Airport Express in solid green, but no internet.

Hi there,
I have been travelling around with my airport express and i encountered problems in some hotels.
My Airport express lights solid green, i can join my own network with the password that i set. however, my laptop/iphone does not have any form of connectivity at all. my iphone safari will prompt that i have no internet connection available.
Are my setting wrong? All i want is to plug the hotel's ethernet cable into the device to get wireless network.
In places where my Airport Express works fine, i will join my wireless network with my password, then the hotel's webpage will pop up on my Ipohne Safari or on my Laptop's explorer for me to purchase internet.
Thanks for helping.

Probably not. If your Express light is green, it's getting an IP address from the hotel's router and that's pretty much all it (and you) can do.
The unfortunate fact is that many hotels are notorious for woefully unreliable service. Even when they work some are too slow to use anyway. Hotels with reliable and fast service are rare, at least in the U.S.
If it's not working for you the way you've described, it's probably not working for anyone.
Complain to the hotel's management. People have justifiably grown to expect Internet service in hotels, and wireless devices like iPhones and iPads are the future.

Airport express light is green but is not working

My airport express is on,light is green, all of my computers see it though Airport Utility however the computer that is 2 feet away has no internet abilities. It however see the house network,sign in but no not able to communicate with other house computers as well as the internet. 'The lights are on but no one is at home'

If all the other computers can connect to the Internet, try power cycling your entire network.
Power everyhing down on the network...all devices, order is not important
Wait a moment, then start the modem first and let it run a moment by itself
Then start your AirPort Express the same way
Continue starting the devices the same way until everything is back up
Check for Internet connections on all devices

Airport Express for music streaming, but not Internet?

I currently connect my PowerMac G5 to the Internet via a direct connection. How do I setup the A/E to stream music from my PowerMac G5 (Airport equipped), without disrupting the existing Ethernet connection?

If you want your G5 to be on the Internet AND stream music at the same time, the AirPort Express (AX) must be connected to your Internet source. The G5 can not use the Ethernet connection for Internet and the AirPort connection for streaming music at the same time.
If you have a wired router but do not have a wireless router, you could connect both the G5 and AX to the wired router.
If you do not have a router of any kind (other than the AX), you could connect AX to the ISP connection and then have the G5 wirelessly connect to the AX.
OR you could connect a wireless router to the ISP connection and then have the G5 and AX wirelessly connect to the router. Alternatively the G5 could be connected to the wireless router via Ethernet.

HT4600 Airport Express light is solid green but I can not get on the internet. Any clues as to what is wrong?

Airport Exopress light is solid green, but I can not get on the internet. Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this?

Would you please provide some more information about your current network so that we can help you? For example, is your AirPort Express the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to a broadband modem or to another router upstream of it? Regardless, what is the make & model of this modem?
When changing network equipment or when setting it up for the first time, it is always a good idea to perform a completer power recycle of your networking equipment. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for the details.

√using successfully airport express for internet/ when hooking up new airport extreme light glows green, but does NOT appear in devices seen????airport wifi devices

using sucessfully airport express for internet
when hooking up new airport extreme light glows green, but does NOT appear in devices sesn in 5.6 airport wifi devices
wanting to use extreme at base and express in another part of the house

How is the express getting internet? What modem is it plugged into?
How is the extreme setup? New extreme cannot be setup with 5.6 utility.. you must use latest 6.3. Which also means you cannot setup from computer using less than Lion .. or you must use iOS with latest utility but it has limited configuration cf the computer version.
IPv6 is also needed.. turn on local link.

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:

Airport express joins wireless (green flash on) but airplay doesn't work? Why oh Why?

Airport express joins wireless (green flash on) but airplay doesn't work? I have turn off the firewall on the router, but still I cannot connct wireless to the airport express.

Please check out the following Apple Support article to see what the minimum requirements are for AirPlay to work.
Also the following Apple Support article talks about the specifics on how to use an AirPort Express Base Station for AirPlay.

Airport Express Shows in WAN, but not Wireless

I have an old Airport Express and a Time Machine (and Powerbook 13" 2011 model ... OSX 10.8.2). I have been using the TM fine for quite some time now. I used to use the AE, but packed it away for the last two years. Having just gotten a new stereo, I would like to play music via the AE again, as I used to.
However now I cannot get the AE to show up in Airport Utility. If I plug it in by Ethernet, it shows up fine and plays music. But the moment I unplug the Ethernet, I lose connection. I have tried to configure as Extend a Network and Join a Network, and the same thing happens with both ... music plays fine with plugged in, but cannot get a signal with wireless. AE does not show up at all on AU on wireless. Resetting the AE has no effect. The AE light is solid green the whole time.
I suspect I am doing something really basically wrong and dumb, but cannot figure it out at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

ok here's an update.
now my airport express turns to green automatically (only in my room)
it will still be blinking amber anywhere else
so the problem is still not solved.

Does airport express need to be connected to Internet to use purely for AirPlay ?

Does airport express need to be connected to Internet to use purely for AirPlay ? Or can I just attach to my stereo and have my Mac connect directly to it in the absence of a wireless network? Tks

you will have to configure the express to create a wireless network but you do not need a connection to the internet.

I changed cable providers and now my Airport Express won't connect to the Internet. How do I fix this?

I changed to Time Warner cable. Upon doing so, my Airport Express lost its connection to the Internet. When I run the Airport Utility, I am stuck at the first step, which says the AE doesn't have any DNS server addresses. What are they and how do I find out what they should be? And if I supply them, will that fix the problem?

Have you performed a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express?
If not, the Express is still remembering the settings that you programmed into it when you configured it to work with your old modem.
The Express is "looking" for your old modem, but it does not "see" 'it because it is no longer there...so it can't connect to the Internet.
If you have not already tried the Factory Default Reset and you need more info about this, post back for more details.

I would recommend setting the wireless encryption on the AirPort Express BEFORE configuring it for the AirPort Extreme in this case. This issue also comes up often when configuring AirPorts into a WDS.
If setting up security in my recommend order does not work, temporarily connect the Express by Ethernet to the Extreme; make the security changes, and then, move the Express back to the desired location.

I have an Airport Express, which flashes amber, but when I go to manual set up, it says there's an error and tells me to close configuration?

I have an Airport Express, which flashes amber, but when I go to manual set up, it says there's an error and tells me to close configuration? Once I complete that, the same thing occurs, and there's another error message?

Is this a new AirPort Express, or one that you have had for some time that has now developed problems?
What function do you want the Express to perform on your network?

My computer is recognizing my airport express network at first but then slips to an exclamation mark. I have followed the steps to reset everything and it ends up keeping me on a loop of asking me to rest everything after I do so. network is recognized on list along with all my neighbors. Any help would be greatly apprectiated.

System Preferences > Network
WiFi/Airport should be at the top of the list.
Select WiFi/Airport
[√ ] Ask to Join new Networks
click ( Advanced )
In the WiFi/Airport pane, remove ALL other networks except your home Network. (This will keep your computer from "wandering off" onto a neighbor's Network.)
You are not done until you close the windows and Save Changes.

Airport express 802.11 solid green but not working

My airport express has been working for several months but will not now.
I bought it to extend our internet to the upstairs as it was too far from out
internet location.
I have restarted it and moved to different outlets upstairs, but it will not work.
It goes through all the proper color changes and is solid green now. I can stand next
to it and there is no connection.

Did you happen to firmware update the main router?? That seems to cause the issue. Or even the express will cause it.. there is a new firmware just hit the web.. 7.6.4 so if you vaguely remember doing it .. or see the main router is now running 7.6.4.. that is why.
Reset everything to factory and start over.. that is the best way to get things running again.

Even if the update didn't go through.. still do the factory reset and reconfigure.. it will all come good.

Airport express showing green but no internet connection

I have a new airport express (2013) connected to a motorola canopy point to multipoint wireless broadband system.
The express is in bridge mode and is using 8.8.4.4 and 208.67.222.222 as the DNS servers.
The aiport is showing a green light consistetly. However, the internet connection of devices on the network drops intermittently. Airport utility shows a yellow indicator and "disconnected".
Sometime the connection reappears quickly. Other times a restart in necessary.
It does not happen simulatnaesouly for every device. Some can have a connection while others do not. As I write this, my MB Air has an internet connection but my iPhone does not.
Fixes I have tried:
Powering down and powering back up begining with the modem and then the base station.
Changing base station channel
Turning off wireless printer
Renewing DHCP lease on base station
Renewing DHCP lease on individual units
I see others with this problem but the fixes seem random. I was thinking it is a DNS issue but... the error reads "disconnected" not DNS issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The issues seems to be DNS related.
When the internetconnection drops, the airport utility indicator switches to yellow, I can still get websites to reslive by using their IP addresses in place of the URL. E.g. http://173.194.70.101 for google.
But I can make neither heads nor tails of why this happens or when...
The one thing I think I am noticing but does not make any sense is that when I use the IP instead of the URL, it forces the connection back on.
