Airport Express sometimes looses connection

About once a week Airport Express stops comunicating with the Macs, iPhones & iPads.
It looks like it is still working, green led flashing normal indicating data transfer.
Unplugging power for a few seconds to do a restart always fixes the problem.

Hi
thanks for your tries....
but it's not that Airport does not work at all.. I DO HAVE internet connection perfectly well... (I wrote in my original topic: What works.. Music Store (which also uses Internet from within iTunes)
The only thing which does occasionaly drop is: Remote speakers..
and I do want a fool proof concept of getting them back... I don't want to play around days after days.. in testing stuff which does not work

  • Airport express keeps loosing connection to Time Capsule

    For several years I have had no issue with mt Airport Express staying connected to my Time Capsule/router. Now 2 of my Airport Expresses keep loosing the connection and flashing yellow. I have done the resets where I press in the little button on the bottom while plugging the AE back into the power source and reconnecting through Airport Utility and that will do the trick but after a short time the flashing yellow lights will go back on.
    Would it help to turn off the router, rest all the AEs? It is so frustrating to keep loosing the connection and nothing else has changed; e.g. the AEs are all in the same place. 

    Same thing here! I didnt have the problem with airport express until I update the os from 10.6.2 to 10.6.6. I have been calling the apple support and they couldnt help (or thou sounded like they knew for that particular problem). I got from my work MacBookPro and same thing happen. I hope that apple will read this and just want to tell them that this is my 10 computer made by apple and God knows the last one! First of all they made the the fireware with the bad chipsets so I have to but extra cards and then airport. I cant connect at all to any wifi and have to put the cables on the floor from the wifi router to the ethernet input which is more than 10 metres. Apple sort this asap!!!!!!!!!!

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • Airport Express won't connect to Extreme by ethernet

    Hi,
    Here is my setup:
    a) Airport Extreme (802.11n 2nd gen) connected by ethernet to cable modem
    b) Airport Express #1 setup to wirelessly extend network
    This has worked fine for quite some time.
    Now, what I tried to is add a 2nd Airport Express via ethernet, so
    the new setup is:
    1) cable modem via ethernet to Airport Extreme
    2) ethernet connection from Airport Extreme to D-Link 8 port gigabit switch
    3) ethernet from switch to several devices (Tivo, GoogleTV,etc) and also to an in-wall ethernet connection to another part of my house
    4) ethernet from that in-wall ethernet to another D-Link switch
    5) ethernet from that other switch to printer (currently works fine) and to Airport Express #2
    6) Airport Express #1 still connected wirelessly
    Problem: Airport Express #2 will not connect.  Won't show up in Airport Utility.  Nothing.
    I have tried several factory resets.
    After many tries, I finally tried connecting it wirelessly.  This worked, and I was able to see AEX#2 in the Airport Utility.  But, when I then tried to connect it by ethernet, it shut down my entire network.  I can not anywhere find step by step instructions on how to connect the AEX by ethernet to the Extreme.
    I have reviewed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145 but find no help there.
    Looking forward to some great help.

    If I switch Express#2 (the one I would lilke to connect by ethernet) to "create" a network, with the same SSID and PW, then I can only see Express#2 in the utility and the Extreme and Express#1 dissappear.
    As soon as you set the Express #2 to "Create a wireless network, the setting for Connection Sharing will change from Bridge Mode to Share a public IP address. That is likely what is throwing you off.
    Setup Express #2 to "Create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, same wireless security and same password.
    The next...and last....and critical....step before you click Update must be to change the setting for Connection Sharing from Share a public IP address to Off (Bridge Mode).
    Now click Update and wait for a green light on Express #2.
    Then, you have to power cycle the entire network.
    Power off everything in any order you want.
    Wait a minute
    Start the modem first and let it run a minute
    Start the AirPort Extreme next the same way
    Then the switch, etc.
    You get the idea....keep starting devices one at a time until the entire network is back up.
    Now all the AirPorts will be on the same subnet and visible in AirPort Utility.

  • 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.

  • WRT160NL and AirPort Express 802.11n Connection

    I have a Linksys WRT160NL that is currently connected to 2 Apple AirPort Express 802.11n via WiFi.
    The connections are Cable Model via ethernet to WRT160NL
    WRT160NL ethernet to PCs running XP and Vista
    WRT160NL WiFi to laptops at 802.11g
    WRT160NL ethernet to DirecTV HD Box
    WRT160NL WiFi to Airport Express to ethernet connection of DirecTV HD Boxes (2 connections) (802.11g)
    This current setup works. The hard wired components work as expected and the wifi to the AirPort Expresses work as well. The only issue I have is that the AirPort Expresses are only connecting to the the WRT160NL via WiFi at 802.11g speeds. I want to be able to conenct the AirPort Expresses at 802.11n speeds as I am having some streamin issues for High Def video. I verfied in the DHCP Client Table of the router that the AirPort Exresses are connected via "Wireless-G" to the routers. The AirPort Expresses are running the lastest firmware from Apple and I am running Firmware Version: 1.00.01 B17 on the router.
    Any help/ideas on how I can connect the Apple Airport Express to the WRT160NL at 802.11n speeds? Are these 2 devices just not compatible with each other?

    Thanks for the reply Scrooge. I have verified that the Apple Airport Express is 802.11n complaint:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB321LL/A/AirPort-Express-AirTunes?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco=MTA4NTc4MTE
    I have also checked to make sure tha the router is set to Mixed mode:
    Mode:      Mixed
    Network Name (SSID):     xxxxxxxxx
    Channel Width:     Standard - 20MHz Channel
    Wide Channel:     N/A
    Standard Channel:     2
    Security:     WPA2 Personal
    SSID Broadcast:     Enabled
    The airport expresses are still connected at 802.11g according to the DHCP Client Table from the router. Is there any way to force the Airport Expresses to connect at 802.11n?
    TIA

  • 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.

  • My airport express is not connecting with my airport extreme base station. They are probably six years old. My IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0

    My Airport extreme and my airport express are not connecting together. I get an error message saying that my airport express software is not compatible with my Airport extreme and I have use them together for the past five or six years. It says I may need to change my IP address on my computer or something like that but I don't know what to do. the IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0. Should everything be on the same IP address? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Please refer to the information already posted above:
    If you see A1084 or A1088 there, your older Express is not supported by the newer version of AirPort Utility that you have.
    If you have another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC, then you could use that computer to administer the older Express and it will work on the network along with the AirPort Extreme.
    If the Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard or PC does not "see" the A1084 Express, you will need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button for 10 seconds and waiting a full minute for the Express to restart. Then, reconfigure the Express again.

  • 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?
