Airport Express doesn't power on...

I recently came home to find that my airport express was no longer working- No internet, green light, etc. I've tried plugging it into a different socket, checked to see if USB power was still working (it's not). I'm wondering if the device is completely dead, or if there is something else I could do to try and get it working again.
Thanks

If after performing a "factory default" reset and after the unit has been plugged in for at least 10-15 minutes it still feels cool (room temperature) to the touch, then it is very likely that the device's power circuit has failed.

Airport Express doesn't work with Mountain Lion

I installed Mountain Lion and now my airport express doesn't work as a way to play itunes through another set of speakers.
Not only that... but the airport utility doesn't support my airport express.
Time Machine doesn't work either....
I want my snow leopard back!!!
Any insight????

I understand that Airport Utility 5.6 must be used to configure it... but that being an older version... I can't install it with the new OS... RRRGGGGGHHHH Mountain Lion!!! I'm not liking the switch at all. I've spent more time fixing problems with this ... how can I go back???

I've just changed my router and whilst my laptops sync ok, my G4 tower which connects via an airport express doesn't connect to the internet. I think it's something to do with the IP or DHCP settings but have had no success, any help much appreciated.

Hi Jake,
Is it connecting to the Router or Modem?
Is the new Router using maybe WPA2 encryption? If so, G4s can only do WPA or less.

The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>Airport>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply.
Also, turn off IPv6:
System Preferences » Network » AirPort » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6

Airport Express Doesn't Work With Leopard?

I upgraded to Leopard, and am trying to install my new Airport Express. I get an error message saying that Airport Express doesn't support the current OS. Anyone else encountering that?

You shouldn't need to install software unless you buy a base station released -after- the OS you're using was released. Leopard already contains a newer version of software for configuring the Express, AFAIK.

DSL to Cable Modem switch - now Airport express doesn't work

I just switched from DSL to Cable and now connecting to the internet via my Airport express doesn't work. It's fine direct connecting via ethernet.
Is there a known issue? I've tried various things but no dice.
Are my Airport expresses now married to the older modem?
Any help would be appreciated.

Okay I got a new Airport extreme since there was a chance that the new modem and the expresses weren't 100% compatible and the Extreme worked almost out of the box.
Truth is, I might have just had to hold down the reset buttons on the expresses longer so that they would revert to the manufacturer's default and they might have become functional since I did that later and my old expresses are now connected to the home network.
For anyone else with this issue, before giving up or if you don't need an excuse to buy an extreme, hold that airport reset button in a good two minutes before and then another two during the plug-in and you might get lucky.
Thanks.

Airport express doesn't work correctly

I bought an airport express, configured as an extension of the time capsule wireless and it worked perfectly
and which later it broke.
I bought another, configured with the extension of the time capsule wireless network, the light is green, but no device can see the wireless network.
I can see it by my macbookair why I take the wireless network from the time capsule.
What can I do to solve the problem??
thank you
regads

Are you expecting to see one wireless network from the Time Capsule and another from the AirPort Express? If the Express "extends" the network of the Time Capsule, there is only one wireless network.
If this doesn't explain things, please explain what you mean by "no device can see the wireless network".
By the way, I'm not sure why you flagged your own response as a "Helpful Answer".

New airport express doesn't work with Nintendo DS

I just picked up a new Airport Express. The WEP setting doesn't seem to be standard. Instead it is this Transitional Security Network that doesn't work with the Nintendo DS or the Netgear WG511T card I have. Any ideas on how to get it to work?
15" MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9) 7200 RPM HD

yeah, the DS just ***** like that. Nintendo should have given it firmware upgradability.

Can Airport Express or Extreme power a USB powered hard drive?

I cannot find the info in the specs.
Best Buy tells me that, in principle, wireles routers with USB ports don't have the power required by USB-powered hard drives.
On the other hand, I am thinking it would make sense for Airport Express to do that, since it would be very useful on a trip.
Thanks

OOs, I just saw the Apr 2011 thread. Answer is no

Airport Express No light/power ?

the light on airport express is off, swopped the powerplug bit for my powerbook one no difference, changes power sockets no change, is it bust ? Or is there something else i can try...
If bust will Apple care, about 15 months old.

Chris

Sorry for the reposting from the locked thread, but as stonecutter is from the UK, this is what you have to do over here!
f you are in the UK:
1) Your complaint is with the seller, not the manufacturer (unless you bought from the Apple Store.)
2) It is irrelevant if the item is outside of its guarantee (a guarantee is an extension to your existing rights.) Your complaint is under the 6 year period (5 years in Scotland) of statutory rights afforded by the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended.) This states that items must be of satisfactory quality and durability.
3) You must write, registered delivery, to the seller and state the above and claim that the item was not of satisfactory quality and, by the very fact that it stopped working after xx months, not durable. You must claim that a reasonable person would expect an electrical item, which cost £xx, to last longer than xx months.
4) You can mention this discussion board, hardmac.com etc. to show that this is not a "one off."
5) You must ask the seller to provide you with a refund, a replacement or a repair. Because you have had some use of the item, the seller may make a reduction from the original price when refunding the money.
6) Give them 14 days to reply.
7) Get in touch with consumer direct: 08454 04 05 06, who are very helpful and can refer a seller on to trading standards.
8) The seller may tell you that after 6 months it is up to you to prove that the product was faulty, this is true. BUT do not get somebody to examine the item. Tell the seller that you will take him to the Small Claims Court, where the court will appoint a computer engineer who is agreeable to both parties.
You may end up in Small Claims Court, but you should win your money or part of it back, as long as you have been seen to have tried to reach an agreement beforehand.
(My AEX died a month ago (after 18 months) and have gone through the above (except the Small Claims Court) with the seller, who has now agreed a 50% refund.)
Keep fighting, don't take no for an answer and stay calm!!

AirPort Express doesn't show in AirPort Utility any more/won't connect to network

I have an older airport express that I use wirelessly with an AirPort Extreme to extend my network and stream music via AirPlay. Within the last couple of days it has been unable to join the network. It has always worked just fine until now.
The Airport Express powers up, flashes green once, then goes to amber flashing and stays that way forever. The Airport Express does not show up in AirPort Utility at all.
I have tried soft, hard, and factory resets to no avail.
The Airport Express info:
Model A1084
Can't check firmware version beasue it doesn't show up in Airport Utility
The Airport Extreme Info (which is working perfectly fine):
Model A1143
Version 7.6.4
Any further suggestions?
Thanks,
Dawn

Mavericks (Apple) will not let you run an older version of AirPort Utility on Mavericks.
So I've just discovered. Unfortunately I don't think booting from my older OS is going to work either, as it appears that 6.3.2 is also what I have installed there.
Doesn't make sense to me still, though, as I upgraded to Mavericks on day 1, but the Airport Expressed worked fine until yeterday.
I have a roomie with a PC. Will see if we can configure it on his computer.

AirPort Express doesn't connect to router via WLAN anymore

Hello
A few days ago I've bought an *AirPort Express (802.11n)*
When I wanted to test it for the first time, I set it up to *connect to an Existing Wireless Network* and it worked, I could for example stream music from iTunes or print something.
The main reason I bought the APExpress was to extend the range of my wireless signal area, and since my router's got WDS ability I set the *AirPort as a part of the WDS Network* and logically I connected it via Ethernet to the router, and again everything worked.
Now my problem is:
yesterday I wanted to use the APExpress to stream some music to the kitchen,
so I chose the profile in which it was set to connect to an Existing Wireless Network, like I already described above.
But now it doesn't work; the APExpress doesn't connect to the router via WLAN, though there's the green light which's supposed to mean that everything's fine but it doesn't show up in the AirPort Setup Assistant.
As soon as I connect it via Ethernet to router it shows up and you can start streaming music or whatever, but without Ethernet it doesn't connect to the router anymore.
And that's weird, cause for the first time I used the device it worked, but now it doesn't!
Now I would be very thankful if somebody could help me to solve this problem.
Cheers
Yasser

I've tried a bunch of 10.1.10.x's and none of them seem to work. The computer that does work has gotten the IP automatically, though.
I've been doing some reading, and it seems as though OS X self-assigns a 169.254.x.x IP address whenever it tries to get an IP from DHCP and fails. Aside from turning off both the router and the modem for about 15 minutes, is there any other way to make the router give me an IP address? And why does one of the computers work? Do you think that if we tried to renew the DHCP lease on that computer, it wouldn't be able to get one?
I'm not sure what the router is set to give out. How would I check that?

Airport express doesn't connect to motorola 2210. how to set up?

just get a flashing amber light on AX. when i connect modem directly to via ethernet computer can connect to internet.

I'm familiar with that device. You will need to re-configure the modem to work in "Bridge Mode" or "PPP is on the computer or router".
Right now, it is set for "PPP" is on the modem, correct?
Open the web page for the modem and look for the PPP Location tab on the left.
Then, the AirPort Express must be configured to "Connect Using = PPPoE" and you enter your user name and password into the setup of the AirPort Express.
Power off both the modem and Express. Start the modem first and let it run a moment or two. Then start the Express.

AirPort Express doesn't work with SB5100

I'm helping a friend set up a new AirPort Express MC414LL/A Model A1392 (802.11n) with her existing Motorola SB5100 DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem. I was able to setup the AirPort Express from her iPad with a network name and password. Also upgraded the firmware in the AirPort Express. However, the Airport Utility App on my iPad and iPhone connected to the AiPort Express, but showed no connection to the Internet. Furthermore, the PC that had been working fine when connected directly to the SB5100 could not make an Internet connection when connected to the AirPort Express.
I brought the AirPort Express home and connected it to my Verizon FiOS Actiontec modem and it works fine - my iPhone and iPad connect to it and through it to the Internet.
I'm wondering if the SB5100 is incompatible with the AirPort Express??

It should work.
Power down the modem and leave it powered down for a long time, as much as a half hour or longer is sometimes required. While it is powered down, disconnect its coaxial cable. Literally unscrew it and leave it that way.
Connect the Express to your modem, leave them connected, and do not disconnect them from one another without powering down the modem again.
Re-connect everything including power and let the devices complete their startup sequences. This usually takes a moment or two.
If that does not result in success, "hard reset" the Extreme or Express according to the instructions below and start over from the beginning.
If you still have trouble, contact AppleCare because you have done everything reasonable to get it to work.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

AirPort Express USB speaker power?

I've just added an AirPort Express to my home network and I was wondering if the USB port will provide power to a set of external speakers? I'm figuring not, but I thought I'd check...

The USB port is used with a compatible printer.
The audio jack on the Express will provide enough power for a pair of headphones, but not traditional speakers unless they have built in amplifiers.

Airport Express Two Prong Power Adapter

Can the two prong power module be replaced with an extension cord from an Apple PowerBook AC Power Adapter? I'm thinking that there may be a situation where I would like to relocate the Airport Express away from the AC outlet, and perhaps closer to an ethernet port in a hotel room.
Anyone actually do this? I don't want to fry the Airport Express, and i don't want to lug around an regular AC power extension cord.

Henry,
Can you tell me if the reverse is true? Would the AC extension cord sold along with the AirPort Express stereo cables package -- in the UK store, at least -- be properly rated to work with the iBook AC power adapter? It looks like the piece of equipment I need, but I can't find anything in the tech specs to reassure me that it would work safely on my power adapter.
Context for my question: I have moved from the US to the UK and want very badly to get an AC power cord with a UK plug to replace the one with the US plug. (I have the snap-on UK plug, but want the cord so I can sit farther from the wall.) It would cost 55 GBP to buy an "extra portable power adapter" (the whole unit, including the snap-on cord I want); by contrast, it would cost only 29 GBP to buy the "AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit with Monster Cables," which includes "an AirPort Express power extension cord." I might actually use the AirPort Express stereo connectors if I had them, but I have no use for an extra AC adapter (and I hope not to need one!).
