![]() I have tested this setup with four different Radio Modes all with WPA2 personal security protection. As soon as the Airport Status is fully on, the signal strength/graph is drawn for each Client and the MAC addresses appear connected to your network. If you previously have clicked on “Advanced” in AU, then “Logs and Statistics” followed by “Wireless Clients”, a blank display is shown. Now Mac OS requires your Name and Password in the next menu. The following menu asked for the stored items in the keychain to be used. Click on the name of your selected network. If you change “Profiles:”, shown at the bottom of the Airport Utility menu, after clicking “Update”, the selected profile appears grayed out in the status menu bar. Other previous entry’s in Airport’s four sub menu’s are not effected. The AE Password of the Base Station needs to be re entered. Now go back to the above solution and complete the sequence. The processor immediately generates a new Preference for Airport. Grab it and put it into the trash, wait with flushing. Open the Library, open the Preferences, select: .plist If you still can’t get to the profile, do the following: Pressing “Manual Setup” in the Airport Utility now takes just two seconds for the Profile to appear ! System Preferences requires that you type your password. If you now want to turn Airport Express ON or OFF the following menu comes up: The conclusion is that the software of the A1264 requires a password in order to proceed. Ticking “Manual Setup” in the Airport Utility then took a long time before the progress spinner stopped and reported the error code mentioned above. ![]() The last item was previously not ticked by me and probably by most other users too. Most important is that you tick: Require Administrator password to control Airport Tick: Disconnect from wireless networks when logging out Tick: Remember any network this computer has joined Your Network Names and security detail appears. In the Advanced Network menu are 8 sub menus, click “Airport” The Network menu pane “Airport” should be highlighted blue. Open Airport Status in the menu bar and click “Open Network Preferences”. However, obtaining the profile can still be a hit and miss affair though. ![]() ![]() The AE base station appears in the AU, press “Manual Setup”. Release the reset button and plug the Ethernet cable back into the port of the AE. Press and hold down the reset button while turning ON the power, keep reset button down until amber status light start to flash rapidly. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the Ethernet Port and turn OFF the power to to the AE. The following reset procedure works reasonably well by using a separate mains extension lead with switched sockets: I use a mains extension board, mounted horizontally and facing forward on the top level of the computer desk which also houses the printer. Plugging in the AE in a mains socket mounted at low level on a wall, while holding down the reset button is impractical. ![]() Improvements mentioned by a person in the Apple Discussions helped a lot. The way round this was to apply a reset mode described on page 33 of the setup guide but did not really get you back to the “Profile”. This was not the case with the previous AE type A1088 using 802.11g. eventually produced an error code (-6722). After an AIrport Express base station was set up, it became generally very difficult not to mention frustrating to get back to the Airport Utility “Profile”. ![]()
