Airport Express an U-Verse

I know that there is quite a bit of information out there regarding this topic. I have recently had U-verse installed. All of the computers in our network at home (three laptops, one mac two pc) are connecting without issue to the router. The only problem I am having is getting the Airport Express to join the network to allow me to use airtunes. Any thoughts?
My router is a 3800 HGV-B.
It's settings are default and security is WPA-PSK
Any thoughts? Much appreciated.

Hi, Ashesh. Welcome to the forums!
You say you're having trouble getting the Express to join the network for AirTunes. Is the light blinking amber, or can iTunes not connect, or both?

  • How can i use an airport base station and multiple airport expresses with U-verse and still use wireless tv boxes?

    I just got uverse, and when I put my Airport Base Station in Bridge mode I lose access to the 4 airport express stations I have. Can anyone tell me how to turn off the u-verse wireless, set up a network with all the apple stations and still have wireless u-verse tv boxes work? Thanks!

    Can I relocate the airport base station to downstairs and connect it to the Sawtooth there for receiving wireless from the Verizon router and broadcast further to its wireless network?
    Sorry but no the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will not wirelessly connect to the network provided by the Verizon FiOS router.
    What you could do is get another AEBS, an AX, or a Time Capsule and place that downstairs. Then use that device to wirelessly connect to the wireless network provided by your current AEBS. If your current AEBS is not 802.11n capable then you would need to use WDS to make this happen. One bad thing about WDS is that each WDS link cuts your affective wireless bandwidth in half.

  • Cannot get Airport Express to join AT&T U-Verse (2Wire) for printing

    I just switched to AT&T U-Verse and now cannot get my Airport Express to join the network to provide wireless printing.  When I go through Airport Utility to configure the Airport to join an existing network to provide wireless printing it initally states setting change success and begins a restart process from which it never is found on the network again.  I contacted Apple Care who was very thourough in running various tests and settings and even checking AT&T 2-Wire network settings.  They even replaced my airport (which was 3 years old but covered under the Apple Care I purchased with my new iMac - very cool).  However, new Airport Express was still not able to join the network.  After another hour of working with Apple Care with the new Express the expert advised the issue must be with AT&T 2-Wire security settings.  I contacted AT&T U-Verse internet support and was advised they charge by the hour for network support and there is no guarantee it will be resolved.
    Anyone have this issue?

    Just found solution from another post from Mark:
    I had the same problem... couldn't get the AE to join the network. Here is how I got it to work. Go to the 2Wire config page in safari. For me it's <http://192.168.1.254> Go to settings tab. Go to LAN tab. Go to wireless heading. Under "Security", change "Authentication Type" to "WPA2-PSK (AES)". After the 3800HGV-B reboots, use Airport utility to configure the AE to join the wireless network. I have no idea why, but it works. The light is solid green and I can play Airtunes through my antique AE using iTunes or iPhone. Hope it works for you as well. Mark

  • Airport extreme verse Airport Express

    If money is not an issue, would it be better to buy a Airport express or an Airport extreme base station?.
    I have the express already but would like to upgrade to the extreme. "What" if any benefits can I expect to get from it?
    Thanks in advance

  • A Time Capsule, Airport Express and AT&T 2Wire walk into a bar...

    Alas, I'm sure this question has been asked before, but my reserach keeps turning up separate answers.  So I thought I'd turn to this forum for some advice.  Ultimately I'm seeks suggestions on various ways to configure my network to allow easy backups, connection two rooms, and wirelessly print from anywhere.
    I have a: 
    Time Capsule (dual band) - used for Time Machine backups
    Airport Express (older)
    and new 2Wire 3800HGV-B wireless modem/router from AT&T (for U-verse internet/TV)
    My room configuration is:
    Living room with TV, internet connected DVD player, and new AT&T 2Wire Wireless U-verse modem
    Home office with 2 desktop comptuers (no wireless cards) and a USB printer. 
    Two roaming laptops which move around the rest of the house
    The livingroom and the office can't be connected with a physical wire. 
    What I was hoping to do was setup my office with the Time Capsule in the office as a wired hub, and then use it as a wirelessly bridge to the 2Wire network.  But as I understand it, a Time Capsule can't be used as a bridge to a non-Apple product.  Please correct me if I'm wrong. 
    Alternately I could always get wireless cards for the desktop computers, but this leaves the printer.
    I've read suggesitons of people who have used their TC as the primary router, disabling wireless on their AT&T 2Wire, and hooking the two together with ethernet.  Others who just join the TC to the 2Wireness network.  But really what I'm seeking is a way to join the two rooms. 
    Any thoughts?  Am I asking the right questions or providing the right information?
    Much thanks,
    dana.

    So I figured I'd go with an initial suggestion and attached my TC via ethernet to the 2Wire modem/router in my living room, and make the TC my primary wireless router.
    Good plan
    since both will be in the same room, I assume I need to disable wireless on the 2Wire
    Correct
    What kind of configuration do I need to do on the TC, or do I just following the wizard and select 'Extend existing network'?
    You can follow the guided setup or I can give you a step by step manual setup. In either case, you will configure the TC to "Create a wireless network". 
    ("Extend" is only used if the TC connects using wireless only....you will be using Ethernet from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2-Wire to the WAN port (world icon) on the TC.
    The guided setup will normally sense that the TC is connected to another router and suggest that the TC be configured in Bridge Mode, which is the correct setting. Otherwise, select the Bridge Mode option when it is presented.
    Note....If you have a newer dual band TC, the Guest Network option cannot be enabled when the TC is configured in Bridge Mode. So, if you want a "Guest" network, maybe the 2-Wire could provide that service.
    Should I attach this (via ethernet) to the TC or the 2Wire?
    Pick a LAN <-> port on either one, your choice, whichever is easier
    What should the AT&T DVR be connected to?
    I'm not familiar with an AT&T DVR, but if it connects via Ethernet, you can connect to a LAN <-> port on either the 2-Wire or the TC
    For printing, my plan is to attach the printer through USB to the Airport Express and then connect that wirelessly to the TC network (though my first attempt at this failed to connect).
    Suggest that you get the TC up and working smoothly. Then tackle the Express.

  • XBOX 360, MacBook Pro, PC and Airport Express don't all connect

    Just got the new XBOX360 with built in wi-fi for Christmas! Also have a MacBook Pro and a PC connected wirelessly to my Airport Express.
    Prior to the XBOX 360 the ApE worked flawlessly with the MbP and PC.
    Now, depending on the day, either the PC or the XBOX will not connect with the ApE. I can connect wirelessly to XBOX Live one day, and not connect wirelessly to the PC the next and vice versa.
    Powering off the cable modem resolves this, but only for one day, then the problem returns. Any suggestions?

    By default, both should already by DHCP clients ... but it is possible that either or both were reconfigured with static IPs that may not be correct for your network configuration.
    For the PC, I would need to know which operating system it is running.
    For the Xbox 360, you configure, whether or not, it would be a DHCP client via the System Settings > Network panel. The key is that you want both the IP & DNS Addressing to be "Automatic."

  • How do I reconfigure my Airport Express in client mode?

    My home uses an AT&T U-Verse wireless network to connect to the Internet.  I also have an Airport Express hooked to a USB HP Printer to create wireless access to the printer.  With a change in U-Verse service, AT&T replaced my network interface with a new box, connected that box to new port at the sub-station, a new wireless network name and a new wireless network password.  Now everything works except my "wireless" printer.  I suspect that the issue is that the Airport Express has the wrong network name and password, but cannot figure out how to change it.  My Airport Utility is version 6.3.1 and it does not find my Airport Express.  My Airport Express is an older one and I can find no model number on it anywhere.  How do I reconfigure my Airport Express.
    Previously when trying to install an Airport Extreme on my system, I proved with several long conversation with Apple support that it would not work with the U-Verse system.  I had to take the Airport Extreme back and use two USB hard drives for Tim capsule backups, one for each computer.

    AirPort Utility 6.3.1 will work with the AirPort Express A1264, so something else is amiss.
    Power up the AirPort Express for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button on the Express for 10-12 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Express to restart.
    Open AirPort Utility
    Click on Other WiFi Devices
    Click AirPort Express
    That should allow you to reconfigure the Express

  • 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?

  • PC will not Recognize Wireless Open Airport Express Network

    I am trying to connect my computers to the Airport Express base station. Decided to upgrade the wireless internet router to n speed from g and the signal kept dropping. I've used an extreme and express at work set them up and have them running for both PC and Mac however, when i ran this express at home 2 MacBooks picked up the signal no problem however, the Dell PC did not. I disabled all firewalls on the PC, even made the network open with no encryption and still the PC did not recognize the device. It is not a range issue as i had the Dell 1 room away and even checked the selection for it to protect against device interference. The apple help told me to reboot and try everything i mentioned above. His final suggestion was to purchase a Mac, not really the solution i was looking for. Any help or further suggestions would be helpful thanks! I love Mac products and they just work so i am scratching my head over this one I am sure it is on the Dell side.

    Hi again,
    Yes you can use an All-in-One HP to do 'All' it's functions wirelessly... with an Ethernet Printer and Connection. (I believe HP calls them "Network Ready"). I am doing my HP 2500 series this way, and yes, it Scans too. It does depend on which printer port you use and how the printer responds. It's Ethernet Port works well, but the USB does not... tried both plugs with the Airport Extreme. Also, the Airport Express has both plug types, I'd use the Ethernet one.
    Another thing, I had to enable "AppleTalk" with this printer to get through the barrier and have it scan. AppleTalk uses the 'same' language as the printer (or visa-versa???), and I believe this is the way HP is using to have more of it's printers usable with us Mac owners.
    As the 6300 series is a small business printer, it should be Network Ready (and have an ethernet port on the printer) and be able to be done similar to my network ready 2500 series. But with two different series, I'm not sure how HP equipped yours... that is why it's nice to read up on all the stat's and work a rounds on their web-site.

  • AirPort Express cannot connect in client mode when encryption used

    I'm trying to set up my brand new AirPort Express in client mode to stream my music wirelessly to my receiver, which is on another floor of my house. I can't get it to associate with my Linksys WRV200 wireless router when using any kind of encryption. It works fine with encryption disabled, but I really don't want to leave that kind of security hole in my network.
    -Equipment-
    AirPort Extreme - v6.3 firmware
    AirPort Admin - v4.2
    WRV200 - v1.0.12 firmware (latest version)
    Dell desktop with Windows XP SP2 (Running iTunes 6.0.5.20)
    Dell laptop with Windows XP SP2 (running AirPort Admin)
    IBM laptop with Fedora Core 5 (for connection testing)
    -Procedure-
    Various encryption methods were set on the WRV200's primary SSID and matching settings were set on the AirPort. All changes to the AirPort Extreme were done wirelessly with AirPort Admin 4.2 on Windows XP SP2+latest updates. Here are the changes from default that I made on the AirPort:
    AirPort Tab
    -Name and password were changed
    -Wireless mode was set to "Join an existing wireless network (wireless client)"
    -Network name was changed but stayed consistent throughout the tests
    -Security setting was changed for each test
    Internet Tab
    -DHCP or manual IP were specified depending on the test.
    Music Tab
    -"Enable Air Tunes" was checked
    -A name was given to the share
    -Results-
    No Encryption - iTunes sees the AirPort Extreme and can stream music to it. This works in both DHCP and manual IP mode. Interestingly enough, when set to DHCP, it grabs the same address as the manual one I input, which isn't the next one in sequence for the DHCP server (192.168.1.250 instead of 192.168.1.103)
    128 bit WEP - Flashing orange light on the AirPort, no DHCP lease, no connection. Still doesn't work when a manual IP address is provided.
    WPA2 Personal - Solid green light for 10 seconds, then two amber flashes and back to solid green. I can see association requests in my router's log every 10 seconds or so while this is going on. The strange light pattern only happens when a manual IP is selected. I still see the association requests when DHCP is selected, but the light on the AirPort just flashes amber all the time.
    I know that the router's working correctly as my Linux and Windows laptops can DHCP and connect to the Internet with WEP or WPA2, but for some reason I can't connect the AirPort Express to the wireless router when I use encryption. I'd switch out the Linksys box, but I don't know of any other consumer-level wireless routers that allow multiple simultaneous wireless SSIDs.
    Does anyone have a suggestion of what to try next?

    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • Airport Express Bridge Mode Cutting Out?

    I recently wasn't able to bring internet to my bedroom, so I bought an Airport Express.  I didn't want to have to buy a modem, so I threw it in another room where I could get internet with my Airport Extreme.  Then, I put bridge mode on my Express so that it would spread the signal.  When I plugged it in, I got internet in my room at the normal speeds I get (I have very slow internet normally, about 300 kb/s.  I thought, great.  Then, about half an hour later, my speeds dropped out to about 50 kb/s.  I'm using a MacBook Air 2010, and it happens on all the other computers in my house.  It's really weird.  If it's any help, I'm on AT&T U-Verse (ick).

    I bought an Airport Express and plugged it in just to the power, no ethernet, and set it up to join a network
    The "join" setting on the Express will not provide more wireless coverage.
    Check the setting on the Express again using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just under the row of icons
    The setting for Wireless Mode needs to be "Extend a wireless network".
    "Join a wireless network" will not do what you want.

  • Airport Express and Belkin F5D7633-4

    I have got a Belkin F5D7633-4 adsl wi-fi router and would like to place an airport express in another part of the house to extend the range of the network and internet connection to my powerbook in certain parts of the house as currently the belkin wi-fi range is limited in our house. Would I be able to do this or will I have to replace my newly purchased belkin router for airport base?

    I got the Belkin F5D7230-4 you mentioned and try
    since christmas eve to connect my Airport Express via
    WDS to it.
    I tried all different encryption methods without
    success. The only possibility up to now was a
    complete open WLAN with no encryption at all. Then AX
    connects (not as WDS client) creating a new WLAN and
    internet access and iTunes works nicely. That can't
    be the solution?!
    Got a hint for me?

  • Canon mp600r wifi and airport express

    I have 2 airport express. One is a routeur (because there are an imac and an ibook)and is connected to dsl on internet. The others airport express is used to enlarge the wi-fi access network in the house.
    i want to use the second airport express for my wifi printer, but without the usb port (because i can't scan from the printer,and the imac can't see the scan;i juste can print form the imac).
    And i want to scan from the printer or from the imac.
    what can i do?
    thank you

  • HT4145 I want to add airport express.  I now have time capsule and I am confuse.  Do I setup the express and then time capsule to the express?

    I want to add airport express.  I now have time capsule and I am confuse.  Do I setup the express and then time capsule to the express?

    Setup the Express to wirelessly extend the Time Capsule, or vice versa depending on which one is already set up. Or you could use bridge mode which involves using an Ethernet cable or Powerline plugs.

  • How setup Airport Express time zone "Asia/Krasnoyarsk" automatically?

    Hello!
    I need your support to understand how AirPort Express sets time zone automatically.
    I live in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. Upon connectin AirPort Express for the first time the time zone was set as "Asia/Hong Kong" and the box "Set time zone automatically" was checked. Few days later time zone automatically changed to Asia/Krasnoyarsk.
    I wonder how the AirPort figured that out and why it didn't determined it just after connection? I mean why it determines it's location not instantly and how it figures out it's location without having GPS module? Can anyone tell?
    PS It is not a matter of great importance but i'm very-very curious what's happening with time zone and why it behaves so strange! =))

    I found the matter!
    If you make a clean setup of AirPort or TimeCapsule from OS X device u have a HUGE number of locations available in your AirPort locations list - including Krasnoyarsk.
    If u set up the same device (clean setup, after full reset) with a PC Airport Utility - u have only limited list of locations!
    The most interesting thing - that the list of location remains uchanged until u hard-reset the device again! For example, if u had set up a device from an iMac - u will have a full locations list even if you addreess you time capsule from a PC. Vice versa - if u initially set up the device from a PC AirPort Utility - u will not have a full list of locations even if u enter it from an iMac AirPort utility afterwards.
