Sometimes the airport flashes a solid green light but you still face problems accessing the internet. This situation can be pretty frustrating so to troubleshoot the issue you can do many things on your own like resetting the model, rebooting the network, and using the latest version of the firmware.
These are some of the basic methods that you can apply on your own to help you access other internet. You can also perform a hard reset on your airport extreme to restore the factory default settings and configure it.
If your Airport Extreme is not connecting to internet then you need to configure your device in the following way -
Step 1: First of all, power on Airport Extreme Base Station by plugging it into the wall. After plugging the device, open Airport Utility app.
Step 2: Next, move to the top left side of the screen and you will see the Airport Utility dialog box. After this, tap on “Other WiFi devices” or “Other Airport Base Stations”. Now, click on Airport Extreme that is listed in the displaying list. If it is not listed then wait for a few moments so that it can come up.
Step 3: Move to Network name and then tap on option “Base Station Name”. Note one thing i.e., you have to enter venue name followed by TB.
Step 4: In next step, you have to enter a password that you could remember easily. Again enter the same password in the “Verify Password” field. After entering a password hit Next button.
Step 5: If your Airport Extreme is not connected to the modem then just click on Next button. Just choose the option, “Don’t send”. Again hit Next button.
Step 6: Now, go through router’s setup. When setup process gets complete, you will see a notification. The notification will appear in the bottom right-hand corner, just click on Done. After this, click on the picture of Airport Extreme base station that is present in Airport Utility. Now, Airport Utility will report three errors, just click on each error and ignore them.
Step 7: After ignoring an error, you will see a green light. Once you see three green lights, just click on Edit button.
Step 8: Move to the top side and click on Wireless > Wireless options.
Step 9: To allow a 5Ghz frequency band, just click on the box that is present on the top side. In the present time, 5Ghz is preferable as it provides faster WiFi. Then click on Save button.
Step 10: Next, click on Update.
Step 11: Once green light in your Airport Extreme router blinks, just understand that your device is good to go.
