AirPort Express getting a leak from FM station

Hey people, I's sure this is a no brainer but I would like to confirm.
I am using express to itunes and airfoil for other programs, but I am geting a leak from a radio station. I have a phone filter that I thought would help but that did not. i created a closed network and that did not work.Can anyone point out filters or somtething that might get rid of the extra sound coming from speakers. Any help would be great.

I'm assuming you're connecting via analog to your speakers and not optically. My guess is a ground loop. Radio Shack sells ground loop isolators that might help; it plugs inline with the audio cable. If it doesn't work, Radio Shack has a reasonable return policy.

Can I iTunes to Airport Express while surfing internet from Base Station

I am new to Macs and Networking. I have DSL ethernet plugged into Airport Extreme Base Station and Express into my stero. I have set up a network pointing to each but when I choose the Express network for streaming music, I cannot connect to the internet which is on my Base station. Is there a network configuration that will do both. Working w/a new Powerbook G4. Mac OS 10.4. Thanks for any help.

OW, Welcome to the discussion area!
Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode or KB 107454, AirPort Extreme and Express: Using WDS to create a network from multiple base stations.

2nd Airport Express wont show up in Base Station Chooser, iTunes

Hi, I have 2 Airport Express units on the same network. One is showing up, the other is not. Both were working perfectly. I recently upgraded my router to a Linksys BEFSR41. When I run the Base Station Chooser, one shows up the other does not. The same happens in iTunes. I can address the Airport Express by chooser Other from Base Station Chooser, then entering its IP address. I updated firmware in both units to 6.3. Both units are configured identically. If I access the hidden airport express from a wireless PC it shows up fine but the other one does not

Thank you for your post, but I do not understand why you are giving me a link to the generic airport express site. The configuration I have was working fine before I upgraded my router.

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

Sometimes I cannot select an airport express to output sound from a current model mac air/10.9.3. The output jumps back to internal speakers or apple tv. Any ideas?

Apple Airport Express gets warm en shut off (dead)

My 14 month old Apple Airport Express gets warm en shut off (dead) after few minutes. Have to disconnect power, wait and reconnect but the same happens again. Have re installed sw. Is it a warranty issue or just go by a new one?

Thanks but its bought online in apple store and Apple shops are rear to find in south off Norway. Before I send it back, do you know normal warranty? 12 ore 24 mounds or is it due to national rules? Normal consumer warranty in Norway are at least 24 mounts.

How to access an Airport Express USB hard drive from a PC?

I have a home network created by a new Airport Express base station (which replaced the previous AXBS that lasted 3 years and then died). Attached to its HSB port (with a USB hub) I have a WD USB disk and a Canon printer; I have another printer connected to one of the LAN ports. I have a mac attached to another of the LAN ports. Finally, my macbook connects to the network through the Airport. All peripheral items (disk, printers) work as they should from both macbook and the other mac.
I also have a PC with WI-FI that connects to the internet through the AXBS. The printers seem to work on the PC (with Bonjour for Windows installed), and I can access its disk from the macs, but I cannot access the WD AXBS hard drive from the PC.
The macbook and mac are running Snow Leopard and Leopard, respectively, and the PC is running XP SP2.
Can someone offer a suggestion for getting disk access to work from the PC? Windows or not, it shouldn't be this difficult.

Click here and follow the instructions, assuming you're using an AirPort Extreme base station. The AirPort Express base stations can't use USB hard and flash drives and will ignore any connected ones.

Airport Express Model A1264 - No configured base stations found

Hello,
I've searched the forums for an answer but without luck. Here is the background. An electrical storm this summer blew out my old modem and so got a new Actiontec C1000A modem to use with my Century Link service. It has the WPS button on the front. I have the Airport Express Model A1264 1st Gen n-model that I use for streaming music. It sits in my living room and is connected to my receiver so I can stream items from my iPhone or iPad when the receiver is in "Dock" mode.
With the new modem I can't resolve the flashing amber light. I have reset it numerous times with a paper clip but with no luck. The Airport Utility (6.3.1) simply gives me a "No configured Airport base stations have been found. Airport Utility will continue searching" message. The Airport Utility shows I'm connected to the internet with a router address and DNS server numbers. In the Base Station drop down menu in the Airport Utility, all of the options are grey.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Are you holding down the reset button on the AirPort Express for 10 seconds, then allowing a full minute for the Express to restart?
Once the Express has been reset, it will not simply "appear" in AirPort Utility....if that is what you are expecting it to do......you have to initiate the setup process.
Click on the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear.
Just below that, click directly on AirPort Express
AirPort Setup will open up automatically and suggest that you configure the Express to "extend" a wireless network. That probably will not work, so click on Other Options and select the Add to a Network option to get the process started.
Assuming that the Actiontec modem/router is using compatible settings, the AirPort will be setup to "join" the Actiontec wireless network

802.11n Airport Express, Can't print from XP machines

I recently set up my new Airport Express 802.11n base station and can't print to my Samsung ML-2010 usb laser printer from my XP boxes using bonjour. I have a mac mini hooked up to the AE via ethernet that prints fine to the ml-2010. the xp boxes are hooked up to the AE by 802.11g adapters. Is there anything I can try to get the XP boxes to print?

I was able to get my XP boxes to print by setting the printer up as a local printer on a port. you can find the directions here....

Airport Express no longer visible from iTunes (Utility and Airfoil work)

I've see a couple of people getting errors when trying to use AirTunes, but since I upgraded to iTunes 10, iTunes won't even display my Airport, nor is there any visible way to select multiple speakers (it was in the bottom right previously).
"Look for remote speakers" is checked in iTunes.
Windows firewall is off, and in the firewall I do use, iTunes and all associated apple networking software is set to have full access (send and recieve).
The Airport Express is visible and useable from Airfoil, and also works with the setup utility.
I have just removed all traces of iTunes and anything Apple from the computer and did a fresh install. Still no joy.
This was working perfectly before iTunes 10 - what's changed? It's not my setup, as Airfoil works, as does the setup util.

Same problem here. Everything was OK and working before iTunes 10.1.2.17 update on January 27, 2011 for 64bit Windows.
AE is working when using iTunes & Spotify via Airfoil but not directly from iTunes. Tweaking firewall didn't help either. Well I can live like this thanks to Airfoil but hopefully next iTunes update will fix this problem.

HP Laserjet 1020 connected to Airport Express - Can't Print from Windows XP

Hi,
I have been using Airport Express for almost a year now, and it works fine with my old LaserJet 1200 connected to it, meaning that BOTH my ThinkPad(WinXP) and PowerBook(OSX 10.3) prints off the printer nicely. Last week I bought a LaserJet 1020 to replace the old printer. Now I can only print off my Mac, and not the ThinkPad.
Here are some additional information:
- Airport Express has been updated with latest updates.
- Using newest printer driver available from the HP website.
- New printer works when connected to ThinkPad via USB.
- New printer works when connected to Airport Express and printing performed using my PowerBook.
Therefore, My conclusion is that Airport Express and Printer is working just fine, and that it's just my ThinkPad not being configured correctly. (Although at the back of my head I am guessing that just MAYBE it's the Airport Express not accepting a different printer)
This is what I did to install the printer from my ThinkPad to work with Airport Express (which is not working):
1. Add a printer
2. Local printer attached to computer (no auto detect)
3. Selected existing TCP/IP port 10.0.1.1
4. Selected my new printer driver
5. Finish
I also tried a few things like:
- Deleting the TCP/IP port and creating it again before installing the new printer again.
- Off both airport express and printer and on again after about 10sec.Airport was on first, and after the LED turn green, printer was turned on and USB plugged into airport.
- Restarting my ThinkPad.
I have tried everything that I can think of, and nothing worked... hence this posting to get professional help.

Hi,
You might want to download and install bonjour for windows to your Thinkpad it is how I got my roomates XP laptop to print on AX.

Use airport express to extend network from linksys wrt54g

Hello all, I'm having no luck here, and hope you can help me. I am running a MacBook Pro, 2.16 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 Gigs ram, OS X 10.6.8.I am at work, trying to use a newly purchased AirPort Express to extend the signal from the back office, which has a Linksys WRT54G router. I updated the router's firmware to 1.02.8, build 001, dated 8.5.09. I have tried numerous times to configure the AE using AirPort Utility, and always wind up with an error message, "An error occurred while updating the configuration. Make sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)" During the configuration process, I am asked what I want to do with AE, I have tried both "create a new wireless network," and "I want AE to join my current network," with no success. Any comments will be appreciated.

The Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GS (through version 4 only for both models) were said to be compatible with Apple's WDS settings.
Perhaps this article may offer some clues, but it is doubtful that you will be able to make this work with the particular version of Linksys router that you have.

Airport Utility can't find Airport Express after setting up as repeater station

I wanted to extend my 2Wire-based wireless network into a specific room that never seems to be able to pick up the signal, and found the following instructions on how to do so on Apple's website:
(note: these instructions were submitted by another user in response to a question as to whether or not an Airport Express could be used as a repeater station for non-Airport Extreme-based wireless networks - linked here http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MB321LL/A?pqid=QY4CAJJC7KFTTD KYH72DKPXF4CAUA9D4J).
Yes, you can do this two ways: If you can connect your airport express to your router via ethernet, then you will perform the following steps in the airport utility:
1. Select your airport express.
2. Select manual set up.
3. Under Wireless, select Participate in a WDS network
4. Enter your network name, radio mode, channel, and security
5. Under WDS, select WDS main
6. Check wireless clients
7. Add the MAC address of the router
8. Click update
That's it
Now, if you connect your airport express to your router wirelessly, all the steps are the same except for step 5. In this step, select WDS remote instead. Everything else is the same.
I followed those instructions exactly with my Airport Express and, after restarting, the amber light is flashing on and off continuously and the Airport Utility can't find the Airport Extreme base station. What the heck went wrong here?

Update:
I restarted the laptop I used to set up the AX as well as pushing the "reset" button on the AX (first time - pressed it for 1 second, Second Time - pressed and held for 15 seconds then let go). The Utility still isn't recognizing the base station.
I also upgraded the Utility's software to 5.5.3 right before I went through these steps, and now it's not recognizing the base station. ARGH.
Update #2: I plugged the AX into my laptop with an ethernet cable and the utility STILL can't detect it. This is ridiculous.
Update #3: Not 30 seconds after update #2, it FOUND the **** AX >.< I'm updating the firmware, but I still can't get it to work as a repeater station if I have to plug it into my laptop all the time JUST to get the Utility to recognize that yes, Virginia, there IS an Airport Extreme.

Airport Express gets confused between two other Airports

I had to get sure that a whole house of a friend was able to connect to the same wifi-network with apple Airport Express and Extreme.
There are two Extreme base stations and 4 Express installed, all (but one) are getting the signal out of a Ethernetcable and create the signal itself with the same SSID and password. That works.
The one which has no acces to a Ethernetcable is extending the signal of the other Stations. Now the problem is, this station is kinda in the middle of two Airport Express base stations, now it switches the source signal and after a while it's not available anymore. On this Express is the Soundsystem, so it's quite annoying when the sound suddenly stopps.
How could I fix this, since I think it's not possible to fix the source on the device just the network but I want the network in the house to be the same and not having two different SSIDs. Shall I install a ironwall between one of the stations
Hardware:
the new Airport Express 2Generation with the latest Firmware 7.6.2
the new Extreme base Station with latest Firmware 7.6.2
Thanks for your imput.

Airport Express getting priority over Extreme

Hi guys,
So i have both an airport express and extreme. The Express is extending the network of the Extreme to the rest of the house, which is exactly what i want it to do, however; where i am in my room i get perfect connection to the Extreme but for some reason i get connected to the Express' network.
This is a problem because the Express' network is significantly slower for downloading (about a 7th of the speed) than the Extreme. So i was wondering if there was a way to get the Extreme to have connection priority over the Express even though they are technically the same network?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Julian.

Welcome to the discussion area, Julian!
So i was wondering if there was a way to get the Extreme to have connection priority over the Express even though they are technically the same network?
Unfortunately, no. Your computer will automatically connect to the wireless point that has the best signal strength...not necessarily the fastest speed.
You may want to experiment with the placement of the AirPort Express to see if you can improve the speed on the network. Most users place the AirPort Express much too far away from the main router.
A good starting point would be a location this is about 1/2 the distance between the main router and the area that needs more wireless coverage. The important thing to remember here is that +the Express can only "extend" what it "receives"+. It does not "boost" the signal. So, if you have it located where it receives a slow signal, that is what it will extend.
So, you wind up with a strong "low" signal if the Express is located too far away from the main router.
