Advantages of using ATV Ethernet port to airport express

Any advantages of connecting my Apple TV via Ethernet.The extended from an exteme late model express is providing 300 Mb/s. at a data rate of -51 dBm in 802.11a/n.

Yes! Configure the current one as a WDS Main and the new one as a WDS Remote to a wired client. These instructions can be done with an Express:

  • Can Slingbox solo be plugged into the Ethernet port on airport express to connect to network?

    Slim box requires a wired connection to your network unless you purchase their sling link to create a wireless connection through your home electrical outlets.  Can an airport express be used instead?  Would the sling box plug into the Ethernet port on the express or though the USB port.

    It may be possible as the 802.11n AirPort Express can be configured to enable its Ethernet port for wired clients in one of two methods: 1) The Express is extending another AirPort, or 2) The Express is configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge.

  • Add additional ethernet ports with airport express

    Is there a way to add an additional ethernet port to an airport express via a router or some other option? I have a need for two devices using ethernet next to the airport express.
    Thanks,
    Guy Gadois

    If you want the AX to connect wirelessly to a network and then connect Ethernet clients to the AX's Ethernet port, read Tesserax's post above. This requires WDS.
    If you want to connect the AX to an Internet source and also have Ethernet clients you want to connect to that Internet source, read my post above. This is not possible using only the AX. You need a router with 2 or more Ethernet ports unfortunatley the AX only has one.

    in theory, yes, but you work network admin may have locked the network preventing this from working

  • Using the USP Port on Airport Express for Something Other Than a Printer

    Can you use the Airport Express for, let's say, making a thumbdrive wireless? Or perhaps a wired keyboard wireless?
    Will that work?
    If not, is there a device that will make a USB product wireless?

  • Use of ethernet port stopped working

    I use my Airport Express to connect to my existing wireless network (an Airport Extreme Base Station).
    For over a year I've been using the ethernet port on the express to connect to my Playstation 2 so I can play video games over the internet and it's worked great.
    Mysteriously, it recently stopped working. When I go into base station options (in the Airport Admin) it says "ethernet port always disabled when connected to existing wireless network."
    I don't know if it said that before when it used to work, but I'm wondering if something changed.
    I recently read through the forum and saw all the problems with the recent firmware upgrade and I seem to have successfully downgraded to 6.1.1 but the problem persists.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    btw, I tried hooking my laptop to the Airport Express ethernet connection to make sure it wasn't the PS2 that was the problem. But that didn't work either.
    Please help!!
    Thanks,
    Brad

  • Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access?  Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

    Thanks for the help.  Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible.  Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it? 
    I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located.  Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet.  Thanks for the help.

    If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

  • Can I use the Ethernet Port for a computer when it is also used as a wireless network with an Airport Extreme as the access point for the wireless network

    Can I use the Ethernet Port  of the A1264 Airport Express to connect to the Ethernet port of a computer that does not have wireless capability when the Airport Express is also used on a wireless network with an Airport Extreme 5th generation as the access point for the network?
    I have AE 5th gen
    looking to buy (from ebay) the AEX A1264
    Various computers, printers and hubs for the network
    Is this possible to do?

    Bob, Thanks for the info. I have read different articles that said yes, but I wanted to make sure before I commit to buy. I have an older A1084 which I could not use the Ethernet port. I know at one point I was able to when I was on 10.4. Now that I am on an Intel processor and 10.8 I am going to have to upgrade some of my Apple wireless hardware.
    Thanks Again.

  • I can not use the Ethernet Port to connect another device.  My Airport Express allowed me to do this.

    I want to use the Ethernet Port for my Apply TV for another device (Direct TV box), but it doesn't work.  I have Airport Express with an Ethernet port and I was able to plug my Direct TV box to download.

    It's not designed to extend a network, and plugging in ethernet disables wi-fi in any case.

  • Can I use the ethernet port ....

    Can I use the ethernet port on the ATV to connect my blue ray p[layer to the internet using the ATV as a wireless card??
    If so how??

    I might be next in line on the airport extreme! Right now wireless is working better since the latest upgrade to iTunes, but hardwire is the way to go. Only problem is that ISP connections is in my office and my Home Media is downstairs. I was thinking of setting the Airport Extreme as a repeater in order to access ISP and then used the ports in the back for iTunes and ATV.

  • To drive a monitor from a Mini, is there an advantage to using the Thunderbolt port versus the HDMI port?

    Is there an advantage to using the Thunderbolt port versus the HDMI port to drive a monitor?
    Can i just plug in my 18" LCD TV to the HDMI port and use it as a monitor?
    Thanks, friends ~

    Thanks, lllaass,
    I have a new Mini arriving tomorrow. It will be replacing my 9 year old iMac.
    I have at my disposal an older VGA monitor and a regular LCD TV with
    an HDMI input. I'm trying to decide which one will work the best for me. If I use the TV, I won't have to buy
    a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter.

  • How to find MAC address for WAN port for Airport Express 2nd Gen.

    The New Airport Express has a LAN and a WAN ethernet ports. How can I find the MAC address for the WAN ethernet port as my Service Provider needs it for provisioning....I can fid MAC address for Ethernet and for two wireless 2.4 & 5GHz but not for WAN ethernet port using Airport Utility 6.1

    Many thanks for the swift response. However, there is no WAN MAC address on the box or on the device anywhere. I even used magnifying glass to find one .
    The airport utility shows only three mac addresses. One for 2.4GHz, one for 5GHz and one fo the ethernet (LAN port) whereas there is another ethernet port in the device mentioned as WAN port and I am still not able to find the MAC address for the WAN ehternet port for Airport Express (2nd Generation).
    Will appreciate a response to make th device work wiht my service provider as providing them the WAN mac address is a must. Had there been an option for cloning mac address, the issue would have not been there.
    Many thanks again - in advance.

  • Can I connect a Vonage / Basic Talk pjone to the USB port on Airport Express that is connected to a cable modem?

  • Can i use my ipod touch with airport express?

    I will be staying in a hotel that only offers hard wire internet connection.  Can I use my ipod touch with airport express to have have WiFi?  I won't have my computer with me.
    Thanks!

    Yes, you can. However, you will not be able to administer the AirPort from the iPod Touch. Thus you would need to pre-configure the AirPort Express to work at the particular hotel that you will be staying at. Note: Most hotels now offer Wi-Fi in the rooms and the Express may not be necessary.

  • ATV ethernet port used to extend Airport extreme network?

    Recently bought a new 52 inch Sharp AQUOS internet ready LCD HDTV. Wondering if I can use the ethernet connection off of the ATV to connect to the HDTV, and then wireless network from there to my Airport Extreme/Cable modem. Can't determine from the ATV specs that this is possible.

    Thanks. Would have been nice though.
