Airport express interference when my other new dell laptop with Vista

Hi,
My macbook was working great with airport express. Once I bought the new dell laptop with Vista it stopped connecting to airport whenever the Dell is on. Once I switch the Dell off, my macbook immediately connects with airport. The Dell never has any prob trying to connect. I've tried to change the channel but it doesn't help as my Dell is unable to connect. My radio mode is 802.11n ( which is b/g compatible) as I can't use any other mode since my Dell won't pick up other mode. Please help .
Thanks
Pralav

Thank you . I do have my Real player running. I turned it off and restarted and I still have interference from the dell laptop. My MB connect AE only when the dell is off. If start it my MB looses AE. The realy player doesn't seem to make any difference.
Thanks

  • Airport Express Problems when using Apple 27 " cinema display with Macbook

    I have recently got an apple cinema 27" display and when I connect it to my macbook and wake the computer up I cannot connect to the airport network. I can connect to wlan-ap, whatever that is, but my wifi barely sees my network. When I re-awaken the computer in normal mode, without he cinema display, the network can be connected to easily. Also, when I run the airport utility while using the cinema screen, you cannot see the airport express, but without the screen, you can.
    This is a weird wifi problem,=.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Try a different broadcast channel on the wireless router.

    No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
    You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

  • Airport Express interference.

    My Airport Express keeps picking up my neighbors wi-fi signal.  When this happens it interferes with my signal.  I have tried changing the channel on my base station but that didn't work.  I use a satellite network for my internet and my provider says my signal is strong.  How can I set up my Airport Express to ignore the other signal.

    Unfortunately, wireless interference is pretty much a fact of life these days with the explosion of wireless networks. There are far too many networks and far too few wireless channels to use.
    In general, you would want to locate your AirPort Express as far away as possible from any outside walls in your home or apartment, to help keep it from picking up signals from the neighbors. I assume that you are using the Express to broadcast a Wi-Fi signal, correct?
    Unless you have a way of knowing which channel might be the better choice to use at any given time, you may have better results simply restarting the AirPort Express from time to time. When you do this, the Express will automatically scan to find the best channel to use at the time. In crowded areas, you may need to restart the Express almost daily, since other wireless routers are also scanning and looking for available channels.
    Are you sure that the neighbor's Wi-Fi really is the culprit?  More often than not, the real problem for wireless networks is interference from cordless phones. If you have not already turned off all of your cordless phones for a few hours as a test, to see how the Express performs that way......now or soon might be a good time.
    Depending on the capability of your devices, and the model of Express that you have, it might be possible to set up a separate 5 GHz network for your devices to use. Since there is less interference on the 5 GHz bands.....for now....you may have better results using this higher frequency if all of your device support it.

  • I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express.  I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.

    Hi,
    I am currently replying to this as it shows in the iChat Community.
    I have asked the Hosts to move it to Snow Leopard  (you should not lose contact with it through any email links you get)
    I also don't do Wirelss printing so I can't actaully help either.

    Hi Kelly,
    As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
    Start with the section titled Check the network.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sincerely,

  • 2 Airport Expresses Next to each other

    Hi guys
    We have 2 Airport expresses next to each other plugged in on the same extention cable, with 2 ethernet cables plugged into them going to the same ethernet hub in the wall.
    Should this affect either of the Airports???
    Thanks
    Fiona

    The only problem you will run into is if both devices transmit on the same channel - you will then get interference with will make it difficult to communicate with either device. Therefore, run the Airport Admin Utility and under the Airport tab manually set the channel each one uses - each should be assinged a channel that is three channels away from the other.

  • When opening Elements 13 I have a message  The monitor profile "Dell S2340L color profile, D65" appears to be defective. I have a new Dell PC with Windows 8.1?

    When I open Elements 13 I have a message. The monitor profile "Dell S2340L color profile, D65" appears to be defective. I have a new Dell PC with Windows 8.1

  • IPhone 5s connect to airport express but when I play in iTunes no option to pick airport ?

    iPhone 5s connect to airport express but when I play in iTunes no option to pick airport ?

    If anyone would like to know how to fix this, I discovered the answer.
    I have no idea what IPv6 is and I care not, but apparently now, all of a sudden, Apple makes iTunes talk to Airport Express units using IPv6. However, it didnt bother to make the Airport Express units expect this first, so iTunes can see the Airport Express, but it cant talk to it.
    Anyway, I found that you have to manually go into your Mac settings (scary stuff if you are a non technical person like me) and turn off IPv6.
    To do this, go to "Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal"
    type
    networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi  (hit enter)
    Then type
    networksetup -setv6off Ethernet (hit enter)
    and magically your iTunes will talk to your Airport Express units again.
    I presume at some point we will have to undo this as technology moves on and everything uses IPv6, so when that happens go into Terminal again and type
    networksetup -setv6automatic Wi-Fi  (hit enter)
    Then type
    networksetup -setv6automatic (hit enter)
    Thanks Apple for that.

  • Do I need to have Airport Express to connect to other computers on our homer network?

    Do I need to have Airport Express to connect to other computers on our homer network?

    Not necessarily. You could use the "Create Network" feature of your MBP's built-in AirPort card to provide an Ad-hoc wireless network for local wireless-capable computers to connect to.

  • I need help installing iTunes on my new Dell Inspiron with Windows 7.

    When I attempt to install iTunes (downloading from the iTunes website) on my new Dell Inspiron with Windows 7, I get the following error message, "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
    Please help.  Thank you.

  • New Dell pc with windows 7 and won't download itunes

    I just got a new Dell pc with windows professional 7 os and not able to download itunes.  Every time, I click download, nothing happens, nothing is downloading. Did all the windows updates and checked my security software to see it was blocking it.  Is there something not computable with windows 7?  Or is there something else that I need to download first?  Don't have much software on the pc yet.  Even tried connecting my iphone to pc and didn't bring up itunes either.

    There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded.  As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads - like the previous 12.1.0.77 release, there are three different installers available, with direct links to these as follows:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit "for older video cards") - iTunes64Setup.exe
    The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer, should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version.  Based on evidence of the previous release, this may also be an appropriate alternative if you have playback issues or crashes with the standard 64-bit version.
    See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation.
