Which Airport Do I Set as "MAIN" on my "REMOTE" Airport Express

I've set up a network using 3 Airports:
Main: UFO connected to the internet
Relay: Airport Extreme
Remote: Airport Express
My question is with regard to the WDS setting for my "REMOTE" unit. Which do I set as the "MAIN" in the WDS Panel: 1) The Main Unit Connected to the internet; or 2) The Relay Unit (which is much closer to the Remote Unit)?
Thank you.

  • ITunes Automatically Change EQ Setting Based On Which Airport Express Streaming?  I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different

    I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different EQ setting to sound just right. Does anyone know of a way to have iTunes automatically change its EQ setting based on which Airport Express it is streaming to?

    I'm in the same boat. I have a 6 zone amplifier running with 6 airport expresses to different rooms inside and outside the house. Each has it's own acoustic characteristics. I'd really love to be able to set each airport to equalize based on my SPL frequency sweep I did for each room.
    Setting the eq in itunes won't do it as that is global plus I have many more sources for auiod other than itunes that use the AEs directly.

  • How do I tell what version airport express I have?  Airport Utility says this version does not support this base station.  What to do, how to update?

    I tried to add an older airport express to my network that I had not been using.  It shows up in Airport Utility but Airport Utility says that this version of Airport Utility Dies not support this base station.   I am running airport utility V6.3.4 on a mac mini running OS X 10.10.  Not sure which airport express it is, nor how to check.  I assume I need a firmware upgrade on the Airport Express, but not sure how to do this without Airport Utility.  I tried to download an older version of Airport Utility, but could not install because it does not support OS X 10.10   Any ideas other than throwing a perfectly good airport express away?

    Don't throw the AE away. It is still very useful as I have both the old & new each work well (sometimes the sound keeps dropping out but I think that has to do with the wirless settings!!!)
    You need Airport Utility 5.6.1 which works in 10.10 - I managed to download a .dmg from the net but not sure how I could get it to you.
    The new utility doesn't support  the old AEs unfortunately which I have and Apple have no intention of allowing a utility that will cover all
    AEs.
    Try and get a version 5.6.1.

  • I lost control over my Airport Express

    I lost control over my Airport Express. It is still working, wireless network is alright, but the Airport Utility can not find it. I reinstalled the utility on my desktop but still the same.

    That's irritating. What is the exact message provided by AirPort Utility? Is it something like "No configured AirPort base stations have been found"?
    What version of AirPort Utility are you using, which AirPort Express model do you have (look on its case for a number like A1084, A1264 or A1392), and what version of OS X are you using?

  • Why is Airport Express blocking a website?

    capitalone.co.uk used to work for me. Now it doesn't. Stopped sometime late November. Can't access on any computer - iMac, G5 tower or laptop - all are served across an Airport Express connected to the internet via a cable modem.
    If I plug the cable modem direct to my laptop, turning off the Airport Express i can access the capitalone.co.uk web site.
    If I turn back on my Airport Express and acccess the internet wirelessly that way i cannot see the site. You try it and see if it happens for you. You get a URL and a request for a jsp page, but nothing appears, the screen remains blank.
    Clearly they changed something late in 2005 and it upsets Airport Express NAT so it doesn't transmit the page code to my computers wirelessly.
    Perhaps academic now, as I am changing my bank as a result of not getting access and being spooked by the likely failure of capitalone.co.uk to write proper code or doing something not allowed which Airport Express refuses to let through.
    But really I'd like to see if anyone else has this prob, and any ideas what capitalone.co.uk are doing that it fails to load. Or has the Airport Express NAT rules been rewritten and something denies this particular web site as a result?
    Look forward to any feedback anyone can give.

    Mark,
    It may be a security issue with Capital One.
    I was as gobsmacked as you when I read your post first time. Then I noticed you use a cable modem. This causes your Mac to be allocated the IP address assigned to your cable modem by your ISP.
    When you plug in an Airport Express unit, it allocates IP addresses to the Macs connected to it. Any network traffic out to the web contains the 192.168.1.x (LAN address) and the WAN address (assigned by the ISP) so it knows where to send it on the way back. Without the Airport Express unit, the network traffic only has the one IP address in it.
    Capital One may be detecting the presence of more than one address and not trusting it, especially if you're attaching to a secure web page (https).
    I remember that they were caught in a large scam about a year ago, involving thousands of missing cards and web fraud. I remember reading (BBC News website) that the Capital One credit card was the most commonly used card in credit card fraud. Hence all the ads with the crab claiming it's extremely secure, and presumably changes to the website.

  • Apple AirPort Express - Streaming Music on iTunes - Frequent Music Drop out

    *Apple AirPort Express - Streaming Music on iTunes - Frequent Music Drop outs*
    I have just purchased an Apple AirPort Express for the sole use of streaming music from my laptop to my home cinema system.
    My system has bundles of power (Core 2 Duo, 3gb RAM, 320gb hard disk, Intel-N WiFi) and is running Windows Vista Premium. I am using the latest version of iTunes (version 8) and have it setup to play through remote speakers. I have my AirPort Express connected to my home cinema system.
    When I play music on iTunes through ONLY my computer speakers I have no problem with drop outs.
    However, when I play music through either (1) my AirPort Express or (2) multiple speakers (i.e. the AirPort Express and my computer speakers together) I experience frequent and unbelievably annoying drop outs in the music stream.
    I have determined this has nothing to do with interference with the wireless signal and believe this is something to do with iTunes - the reason being the drop outs occur in BOTH the computer speakers AND the AirPort Express speakers (when I select multiple speakers) but does not occur when I select ONLY the computer speakers.
    Please could you provide some advice on this as I am unable to use the AirPort!
    Many thanks
    Elliot

    You don't say which Airport Express you are using and what its settings are.
    There are two Airport Express models. The original model works on 802.11b/g on 2.4 GHz. The later model can do 802.11n on 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz. My experience is that interference when using the 2.4 GHz band creates drop-outs when sending audio from iTunes to an Airport Express. I now have an 802.11n network on 5.0 GHz and no longer have drop-outs. I also have a 2.4 GHz 802.11g network for my iPhone and other devices that can't do 802.11n. They are connected to each other by ethernet.
    Interference on 2.4 GHz occurs because a lot of people nearby have wireless networks too. You may not notice the interference when doing other network activity that is not time dependant but it shows when streaming music. Using a utility like iStumbler or AirRadar I can see I am the only one using the 5.0 GHz band in range of my computer.

  • Airport express & 2Wire

    Seeking insstruction on integrating Airport Express as wireless source to replace ATT 2Wire router, e.g., 2Wire connects to DSL with phone jack which Airport Express does not accept.

    I don't see how you can. The AEX only connects by Ethernet then provides a wireless network. You can only do the reverse which is for the AEX to connect wirelessly to a source, then provide a connection via Ethernet cable. You need a DSL modem/router that has a telephone jack to connect to your DSL phone line.

    I have an Airport Express, which flashes amber, but when I go to manual set up, it says there's an error and tells me to close configuration? Once I complete that, the same thing occurs, and there's another error message?

    Is this a new AirPort Express, or one that you have had for some time that has now developed problems?
    What function do you want the Express to perform on your network?

    Anyone has an idea how to connect and configure my Airport express to an internet range extender which is plugged into mains?

    You can connect it but with ethernet cable. You can not connect it by wifi to extend the range a second time.
    BTW AE is rather sensitive to connect by wifi to non-apple wifi routers.

  • How do I set up my Airport Express to my Viasat modem, which requires a DHCP connection, without getting a double NAT connection error?

    I have an Airport Express connected to a Viasat 4100 satellite modem. This requires a DHCP connection and is connected to my Airport Express by Ethernet. I then have three computers (two running Mavericks and one running Lion) and two IPhone 5s and an Apple Tv on the network. If the Airport Express is set to DHCP and NAT then the network works and I have internet, but the amber light flashes and I have a double NAT error. If I use it in Bridge mode the airport express goes green but I have no internet. How can I set it up so it works properly? If anyone knows could they please give all the settings I shoud use on the Airport Express as I may have left incorrect setting on it whilst trying to fix the problem. I have checked and it has been confirmed that I cannot change any settings on the satellite modem.

    Go into AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Express, and click on the "Double-NAT" error. Click Ignore. There's nothing that can be done about the Double-Nat unless you ignore it (no harm) or contact your ISP and get them to change your Modem/Router into Bridge Mode, and even then can't guarantee that you won't get that error.
    Again, best thing to do: Ignore the Double-Nat Error.

  • Owned an iMac for 5 years - have no idea what my password is for my AirPort Express which I set up about 3 years ago  My wife has just purchased an iPad 2 and it is asking for my forgotten password - how do I retrieve it ?

       How do I recover my password set up when I added AirPort Express to my iMmac a few years ago..  My wife has just purchased an iPad and it is asking for that "forgotten" password to make the Wi Fi connection ?

    From the airport express user manual:
    If You Forgot Your Network or AirPort Express Password
    You can clear the AirPort network or AirPort Express password by resetting AirPort
    Express.
    To reset your password:
    1 Use the end of a straightened paper clip to press and hold the reset button for one
    second.
    2 Select your AirPort network.
    On a Macintosh computer:
    => Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar to select the network created by AirPort
    Express (the network name does not change).
    3 Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a
    Macintosh
    4 Select your AirPort Express and click Configure.
    5 In the dialog that appears, make the following changes:
    Â Reset the AirPort Express password.
    Â Turn on encryption to activate password protection for your AirPort network. If you
    turn on encryption, enter a new password for your AirPort network.
    6 Click OK.
    AirPort Express restarts to load the new settings

  • I have an old Airport Express I want to use to extend WiFI (which is best Airport Express or Extreme) and to have a HD for storing Itunes connected to the old Airport as well.         I would also like to have the new Airport hardwired to my Mac (desktop)

      I am willing to buy a new Airport Express or Extreme so I can get at least one LAN port - but only if I can use that LAN port to connect to my MAC (desktop) so it doenst have to get internet via the WiFi- AND so I can set it up as its own hot spot.  I think I saw that was possible??  That way my guest network would be separate from my home Network.  Just trying to get the best layout. I have cable modem to old Airport now and USB from it to printer. 
    Maybe a new Airport - again USB to printer and LAN to MAC(?) then old Airport elsewhere in the house to extend the signal and use USB off it to hard drive to store Itunes?  Would LOVE to have it there to use for Airplay etc- Is that possible- I have read many comments and still not sure if it is possible or not.
    Baxically I need a simple solution to storing all my photos- music and movies (MAC only has 500GB) AND have a great back up; Currently have a 1TB drive as Time Machine - so could use that for back up- but running out of space on MAC for all the media I am saving.  THANKS!!

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • My iPod Touch was not connecting to my Airport Express router (which was "extending" a network as a WDS repeater) -- SOLVED!

    My problem was this. I have a large apartment with concrete walls, so just one wireless router would not work. I used apple Airport routers and used one of them (an airport extreme) to create my wireless network, and a number of other ones -- airport expresses -- to "extend" the network.
    That's all great, but I found that a couple of my devices -- mainly my iPod Touch -- would refuse to connect to the repeater airport express routers -- it only wanted to connect to the main Airport Extreme router, not the satellite guys.
    Finally I solved the problem.  It had to do with how the wireless network's configuration for "Radio" setting was set regarding 802/11 b/g, and the dual-band ability of the Extreme. Below is the description of how I fixed it.
    ======SOLUTION THAT I POSTED======
    I've pretty much solved this problem. I do not FULLY understand why, but now I can have my iPod touch (and I am hoping my kindle) attach correctly to the satellite/repeater airport express.  Here is what I did:
    I did two configuration changes to my central hub airport extreme router (i.e., the one that my other routers were merely configured to "extend.")  I realize now that these are both configurations that must be done at that central router, and the repeater routers then simply mimic or reflect accordingly.
    -- First, I used the most recent Airport Utility (v6.0) and clicked on my main router (which, crucially, is an airport extreme that has dual band 802.11, both 2.4ghz and 5ghz.)
    -- In the airport utility, I clicked on that Extreme router and then in its funky popup window, clicked Edit.
    -- Clicked the tab called Wireless.
    -- Clicked on Wireless Options button.
    -- the first config change I made on that page was to change the Radio Mode setting to "802.11a/n - 802.11 b/g." 
         What nobody really tells you is that that hyphenated choice means that the 5GHz band will use the first of those two (namely, a and n, in other words the strong modern N standard will be used on this band ONLY) ... while the 2.4GHZ band will use only the second of those two, b/g, in other words, the devices that only can use that older weaker standard.
         So, it's kind of a segregation. I'm telling it "No, don't let the 2.4 ghz band try to handle traffic using N. That band will just take care of the old crappy clients."
    -- the second config change that I made on that page was to check the check box to make a totally separate wireless network name for the 5GHZ band.  Further segregating things.  When I tried my solution without this additional step, my problem did not fix itself, though I don't fully see why.
    As I said, a few questions remain in my head, but the darn thing works, so I'm happy. Among many other questions... are those airport expresses dual-band too? I didn't think they were but somehow they are repeating this dual-band strategy?  Whatever. it works.
    BY THE WAY -- I recommend using the Apple question/answer board on StackExchange to get Apple-related answers. It is at http://apple.stackexchange.com/

    To demonstrate, here's a screenshot from the Airport Utility on the iPod Touch in close proximity to the Express, still connected to the Extreme :
