Airport Express Slow With Windows on Mac

I'm running a Macbook with both Windows (via Bootcamp) and Mac. I just installed the Airport Express and set it up as my router. So far, when on the Mac side, the speed is fine when accessing the internet. However, I'm on the Windows side, the internet speed is very slow. The only other piece of information I can supply is that I'm using WPA security, rather than WEP. How can I fix this problem and make my Windows internet as fast as it is on the Mac side?

What I want to know is will the photo editing software I have installed for my mac run if/when I boot up as windows?
If you're using Boot Camp, no. If you're using an emulator such as VMware Fusion, yes.

Airport express works with windows xp but not OS Tiger

Hi all
I’m a troubled man.
I have recently bought a new Mac pro along with an airport express. I am a first time user of Mac’s.
Here is my problem.
I use a DSL modem and my airport express is connected with the LED indicator in solid green. When I try to connect using my user name and password the “searching for POPPE sever appears at the top of my screen.” And after a few seconds “could not find POPPE server. This happens all the time. I tried to get air tunes working but itunes could not detect my airport express.
Now since I’m an engineer I needed to run auto cad on my Mac so I downloaded Bootcamp, partitioned my Macpro hard drive and installed windows XP on my Mac book pro and to my surprise windows xp found my airport and connected to the server straight away. So I experimented and download the xp version of itunes and what do you know the xp version of itunes detected my airport express and everthing worked fine for Windows! This suggests to me that the problem lies with the mac software as the airport express is working fine. Whats going on! I do not understand.
When I go back to tiger it sees my airport but cannot connect. I run the airport assistant but it cannot detect my airport. I run the utility airport program but it cannot see my airport express. I go back to windows XP everything works fine???????
If you can come up with a solution to this strange problem I would be very grateful.
Thanks

The user name and password may be just fine but the dialer software for OS X may be quirky to the point where it doesn't work with your modem through an Airport connection. My recommendation is to try uninstalling the DSL dialing software from the computer and setting up the Express to do the dialing for you. Your computer connection then becomes straight Ethernet.
If that doesn't work, have you checked to see if there's a newer version of the OS X dialing software available?

Does Airport Express work with Windows Vista?

Sorry if this has been asked a million times before but I have just bought Airport Express on Ebay as a Xmas present for my brother but just realised that it might not be supported for Windows Vista.
Can someone shed some light on this for me please?
Thanks in advance

Yes.

Airport Express - slow streaming with Tunnel Blick

I have airport express and use Tunnel Blick on my Mac Pro for viewing BBC Iplayer but the streaming speed is terrible - it's much worse than the Belkin router I had previously and I'm within 6 feet of the computer.
Any ideas?

I'm trying to setup an older Airport Express to play iTunes
with a Windows Computer. I just want it to join my network,
since I'm already connected to another router.
Thanks,

Is there a Windows version of the Airport Utility (I think that's what it's called)...
Yes. That is only needed to configure the AirPort Express (AX).
...or do I have to go through Windows setup software?
You may have to do that to get Windows to join the wireless network.

I have a 6 yr old airport express. im using windows xp home edition. i cant get my computer to recognize my a.e. suggstions?

Was the AirPort Express previously working with the PC using XP?
What service does the Express perform on your nework?
Is the indicator light on the AirPort Express green, slow blinking amber, or solid amber?
Please tell us about any troubleshooting steps that you have already performed, and what happened after each step.

Can't connect (wireless) to my Airport Express anymore with iBook, iPad or iPhone.

Can't connect (wireless) to my Airport Express anymore with iBook, iPad or iPhone. It still recognizes the printer on the iBook (bonjour), but not on my Windows notebook (work). The only device that still connects via wireless is the PlayStation 3.

The latest firmupdate solved the issue.

Airport express connect with Imac via lan line or can not?

I using IMac with connect to internet with DSL modem router (having 4 lan ports).
Now I put Airport express connect with one of Lan ports from DSL router and still connect my IMac with DSL router via lan line and still connect to internet via lan line (switch off airport function in Imac).
The Airport express is using for provide wireless internet and printer to my other PC.
My Question is can I still set up as above and connect share file to my PC via airport express?
Forget to tell that I'm very newby to mac.

chounws, Welcome to the discussion area!
Yes you can do that. Configure the AirPort Express (AX) to operate in bridge mode (not sharing a single IP address).

Does airport express work with PC

Does airport express work with a dell laptop?
Can one setup an airport express for the very first time using a dell laptop?

Yes on both. FWIW, I currently have a Dell laptop that has no issues connecting to my AirPort network. I also have AirPort Utility for Windows installed on this laptop when I need to administer the base station. In my case the laptop is running Windows 7.

SQL Server Express compatibility with Windows 8.1 - Which version(s) are compatible?

We have purchased a new computer that has Win 8.1 Pro. We are migrating an application from a Win 7 Pro machine we are currently successfully using (the vendor migrates it for us) and they have said that the application will require the installation of SQL
Server 2008 Express (which we do have on our Win 7 machine).
In looking at the requirements for SQL Server 2008 Express (on the download page for it), it does not mention it being compatible with Win 8.1
In addition, Installation Instructions says that it requires:
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1
Windows Installer 4.5.
Windows PowerShell 1.0
I see that 3.5 is already listed as a program feature of Win8.1 and I've enabled it. Do I need to install SP1? I downloaded it, and launched it, and nothing happened.
I also looked at the Windows Installer 4.5 download page, and it's not clear if that is compatible with 8.1. Do I need to download and install it?
Power Shell 2.0 is already installed. I assume that will be backwards compatible with PowerShell 1.0; is that correct?
I saw another question about SQL Server Express Compatibility with Win 8.1 (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/038ec00e-4fc1-41ba-9fdc-21c022aad67e/action?threadDisplayName=sql-server-express-compatibility-with-windows-81) and the response
said that SQL Server Express 2012 will work, but the link contained in the answer led to a page for SQL Server Express 2014.
My vendor has told me that SQL SERver Express 2012 will be backwards compatible with their product. But they said that I would first have to install 2008 first. Is that correct for Win 8.1?
So, the ultimate questions are:
1. What is the link for Sql Server 2012 Express for Win 8.1?
2. Will the SQL Server 2012 Express download require prior install of the 2008 version
3. What other component requirements are required for SQL Server 2012 Express, and how can I determine if they have already been installed. (This is a brand new computer with a clean Win8.1 Install).
4. Finally, can we use the 2014 version of SQL Server Express for Win 8.1? If so, questions 1, 2 and 3 apply, too.
Thanks for your help on this!! HIGH ANXIETY.

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. Any suggestions?

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. The light on the Express is flashing green though. Does it mean I have to re-set the settings on Airport Utility? I.e. the old settings haven't been cleared yet. Any suggestions?

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

Is Airport Express compatible with ADSL2 modem?

I already have an ADSL2 Modem (with both ethernet and usb cables) which was provided by the ISP. I am looking out for a router since my current Linksys router is giving problems. I am thinking of purchasing the Airport Express since it gives me the option of using my printer and ipod wirelessly as well.
I just wanted to clarify if the modem will be compatible with the Airport Express. Also, if the Airport Express can be used as a proper wireless router for accessing the internet wirelessly through my MacBook Air.
Can anyone help please!
Thanks.

Thanks. I checked on my modem setup page and PPP over Ethernet ( PPPoE ) is selected. Does the AirPort Express work with this? Also, how is the connectivity? What is the difference between G & N. Previously I had a Linksys Wireless G router. The Airport Express seems to be N router? Will that create any problems. I just want to clarify before I buy it.
Thanks a lot for answering.

Does airport express work with garage band in lion?

Actually I know it can work and there are apps out there to make it work but I heard a rumor that Apple was going to allow functionaliy between the two in Lion. So my question is...
Will Airport Express work with Garage Band in Lion or do I have to buy third party software?

I believe the HP 2840 can be connected either via Ethernet or USB. If connected to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by USB, only the basic printing functions will be shared out; the scanning, faxing, copying features are not supported.
If the AX is configured so that its Ethernet port is enabled, the it may be possible to gain all of the printer's features by connecting it to the AX by Ethernet. In this case, the printer will use its own Print server to share out all of these features.

Airport Exreme - Airport Express droupout with multiple Airport Express sta

I have multiple airport express's, an iMAc, a Airport extreme router, all software/firmware to current release. If I play on the iMac and one set of remote speakers, no problems, once I add two airport express stations with iTunes, I get the dropouts. Any ideas. I have already got rid of wds, changd channels, tc. to no avail.

I have the same set up and had the same issue and a guy at apple support gave me a tip to try and it worked!. First remove all the expresses from the power outlets keeping your airport extreme running. I also recommend using a different channel say 11. and use ap grapher
http://www.chimoosoft.com/products/apgrapher/
to see if your network looks like it's running well after you resetup your everything or before you bother doing this. I found my audio gear was really messing with my airports bandwidth and when I moved it to a new spot ap grapher showed I was getting a nice steady 54mbit/sec.
So again unplug the expresses and keep the extreme up and running.
You must first do a reset on the airport express by pushing in the little white button on the bottom with a paper clip for a few seconds, but you should check out how to reset the airport express via apple's web site because there are 2 types of resets one with it plugged in and one with it not. Not sure which is right reset method so check that yourself.
Once you have reset it you want to set the first express to extend your preexisting airport extreme network using the airport setup utility. If you have two expresses you may only need to do this to the last one in the chain but it can't hurt to reset them all form scratch.
Once the first express is up and running you then unplug the airport extreme from it's power outlet. Then you go to set up the 2nd express after you reset it and here lies the trick. You extend the 2nd express off the first express without the extreme involved. Then you plug in the extreme back into the power and bingo you have tricked the express #2 to extend from the first express and they wind up with new ip numbers like 10.0.1 and 10.0.2. Instead of them competing for signal using the same ip address they now have their own individual ip address, it turns it into an extension chain. If that makes sense I don't know what the tech terms are for this but it did cure my issues of dropouts I thought it was odd that they had the same addresses so it makes sense that they should have their own.
Micro wave ovens cause drop outs and so do some wireless phones but you can always check on your signal using AP grapher. I found that when I walk around with my MacBookPro in my house that the expresses really don;t have much of a range so if they are really far apart that could also be an issue. I'm sure the N versions are much better and I am thinking about upgrading.
Hope this helps cause it sure took a long time to type:)
