AIRPORT EXPRESS AND CONFIGURATION PROBLEM.YELLOW LIGHT NEVER STOP FLASHING.

good morning yesterday i bought an Airport express device.when I tried to install it ,the yellow light never stop falshing,for that was impossible to me to configure airport express.Do you have any idea to solve this bad problem?please help me!.thanks a lot.

Hi Irenefromitaly,
have you tried to configure your Airport Express via Cable? That's faster and easier.
Or you press the reset button for 5 secs and keep your airport utility searching. wait for some minutes, its takes some time wirelessly..

    I'm running Mavericks on a 24-inch 2007 mac, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, OS X 10.9.3 (13D65). The Airport Express is model A1264. I connect to it via an Airport Extreme with 7.6.4.
    Thanks in advance.

    thanks again

    Try using the process outlined here:
    HP Printers (and others) not on compatibility list and Airport Extreme Printing
    http://tech.ifelix.net/1300.html
    It make work with the HPIJS drivers, specifically the HP OfficeJet 5500 driver.
    Your 5510 is not supported by either the supplied HP driver, the HPIJS or the Gimp-Print drivers.

  • Airport Express and Flashing Yellow - Please Help!

    I just purchased an Airport Express and cannot get anything the status indicator to flash anything other than a yellow. I am working on a Win 7 64 bit platform and my router is Netgear N600 (model WNDR3700). The only changes I made to the router is via its utility to enter the Airport ID MAC address into the Netgears "Wireless Acces List". I deperately need input on what I might be doing wrong or need to do to my router's setup. Below are what I have tried and status info:
    What I have tried:
    1) Entered the AIrport's MAC address into my Netgear Router's "Wireless Access List", as well as the Ether ID (out of desperation).
    2) Installed on my PC the latest version of the Airport Utility  (5.5.3).
    3) Plugged the Airport directly in port 4 of my Netgeat Router.
    4) Changed ethernet cables.
    5) Reset the Airport.
    6) Rebooted the Netgear and my PC.
    7) Plugged the ethernet cable from the modem directly into the Airport.
    Info:
    1) When the Airport is first turned on (ethernet is already plugged in), the status light turns solid greem, then goes to solid yellow for a bit, and then immediately goes to flashing yellow (approx 2 seconds between flashes) and stays that way.
    2) then If I run my Advanced IP Scanner if shows the Airport, an IP of 192.168.1.20, the Airport's ethernet MAC address. The status shows "Ok".
    3) If I unplug the Airport and click rescan on the IP Scanner the device remains present but the status is changed to "Dead".
    Despite what I tried I get only get the yellow flashing light? Do I have a bad Airport Express or is this a failure on my part to properly set up the Netgear? Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    The AirPort Express flashing yellow means it it not receiving a valid IP address. This is issued by your router.
    I recommend disabling your Netgear's "Wireless Access List" until you get it resolved.
    One thing that you did not mention is using AirPort Utility. You need to configure the Express using AirPort Utility for Windows. If you don't have that click here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1391
    Read about designing AirPort Networks here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/designing_airport_networks_10.5-windows.pdf
    A new Express creates an unprotected wireless network named "Apple Network xxxxx". You need to disconnect from your existing network and connect to that network in order for AirPort Utility to communicate with the Express. Most likely you will have to temporarily disable any and all anti-virus / firewall / security software running on your Windows to do this. If you don't see that network you will not get anywhere.
    When you are finished configuring the Express in AirPort Utility, including addressing any unresolved conflicts it may report, click the button to restart it. AirPort Utility will say "the Express is now restarting" but the temporary network that it created for you to configure it will cease to exist, so just close the window. Reconnect to your usual wireless network which will now welcome the Express as a member.
    After it restarts the Express should show a happy green light.
    When you are finished re-enable all your Windows firewalls and AV software.

  • Vonage between cable modem and Airport Express is a problem

    I have my Comcast cable modem connected via Ethernet to the Vonage box which is connected via Ethernet cable to my Airport Express. When I try to connect wirelessly via my Powerbook it's a crapshoot whether or not I can connect to the internet. Mostly the quality is very poor if you can connect at all. If I cut the Vonage out of the equation hooking the cable modem to the Airport Express it works perfect. So Vonage is my problem and I need to change some settings either with my computer or my Airport Express, but which ones? I've been given several different ideas from the information I've sifted through (i.e. change the DNS, change the sharing prefs, get a hard wired router). Oddly enough an old HP computer I have in the basement connected to the internet via another Airport Express has no problems with connection at all. If someone could let me know which of these fixes I am preparing to try would work the best I would appreciate it.

    Interesting. So you have two Airport Express devices configured into a WDS, with the one upstairs functioning as the main base station and the one downstairs functioning as a remote base station. And your PC downstairs connected to the remote base station has no problems connecting to the internet. Is that PC cabled to the Airport Express, or does it connect wirelessly to the remote Airport Express?
    What happens if you bring the Powerbook downstairs to where the PC now resides. Does the Powerbook then get the same great internet connection as the PC?

  • I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac. Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before. I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings.

    Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before.
    I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings. I have also used Ethernet on its own but still get the same sound problems.
    I would love to turn itunes sound off as you used to be able to do, but this I believe can't be done.
    Has anyone else been having the same types of problem, and better still has anyone got the answer?

    When the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is connected by Ethernet, you will find an option in the AirPort Utility, labeled: Enable AirTunes over Ethernet on the Music pane. Just select this option to allow streaming iTunes via the AirPort's Ethernet port. You should also be able to disable the AX's wireless so that it shouldn't interfere with the nearby TC.

  • Airport Express and a host of problems!

    Hi I'm running a PB G4 10.4.6 with Airport Express v6.3 at work. I have a Canon i6500 and speakers plugged in.
    Work has a Netgear wireless network.
    I have three problems.
    I want to use the AE as a booster for the Netgear network but can't I only have 1 bar on my reception indicator.
    The printer stops printing on large files.
    My airtunes drops out continuously.
    I have trawled through 20 of pages of discussions but not found any answers that solve my problem.
    My colleague on an iBook doesn't have any drop out problems with airtunes but does with the joining the network and printing.
    I am sat almost on top of the AE!
    I have AE at home and Airtunes has never had a problem.
    I have no hair left... please help!

  • HT4262 I moved my airport express and now the light is solid orange.  What is wrong?

    I moved my airport express and now the light is solid orange.  What is wrong?

    Solid amber is an indication that the AirPort Express has locked up, or that an internal electrical component has failed.
    Power off the Express for a few minutes, then power it up again. If the solid amber light persists, the next step would be to perform a Factory Default Reset on the Express to see if that will clear the lockup so the Express can be re-configured.

  • Added an AirPort express and now I have audio problems...

    Hello here,
    I enjoyed to have music streamed at the same time to my two AirPort Express in two different rooms until yesterday. Today I added a new Airport Express and now I have problems to stream the audio to all the three bases at the same time: sometimes the audio signal is dropped by some AirPort randomly. Here is my configuration:
    1. One AirPort Extreme base station (main base)
    2. Three AirPort Express
    3. All the AirPort bases (4 total) are connected at the same Network through WDS (the main base is the AirPort Extreme one)
    4. All the bases are updated to the latest firmware.
    Any idea? Maybe the data is too much for the network to be handled? Isn't supposed to have limits, right? Theorically I could add as many AirPort Express bases I want without to have audio drops... or not?
    Any help is very welcome.
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Fabrizio

    An 802.11g network has maximum real-world bandwidth of about 25 Mbps; most people will get less than that. Taking into consideration the 2.1 Mbps worth of audio streaming bandwidth (3 x 700 kbps) and the significant decrease in bandwidth inherent in a WDS network as complex as yours, I'm not at all surprised that you're having dropouts.
    If you could run Ethernet to one or more of the Expresses from your AEBS (using an Ethernet switch if necessary), you could increase your effective wireless bandwidth to the point where your drop-outs should cease.

  • I just replaced my airport extreme and now the amber light on my airport express is flashing and so it is not being recognized.  I have been on the computer and gone to airport utility and it is simply not showing up at all.  What can I do?

    I just replaced my airport extreme and now the amber light on my airport express is blinking.  When I go to utilities and try to find the airport express it does not show up.
    What should I do?

    Anytime you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of that hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Please post back your results.

  • Problem with Airport Express and HP PSC 1410

    Please I really need help. I just bought a HP PSC 1410 (all in one) and I connected on Airport Express and I can't print trought it. I tried to connect it by USB and it work perfectly. When you want to had the printer in printer utility you can find the right driver for the printer. Rendez-vous can find it but you can not install it...
    I tried many different way but it never worked.
    please help me ???

    I suggest you return the PSC1410 for refund, or for credit towards the purchase of another printer. This printer will not work when connected via an Airport Express. When you purchase your next printer, chose one found on the unofficial compatibility list at http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1013.html
    In general, all-in-one printers are poor choices for connecting via an Airport Express. Even if you do get them to work, you can only make use of their printing function.

  • I have installed airport express and it lights steady green. But when I use the airport tool, nothing can be found.

    I have installed airport express on my Window 7 and had problem to find the airport express.
    I solved the problem by turning off my AVG firewall and  the airport tool found the airport express and it went steady green.
    I then turned on the AVG firewall again and it continues ok.
    But when I turn off and restarted my laptop I have to follow the same procedure.
    The AVG firewall is set to All Allowed for the airport express.
    Is there anybody out there that can give assistance to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    I solved the problem myself by updating the Wi-fi driver.
    Now it works perfect.

  • HT5022 i cannot install airport utility 5.6 onto my computer although i need it to configure an older airport express and base station

    i cannot install airport utility 5.6 onto my computer although i need it to configure an older airport express and base station

    Here is my method.. the software is free that is required.. always a good point.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
