Adding a 2nd AP Express to Existing, but Only Amber Light

An AP Extreme is connected via ethernet to the cable modem and we have a working Express in a distant room. AP Utility shows both the Extreme and the Express.
However, when I a 2nd Express, all I get is the amber light on the additional Express. I have reset it a couple times and tried in other locations with the same result. It doesn't show up in AP Utility.

Did a "factory default rest," set up and and now it glows green. This whole thing started so I could print wirelessly.
Was hoping to print wirelessly and have my Canon i950 setup and it prints when plugged directly into the the iMac or keyboard, but not when plugged into the Express. The i950 shows in AirPort Utility also. Have unplugged and replugged the printer and restarted, but I always get the message: "Error Number : 300 The printer does not respond. Make sure that the printer is plugged in, powered-on, and properly connected to your computer."

  • When I rec videos with iPhone 5 the sound doesn't exist but only a annoying noise..WHY?!

    Suddenly now when I rec videos with iPhone 5 the sound doesn't exist but only a annoying noise..WHY?!

    Only songs that are physically stored on the iOS device can be deleted with a swipe. Songs that have been listened to, and are in the temporary cache, apparently can not be deleted with a swipe. The easiest way to get rid of these songs is to go to Settings > General > Usage, tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list), swipe across "all music" then tap the delete button. This will delete ALL music on the device.
    Also, iCloud and iTunes Match are not the same service.

  • Acrobat will not accept installation on 2nd computer in full version but only trial or buy a new license

    Acrobat 9 Pro. will not accept installation on 2nd computer in full version but only trial or buy a new license; comuter crashed with harddrive; could not deactivate; this is a new computer to replace the old, but now Acrobat refuses to accept it.

    Hey mjmselim,
    Using a single user license, you can activate Acrobat on maximum two computers.
    You need to first deactivate Acrobat from the first machine and then activate it on the second machine using the same serial number.
    Please let me know have you been trying to install Acrobat and error message prompts on your screen.
    Hope to get your response.

  • TS1589 Had to replace our Airport Extreme when it stopped working (still under warranty).  Now I can't get anything but flashing amber light. Airport utility says "error occurred" when I try to get it set up.

    Had to replace our Airport Extreme (802.11n) and now can't get anything but flashing amber light.  Have gone the route of turning off modem (overnight), restarting everything this morning and at least when I turned on the laptop (no desktop) the Airport Utility opened automatically.  I put in the info for the Airport Extreme that we had previously (password, etc) but it couldn't connect (said error occurred).  I would assume this is because of the flashing amber light?

    I am having a similar issue.  However I've had my airport express for over 3 years.  Yesterday we had to reset the router as it wasn't broadcasting.
    Today having same issue so we reset the router again.  And now still blinking amber.  When I go to the Airport Utility I can't even go to the Manual Setup as I'm getting the Error 4.  Internet works fine as the router and modem are hooked up to my computer via Ethernet cable.
    I did a factory reset and the AE is broadcasting again.  but I can't get in to protect the network.  And it's still blinking amber.
    Any thoughts would be great.

  • Adding a 2nd Airport Express to extend the network using WDS

    I am a bit of a novice, but after I installed an airport express with my d-link wireless router to play itunes on my home stero, the music kept breaking up and stopping. I tried to change the channel, but it said mine was set on automatic and I cannot figure out how to change manually.
    So reading apple's suggestions, they said to get another aiport express and extend the network with WDS. I purchased my 2nd express today and have been trying to install it using the airport express assistant. I have had to reset the 2nd express and the original several times. However, what i keep running into is after it gets through all the steps, it asks me for a password for "this basestation". I have read several help topics and it looks like i need to use "public" for this new airport express. I get through that step and then it gives me an unknown error (-6753). Does anyone know what this is? Or is there a way to set-up the 2nd airport express manually? Do I even need a 2nd one? Should I just get an airport extreme? Will that extend the range of my wireless network? Any help is greatly appreciated. I have been at this for about 6 hours now. My wife is going to kill me.

    Will the manual for D-Link describe how to set up the
    first airport express as a roaming network
    No
    do that via the apple settings once its connected via
    ethernet cable?
    Yes
    Different channel.
    Same network name, same security.
    Ensure that distribute IP addresses (under Network) is unchecked.
    When this is done, will I still be able to play
    itunes through the first airport express?
    Yes
    Also, then once I do that with the first, then do I
    just do the regular set-up for the second as a
    network extender via the airport express assistant?
    Yes

  • AirPort express base station always on amber light

    I live in China and use a macbook and an Airport Express base station to acess internet. It used to work really well, but after I changed my internet conection to China telecom (using an Alcatel ADSL home plusplus 500 modem) I can't acess using airport express (because every time I conect it to the modem it does not work - doesn't get signal). The amber light keeps flashing... I tried through the airport utility, but the base station doesn't appear on the list.
    I also already reset the airport express base station. Still the same.
    The China telecom technician was not helpful at all - he told me he "doesn't know apple"....
    I don't have any problem with the internet conection if I use an ethernet cable directly from the modem to the computer; it only malfunctions when I connect the airport base station to the modem.
    Can anyone help me?

    Maybe Windows is trying to get an 802.1x authentication which should be disabled:
    Ensure that the Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network check box is not checked.

    It seems updating Windows XP to Service Pack 2 fixes that.

  • My Time Capsule does not recognize internet after DSL problem. I can hard wire my computer but cannot get TC to do wireless.  How do I reset?  I have unplugged for a reboot but the amber light is flashing.

    I had a problem with DSL service provider.  They have corrected their problem but now, I can only hard wire into my desktop for internet access.  If I plug in through the Time Capsule, I get no wireless service.  I unplugged the Time Capule and rebooted but now the amber light is blinking tellimg me that it cannot access internet.  So, I have hard wired back to my Mac and need to know how to get the Time Capsue to recognize the internet when I plug into it.

    Start with a factory reset and do setup over again.
    If the DSL modem is working as router.. which will be the case for most people then the TC must be in bridge mode..
    The Factory Reset.
    Power down the TC.
    Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
    (I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
    Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
    Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
    Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.

  • I am connected to the internet, but the amber light keeps flashing. What is wrong?

    What is wrong with my Airport express when the amber light keeps flashing, even though I am connected to the internet?

    The AirPort Express has a message for you.
    To find out what it is......
    Open AirPort Utility, select the Express, click Manual Setup
    Click directly on the word Status (3rd line)
    A window will open with details about why the Express is complaining.

  • Airport Express will not stop flashing amber light; Reset multiple times; Works for a second with green light and then resumes flashing amber

    I bought an Airport Express to extend my Airport Extreme about a month ago. It worked great until 2 weeks ago it started flashing amber. I reset it and set it up via airport utility and it would work for a little while, with great connection, and then it resumes the flashing amber light. Here is the error message:
    "This AirPort base station was unable to extend the wireless network. Make sure the wireless network you're trying to extend was set up and is working correctly, that you entered a matching wireless network password into this device, and that this device is in range of the wireless network."
    The Airport Extreme is in working condition, in range, and entered in correctly. I do not understand how it can work great for a second and then stop.
    Thanks!

    Power off both the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
    Wait a few minutes
    Power up the AirPort Extreme, and let it run a few minutes
    Then, power up the AirPort Express
    If you continue to have difficulty, ask Apple to replace the AirPort Express.

  • Added 8gb RAM to a L500 laptop, but only recognizes 2.99 - how can I fix?

    1000 words =
    For some reason it won't let me post a picture from Picassa - it was of my computer properties page.
    It says 8.00 GB (2.99GB usable).
    Please tell me this laptop can handle more than 3 GB of RAM. I thought paperwork said it would handle 8 GB... does the Win 7 32 bit OS matter in this situation?
    If so, can I install 64 bit Win 7 on this machine?

    If memory serves, I specifically asked for 32 bit OS due to (at the time) limitations on work software.
    I've attached the original PO, screenshot from Laptop, and picture of PN on case.

  • I have a new Airport Extreme and an old airport express.  I am getting an amber light on the new Extreme and a green light on the Express.   I have internet no problem but the status light is blinking amber

    I have a new Airport Extreme and and old airport express.  I am getting an amber status light on the Extreme and a green light on the Express.  The Extreme is blinking amber all the time.
    I have internet and everything seems to be working.
    I have reset and pulled the power cord on both the extreme and the internet block
    How do I make it Green?

    If things seem to be working OK, but the amber light is flashing......the AirPort Extreme has a message for you. To see what that might be......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
    Click on the amber dot in the small window
    It might be a message that a firmware update is available for your AirPort Extreme.

  • Airport Express amber light is flashing, but I'm connected. How come?

    Oddities abound in computerland, but this one takes the cake: I bought an Airport Express base station last week at the Danbury CT Apple Store, then spent hours, days, trying to set up a wireless base and establish a connection with my MacMini and my new AsusEee PC. I read and reread the Setup Guide; consulted every forum and every applicable website, all to no avail. I unplugged and replugged the cable modem, reset the A.E. to the factory settings, downloaded the latest version of Airport Utility, but the amber light flashed on and on.
    Then, about fifteen minutes ago, after accessing various settings that had produced nada results on previous occasions, a window appeared on my monitor telling me I was successfully connected, and by gum, I am! But I have no idea why--by that time I was too confused to be able to retrace my path.
    Then, with fingers crossed, I set up the little AsusEee PC for wireless connectivity, and that too connected successfully. BUT the Airport Express light, which has never turned green, continues to flash amber!
    How can this be? I'm pleased as proverbial punch, but I don't dare touch anything for fear of turning gold to dust. Does anyone have any insightful comments?

    When at first you don't succeed.....
    Well, since my last post--4/18--I spent many more hours and resets trying to get the fool thing working, and yesterday when I was just about ready to pack the AX up and take back to the Apple Store, I connected. How and why I do not know. Maybe it was all the resets; maybe it was kismet. Anyway, the green light is on and steady; I was also able to connect my AsusEee, and for the time at least I'm a happy keyboard tapper.
    Hang in there, guys!

  • Constant Amber Light - Airport Express

    I've been using my Airport Express successfully now for about a year to connect my Mac to a stereo wirelessly. However, today, the Airport Express stopped working. Essentially, the Airport Express just shows a solid amber light, and it is not shown on the Airport Express Setup utility at all.
    I have done a factory install reset, and the Airport Express blinks green when I initially do the reset, and then it turns to a constant amber. Nothing happens after that no matter how long I wait.
    Ideas? Is this a hardware failure?

    Sounds dead to me. One of mine died recently and was just like you describe.
    I took it as a signal to buy a new Extreme base station

  • Airport express worked fine now shows only constant amber light ?

    airport express worked fine now shows only constant amber light ?

    A solid amber light indicates that the AirPort Express cannot get out of startup mode.....likely because of a power supply issue within the device.
    Try a Factory Default Reset as a last resort to see if that might help. To do this....
    Power off the AirPort Express and wait a minute or two
    Hold in the reset button on the Express first, and keep holding it for 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back into power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart
    At this point, if the Express is operating correctly, the amber light will be blinking slowly and you can reconfigure the Express again.
    If the amber light remains solid after a few reset attempts, the internal power supply on the Express is faulty and the device will need to be replaced.

  • Airport Express (2nd) will not extend existing Wi-Fi network

    I am currently trying to extend my home Wi-Fi network (Virgin Super Hub 2) using an Airport Express (2nd generation). It will run on my up-to-date Mac or iOS devices.
    I am not able to get the Express to extend the network no matter what I do. I have had this problem really since I had it just under 3 years ago, but only now I really need it to work.
    When configuring the Express to extend the network it will either:
    1. Stay continually flashing orange after applying update, then say unexpected error.
    2. Or just go straight to unexpected error

    An AEX will only extend a wireless network created by an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. If will not extend a non-Apple router unless you run an Ethernet cable from the router to a location from which the AEX can create a new Wi-Fi network that covers the remote location. The AEX is configured to Join the existing network - bridge mode.
