Airport express - no internet connection

Hi
I've bought an airport express and am trying to connect wirelessly to the internet in my ibook with it.
I have connected the airport express via ethernet to my AOL broadband modem and set up a network on the ibook which says its connected but i cannot get onto the internet.
Is it possible that the ethernet cable is faulty?
Any help possible would be grateful.
Thanks

Hi Nikki!
Review this KB Article AOL Internet access requires an update when using AirPort.
You may need to download & install, the MacAirportFix, referred to at the bottom of that page.

Why won't my airport express allow internet connection on TV blu ray? I have internet connection on iMac

Why won't my Airport Express allow internet connection on my Blu Ray when there is internet connection on my IMac?

I'm guessing you only have the modem/router supplied by your isp and the Airport Express. Is the Airport Express connected to the modem/router with an ethernet cable? If not, plug one end of the cable into an available port on the modem/router and the other end in to the WAN port, indicated with a dashed circle, on the Airport Express.
Have a nice day.

AirPort Express (2nd) Internet Connection Speed

Dear All
First of all, I looked everywhere on the internet about this issue I’m having and couldn’t find any solution. To explain my issue let me tell you how and why I use AirPort Express shortly;
My Purpose
I have a wireless network and all my PCs are connected in one network. I have a Windows server and using it for general purposes and also as a file server. But if someone joins my network, they all are able to see my shared folders. They are able to read/write files (even delete them).
So I decided to create 2 networks with AirPort Express (2nd Generation). I have a wireless network for internal use only (for me and my PCs) and one Guest network.
Everything seems okay and there is nothing wrong.
How I Installed AirPort Express (APE)
I connected APE to my router (standard US Robotics DSL router) and my switch to APE. I used AirPort Utility on a Windows 8 PC and configured APE settings.
Base Station status seems normal (have a green light as well) and works okay. I can use my internal network, my PCs are communication with each other (they are all on the same switch). Guest network also works okay and seems like there is nothing wrong.
My router uses 192.168.2.xx IP range and APE is using its own 10.0.1.xx IP range. This makes APE to add an issue to Issues list as Double NAT.
What is Wrong?
I have internet connection and I can browse web pages and do that kind of things. But my internet connection is really slow and some times cannot display web pages. I have to refresh some pages a few times to display it. My ping increased 5-6 times over than normal.
I thought the problem is the PC that I’m using but then realized that every PC has the same issue. I made a speed test and it showed 352ms ping to the nearest server to me which is really a high value.
My connection is unstable. It’s not dropping but speed suffers. Here is a test result. In this test my ping was 31 ms but as you see speeds are suffering. My connection is supposed to be 8mbps (Down) and 1mbps (Up).
What should I do to fix it? What is the point I’m missing? Could you please help me? Please let me know if you require further information.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards

Dear All;
I just disabled DHCP Server from my router and now it seems to be better. But I don't know if it's something that I shouldn't do or not. Have any ideas?
This is the new result after disabling DHCP from my US Robotics router. There are still some minor issues (latency, slow downs etc.) but now seems to be better than before.
PS: I still have that "Double NAT" notification under Issues section.

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.

Airport Express and Internet Connection Sharing through XP

Hi all,
Quick question that I'm stumbling over a little.
I'm currently staying at a relative's house using their XP desktop, so I can't change the settings too much without seeming like a discourteous guest! Their PC is set up with a USB broadband modem, and no router. What I would like to do is share that internet connection with a couple of Macbooks wirelessly.
Internet -> USB modem -> XP desktop -> LAN cable -> Airport Express -> Wireless Macbooks
I have added an Airport Express and connected it straight into the PC's LAN port. The AE is in bridge mode, so it does not distribute IP addresses. Instead, the PC is distributing IP addresses in the range 192.168.0.xxx. This is working without a problem, as no fewer than four laptops and an iPhone have been designated unique IPs without problem.
Unfortunately, I don't know where to go from there, as nothing but the XP desktop will connect to the internet. Also, curiously, the XP machine can ping everything on the network, but the devices connecting to the AE wirelessly can only ping as far as the AE, and can't 'see' the XP desktop.
I feel like I'm not far from a solution, and any suggestions would be hugely appreciated!

Never mind! Figured it out myself. Turns out my relatives had McAffee running on their XP desktop. Disabled it, and everything works wonderfully.

Airport Express lost internet connection

Wireless modem reset by internet provider.
Can connect to internet via ethernet connection between computer and modem.
Can set up airport express, all computers see & connect to wireless network and green light on a/e.
Connect airport express directly to moden, green light but no internet connection.
rebooted modem, a/e, computer, reconfigured wireless network, still no internet.
Week ago everything was fine, then amber blinking light on a/e for couple days and then lost connectivity.

Suggest that you temporarily turn off wireless on your laptop and connect it to one of the ethernet ports on the Netgear router to see if you can get an internet connection that way. If you can, check the other ethernet ports on the Netgear to makes sure they are all operating.
However, if you can't get an internet connection with the laptop connected directly to the Netgear, then the probable trouble spot points to the ethernet ports/switch on the Netgear.
If everything checks OK in the first paragraph, then you know that the Netgear is functioning correctly and you can look elsewhere for the issue.
Try a factory default reset on the AirPort Express again as follows:
Power it down for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button and keep holding the button in as you plug the AirPort Express back in to power
Release the reset button after 10 seconds
After reconfiguration of the AirPort Express, if you continue to receive the "no ethernet" message after a few tries, then it's likely that there has been an internal failure within the AirPort Express. This can sometimes occur on AirPort Express devices that are a couple of years old or older.
If that's the case, I'm afraid the AirPort Express will need to be replaced.

Networking B210a via Airport Express disables internet connection

I'm trying to set up a new B210a printer. We have a PC & a MAC. I have an airport express router, so wireless between printer & desktops, then ethernet link from router to modem. Can access the internet no problem while B210a switched off. Can print from desktop to B210a when its switched on, but at that point the internet access stops. Any ideas?

Hi there. I have now tried connecting the printer to the Airport Extreme router using the usb port. I've therefore also disabled the wifi mode on the B210 printer. Print jobs hang / go no-where. Internet access is no longer blocked, but can't print! Whats the next step? Hope you can help. Thanks.
I just reread your recent post.
Why are you now connecting it to your Airport Extreme instead of the Airport Express?
Do you have an Airport Extreme Router and no Airport Express network extender? If that is the case I have misunderstood.
Does your Windows PC have a wireless network card that is WPS capable?
Are you using the latest Windows and Apple OSX drivers from your printer's suport webpages?
The HP Wireless Printing Center is another great driver and information resource.
I believe you should take a read of this thread. Member Wi-Fi Guy has written an article titled "Rapid Wireless Installation of HP Printers on Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n Routers. He described the same method I used with a clients home Apple network which consisted of an Airport Extreme an Airport Express a iMac and an HP wireless printer.. I used WPS and ifound it to be pretty straightforward to set up

I've just changed my router and whilst my laptops sync ok, my G4 tower which connects via an airport express doesn't connect to the internet. I think it's something to do with the IP or DHCP settings but have had no success, any help much appreciated.

Hi Jake,
Is it connecting to the Router or Modem?
Is the new Router using maybe WPA2 encryption? If so, G4s can only do WPA or less.

The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>Airport>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply.
Also, turn off IPv6:
System Preferences » Network » AirPort » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6

I changed cable providers and now my Airport Express won't connect to the Internet. How do I fix this?

I changed to Time Warner cable. Upon doing so, my Airport Express lost its connection to the Internet. When I run the Airport Utility, I am stuck at the first step, which says the AE doesn't have any DNS server addresses. What are they and how do I find out what they should be? And if I supply them, will that fix the problem?

Have you performed a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express?
If not, the Express is still remembering the settings that you programmed into it when you configured it to work with your old modem.
The Express is "looking" for your old modem, but it does not "see" 'it because it is no longer there...so it can't connect to the Internet.
If you have not already tried the Factory Default Reset and you need more info about this, post back for more details.

Can i transmit music from iphone to airport express without being connected to internet?

Airport Express won't connect to internet...all is green

My Airport express won't connect to established Network in my office. I am connecting to a 10/100 base T in the building (as the modem, I assume) and want to broadcast the network for wifi. Express sets up ok, but than cannot find the internet....any suggestions? The port is live as I can directly connect it to my Mac Book and find the internet without issues.

It is possible to have a green light on the Express if some network errors are overlooked, so it may be necessary to reset the Express back to factory default settings and start over again.
Keep in mind that some networks will not allow a router to be added to the network, so a computer might work, but a router may not.
What model number of AirPort Express do you have?
What operating system are you using on the MacBook?
Do yo know if the Express has been configured to operate in Bridge Mode?

Why does 2 Airport Expresses connects to one another instead of connecting to the primary Airport Extreme For internet Connectivity ?

I have Netgear DG834G router only for dsl connectivity wifi connectivity to that router is off. i have connected netgear that provides adsl connectivity to the (Shakeel's Airport Extreme) Airport Extreme dual band Wireless N 5th generation via cat 5 cable so airport extreme is the main wifi device through which i get wifi signals at my home. now our house is big and i have installed the adsl netgear modem and airport extreme router at the same place in my room in the upper story but the signals are weak even in the upper story at the other end of the house so i have installed the new airport express dual band wireless N in the upper story (Kafeel's airport express) and it is connected to the primary airport extreme (Shakeel's Airport Extreme) wireless router in range extention mode it repeats the same ssid. Our ground floor has another airport express dual band wireless N the new one ( Lounge's airport express) signal was weak there so i installed another airport express (Lounge's Airport Express) their and configured it to extend the range of primary router airport extreme (Shakeel's Airport Extreme) in the upperstory with the same ssid. Now the problem i am facing that sometimes lounge's airport express connects to kafeel's airport express instead of connecting to the airport extreme and the signals in lounge are weak because all the devices are connected to kafeels airport express and does not connect to lounge air port express. but when lounge airport express is connected to primary router airport extreme then everything works fine devices connect to lounge airport express and signals are full. i have took pictures of the problem i am facing you will understand better by having a look at it. In normal working setup both the airport expresses are connected to airport extreme which is shown in this picture
The second picture shows when lounge airport express is connected to kafeels airport express and not the airport extreme (Shakeel's Airport Extreme) this is the problem.
isnt there a way to correct this so that they dont connect with each other and connect to the airport extreme ?

Lounge's AirPort Express must be located signficantly closer to Shakeel's AirPort Extreme than it is to Kafeel's AirPort Express, and there must be fewer obstructions in the signal path than the other possible connection.
The reason is that if you want Lounge's AirPort Express to connect to Shakeel's AirPort Extreme, it must receive a significantly stronger wireless signal from Shakeel's AirPort Extreme than it does from Kafeel's AirPort Express.

My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer? My old airport did! then I updated to OS 10.9.2. How do I get it connected?

My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer. The old airport did. I recently updated to OS 10.9.2. I have since bought a new
HP 6700 all in one wireless printer, got the latest Comcast router. None of which connect to my computer wirelessly. Which do I throw away the printer, router, or Mac? Help

Contact HP for support.
Explain that you are using a Mac, anticipate the inevitable groan, and wait patiently for their resident Mac expert to return from vacation.
Until then download and install its driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5058338&cc=us&dlc=en &lc=en
Otherwise return the printer and purchase one from a company that visibly supports OS X. HP isn't on that list.

Max airport express to be connected?

How many Airport express I can connect in one network? as a maximum.

My question was not clear enough, sorry. I want to know how many airport express devices I can connect and still get all of them in airtunes, all of them togather. Example, if I connect 12 airport express devices around the house all connected to speakers, and then I press that button in the down right corner, would I get all the speakers? and will I be able to stream and broadcast to all of them?
Thanks anyway.
