Why doesn't my linksys router work with my airport express?  I can't print!

I can't print to my hp photosmart 1315 with my airport connected to my linksys router. I can only print directly with USB. I had the airport express tested at the apple store and it worked fine with my printer, but now at home, on hte linksys wireless network, the green light is on but the printer doesn't print. I called the help line but they were no help...don't support linksys...
Please help me!

In this configuration, you just need to set up the AX as a bridge to allow you Linksys router to continue to provide the NAT & DHCP services for the entire network.
To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), make these settings:
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
- Apply the new setting.

  • With my Airport Express, I can join the network but not extend it.

    I just bought a new Airport Express to extend the network I have setup with my Airport Extreme.  At first, it seemed the Express was unable to get a correct IP address, I think because I had my DHCP server running from the cable modem, and the Extreme was just acting as a bridge.  I switched the Extreme to run a DHCP server and now the Express correctly receives an IP address.  However, it still tells me that it cannot extend the network, but gives no details why.  It just tells me to make sure I have the correct password and to be sure I am in range.
    Clearly I am in range and have the correct password, because when I switch to "join network", all works fine.  Though when I do switch, I still get an amber blinking light and Airport Utility still thinks the Express is in Extend mode.  When I unplug and replug the Express, then it comes up with a green light and Airport Utility shows it in Join mode and all works fine. 
    I am thinking there might be something wrong with my Express and am considering exchanging it.  Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why this may be happening?
    Thanks.

    However, it still tells me that it cannot extend the network, but gives no details why.
    Suggest that you check your AirPort Extreme to make sure that you have enabled the wireless network to be extended.
    Open AirPort Utility, select the AirPort Extreme, and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Just under the setting for Wireless Network name......make sure that there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be exended".
    Update to save changes
    Now, try the configuration with the AirPort Express set to "Extend a wireless network"

  • Slingbox Solo no longer working with new Airport Express router

    Help! I'm at the end of my tether trying to get my Slingbox to communicate with the new Airport Express I've just bought. Here's the deal...Obviously, as AEXP only has one Ethernet Port (under advisement) I had to go and buy a 5 port Ethernet switch. Cable modem connects to 1 port of the switch. AEXP connects to another port. Slingbox connects to 3rd port. Network light on Slingbox flashes incessantly and Slingplayer software tells me to makes sure the "Network Router the Slingbox is connected to has the correct Port Forwarding settings."
    I have tried (via google) but cannot make sense of this. There should be no firewall obstacles as i am using MAC filtering and have added the MAC address of the slingbox to the AEXP settings. I know that Slingbox does work as it worked fine before with my Belkin router. Please can anyone help? I have called slingbox for ages and they are unable to help. Here's hoping someone here has brains and the patience i don't have! Kind Regards.

    identitytheft, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Sorry but you need to replace the Ethernet switch with a router which has more than one Ethernet port.
    Since the AirPort Express (AX) only has a single Ethernet port it can not properly share an IP address to Ethernet clients.

  • Newer mac mini airport utility can't work with older airport express

    Hi anyone who can help me out.
    I have a relatively new mac mini (2012), and a much older airport express. I can accesss the internet no problem, but I cannot use the airport utility to chane the password on the airport expres. when I try, I get this message "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." I have the latest version of Airport utility (6.3.1), which is supposed to work with all generaions of airport express. I need to change the password, but I do not have any of the original set-up disks for the airport. How do I fix this?
    Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately, AirPort Utility in Lion and Mountain Lion no longer supports the older wireless "b/g" versions of the AirPort Express. This would include model numbers A1084 and A1088.
    Please locate the model number on the side of your AirPort Express devices to verify the version that you have.
    If you have another Mac running the Leopard or Snow Leopard operating system, you can use AirPort Utilty on that Mac to administer the older Express. A PC could be used as well.
    If you cannot use another Mac or PC, then you might want to consider trying an unsupported method to install an older version of AirPort Utility on your Mountain Lion Mac. No guarantees can be offered that this will be successful since Apple does not officially support this method, but it does seem to work for most users.
    See this thread for more details:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22940547#22940547
    If nothing seems to work, the final option....likely the one that Apple wants you to use.....would be to buy a new AirPort Express.

  • Itunes 10 and Airplay no longer works with my Airport Express

    As soon as I installed the update, my Airport Express (802.11g I think) has stopped working. You can JUST hear a faint audio signal if you turn the amp up full. Any ideas gratefully received.

    I noticed this too and think it's by design. The new master volume slider in the AirPlay window is set at the highest volume in your list of speakers. Drag either the master volume or your external speaker slider to max, and you should get normal volumes out of your Airport Express speakers.
    Unfortunately, the volume slider on the iTunes window seems to be the master volume now, rather than just the volume for the computer. So if you mute the computer using that slider, you mute all speakers. To mute just the computer, you have to do it though the AirPlay speaker list now. Unless I'm missing a preference setting somewhere... thought there used to be something in iTunes or Airport Utility that let you toggle this behavior, but I don't see anything now...

  • Safari not working with new airport express

    i just hooked up my airport express and safari does not seem to be working on 2 iPhone 4Gs and on 1 macbook pro. 
    seems fine on 1 original iPad and 1 hardwired iMac. 
    any suggestions?

    Where did you get the firmware, and what specifically was it for? You need to know this before downloading or installing anything.

  • Why doesn't the virtual keyboard work with firefox on my dell venue 8 pro windows 8.1 tablet?

    When I try to enter text in any text-entry box, i.e, in the url , search, or on a website, the virtual keyboard doesn't activate. I have to manually activate and deactivate it. It works for Google Chrome, but sadly not for firefox, my preferred browser. The tablet is up-to-date with the latest drivers and updates.

    Thanks for the reply. No, it's the virtual keyboard that is integrated into window 8.1. I haven't installed any 3rd party keyboards

  • Why Doesn't My BarCode Scanner Work With Mountain Lion?

    I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.4 and I have two brand new CipherLab 1500 barcode scanners.  When I plug the scanners into a PC, they work fine.  When I plug them into either of my iMacs the scanner light comes on when I pull the trigger, but when I point the scanner at a barcode, the light goes out, there is no "beep" to indicate a successful scan, and not data is displyed (I'm testing it with TextEdit).  The light will not come back on when I pull the trigger again.  I've spoken with CipherLab and they say there's nothing wrong woth the scanners (and I tend to believe them) and that the reason the light doesn't come on when I pull the trigger after attempting to scan a barcode is because the scanner's waiting for a reply from the computer and won't re-scan until it receives one.  CipherLab also says they've tested their scanners on OS X (the tech I spoke with didn't know what version they've tested them up to) and they "work fine."
    Any thoughts?

    Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669 Printer and scanner software available for download to determine if you need drivers and also try the solutions mentioned KB Articles:  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11143 OS X Mountain Lion: Reset the printing system and http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11070 OS X Mountain Lion: Troubleshoot a network printer which should work w/scanners too.

  • Why doesn't our SCN account work with SuccessFactors

    You don't give us anything like enough data to go on. What is your operating system? Do you have a functioning iCloud account - i.e. are you signed in in System Preferences>iCloud?
    Were you originally a MobileMe subscriber? If so, did you migrate to iCloud?
    Was your email still working recently? Do you get any error messages? What happens when you try to use it?
    Have you been using an @icloud.com address or an @me.com address?

  • Why doesn't "safe mode" startup work with my iMac G5

    I wanted to start up in "safe mode" but could get no further than the revolving gears under the Apple logo. My procedure: I pushed the power button, and as soon as I heard the startup chime I depressed the shift key on my keyboard and held it down. Instead of getting a blue screen I got nothing but the continuously revolving gears. Releasing the shift key at that point didn't do anything. I held the power button until the computer shut down and then restarted, this time without depressing the shift key. This resulted in a successful startup. But why couldn't I start in safe mode?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.5G of RAM

    Hi bruckner,
    How long did you wait for? Safe Mode startups can take quite a while because the process checks and repairs the directories. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394
    Think about how long it can take to run DiskUtility to run "repair Disk" when booted from your OS DVD, especially if there are any problems or you have a lot of files on the disk. The process is essentially the same. It could easily take ten minutes or more in some circumstances if it has to do any repair work.
    If you are confident that you waited long enough, then make sure that you have all peripherals except for your keyboard and mouse disconnected. They may be interfering with the boot process when their drivers are not present.
    (You can release the "Shift" key as soon as the gears appear)
    Cheers
    Rod

  • Why doesn't apple tv v3 work with my projecter

    I had an older Apple TV in a classroom using a VGA converter to project to the VGA projector.  I got a new Apple TV 3 and swapped them out and it doesn't work.  The projector says "unsupported".  Is there a difference between 3 and one from a few years ago that would cause it to just not project?

    What modes does the projector support?
    Officially AppleTV 3 only supports 720p and 1080p.  It won't do interlaced modes but i have occasionally seen it list various other resolutions.
    Was the older AppleTV a black v2 or silver v1 ?
    AppleTV2 maxed out at 720p.
    AppleTV 1 could do interlaced modes up to 1080i as well as outputting 720p/1080p even though it could only process 720p it upscaled.
    I would try connecting the new AppleTv to an HDMI equipped TV and maybe setting the resolution to 720p - my older 800x600 projector worked via an adapter when AppleTV was set to 720p recognising a 720p input over VGA.
    It could however be an HDCP issue.

  • Why doesn't my ipod touch work with my new Honda f6b motorcycle?

    So, when I try to play music through the (new, unaltered, factory) stereo, the Ipod will randomly freeze.  Sometimes it will resume, sometimes not.  Sometimes I get an "unplayable" message or a "incompatible usb" message.  Sometimes not. 
    Latest software up to date, etc.  Android devices and old Ipods work fine.  Also I purchased a brand new lightning-to-usb cable, thinking that would help.  It did not.
    Is there a patch/upgrade/app that can help this?  It's VERY frustrating that Apple's "best" Ipod is the only one that does NOT seem to work!

    No update from Apple. Have you contacted Honda/went to their support site?
    Sometimes this works
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Sometimes it just is not compatible with specific model iOS devices/iOS version. Sometimes and iOS update breaks compatibility.

  • Why doesn't the Map module work with Lightroom 5.6 on OSX Yosemite?

    Since upgrading to OSX Yosemite the Map module won't display the roads or satellite images with Lightroom 5.6.  Sometimes it will download a small portion of the imagery but then it just displays the message "No imagery available".  If I try and zoom in all I get is a blank view.
    It's nothing to do with my internet connection as Google Maps in Safari comes up instantly.

    Adobe acknowledged this problem some months ago in the official Adobe feedback forum, but it still hasn't been addressed:
