Launch AirPort UtilityOk, I'm back and in need of more help. I purchased the Airport Express, had some trouble setting it up, and it works now, but only for a few devices; a 2012 MBA and 4th-Gen iPod Touches. The devices that don't include an Apple TV (2011), a 2008 Aluminum-unibody MacBook, a 2007 Mac Pro, and a 2nd-Gen iPod Touch. Anybody know how to fix this?
Automatic isn't one of the choices. You're reading the Channel, not the Radio Mode.Automatic. And my printer doesn't work anymore either.
Strange. Maybe it's because my Airport Utility isn't on the latest version? Because honesty, that's what it says. It says Radio Mode: Automatic, then below it, 802.11a/n - 802.11b/g and 802.11a - 802.11b/g. Which one should be selected?
Neither. It's on Automatic (whatever that means) like I said, but below the selection bar it says 802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n.
Can you take a screen shot and post it? I'm guessing it's that setting that may be affecting the older devices.
Gotcha. While you were doing that, I was looking at specs for your other devices. So far, it looks like your current setting should work for all of them. Does your wireless network not appear at all on those devices?
The network appears on all of them. Full signal strength is shown (only exception is the Apple TV - it won't connect for some reason), but there's no internet. Safari never loads anything.
You have your AE plugged into your modem or router via ethernet? And what does the Internet tab of AirPort Utility show?
I know we're missing something, but I can't think of it at the moment. It's likely something quite simple. You might try searching for setup tutorials on the Apple site, YouTube and other Mac sites. I wish I could be more help, but my brain's pretty fried at the moment... not much sleep lately.
Well, get some sleep! And thanks for the help so far! Hopefully I'll get this figured out soon...
The Ethernet/WAN cables were in the wrong spot, so I flipped those two around, updated the Airport Utility and checked the setting to allow setup over WAN.
Cool! Glad you got it sorted, because I wouldn't have thought of that!The Ethernet/WAN cables were in the wrong spot, so I flipped those two around, updated the Airport Utility and checked the setting to allow setup over WAN.
