Apple Airport Extreme error -6753: Dmitry Dulepov

Posted on 17.02.10 23:15

You reset your Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule. You try to connect with AirPort Utility. You get error -6753. You google for it and find that lots of people has this problem but nobody seem to have a solution.

Well, I do.

The solution to this common problem is: enable IPv6 in your wireless network settings (on your computer with AirPort Utility). You will be able to connect to your device. It is because fresh AirPort Extreme (or Time Capsule) use IPv6, not IPv4.

It took me three hours to figure this out. However it is 100% working solution in my case: no IPv6 — no connection to a clean AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.

Enjoy!

Thanks!!! This fixed my issue too! So nice to not have to reset my router just to find out it stopped working.

THANK YOU! Fixed both inability to access Airport AND Airtunes at the same time! You should be working for Apple. I can't believe it was this simple.

Same problem here, now it works again. Could not program the new airport at all without ipv6.
