AirPort Extreme/Express=No WiFi

Ok, so I had WiFi with my trusty AirPort Extreme...until I installed AirPort Express. Now I have a whopping nothing!

AirPort Express keeps blinking the amber light of death (with internet connected), and will not transmit a signal. {Yes I have troubleshooted this thing over and over again to no avail}.

I have also switched the internet cable back over to my trusty AirPort Extreme, which will give me a green light, which promptly throws my network name into the list of available networks, but there is no signal strength displayed (in bars) and the Mac cannot connect to it.

I hope someone out there in MacLand might have a possible solution before both of these non-working airport devices find themselves flying out the window!

Cheers!

Well considering it works fine with one and not the other, I'd say the odds are you got a bad AirPort Express It happens The only thing I would try (which it sounds like you did) is try to config the Express and Extreme identically and see if it works.

 

cable? DSL? you have restarted your modem when making any changes? Can also try doing a factory reset on the router.. and making sure there isn't any interference on the same frequencies.... like cordless phones, microwaves, home wireless camera surveillance, and many other things...
