Airport Express - need to run multiple internet connections from it.

My systems:
iMac
Airport Extreme
Airport Express
Currently, I use my airport express to wirelessly "feed" an internet connection to my Vudu box (movie download box). Right next to that box I would like to connect my Wii and DirecTV boxes to the internet using the airport express. The problem is that the airport Express has only one LAN line.
How can I share this one port with all three devices? I don't want to keep adding Airport Express boxes nor do I want to add an Airport Extreme at that location as I use airtunes on my stereo and Airport Extreme doesn't offer that. As you can tell I am not very computer literate so go gentle on me
any help is much appreciated.

Ok I need everyone's help. I just bought the AirPort Express I am running Windows XP Service pack 3 I have the ethernet connected to the airport express from our wireless router at the same time my computer is connected to the internet the same way. My computer has Internet just fine. After installing AirPort utility it is saying it is unable to find any Apple wirelss device. I am wanting to use my AirPort express with my IPhone when I travel Internationally. I know it works because fellow employess have done this. I have tried unplugging my Airport Expess and the light keeps blinking amber. How do I get to to flash green and how do I get the Utility to detect the Express so I can set everything up?

  • Airport Express all green, but no internet connection

    Hey guys. I'm using an Airport Express thru an ethernet cable at work. I'm attempting to create my own wireless network thru the LAN. I set up my AE in accordance with the Airport Utility instructions & everything is reading green. The AE, Airport Utility, & my wifi bar are all reading good, but I have no internet connection. What am I doing wrong? I reset the AE before I set it up.

    Do I need authorization from an admin?
    It is common practice for network administrators to require that each device that connects to the network be authorized......to prevent unauthorized access.
    Whether your admin requires this, I cannot say.....but it would be one explanation for the lack of an Internet connection.
    In a case like this, your computer.......which has been authorized.....might be able to connect to the network using an Ethernet cable....but a device like the AirPort Express....which has not been authorized.....would not be able to connect using the same Ethernet cable.

  • I want to connect an Airport Express via WiFi to my internet connection and then connect its LAN port to the WAN port of a Time Capsule. Will then any device connected to the time capsule wirelessly be also connected to the internet?

    Background is I can't hook up my time capsule directly to my internet connection via network cable. I tried to extend the network via Wifi, but that did not work. At the moment I have two wireless networks, one with internet connection and another one with my time capsule. So to use time machine I have to change my network all the time.
    Can I buy an Airport Express, use is as a client to my internet connection wifi and provide that connection via network cable to my time capsule and all it's wifi clients?

    The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
    So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
    Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

  • Airport Express signal fine but no internet connection

    We have been using an Airport Express for wireless Internet access and recently are unable to connect to the Internet. We use a Comcast cable modem, through a Linksys router, to the Airport Express. We can connect by network cable to the router and access the Internet, but are unable to connect wirelessly. We are getting a signal from the Airport Express (the light is green), but no Internet connectivity. We have restarted and done a hard reset (holding the reset button while plugging the Airport Express in) of the Airport Express, but it did not seem to help. The hard reset did not result in resetting the settings, so perhaps there is another way to reset it or perhaps there is another problem.
    Has anyone had similar problems? 

    I tried power cycling the cable modem, downloading new firmware (why didn't Software Update tell me about this?), deleting the DNS servers, hard reset of AirPort Express, factory reset of AirPort Express, fiddling with AirPort Admin Utility, fiddling with AirPort Setup, all of the above in different order and different combinations, and it still would not work.
    Power cycling the cable modem was one of the first things I did, and that resulted in getting Internet connection through the cable modem onto the ethernet cable; just no Internet through AirPort. Finally, after a factory reset of the AirPort Express did not help, I decided to power cycle the cable modem again, even though I had already just confirmed again that I was getting the Internet through the ethernet cable. Once the cable modem finished the power cycle, it finally worked! I was back on the Internet via AirPort!
    I'm not exactly sure which solution fixed it for me, but I suspect that it didn't work at first because I did not power cycle the cable modem afterwards. In other words, if after changing AirPort settings you still are not connected to the Internet, try power cycling the cable modem. Do this every time for each change you make to the AirPort settings.
    The other thing I learned is that unplugging the cable modem from the wall power outlet or turning off the power strip will NOT power cycle the cable modem properly. Instead, you must remove the power cord from the cable modem. I tried all three of these methods and for whatever reason, the only time it worked was by removing the power cord.

  • 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.

  • Airport Express ITunes working, but no internet connectivity...

    I have two Airport Expresses. Left one at work. The one I left at work was the main one, the other was piggy backing on the first one.
    So, without the main one, I held down the button to reset the piggy backing Airport, to reset it as a stand alone. Did that without any problem, plugged it into the speakers and to the internet, and the speakers/ITunes part works, but I can't get to the internet on the Airport.
    Plugging the ethernet cable directly into my computer works. But when I plug the cable into the Airport, I can get on that Airport and play music on the speakers/Itunes, but no internet. Sorry, I'm being redundant.
    Help says goto Internet Connect to see if Airport has internet connectivity, and that checks out fine. Yet, still can't connect.
    Oh, and my Airport light is blinking yellow. Airport Admin Utility doesn't seem to have anything particular to say about that. Hmmmm.
    Anyone know what I'm overlooking? Thanks in advance.

    oops. this isn't airport for windows.
    i'm going to repost under the correct heading.
    sorry.

  • 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.

    Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process

  • How to get internet connection from Airport Express to a PC?

    I recently bought an Airport Express to get internet connection from my new MAC COMPUTER TO ANOTHER PC which is located in another room. For unknown reason, I could not get the other PC to work. Any idea how to fix it so that I can get internet connection for my PC? Many thanks for your expert assistance.

    Currently, the Airport Express (not the Airport Express Extreme router) is acting as a base station via Ethernet to a cable modem.
    I guess that it would be correct to assume that your new Mac can connect wirelessly to the AirPort Express base station, and access the Internet that way.
    I am not sure if my 41/2 year old HP(Hewlect Packard) PC - (with AMD Athlon 64 3400 processor) which I am unable to get internet connection now is Wi-Fi capable.
    You said "Prior to using the new Airport Express,I was using the Linksys wireless G router and have a wireless adapter sitting on top of my PC.". The wireless adapter would be Wi-Fi certified (they normally are). Is it a USB adapter? Please post back with the exact model.
    Question: do I still need to use the adapter or not? Or the new Airport Express is enough to send internet signal to the PC?
    A Wi-Fi adapter would act as a wireless network card for a PC, and should communicate wirelessly with an AirPort Express base station without a problem (providing that the chosen security/encryption is supported on both sides). Since the wireless adapter apparently was OK (with the Linksys router), you should be able to continue using it. Any other (built-in) wireless capability ought to be externally visible at the PC as a PCI card with an antenna.
    Does the (Windows?) PC operating system detect any wireless networks? Is your AirPort Express on this list (even if you cannot connect or access the Internet)?

  • TS3276 Connect to internet via browser over Airport Express, but Mail app can't connect to internet

    Hi - I just moved to a new apartment, and I have an Airport Express that is allowing me to connect to the internet through a browser, but Mail keeps telling me that it can't connect to the internet. I'm guessing it has something to do with the network settings for my Airport Express? Not sure what the right configuration should be. Thanks!

    In Mail, from the Window menu select Connection Doctor - any feedback there? Within the window click on Network Diagnostics to see if it offers any clues.

  • 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.

    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.  I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result.  I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.

  • Does my Airport Express need to be hardwired to my modem?

    My Imac and modem are in my basement.  I have an airport express in my garage so i can play music through Airplay.  Does the airport express need to be connected to my modem with an ethernet cable, or can it just connect to my wifi network to enable Airplay?

    See this article, AirPort Utility 6.x: Set up a bridge or AirPort Express: How to join an existing Wi-Fi network in client mode , about configuring the AEX. Be sure to have your Airport enabled on the computer.
    I'm not sure how easy this will be when using a non-Apple router.

    Is there a way to configure win 8 Laptop to airport express?  I can see the connection to the wireless network, but troubleshooter suggests there's there is no gateway and of course no internet. The connection
    shows limited.  Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.  Further, should I simply buy another router for the windows machine?  If I did that, would it interfere with the airport?

    The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS.  This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
    You can connect to an external HDD via a  USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
    You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
    Hope that helps!!

  • Airport express needs reboot to be seen by iTunes

    My airport express needs a reboot to be seen by iTunes. Wireless network is Linksys EA4500 with 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz networks, Linksys RE2000 range extender set up for 5Ghz and airport express set up for 5Ghz. Latest version of iTunes software and apple express firmware. iTunes running on PC.

    Thank you for clarifying that for me.
    It may be possible that the placement of the AirPort Express in relationship to the extended Linksys Wi-Fi network may be the factor that it has to be rebooted when attempting to stream from iTunes.
    Where do you have the Express in relation to both Linksys devices? Same room, different room, different floor? Also were is the iTunes "server" located, again, in relation to all three device when streaming?
    Does the Express still exhibit the same problem for the following two conditions:
    When the Express is placed in the same room as the Linksys EA4500 router with the network still extended?
    When you temporarily disconnect the RE2000 so the network is no longer extended?

  • Airport Express needs resetting to give AppleTV an IP address (via Ethernet)

    So my Apple TV (3rd gen) is connected via ethernet to my Airport Express, but the Airport Express needs resetting all the time for my Apple Tv to get an IP.
    How do I get them to be friends forever without resetting the AE? When the AppleTv gets restarted, it still wont get an IP so I suspect the AE is the bad boy here. 
    Any idea's?

    Has this always happened with the Express or just starting happening recently? If just recently, where there any changes to either the Express' firmware or to the cable modem? What is the make & model of the modem?
