Airport Express running 7.3.1 is missing WPA/WPA2 Enterprise option

Hello.
I own a Airport Extreme Base station running 7.3.1 I am trying to access it using a 17inch Macbook pro and Airport Utility 5.3.1
According to the documentation there should be a way for me to setup a Radius server, is there an advanced setting I need to enable?
Thank you

Hmm, it seems that there is a bullet in the kbase that mentions devices which do not support 7.4.2 firmware, may still be able to play without that as a minimum.
G is slow, so that only compounds our problem. It could be age as well, however..... do you have an iPad or iPhone? I'd like to try to airplay from something else and see if THAT actually works.

WVC54GCA Missing WPA/WPA2 security options in web interface

I just got a WVC54GCA and found out that there are some missing configuration options in the wireless settings:
On the cameras web interface:
web interface > Basic : Wireless Settings > [ Edit Security Settings ] > Security Mode:
the dropdown gives me only two options: Disable and WEP, but no WPA, WPA2!
I upgraded to the latest firmware (1.1.00 build 02), but the problem remains.
Tried different browsers (Firefox 3.5, IE8) with the same result.
Is this a firmware bug? A faulty device? Anyone else having the same issue?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try to clear the Browser settings of your IE and then try to login to the setup page of your Camera, and check if you are able to find that options.... If still unable to find WPA/WPA2 Option on your camera, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your camera, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable....
Now check if you are able to find that options... If still not then i think it might be the problem with the Camera... I think you need to replace your Camera.

ITunes Automatically Change EQ Setting Based On Which Airport Express Streaming? I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different

I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different EQ setting to sound just right. Does anyone know of a way to have iTunes automatically change its EQ setting based on which Airport Express it is streaming to?

I'm in the same boat. I have a 6 zone amplifier running with 6 airport expresses to different rooms inside and outside the house. Each has it's own acoustic characteristics. I'd really love to be able to set each airport to equalize based on my SPL frequency sweep I did for each room.
Setting the eq in itunes won't do it as that is global plus I have many more sources for auiod other than itunes that use the AEs directly.

Cannot obtain DHCP IP address via ethernet for Airport Express running 7.6.4

Printer connected to LAN port on Airport Express running 7.6.4 cannot get IP address via DHCP. Airport Express is connected to an existing Wi-Fi network. Downgrading firmware version to 7.6.3 or lower resolves the issue. 100% reproducible. Tried this with 2 Airport Express devices and both had the same issue. Printer is a Star Micronics TSP 100 (point of sale receipt printer). This printer is used by almost all iPad based POS systems. It is affecting business operations.

Well I solved my own problem and it was working fine for months until Yosemite came along....
To tether my iPhone USB connection to an Airport Express Base Station (AEBS)- i did the following
1. Connect iPhone and turn on Personal Hotspot using USB
2. Going to System Preferences on the Mac click on Network
3. Set up the Ethernet setting with a static IP - (manual)
Configure IPv4 Manually -
IP Address: 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Router: 192.168.2.1
Next step is to configure the AEBS
Start from fresh -
Create a New Network
Internet Settings set to :
Connect Using: Static
IPv4 Address: 192.168.2.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router Address: 192.168.2.1
DNS Servers: 192.168.2.1
Then under the Network tab the router mode is set to DHCP and NAT
It worked beautifully until recently , after the upgrade to Yosemite it was working for about 1 month and then as of yesterday it stopped working.
I am not a networking guru and I am open to suggestions on a better setup. Has anyone got this setup working too?

Airport Express - running out of ideas why it's suddenly so slow

I'm hoping someone knows what's going on here - there must be something obvious that I'm missing.
The facts are:
- When I plug directly into my Billion ADSL modem via Ethernet, if I run a broadband speed test, it's up around 7000 kb/s, which is our ADSL speed.
- When I plug the Airport Express into the Billion modem and run a broadband speed test, it's stuck on about 230 kb/s.
- Strangely, however, I can run two, three or four speed tests via Airport and all run at the same speed.
So it seems that there's no issue with speed to the Airport, it's almost as if it's limiting the size of each individual connection?
Here are the (unsuccessful) steps I've taken to diagnose it:
- Changing the modem to bridge instead of routing - no change
- Toggling interference robustness - no change
- Turning off our cordless phone and changing wireless channel - no change
- Resetting all modem and Airport settings - no change
The speed slowness is being experienced across all our laptops - both Mac and PC - and it doesn't matter if only one person is online or all of us.
Anything else I should be trying? Is there something obvious I've missed in trying to diagnose it?

Airport Express running on 6.1.1 no AirTunes

I bought an older airport express. I updated the software to 6.3 but it kept dropping the ocnnection and requiring resets so I reloaded 6.1.1 which seems to work perfecetly on it.
My problem is that airtunes will not now work, it worked before on 6.3. I am running Lion and itunes 10.6.1
When I open iTunes it gives me an option with a dropdown menu on the bottom right of the window to select computer speakers or airpoort express but the later is greyed out and I cannot select it.
There is a forum but it did not solve the problem
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2022945?start=0&tstart=0
Any other ideas??
Thanks in advance

Chromecast - Does airport express run in isolation mode?

Hi -
I just bought a Chromecast and it's not working. One of the troubleshooting questions is:
"If you have a dual band router, ensure that it is not in isolation mode. This may require a small change in your Wi-Fi router settings. "
My Airport Express (2013 model) is a dual band router.
http://www.apple.com/airport-express/specs/
The Apple specs at the link above dont tell me any more about isolation mode - at least not in any language I understand.
I would appreciate anyone with experience with Chromecast to pass on some information on this thread.
Thanks in advance.

For the AirPorts, the Guest Network is disabled by default. You would enable it using the AirPort Utility, as follows:
AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Edit > Wireless tab > Enable Guest Network
Unless you are planning on supporting guest wireless clients, this should remain disabled. When enabled, the overall available wireless bandwidth must be shared thus potentially impacting performance. A Guest Network does not require a user to know a password. This is similar to Wi-Fi networks provided in coffee shops and is known as a "open" network.

AirPort Express runs at 57 C° - 134 F !!!

Is it normal?? So hot? My Airport runs at 220 volts. Should be dangerous for fire?
Thanks

Think and say what you like but I've been dealing with networking and WiFi for a long time and found that the Apple APE units are not that good to begin with. Then you have to use that Special program to access it. You don't have to do that with Any Other WiFi or Wired router made on this planet.
But then it is Apple and Apple always knows best.

AirPort Express running on Windows 7 SP!

Why do I get an error message (Windows 7 with SP1 is required) while opening AirPort Utility even though my Windows PC does have SP1 installed?

I have this issue with my 32 bit W7 SP1 laptop.
Interestingly it does not happen with my 64bit W7 SP1 desktop.

Airport Express 801.11b/g and the neverending, unconfigurable blinking amber light

Gather round and let me tell you a tale. Once upon a time I bought an airport express 801.11b/g and I was very happy to use it for airtunes, extending a wi-fi network and the wireless printing capabilities. One day, it beagn flashing a scaaaary amber light. The base station stopped showing up in my airport utility 5.6 as well. The only way to get it to show up, was to hard reset it, and lose all the configurations I once enjoyed happily. After the hard reset, It would show up in the utility, and I would reconfigure it to do all its cool things it once did, and it would restart. But sadly, after restarting the blinking amber light came on a again. It would also not show up in the utility unless I hard reset it again, and the same thing happened over and over and over until I felt like pulling my hair out.
I decided to get another airport express a few months later, ultimately deciding that the unit must have just been defective. Bad luck. But - the second unit literally went through the SAME EXACT THING. Worked for a while, then onto the blinking amber light- hard reset- reconfigure-blinking amber light thing. Over and over and over. Just like the first one. The end.
So - either Im missing something totally fundamental or I had the misfortune of getting two defective units in a row. Both were bought used from different places, and worked "fine" for previous owners. Am I corrupting these things or what?
I have spent literally hours trying all the resets, configuring "workarounds" and nothing works. For both of them.
What do I do with these two devices? I don't need two shiny white paperweights.
Please advise,
Thanks.

Yes. It seems an integral part of the set up process though, you don't have to seperately configure the airport do you?
My wireless security is WPA/WPA2 Personal. When I go through the standard network set up, it automatically enters my wireless security settings. So it doesn't really seem to give an option to specifically set that option on the airport if that makes sense?
I did go through maunual mode to try that with the same result:
If I'm using the airports own network and connect to the wifi, no security, then I'm getting airtunes from my macbook. Of course this means it's plugged into my router via ethernet which isn't any use to me as I want it in my kitchen, and would rather not limit my apple devices to b/g when I have a decent N router, and would also mean running a huge ethernet cable across my house!
The seller has said it worked for him but he's not up to scratch on his tech, so if I'm sure it's malfunctioning he'll refund. Obviously this is great news and he seems like a very nice guy so I want to be certain it's not me malfunctioning before I send it back!
So in summary I have it functioning on it's OWN network:
Wireless mode: Create a wireless network
Wireless network name: Apple Network XXXXXX
etc
Once 'wireless mode' is switched from 'create a wireless network' to 'join a wireless network' I select my current WiFi, security and password, checked the TCP/IP settings all good. Select 'Update'. Get the warning that device and network will be temporarily unavailable am I sure I want to continue. Then it goes through the same as before, says it's succesful, restarts to flashing amber with no way of accessing it unless I hard reset.
Thanks for the help so far...

How do I get device names to show on my airport express rather than the device ID?

When I look at devices that are running on my AirPort Extreme and airport express (running as a range extender) I only see their ID numbers. How do I get it so that I can see the device name? In other words instead of it showing 00:11:D9:38:3C:DA it would show Nest Thermostat. ive seen this on other peoples networks and cant seem to figure it out on mine

Things are hit and miss as far as client names being displayed in AirPort Utility. You might see a device name displayed at times and not at other times.
Unfortunately, Apple provides no settings or controls in AirPort Utility for this. Things will not look like the nice Apple advertisements if that is what you might be hoping for.
You might want to let Apple know that you would like more control for this "feature". If so, please use the link provided below.

Windows Vista and Airport Express

I can connect my Airport Express to my wireless router via an ethernet cable and get up the configuration page - easy!
Now for the difficult bit!
I cannot get Airport Admin Utility to recognise the Airport Express (base station in Apple Speak!) when I disconnect from the router.
Airport Express really sounds a great way to connect ITUNES to remote speakers etc but it is necessary to get it working with Windows Vista and get the wireless function working.Anybody sucessfully done it? Please only respond if you have managed to do this personally!

William - I am in a similar place.... I have an airport express running as an extension to my home wireless network. I have a TC that I use as my router. My macs can connect to my network (of course) but the windows vista laptop (sony vaio) does not...... HELP! Have you been able to get any answers??

IMac (on Ethernet) Can No Longer Stream to Airport Express (on WiFi)

After years of reliable service, all of a sudden I cannot stream music from iTunes on my iMac, via my Airport Express, to my stereo system.
First, a bit about my configuration:
   * iMac connected via Ethernet to a wireless router (D-Link DIR-655).
   * iMac Airport (WiFi) is turned off.
   * D-Link sets up a wireless network, and Airport Express joins the network.
   * Airport Express does not set up its own network, it's simply a client of the existing D-Link wireless network.
   * iTunes "sees" the Airport Express, and can stream audio via AirPlay.
   * iPad also joins the wireless network, and also can stream to the Airport Express via AirPlay.
   * iMac running 10.6.8, with all software updates applied.
   * Airport Express running latest firmware (7.6.1).
Well, that was a few days ago, when "it just worked". But for some unknown reason iTunes could no longer "see" the Airport Express.
So I took my Airport Express to the Apple Store and they did a Factory Reset, but it did not solve the problem. I figured my rather old Airport Express was failing, so today I bought a new one. The symptoms have changed a bit, but even after spending an hour on the phone with AppleCare, it doesn't work properly.
Now, the only way the iMac can stream to the Airport Express is if the iMac also joins the wireless network. In fact, now with Airport turned OFF on the iMac, the Airport Utility cannot see the Airport Express. But here's another weird thing: when I use the IP address of the Airport Express, the Airport Utility CAN connect with and manage the Airport Express, even with Airport turned OFF on the iMac!
I should also mention, the iPad has no issues whatsoever connecting to the D-Link's wireless network and streaming music to the Airport Express.
This all seems like something might have changed on the D-Link wireless router. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out what setting(s) on the router might allow the iMac - over Ethernet - to stream audio to the Airport Express.
Another thing. When I have Airport turned on on the iMac, it can "see" and stream to the Airport Express, but the music has very frequent drop-outs. Could this be related to the fact that the iMac has two IP addresses (one on Ethernet, one on WiFi)?
My goal is to get things "back to normal", where I can turn off Airport on the iMac, and all LAN and WAN traffic from the iMac goes over Ethernet. I have a few questions (for now :-)
   * Since my iMac has two connections to my LAN using two IP addresses (Ethernet & WiFi), is that likely to cause any issues?
   * When two computers join the same wireless LAN, can they effectively talk directly to one another, or does the wireless router need to be involved every time one computer sends a TCP or UDP packet to the other?
   * Do routers (or the DIR-655 in particular) tend to have any firewalls or policies that control connections on the LAN between Ethernet and WiFi clients?
   * Since AirPlay uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353, would the DIR-655 need any special configuration to "open these ports" so an Ethernet client can connect with a WiFi client?
So, any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks!
Jim

I am having a very similar issue. I use my Airport Express (AX) to stream music from the computers on my network to my stereo via Airplay. I have AX set up to wirelessly join my existing wireless network, which uses a D-Link DIR-655 router hooked to a Time Warner cable modem. I can succesfully connect all of my wireless devices via Airplay, through iTunes to my AX, including two laptops and an iPhone. However, my primary desktop PC, which does not have a wireless card is linked directly via ethernet cable to my D-Link router, and it is not able to see my AX. Similar to your case, I can see the Airport Express from my PC through my Airport Utility by directly typing in the IP address. Note that the AX set-up option to allow Ethernet clients is checked. I also noticed that my laptops will stop detecting AX if I directly connect them to my D-Link router via Ethernet and turn off their wireless cards. They will resume detecting AX when I turn their wireless connections back on. I have tried every conceivable setting of my D-Link router to no avail.

Airport Express as wireless repeater

Hi all, just wondering if anyone could give me a hand. I have just bought an Airport Express (not arrived just yet) not just for streaming music, but for extending my network. I am a student and have just moved into my new house. The internet here already is fine, the people here before me have given me the password to the encryption but not to the account or the router. This will all change in September, however. The router is a Netgear DG834PN. My iMac is having difficulty connecting to the network, I think this is due to the distance it is away from the router, as when I connect the iMac upstairs (nearer to it) it connects fine, hence the desire for a wireless repeater. Will I be able to use the Airport Express as a repeater? If not, what must I do? Must I get an Apple wireless router as well? Will a time capsule be fine? Please remember I cannot access the DG834PN's graphical interface at all.
Thanks in advance,
Jake

You will need to run an ethernet cable from the netgear to your airport express. then setup the airpor express as an access point. As you don't have access to the WebUI of the router then you wont be able to setup the airport express as a WDS or wireless repeater.
The other option would be to connect a timecapsule to the router via ethernet. Setup the time capsule as a bridge to the router. Then you would be able to extend the wireless network with an airport express.

I am trying to set the airport express with a printer; everything looks fine but I keep getting an error message, any tips??

Do you know where the error message is coming from? All the set ups looks fine.
Do you think I should reset everything and start from scratch?
Cheers,
JB

An AirPort Express running firmware version 6.3 must be an old one. The Express is unrelated to Bluetooth, but it is likely that your wireless speaker signal is interfering with the Express's wireless signal. This is a common problem with wireless speakers and the older 2.4 GHz - only Express.
The cure probably going to require upgrading your Express to a newer model, and using the relatively interference-free 5 GHz band.
Read: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
NB:
Sources of interference
Wireless speakers that operate in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band.
