Problem iPhone WiFi Connection to Airport Express with static IP addresses

We have our Airport Express configured on the LAN with a fixed IP. It is not distributing IP addresses, or providing DHCP services; it simply links the WiFi to the LAN.
To connect via WiFi you set a static IP for the wireless device and enter all IP information by hand (IP/Router/Mask/DHCP etc). Laptops can connect fine, and use the network.
The iPhone connects to the wireless network ok (we tried with security on and off), however, it seems to be unable to successfully use the network. Any attempt to browse a web page using a numeric IP address, or regular IP address, fails.
Has anyone successfully used the iPhone on a WiFi network with static IP addresses, and a Wireless access point that also uses a static IP address?

The problem with static IP on iPhone was caused by the IP address being blocked by over-zealous network manager...

  • IPhone 5s connect to airport express but when I play in iTunes no option to pick airport ?

    iPhone 5s connect to airport express but when I play in iTunes no option to pick airport ?

    If anyone would like to know how to fix this, I discovered the answer.
    I have no idea what IPv6 is and I care not, but apparently now, all of a sudden, Apple makes iTunes talk to Airport Express units using IPv6. However, it didnt bother to make the Airport Express units expect this first, so iTunes can see the Airport Express, but it cant talk to it.
    Anyway, I found that you have to manually go into your Mac settings (scary stuff if you are a non technical person like me) and turn off IPv6.
    To do this, go to "Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal"
    type
    networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi  (hit enter)
    Then type
    networksetup -setv6off Ethernet (hit enter)
    and magically your iTunes will talk to your Airport Express units again.
    I presume at some point we will have to undo this as technology moves on and everything uses IPv6, so when that happens go into Terminal again and type
    networksetup -setv6automatic Wi-Fi  (hit enter)
    Then type
    networksetup -setv6automatic (hit enter)
    Thanks Apple for that.

  • Can no longer connect to Airport Express with upgrade to iTunes 10.1

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.1 I can no longer connect to my Airport Express (unknown error-15000). Another computer on my betwork running an older version of iTunes still works on the Airport Express.
    Any ideas? I have tried to uninstall and reinstall airport express with no success.

    Rather than disabling the firewall, try making sure you've got exceptions in it for BonJour. Although the following document is about a different error message, the instructions in there are worth trying. (At step 7, make sure there's an exception for BonJour as well.)

  • Connect to airport express with windows 7

  • Can I assign Airport Express to static IP Address?

    Current setup - Airport Extreme attached to cable modem with 2 hard drives, Airport Express as print server in separate room with USB printer attached (just changed from Linksys with sometimes working NetGear print server). Clients accessing the network: 2 Windows XP, 1 Windows 7, iPads, iPhones, iPods, Apple TV, and sometimes a Mac Book.
    The issue is that we don't keep the printing system on at all times (light switch with Express and printer plugged in); We dont't do much printing, and I print to pdf most of the time. As a result, the Express IP address changes every time it's turned on, requiring me to change the port settings on the printer properties before anyone can print. Is there a way to assign a static IP address to the Express so that I don't become tech support every time someone else in the house needs to print something?

    Is there a way to assign a static IP address to the Express so that I don't become tech support every time someone else in the house needs to print something?
    Yes. The first order of business is to find the AirPort ID for the AirPort Express. You do this by opening AirPort Utility and clicking once on the Express. In the area to the right, jot down the AirPort ID.
    Still in AirPort Utility, now click on the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Click the DHCP tab below the Advanced icon
    Look for the DHCP Reservations area and click on the + (plus) button at the bottom
    Enter a description, for example AirPort Express
    Click the MAC Address button and click Continue
    Enter the AirPort ID in the MAC Address box
    Assign the IP address you want the Express to use, for example 10.0.1.20
    Click Done, then click Apply and the AirPort Extreme will restart
    It would be a good idea to power cycle the entire network as follows:
    Power everything down...all devices, order is not important
    Power up the modem first, then AirPort Extreme, then Express, then devices

  • How do I connect to Airport express with my iMac?

    I am trying to connect my iMac to my Airport Express.

    Sorry, the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule would be in the same boat as far as their USB ports. However, if a multifunction printer is network-ready, meaning that it can connect to an existing network by Ethernet or by wireless, then it could connect to the AirPorts by one of those means and have all of its functionality.
    For example, I have an HP Officejet 6500. This multifunction printer has both Ethernet and wireless capability. I have it connected by wireless to one of my AirPort Extreme Base Stations and I am able to both scan and fax with it from my Macs or PCs in this configuration.

  • Windows does not connect to Airport Express with WPA-Enterprise

    Hey,
    we are using some AirPort-Express stations at our office to provide a wireless network to our staff.
    The APs use WPA/WPA2-Enterprise (linked to a RADIUS-Server) to check the users authority.
    On Macs and iOS devices the connection to AP works fine but if we try to connect a Windows client, Windows shows up the login-screen, checks the password (if you try a wrong password it shows the login-screen again) but then it says that no connection is possible. We also tried it on another laptop (both using Windows 7 Professional), but it still does not work.
    Can anybody help us?
    Thanks!

    This issue is often caused by Windows firewall, and sometimes caused by wireless interfernece. Try disabling the firewall or other anti-virus software. You can also directly connect you AE to your computer via ethernet to access the configuration.
    If all else fails, you have hard reset the AE device and reconfigure.

  • Connect airport express with rj45

    my internet connection is using a rj11 "phone cable", how can i connect my airport express with it? once i plug it into my AE it seems that my fixed line is "in use" and i don´t have internet signal on it.

    It is not possible to connect a phone line directly to the AirPort Express, since the AirPort Express is a simple router only.
    The phone line must first connect to a broadband modem.
    Then the modem connects to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express using an CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.

  • Xbox 360 wireless adapter wont connect to Airport Express/cant find ip

    i have a time warner modem with the ethernet cable plugged into my airport express to create a wireless network in my house. my macbook and dell connect with no prob.
    the xb recognizes the airport express, shows it as connected with green bars, but when i try to log into xbox online, it says that there is no connection.
    i can plug in the ethernet cable from the xb to the airport ex and there is no problem. only when trying to use the wireless adapter.
    how can i stop this? also, how can i find my IP address?
    since the xb wouldnt connect and find my ip automatically, i tried to do it manually. when i go to terminal on my macbook and enter "ipconfig e0", i dont see an IP address.
    i have seen a lot of info on this but it mainly deals with airport extreme or those who are trying to connect to airport express with an ethernet cable.
    so if you can help me troubleshoot the wireless connection between my xb and my airport ex OR explain how i can find my IP address, i would be very grateful.
    FYI---the airport express was purchased in april, so i believe it is the new "n" model.
    thanks for all your help.

    Gary Sanborn, please share your tricks. I'm curious to know how you got it to work. I used to have the old Express and that worked just fine. The new version (n) doesn't seem to connect to xbox live. As previously stated, mine also shows "connected" and a strong green bar signal on the xbox but the text can't get passed "connected to live"... if I'm not mistaken.
    I heard about holding down the option button white selected the type of wireless connection and connecting to wireless b only. I would want to avoid this option. I don't want my express to run that slow. Please advice. Thanks in advance.
    By the way, I haven't tried it since recently upgrading to OS X 10.5.3. I wasn't sure if that affected airport's connectivity with xbox 360.

  • Connecting to Airport Express as speaker?

    Trying to connect to airport express with my new MacBook Air and iTunes. I just do not seem to be able to din the right way to do this. Also, I used to see a choice of speakers on my old machines in the lower right corner of the iTunes window while playing music. I do not seem to havethat anymore. Any ideas> Many thanks in advance!

    Actually, I did manage now. I must have done something wrong previously. Follow instructions with this link http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/setup.html. What may not be so obvious is the icon in the bottom right of the iTunes screen. It's the rectangle with the up arrow. It may have been different previously but it works and if you follow the instructions you may well find it works as in my case. The only thing I did differently this time is to "enable ethernet for airtunes" at least I think that is what it was called. I did not think that was necessary as I am using the WiFi but clicked it anyway just in case.
    For me a case of "Less haste ...more speed".. I am now listening to my music.

  • Lost connection to airport express

    I changed the password on my router for my wireless internet connection today, and have now lost connection with the airport express.
    WHen I go to Airport Utility it is no longer showing the Airport EXpress as one of the connected devices.
    I have unplugged the Express, done a hard reset on it. I have restarted my Macbook Air, but nothing assists me in Airport Utility picking up the additional device. Should I connect the Airport Express with an ethernet cable maybe to get everything working again?
    Hope someone can assist me as I now have no music in the house

    Problem solved. Mystery remains. but problem solved

  • Airport express with xplornet,

    Hi from Canada!
    Has anyone any experience with connecting a Airport Express with the Xplornet 4G Satalite ISP Service we use here in rural Canada.
    Definitly some issues with the DNS.
    any help would be appreciated.

    I had to spend some time ( off and on 1 hour) with network settings, but AX with AirTunes works great! The advice in this discussion helpped more than the book or Apple's support site.
    Enjoy!
