Aiport express to stereo wirelessly - possible?

Hi,
can airport express stream music to my wireless stereo (sony BDV E670) wirelessly, with no stereo cable?
all the configurations I see use a cable from the aiport express to the stereo.
Thanks

Sorry, but no. You must connect an analog or optical digital cable to be able to send an audio signal from the Express.

  • Using the Aiport Express as a Wireless Access Point on Windows XP

    I would like to use my airport express as a wireless access point so that it will connect wirelessly to my router and via an Ethernet cable to my laptop that does not have a wireless card. Also, I have a laptop that I don't have admin rights to, so I can't install the airport express software. I do have another computer in which I am able to set things up on, but ultimately I would like to use the Ethernet port on the airport express as a DHCP device that once configured it will automatically connect to my laptop even after powering off and on any machine with DHCP. I believe that this can be done - but correct me if I am wrong.
    So far, I have been able to get the airport express to connect to my router, but I can't seem to get the intenet connection on my laptop. Can someone help? Does the software have to be installed to work even after it is configured?
    Thanks!

    I have successfully gotten my AX to connect to my wireless router via the wireless client mode, but I can't seem to get the network connection to come out the either net jack of the AX.
    Unfortunately, the wireless client mode will not activate the Ethernet port. The purpose of this mode is to connect to an existing wireless network as a client (just like any other device connecting to the network) and be able to either/or stream iTunes or share a USB printer.
    The only mode where the Ethernet port is enabled, would be to configure the AX as either a relay or remote base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). But, unfortunately, your Belkin wireless router may not be WDS-compatible with the AirPorts.
    Again, the only Belkin routers, that I'm aware of that are compatible are the F5D7230-4 & F5D7130.

  • Using Aiport Express and internet at the same time?

    I was just wondering if anyone could offer any advice on this subject please?
    I've got a Macbook running through a wireless BT ADSL modem. I have also managed to connect the Macbook to my Aiport Express to allow me to wirelessly pipe iTunes through my stereo. I am aware that you cannot run both at once (i.e pipe music and browse the web) due to the Macbook being able to be only connected to one wireless network at a time.
    My questions is whether there is anyway round this? If I bought an Aiport Extreme base station, connected that to my wireless router and used the Airport Extreme base station for the wireless connection would I be able to add the Aiport Express to that wireless network and subsequently have the internet and the Aiport Express running on the same wireless network - hence being able to pipe the music wirelessly and also browse the web at the same time?
    Or is there another way round it?
    Any info anyone could offer would be a great help
    Thanks in advance
    James

    Ahh am I right in thinking this is the way to do it?

  • Airport Express for stereo / Belkin Wireless G Plus Router/

    Quicksilver G4 using Ethernet connection directly to Belkin Wireless G Plus
    Router . Airport Express working remotely via router to stream audio to
    loudspeakers. Was able to choose (from iTunes window) whether to play thru
    computer speaker (1) or remote speakers (2)
    Problem: I temporarily disconnected the Airport Extreme unit. No options now... can only play thru computer. iTunes no longer
    shows a dropdown selection option to stream to remote speakers.
    Have reset Airport Express. Have used Airport Setup to re-install....have
    done this using both a laptop G-4 (successfully to be able to a/b select
    either computer speaker or streaming to remote) but when trying to do
    the same re-install from the G-4 Quicksilver.... and getting a message that
    the installation was successful.... iTunes streaming network signal doesn't show up in the Quicksilver menu bar AND neither is there an option to select
    streaming to remote speakers.
    Other manipulation tried: disconnected cable modem, reconnected to
    "reset" the modem. Other observation: the Airport Express indicator
    is steadily green.
    I hope this makes enough sense that someone like Tessarex can suggest
    a solution to enable iTunes streaming with the G-4 Quicksilver, via the
    wireless Belkin router to the Airport Express and stereo. (I don't want to
    have to resort to using my wife's laptop to initiate

    With your QuickSilver G4 connected via Ethernet to the Belkin router, you should be able to stream iTunes to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by joining the Belkin's wireless network as a wireless client.
    Try the following...
    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
    Music tab
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (checked)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    - iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    - Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Airplay through iPhone using Aiport Express

    I have recently purchased a Time Capsule 2T for my new iMac (which is located downstairs in my office). The Time Capsule wireless reaches to my back porch. I have my stereo equipment upstairs, which controls the speakers around the house. Before I purchase an Airport Express to plug upstairs into the stereo equipment, I wanted to know if it was possible to control my iPhone 4s (while on wi-fi) through the Airport Express to my stereo for sound around the house. I do not want to control my iTunes on my iMac, (I already know about the Remote App), but I want to control my iTunes and Pandora, ect. from my iPhone 4s through the Airport Express upstairs to the stereo it is plugged into. Please advise me the best way to accomplish my goal of playing sound FROM my iPhone 4s (anywhere in the wifi range) to the stereo upstairs that is away from the iMac and Time Capsule.

    Hello Eric,
    With the iPhone ios 5.0 came AirPlay which will accomplish what you are trying to do quite well, with the help of the AirPort Express. The AirPort Express can be connected to your network with ethernet or over wifi. You need to configure the AirPort Express with a computer first (Mac or PC is fine, download the controller program from Apple.com) Once the AirPort Express is configured to join your wireless network, join the same network with your iPhone and start the ipod app to play a song. In the bar next to the volume control on the iPhone, a box with an up arrow will appear. tapping that will list the available AirPort devices. Choose the AiPort Express device you configured to send the song from your iPhone to the AirPort Express. The AirPort Express can be attached to your stereo with a 3.5 head jack to optical cable (available at radioShack) - or 3.5 to RCA connectors.
    If you receive an incoming call AirPlay will mute the song and let the ring be heard over the stereo (can be nice or bothersome...) and pick back up in the song when you end the call. The wifi range for the original AirPort Express wasnt the best, but the newest version is better.  (Note) multiple airports can connected straight to speakers throughout the house and be controlled from the iPhone, name each device unique to its location and have a slick way to control surround sound...
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes cannot find Aiport Express via D-link

    iTunes cannot find Aiport Express.
    iMac and Airport Express both connected to D-link wireless router (DI-524UP). Can see Airport Express on iMac Airport Utilities, and can communicate (do changes) via the D-link network. iMac working fine with D-link for internett access also.Have set up Aiport Express to serve as extra speakers in iTunes. Airport Express connected to stereo with cable. Can choose the external speakers in iTunes. Think this means iTunes also must be communicating with Airport Express, because If I change the name of the externals speakers in Airport Express, it also changes in iTunes after clicking "update" and the Airport Express re-starts. However after choosing the external speakers in iTunes and starting a song iTunes is seeking the speakers (Airport Express) without finding it. All devices are connected to the same D-link network.
    Working fine when I set up Airport Express with its own network and connecting it with iMac. Also I could connect my iPhone to my iTunes library (remote app.) This is not working in the d-Link network either.
    It's a drag to have to change both the PC and the iPhone to another network every time I want to play musik on the stereo. This is why I am trying to get everything to work together in the same network (D-Link).
    Somebody having met this problem before?

    Correction: Downloaded an update for the D-Link, and now the iPhone is working with iMac for remote control of iTunes.
    Still iTunes cannot find Airport Express when choosing external speekers

  • Aiport Express and Hi-Fi?

    I recently bought the Apple Hi-Fi and love it, but was curious if I would somehow be able to interface the Aiport Express to my hi-fi so that i could have my music whever I wanted in the house. I already have a wireless router in my house, so i was wondering if I would be able to transmit over my router to the aiport, which could be plugged into my Hi-Fi via the 3.5mm jack in the back. Anyone thought of this, or it is unfeasable to want to do.
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Kevin

    You can use your existing wireless router to transmit to an Airport Express.
    Can I use my iPod Hi-Fi to listen to audio from a different source?
    Your iPod Hi-Fi has a digital/analog audio input port. You can use it to play music from an iPod that doesn’t have a dock connector or from other audio devices, such as a CD player, stereo receiver, or computer. If you have an AirPort Express Base Station, you can connect it to iPod Hi-Fi and play music from a computer in another room using AirTunes. You connect audio devices or an older iPod using an audio cable with a standard 3.5 mm stereo miniplug. For higher-quality sound, you can connect an optical digital audio device using an S/PDIF optical digital audio cable with a Mini-Toslink connector.

  • Airport Extreme / Express: join/extend/wireless/ethernet

    Greetings,
    I have large house with a bunch of rooms, two home offices, 12+ devices(Mac's, iPad's, iPhone's, PC's & printers) that connect daily.
    I have two Airport Extreme's (5th Gen).  Primary is downstairts in office hooked directly to cable modem. Second Extreme is upstairs setup to extend Primary network hooked up through Gigabit Ethernet.  I get good coverage all over the house with this configuration.  Near each base station I get as high as 450 mbs on my 2011 MBP, none of my Mac's get below 144 mbs anywhere in the house.  You may be thinking this is all good so what is the question?
    My question relates to my 3 Airport Express's (latest model)  that are used primarily for AirPlay Music (works great).  Right now all 3 Aiport Express's are configured to join my wireless network.  I recently had some work done at the house and had Gigabit ethernet drops put in most rooms of my house.
    Would there be any benefit in hooking up my Express's to Ethernet to extend the coverage and make it even stronger.
    I have read that an optimal wireless network should be as simple as possible to reduce overhead, etc.  Would this help, hurt, or have no implact on my network performance?  If I could boost my wireless speed in my weaker zones from 144 to + I will get the cables and make it happen.  If not, I will just keep it as it is.
    Thanks for any input, advice, experience.

    I thought about that and was very suprised the AEx did not support Gigabit (I guess it has been out a while with not update).  Thinking along those lines, it wouldn't buy me anything and may slow things down.  Guess we can hope they release a new AEx with Gigabit support.
    I know there are many other range extenders out there that I could buy and would suport Gigabit but I'm not sure how well they would play with all my Apple Network gear (plus my range is fine just wanting close to base station speed)?  My question now is should I just leave it alone, would I really see any gains in speed, and would it tax my network performace if I added extra gear anyway.
    Leaning towards just leaving it alone - 144mbs in the worst spot is still pretty good I guess
    Thanks for the fast response!

  • Airport Express as a Wireless Bridge and AirTunes?

    I have a linksys router and just got a Tivo I was thinking of getting the Tivo wireless adapter but after much though i had a brainstorm
    What if i were go get an express and hook it up as a wireless bridge (connect the Tivo to the ethernet port) and while i am at it connect my computer to my stereo system via AirTunes.
    Is it possible to use the Airport Express as a wireless bridge and use airtunes at the same time while using my linksys router?

    To do this, you must use WDS. Very, very, very few 3rd party devices are compatible with Apple's WDS.
    The Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not latest versions v5) however are compatible with Apple's WDS. If you have one of those, it is possible.

  • How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

    How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
    I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
    I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
    I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
    I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
    My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
    I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
    My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?
    Sigve

    Hi
    Thanks for Swift reply.
    Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
    I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
    router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
    always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
    mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
    to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
    Are the A1088 now useless?
    The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
    Please advise
    Regards
    Sigve

  • My wi-fi worked fine on Airport Express two days ago.  Now the light is green, but I can't get the Internet on my satellite connection.  I've checked Network Preferences, Aiport Express menu, and the satellite tech support. The Ethernet connection works.

    My wi-fi connection from my iPad via the Airport Express Base Station on my home computer worked just fine until yesterday morning.  I have a Macintosh G5 with a satellite connection.  I could not get an Internet connection.  After using the Network Preferences and Aiport Express applications several times, then unplugging and replugging in the computer, satellite modem and Airport Express module, checking the satellite dish for any obstructions, and so on, the computer still wouldn't connect to the Internet.  (The green light was on in the Airport Express module.)  I called the satellite company technical support division last night.  The tech couldn't find any problem with the satellite connection.  When I plugged the satellite modem cord directly into the Ethernet outlet on my computer, I could pick up the Internet.
    Today, the Airport Express module still has a green light but still doesn't connect to the Internet.  The only thing I can think of is that lights went out for about 15 minutes yesterday morning.  All of my electronics, except the Aiport Express Base Station, are on surge protectors.  Why would the Airport Express module still have a green light if it was damaged by the electrical outage? 
    I bought the module in 2009.  I have never had problems with Apple equipment before this. Is this base station fixable?
    I would appreciate your suggestions.

    Hello everyone.  I too have experienced the same problem Mary described starting on the same day she mentioned January 12.  I have a G5 iMac, a G5 mini-mac, and a G4 laptop.  They were all working fine but all have mostly the same problem now in that the G4 does not connect at all and the G5s connect once in a while after restarts but do not maintain the connection.  In my case there was no power interruption.  In fact, the G4 laptop was not even connected to the home power connection.  My iPad2 and iPhone 4s wireless work fine and a wireless PC and Android tablet work fine as well.  The G5 and G4 work fine on an ethernet connection. ISP tech support (AT&T u-Verse) was very generous with their time in trying to solve my problem although it was established early on that their connection and equipment was working fine and that the problem was with my computers.  They walked me through a manual reset of all the particulars on IP addresses etc. so the problem was not related to that either. In the end ISP tech support concluded that the problem must lie with the Airport driver.  For some reason it changes the IP addresses to an incorrect address so it cannot connect.  Indeed when I tried the diagnostics on the G4 I got a window Pop-up that said an application had reset my settings. (In retrospect I seem to recall that I may have gotten that same message early on with the G5s but at that time I did not think much about it and went about trying to reset the settings but that process never concluded well) I think that the problem may be that there must have been an update of the Airport software that was not backward compatible with the G5 and older Macs.  I mention all this for two reasons.  First, perhaps someone out there who knows better than I do how to bring this to Apple's attention and perhaps they will address this.  Second, I would be curious to know whether there is anyway one can return a configuration on Macs to some earlier time period (as you can on PCs) when everything worked and then leave it that way foregoing any subseqent upgrades or any subsequent apps?

  • Airport Base station or Airport express to use wirelessly for dial up ?

    I have an Ibook G4 1.33 with a Airport extreme card.
    I currently have it set it up to the wireless modem that my phone company provided for me for my DSL service.
    Unfortunately I am moving to an area that does not have DSL service. I would like to know if I can set up my Ibook to use it wirelessly and have it connected to an Airport base station or Airport express in order to have my dial up service to work wirelessly???? So Airport base station or Aiport Express?? Many Thanks in advance- Geof
    IBook G4 1.33 12 1.5GB, Vintage Imac , Ipod with video, Ipod Nano   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    The only base station with dial-up capability (in addition to traditional ethernet equipped modem capability) is the AirPort Extreme Base Station w/modem. Check the Apple Store to look over the details, and make sure you are looking at the AEBS with the modem (there is also a version without a dial-up modem which will not work in your application).

  • Can I link Apple TV to stereo wirelessly?

    Hi. I want to get Apple TV for my parents. Their TV and stereo are on opposite sides of the room and they do not want to run wires across. I'm hoping to find a way to link the Apple TV to the stereo wirelessly.
    Apple Express has been suggested, but I bought one some time ago and after a week of trying to install it myself (and finding many, many people in forums who have been equally stymied) called in a local Mac expert who also was unable to breach it's mysteries. It ended up in the trash. I'm not willing to put my folks through that frustration. Does anyone know of another option?
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for the advice. Routing through the stereo is paramount. They want to be able to wirelessly play the music on their iPad through their stereo which routes to multiple speakers throughout the house.
    I guess there's nothing else I can do. Unfortunately, Airport Express seems to be very much hit or miss; not even my Mac guy could install it for me, and he has one at his house. I'll give the option to my folks and make sure they can return both easily if AE doesn't work.
    Thanks again. Sorry it took so long to respond.

  • Using Older Airport Express as an wireless/ethernet bridge

    Hi there,
    I noticed that people are using their Airport Express (n) products to create a bridge to wireless networks via the ethernet port on the Express.
    Is this possible for older non-N Airport Expresses?
    I read online that one could set up a WDS network, but I am having -no- luck doing that. Each time I try, I am prompted to enter other nodes on the WDS network, but there's a chicken and egg problem since the first node I am trying to set up keeps requiring other nodes before applying the changes to the configuration it is very frustrating.
    I have an Airport Extreme (b/g) and two airport expresses (b/g) and would very very much like to connect an ethernet-run skype phone to one of the expresses. I currently use one as an AirTunes node, and the other (the one I want to use for the skype ophone) as a wireless printer node. Is it possible to use the latter as an ethernet bridge? Can I do that without setting up a WDS network? If I have to have a WDS network, what are the step by step instructions I should follow to do that for all the hardware listed above?
    This seems a lot harder than it should be.

    +I noticed that people are using their Airport Express (n) products to create a bridge to wireless networks via the ethernet port on the Express.+
    +Is this possible for older non-N Airport Expresses?+
    It is only possible with the older Express if you also have an Apple main router and setup all the devices in a WDS arrangement. If you are having difficulty setting up the WDS on your network, reference pages 42-44 in the Designing AirPort Networks Guide for a step by step procedure of this. Or, perhaps you might want to use one of the excellent posts by Tesserax for this as well. See this post.

  • Aiport Express availability

    Anyone else notice that the Aiport Express is out of stock at 'virtually' all internet retail stores? My AE died yesterday and I was going to do an exchange on Amazon under their 30-day window but their best estimate for availability is October.

    Yes, I went to the Apple store in Los Gatos California and they didn't have any Airport Express in stock. I asked if that meant that there is a coming product refresh and the employee mentioned the Apple Event tomorrow. I don't mean he suggested the Airport Express is going to be updated tomorrow, he just limited himself to note that there is an event tomorrow in which most likely new software and products are going to be announced. I also checked by phone with the Apple Store in Santa Clara California (Valley Fair) and they also didn't have any. I asked again if the person knew if the product is going to be updated soon but this person had no idea.
    I am not sure what's going on. I'll wait and see if there is any announcement tomorrow. I just needed an extra Airport Express to extend my wireless-n network. I can live a few days without this.
