Was on the phone with Apple tried all ways to get it going, internet works fine even have a WIFI printer going fine too.

I even tried to change the HD to another brand to see if that worked. Apple have referred it to their engineers to see if the there is anything wrong with the firmware. Should be interesting what the outcome will be Joined Jan 23, Messages 1 Reaction score 0 Points 1. I Have exactly the same problem. Which model airports? Apple periodically offers software updates called firmware updates that improve AirPort performance, security, and functionality.

Here's how to make sure that your base station is up to date. If you have more than one base station, restart your primary base station last. AirPort Utility shows a graphical overview of your Wi-Fi network and any base stations connected to it. The primary base station Home, in this example is connected to the Internet via your modem or router. If you can't restart using AirPort Utility, just unplug the base station for a few seconds, then plug it back in. To download and install firmware, use AirPort Utility.

If your base station is performing a Time Machine backup or sharing a hard drive on your network, make sure that none of your devices are currently using that drive. Updating an AirPort base station causes it and its network services to be temporarily unavailable. If I were lucky enough for it to be setup in router mode what would I do next?

I have Rogers internet service, a Dell laptop with microsoft xp professional and Apple airport extreme. I can't connect to the internet. Tried Apple, Rogers and Microsoft and no-one can fix the problem.

This happened once before and Rogers fixed the problem by changing something about WPA or WPA2 but I don't recall the details and they can't seem to help. We have rebooted the router and my pc.
