Hi Folks,
My setup:
- Duplex and using owner supplied WiFi
- Apple TV2 on existing owner supplied WiFi
- Airport Express on existing owner supplied WiFi
- New Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi
What I want to do:
I want to have the Airport Extreme Base Station join the existing wireless network just as the ATV2 and Airport Express did. I then want to plug in my Segate 1TB HDD to the Airport Extreme and use it as a NAS for backups as well as streaming movies from my Segate HDD to my ATV2.
The problem:
I run Airport Utility and answer the questions...
Q1. Select what you want to do with Airport Extreme
A1. I want Airport Extreme to join my current network
Q2. Select what you want to do with the Airport Extreme
A2. I want Airport Extreme to wirelessly join my current network
Select the wireless name and select the security
Confirm the Settings and continue (Update)
The Airport Extreme then reboots and the indicator light just flashes yellow and Airport Utility can no longer find the Airport Extreme. The only way to revive the AEBS is to do a hard reset via the pin hole on the back.
***Update***
I connected the Airport Extreme to my MBP via a network cable and updated Firmware to 7.5.2, reset the AEBS to factory default and ran the Airport Utility again. Now the AEBS has a green indicator light and I can find it using Airport Utility.
Questions:
How do I now access the USB HDD from my MBP?
How do I now access the USB HDD from my ATV2?
How do I access the AEBS at all?
Additional info:
I have no access to the Wireless Router in the owners dwelling
Cheers,
C3M
