Airport Express + iPod Touch + Hotel Room (non WiFi access)

Just a question, since I tend to be the Mac guru at the office. Someone asked me if a hotel has non-WiFI internet access, can you connect to the web using only an Airport express and an iPod Touch?
Since I don't have either I really couldn't give a good definitive answer. I told him it seemed like you should be able to plug in the APE, connect the eithernet cable, then find the signal with the iPod Touch.
Anyone know if this is true, or is there some set-up that would need you to have a computer connected?

Most of the time this will work. If the hotel uses some type of web page authorization it might not work.
You may need a computer to configure the AirPort Express (AX) properly to connect to the hotel's Ethernet connection.

  • I want to use Airport Express in my hotel room using the wired internet connection, but I don't carry a computer, just my iPad.  Is that possible?

    I want to use AirPort Express when I am traveling.  I would like to use a wired internet connection in a hotel room to create a wireless connection.  However, I do not normally carry my laptop, just my iPad.  Is it possible to do this?

    You will have to pre-configure the Express using AirPort Utility on your computer before you leave on the trip. The Express will store and remember the settings.
    You might want to check with the hotel in advance to make sure that they have Ethernet ports available. Most hotels have switched to wireless and the others are not far behind.

  • Anyone used Airport Express to use hotel wired connection for iphone wifi?

    I'm thinking of getting a Airport Express to take overseas. It appears a lot of hotels offer free wired internet access but charge for wireless.
    Anyone done this?

    Yes. You connect Airport Express to the hotel room's ethernet connection. You have the Airport Express distribute IP addresses (NAT). You can then connect computers and devices to your Airport's wireless network.
    Some hotels don't have wireless but charge for wired. Using an Airport Express in this manner allows you to connect more that one device for the one charge.

    How can I set up mhy Airport Express to extend my Time Capsule wifi wirelessly
    Assuming that you have the model A1264 or A1392 version of the Express, it must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule to be able to extend it correctly.
    A good general location would be a point that is about half way between the Time Capsule and other area that needs more wireless coverage.
    You will use AirPort Utility on your computer to configure the Express. An iPhone or iPad could be used as well.
    We can provide more help....if you need it....but we'll need to know what version of AirPort Utility that you are using on your computer....or whether you want to use an iPhone or iPad to setup the Express.

  • Airport Express becomes inaccessible (apart from routing WiFi)

    My configuration: an Airport Extreme (7.4.2), providing WiFi access, with a 1TB USB disk attached for Time Machine backup. MacBook Air and Mac Mini clients, both via WiFi, both running Time Machine. There is also an Airport Express (7.4.2) extending the WiFi network.
    This setup runs perfectly for days at a time, and will then unexpectedly fail. When it fails, WiFi is still handled correctly, with new clients being able to attach, and full access through to my cable modem. However I can no longer connect to the USB HD, either through Finder or via Time Machine. If I run Airport Utility, it will discover the Airport Express, but if I click "Manual Setup" it will take ages (rarely less than 5 minutes) to retrieve the device configuration. I've not established an upper bound on the delay....
    Power cycling the Airport Extreme seems to work, but I'm not thrilled with that approach. (How do you fsck a remote disk?)
    Any suggestions?

    * correction, I was pinging 10.0.1.1
    Any help is appreciated.
    EDIT:  And of course, right as I post this, it starts crapping out again.  Pings start timing out.  Ping responses go to 3000ms.  It takes 60+ seconds for the Apple Discussions page to even load!!!   Really!  Come on Apple.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Piggybacking my iPod Touch onto my iMac to access the Internet

    There is no WiFi available but my iMac is online. What do you think? Can I piggyback my iPod Touch onto my iMac to access the Internet .. on my iPod Touch?
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks.
    Michael

    If your iMac is connected to the internet via an ethernet cable, you can indeed set up an ad hoc wireless network for your touch. Here's what you need to do:
    1. Turn on the Airport
    2. Go to System Preferences > Internet & Wireless > Sharing
    3. Set up your computer to share the ethernet connection with the Airport and you have a wireless network.
    While this can be done, I really suggest you do this via a wireless router as it offers better firewall protection.
