I do know that it is WEP security, but if I play back and forth between the two routers (the router and the extender), WPA2 personal comes up as a choice, but if I try to use that I instantly get the "try again" notice. maybe I just need to add the computer to a "white list."īut I thought that if I just started the wifi on the 2002 that when it asked for the router password it would work. I don't recall doing that with the netgear. (I do have the speakers and I don't know what to do with them.they're probably worth more than the computer and the cinema display).Īny thoughts? I remember when I had the airport, I had to specify the actual computer ids for security. I just would like to get some more use out of the computer before I either take the harddrives out and use them for storage or donate. I want to use it to take some photos of stuff in the basement, then upload to ebay that sort of thing, so it doesn't matter how long it takes, etc. To connect online using the airport express or just going through the netgear from the basement computer? It's 2002. The netgear router has two open ethernet ports. I have an old 2009 Airport Express (the little box thing). I have a 2002 quicksilver in the basement. I had to go the "route" (sorry, pun not intended) as I needed to get a netgear extender for the modem signal to get to the back of the house. I have a macbookpro that is online through a netgear router. Just doing some research and maybe you can help with my 2002 computer. If nothing else works, you could ALSO call 1-800-MY-APPLE for support in setting up your new Express. If you struggle with getting the Express set up, then run a second ethernet cable from your iMac to the Express, and try again. There's a lot of good info that can help you on that link that I provided. Choose the new network that you just created, and your mom will be on wireless, too. That will create a network on the Express, which you will be able to see from your mom's MBPro, under the Wi-Fi menu. You SHOULD be able to setup the Express now, wirelessly. You won't connect to your Express, until you create a wireless network, by following the setup steps in the Airport Utility.Ĭonnect your Airport Express WAN port to your cable modem (with ethernet). You'll also see a list of your available networks. You should have the Wi-Fi icon in your menu bar, and you can click on that menu to make sure that your Wi-Fi is turned on. Go to your System Preferences/Network pane, and click on Wi-Fi (or Airport on older Mac systems), and make sure the box "Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar" is checked. Sure, you have a built-in Wi-Fi card in your iMac.
