Airplay speakers through powerline adapter doesn't connect

Since I use iTunes on my Mac Mini on my network & that my airplay speakers are connected on my AX via two Powerline adapters to send ADSL without cable from my switch to my AE (before I used it by Wifi from my AE, but the wifi was not enough to go from one floor to the other), it's impossible to connect to the airplay speakers from my Mac Mini. I can do it directly from my Iphone if my Iphone is connected on the wireless. I think there is a problem with the Powerline Adapters (T-Link AV200 mini TL-PA210KIT).
Can you help me to find a solution with this configuration, or do you think that's impossible with it ?
Thank you

After giving up making the Huawei router work with Airplay I did something that I believe confirms the router is the problem.
I plugged an extra Macbook Pro over ethernet to the router/modem and created a network on it sharing internet, printers etc.
I joined the AX to the MBP's network and it all works beautifully.
But having a MBP as a router seems a bit of a waste. I'm looking at buying a new router. Sure an Airport Extreme would be the perfect choice but a bit too expensive right now.
Does anyone know of any routers that will work well with airplay? Any particular brands besides Apple?
Thanks a lot!

  • WiFi adapter doesn't connect to internet

    HP G62-347NR, W7, with Qualcomm Atheros AR985 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter. I just finished replacing the screen in this laptop and the wireless won't connect.  Well, it did one time and I can't get it to connect again. In Task Manager the wireless adapter is said to be working properly.  I even uninstalled and reinstalled the adapter.  When I run the troubleshooter it sometimes says "connections available", sometimes "connections unavailable".  At the present it is "connections unavailable".  At  the end of running the troubleshooter it will say "Widow cannot resolve you wireless connectivity issue". I have checked the information entered and it is ATT****, proper security type, and proper password.  The laptop was working fine, just had a cracked screen.  I connected an external monitor to the laptop before I replaced the screen and the laptop and wireless worked fine.  So what do I do.  Thanks.

    Hello SamPrivett,
    It sounds like the wifi on this MacBook Pro is not working as expected. I want to recommend this article to help troubleshoot what is happening. There are different instructions depending on what version of the Mac OS is on the computer:

  • I want to set my system audio out to my Airplay speakers (through airport express)

    It seems like a simple feature to have.... system preferences>audio>main output then set it to AirPort Express, but no luck... any ideas on how to route system wide audio to Airplay? It would be totally ridiculous if this is not possible.

    Sending audio sources, other than iTunes, via AirPlay will require a third party solution. One of them is Airfoil by Rogue Amoeba. AirPlay starts it journey from iTunes. In turn, iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert the audio to a format for streaming to an AirPlay-enabled "speaker" (AirPort Express, Apple TV, or other manufacturer's device that is AirPlay-ready)

  • I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • Can someone recommend a powerline adapter that works w/ Airport Express/AirPlay?

    I recently purchased the Netgear Powerline 500 Nano PassThru Dual Port (XAVB5602-100NAS) and it works fine when I connect it to another computer in my house, but when I connect it to my 1st Gen airport express to use AirPlay through my stereo receiver the connection fails and it disconnects my internet connection over my entire network. Any suggestions? I'm trying to "hardwire" my network to my stereo because i'm getting frequent disruptions running it purely via wifi.

    Let's start over, please, working from the cable modem outward.
    It sounds like Express A is working fine right now with the cable modem Ethernet cable connected to the WAN port on the Express A. Test to confirm that the wireless is working on this Express.
    Plug one powerline adapter into an AC socket near the location of Express A. Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on Express A to the Ethernet port on the powerline adapter.
    Plug the other powerline adapter into an AC socket near the location where B will be located.
    Test to make sure that the Ethernet powerline adapters are working correctly.
    To do this, temporarily turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop directly to the powerline adapter near the location of Express B using an Ethernet cable.
    See if you can get an Internet connection on the laptop this way. If you can, then that confirms that both powerline adapters are functioning correctly. If you cannot get an Internet connection this way, more troubleshooting will be needed before we can proceed with the installation of Express B.
    Post back on your progress. We'll need to know what operating system you arre using on your Mac or PC to be able to provide instructions to configure Express B.
    If you have a Mac, but do not know what operating system it is running, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen. Click About This Mac, then look for the OS X Version number and post back with that info.

  • Apple TV 2 is not playing through Airplay speakers.

    I just installed two Airport express base stations, one as a router adn the other as a range extender. Both are connected to speakers for the purpose of using as AIrplay speakers. My other iOS and iMac devices recognize and play through the airplay speakers except the ATV 2 (firmware 5.2). ATV2 recognizes the airplay speakers, but always playing through the TV speakers. How can I make it play through the Airplay speakers? Thanks

    Very funny I had the beta before and Airplay speakers worked only for music and music videos. Now I updated to the latest and now I can use Airplay Speaker for MOVIES as well.
    But it works only with my ATV2 and not with my ATV3 (no beta was installed before)

  • When I launch iTunes on the PC, iTunes will not connect to Airplay speakers. Only after a new start of iTunes a connection is established.

    When I launch iTunes on the PC, iTunes will not connect to Airplay speakers. Only after a new start of iTunes a connection is established.

    Thank you for the suggestion, but the 'clean' install of iTunes (which I did twice) didn't do the trick.
    Anybody else have a clue?
    I spoke with Apple Care, who was also stumped. They think it might be a hardware issue (but were probably just giving up on working with me because it was free service/I haven't paid the $50). Still seems awfully coincidental that my Airport (1st Gen - about 4 years old) would stop being able to stream music through iTunes simultaneously with the iTunes update...

    Quite right, but as the OP does not have component or composite connections not important.
    To the OP, this does work, but is not the cheapest, and as it appears that Apple no longer sell an SVideo adaptor cable 3rd party it will have to be.

  • HT5517 How can I adjust sound level when streaming radio from my Apple TV through Airplay speakers?

    I have a 2nd Gen Apple TV with an airport express set up as airplay speakers.  I can stream the new radio through using the Airplay speakers pretty well.  The problem is that once I've got it going, I cannot adjust the sound level without laboriously backing out of the radio menu, going back to the top level menu then drilling down into the Airplay settings to raise or lower the speaker's sound level.
    Is there an easier way to do this?

    go to system preferences > Sound > Output. then change the output from "built-in" to HDMI.

  • Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

    Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

    Hey MarieF-D,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides basic troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108
    Troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
    Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
    Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
    Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
    Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
    Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
    Note: When using an Apple Digital AV Adapter manufactured before early 2012 with iPad (3rd generation), you may see the "This accessory is not supported" alert. Dismissing the alert will allow you to use the adapter.
    For optimal performance, you may need to adjust the video resolution or settings for your display. If your display offers an "auto detect" or "factory default" setting, you may be able to use these options to optimize video resolution and display.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • When trying to connect to Airplay speakers I get error message "The  network connection timed out" although some sort of connection is made as the speaker is turned on.  Same thing with Apple TV.  Is the distance from my speaker/ TV the problem?

  • Connection issue between Data service(DQ) to PI through SOAP adapter.

    Hi Guys,
    We are trying to connect the data services(DQ) with SAP PI through SOAP adapter. I provided the wsdl file to data services team and they are trying to send messages to PI. Looks like the messages are showing successful in there system, but not showing up in PI system.
    I tried the same file using xmlspy and PI receiving the messages from XMLSPY. We are wondering whats going wrong?
    Any idea about this data services system? Is there any other better way to receive messages to PI apart from webservices?
    PS: Connection is working fine from PI to DQ thorugh SOAP adapter.
    Thanks
    Deepthi.

    >>>> We are trying to connect the data services(DQ) with SAP PI through SOAP adapter. I provided the wsdl file to data services team and they are trying to send messages to PI. Looks like the messages are showing successful in there system, but not showing up in PI system.
    You are using soap sender  adapter ... Hosting webservices and DQ team is able to access your webservice.  Also using XMLSPY you are able to see pi messages.
    If you are using advance adapter engine, Please check only in the RWB -> adapter engine.
    If you are not using AAE, check in both SXMB_MONI and RWB for the wide range... Something problem with filter query in your checking...
    Note  since XMLSPY testing goes through Pi and able to monitor means you dont need another webservice client tool. 
    Solution:
    use tcp monitor to monitor the soap message ... It is better option

  • HT5517 changing airplay speakers doesn't work, also photostream

    I have a network of airplay speakers that work perfectly all over my house from my iPhone and mac perfectly.  I was playing around with my newest generation Apple TV 1080P, and while it finds all of the rooms, when I select another room no sound comes out.  I am very confused.  Also, I noticed that my photostream has not updated in a while.  I restarted the Apple TV and it added another 50 photos or so, but still 100 short of the photos I had updated.

    Then this function in Airplay settings is completely useless.  It's just a screen.  What is the point of being able to select a different room through the AppleTV (with a checkmark), and nothing happens?  It was one of the touted features of the latest update for the AppleTV.
    Here is the note from Apple TV Support Section. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5517
    Changing AirPlay speakers
    You can use AirPlay to play music or other audio content on the Apple TV on other AirPlay speakers.

  • Powerline adapter connection to switch

    Hi,
    I have had BT Infinity installed last week and quickly found out that my speeds are much better wired than wireless.
    After a little research, I am planning to buy the following two products:
    TP-Link PA411KIT AV500 500 Mbps Powerline Adapter - Twin Pack
    TP-Link TL-SG1005D 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch
    The plan is to connect an ethernet cable from my HomeHub3 into one of the powerline adapters, and put the other powerline adapter in my upstairs bedroom and connect an ethernet cable from that to 1 of the 5 ports on the desktop switch.
    Will this planned setup allow me to use the remaining 4 ports to connect my laptop, xbox 360, and sky+HD box in my upstairs bedroom using ethernet cables whilst maintaining wired internet speeds?
    It's going to be £50 to put in place so I'd rather know beforehand whether or not I'm wasting my time with this.
    Thanks in advance.

    I find the speed is just like wired but with infinity speed you may find a slight drop but will be alot better than wireless.  you should be able to connect your devices to the switch without a problem
