Airport express setting

I want to use my iPad and airport express in my business trip, how I can config the Airport express so that I can use the cable Internet in the hotels, before my departure? Thanks

In addition to gatortribe's comments, the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) can store up to five different configuration profiles.
You will need to use the AirPort Utility, located in Applications/Utilities to create & save these profiles.
To create a new profile:
Open AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
Click "+" to create a new profile; give it a name, and then, click OK.
Set options, such as network name, passwords, Internet connection method, etc.
When done setting the options, click Update.
To switch profiles:
Open the AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
Click on the desired profile, and then, click OK to apply the new profile and restart the AX. Just remember to switch to the desired configuration profile before removing power from the AX.

AirPort Express set up for Outdoor Speakers

I need some advice from those who have used AirPort Express to drive music to a pair of outdoor speakers...I currently have my outdoor speakers (Def Tech AW6500s) set up to my home theatre receiver "B" speakers...When I listen to my music through AppleTV, I can choose to listen to my "A" speakers inside and/or my outdoor "B" speakers. Sometimes the kids want to watch TV or play video games while the adults want to continue to listen to music outside, so that's why I'm thinking of getting a separate system, using AirPort Express, for the outdoor speakers. (Although my receiver (Pioneer Elite 94TXH) supports zoning, I find it a little complicated and not as versatile).
I've done some research on what I'd need for the set-up...basically an additional amplifier hooked to the Airport Express. I've read other posts suggesting I can get an amp for anywhere from a few hundred to the cost of a modest home. I've seen info on the Peachtree Audio Nova which draws raves for digital music, but I'm not sure I need that type of quality (nor price tag) for outside. I'm not an audiophile, but I can tell good sound from bad, so I want some guidance to find the right balance...
I'd appreciate any thoughts!!

Jomobco,
I actually did look at the Sonos system when I was at Magnolia purchasing my speakers. Since I already have a few AirPort Expresses set up for my bedroom and kids' playroom, I thought it might be redundant. I was thinking about the Sonos more though when I started researching the Peachtree Nova and Decco, but I was a little hesitant about spending that much more for the system....It seems like a great system, though!!

Airport express set up gets stuck at "waiting for airport"

Hi - I have a A1264 model of airport express & macbook air is running Yosemite. I'm having trouble connecting back to my wireless network (I've had no issues with it in the past, just that I unplgged the APE & now needs resetting after plugging back into the power).
I've tried all 3 types of resets & furthest I get is it allows me to 'add to existing network" & the final step of "waiting for airport..." on the APE utility is where is gets stuck & after 10-15 seconds is says there's an error & to try again.....
Am I missing something?? thanks for any help.

Attempted to set up an HP wireless printer and my whole network is now a mess. HP help told me I had too many signals, as I have a Time Capsule 4 Macs and 4 Airport Express set up. Anyone else figure this out?

I attempted to set up a new HP wireless printer. It is unstable and HP support says I have too many devices since I have a time capsule and 4 airport express either extending my network or being used for a different printer or stereos. Anyone else find that their Airport Express/Extreme interferes with a wireless printer. If so, what's the point?

I have a similar model, the HP 8500A here in the home office that I originally hooked up using wireless on an AirPort system consisting of an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule and 2 AirPort Express devices.
The HP was originally hooked up to the "main" router using wireless as a test to see how wireless would perform. No issues with setup or performance over the first few weeks. I did eventually change the device to connect using Ethernet once I had room to move the device near the AirPort Extreme.
HP is pulling your leg with the advice about too many devices. The AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule will handle up to 50 wireless devices. In my case, I did nothing except follow the setup procedure and restart the entire network....something that I always do when I make any change to the network.

Strange Airport Express setting and iTunes

Here's the deal: I have set up my AE, a long time ago, to use an static IP address from the ISP and to distribute IP addresses using 10.0.1.1 scheme. Everything has worked flawlessly for 2 years or so. Now I moved and the connection sometimes drops, which led me to believe someone had hacked my password and was just using all my bandwidth (BTW, is there a utility that will let me check traffic?) so I decided to turn off the IP distribution and just use the static IP. Internet works fine but my iTunes speakers are gone, when I try to connect to them I get the error "the remote speakers are not compatible with this version of iTunes". Updated to latest software, both OS and iTunes, no go. Reverted to IP distribution, everything works again.
What's going on? How can I solve this?

xplan303ex, Welcome to the discussion area!
More than likely your original problem comes from RF interference. Other neighboring wireless networks and devices operating at 2.4 GHz can negatively affect your wireless network. Try changing the channel used until you find a channel which works better or you run out of channels.

If you want to keep your network secure, use WPA2 or WPA with a non-dictionary password.

Time capsule airport extreme and airport express set up question

I have all three
Can I use the 3rd generation airport extreme then setup roaming network by connecting using Ethernet to a 4th generation time capsule and then use the airport extreme to extend the 2.4ghz network wirelessly or do I have to use the time capsule as primary?
What should the settings be to get then talking correctly?
My issue is I get weak 2.4ghz reception in the back of my apartment, my 5ghz speeds are great.

To connect your Mac to the modem you may need to reset your modem to convince it to connect to a "new" device. Depending on the model of modem, that can be as easy as removing power for a few moments. If that doesn't work, remove power and wait 15 minutes. Further reset steps can involve pressing a "reset" button or removing a battery if the modem has one. In the worst case, your ISP may need to edit its settings to update to the MAC address of the new router. If they won't or can't do that, powering down the modem for 16 to 36 hours can reset the connection.

How to set up Airport Express to extend Buffalo WHR HP 54g wireless router

Contrary to what official Apple policy is, it is possible to use Airport Express as a remote repeater using a Buffalo router.
I sent hours setting up this network and wish to share what I learned
I only wanted to use the Airport Express as a repeater to distribute the internet to the far reaches of the house--no iTunes, no Printer, and I did not bother setting security. If you want to add any of those features please make sure that the basic setup is working as described below. I have no idea how to successfully set up these features. My advice is to search the internet for guidance.
Anyway: how to set up the Buffalo wireless access router to work with Airport Express
Setting up the Buffalo:
From the routers home page of 192.168.11.1, hit the "advanced" box at the top
1.     Go the "Wireless config"   "basic" item. Give name to your network (spaces are allowed), lets call it "WIRENAME" and select wireless channel 1 or 6 or 11. These channels have the least interference and will tend to work when the others do not.
2.     Go the the "repeater" item under Wireless config. . " Enable" repeater/bridge (WDS). Next register the MAC address of the Airport Express. Record both the LAN and Wireless MAC addresses.
That is about it. Your Buffalo system Info page should look like this

Airport Express (Model with 802.11G +54MBPS Mac/PC and Set Up Issues

Hi,
We have a 4 Mac and 1 PC Household. Cable Internet Service by Roadrunner.Cable model (owned) connected to a D-Link 802.11G wi fi router (by ethernet from cable modem)in the family room , then out to a Imac (the half moon base and LCD screen with a airport card also in the family room and the closet computer to the D-Link
router, (we did add a D-Link antenna to the router ? about 10 months ago (a D-Link ANT24-0700 (Version 1.2)and a HP 4 in 1 printer attached via USB to the Imac
,a eMac 1.25 ghz 1Gb ram with airpot card also connected wirelessly (no printer attached on the same floor but in a ajoinging room about 20 feet from the Router, and another eMac 1.0 Ghz 1Gb ram with airport card in the upstairs part of our house (a bedroom) and no issue with Internet connection (it has a Epson 3in 1 printer attached via USB, and a MacBook Pro with 802.11N wireless card in side , bought for a Christmas/Birthday Present and also for college.It to has no issues with the Internet where ever it may be in the house. Our sole PC a HP tower with a added D-Link WDA -2320 Range Booster Desktop Adapter (802.11G) and we added a D-Link Antenna same model as the other a ANT24-0700 to help with Internet access which it did as well as adding some ram to increase page loading time etc. It does not have a printer attached. I will get to the Topic Area now
The Airport Express. I was not involved in the set-up as I was laid up due to a bad back and post major knee surgery , But I always (especially recently) wondered why the light was amber and blinking. I read through the manual and also
Apple.com support and MacFixit.com (which is under construction and moved to part of Cnet.com)and then went to the Airport Express Discussion area (sorry for being so wordy) I need a Twitter account to post!) We have a network name for the D-Link and the computers all were added and it also supports a Xbox 360, a Sony PlayStation 3 and a Nintendo Wi (in online use without issue) but..
A network was also as it appears to myself) for the Airport Express and under the half moon bars showing connection strenght (there is our D-Link network "phoenix" with security protection WPA2 I believe) as I have set up the router, We had a Apple Base station prior that was ? 802.11B (a half moon white unit) still have it in the box ) So for normal daily use, checking e-mail and internet use all of the computers use the "phoenix" or D-Link supported Router 802.11G
and The other network calld Apple Network with numbers and letters after it (and hopefully security) password is unknown , The Airport Express is set up connected via USB to a HP B&W laser printer which has saved quite a bit of money on ink, To utilize that printer you must switch from "phoenix" The D-Link router network to the Apple Network (followed by letters and numbers) The Imac and the eMac in the family room and a ajoing room (after switching to the Apple Network
can than print to the lasr printer. The eMac upstairs and the HP Windows XP Professional software can not print to the laser printer (yet the HP PC shows it as a individual network and a strong signal, equal to the Internet connection from the D-Link, and the eMac (after switching under the half moon (not the proper name I am sure) to get to the Apple Network to print , it will not print, yet it shows a 5 bar signal, same as the D-Link connection. I do believe we have two seperate networks (but do not understand why the two Mac's in the family room can print to the laser printer by simply switching networks and then file and print. ** One other 9probaly major item is that it states to set up the Airport Express with a Mac With OSX 10.4 or later (at the time of set up, we had the Imac and two eMac's all running Panther OSX 10.3.9 9which they continue to have installed) We obtained the HP Tower and Monitor and HP 4in 1 printer ust before Christmas in 2008 and the MacBook Pro in Mid December 2009 (current model and running Snow Leopard 10.6. The HP Tower runs Windows Xp Professional (Service Pack 3) so the MacBook Pro which is much more mobile , could be used to do the set-up, or the HP Tower coulf be moved temprarily, I do recall if Router changes (at least with The D-Link You need to be connected by Ethernet to the Mac
that would be doing the set up/configuration of the router (and it runs OSX 10.3.9 and is a older Mac (with 80Gb Hard drive that is partioned for OS9 and OSX as well , it is under a Ghz processor wise and less than 1 Gb of ram as the last ram slot required a seal to be broken and 256mb of ram (?) could be added
it has 768 mb of ram but knock on wood running well. We use Lacie external drives
on the Imac and both eMac's and need to get external drives for the HP PC as well as the Mac Book Pro (15" screen)
I apoogize if I repeated myself, and rambled but I wanted to (in one post) to explain our set up and network configuration
Questions
1) if indeed it is that the two networks is true and a set yp that is not correct
can the Airport Express be configured without opening up the router (when ever that happens it seems one computer is unable to get online and each time its a differnt one a Mac or veen the PC
The PC under My Computer and Networks clearly shows the wto distinct and seperate netwoks with strong signals and the distance is not far (it is through a floor as the other emac and the PC are upstairs and cabling by ethernet is not a option
2) If I need to open the router would I add the Airport Express as a client as if it was one of the computers or gaming systems on the network? (adding the Mac adress or IP address (not sure how you find the Mac address) and its been while since the router was opened up for any additions or work on it.
3) would it be on the same channel as the router or not ?
4) Hopefully with proper configuration the light will stay on (and green) on the A/E and the eMac and HP PC will be able to print to the laser printer. Currentlt
when anything needs printed from the PC its put on a Flasg Drive and plugged in tothe Imac and the the Apple Network is selected and data printed, The eMac upstairs has the option of using the attached Epson 3 in one or doing the Flash stick work around.
I would be verya appreciative if some one took a look at the set up above and advised me of what is right, what is not right* and what to do to fix things up
I would imagine after proper set up, delete the Apple Network from the PC and eMac upstairs and ? all of the computers as we should have one base station (the D-link and the spoke (the A/E connected by UBS to the A/E (it may be ethernet but the cable connection from the A/E to the HP laser printer is correct (the rest of the A/E set up ... Please , tell me where it is and where it should be
and ? any idea why we can print to the laser printer down stairs and not up stairs ? it did mention printer set up with Panther as possible, page 43 of themanual we have un chaper 5 Tips and Troubleshooting (under whn your printer isn't responding) (we do not have the interfereance listed in the manual,
our phones are land line, one 900 mghz and the others 5.8 ghz
It is possible to move the A/E and laser printer if that would help the two computers (desktops) upstairs) bt the distance is way less than 150 but their is a floor and ? duct work (metal ) but I think here is a place to stop typing and let some of the experts on the discussion forums take a look.
one lst note (as the lap top will be going off to college in the fall (runnning Snow Leopard, and the other 3 Mac's run Panther OSX 10.3.9 should the HP PC windows Xp Professional be the computer to set up the air port express and the Airport Utility proram installed & would this conflict with the current Router (set up by a Macc running OSX 10.3.9 (Panther) i.e (should both set ups be on the same computer?) but actually aThe D-Link is OSX10.3.9 compatible (and 802.11G) and set up requires ethernet connection to a Mac (You type in the numbers and . etc and password as administror and you are in, or should the admin be on the same cpmpuer for the router and A/E ?
(and considering a Airport Extreme Base Station as well as dual frequency simulataneus and 802.11N (for the laptop now) and future, or wait. The 802.11
in theory would broadcast farther..?? even if computers had 802.11b(our Mac Desk tops and the PC 802.11B card
Thanks Again!!!
Many, Many Thanks

Hello again,
D-Link Router is model DGL-4300 (along with a D-Link ANT24-0700 Omnidirectional
7dbi Antenna . Our Cable Internet ISP (Roadrunner) provides consumers with dynamic ISP address's . All Mac's have Airport Cards and The Hp Tower XW4550 has a D-Link Rangebooster G Desktop Adapter WDA-2320 (also with a D-Link ANT24-0700 Omnidirectional 7 dbi Antenna (the PC OS is Win XP Pro Service Pack 3) The 3 desktop Mac's run OSX Panther 10.3.9 , The 15" MacBook Pro OS is OSX 10.6 Snow
Leopard (not sure what is after the .6 (right now) D-Link's website is
http://www.dlink.com , I have configured this router multiple times in the past.
also added as clients on the network (Utilizing the D-Link Router) are a X-Box 360, Sony Play Station PS3, and a Nintendo Wii all of which have on line ability
and enables online video game play with any one online.
As mentioned prior the Airport Port Express is Model A1084 Part No. M9447OLL/A
which is USB conected to a HP LaseJet B&W , model 1020 and some how the two computers near it can switch to the Airport Express Network from the D-Link Router based Network and print wirelessly to the A/E connected LaserJetPrinter
I realize I will need to reconfigure the D-Link Router and add the A/E as a client. I will try first to use the Airport Utility and see if I can do anything
Utilizing it (adding it to the D-Link network, I think its unlikely but worth a try but* the password is unknown but I have a few guess's as to what it may be.
I do have the necessary admin and network paswwords to cconfigure the D-Link Router,
1) * If the the A/E Utility experiment fails and I need to re-configure the router * do I need to (as per the Airport Express Set Up Guide (Use a Mac with OSX 10.4 or later or a PC with Win Xp Home or Professional (have a desk top PC that has the specs) and The Mac Book Pro meets the Mac Spec's)
If I can not get a password to work on the A/E I would reset it using the reset button
And before plugging in the A/E , connect the appropraite cables in our case a USB cable to the LaserJet Printer then plug in the A/E
2) I would then connect by Ethernet from Either the Mac Laptop or The PC to the D-Link router (if not the router will not set-up correctly)
3) The one question that puzzles me is that we are not using the A/E as a base
but a client
in two sections(Using Airport Express , connecting a Printer via USB
and use Airprt Utility to create a new network or join a new newWireless computers using Mac OSX 10.2.7 (Tiger) or later or a PC with Windows XP and it then goes in to the steps of ising the printer for both a Mac and a PC (using Bonjour on the CD that came with the A/E (this appears to contradict needing to use Mac OSx 10.4 or a PC with Win Xp set the A/E up for use as a printer
(joiing a new network or existig one)
And in Chapter 5 Tips and Roubleshooting= Your Airport Express Status Light Flashes amber & Your Printer is not responding (it is flashing amber and the printer does not respond to the two computers upsstairs (one Mac running OSX 10.3.9 & One PC running WinXp and its states to make sure the printer is selected
in the Printer list o client computers, to do this on a Mac using OSX 10.3 or later , open Printer Set Up Utility and follow steps and if a PC with Windows XP , Open Printers and faxes and then follow steps
in Closing ? can I configure the A/E Utility with a Mac using 10.3.9 as above or
? Per Chapter 1 Getting Started use a Mac with OSX 10.4 or later or a PC with Windows Xp Home or Professional
Perhaps I am taking the tips and trouble shooting and Printer Set up out of context or does the getting Started Computer specs contradict them or are they
for use if the A/E was going to be a Base Station and not a client..
Will keep at it,

How to set up an Airport Express on Windows 8 on laptop with no CD drive?

I recently purchased an Asus Ultrabook which has no CD drive. I have Airport Express set up on my old laptop, this was set up via an installation CD.
How do I move the Airport Express to my new laptop and install the software without the CD? I can't seem to find a software download for it.
I'm sure this is a basic question for those in the know, but I'm stumped!
Thanks :-)

I have set up apple tv and airport express but cannot get apple tv to recognize the airport express wireless. Any solutions?

Airport Express set up a wireless network in my classroom. Apple TV is working but only recognizes the school network. I would like a solution other than connecting the two with a cable. That would require hanging cables since I am using apple TV to run a video projector.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting articles below and verifying that you have the Apple TV and Airport Express configured properly.

Canon IP4200 - AirPort Express - HP Notebook Windows XP

Hey guys,
I have just got an AirPort Express and an AirPort Extreme to set up my wireless network at home. Got everything working except printing wirelessly from my HP notebook.
I had installed the latest drivers for it from the download page at canon.com and followed the AirPort Express set up guide (the printer is hooked to the AirPort Express). The problem is that I can't print anything from the notebook despite de fact that I can get the printer working from my iMac.
But searching the forum I discovered that Rob Broadbent (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1242459&#1242459) got an IP4200 working by changing the Raw Port, but that didn't worked for me.
Can you guys help me?
iMac Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Just got it working: returned everything to factory settings, reinstalled everything and hoped for the best...

New time capsule+new airport express=daily dropped connections

I have a new 2 TB Time Capsule and a new Airport Express that I puchased to update my old set-up of an Airport Express and Airport Extreme.
I have the TC set-up as the primary base station in the back of the house and the airport express set-up to extend the network in the front of the house. I was getting constant disconnects up front for the first several days so I finally exchanged the new AX for another one thinking maybe the first one was faulty. I reset the TC back to factory defaults for good measure and re-set up my network the same way with the new AX.
Two days with no disconnects, thought it was fixed, and then it started again...no joy. Not as often as with the first AX, but still it happens 2-3 times a day and always up in the front of the house while we're on our MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. When this happens both the AX and the TC have green lights and full bars of connectivity show in the menu bar, but yet no internet access. The only way to reconnect is to restart the AX. I have noticed too, that when this happens, the Airport Utility does not show the TC at all...even though it's light is fully green and it should be there, it just shows the AX until I restart and then both show up again.
I've tried changing the channel from automatic to a specific channel but this really doesn't change things much. Now I'm starting to wonder if something is awry with the TC. I've also noticed that it sometimes fails to back up because it can't find a connection to my iMac which is right next to it in the back of the house.
So far this upgrade has been more of a downgrade. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just an update and still seeking some advice for this situation...anybody?
I tried re-setting both TC and AX to factory settings and re-configuring. Still get at least 3-4 dropped connections up front on a daily basis; however, TC has been connecting successfully and backing up my iMac, so at least that seems to be ok.
Still the same situation with the TC not showing up in Airport Utility every time the network connection drops happen...just the AX is seen until I finally have to restart the AX and then both can be viewed in Airport Utility and the internet connection is restored. Sometimes I can restore connection by simply toggling my airport access on and off in the menu bar of my MacBook Pro, but more often then not, I have to restart the AX itself to get back online.
Is it possible that this could be an issue with the TC? Somehow it might be dropping the connection to the AX? I can still exchange it for another if this may be the case. I'm already on my second AX thinking that the Express was the problem initially.
So far, nothing seems to help the situation. About the only thing that I haven't done is configure the AX to just join the network rather than extend it...but that would be defeating the purpose of why I bought it in the first place (to stream iTunes and extend network).
I never had issues with my old set-up, but then I had it configured as a WDS because I didn't have the option to "extend" the network as it was an older AX and Airport Express.

Trouble getting internet through Airport Express

I am trying to set up the most basic wireless network with a cable modem, Airport Express and G4 Powerbook running 10.4.6. I have went through all the steps of setting up the modem then the Airport Express and configuring it with Airport Admin. and all that. I get perfect signal from the express but when I open Safari it doesn't do anything. It doesn't come up with the network diagnostic "Not Connected to the Internet" screen or anything. When I plug my modem directly into the Powerbook through ethernet it works fine.
It seems as though I am just missing a step or an option or something like that.
I have also tried to use my roomates old Motorola WA480G wireless router with similar results. I can get Wi-Fi signal through the Airport card but Safari brings up the network diagnostic screen.

I am having this exact same problem, only using a Dell laptop with Windows XP instead of a Mac. I had my Airport Express set up on a LAN at work a couple of months ago and it worked perfectly. It's been in storage for a couple of months, and now that I am trying to set it up at home with my cable modem, I can't get it to connect to the internet.
When I plug the modem in with an ethernet cable everything works perfectly. But when I plug it into the airport (after doing the power down/power up process) the LED goes solid green, but nothing will load in my browser. I can use other wireless networks without problem.
I also can't get it to print anymore. When I plug the printer directly into my computer it prints just fine. But when I plug it into the airport, it won't print. I've set the printer up using Bonjour, and the Airport Admin utility detects the printer. But when I print I get an error message saying that the printer failed to print the document.
Any ideas?

How can i run AirPort Express for both a Mac and Windows 2000 SP2?

I have my AirPort Express set up for my iMac and it runs fine. We have a house guest who has a laptop running Windows 2000 SP2. Can I set up Airport so that both computers can access internet wirelessly?

Just did a quick check of the Unofficial Averatec Support Forum. Several posters there upgraded the driver for the wireless card to support WPA on the 5110.
They used drivers from other computer manufacturers and indicated that Averatec has not provided updated drivers.
They were running XP SP2.
Many Averatec models have weak wifi cards. Mine included. Sorry I am unable to be of more help.
Good luck
