Airport express needs resetting everytime I want to use it

I have an iMac G5 running OS X 10.3.9 set up on a wireless network to a D-Link router for the internet and an airport express to enable wireless printing to an hp printer. All worked fine until I changed the security settings on the D-Link router, requiring me to reset the Airport Express. After the reset, the printer worked fine. However, when I next went to use the printer, it wouldn't work. I jumped through hoops uninstalling software and drivers and reinstalling, plugging the printer into the computer directly, posting queries to these forums etc etc. As a last resort I did a hard reset of the airport express and set it up to join the existing network and then finally I could add the printer and it worked like a dream again. So, I shut down my iMac. Next morning, I start up my iMac, pay a few bills, turn the printer on to print out receipts....nothing. The airport express light is green. But I can't see the airport express under the airport admin utility. Has doing one reset the one time meant that now each time I need to print something I will first have to perform a hard reset of the airport express? Or is it coming to the end of its life (barely 18 months). Anyone with any suggestions?

  • 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?

  • Airport Express Needs Resetting Too Often?

    I use Airport Express with a PC laptop. I had a Linksys router that worked well, but switched to Airport Express to play iTunes through the stereo. Linksys worked wonderfully for 2+ years without any trouble. I've had Airport Express since May and every 2 weeks or so, the connection grows weak, pages take a long time to load, and timeouts increase. I reset and all goes back to normal. Why does this happen so often? Any way to prevent it? Thanks.

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

  • The airport express needs to be plugged into the modem to work?

    I already have a wifi device plugged to my modem I was trying to get a wifi extension signal to the other room. I boguht the airport express expecting to get wifi signal without having to plug it to the modem. Is that possible?

    As I said....
    The AirPort Express can "extend" the wireless signal of another Apple product....an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another Express......using wireless only.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have a minimum of two Apple routers if you want to be able to "extend a wireless network".
    The Express will not be able to extend the signal of your Xfinity modem/router using wireless only. It should be able to "join" the wireless network if you want to connect a remote printer or use AirTunes. But, the Express will not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it "joins" a wireless network.
    You will need to plan to connect the AirPort Express back to your Xfinity modem/router using a wired Ethernet connection if you want the Express to provide more wireless signal coverage for your network.

  • 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?

  • Is airport express needed for an airprinter

    is airport express needed for an airprinter? I'm confused about the concept. Pls help

    The concept is that you need a printer that is AirPrint compatible if you want to be able to print from an iPhone or iPad, etc without adding additional software.
    Apple updates the AirPrint compatible list from time to time, but you can get a general picture of AirPrint compatible printers here:

  • 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.

  • Does the airport express need to be on the same floor as the apple tv for best streaming?

    does the airport express need to be on the same floor as the apple tv for best streaming?

    Yes. Distance can increase interference causing delays in streaming.

  • HT204371 Does Airport Express need to be configured to allow AirPlay to work between an iPhone 4s and an iPad2?

    Does Airport Express need to be configured to allow AirPlay to work between an iPhone 4s and an iPad2? 
    Also, attempting to use Airplay with iOS7 shuts off sound to the speakers while allowing sound thru the ear buds!  The fix was to restart by depressing the lock switch (opposite the sound out port).

    Does Airport Express need to be configured to allow AirPlay to work between an iPhone 4s and an iPad2?
    You need a minimum of three things for AirPlay:
    An iTunes host. This can be a Mac, PC, or iOS device.
    A wired or wireless network.
    An AirPlay Speaker. This can be an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or a AirPlay-Ready device.
    Is your goal to stream between two iOS devices?

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • I installed an airport express, on my mac book i can use the airplay using iTunes, but on my iPhone en ipad the icon for airplay not appears on the screan when i start the music player.

    Chances are, you have already tried this and already know the answer.
    But, if not....sorry, but no......since your printer is not AirPrint compatible, you must use the extra software workaround in the Mac.
    A newer AirPrint printer would allow you to do what you want.

  • HT1515 can I make the Airport Express secured so no one else can use it?

    Can I make the Airport Express secured so no one else can use it?

    Choose a security protocol, WPA2 personal suggested. Then choose and install a strong password. Only users who are cognizant of your password will be able to connect to your wifi network. Of course, you'll need to do this via your Airport Utility application.
