Hello and if all that fails try a reset using a paper clip or a pin -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Kilburn Sent: Monday, October 20, 2014 2:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Strange problem with accessing my airport extreme
Hi, With the computer connected via your ethernet cable, turn off the WiFi adaptor on your Mac. Go back into Airport Utility and see if it's visible. If not, check in the "Other BaseStations" menu to the right of the Networks Scroll area and make sure that Ethernet is checked, then look again to determine if the router shows up. Did you have your AppleID in the Back To My Mac section of the BaseStation pane? If so, you could attempt to connect using the Other BaseStations menu located just after the Networks Scroll area. If it doesn't show up there, then you probably didn't enter the AppleID info for that resource. Later...

I just cant get into configurations. When I put in the base station password, nothing at all takes place other than it saying that it's reading 10.0.1.1 and that's all she wrote. > >> On Oct 20, 2014, at 11:28 AM, Tim Kilburn <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> Hmmm is right. At that point, it should be the BaseStation password that you need. So, after going into Airport Utility, pressing cmd-shift-o, entering the IP Address of the router and the BaseStation password,, it rejects you? I just tested it on one of the Extremes I have here at and it opened as I outlined. If you have the ability to connect with an ethernet cable, give that a try as the direct connection should work for sure. >> >> Later... >> >> Tim Kilburn >> Fort McMurray, AB Canada >> >>> On Oct 20, 2014, at 10:45 AM, Joseph <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> Hello, >>> Hello Tim, >>> Here's the situation thus far. >>> I used command shift o to log into the airport, it displayed 10.0.1.1 but it wouldn't take either my base station password or my wireless password. >>> Hummmmmmm! >>> >>>> On Oct 20, 2014, at 9:29 AM, Tim Kilburn <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >>>> Hi, >>>> >>>> It could have something to do with your network being hidden. That shouldn't matter, but it's a possibility. For now, try connecting to it manually. When in Network, System Preferences, determine the IP address of your Airport. If it's not easily visible on the main page of your Network pane, press on the Advanced button and then select the TCP/IP tab. The router's IP will be listed there. It is usually 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.1.1. When in Airport Utility,, press cmd-shift-o which allows you to access Airports directly. You'll likely need to enter your setup password as well. If this lets you in, then good. If not, I'll have to think harder. In either case, it sounds like a bug report to Apple is necessary. >>>> >>>> HTH. >>>> >>>> Later... >>>> >>>> Tim Kilburn >>>> Fort McMurray, AB Canada >>>> >>>>> On Oct 20, 2014, at 10:03 AM, Joseph <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>> >>>>> Hello Tim, >>>>> When I go to system prefs and network, it has my hidden home network listed as the active network. >>>>> Do you perhaps have any suggestions? >>>>> Thanks. >>>>> >>>>>> On Oct 20, 2014, at 8:57 AM, Tim Kilburn <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>> Hi, >>>>>> >>>>>> Airport Utility is working fine for me either when accessing from within my network or from a totally external environment. Not sure why yours isn't working. The usual situations when I've seen that sort of behaviour is when you're not actually connected to the network that you think you are. For example, your Mac has grabbed signal from your neighbour's WiFi, thus, your Internet works fine but seeing your Airport or Airports is not available since you're on a different network. >>>>>> >>>>>> Later... >>>>>> >>>>>> Tim Kilburn >>>>>> Fort McMurray, AB Canada >>>>>> >>>>>>> On Oct 20, 2014, at 8:12 AM, Joseph <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Hello list, >>>>>>> For some reason, I'm no longer able to completely access my airport extreme configurations. Last Thursday I updated the OS on my iMac and now when I launch Airport, I see internet working normally but I am unable to access configurations. Also the app says that it cant find any airport configurations. Well, that's really strange, because I'm emailing this message through my extreme and it appears to be working just fine. Both ethernet and wirelessly. Just cant access and change configurations. >>>>>>> I'm curious to know if anyone else is having this problem. You know, in a few weeks I plan on purchasing a new time capsule.
