Airport express bridge mode funktioniert nicht richtig

Der AE lässt sich als Bridge zur Audio-Anlage leicht einrichten und funktioniert sofort, sowohl wenn er per LAN Kabel mit dem Router verbunden wird als auch per WLAN. Mein Problem ist, daß nach Neustart des Windows 8 Rechners der AE nicht mehr erkannt wird, auch das Airport Dienstprogramm findet ihn nicht. Man muss dann den AE resetten per Stromstecker rausziehen und wieder rein. Will ich aber nicht länger hinnehmen. Weiss hier jemand Rat?

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 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).

  • 2 Airport Express - Bridge Mode problems

    Hi,
    Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I've been searching and can't find a solution to the problem. 
    I have:
    MacBook Air running Mavericks and Airport Utility
    Old Airport Express set up to create a wireless network
    New Airport Express set up as bridged
    Our apartment is hardwired with LAN ports in the walls, so there is no need for a modem and there are no router conflicts etc. I'm aware of.
    Everything is fine with the Old AE as it's been for years.  When I connect the second AE which I want to set up in another room to extend the existing network it goes through all of the steps in the wizard OK but as soon as the second/bedroom AE completes setup and the light goes green the first AE in the living room drops out with orange flashing light and a "Conflicting DHCP Range" error.  I barely know what this is, let alone how to resolve it.  Whenever I find a community discussion I can find people talking about the same issue but no clear idea of how to resolve.
    Any help would be massively appreciated.

    Yeah fair comment, pretty remiss of me.
    There was actually nothing wrong, but I was connecting the second AE to a LAN port with a cable as well. I mistook the drawings on the apple site for cable connections and assumed they all required it.
    Just removed the Ethernet cable, ran set up again and was good to go.

  • Airport Express bridge mode over WPA2 Enterprise?

    I have an Airport Extreme running WPA2 Enterprise with RADIUS on a Snow Leopard Server. Is it possible to have the Express join the WPA2 Enterprise network as an ethernet bridge? I can't seem to set it up. Something tells me this only works with WPA2 Personal?

    When you set up the APExtreme through Server Admin, it takes care of all the secret passwords and what-have-you. I did some digging on Apple's site, and it looks like the APExpress can only act as a bridge on WPA2 Personal networks and below. No worries; I am just temporarily running an engineer's SIP phone over wireless, so I brought an old Buffalo router I had kicking around at home into the office; set it up as a WPA2 Personal access point, and have him running off of that with the APExpress as the bridge. This is just a stopgap until I can get him a proper ethernet drop. Thanks for the help regardless.

  • How do i turn off airport express bridge

    How do i turn off airport express bridge?

    Only exception was that it went into bridge mode and I cannot configure an IP camera that was working prior.
    Bridge Mode is the correct setting for the AirPort Express since your "upgraded" Xfinity device is a modem/router or gateway device.
    So, you already have a router set up on the network. Bridge mode must be used on the AirPort Express to avoid having two devices both trying to act as routers on the network.
    That would create IP address conflicts and other problems like Double NAT.
    Since the Xfinity device is now your network router, you must configure the port settings for your camera on the Xfinity modem/router. The AirPort Express will simply pass through those settings since it is in Bridge Mode.
    You may need to check with Xfinity support on how to set up port forwarding if the owners guide does not cover that topic.

  • Port forwarding for Mac that shares internet to Airport in bridge mode?

    I use Air Video server, which allows me to stream movies from my Mac to my iPhone or iPad. It sits on port 45631 and that's closed.
    I recently moved from NYC to CO, and because of my cable modem not being compatible with my older Airport router, I must use my Mac Pro to forward my Internet service from one Ethernet port to another - so that my older Airport Extreme can then broadcast wirelessly.
    Since I use the AirPort in bridge mode, and the Mac is forwarding the connection - how do I forward the port so Air Video can send through to the internet?
    thanks for ANY help, I'm a bit lost here

  • Airport in bridge mode not working in Windows7

    Hi everyone,
    Last night as I was browsing the web on my iPad the internet stopped working...I am using an Airport Express router plugged directly into the wall socket of my apartment which was configured by the ISP.
    I have been using this config for the past 7 months with no issues but last night it just stopped working and the yellow indicator started flashing.
    I went into Airport utility and it tells me the Double NAT problem has been found (maybe the ISP changed something?)...and they suggest to change the Airport configuration to Bridge Mode ... said and done...now the Internet works fine under OSX and on my iPad but it does not work anymore in Windows 7.
    Some of my family uses Windows 7 for some very specific apps and now it's just dead, internet does not work anymore.
    Also, in OSX / iOS I didn't make any changes, I just changed the Airport configuration to Bridge mode and it worked right off the bat.
    Has anybody else confronted such problems before ? If so, what would be the best way to fix this ?
    Thanks!

    " I tried trunk port also but it got disabled"   <----- if your L2 config is not correct, nothing will work.
    What is the setup on the switch ? Trunk or access vlan ?
    What is the status of the interface ? up ? down ?
    Do you see something in your arp table ?

  • Can Airport Express bridge off another Airport Express?

    Hello All,
    Currently I have the current setup and working great for the most part.
    Aiport Extreme (Base) - Connected directly to my ISP Modem upstairs.
    Airport Express 1 (Bridge Mode) - Bridged to the Airport Extreme Base and placed midway hall upstairs
    Airport Express 2 (Bridge Mode) - Bridged to the Airport Extreme Base and placed downstairs
    Currently when I am out on my deck, I will receive 1 bar or no signal.. The signal that I do recieve is coming from one of the airport express.. 
    My question is, If I place a third additional Airport Express outside on my deck/patio will this daisy chain off the current AirPort Express that is already bridged to the Airport Extreme Base, or will it ONLY be able to bridge from the AirPort Extreme Base and not daisy chain from the AirPort Express? In other words, if I do not receive signal from the AirPort Extreme base on my deck/patio will this be of no use to extend the range?
    Many thanks in advance!

    My question is, If I place a third additional Airport Express outside on my deck/patio will this daisy chain off the current AirPort Express that is already bridged to the Airport Extreme Base
    Sorry, but no. Although the third AirPort will connect to the AirPort Express, it will "join"....not extend...the network. When an AirPort "joins" a network, it provides no additional wireless signal coverage.
    or will it ONLY be able to bridge from the AirPort Extreme Base
    Correct, if you want the additional AirPort Express to "extend" the network.  An "extending" device must connect directly to the main base station.....not to another device that is already extending the wireless signal.  The reason for this is that Apple's "extend" feature only allows a signal to be extended wirelessly one time....not two.
    if I do not receive signal from the AirPort Extreme base on my deck/patio will this be of no use to extend the range?
    Correct. But, if you located the additional Express somewhat closer to the AirPort Extreme, it might pick up enough of the signal to be able to extend it. Remember, an extending device can only extend the quality of signal that it receives.
    However, if you could run an Ethernet cable from the port on the current "extending" Express to the other Express that you want to add, you could configure the additional Express to 'create a wireless network" and effectively extend the network that way.

  • Airport Express Bridge

    Please forgive me if this has already been covered. I did a search and tried some of the ideas but haven't had any luck. Here is my problem.
    I have a 2Wire wireless modem. My G5 Mac can access it in wireless or ethernet mode. I have a PC in another room of the house that has a standard non wireless ethernet card. I currently have an Airport Express that is not being used. I would like to use the AE to act as a bridge to the 2Wire modem so that the PC can get access to the internet via the AE's ethernet port. Can this be done. I've tried with not luck so far.

    - another Airport Express
    - an Airport Extreme base station
    The answer is no for virtually all third party wireless routers.
    - a Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not latest versions v5)
    - a Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
    - one specific model from SMC (can't find model number right now)
    - one specific model from Buffalo
    - BT Voyager 2100
    For wireless routers not on this short list - not possible.
    In particular, it will not work with any WiFi routers from D-Link or Netgear.

  • Roaming with Airport Express (bridging) between two Airport Extreme AP's

    I have two Airport Extreme base stations set up on a company LAN that provide wireless coverage for our very large facility. Both are set up with the same SSID and WPA settings and they are 5 channels apart, 1 and 6. We have a cart with a computer and it uses an Airport Express / WDS to allow wired Ethernet bridging to our LAN via the wireless. I can't seem to get the Airport Express to "roam" between the two access points, ie, when one AP's signal gets too weak I would expect that the Airport Express would switch to the stronger of the two AP's. Is this a correct assumption?
    In the AirPort utility when you set an Airport Express as a remote it only allows you to specify one "main" AP, so I don't know if this is why I can't seem to get it to roam between both AP's. Anyone have any experience / success doing this? Thanks for any information you can provide.
    Joe Jenkins

    if possible, it sounds like you need to configure a "roaming" network, not a WDS. Of course, I am assuming that all your base stations have access to your LAN via ethernet...
    - Configure each base station with the same network name and authentication/password.
    - Put each base station in bridge mode (unless you need 1 of them to distribute ip addresses).
    - Each base station needs to be on a different channel - and make sure they spread apart, like 3 and 11, as opposed to 3 and 4.
    Basically make sure they are configured exactly the same except for the wireless channel.
    Roaming should improve.

  • Airport in Bridge mode "not a supported format." Are you F'n kidding me?

    Forgive me if I'm freakin' a bit but I am at my wits end with Apple. Here's the breakdown.
    Fiber DSL into a standard wired 4 port D-Link router. Router is connected to HP 24 port switch because the D-Link does not have enough ports for my house. Switch feeds cat5 to all rooms in the house. Airport Extreme (newest version) is in living room and set to Bridge mode. I use it to connect multiple items in my entertainment area and wireless access for the Macbooks and iPhones.
    Up to a few weeks ago I was connecting my iMac via wireless but got sick of the connection dropping (pings would be unresponsive for minutes on end). I ended up moving my desk and plugging into a cat5 port on the wall. Well guess what... it's still dropping. OK, I removed everything from the network and started adding things one at a time over the past few days. Everything was running better than ever until I plugged the Airport back into the network. Mind you, I'm not running my iMac into the Airport, it is simply on the same network.
    After shaking my head for a while I called Apple. Well I just got off the phone w/ Tier 3 tech support for the Airport Extremes. I tell them that I have no idea why, but I'm only dropping connections when the Airport is on the network and I'm just curious if there is something in the settings that I'm missing. This is where it gets good... The brilliant Tier 3 "Technician" tells me that I am running an unsupported configuration because the Airport is running in bridge mode and it's attached to a wired router across the house. He says that if the D-Link router was also wireless he could help me. I asked what the difference was if it was wired or wireless but all he could say was he couldn't help me because it was a unsupported configuration.
    So - I'm ready to send all my CrApple gear to some poor kids on the other side of the world. Anyone have any ideas here?

    I'm reading the original post with the understanding that the AirPort Extreme is connected by ethernet to the network and the replies indicate that as well.
    Are you saying that if the Extreme is in bridge mode connected by ethernet that the ports are not active?
    Not at all. What I was trying to say was that the connection from the Extreme to the internet must go through the WAN port, not a LAN port. In a large network, this can happen unintentionally. For instance, suppose a client has Internet sharing enabled and is connected wirelessly to the Extreme and by Ethernet to another router. Then the internet connection from the other router would be shared with the entire subnet, including the Extreme through its LAN port. This could cause problems with the network.
    However, with the network setup Jerastan describes, this does not seem to be the cause.

  • Airport Extreme Bridge Mode Connection Drop

    Hi everyone,
    Hoping that someone will be able to help me. I have a one year old son who is now getting his hands into everything so a few weeks ago I decided to look at my options for networking my home iMac and External HD's.
    I am currently running a SKY (Netgear router) into an Airport Extreme set up in Bridge mode. I have turned off the SSID of the SKY Router and everything connects to the Airport. On the AIrport I have a USB hub attached which then has three external HDs attached to it. I know this is a lot, but I have not had any issues at all with data transfer with this set up.
    The issues I am having is that on average, once or twice a day the iMac will drop connection to the Airport. There is no patern to this as the iMac will drop connection while I have been working on the machine and also at times when it has been woken from sleep mode. There is then no physical way to restore the connection unless I restart the iMac. Even turning on/off airport does not fix the issue. If I try this, the iMac then seems to not be able to find any wirless networks, even those that are in the area of my home.
    I have turn off the the airport and ran the iMac simply connecting to the SKY router and have experienced zero problems, the issue only happens when I introduce the Airport Extreme.
    Does anyone know what might be causing the problem? I really need to try to get this to work so that I can eliminate the need to have the external hard drives attached physically to the iMac. In my home the router/Airport and drives are safely out of the way in a child proof area. I fear that if I have to introduce them back to being physically connected to the iMac they will no longer be safe from small hands!!!
    Many thanks for any advice.

    Unfortunately, you did not not include information about the operating system that you will use to configure the AirPort Extreme, so we would need that you be able to provide you with the correct steps to set up the AirPort Extreme.
    Bridge Mode would be the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme, but you will not have to worry about this if you use the setup "wizard" in AirPort Utility on your Mac or an iPhone / iPad since the wizard will automatically provide the correct settings for the AirPort Extreme.
    I'm not clear though on whether you want the AirPort Extreme to provide another separate wireless network or extend the existing Arris network. If you plan to locate the AirPort Extreme a room or two away from the Arris, then it might make sense to extend the Arris network, so you will have one "big" network that provides greater range.
    Whether or not the Arris will have NAT issues, we cannot say. This will be one of those times where you will not know whether something will work correctly until you try.
    If you are not in a rush to get the AirPort Extreme configured, temporarily power off the Extreme and get things working with the Arris modem/router and your Xbox.

  • Airport Express- Client Mode- No Audio out to speakers

    I have configured the Airport Express (AE)to Client mode to connect to my existing wireless network, including configuring WPA security. The AE powers up (eventually showing a steady green light) and attaches to the wireless network and I can see its two MAC addresses on the Netgear router/access point to which the AE is attached. I can ping the AE and receive replies. Thus, I conclude the AE is in fact attached to the network.
    When I start iTunes 6.0.1.03 and try to select the speakers associated with the AE, no audio output is available on the AE. Audio can be played frm iTunes to the laptop speakers and/external speakers attached to the laptop docking station. I have been able to briefly send audio from iTunes via the AE to my stereo. However, I cannot consistently activate the audio feed (via wireless or wired Ethernet) to the AE and obtain audio line output.
    After some online research, I noticed iTunes/Airtunes audio streaming can only be directed to the computer speakers or the powered speakers attached to the AE, not both. I have tried turning the laptop speakers off, but still no audio output is received from the AE.
    Suggestions appreciated.

    No, I am not running any firewall, VPN or Internet monitoring software. Yes, I can see the Airport Express using the Airport Admin Utility. I can open the AE settings and all appears to operate as described in the documentation. I have even tried to reset and re-configure the AE, but the results have not changed.
    The only observation I have of operation contrary to the documentation is when selecting the "speakers" button" at the bottom right of the iTunes window. The button changes to indicate selection of the stereo and speakers connected to the AE, however there is no audio output from the AE. I also connected iPod headphones to the AE line out port- same result, no audio.
