Hi Friend
If you are using a Mac laptop then yes there is a way. on your MAC laptop there is a wireless switch to turn off and on the airport. You can use that to turn off the airport from outside.

You need to make sure the wireless card of the Dell is set to the same settings of the Airport. Also, try to ping the Dell under the ipconfig command. If you still have no connection, then you have a problem with the wireless card.

This depends... Reaching them wirelessly may be unreliable for a number of reasons, so, I'll proceed on the assumption that you are attempting to test in the simplest lowest-variable situation:
First, make sure that you have the latest Airport Utility for your Mac.
Connect your Mac to the Airport via a single Category 5 (or 5e or 6) cable. Factory-reset the Airpot and then wake up the Mac. If the utility still can't discover your airport, it's probably time for a trip to your local Genius bar as you most likely have a hardware problem.
Lather, rinse, repeat for each of the two airports.

AirPort Card Information:

Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.4.8.0


this info can be found in apple/about this mac/more info/system profile/airport card

MAC address filtering is used to prevent unauthorised people getting access to your wireless network. you need to get into the Airport Extreme configuration using Internet Explorer or any other browser, then select wireless setup then MAC address filtering. You need to turn off MAC address filtering.
Check your manual on how to configure your Airport Extreme.

Make sure your ADSL router has wireless capability or wireless function. Verify that from your Internet Provider. If your ADSL router doesn't have wireless function, you need to buy a separate wireless router then cascade it to your ADSL router, from there your airport must be working fine.

Yes better get a new wireless card if there's a airport that can be connected via USB that will be better..

Good luck....
