Airport express/Apple Tv to an Aircraft entertainment
Hi Apple support community,
We would like to create a WIFI network onboard of an aircraft (without internet connexion) via an Airport express box.
Then to connect an Apple TV box to this wifi. This Apple Tv box connected to the aircraft entertainment.
The connection between the apple TV and the aircraft will be done by an HDMI/AV cable.
We would like to display video or audio from our Iphone 5s/ipad mini to the aircraft.
Do you think that it can works ?
If the wifi speed will enought to watch movies ?
Thanks a lot for your support and have a nice day
all the best,
Philippe
Yes that should be fine. You would be streaming content stored on the iPhone or iPad over the local network so connection speed would not be relevant. It would be best to connect ATV to the router via ethernet.

Airport Express/Apple TV Support?
Hey,
Have been searching through the forums but unable to locate any information around support for Apple TV With Aiport Express
In short, I have an iMac, MBPro, iPad, iPhone 4 and Apple TV. Just moved in to a new flat and looking at how to get a multi room audio set up going on.
If I get the airport plugs, I can jack speakers in to these thats clear, but can I stream audio from apple tv or better yet just my tv so I can get a surround sound set up in addition to the wireless music playback?
ThanksGwames
Just worked on a similar situation.
Client has iPad 2, Mac Book, Airport Express and Apple TV
You're looking to get Multiroom so you might want to consider this link:
Air play Multi Room Audio Speaker
Here is some other information on Whole Home Audio
And here are some tips and a video on Apple TV
Just to let you know, Apple policy wants to make sure you know by visiting the links we might benefit by your visit such as you might decide to come back or you might tell friends and we could even profit somehow.
Post any other questions you have.....and check out the video at the bottom of the Apple TV link, it has a suer short video -
HT4259 Airport Express Ethernet port used for home entertainment?
I use my Airport Express to extend my network with my 2TB TimeCapsule base station. The Airport Express has one ethernet port. Can I buy some other device with say 3 or 4 ethernet ports and plug it into the one ethernet port on the AP Express to connect all my home entertainment devices? What should I buy if this can work?
As long as you are talking about the N version of the Express.. what is often called Gen1.. then any switch will do the job. The express is only 100mbit.
The cost of network switch is $20-40 depending on the number of ports and if it is older 10/100 or gigabit.. IMHO buy 8 port gigabit.. any brand you want,, they are much the same.. metal case ones are nicer than plastic.. but they are cheap consumer item in any computer store.
If you buy what I suggest, it will be useful well into the future.. the slower 5 port is cheaper but the usefulness of it into the future is questionable.. -
Airport Express & Apple TV Setup Problems
I am having some strange problems with my network. First, I reset my Airport Express and went through the steps of connecting it to stream music, however, the Airport Utility will not recognize it after restarting (I can do a hard reset and it will find the unit, but then hangs up over and over at the same point).
Also, at the same time, my Apple TV is showing in iTunes, can stream music and movies, but is not showing in the Airport Utility and will not sync.
I am not sure what I might have changed...any ideasI am on 10.5.8. When I do a hard reset the airport Express, the computer finds it, however, after going through the steps to add it to my network to stream iTunes, it restarts and the computer can't find it (light continuously blinks amber).
The AppleTV is showing in my iTunes, but NOT in my list of wireless devices and it won't sync. So it does stream movies and music, just won't sync. When I try and sync it, I get a firewall error, but I have my firewall settings to allow all incoming devices.
Should I just reset everything and try and start over? -
Airport Express, Apple TV & My Network
Okay, I'm not sure if this will work.
I have 2 computers in my office.
My DSL connection is there, under a thick heavy, unmoveable desk and shelf.
My Mac Pro connects with Ethernet, My iMac G4 (spiffed up) connects with airport extreme.
The wireless signal doesn't go very far in my small house.
Can I extend my signal with airport express and will it be like wireless go between?
My big tv and new apple TV (opening it on Christmas) are in the other part of the house.
I can get a neighbors internet signal back there, but I can't see my own network back there.
Will I be able to access my iTunes on the desktop computers if I can only use my neighbor's signal and not mine?
I'm having trouble figuring out how my Apple TV is going to work. Plus my new iPad (another Xmas gift) will need a wifi signal back there too.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
thanks,
ANNE ZNow I get a message on my airport express that my 2 networks can't be extended.
what am I doing wrong? -
Airport Express Apple TV and free wifi set up
I have a vacation rental in a condominium and would like to set up Apple TV. I don't want to incur the cost of internet access. My husband has been able to pickup free wi-fi signal/s from the area for his laptop but the strength varies.
I was wondering if I can use airport express to pick up and offer a stronger signal. Then use the Apple TV with it. Would I need a Mac/PC to set it up? My husband has a pc laptop and I have a Mac desktop which I can't transport. Can I use my ipod touch?So is the wifi actually there as a free wifi or are you just using someone else's who hasn't secured it. There may be problems with each. Free wifi often comes with restrictions, movie downloads my well be far too slow to be useful, you could try renting a movie on the laptop to test this.
If you are just using someone else's that hasn't secured it, you could of course find that they do secure it should they discover often and frequent usage. -
can you use airport express for apple tv?
If your question is "will Apple TV connect wirelessly to an Airport Express?" - the answer is yes. I use an Airport Express to connect to my Internet broadband DSL line and I have an Apple TV that has Netflix service streaming movies to my TV.

Apple tv and airport express, apple tv and airport express
Simple questions from novice: If I have Apple TV, would there be a need to also have Airport Express? What is the main difference?
An Apple TV will work on any WiFi network so an AirPort Express is not required.
For the most part an ATV and an AirPort are 2 completely different devices. An Apple TV is intended to be connected to a TV and a home theater receiver for streaming audio and video. Even for audio the artwork will be displayed on the TV screen as well as all the menus.
An AirPort Express is a wireless network adapter for setting up a or extending a WiFi network. As a bonus it has an audio out jack which is used with AirPlay which is built into iTunes and iOS devices for an external speaker. It can also be used to create a wireless printer using it's USB port.

Airport Express & Apple TV in Large house with lots of concrete!
Hi there
I have set up an AX & Apple TV network in a large house (not my own mind you) as follows:
1x AX(n) upstairs acting as base station
1x AX(n) downstairs at a Hi Fi audio system (using with Airtunes)
1x AppleTV upstairs in TV Room
1x PC with windoze Vista with Netgear RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N USB-WN111-100ISS
The problem/scenario is this:
1. The house walls are all concrete and has a lot of angles, so the range is very limited due to no line of site connections.
2. Although all devices see each other, it is really at the edge of the range and sometimes when using an iphone as a remote for instance downstairs at the HiFi, one loses the connection to the network.
3. Furthermore the network needs to be expanded to include an AX in the main bedroom that is also upstairs but at the opposite end of the house.
4. The people of the house wants to use their iphones as remotes with Airtunes & Apple TV.
The questions:
1.)Will the range of the network be much larger/stronger if I replace the AX I am currently using as router/base station with an AEBS?
2.)Also, If i want to extend the network to the patio (downstairs outside about 80ft), can I set the AX that is plugged in to the HiFi (for Airtunes) to also extend the network or will this take away the Airtunes functionality?
3.) Will the use of iphones on this network not "downgrade" the network from N to G?
Thanks a lot for the help!Thanks a lot John

You described what I have in mind, though for bandwidth purposes I envisioned dedicating the "n" network to your wireless computers, Airtunes, and AppleTV, and the "g" network strictly for the iPhone. This assumes both your Expresses are the newer ones capable of 802.11n.
I might also add that this setup will be strictly used for Airtunes and AppleTV. The only computer connected to it will be the PC that the music gets streamed from. So therefore I there is no "real" need for N capabilities on the AEX's as it will only be iphones and airtunes running on it. Also the house is on a farm so the closest interference apart from microwaves and cordless phones are probably 10km away
I will first try this setup with a:
1.N network between the AppleTV and AEBS
2.G network between AEBS and AEX for Airtunes and Iphone remote.
I see where you are coming from with the N network for the AEX & Airtunes, but this will mean I will have to buy not only a new dualband AEBS and new AEX (which I have to buy anyway to extend the network) but also buy an additional 2 or 3 AEX's, which will make it a pretty pricey picnic.
So I will first try my luck with a G network for Airtunes.
Now I just have to sit and wait patiently for the incompetent agents in South Africa to get the new dualband AEBS in... (yes we dont have an "official" Apple presence in SA and yes the "official agents" are useless and yes it will probably take another 8 weeks for it to arrive in SA with the new iMacs, mini's and pro's and yes the agents' service and support will be nonexistent to mediocre.... IF we are lucky..)
Nevertheless, with that rant out of the way, thanks again for the help! -
I was told I could set a local network with the airport express, apple Tv, and my iPad to stream videos or pictures to a TV for a presentation.
No internet connection is available at the location.
Is that possible? Or do I need to access itunes homeshare with an internet connection to make this work?
I've set it up at home where I have an internet connection and it works fine but I want to move the setup to my church for a class. The data I'm using is stored on my ipad.
I know I can do this wired with the HDMI adapter but would like to do it wireless.
Thanks for any help!Ok so we now have a solution to the problem. A friend of mine came round to work this out with me last night and we were able to get it working, but it is not as easy as I had hoped. Fisrtly we plugged the airport express into my router using the ethernet cable (for this I am using an Airport Express Base Station") and in airport utilities selected the airport express. In edit, we then gave the airport express a new range of IP address which did not conflict with any of the other applications that I have already assigned. We also named the Airport Express with a distinguishable name. We then waited for the changes to be registered then unplugged the Airport Express from the router. I then plugged my AppleTV via HDMI into a tv to test it and selected the new wifi network with the new Airport Express distinguishable name. I was able to watch a video that I have on my ipad directly on my tv without being connected to the internet, and was able to play Airplay presentations.
No the easiest solution, and certainly not something that anyone at Apple has talked me through in my lengthy conversations with them at Applecare.
Hope this helps. -
Can connect wireless speakers to my airport express
im looking to have 2 aiport express units in my house, one for the kitchen area and one for the bedroom/bathroom. i understand i will not be able to stream 2 different playlists through the 2 different airports at the same time, is that correct?
if i have wireless speakers can i stream music to both the bathroom and the bedroom from one airport?
and finally, i have an apple mac, other than that, and aquiring the APE, is there anything else i need to buy, apple-wise, that i will need to make this work?(other than speakers of course)
thanks for your help in advanceim looking to have 2 aiport express units in my house, one for the kitchen area and one for the bedroom/bathroom. i understand i will not be able to stream 2 different playlists through the 2 different airports at the same time, is that correct?
That is correct. You cannot stream different iTunes playlist to separate AirPlay speakers. You can, however, stream the same playlist to multiple AirPlay speakers simultaneously.
if i have wireless speakers can i stream music to both the bathroom and the bedroom from one airport?
Unless these "wireless speakers" are AirPlay-enabled, then I believe the answer is no. That is because the speaker would have to be physically connected to the AirPort Express via the appropriate audio cable to receive the stream from the base station.
and finally, i have an apple mac, other than that, and aquiring the APE, is there anything else i need to buy, apple-wise, that i will need to make this work?(other than speakers of course)
Basically, you just need an iTunes server (iTunes host computer or iOS device) and an AirPlay speaker (AirPort Express, Apple TV, or other dedicated AirPlay devices from other manufacturers) to stream. What you currently have should do the trick. -
Does Airport Express need to be configured to allow AirPlay to work between an iPhone 4s and an iPad2?
Also, attempting to use Airplay with iOS7 shuts off sound to the speakers while allowing sound thru the ear buds! The fix was to restart by depressing the lock switch (opposite the sound out port).Does Airport Express need to be configured to allow AirPlay to work between an iPhone 4s and an iPad2?
You need a minimum of three things for AirPlay:
An iTunes host. This can be a Mac, PC, or iOS device.
A wired or wireless network.
An AirPlay Speaker. This can be an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or a AirPlay-Ready device.
Is your goal to stream between two iOS devices? -
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)

Getting the Most Out of My Airport Express Base Station, Part# MB321LLA
I'm assigned in northern Europe and have recently ordered an Airport Express Base Station through the APO (US Military Postal Service). It hasn't arrived yet and I decided to read up on it's positives and negatives. I currently have an Apple iMac 27" and a HP PC on my wireless network at home. I recently purchased an iPad2 and enjoy using it over my wireless network while sitting in the living room in the evenings. Unfortunately, the wireless signal alternates between 1 and 2 bars (sometimes even 0 bars) causing considerable delay in downloading and surfing the web on my new iPad2. I recently purchased a new LED Samsung "Smart System" HD TV and plan on setting it up in the living room this next weekend (replacing a very old TV). Part of my plan was to order (which I have along with the Airport Express) Apple TV and hook it up to the new HD TV at the same time. I was concerned about the wireless signal strength, due to the non-Apple wireless router being on the far end of my home, so I ordered the Airport Express hoping it would do the job of boosting the range and also helping increase the wireless signal strength for both my Apple TV (which is still on order) and my newly purchased iPad2.
The question is this: What is the best way for me to set up the Airport Express to optimize the wireless network (and my investment). As previously mentioned, the primary non-Apple wireless router is at least 50 ft away and is on the far end of the house (going through several thick walls in the process) from my living room area where the new HD TV is to be installed. Is it best to just add the Airport Express to the existing router via an Ethernet connection and emulate the existing wireless network, or is it best to actually set it up in the living room at the other end of the house?
I wish I had read the comments in this forum prior to having ordered this new Airport Express device.
Thanks...
Cheyenne22What is the best way for me to set up the Airport Express to optimize the wireless network (and my investment).
The "best" way to connect network devices is always using a wired Ethernet connection if possible. Bandwidth is much higher, and you don't have to worry about wireless interference from other electronic sources in the area or obstructions in the signal path that reduce the signal strength quickly.
The AirPort Express can "extend" or "repeat" a wireless signal (using a wireless connection only) from another AirPort router, such as an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Express. But, unfortunately it will not perform this service with devices from other manufacturers.
So, you will have to go the Ethernet connection option for your network.
If you configure the AirPort Express to "create a wireless network" using the exact same wireless network name, same type of security setting, and same password as your main router, it will provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located.
The AirPort Express will need to be in "bridge mode" to do this. AirPort Utility, the application used to set up the AirPort Express will walk you through the installation and select the bridge mode option for you.
You can use the USB port on the AirPort Express to connect a compatible printer. If you want to stream AirTunes to the Express, you will be able to do that as well. -
I plan to use my airport express as a travel router. Does anyone know if any manufacturers make a case/bag to carry it in ?
There's a bag designed for the Apple TV and related accessories that would work since it's nearly identical in size as the Airport Express. It's the SF Bags "Apple TV Case"
http://www.sfbags.com/products/apple-tv-case/apple-tv-case.php
Otherwise, 3rd party bags for external hard drives and/or portable optical drives are options to investigate. Of course there may be a camera bag that is well suited, but the SF Bags case is the closest I've found to a dedicated bag intended for the Airport Express/Apple TV.
