Airport Express Refuses to participate in WDS

Hey there,
I am using a new wireless N Airport Extreme and an airport express extending it's range while sharing a printer and using airtunes. I have set this device up as "remote", I think that is right!
Now after a couple of months of having this setup working like a charm I have bought another Airport Express, but it simply won't work.
When setting up in the "Automatic" interface, it gets to the part where it asks which network to extend and what the name of the base station must be, then once I click on update it does nothin for a while then comes up with an error message saying "you cannot setup this base station for WDS because this computer does not have a wireless network card"... this error message comes from both my brand new iMac and my MacBook both running 10.4.10.
I can set it up in the manual interface but after I click on "save changes" the program sits claiming it is waiting for the router to restarts and says I can exit if I want. After I exit and re-open the airport utility, I can now only see my new airport express (which is sitting about a foot away from my iMac from now), the Airport utility says that it is fine (green status indicator) but the device itself is flashing amber.
If I try to get back into the settings, it is unable to open the device. To remedy this I have to do a hard reset and start over.
Going in a circle here, help would be much appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

Did you recently install Leopard (before adding the second Airport Express)?
I purchased a new Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11n w/gigabit) AFTER I had upgraded all of my computers to Leopard. I am having a **** of a time getting the new AEBS to stay connected to my Airport Express (WDS Network with the Express as a remote). In fact, I have given up completely and am returning the new AEBS and have reverting to using my older Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11g), which works PERFECTLY, even with Leopard installed.
See my message here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1206469&tstart=0
Apple DEFINITELY has some Airport problems pertaining to Leopard and/or the new Airport Extreme Base Stations (gigabit). I will wait for them to work the issues out before attempting to "go N" again.

  • Airport Express refuses to be administered!

    I have an Airport Express unit which refuses to be administered.
    Relevant specifications:
    Powerbook G3, OS X 10.2.8 with all current updates
    Airport Admin Utility says version 3.1.1
    Airport Express has version 6.3 firmware
    Whenever I try to connect with the Airport Admin Utility, either wired or wireless, I see the Airport Express in Airport Admin, but it has IP 254.128.0.0 instead of 10.0.1.1, like it should. Also it asks for a password, and since I have performed several factory resets, I try public and nothing happens, aside from the error that "it can't read the selected base station configuration".
    The wireless card is a Sonnet Aria PC card, with the Broadcom chipset, so it is treated by the OS as an Apple supplied Airport card, shows up in Network System Preferences that way. No sign of malfunction. Anyway the inability to connect also happens while wired to the back of the Airport, so strictly speaking this isn't really about the wireless functions of the Airport Express so much as why I'm unable to adminsiter it.
    Powerbook G3 Mac OS X (10.2.x)
    Powermac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    According to Apple you need to be running 10.3 to configure an Airport Express.

  • Airport Express Refuses to Be Setup

    I have an old Airport Express that I havent used for almost a year. I wanted to use it today, but it looks like I needed to run the setup again, as all I had was a solid yellow light and it didnt show up in the Airport Admin Utility.
    So I did the following:
    Unplugged the Express, held down the reset button while pugging it back in and continued to hold it until it blinked green 4x and went to a solid yellow.
    I ran the Airport Setup Assistant (v4.2) and chose the set up a new base station option.
    It found the Express and I chose to join my existing network (my network showed up in the dropdown list and I added my network password).
    I renamed the Express network and finalized.
    The Extreme resets, as it should, but the light is now a blinking yellow and it wont show up either in the Airport Admin Utility or iTunes.
    And when I go back into the Airport Setup Assistant to update an existing network, it's not in my list of networks.
    Anyone have any idea what could be going on here? I did a quick search in the forums, but couldnt find anything.

    Are you trying to add the AX as a client or to extend your Internet connectivity (WDS) to your AEBS?

  • Airport Express with wifi netgear in WDS

    I have a wifi network provided by a Netgear router. Can I extend it in WDS with an Airport Express? In other words, does the airport express go in WDS with a Netgear wifi?

    I have a wifi network provided by a Netgear router. Can I extend it in WDS with an Airport Express?
    This is one of those things where you really won't know until you try. If you need to extend your Netgear router, you really should use a Netgear device to do it to insure compatibility.
    The reason for this is that WDS was never adopted as an official standard, so the chances of one device working with another manufacturers device are open to question.
    If you want to try the AirPort Express, it would be a good idea to understand the store's return policy in advance before you buy.
    I would be extremely surprised if it worked with an Apple device, but I suppose anything is possible.
    Please post on your results if you try the Apple product.

  • Airport Express refuses to join network.

    I have an existing wireless network consisting of a D-Link DGL-4500 router running a mixed 802.11g and 802.11n network.  Everything has been working fine for ages.  I just bought an Airport Express in order to stream iTunes to my receiver.  I plug in the Airport, and get a blinking amber light.  I fire up the Airport Utility app on my iPhone, and right away it sees the Airport.  I configure the Airport for my network, and . . . nothing.  Blinking amber light.  The Airport Utility now cannot find the Airport, and eventually gives up with an error.  I check the logs on the router, and I see no evidence that the Airport has tried to connect to the router (I can't find the MAC anywhere in the logs).
    I also tried to configure the Airport using the Airport Utility on my PC (Widnows 7, 64-bit).  I did a factory reset on the Airport.  Thereafter, the Utility will not see the Airport.  I connect the PC directly to the default wireless network created by the Airport, but the Utility still will not see the Airport.  I have to choose "Configure other" from the drop-down and enter the default IP and password for the Airport.  Once I have done so, I can edit the configuration settings, but after entering the correct information, the Airport resets itself, and . . . nothing.  Again, just a blinking amber light. The Airport Utility cannot find the Airport, and eventually gives up with an error. I check the logs on the router, and I see no evidence that the Airport has tried to connect to the router (I can't find the MAC anywhere in the logs).
    Is my Airport broken?

    Bob:
    Thanks for the reply.  My understanding is that the iPhone Airport Utility app passes on the network settings to the Airport.  Since the iPhone connects successfully to the router and can access the internet (and therefore presumably "knows" the network), I would think that it is providing the proper information to the Airport.
    However, when using the Airport Utility on my PC, I have double (triple) checked that I am entering the correct settings.  I've lost count of the number of tries.  The D-Link is using WPA2-Personal security.
    What makes me wonder if the AIrport is faulty is this: I did a factory reset on the Airport.  When it restarts, it thinks it is a base station.  I configure my PC to "join" the Airport network.  However, the Airport Utility still cannot see the Airport, even when connected directly to it.
    I did try to connect to the Airport from my Windows XP netbook using an ethernet cable.  The Airport Utility saw the Airport, and allowed me to configure it, but when the Airport restarted, it disappeared.  The Utility could not thereafter find the Airport, and it did not appear in the router logs.

  • Airport express refuses to reset password--solution

    For awhile I've been bedeviled by an older Airport Express that could not be accessed via password in order to update firmware. Again and again we tried to reset the password, without success. In searching through the Apple forums I found several people reporting this problem, with no definitive answers given. Most of the threads are too old for replies, so I decided to post here for the benefit of others in my situation.
    Anyway, here's what I did: I finally tried the password "admin," and voila! Firmware promptly updated. At that point I was able to go in and change the password to one of my own. Anyone else with this problem might want to try the same thing. Good luck!

    According to Apple you need to be running 10.3 to configure an Airport Express.

  • Airport Express refuses to update firmware

    I have an airport express that seems to be stuck on the 7.4.1 firmware. Whether I try to upgrade to 7.4.2 or down to an older version, it always stays at 7.4.1. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

    Have you tried a Factory Default Reset first, and then tried to update the firmware?
    If not, try the reset as follows:
    Power down the Express for a few moments
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in as you then plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after 10 seconds
    Then open AirPort Utility to see if you can update the device. If you decide to try the default reset, you will lose all of your current settings, so you should understand that you will have to reconfigure the device again from scratch.
    If you cannot update the firmware after a few default resets, then there is an issue with your AirPort Express and it will likely need to be exchanged.

  • Airport Express keeps going wrong in WDS mode

    We run a wireless network with an Apple Extreme Base station, with an Airport Express to extend the network range.
    At some point every day the computers connected to the network via the Airport Express loose connection with the network. To correct the problem the Express has to be restarted. This is a real pain, and the problem seems to be getting worse.
    As far as I can work out the Express starts distributing the wrong IP address to the connected computers...
    Can some one help?

    After looking through the forum, it seems we're not the only ones having the problem http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5233251&#5233251
    Looks like another software issue apple need to fix.

  • Airport express refuses to connect to extreme network.

    I have an extreme network set up with 2 g5 imacs connected to a router. I wish to add an express base station to wirelessly connect to the established network as a client so I can stream music from either imac to the remote speakers plugged into the extreme base station.
    After doing a hard reset on the express it shows up in the airport utility and I follow the prompts to connect it to my extreme network but when I click 'update' I get an error message saying airport utility was unable to find my wireless device after restarting. I tried setting the menu item back to airport before updating but then I get a different error message (see last image).
    After I get these error messages I then have to do a hard reset on my express station to get it to show up again. Also I need to reselect the extreme network in the menu

    Perhaps you saved the AE's password previously in your keychain. When you reset the AE, its password reverted to "public" but your keychain was still sending the old password automatically, causing the problem you described. Is this correct?
    Please describe your fix in more detail for the sake of others with the same problem who may view your post in hope of finding a solution.

  • My airport express (n) and my airport express (g) in a WDS network. . help?

    Hey guys,
    I have two airport expresses. Up until now I've had the Wireless N version plugged into the modem, and then have that as part of a WDS network bridging to the G express upstairs.
    The N one has been temperamentla and sometimes needs a reset to work - as I game wireless this means I get cut out alot.
    I've decided to switch them around now and have switched each physical base station.
    I went into Aiport utility and simply changed the settings in each one around.
    For example where the main airport was the "Main" Participate in WDS Network, I changed that to "Remote WDS Network". Where the "Remote WDS Network, I've changed to "Main WDS Network".
    The end result is I get solid green lights on both (so the network is on) however in Network Settings I get "The network is connected via a self assigned IP and may not be able to connect to the internet".
    I'm currently typing this wired.
    Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

    The use of n and g together may cause issues since they set up different through the software. The one plugged into the modem should be main. The g uses the "WDS" setting, and the n uses something different like "extend network". I am dumbfounded as to how the settings need to be to work correctly. I have to g devices and one n device, and I had to use the two g devices to extend my network, and the n device is just for AirTunes. It doesn't work well anymore since apple updated the firmware and updated iTunes. I feel Apple have messed up big time. Check the boards and you will notice lots of issues that have become permanent problems recently with all the updates apple has thrown at us. My system worked flawlessly for 6 years, now it is nothing but dropouts, expresses disappearing from network and then reappearing hours later. It is a big problem that Apple created.

  • Airport Express WDS main weirdness

    I have some Qwest provided dsl modem/wireless router hooked up via ethernet to an airport express 802.11n configured to be WDS main. There is another airport express 802.11n as a WDS remote upstairs. If I connect directly to the qwest router I get good performance, if I connect to the WDS remote I get good performance. If I connect to the WDS main, I get terrible performance. I've tried unplugging, turning off ipv6 and lots of other suggestions I've seen, but nothing seems to help. I've seen the same thing with my imac and my macbook air, so I think the problem must be the airport express.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    If both of your Expresses are 802.11n capable, you can use the "extend a wireless network" option rather than WDS.
    WDS cuts the bandwidth of your wireless network in half when you add a remote device. "Extend a wireless network" will not do this.
    Can you confirm that both Expresses are "n" devices? Do you need step by step to set up the "extend" feature? It's much easier to setup than WDS and will perform much better.
    Of course, it is possible that you have a defective Express there. If you have time, you could switch devices, or test each one individually as a base station to verify proper operation.

  • Boost network signal using AirPort Express without using WDS?

    I want to boost the signal on my network using my airport express without setting up a WDS network, is this possible?
    I had previously set up my Time Capsule as a WDS main and my airport express as a WDS remote, but this slowed the network down dramatically.

    If you have an AirPort Express 802.11n, you can configure it to "extend a wireless network" and maintain "n" speeds on the network with a minimum of bandwidth loss.
    Check the model number of your Express is you are not sure which version you have. Look on the side of the device for the Model Number. Model No. A 1264 is the "n" version.
    Post back if you have this version and need more info on the "extend" setup.

  • AirPort Express 802.11g and WDS

    The other evening I spent two hours unsuccessfully trying to add an AirPort Express 802.11g as a WDS remote station to an existing AirPort network hosted by an 802.11g AirPort Extreme. The computer was using Mac OS X 10.5.4 and AirPort Utility 5.3.2. I believe both AirPort units have the latest firmware.
    I've been able to do this in the past elsewhere, but it seems like every time I try this, I'm successful despite my efforts instead of because of them.
    The AirPort Express Setup Guide 5.1 (http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/AirPort_Express_SetupGuide5.1.pdf) doesn't offer much help: "Open AirPort Utility and follow the onscreen instructions to extend the range of your AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express network."
    Apple's online support doesn't help much either. This knowledge base article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2044) discusses the AirPort Admin Utility, not the AirPort Utility. The feature to "auto configure as a WDS remote base station" that seemed to make this so easy with AirPort Admin Utility had is gone from AirPort Utility.
    Can anyone offer any advice about how to make this work? I've stumbled across some advice like making sure that the channel numbers are the same on both stations, but it would be nice if some Apple document had the computer story in one place. It would be even nicer if AirPort Utility had the same "auto configure" feature that the AirPort Admin Utility had.
    Thanks for any advice.

    I realized days later that I already had the information I needed. The electronic book "Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Network" (from http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/airport-n.html ), which I already owned, notes that the following items much be set the same on both AirPort stations:
    - radio mode
    - channel
    - base station password
    - wireless security method
    - wireless password
    I think my problem is that one station was set to a specific channel while the other was set to the default choice of "automatic".

  • Can AEBS, wired Airport Express and WDS Airport Express devices be mixed?

    I have been using an AEBS and three Airport Expresses (non N)in a WDS network using mixed b/g/n with two b/g mac minis, a b/g/n macbook and a b/g macbook for several years but have noticed the speed and reliability flucuating. I wish to do more music streaming and would like to improve the speed and reliabilty.
    I have cat5 in several locations in the house.
    Can I use the AEBS as a base wired to two Airport Expresses in different parts of the house(probably set as bridge) to extend my wireless g network and stream music to fixed points and then extend the network (?wds) with a non wired Express near one of the wired Express devices?
    Thanks
    Jim

    My Macbook with "n" runs on the 5ghz network...it must be pulling that directly from the AEBS.
    So I would guess that your AEBS is actually a simultaneous dual-band 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) ... correct? If so, then it would certainly make sense that the MacBook is connected to its 5 GHz radio.
    My wired AXs will be in two very different areas of the house. Is it possible to wire them as bridges, then set each as a WDS base to extend to their local area?
    I assume that you intend to create two different WDSs ... correct? If so, this should be possible. You will need at least four AXs to do so. Each WDS would have the main base station connected to the AEBSn by Ethernet; configured as a bridge, and as the main in the WDS. For each of the mains, you would have another AX configured as the remote.
    Since the mains are both configured as bridges, all wireless clients connected to either WDS should be able to see clients connected to either WDS or the AEBSn.

  • Can't bridge airport express network

    I want to join the wireless network of my neighbour (with his permission of course). He's using a Airport Express, as well as me. I want to set up my AE as a bridge from his network. Does he need to set his AE in Bridge mode before I can join? Or can I refigure his AE using my AirPort Utility?

    Both me and his Airport Express are 802.11g, does that change anything in respect to what you wrote?
    Unfortunately, this changes everything. Your only option is to configure both AirPort Express devices to Participate in a WDS Network. While this will provide more wireless coverage, there are some significant negatives with this older technology:
    1) The configuration of devices is difficult for most users. It is easy to make a mistake and hard to recover when one occurs. In most cases, you basically have to reset the Express back to factory default settings and start over again
    2) The bandwidth of the network will drop by 50%, so the network will effectively lose half of its current speed. This might be OK for general Internet browsing, but any downloads, updates, etc are going to take twice as long as before.
    I'm not recommending the WDS setup, but if you want to try it anyway, Apple's step by step instructions are here:
