Aiport Express Error 6753

Hey,
Just recently bought my Airport Express 802.11n. Installed the software, downloaded the latest firmware and followed all instructions but I keep getting this error.
Error -6573 Could not connect to your wireless apple airport etc etc.
Could anyone shed some light on how to solve this?
I am running this through Windows 7.
Cheers

I had a hard time to re-configure my Airport Express after an automatic update by Apple (New firmware for Airport Extreme) It just wouldn't work on my Leopard machine. (express was not responding, amber light flashing, unable to fetch configuration settings...etc.) Now, I've downgraded the firmware for the Express again (from 6.3 to 6.1.1) and i used a powerbook with tiger installed to configure the express. Now it all seems to work again. It took a lot of time to figure things out, wich is a shame, but I'm happy to have it all working again. And perhaps this knowledge is usefull to others.

Airport Express error 6753 and IPAD2 "interference"

Airport Express works fine with my pc(Vista) until my brother-in-law comes with his IPAD2 and connects. My pc will connect to the Express(wireless network), but won't go on the internet. Can't get the Airport Utility to communicate either: error 6753. When the IPAD2 leaves everything works fine again. Any ideas? Thanks

Cant connect to the airport express - error -6753

Hi,
I saw similar messages already posted but without answers.
I also get this message occasionally while trying using the Airport Extreme Utility from a PC while when I try from the Mac it runs ok.
The Airport Extreme is allowing both to connect to intenet.
What is the meaning of that error?
How can I resolve it in order to use the PC To connect with it?
Thanks,
Giuseppe

i too am getting the same error message when trying to connect to my airport extreme via windows installed on my mac. so far haven't figured it out.

Get 9672 error when adding an Epson 7800 connected to an aiport express

I get a 9672 error when I try to add our epson 7800. It is a rendevous printer connected to an airport express. The aiport express is an extension of our aiport network base which is an airport extream. I am trying to add it to a G5 with osx 10.3.9.
I can add it to our mac minis that run 10.4 with no problem.
I tried deleting the driver and reinstalling the latest driver from epson and deleting the printer preferences.
It shows up as a rendevous printer but when I try and add it I get a 9672 error.

The problem seemed to be that we were printing to two epson Printers, a cx5400 and a 7800.
I repaired permissions.
Then I deleted the epson print drivers by putting the epson folder which is in the Library folder in the trash. Next I deleted the printer preferences by putting all the apple.print files in the users, home folder, library, preferenced folder in the trash and rebooted.
I had to reinstall the printer driver for the 5400 first, It requires a reboot, then reinstall the 7800 print driver. Then I connected the 7800 from my g5 via usb, added the printer and printed. Next I put the put the 7800 on the Airport Express, added the printer and printed. I then printed to the 5400 and deleted the printer I defined to print via usb from the G5.
Now it works. I tried to install the drivers and add the printers in many different orders and it seemed to be very important that the order above be followed. If I didn't I would get the 9672 error when I tried to add the 7800 or a communications error when I tried to print to the 7800.
Support at epson let me know how to deleted the printer driver.

Error - 6753 and 10057 when trying to setup airport express in XP

I keep having this problem when i try and use my airport express. My PC can pick up the airport but when i try and click manual setup or continue i get error -6753 or 10057.
Please can someone help me out with a step by step procedure to set an express up with Windows XP

Unfortunately, things like this can happen when you try to use current software on a 6 year old product.
The solution is exactly as the message states:
You will need to use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update the firmware on the AirPort Extreme.
AirPort Utility 5.6 can be installed on a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC. If you do not have access to one of these devices, you might be able to take the AirPort Extreme to an Apple Store to have them update the firmware for you.
Once the firmware on the AirPort Extreme has been updated......then..... it will be possible to administer the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility 6.3.1.

Error -6753 when rtying to configure Airport Express

Hi, I've been using my Airport Express for a long time and I was very happy from day one, as I required a device to play my music and print wireless and the Airport Express was the answer. But for the past month I have nothing but trouble with the AE. I've hard reset the AE for so many times, that I've lost count.
I've gone through forums etc, and I can see that others have the same issue (Error -6753), but the frustrating part is, that nobody (including Apple) have a solution to this problem.
I've tried to configure via my iMac and my Windows laptop, but all of the devices get the same error. I've tried to down grade the firmware, followed by an update, but nothing.
I'm at the point where I will chuck it in the bin, as I had enough.
Can anybody help with this error and provide me (and others) with a final solution.
Many thanks,

I have used my Airport Extreme without problems for over a year. Suddenly today, it stopped working properly. I can still connect with my broadband cable modem (Motorola, via Comcast), but not wirelessly with my laptop or iPhone.
AirPort Utility finds my Airport Extreme (which I have restored to factory defaults), but I can go no further. Whether I select "Continue" or "Manual Setup," it tries to join the wireless network for a few moments, but eventually just says "An error occurred joining the selected wireless network." At this point, it provides this useless and poorly constructed sentence: "An error occurred, close the configuration window and try again."
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Airport Express listed in Itunes, but can't connect (error -6753)

I had to reset my router (Linksys) and Airport Express yesterday. Everything is reconfigured, with one exception. I have a green light on my AE and itunes lists it in the speaker selection bar, but it can't connect. I also cannot connect to the AE using the admin tool. The admin tool lists the AE, prompts me for the password then fails. In both cases (itunes and admin tool) error -6753 is reported.
Any ideas?

I can connect directly to Airport Express and stream via itunes. When I configure the Airport to connect to my new Dlink modem/router, the Airport light goes green, I can see it in iTunes as an option to select but when I select it, the "connecting to Airport.." box appears but it doesn't connect. I don't get an error message.
I've also tried configuring with no network security on the router but this had the same effect.
I'm having the EXACT same problem as nick.
I spent some time talking with support about this and basically concluded that it was an issue with the router (D-Link DIR-625). However, I've exhausted efforts with opening ports and even put the airport in the DMZ...still nothing. I'm hoping someone has some new info on this that doesn't involve a new router or rearranging equipment throughout the house

3G MiFi -- Airport Express -- Ethernet client possible? Getting error 6753

Hi All,
I am really struggling setting up a friends Airport Express (new N series version).
I told him to buy an Airport Express to allow his Home Cinema Amplifier (Denon AVR 1912) to gain access to his wireless network/internet (via Ethernet cable). This is to use Airplay, as well as the Denon remote app on his iPhone.
His WiFi at home is provided by a Three MiFi device made by Huawei (http://store.three.co.uk/Mobile_Broadband/MiFi)
His PC connects to the WiFi generated by this unit using an N series USB dongle fine. His, and my iPhone connect to the MiFi's WiFi ok too.
Using the Airport utility it sees the Airport Express, and I set it up to JOIN an existing wireless network (typing in the correct wifi password), and have 'allow ethernet clients' ticked. This is also named proxySTA mode I have read.
After setting this, the Airport Utility disconnects from his home WiFi, connects to the Airports WiFi, but then after this I constantly get error -6753. Firewall is turned off so I do not feel it is a security issue. I get flashing amber light on the Airport, or if green light it still will not provide his Denon amplifier with an ip address (Denon amplifier set to use DHCP)
The web server application running on the MiFi device shows an ip address given to the Airport Express fine (same ip address as the Airport utility shows)
Taking the airport express to my house I was eventually able to set it up to connect to my WiFi, and have a laptop connected to the Airport Express via an Ethernet cable to provide the laptop with network/internet access...so I know this set-up is definately possible.
Anyway, does anyone know if doing this with one of these MiFi type products is possible with the Airport Express please? I would tell him to buy an Airport Extreme if that is the solution.

Does anyone know if an Airport Express has any advantage over something like a Netgear Universal WIFI Adapter (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-Universal-Wifi-Internet-Adapter/dp/B003VIWJYI/re f=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332407475&sr=8-1)
for what he is trying to use it for, i.e. WiFi --> AV Equipment's Ethernet port.

Airport Express error (-15006) when trying to connect as a remote speaker?

I use an Airport Express (g) to port music to my stereo.
Recently it stopped working and although the green light is on (ie connected) when I try and connect iTunes to it gives me the waiting bar and then error (-15006).
I've tried doing a 'hard' reset on the unit and reconfiguring it but no change.
Is it broken or is this a software/setup issue?
Thanks,
Dan.

After reading dozens of reports about this issue in this forum I found my solution and I want to thank everybody for their contribution. Here is what I did. I think this can help many of you that are having your airport not recognized by airport utility:
1- connect your aiport express to your computer with an ethernet cable
2- while mantaining your aiport express connected to your computer by this cable do a factory reset (see apple support to learn how to do this simple procedure)
3- at this time you will see a steady ambar light in your airport express
4- launch airport utility and wait 30-50 seconds
5- airport express should now appear with factory settings ready to be setup
If you have an Airport Extreme base station and want your airport express joining your network follow the above procedure and TURN ON airport in your Mac in order you can access your airport express through airport utility.
I hope this help you. My airport express (n) is working again with firmware 7.4.1 that many people claim to have a bug as is air tunes. My house is a 2 story building and this airport is on the top floor where te network could be problematic but it is not.
Regards,
Jose

Error -6753 airport on pc with windows 8.1

hi!
I was getting error 10057 and I fixed it with disabling IPTCP V6 but now im getting error -6753.
any ideas.
Thanks.

Your screenshot did not post.. nothing is visible.
I cannot really help you.. windows errors are too difficult for anyone to understand even Microsoft. Some engineer who programmed it might understand but no one who is conversant with human beings.
Test with a different wireless card or USB wireless stick using a different wireless chipset so you can get a different driver.
Windows 8.1 is simply poor on the network side.
BTW the other cheaper and easier solution is to buy a cheap TP-Link, Edimax etc wireless router and plug it into the Airport as a WAP and use it for the windows computer.. that will often work.. they cost maybe US $30.. whatever that comes to in your country.
Apple make their routers to work only with apple clients. They frankly do not give an applecare if it works with windows.
Another suggestion in this thread.. Windows 8 and Airport Express
Turn off WMM in the windows advanced setting for the wireless.. the airport is not handling it properly.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

Error -6753

Hi, I have an airport extreme connected to a modem and an XP PC. I am trying to connect an airport express using airport utility, and have reset the AE during the process. AU can find the AE if I use a cable, and identifies it as an AE using factory defaults, but then AU cannot communicate with AE and gives the message "An error occurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device, make sure your network connection is valid and try again. Error -6753. Anyone know what this means?
I have recently moved back to UK but this hardware worked just fine in China where I had it all set up before.
Thanks!

My Windows XP knowledge is mercifully atrophying at a rapid pace, but that error is usually associated with a firewall preventing communication with the Express. Disable your firewall, "hard reset" the Express, and attempt to communicate with it wirelessly: connect to the AirPort Express's open wireless network on your PC. It will appear as "Apple Network nnnnnn" where nnnnnn = hexadecimal digits unique to your Express. Then, configure it using AirPort Utility.
Remember that the open network "Apple Network nnnnnn" will cease to exist after you are finished configuring the Express and it reboots. After configuring it you must subsequently connect to the network you just created.
Don't use an Ethernet cable since that will only confuse matters.
If you're still having trouble disable IPv6 on your PC: change it to "link-local only" or "off" if those choices are available.

Error -6753 and no internet

Hey Guys,
I have a big problem and can't solve it
I have a LG Notebook with Vista... I am in a student dorm with an ethernet network. It works if I plug the ethernet cable to my pc. But then I got an airport express to be able to use dorm internet through a wireless network. I installed the airport utility and configured settings... There are a few problems:
1) After configuration I am able to connect via wireless my computer to my airport express. But I can't have internet access (light is green, ethernet cable is plugged into airport express (If I plug it from airport express, AE gets a yellow flashing state))
2) After the first configuration AE is being unable for a few seconds (as usual) and my computer automaticle connects to it BUT I cant configure it in airport utility anymore and get an error -6753 from Airport Utility.
Maybe relevant: In summary section during the configuration there was a problem: Double NAT and in the explanation it said to change to bridge mode. I tried that as well but no change.
What can be the problem? I mean I dont have any problem with wireless connection but having internet access. There must be a problem somewhere between dormitory-network and AE wireless access?!

When you reset the AX, it should have reconfigured itself to broadcast a wireless network with a Network Name (or SSID) of something like Apple Network NNNNNN. In addition it enabled its NAT & DHCP services. Then, when you reconfigured the AX as a bridge, that should have disabled both the NAT & DHCP services, but left the wireless network enabled. In theory, any wireless device connected to the AX should be getting its IP address information from the school's router ... as this should "pass-thru" the AX directly to the client. Also, the double-NAT error should disappear.
Double-NAT problem has been solved
As a simple experiment, try entering the actual IP address of a popular Internet site, like Amazon, instead of entering the URL. For example, try entering http://72.21.207.65 in your web browser's address window. Did the Amazon.com website come up? Now, try entering http://www.amazon.com; did it show up again? If not, then your computer is not getting the DNS server information it needs from the school's router. Please post back your results.
I understand the issue with DNS but it doesn't work. With IP-Adresse or Domain-Name it doesn't matter. I can't open web pages or my windows still thinks it is local.
*More details:*
Connect Using: Ethernet (I use an ethernet cable (RJ45) to get internet from my school)
IP Address: 169.254.159.98
*Under Internet Internet Connection*
Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)

Airport Express error code -4

Hi, I'm trying to configure my aiport express but I'm always getting the following message:
'An error happen when trying to connect to the wireless Apple device. Check that the network is correct and try it again. Error code: -4'
The thing is that the Airport express is conected via ethernet to a router, and my laptop reach internet through the wifi Apple Network created by the airport express.
Can anybody help, please?

Bump for anymore replies
I am having the same issue but it is with an extreme not an express. Anyway i tried to upgrade to a new dual band router as this one is about 3 years old. Bad decision. When i tried to hook up my airport it was very slow all of a sudden so i deleted everything to start over. I have it working now (unsecured), downloaded the airport utility program. If finds it but gives me the error above.
I did read elsewhere that it could be related to the first generation mac book pros with the intel chip. I origially setup the device on that computer and now i am trying to access it through my PC.
Any suggestions?
