If so there is an internet button on the remote, under the channel up and down 
button that brings up some apps, one is iView.
See page 68 in the instrucition book, it is quite like the Appletv and you only 
need to use the arrow button and ok, so easy to use.

I just tested it!

Thank you very much Peter - that is most kind.
However I will try all other portions first.

Re: Problem with Airport Express ?

2013-07-24 Thread Ronda Brown

Hi Stephen,

Is it a blinking amber light or solid amber light?
Have you tried restarting the Modem as well as Airport Express?

Also Open Airport Utility, locate your Wi-Fi base station and double-click it 
to open the Summary window.

In the AirPort Utility window, locate your Wi-Fi base station and double-click 
on it to open the Summary window. Note: If you have more than one Wi-Fi base 
station, double-click on the icon for the Wi-Fi base station that has the amber 
circle next to it.
When the Summary window appears, double-click the amber circle to the right of 
Wi-Fi base station Status to open the Status window.
The Status window lists any conditions that require your attention. Respond to 
each item until there are no more items listed. 
Important: You must reset the Wi-Fi base station 
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728> using the reset switch to re-enable 
checking for the conditions you ignored. 
  Eliminating the blinking, amber status light may require making changes to a 
specific setting, or putting a checkmark in the "Ignore" checkbox beside any 
option you don't wish to change. A checkmark simply tells the AirPort that you 
are aware of the issue and you have chosen to ignore it. For example, you may 
wish to leave your AirPort open without a password so that anyone can join your 
wireless network.
Click Update to apply your changes (the Wi-Fi base station will restart).
After the Wi-Fi base station has restarted, the status light should be green 
and not blinking. If the status light stays amber in color and blinks after the 
Wi-Fi base station restarts, you may repeat the steps above.
Cheers,
Ronni

Have a spare Airport Extreme that you can try if you think it is the 
device that has malfunctioned.

Usually though Orange light means poor connection - but anyway if you 
wish to take mine and try it you are welcome.

Problem with Airport Express ?

2013-07-24 Thread Stephen Chape

Hi folks,

My step daughter has an Airport Express with her iMac (using Snow Leopard).
Today the Airport Express began displaying an orange light and WiFi stopped.

This happens sometimes with my Airport Extreme and I simply turn off the power 
and back on a couple of minutes later.
It is fine after that.

However this is not the case with her Airport Express.
Switched off and back on a few times and still an orange light & no WiFi.
I have ploughed through the configuration process but lost track of it.
Too much trial & error is very time consuming !

I have transferred her internet connection back to Ethernet for now, so she has 
a connection whilst I tackle the issue with the Airport Express.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated please ?

PS: The Airport Express is only there for her kids iPods and PS3 so no hurry.

Ah that is good to hear Barry.
Might have been an incorrect setting somewhere in the original setup.

Re: Airport Express amber flashing

Ronni

Ethernet cable connected WAN on EA to modem.   No physical connection from 
computer.  
 I have been using an Mk2 AE as my router but I was hoping to eventually use 
this to extend my network so I bought the new AE and have been trying to set it 
up initially just to do the same as the existing AE.   With the existing setup 
there is no direct connection MODEM to EA.

Hi Barry,

You do have an Ethernet cable connected to the WAN port on AE to your DSL modem?
An Ethernet cable connected to LAN port to Ethernet Port on your iMac?

Re: Airport Express amber flashing

Hi Ronni

I Tried the power/off trick as one of the earlier checks, Airport Utility 
reports ethernet cable not connected.   I should have mentioned in my first 
post that I tried another cable with the same results.   I have now reverted to 
the old system using the same ethernet cable.

Regards

Barry

Hi Barry,

Power your Modem Off, wait a few seconds then power it back on.
You might find you need to restart the MacBook Air for it to connect.

If the Amber light is still flashing, check in Airport Utility for errors and 
post back.

Cheers,
Ronni
