  • I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac. Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before. I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings.

    I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings. I have also used Ethernet on its own but still get the same sound problems.
    I would love to turn itunes sound off as you used to be able to do, but this I believe can't be done.
    Has anyone else been having the same types of problem, and better still has anyone got the answer?

    When the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is connected by Ethernet, you will find an option in the AirPort Utility, labeled: Enable AirTunes over Ethernet on the Music pane. Just select this option to allow streaming iTunes via the AirPort's Ethernet port. You should also be able to disable the AX's wireless so that it shouldn't interfere with the nearby TC.

    Temporarily connecting your AirPort Express to one of the Time Capsule's Etherent LAN <-> ports...as LaPastenagure suggests....is always a good way to setup and configure other network devices.
    If you want to configure the Express using wireless, remember that the Express broadcasts a default wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You must log on to this network first....no password is required....then open AirPort Utility to "see" the AirPort Express.

  • Airport Express for stereo / Belkin Wireless G Plus Router/

    Quicksilver G4 using Ethernet connection directly to Belkin Wireless G Plus
    Router . Airport Express working remotely via router to stream audio to
    loudspeakers. Was able to choose (from iTunes window) whether to play thru
    computer speaker (1) or remote speakers (2)
    Problem: I temporarily disconnected the Airport Extreme unit. No options now... can only play thru computer. iTunes no longer
    shows a dropdown selection option to stream to remote speakers.
    Have reset Airport Express. Have used Airport Setup to re-install....have
    done this using both a laptop G-4 (successfully to be able to a/b select
    either computer speaker or streaming to remote) but when trying to do
    the same re-install from the G-4 Quicksilver.... and getting a message that
    the installation was successful.... iTunes streaming network signal doesn't show up in the Quicksilver menu bar AND neither is there an option to select
    streaming to remote speakers.
    Other manipulation tried: disconnected cable modem, reconnected to
    "reset" the modem. Other observation: the Airport Express indicator
    is steadily green.
    I hope this makes enough sense that someone like Tessarex can suggest
    a solution to enable iTunes streaming with the G-4 Quicksilver, via the
    wireless Belkin router to the Airport Express and stereo. (I don't want to
    have to resort to using my wife's laptop to initiate

    With your QuickSilver G4 connected via Ethernet to the Belkin router, you should be able to stream iTunes to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by joining the Belkin's wireless network as a wireless client.
    Try the following...
    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
    Music tab
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (checked)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    - iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    - Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Using Airport Express as internet connection for one Mac and one PC

    Will probably be judged a complete dork for this question. I have successfully set up my Imac G5 to run an internet connection through an Airport express. My partner runs a PC (Windows XP) and I want to connect this too. Have installed a USB wireless card on the PC, and installed Airport Utility, but it just won't find the Airport Express - it will however find the Imac with something like 96% signal strength. So I set up a network on the Mac and have successfully linked into it with the PC, but it soon comes up with a connectivity problem that will not allow internet browsing. So two questions - can I connect two computers to the Airport Express at once for internet browsing, or do I have to do it through linking the PC to a wireless network? If the latter is the route - any ideas on what the connectivity issue will be? Help!

    No, not if the AirPort Express "joins" the wireless network.
    No, I do not want to join a network.
    It is possible to have the AirPort Express "create" a separate wireless network that would not have access to the Internet, but if you did this, you would need to log off of your normal network....(losing your Internet connection) and then log onto the AirPort Express network when you wanted to listen to AirPlay.
    Then, when you wanted to have Internet access, you would have to log off of the AirPort Express network and log back onto your normal wireless network.
    Ok, I understand that it is not possible to use airport express only for sound streaming while having an Internet connection at the same time. Airport express does need to join a network if I want sound streaming next an Internet connection. I wanted airport express not to get into way of my Internet connection because in this case the sound streaming messes up sometimes. When I configure airport express only as a sound output, the problems I encounter fade away but then I cannot access to the Internet. Anyhow thanks a lot for the answer.   

  • Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers

    Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers?

    I got an additional question bout this topic:
    is it possible to use both at the same time? in my case cable-connected speakers in the living-room and an Airplay-speaker in the bathroom and/or kitchen?
    so I select the Airport Express as Airplay-Output on my iPad and from there it's shared via cable AND wireless? this would solve the problem of being able to only select ONE Airplay-Output on my iPad at the same time...

  • Can multiple Airport Expresses be connected via ethernet to an Airport Extreme to extend a single WiFi Network?

    I am a big fan of both the Airport Extreme and Airport Express.  In my work environment, I need to create a good quality single wireless network around 2 large aircraft hangars and some offices at the perimeters.  We have a good quality wired Cat5e ethernet network extended between the buildings and offices now.  Is this possible and does it seem like a good practical solution?  I think that 4 or 5 Airport expresses would easily provide good wireless coverage in the needed areas. 

    Can multiple AirPort Expresses be connected via ethernet to an AirPort Extreme to extend a single WiFi Network?
    Yes, this will work just fine as long as any individual Ethernet cable run will not exceed much over 330 feet or about 100 meters.

  • Airtunes, Airport Express no internet

    I'm trying to just use my airport express to run Airtunes wirelessly. I'm not using it for internet but I can't seem to find a way to do this. I'm pretty sure you can do this but Airport Utility wants me to create a wireless internet connection. Can somebody give me a hand here?
    Thanks

    The easiest solution would be to have the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) configured to "Join a wireless network." In this case, you would have to have an existing wireless network the AX to join. If you do, I can provide step-by-step instructions on how to configure your AX for iTunes streaming.

  • Airport Express Card on a wireless PC network??

    Hey there, I was curious if it was possible to use a G5 with an Airport Express Card on a wireless PC network. My wife needs to be able to access the internet from another part of the house. Someone mentioned that it might be possible, but I can't seem to find anything explaining how to do it. Thanks for your time!

    Which wireless router are you using?
    Are you using WEP?
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • Airport express failing to extend wireless network

    Have got an airport extreme connected via ethernet to my Virgin Media hub (hub is in modem mode).  Also have an airport express to extend the wireless network.  Setup has been working perfectly for over a year, then this weekend, literally no settings have been changed, and airport express is giving me a status message of "This airport base station was unable to extend the wireless network. Make sure the wireless network you're trying to extend was setup and is working correctly, that you entered a matching wireless network password into this device and that this device is in range of the wireless network"
    I have reset to factory settings 3 times now and whilst it goes through the initial setup, i always get the same status message.  Front light is green. 
    The express version I'm using is the 2012 redesigned version, looks like a white Apple TV and it has the latest firmware.  I've tried configuring via my MBA, windows desktop pc (windows 7) and ipad, nothing works
    Any ideas?

    You have to think of the Express devices as matching pairs when you have one set up to create a wireless and the other to extend it. Here, I assume that you still have the extending Express set up to extend the network.
    Power off both AirPort Express devices. The power down order does not matter.
    Wait a minute
    Power up the main AirPort Express.....the one directly connected to the Virgin hub....and let it run a full minute
    Then, power up the extending Express
    Check the network and report on your results

  • Does Airport Express decrease internet speed?

    Right now I use wireless DSL in the home & the speed is very poor - 1.5 Mbps is the fastest available in my area. I have purchased an AE for airtunes and also want to extend the range in my house. Will using AE reduce my wireless internet speed when I connect to it? This would make a big difference to 1.5 mpbs.
    Thanks,
    J

    Thanks for the info.
    You will be able to configure your AirPort Express to "join" the wireless network created by the 2-wire for airtunes.
    Unfortunately, the Express will only "extend" a wireless network that has been created by another Apple base station, so it is not compatible for this use with the 2-wire.

  • I have a pioneer vsx-910-k and airport express.I have a wireless network at home. What's the best arquiecture/config to do with this hardware?

    I have a pioneer vsx-910-k and airport express.I have a wireless network at home. What's the best arquiecture/config to do with this hardware?

    I would suggest that you connect the Pioneer to the AirPort Express Base Station using an optical digital audio cable that has a TOSlink connector on one end and a 3.5 mm optical connector (Mini Plug) on the other. You can then connect the Mini Plug end into the AirPort's audio port and the TOSlink end into one of the Pioneer's optical digital audio ports.

  • Can I run a cat5 cable to a 4 port hub from a cisco router then connect one of the hub's output ports to an airport express to 'extend' my wireless range?

    Can I run a cat5 cable to a 4 port hub from a cisco router then connect one of the hub's output ports to an airport express to 'extend' my wireless range?
    Flow would be
    Cable modem---->cisco e2000 wifi router (This is broadcasting wifi but not strong enough)---->4 port hub ---->airport express (to extend the wifi in another part of house)
    thanks!

    Yes, you can do this as you stated. In essence you will want to configure both routers for roaming network. Please check out the following Apple Support article that describes this type of network. Although this article uses two or more AirPorts, it can be done with just about any manufacturer's router.

  • My 2nd generation Airport Extreme very slow via wireless (5 and belows mbps) wired over 20. Please help!

    My 2nd generation Airport Extreme very slow via wireless (5 and belows mbps) wired over 20. Please help! What could it be?

    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference nearby that is preventing your AEBSn from providing a clean RF signal on the 2.4 GHz band.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.
