Setting up airport express with a d-link dir 655 router on xp

I bought a new router and would like to setup my old AX to use it to stream music. I installed the airport utility which seems to find my device but I can't connect to it - via my router or the airport utility. When I select select manual or continue I get a 60 second or so delay and then it returns to the same screen - "airport utility found an apple wireless device with default settings."
Wireless Network ebxxxx
Airport ID: 00:11:xxxxxx
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? My laptop is plugged into the same router that my AX is. I've tried what I believe to be a soft and hard boot with the AX but so far no luck.
Thanks
Chris

AS far as I am aware only the devices listed at the top of this page do UPnP
http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1996&question=UPnP
On some, such as the 624 listed here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93333 (See note 2) it actually doesn't work with a Mac properly.
The pics of the Menus on this page http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DIR-655/iChat.htm suggest it does not have UPnP
The item in the menu "Application Rules" looks like a possible name for Port Triggering (A way of allowing Multiple computers use the same ports)
However it does not seem to be listed in the Port Forward Triggering guide list

  • Airport Express vs. D-Link Dir-655 = no xbox connection

    I cant seem to get my airport express to connect to m exisisting network. it just wont work. it keeps asking me to find apple devices at the end of the setup. Meaning it was me to find a airport extreme or time capsule. which i do not own .
    I own a D-link dir-655 wireless n router and i cant get them connected together. my router/modem is downstairs in the living room, and my flatscreen is in my room and the xbox.
    I want use my airport in my room for the xbox and and play live can anyone help?
    HALO REACH!!!PLSS!

    I am using a D-Link DIR-655 as well and trying to hook up the Airport Express to extend the range as well. I have tried just about everything, and well nothing seems to be working. I updated the router to its latest Firmware, and I don't think that the router has the capability to use WDS settings. I have even tried to find some DD-WRT for it and no one has made anything for it, it seems to be something with what D-Link does to the router or its hardware specs.
    Anyways, I've tried to get my Airport Express to join my network even tho it is not a 802.11n its the older version, but on my router settings I am set to use 802.11n/g or even b.
    For the Xbox problem set it up with an Ethernet cable because;
    1. You don't want lag
    2. Its a helluva lot easier.
    If you must connect it wirelessly, make sure your adapter is plugged in fully and that you actually have one. The Xbox's do not come with wireless adapters unless you have purchased a new Xbox 360 Slim ( I believe there calling it ).

  • Is there any way I can connect three AirPort Expresses to a D-Link DIR 655?

    I have a 2009 D-Link DIR 655 running 1.33NA and I need to connect my three AirPort Express systems in order to run my XBox to XBox LIVE, and I am having some serious difficulty doing so.  I've checked all over the Internet, googled the issue about ten different ways, and not a whole lot has come up.  HELP!!!!!

    Apple has done their best to install proprietary software in their wireless routers that is designed to only allow other Apple routers to repeat or extend the network wirelessly.
    So, the chances are extremely small that a D-Link....or another other router for that matter.....could be configured to do what you ask.
    There are no settings on an AirPort Extreme that would allow a D-Link device to extend the network, so all that you can do is experiment with different settings on the D-Link device to see if it might be possible for it to extend the network.
    A post on a D-Link support forum might be a good idea to see if any D-Link specialists have some ideas on this topic.
    Good luck.

  • PC cannot see wireless Airport Express using Ethernet on D-LINK DIR-655 Router

    This seems to be a recurring issue going way back, but I have yet to see a real solution posted.
    I am using my Airport Express (APX) to stream music from the computers on my network to my stereo via Airplay.  I have APX set up to wirelessly join my existing wireless network, which uses a D-Link DIR-655 router hooked to a Time Warner cable modem.  I can succesfully connect all of my wireless devices via Airplay, through iTunes to my APX, including two laptops and an iPhone.  However, my primary desktop PC, which does not have a wireless card is linked directly via ethernet cable to my D-Link router, and it is not able to see my APX.  I can, however, see the Airport Express from my PC through my Airport Utility by directly typing in the IP address.  Note that the  APX set-up option to allow Ethernet clients is checked.  I also noticed that my laptops will stop detecting the APX if I directly connect them to my D-Link router via Ethernet and turn off their wireless cards.  They will resume detecting APX when I turn their wireless connections back on.  So, bottom line, I am convinced that this is not a firewall problem.  Although I have tried every conceivable setting of my D-Link router and APX, I am convinced it is either a wireless to ethernet communication issue, or some obscure setting on APX.. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Wayne

    I think I found the fix based on reading some Apple TV forums where several people were having the same problem.  Under Advanced Network settings in the D-Link setup, I just checked "Enable Multicast Streams" and that seemed to do the trick.

  • Computer tend to freeze when accessing internet with D-Link dir-655 router

    I recently bought a D-Link dir-655 router and since then my computer tend to freeze up completely when accessing internet. This also happens when certain programs access internet. Otherwise I am usually using Internet Explorer or Opera.
    I've found that there are many who experience problems with D-Link router, that they may have problems with certain network card. Anyone who can say if this is a known issues and if it there is a solution or if it is better to buy another router?

    Hi, Ernst:
    Would you consider backing up your files and doing a system recovery?
    Maybe the OS has some corrupt registry files or something.
    If you recover and then it still does that, your only choice looking at the motherboard is a PCIe gigabit ethernet adapter which would be relatively easy to install, or you could even get a USB ethernet adapter and not even have to open the case.
    See if there is a setting to disable the onboard NIC if you have to add a network card.
    I would rule out all software problems before buying hardware.
    If you want to try some other malware program, I recommend the free Kapersky rescue disk. You burn the file to a CD and boot from it.  It scans the drive and deletes any malware or virus files it finds without the PC being in windows. A lot of times viruses and malware can't be removed when windows is running.
    Link to the download and instuctions for use is below. I like to use the graphic interface rather than the text interface.

  • Wireless connection to D-Link DIR-655 router

    I just got a MBP and I can't connect wirelessly to my D-link router (WPA password protected; wired connection works great). Aiport sees the router, asks for the password which I enter, and then I get the message "the selected network uses and Access Control List.. and this computer is not on the list." I've tried to add the MBP to my network using the Network Magic process for adding new devices (which worked just fine to wirelessly connect my PC laptop from work), but it can't seem to find the MBP. I tried the steps suggested by iVmichael to someone having a similar problem April 5-6, and also tried disabling my network lock, but so far haven't found the magic combination. Suggestions?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   D-Link DIR-655 router
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I had a similar problem and I needed a second computer (B) using a wired connection to the router to allow the other one (A) in. This is what I did:
    1. Using the wired computer (B) I opened up the network so any computer could join the network wirelessly.
    2. I joined the network with (A) wirelessly.
    3. Once I had successfully joined the network with (A) I used the wired computer (B) to do a search for new computers so (A) could be registered in the Access Control List.
    4. Using (B) I closed the network again.
    5. Now I could join the network with (A) wirelessly without any trouble.

  • Trying to set up Airport Express with Ethernet Powerline adapters

    Hello,
    Having some problems trying to set up my Airport Express with Netgear ethernet powerline adapters.
    I want to set up as follows:
    Wireless Belkin router --- powerline <---> powerline --- airport express --- home stereo system
    The problem I have is that I can connect the airport x in client mode & wirelessly play music using airtunes (until the sound breaks up) but itunes does not find the airport x when connected via the powerlines.
    I have airport admin utility configured as follows:
    Airport tab:
    Wireless mode: create a wireless network
    Wireless network name: same as my wireless router SSID
    Allow this network to be extended: unticked
    radio mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
    Channel: automatic
    Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 personal (as per my router)
    Wireless Password: as per my router
    Verify Password: as per my router
    Internet tab:
    Connect using: ethernet
    Connection sharing: off (bridge mode)
    Music tab:
    Enable Air Tunes ticket
    no password set
    In iTunes, I have home sharing on & share entire library selected with no password set.
    Using OS 10.6.5 & Airport Express 7.5.2
    I can ping the IP address of the airport express when connected via the powerlines but cannot select the speakers in iTunes (they are greyed out).
    Any assistance would be appreciated....
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for the quick response...
    As suggested, I connected up the Airport X to the Belkin and plugged in a pair of headphones. It didn't work, still could not select the Airport X as speakers.
    Dug out my old Netgear DG834G and connected that up in place of the Belkin - it worked. Next connected in the Netgear powerlines and it still worked.
    So, the problem is the relatively new Belkin F7D4401 router.
    Looks like I will have to find an alternative 802.11n...
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    Simon

  • Connecting a SPA2102 with a D-Link DIR-655

    Hi, I'm currently having trouble with getting the internet and voip to work simultaneously. Internet and voip adaptor (SPA2102) work without a router connected, but when I add the router (DIR-655), internet no longer works. The voip telephone still works. I'm just having trouble getting both voip and internet to work.
    I have the SPA2102 in front of the a D-Link DIR-655 by the way. Right now, I have the voip adaptor disconnected so I can access internet once again.
    I'm still very new to this so any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for the quick reply.
    I finally got it to work. I had to change the router's IP and also PPPoe to DHCP.
    Thanks again for your help. I truly appreciate it.

  • Setup D-Link DIR-655 router help

    Greetings,
    I'm trying to set up a D-Link Extreme Router (DIR-655) as the wireless router for my home. The setup wizard disc that came with the router doesn't appear to work on a Mac even though it says it's mac compatible on the box. I'm assuming I need to manually install the router which I have no idea how to do. My service provider is comcast and my modem is a scientific atlanta modem. I can connect to the internet by plugging Ethernet directly from the modem into my MBP. If anyone can point me in the right direction from here I'd really appreciate it.
    desperately missing wireless,
    JC

    I have the same router D-Link DIR 655 coming and here is what I am thinking...
    The CD is not for use with Mac, but finally on the net somewhere I found the answer to my question about plugging in and then immediately seeing the wireless connection, which I assume would be the case. Here is what I picture -- corrections welcome, as I will be doing this Monday. (I am way too spoiled using my iMac for a 'router' at home.. LOL it baffles the PC users... they can't find the router!)
    Unplug the modem from the power supply.
    Connect the Ethernet wire from the router to the modem.
    Power up the router by plugging it in.
    Power up the modem again by plugging it back in.
    Now you should be able to see the wifi connection with a wireless laptop.
    Type the default address 192.168.0.1 into FireFox and you should be able to skip to the Wireless configuration screen.
    I'm trying to read about it as much as I can before it arrives. The thing I will have to do is this is for a business office and I'm not sure if I can also have another wire plugged from a computer into the modem as well as the router...because it makes me think that setup would two IP addresses. (I did this at home for years until the cable company shut me off... said I had to pay extra for 5 connections I was using with my hub!) So that will be a question for me to try to figure out.
    Also, set the router on b and g not n, for the older cards, if you don't have the 'n' protocol.
    So other than testing what I can do with my connection which is wired into the wall for another port on the opposite side of the room, I think that is how to start.
    My first test will be to see if I can have the router connected on the opposite wall (because it will give a better shot for the signal to travel to the other rooms int he office) and have my laptop plugged in at the desk at the same time. The internet worked both from methods (plugged to the modem and plugged to the wall) but that was only one connection each time as I was alone doing this and only had a laptop with me.
    Ideally I want the computer to be at the desk, able to plug into the modem, and the router across the way for the others to use on WiFi.
    PS - the documentation was useless.. I am getting this info from reading other sources on the web....also be advised that you just plug in and get a WiFi connection I am going to assume it's 'open' and unless you are in a remote area at home, but in a building of other businesses like I am, you will need to password protect the wireless connection immediately.

  • Setting up Airport express with new Vista Computer?

    I just bought a new computer with microsoft Vista. I have a netgear wireless router using WPA protection. I want to hook up an airport express as a client in another room where my stereo is. I had this working on my old XP computer but don't remember how I set it up because none of the discussions in the manual look anything like what I had. Does anyone know how to set this up?

    Got it!!!! thanks to David NYC and tesserax. For other peoples benefit, change steps 1-5 on the above document procedure for Airport Admin Utility to the following:
    1. Perform factory reset (situational)
    2. Attach Airport Express via Ethernet to router.
    3. Invoke your router software and view connected devices.
    4. Identify Airport Express device id. It will be something like (192.168.1.3). You can tell which id is the airport express by looking for its MACD id on the list and comparing to the id printed on the Airport Express unit.
    5. Open Airport Admin Utility.
    6. Click Other.....
    7. Enter the device id from #4 and password (this will be "public" if you reset to factory in step 1.)
    8. Change settings to wireless (steps 6-13 of existing procedure)
    Thanks to all who helped.

  • Setting up airport express with airport extreme 802.11n with Airport Utilit

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble setting up my airport express(AX). Having recently bought the new Airport Extreme (AE) basestation, I can't figger out how to set it up to recognize the AX and allow me to stream airtunes. Previously I had the AX setup fine, but once I installed the AE, it no longer was recognized.
    After resetting the AX, the airport Utility recognizes the AE and the AX as basestations, but I don't want to have to switch back and forth from wireless networks everytime I want to listen to music in another room. Airport Admin seemed to have been wiped out when I installed the AE, so any documents I've found on the Apple site refer to AA and not Airport Utility.
    HAs anyone set up their AX on the new AE basestation?
    thanks!
    Rene

    I am currently experiencing the same issue, except that I cannot for the life of me get the AX to:
    1) Stop flashing yellow - numerous resets -soft to default.
    2) The airport utility will not recognize it.
    The airport utility sees the AE no problem, I got that up and running after a few restarts and am now able to log on to the network with my laptop.
    I am new to Mac's and this is the 1st time I have tried to set up a network with one, I was excited about being able to use the AX to play my iTunes through the stereo in the other room and to hopefully use it to connect my X-Box to the internet. But I am starting to think that this is either above my skills or a fruitless endeavor. Any help would be most appreciated!
    Thanks

  • How to set up the airport express with a linksys wireless-g broadband router

    I need to know if and how to set up an airport express to use to extend a home wi-fi network. I have AT&T service with a 2WIRE modem. I am using a Linksys wireless-G broadband router. I also have the new Macbook Air notebook. The airport express keeps giving me a blinking amber light even when the ethernet cable (from the modem) connected. Please let me know how to set up an extended wifi network using this system. Any help would be appreciated.

    If that is all that is done, the Express would not provide more wireless coverage.  Instead, it would duplicate the coverage provided by the Linksys and there would be two WiFi systems covering approximately the same area.  As per my above comment, one Express connects via Ethernet to the Linksys.  The second Express provides the extension.
    You must have misunderstood what I was saying.
    Linksys is providing a wireless network.
    The Express is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys router using a long Ethernet cable (or Ethernet powerline adapters)
    The Express is located on the other side of the house, for example.
    The Express is configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as the Linksys router
    The Express is configured in Bridge Mode
    This has worked quite well for me for years. Computers "switch" from one wireless access point to another smoothly and automatically while they move around the house.
    Although this is an "extended" network, it is technically known as a "roaming" network.
    This is what I was suggesting as a possible alternative without having to buy more hardware.

  • Constant Error While Setting Up Airport Express with Existing Network

    I just bought an Airport Express for use with printer and existing wireless network (two original Airport Extremes). I can't get past the error msg below*. The AE shows in Airport Utility. I click on that and then "Continue". A window appears asking if I'm sure I want to "Switch" wireless networks. I assume I do since set up doesn't continue if I select "Don't Switch". But every time I try that it shows a spinning wheel and "Joining wireless network...", and un-joins existing wireless network (losing the two AEBS's), giving me the continued error msg. And on a few occasions Airport Utility can't see it, like now.
    *Error Msg: "An error occurred joining the selected wireless network."
    It's been a while since I've set up Apple's wireless devices but I thought it was easier now. The manual is ambiguous with "1) Open Airport Utility, 2) Follow the onscreen instructions...". If I could only get to that. Very frustrating for a device that's suppose to be so simple to set up.
    Message was edited by: Sakahara

    Addendum: Now that I've plugged it in near the printer again Airport Utility can see it but can't read it's configuration so that I can set up the printer. How is this helpful with setting up a printer in another room/level if you have to set it up near your computer first because the two Airport Extreme's you have already set up (one of them, to create the wireless network, 8 feet away from the Express, and the other, to extend the wireless network, on an upper level, to reach the iMac) to give your computer a wireless network? So Airport Utility can see all three airport devices, the network/internet works and is extended to my iMac, but it can't read the Express device to set up the printer. Isn't that the point of the extended wireless network? And yet I can read/set up the Extreme near the Express. Now I have to lug the printer up two levels to set up the printer.

  • I am trying to set the airport express with a printer; everything looks fine but I keep getting an error message, any tips??

    Do you know where the error message is coming from? All the set ups looks fine.
    Do you think I should reset everything and start from scratch?
    Cheers,
    JB

    An AirPort Express running firmware version 6.3 must be an old one. The Express is unrelated to Bluetooth, but it is likely that your wireless speaker signal is interfering with the Express's wireless signal. This is a common problem with wireless speakers and the older 2.4 GHz - only Express.
    The cure probably going to require upgrading your Express to a newer model, and using the relatively interference-free 5 GHz band.
    Read: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
    NB:
    Sources of interference
    Wireless speakers that operate in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band.

  • Can't set up airport express with new Airport Extreme

    I have a new aiport extreme base station and two airport expresses. All was well till I tried to plug in a hard drive then the base station needed to be reset. Now I can't get it to recognize the aiport expresses. I have to do a factory reset on the express to even get it to recognize it in the Airport Utility. I follow the instructions to have it join my existing network, I get to the point where it says I have successfully joined the network and the express will restart, but I never get a green light on the express and then I can't locate it while using the airport utility.
    is there something in the configuration of the airport extreme that is blocking this?
