What are airport devices?
along with my network and other people's networks showing up under airport there is also a section that shows "Devices" and some networks are showing up under devices rather than in the networks sections why is that...i understand why all the other peoples networks show up b/c they don't have closed networks and they are in range...but what is with the "devices" section?
I just jailbroke my iPhone 3GS and installed MyWi to work with my iPad. I also tried it on my MacBook Pro using Bluetooth. After I paired my iPhone and MacbBook Pro together everything worked fine. Now under the Airport Menu I see a separate category labeled "Devices" which is just below where my Home Network is.
My questions is how do I go about deleting this? I've tried everything. I deleted my device under Bluetooth Preferences, quit MyWi, messed around with the Network Preferences and it still appears under the Airport Menu. I even clicked connect but of course that doesn't work since I quit everything and deleted the device in Bluetooth settings. It's not even listed under "Preferred Networks" when you click on the advanced tab. It appears as "(my last name) Hotspot" and is under a tab labeled "Devices"
When I am on my wireless network at home, I cannot print to my printer (via AirPort).When I go to the router and connect with ethernet cable, the AirPort magically detects itself in seconds.I have Windows 7 computers running bonjour and they can print just fine using AirPort.I was able to print fine wirelessly to the AirPort but today it's not working.

I currently have a time capsule which provides the internet connection to my network
Can I plug in an airport express behind all my components in the living room, then plug a 4 port hub into its ethernet port, then plug all my devices into that hub? Will all my devices have a functional wireless connection at that point?
I have a Time Capsule. I'm connected to it for internet no problems. I can connect to it's harddrive no problems. Time Machine connects and writes and disconnects like it should, no problems.
But I need to configure the Time Capsule to change the wireless security settings.
But when I opened up the AirPort Utility, it gives me the "AirPort Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices" crap, and the only thing I can do is click the "Rescan" button, with no avail.
The Time Capsule is literally only two feet away from my MacBook Pro, so signal cannot be an issue here.
I've got an old school mac pro 1.1 (because i'm too poor to afford a newer one) which didn't come with an airport card when I go it. Have just grabbed one out of a Macbook to put in the mac pro. It works, but not as a normal airport card should.
I'm not sure if its an incompatible card, or if i'm just dealing with a software issues. The normal airport menu up by the clock is useless. It just says Airport: No configured, and then has a link to network preferences in system preferences. I can connect to a network, and once its connected it works how it should, but to connect I need to go into network in system pref, then under network name, select Join other network, then show network, then i'll see the list of networks and be able to select the right one. But if I restart, or the computer goes to sleep, it forgets all that information, and I have to go back to the start again and select the network again.
Do you think its an incompatible card, or is there some software trick I can do to get it working properly?
I just installed a new AirPort card into my 2006 Mac Pro and it showed up just fine and I was looking forward to getting it online without using iPhone-tethering. BUT, I just can't get it to find any networks? What might be the problem? I've googled, rebooted, updated my drivers etc etc.

what is the connection for the airport extreme?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a wireless router to use at my apartment. I like the Airport Extreme, but it is a bit pricey. The things I like include: 802.11n The ability to chose between 2.4 and 5 GHz bands (or both with the latest revision) Gigabit Ethernet ports USB port for printer or storage There are, of course, several routers out there that offer many of these features.

I phoned up an authorised Apple reseller in my city (not a proper Apple store) a few weeks ago and they confirmed the necessary part number was MB363ZA/A, and this is what they would install for about �35 (price including purchase of the card).
I try to accomplish to use Airport Express, connected to my stereo, to use to play the songs from my iTunes collection from a PC (Windows Vista).
I have a Belkin N Wireless router which I use for a HP laptop which works fine.
My Airport Base Station Agent does not detect any AirPort Express, wirelessly.
When I connect with a wire from the Router to AIE it is detected, so I think that AIE itself works.
But whatever I do, it does not seem to want to find the AIE without wire.
I want to hook up my Canon Selphy and an external hard drive. What's the best way this can be done? My PowerMac G5 is currently hooked up to an ethernet cable. I notice there's an other one in the back... Could I just wire another cable and stick it in the back of the Airport Extreme Base?
Is there anyway I could add it to the existing wireless, or would I have to create a new one because the G5 doesn't have a airport card inside?
I'd want it to work between my MBP, iBook, and all the other laptops in my house.
I am looking to add some speakers around the house to play my iTunes via Airport Express, any recommendations for a pair under $200 (or close to it)?

I have my PC and my appletv streaming and I wanted to put something in my kitchen as well just wanted to figure out the most minimalist way to do it.
I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to purchase an "AirPort Express power extension cord" separately.
It comes with the AE Stereo Connection Kit, but I don't need the monster cables and it seems a bit pricey.
I've looked on Amazon and the like and can't seem to find it.
I have been trying to do some research on a pair of speakers that I can use around the house. Right now, I just have my iMac speakers and some headphones.
Optimally I would like to have a pair of speakers set in the living room that I can automatically wirelessly stream my iTunes music to.
Right now the only ones that I have seen (via this forum and on the web) that I can directly connect an Airport Express to are the AudioEngine A5. I believe with these you literally plug the airport express to the back of them, if I understand them correctly.
Is there a list somewhere of speakers that are Airport Express enabled or can others provide alternatives to the AudioEngine A5?
Can anyone recommend an inexpensive wifi mono laser printer for use over Airport Extreme from a MacBook running under Snow Leopard?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a simultaneous dual-band AirPort Extreme base station running software version 7.5 and can't find the software install disk it came with. I reinstalled Snow Leopard onto my mini and it has AirPort Utility 5.4.2. When I try to connect to the AEBS, I get a pop-up stating that a newer version of AirPort Utility is needed, but I can't find anything newer than 5.4.2 on the Apple download site. Does anyone know if Apple has the AirPort Utility software that works with this hardware/software available somewhere?

I just got a time capsule and replaced my extreme with it then added my 2 expresses to the network. Was getting 28-33mbps download speeds using speedtest.net to test now i'm getting only 4-6mbps. WTH!!! Also the transfer rate for backing up my macbook to the tc drive is ridiculous!!!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Airport Extreme, with two USB hard drives connected to it. The Airport Extreme shares these disks to my wireless network via Airport Disks.
Upstairs I have an Airport Express, that wirelessly connects to my Airport Extreme downstairs, and extends the wireless network so I get a good wireless reception upstairs.
My problem is, that it does not seem like me Airport Express does a good job of forwarding my 2 USB Airport Disks to the extended wireless network upstairs.
For example, when I use the AirVideo iPhone app to stream video from my USB Airport Disks I get a server connection error when I go upstairs and the iPad/iPhone switches to the Airport Express networks. I cannot reconnect as long as it is on the Airport Express network. If I turn the airport Express off, and thus switch to the poor wireless reception from the Airport Extreme, I can connect to the USB Airport disks again.
The Airport Express is connected to the Airport Extreme in bridged mode.
I have previously time machine backups for two macbook pros on same drive. However, I connect the drive to the airport extreme and although I see the drives and the backups, I can not access the files over Airport Extreme.
Info:MAC Book Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
Just a question for those who have used the Airports. Can a USB hub be used to expand the number of devices the Airport can use? i.e., an external hd, a laserjet, and an inkjet.
