6753 error at Airport config util

Hi,

When trying to configure the Airport Extreme base station, after typing the password 'public' I get an error message.

Mac or PC, doesn't matter. On the PC this error message is 6753 (error occurred while trying to access the base station).

I have never configured the Airport before because I just can't access it with the configuration utility.

Have searched many forums, just can't find a solution.

Thanks,
Ruben

Bobw says it could be the proxy settings in IE

I've checked that site but I couldn't find a solution there. I don't have any proxies enabled. Moreover, on the Mac it doesn't work neither.

I will check the error message on the Mac tomorrow.

Thanks for your reply anyway

Same problem unknown error 6753 w airport express

Hello,

I have the exact same problem, haven't configured it yet and it won't let me. After entering password "public" it says unknown error (-6753) .

How did you get your airport to work. I too cannot find any info on other forums so your help would be greatly appreciated,

Matt

There are two possibilities:

a) Something's really messed up, and you need to total-reset the base station, so the password "public" is correct again. (See manual for reference on how to do that.)

b) The network you're accessing, although it shows up with an expected name, is actually a neighbour's network, of which the password has been changed. There are some funny stories happening all over the world with that.

Still stuck

I tried doing a factory reset with the apple support guy on the phone and it wouldn't do it, so he said probebly a hardware fault. Took it back got a new one and exactly the same problem, so I think the AE is fine.

Definately not neighbours as the network only shows up when I have my AE plugged in.

Still stuck, am ope to any sugestions,

Thanks in advance

Matt

Well, the error message stopped and everything started working as normal. I'd still like to know what that was because it shut down my whole network.
