About AirPort Express 2012 - WAN and LAN simultaneously?

If I connect the WAN port to my DSL modem, and the LAN port to my desktop via ethernet cables, would my desktop and a wireless device work simultaneously?

Please review the previous answer.
Yes means Yes  
A wireless router will share an Internet connection simultaneously with both Ethernet devices and wireless devices.

  • Airport Express 2nd WAN Port light always on, even when nothing is connected.

    My Airport Express 2nd WAN Port light always on, even when nothing is connected.
    Is this normal? The Airport utility also said that I didn't connect anything to the port - when there is a lan cable connected from the main Airport Extreme.
    The computer can connect to the WiFi from the Airport Express properly, but with blinking yellow and no internet connection, also it cannot obtain the ip address.
    After setting the Airport Express to the Bridge mode, the computer cannot access to the Airport Express anymore, with "Connection Time Out" error.
    The Airport Express was 3 days old, and was working properly until today. There is also one blackout today because of the storm.
    Had reset the Airport several times, didn't solve the problem.

    Hi again. That is a good idea. Check if router can grab an ip from your modem since wireless local connection through the router is working. If it can grab an ip and works fine on wireless, then you might have a problem with the ethernet ports. You might want to try assigning an ip address on the wired connection and see if ip of router is pingable. If really not working at all, possibility that router is not working properly anymore.

  • How do I know my airport express is working and doing what I want?

    I have my airport express connected to the lan in my office at the far end of my house.  The LAN runs to the wifi router supplied by my internet provider.  I want the airport express to give me a better signal in the far reaches of my house.  In the airport utlity I did the set up of the Base station and wireless screens and in the network screen have the Router Mode set as Off (Bridge Mode) - my airport express shows a nice green light.  So far so good, I hope.  However, when using my ipad or Macbook wirelessly I don't seem to get any better signal than when I didn't have the airport express.  How does either of my devices choose to connect though my airport express rather than my wifi router and how do I know?  Have I misunderstood something completely or not configured something correctly?
    Thanks in advance.
    Richard

    I have my airport express connected to the lan in my office at the far end of my house.  The LAN runs to the wifi router supplied by my internet provider.
    So, the AirPort Express is connected back to the ISP router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, correct?
    and....the AirPort Express has been configured to "create a wireless network" (not "extend a wireless network") and use the exact same wireless network name, wireless security and password as the ISP router, correct?
    Most users get the name of the network and password correct, but often miss the wireless security setting. If the wireless security settings on both routers do not match up exactly, you wind up with two networks, and not one "big" network like you probably want.
    and...the AirPort Express is configured to operate in Bridge Mode, correct?
    If you can confirm these settings....especially the settings for "create a wireless network" and wireless security....then we are ready to do the next test. Please post back on your progress.

  • I don't know anything about Airport Express/Extreme

    hello, i don't know anything about Airport Express. i'm wondering if anyone could clear up some stuff for me. first, what kind of stereos work with the AirTunes feature. i've got an old (probs 14-15 years old) sony stereo, but it works fine and a pretty nice, what are the chances its going to work? also i just got a new appartment, and i am wondering how i would set it up. thanks, i'll probs have more questions later.

    your stereo should be ok, the analogue output from an airport express will connect direct to line inputs on the stereo
    i'd expect every stereo ever made for the consumer market to work correctly
    you can find more about airport express here...

  • The green light in my airport express started blinking and doesnt stop and I cannot find it anymore

    the green light in my airport express started blinking and doesnt stop and I cannot find it anymore

    Unfortunately, green blinking is usually a symptom of an internal electrical problem on the AirPort Express.
    Try a Factory Default Reset as a last resort:
    Power down the Express
    Wait ai few minutes
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug it back in to power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart.
    You want to see a slow blinking amber light at this point, indicating that the Express has been reset to factory defaults. You can reconfigure it again now.
    If you try the Factory Default Reset a few times and this does not help, I am afraid that the Express is defective and will need to be replaced.

  • Modem is in a different room in my house. Can I still set up Airport Express (2012 model) away from my modem?

    Or does it have to always be plugged into the modem? To be more specific - my landlord lets me use his wifi but his apartment is above mine. I would like to set up my Airport Express (2012 model) to connect to my landlord's wifi signal WIRELESSLY and use that for Airtunes, Wireless printing, etc.
    I've read somwhere that you can set things up with the modem by connecting it to Airport via ethernet cable, THEN once Airport has recognized/memorized the wifi signal it can function without having to be plugged into the modem. Is this true? If so - where can I find instructions on doing this stuff?
    Thank you for your time,
    Sebastian

    Yes, take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4587

  • Problem with Airport Express (1st gen) and Mavericks?

    Hello,
    I still have an older 1st gen Airport Express (model A1264) and now with Mavericks it isn't working at all. The Airport Utility app on my Mac can't even find or connect with it. The same with the iOS app. It worked fine before. I can't even update the firmware (either no download available or other available downloads are too old and won't install). Is there a solution or do I need to update my whole device?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    As a last resort, try a factory default reset on the AirPort Express as follows:
    Power off the AirPort Express
    Wait a minute
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
    On an iPhone or iPad home screen....
    Tap Settings
    Tap WiFi
    Look for a heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station. If it appears.....
    Tap on AirPort Express just below the heading to start the configuration process on the Express again
    If you try several factory default resets, and the AirPort Express does not appear under the heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station, the Express most likely is defective and will need to be replaced.

  • Hi i got a new airport express for christmas and i set it up as per instructions ,i even give a static ip and wpa2 security ..the problem is is when i come to want to use it it says its not on my network and a orange triangle shows .when i reboot it works

    hi i got a new airport express for christmas and i set it up as per instructions ,i even give a static ip and wpa2 security ..the problem is is when i come to want to use it it says its not on my network and a orange triangle shows .when i reboot it works..then if i leave it a while and try iy agian its disapeared of my network...i have a bt hub 3 ....any help please ..im not sure if itsa faulty express

    I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
    When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

  • I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network?

    I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network? (I can't seem to find a way to see it).
    My computer is acting....well, strange.  I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't seem right.  Menus look skewed.  Some applications look like they're trying to disguise themselves as apple (no consistant window formats).  Airplay turns on and off on my devices on it's own.  And some locked system preference seem to unlock themselves, or won't even grey-out after I lock them. 
    I have changed my password many times but the issue keeps coming back.  I feel like I'm going crazy - but I know that something just isn't right...maybe someone's been hacking me? (I have no idea why...) 
    Anyway, maybe I could have stemmed from an improper setup of my wireless network.
    Any thoughts?
    Also, right now, when I just signed into apple communities....
         I have an iCloud email address that is accociated with my 1 and ONLY Apple ID...
         It seems to have been working but...
         When I loged in here it only saw my:
                                  OLD MacBookPro
                                  3 Old iPods
                                  My new MacMini with OS X Sever (Server is currently turned off)
         Could my Apple ID be confusing my MacBook (which I'm currently using) as an old iPod or my old MacBookPro?
         I doesn't even see my iPad (1st generation), or my iPhone 5
         Also, the Mac App store is giving me the option to download Mountain Lion??? I already have version 10.8.3...
    Can anyone perform an analysis on my account and computer?  I have been to the Apple Store 6 seperate time and the problem was not resolved (after 6 COMPLETE hard drive wipes).
    PLEASE HELP!

    i guess you could put the aiport utility app on your iphone, click on the aiport express there, it will show you how many devices are connected to it and the mac addresses of those devices.

  • Airport Express Audio Drop and Network issue

    I have a Dell Laptop, DLink G604T router and Airport Express. When I first bought the airport express I successfully got it to join my existing Dlink wireless network and I could happily stream music wirelessly to the airport express and maintain a wireless internet connection through the Dlink router.
    Since then I started having issues with audio drops to the Airport express and despite doing a lot of searching on the discussion forums and internet and trying different things have never solved the issue.
    The one thing that does seem to work is if I create a new wireless network with the Airport Express rather than joining the existing Dlink one. I can then stream music flawlessly all day long. The down side is I then can't get internet access wirelessly at the same time. I have to disconnect from one network and connect to the other.
    If I connect the dlink router to the airport express by ethernet and use the Dlink router just as a modem I think the issue will be resolved but this is not convenient due to position of router and airport express.
    So the question is, Can I get the Dlink router to join the Airport Express Wireless network wirlessly rather than the AE joining the Dlink wireless network? Any thoughts on whether this is possible and if so how?
    Dell Inspiron 500m   Windows XP Pro  

    I had one AE base unit, where network connection would disapear every other day. The light would still be green on the AE, but the signal from the AE could not be picked up nor seen by the computer. Only turning the AE off and back on, would make it appear and work again. I Changed the AE unit, and I dont have the problem any more. I didnt change any settings at all.
    So in my case, it was the AE base unit that was malfunctioning.
    I have also seen similar problems with a different cause: That the wifi network card in the computer wasnt connected properly. ..
    I dont think its a software problem
    good luck

  • Airport Express Base Station and AirTunes

    I was given an Airport Express Base Station and I purchased
    a PCMCIA wireless card (802.11g). After installation of both items I then upgraded the iTunes software to v4.9. I want to transmit music from my laptop to the Airport Express Base Station. I understand I require the AirTunes software butI cannot find a download site for that application. The CD that came with the Base Station does not have Airtunes (obviously an older version of the application software). Is AirTunes available as a download?
    Thanks

    Airtunes support is built in to iTunes version 4.9 - there is no other software you need to download or install. If your PC has been successfully set up to connect to the Airport Express wireless network, a drop down box will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes application window where you can select the place your iTunes should be playing (ie internal speakers, or the Airport Express).
    You did not mention either (a) configuring your Airport Express or (b) setting up your PC to connect to the Airport Express wireless network. To do this:
    (a) read the configuration manual for the Airport Express. Then download the Airport 4.2 update for Windows (from Apple's web site) - it provides the latest Windows versions of the Airport Express configuration software.
    (b) to get your PC to connect to the Airport Express wireless network, see the links to "accessing an airport network" provided at:

  • HSRP Config in WAN and LAN

    HI ALL
    I have a scenario where I have to configure HSRP in both WAN and LAN side of a router.
    Kindly find the Attached Diagram.
    In wan side the ISP has configured HSRP and they are using static route.
    The static routes are: to reach 192.168.1.0/24 they forward to 10.10.10.4 and to reach 192.168.2.0 they forward to 10.20.20.4
    Router A Config:
    int Fa0/0
    desc LAN
    ip add    192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
    int Fa0/1
    desc WAN
    ip add 10.20.20.4 255.255.255.248
    Ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.20.20.1
    Kindly Help Me to config Router B and Router C
    Regards
    Narayanan

    You can use IP SLA and EEM to shutdown the LAN interface when the WAN goes down and viceversa.
    You can follow this example:
    track 100 rtr 99 reachability
    delay down 5 up 60 ### consider it "down" if down for 5 secs, consider it "up" if up for 60 secs
    ip sla 99
    icmp-echo 10.10.10.6 source-interface F0/1
    frequency 10
    ip sla schedule 99 life forever start-time now
    event manager environment _interface_to_shut fa0/1
    event manager applet shut_some_interface
    event track 151 state down
    action 1 cli command "enable"
    action 2 cli command "conf t"
    action 2 cli command "interface f0/1"
    action 3 cli command "shut"
    action 4 cli command "end"
    You can find more examples in community threads.

  • I want to know if Ican connect a print server (to print with several wireless printers) to the new airport express given that it has wan and lan ports. Tks!

    The print server that I want to connect allows me to choose among 2 usb printers and 01 serail port printer. It needs to be connected to a router through a lan port. Given that the all new airport express now come with a wan and a lan port, i want to know if I can connect this device to the airport express.

    You're welcome.
    Beware that while USB print servers are commonly available and inexpensive, finding one with a serial port is more of a challenge. Apple Stores in the US do not sell them. Call the iStore before going there.
    If you need recommendations for obtaining a print server with a serial port, let me know.
