I've had this Airport Extreme base station for about a year and I've been using it without any problems with an iMac, a MacBook Pro, and an iPhone to access the internet wirelessly through my house.
Recently I've been having some weird problems. The base station does not show up on any of my computers anymore. When I plug it into my gigabit switch (which I've been using witthout problems) The green light comes on the Airport Extreme. The green light comes on my switch and is blinking to show connection and activity.
When I try to pull up the Airport Utility on my MacBook Pro, or any of my computers, it says it Failed to find an Apple Wireless device. I am sitting 5 feet away from the device here, and the light it on green. It should be working. I have manually reset the device (paper clip) several times. Still no luck. Airport does not pull up the base station on any of my machines OR in the Airport Utility. I've tried hooking the base station directly to my modem, and just about everything I can. The weird thing is I am getting a steady green light which shows the station should be online, ready and picking up an IP. I've updated all my software for Airport to 5.2.3 (latest).
Any ideas as to what is causing this? Any advice on fixing it? My last resort would be to run out to Best Buy and pick up a cheap Airport Express, and trash this one. Just wondering if this is a common problem, and if it's fixable.
Thanks,
Ward
