Airplay express creating wifi but not being able to connect to wifi created

I have a Airport express and I am trying to make a wifi network for my home. When I make the network it shows up however i can not connect to it. I have cox as my internet provider and i can't get help from them. Any help would be great.

I am assuming that Cox is only providing you with a Broadband Internet modem and your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is the only router in your current network configuration.
At this point I would suggest that you perform a complete power recycle of your networking equipment. This should get the AX back to its default configuration which is to broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a network name of something like Apple Network NNNNNN. Once you verified that you have regained Internet access in this configuration you can use the AirPort Utility to make any required settings to the AX.
Please post back your results.

Not being able to connect to WiFi network

I just got my IPOD Touch today and I was picking up free WiFi and was not able to connect and now I have been trying to connect to the home network and it will not let me. I am not sure what I have to do to get the WiFI working. Can anyone give me any ideas. Thank You

The clock on my ipad seems to be stuck? Could this have anything to do with my not being able to connect with FaceTime ?

In order to backup to iCloud the iPad must be plugged into a power source, connected to WiFi and locked - meaning that it must be asleep - or with the lock screen only visible. This is for automatic backups.
If the iPad is not responding at all to any user input, try restarting it or resetting it and see if you can take the steps necessary to back up. You can initiate the backup manually as well.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I am not being able to connect to another Apple device using the Face time what settings do i need to check.The device being used is an iPad mini

HT4623 Since updating to iOS6 my wifi has not been able to connect properly

Since updating to iOS6 my wifi has not been able to connect properly. Has this been a problem for anyone else?

i have a iphone 4 and had a similar problem with the upgrade, I went into settings,general,cellular,and turned off icloud documents,passbook updates and reading list and it corrected my problems

Many ppl Not being able to connect to internet although wifi connected.

Other forums are recieving many posts a day on this issue, and as I understand it Apple are recieving alot of calls on this issue:
Description:
Connection to an encrypted wifi network seems succesfull, however when attempting to reach the internet Safari throws up an error - The server could not be contacted - or words to that effect. None of the Internet requiring Apps work although the wifi signal indicator shows signal indicating connection.
When you click on the little blue arrow to the right of the network connection you are connected to, in "Settings > Wifi" you see a self assigned IP Address starting 169.254 and a subnet mask 255.255.0.0, with possibly no DNS if you haven´t manually entered it and no gateway.
Peculiarities:
1 Problem is widespread, not tied to specific make of router or AP, also it happens to most people on more than one AP or router
2 People with this problem are assigned a 169.254 IP address, Indicating no DCHP lease of an IP address
3 Ive ran a packet capture using wireshark and Air PCAP and seen no packets for a DCHP request.... wierd.. it looks like its not even requesting an IP address..
4 Only seems to happen on networks using some kind of encryption be it WEP, WPA, etc...
5 Although theres bars in the wifi icon that indicate a connection, it cannot be connected to the network, just try and ping your device when its supposedly connected, look at the IP.. it cant be on the network.
6 Even if you manually imput the IP address, sub mask, and gateway IP it still wont work.
7 People with Iphones seem to be able to circumvent this issue or a similar issue by manually selecting the encryption method or changing the encryption method on the router.
8 Issue observerd in varied firmware versions
Possible Conclusions:
1 The Ipod is selecting the wrong kind of encryption when the enter password dialog box comes up? OR bad key negotiation between IPOD and Router.
Although scenario 1 shouldnt be the case as WPA and WPA2 have to be a certian length etc..
Note: I have tried connecting to the network by manually entering the network details and encryption under Settings > Wifi > Other and still no luck..
Questions:
Could someone with this issue confirm 1 wheather they are using WEP encryption. 2 weather it works on a non secure router or AP. 3 weather they are imputting the full HEX key or a passphrase?
I get the feeling if you use the full hex key it may work, ive seen posts around about having to make it recognise that you are using HEX by appending a $ sign to the start of the key.. although i dont know how true this is.
I have no access to the router that dosent work for me.. so cant do tests as my home one works on all encryption methods, but ive seen about 5 Routers and AP´s so far that wont work.. all using WEP..
NOTE
On one specific AP I connect with my Ipod and get no IP from DHCP so no internet, yet my colleague sitting right next to me with an iPhone gets a DHCP assigned IP and is surfing away no probs! it even automatically connects, and im very jealous..!
Anyone got any ideas?

This happened to my ipod touch recently, on my own network--it worked the night before, but not the next morning (even though I had a full wireless connection on the touch). I had to 'forget' that network and re-add it (including WEP) and then I was able to re-connect. no idea why this occured, but that did the trick. So far, I've only had to do that once...

Suddenly not being able to connect to Airport Express

Hi - I am suddenly not able to connect to my Airport Express, which I use to connect to my home theater for music playing. The light is green, I rebooted it, and in fact, when I disconnect and reconnect the base, I can briefly see it in the admin utility. After that it disappears. Airtunes does not detect it either. This happened all of a sudden. The only new thing is that I added two new computers to my wireless network, both with Windows Vista. I had to make some sort of update to my XP computer in order to be able to conect to these computers. Could that have anything to do with this? The error code I am getting is 6753. Thanks!

I installed the software in another computer, and it's not working at all (this is one of the new computers with Vista).
Unfortunately, version 4.2 is not compatible with Vista, although I understand that some have found a work around by running it in WinXP-compatible mode. I believe version 5.x does, however, it's not available as a download.
The following is a workaround for Vista from another Discussions member ...
1. You will need a program called Less_MSIerables:
http://blogs.pingpoet.com/overflow/archive/2005/11/16/14995.aspx
2. Download it to your desktop
Unzip that file (Should end up in your unzipped file folder)
3. Now, download Airport Extreme (works for Airport Express, too) software:
http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=14697&cat=1&platform =osx&method=sa/AirPort521Update.exe
4. Use a program like winrar or winzip to uncompress that file to a new folder
5. Next go to the folder in which you saved the unzipped version of Less_Msierables
6. In a subfolder you will see a file called Lessmsi.
7. Right-click on this file
8. Go to properties.
9. Go to compatability.
10. Run in XP Mode
11. Apply
12. OK
13. Again right-click on icon.
14. Run as administrator.
15. Then click on the ... button to browse to the folder you uncompressed the AirPort521Update (adjust for whatever version they happen to be on)
16. You will see a list of many files, but the one of the first will be APUtil.exe.
17. Extract this file to a location that you can easily find.
18. A file folder will appear with a name like cab#APSetup.cab1
19. Open that file folder and you will see a file APUtil.exe
20. Click on that file, and the admin utility will open. You should be able to find your airport device.

I'm experiencing wifi issues with my new iphone 5 not being able to connect to, or when connected not dowloading from my wifi network at home using ios 6.0.2

i purchased a new d-link dir-655 wireless n extreme router to strengthen my signal at home and cannot connect from the opposite end of the house from where the router is. When I'm near the router i can connect and download with no problem. When I move 10-20 ft from the router I can connect, but not download. More than that, I can't connect. What fristrates me is my old iphone 3gs is able to connect and download perfectly from anywhere in the house!!?? Do i need to replace the iphone?

I have the same problem, it's better trade my iPhone, or the apple it's gonna fix at the next upgrade? Please, someone help me, I try everything.

Able to connect ipad 2 to iphone 4s personal hotspot via bluetooth or wifi, but no internet access when connected via wifi.

I am able to connect my ipad 2 to an iphone 4s personal hotspot via bluetooth or wifi. The problem is that I only have internet access with a bluetooth connection. Both are running ios 6.1.2 and I have tried to reset both to factory settings. Any suggestions would be reatly appreciated.

Please don't shout! Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet. If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet? Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network? Or do you have other options?

Updated my 4s to new IOS 5.1.1 software and ever since i have not been able to connect to wifi

I updated my iphone 4s to the latest IOS software, which is 5.1.1. Immediately after doing so i could no longer connect to me wifi!
I searched this issue online and found that many other people experienced the same problem due to the new software. I have no idea how to fix this problem. I am also worried that this problem will not be fixed until Apply releases a new software! Does anyone know when this will be? Also, if i take this issue directly to apple what is the likelihood that i will get a new phone without this issue?

Some wifi routers seem to really have a problem with iOS 5.1.1 (and some with Apple stuff in general).
Try a soft reset (holding the home button and standby button simultaneously until the power off slider appears, then keep holding until the apple appears. Let go and let it reboot)
If you are connecting but aren't getting any actual data or a ridiculously slow trickle of data, try switching your DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4
If it was connecting to wifi before you updated your iOS but now isn't, it is most likely not a hardware failure.

Not being able to connect to itunes store

We have 4 iphone 4's in our house and wifi. This past week we could no longer connect to the itunes store. We try rebooting the phones, checking for iso updates and nothing seemed to work. But I realized that we replace the wifi modem last week, so I went to setting and clicked on forget this network and then signed back in and things worked again.

I've also had the same problem eversince the 7.1.1 update. I have tried all the suggestions on the website and these forums.
I even contacted Apple who have refered me straight back to these forums and the FAQ's.
I'm disgusted that the response I got was a bulk standard 'don't bother us' attitude.
Still in the long run it will be their loss as all these customers can't buy goods from them. I've spend about £60 elsewhere in the last few weeks that I would have normally spent at iTunes.

So I'm having the age old problem of not being able to connect to the AppStore but the thing is i can get into AppStore but when I try to sign into any account it says can not connect and I have tried my account on other devices and it works

I just need to know what I need to do to fix this account stuff

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Apple, please fix your connectivity problem for the iPad Air 2! Your OS 8.2 did nothing to fix this!! Very frustrating to not be able to connect to wifi some days!

can someone from apple please address the wifi connectivity problems with the iPad Air 2??

thank you for responding. My specific wifi issue is that my connection will disconnect then reconnect in a matter of minutes of each other. After an hour of this back and forth dance of connections it finally stays disconnected. I can go two weeks without this issue then it will start up again for a day or 2. I have done all the basic troubleshooting.. Including checking and restarting my modem and router. Our iPad mini does not have these issues. None of our laptops/iPhones or xbox have connectivity issues. I have found many other iPad Air 2 users complaining of the same iconnection problems on various blogs. One blog had even discussed the ios update and how they were surprised it did not include a bug fix for this connectivity problem.

Possible Solution to Apples not Being Able to Connect to WRT54G After 1.01.0 Firmware Update

So like everyone else that has apples on their networks, ours did not work after the 1.01.0 firmware update. However after a few hours and messing around, I finally got them to work with the router without having to downgrade to .9.
So far they still work thorugh a restart and a cold start, so I'm hoping that this fix will stick.
To get this to work you need to have another open wireless connection that you can connect to and get online with.
Steps:
1) First open up safari or whatever you use... (obviously doesn't load otherwise you wouldn't be reading this)
2) Connect to the open wireless network, and then hit refresh... (it should load up the page this time)
3) Go back up and reconnect to your router.... now try your internet again using your connection. It *should* work fine... and you shouldn't have to do it ever again...
Good luck, hope this helps

HI , just an addition to the above.....for MAC's go to system preferneces and then to network...choose you network card uner "connect using" and then under the TCP/IP tab select configure manually.....assign a static IP , subnet and gateway to the MAC along with the DNS entries....this static IP will work with the 1.01.0 firmware version .
