Airport Express WDS to Linksys?

I just purchased an Airport Express in an effort to boost the signal from my Linksys WRT610N. I went through the process of setting everything up, I selected to have it join an existing network and selected the network. However, after everything was complete I went into Airport Utility to see if it was working but the device no longer comes up. The green light on the device is solid but I don't seem to be getting a boost on my WiFi signal and I cannot figure out where to verify if it's operational. Any help?

Welcome to the discussions!
According to top user Duane's research, there are only a very few routers that are compatible with Apple's WDS.
The Linksys models are WRT54G and WRT54GS (up through version 4).
Refer to this post for more info:

When the AirPort Express "joins" a wireless network, it can be used to provide a signal for AirTunes or a remote printer, but it does not "boost" or "extend" the wireless signal in this type of configuration. You have to use the WDS setup to do this with other WDS compatible routers. Unfortunately, I don't think there is anyway that this will work for you.

  • Linksys WAP54G, Airport Express WDS and WPA

    Hello,
    I have previously been able to set up my Linksys gear and Airport Express to work in WDS with AirTunes thanks to the great thread at
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=607414&ft=y&#607414
    I am wanting to know if there has been any update in being able to do the above but with WPA and not WEP.
    I would prefer to have WPA obviously and was wondering if anyone has been able to do this and what additional steps are required.
    Regards

    I have been trying to set this up with my WRT54G for a while now and have had no success. I've tried pretty much every 3rd party firmware available.
    After countless Googles and searching many forums, I've found that nobody has been able to establish a WDS connection w/WPA between a Linksys router and AX. There have been a few people that say that apple is doing something incorrect, how I know that WDS with WPA work just fine between the AEBS and AX. Note that you can let the AX join as a client and have WPA work, but it won't work if it joins via WDS.
    I have basically given up my search and am currently looking for an AEBS on eBay.

  • Airport Express WDS linksys WRT54G2

    How would I set up my linksys WRT54G to my Airport Express using WDS? like my airport express acting as an extender with airtunes.

    If you just need to stream AirTunes to your AirPort Express Base Station (AX), you only need to configure it as a wireless client to the Linksys router, however, if you also want to extend the Linksys's wireless network with the AX, then the WDS would, as you already know, would be appropriate.

  • How to set up the airport express with a linksys wireless-g broadband router

    I need to know if and how to set up an airport express to use to extend a home wi-fi network. I have AT&T service with a 2WIRE modem. I am using a Linksys wireless-G broadband router. I also have the new Macbook Air notebook. The airport express keeps giving me a blinking amber light even when the ethernet cable (from the modem) connected. Please let me know how to set up an extended wifi network using this system. Any help would be appreciated.

    If that is all that is done, the Express would not provide more wireless coverage.  Instead, it would duplicate the coverage provided by the Linksys and there would be two WiFi systems covering approximately the same area.  As per my above comment, one Express connects via Ethernet to the Linksys.  The second Express provides the extension.
    You must have misunderstood what I was saying.
    Linksys is providing a wireless network.
    The Express is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys router using a long Ethernet cable (or Ethernet powerline adapters)
    The Express is located on the other side of the house, for example.
    The Express is configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as the Linksys router
    The Express is configured in Bridge Mode
    This has worked quite well for me for years. Computers "switch" from one wireless access point to another smoothly and automatically while they move around the house.
    Although this is an "extended" network, it is technically known as a "roaming" network.
    This is what I was suggesting as a possible alternative without having to buy more hardware.

  • Airport extreme + Airport express WDS Windows only problem

    Hi,
    I bought an airport extrem to replace my Belkin and redesign my network@home.
    The airport extrem give Internet/ethernet linked to a Linux PC, and eyehome. He also gives Internet to a macmini, a powerbook, and a macbookpro.
    I had an airport express which gives me airtunes before, I tried to use it for a WDS.
    It seems to work fine if I go in the studio near my house with the MBP > I see my network, connect and surf fine.
    But, I put it in WDS to extend the network for a (sh#*$€ù£) PC under windows for my son who loves NWN2...
    This Pc had a belkin wifi usb adapter which works slightly well before; Here the Belkin utility say that the signal to my network is really strong but he don't want to connect. He gets a local IP 169.xxx.xxx.xxx
    If I use the airport utility tool on the pc to connect the airport express : it doesn't see anything ; no network, no airport express.
    When I use the MBP with the airport utility tool I can see that the password doesn't have 13 digit likes the one I give but it seems to have 26 characters under the password.
    So I think that it convert it in the wep128 key but I don't know how to get it in clear! (he do it again when I try to put the only password). I looked @ my keychain but it only have the clear password which I Know..of course
    Do you have suggestions to get this key in clear?
    MBP, MM, PWBK & Pc   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Well! I've got it
    with the airport utilities > clic to "configure" BUT have look @ the menu and not the visual menu.
    In French (sorry) : Borne d'acces > mot de passe equivalent du réseau : select
    You will see the password (of course you know it before) BUT also : the hexadecimal code.
    I put this hexadecimal number in the pc authentification tool and it works fine : I have my IP, and I could go to the internet with it.

  • Airport Extreme (Fast Ethernet) + Airport Express (WDS) = disconnects

    I have an Airport Express configured as a WDS, bridging a wired device (a small PC running Linux) to an Airport Extreme (Fast Ethernet). Security is enabled (WPA).
    Frequently, the Airport Express disconnects from the wireless network and I have to reboot the thing by unplugging it. I have it set up to log to the PC, but I'm not sure what I should be looking for in the log.
    Any guidance? I'd like to hold on to the Express, but I can't if it's acting flakey like this.

    More than likely you are experiencing RF interference from other devices operating at 2.4 GHz. You can use a tool like iStumbler to see what other networks are visible in your area. Then you can configure your 2 base stations to use a channel which is as far as possible from the channels used by other networks.

  • Airport Express WDS and itunes

    I must be an idiot! I have spent hours trying to configure my Airport express X2 for driving my stereo system as a remote node. The only way I can get it to work is to have two separate base stations and in that case, I can't get web connectivity at the same time. I have reviewed some of the existing discussions on this subject, but I don't understand the WDS vs. client distinction or how to set this right. Please help!

    Unless you need to extend your wireless network or need to use a remote ethernet port there is no need to use WDS.
    Reset both Airport Express (AX) units.
    Configure the first AX as a wireless router connected to your internet connection.
    Using the Airport Assistant, configure the second AX to join your existing wireless network (this is client mode)
    You wouldn't need to extend your existing wireless network (WDS Mode) just to stream iTunes to your stereo.
    Hope that helps.

  • Time Capsule-AirPort Express-WDS not working together

    According to everything I've read here, I've configured this properly, but it doesn't seem to be working. If anyone can help me troubleshoot this I would greatly appreciate it.
    I have a new Time Capsule acting as my main wireless base station; it has a manually-configured static IP address, is plugged into my Verizon FIOS router, and is set to distribute IP addresses over wireless using DHCP. I have it set to run a 5 GHz network in addition to the regular 2.4 GHz network. I have an older AirPort Express that I want to use to extend the range of the 2.4 GHz network (the Express can only do 802.11b/g, not 802.11n), in part because we have some older devices in the house that I don't want to slow down the 802.11n network, and in part because the 802.11b/g signal doesn't reach all parts of the house very strongly. So I told the Time Capsule to make its network extendable, told the AirPort Express to participate in a WDS network as a WDS relay, and entered the MAC address of the Time Capsule's 2.4GHz network as the WDS main. Result: flashing amber light on the AirPort Express, which no longer shows up in the AirPort Utility; I had to do a hard reset in order to get the Express back (and then it had to be reconfigured again, of course). At the moment I have it just joining my wireless network, and that works -- green light -- but of course doesn't allow the Express to extend the range of the wireless network.
    What am I doing wrong here?

    Before there was dual band, we always told users that if they used WDS, the entire network would revert to "g", even if the Time Capsule, AirPort Express, etc were capable of "n" performance.
    Your findings seem to confirm that this happens with a dual band as well.
    I think it's well worth it to get the AirPort Express 802.11n. Then you can reconfigure the Time Capsule back to "Create a wireless network" and check the box to "Allow this network to be extended"
    The Express"n" would then be configured to "Extend a wireless network". I use this setup and would highly recommend it. There may be a slight bandwidth loss due to overhead, but the performance is light years ahead of WDS.
    If you are using the same network name for both bands on the Time Capsule, then I believe by default the Express will extend the 2.4 GHz "n", "g" and "b" band. This makes sense for most users since 5 GHz signals do not travel well over distance or penetrate obstructions well.
    IF...you want to extend the 5 GHz band, the only way that I know how to do this is click Wireless Network Options on the wireless setup page for the Time Capsule and enable the option to assign a different name for the 5 GHz network.
    Then you will have to configure the Express to extend this specific 5 GHz network. I never had much luck extending 5 GHz, and I wanted my iPhone to be able to use the network across the house, so I went with the simpler one network name for both bands and extended the 2.4 GHz network.
    If you have a "g" device joining the extended network, it may tend to slow the "n" devices down slightly...when the "g" device is active, but it won't drag everything down to "g" levels. When the "g" device is not active, "n" devices will run at "n" speeds.
    BTW, the ethernet port on the AirPort Express is active when you configure it to "extend a wireless network". This can come in handy for hooking up DVD players, etc that need an internet connection for firmware updates and extra features.
    Follow up....I tried a very quick reconfiguration of my dual band AirPort Extreme (same router that the Time Capsule users) and AirPort Express using the WDS arrangement and everything did indeed drop way down in speed and performance.
    Post back if you have questions. Happy to help.

  • 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.

  • Can't get AirPort Express to join LINKSYS WRT54G wireless network

    After several unsuccessful attempts to follow Tesserax's advice to get my AX to join my LINKSYS wireless network, I depressed the reset button, plugged the AX in, and waited for the flashing reset confirmation. Reconfiguring from scratch to join my WPA network, all seemed to go well. After selecting to Update, the following window pops up:
    <The settings for this AirPort Express have been successfully updated. You can close this window or wait for this AirPort Express to restart.
    Waiting for the AirPort Express to restart…>
    After a couple of minutes the following window appears:
    <AirPort Utility was unable to find your AirPort Wireless device after restarting.
    The settings for this AirPort wireless device have been successfully updated, but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the AirPort wireless device. You may need to select your network from the Wi-Fi menu and try again.>
    At this point, AirPort Utility will no longer recognize the AX, no matter how many times I rescan. The only way I can get it to be recognized is to once again do a hard factory reset. I then go through the whole set up process again, only to end up in the same dead end. I'm thinking that there has to be some sort of problem between the AX and the LINKSYS. Prior to the above activity, I was able to send iTunes to the AX just fine. I just wasn't able to surf the Internet at the same time.
    Any ideas you might have will be appreciated.

    Thomas - I have a very similar problem - I've got a Wi-Fi/ADSL2 router supplied by my telecom company AirTel (the router's called 'beetel', 802.11g model) and I'm having problems extending it with Airport Express - the Airport Utility doesn't seem to be able to detect the AE after restart. The only difference with your case seems that you have a Linksys piece.
    Here's what I tried:
    1. Had my Wi-Fi network up & running with the beetel router (network name: PASTA)
    2. Booted Airport Express
    3. Launched Airport Utility 5.5.3 from Windows 7, detected the Airport Express, chose Manual Setup and went for option "Extend my Wireless Network" and chose PASTA and specified its password
    3. Airport Utility restarted the device after saving changes, and Aiport Express went invisible.
    That sounds like the same problem you had.
    Just to cross check, I tried connecting an Ethernet cable between AE and the beetel router and went for option "Create Wireless Network" and that was a breeze.
    @Tesserax - can Airport Express smoothly extend only an Airport Extreme WiFi network? Is there anything I can do to extend my current Wi-Fi network from this router?
    Thanks for your notes & time

  • Macbook won't talk to Airport Express WDS remote

    I have two new Airport Express 802.11n access points, and an Airport Extreme (802.11n but not the latest model). One of the Expresses is connected to my DSL modem (wired ethernet) and is the 'main' WDS access point. The Extreme is acting as a relay, and the other Express is the WDS remote.
    Here's the problem - the WDS network works fine with my Macbook Pro (model ID MacBookPro3,1) and I can use the remote WDS with no problems, but I have an early 2008 Macbook which simply will not connect to the remote express - but it has no problems connecting to either the Extreme or the WDS main Express.
    The Airtport card type in my MBPro is "AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87)", the card type in the Macbook is "Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.26)". Both laptops can see the same physical networks, and I don't think channel interference is a problem, because I'm on channel 6 and all the other networks I can see are on either channel 1 or 11.
    I've tried swapping the two expresses, and that makes no difference. I've also checked that the Macbook can connect to both expresses when they are acting as the WDS main AP - so it appears to be when the express is acting as a remote (via the relay) that I get a problem.
    Has anyone seen a similar problem? This configuration sould work, right?

    I found a way to get a wireless configuration that serves my purposes. I'd tried swapping the expresses around to see if that helped, and reached a point where my extreme wouldn't extend any network I set up on an express, so I did a reset to factory defaults on both.
    Once I'd done that, I created an 802.11n (5GHz) network using one express, and extended it using the extreme. Having done that, both my Macbook and Macbook Pro could pick up the extreme's extended network in the room where I had the second express, so that solved one problem (previously the Pro could see the extreme's network, but the Macbook couldn't - odd, since this is a polycarbonate bodied Macbook, and they normally have better wireless reception).
    The only remaining issue was connecting some wired ethernet devices, which is the other reason I wanted the second express functioning as a WDS remote. Turns out that if you just want the express to bridge a wired network to a wireless one, you can do that by having the express join as a client, and enabling wired clients as well - I think that may be new to the 802.11n expresses.
    Everything works perfectly now - both laptops have internet connectivity via the extreme and express; the wired devices are bridged onto the wireless network so they can talk to other machines elsewhere in the house, and the setup is much simpler because I'm not having to mess around with WDS details. I'm also hoping that an extended network like this loses less bandwidth than a main/relay/remote setup.
    I never did get to the bottom of why the Macbook couldn't talk to the WDS remote - possible a factory reset on all three would also have resolved the problem, but I guess I'll never know now.

  • Apple airport express and cisco linksys e-3000

    How does one get the linksys e 3000 router to recognize an airport express station?

    The "n" version of the AirPort Express is capable of operating on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz radio band ... but not simultaneously. That would mean it will attempt to connect to your E3000 on one or the other of its radios. This will typically be the 5 GHz radio if the AX is in the same room and the 2.4 GHz radio if it is farther away.
    Note: The AirPorts do NOT support wide-channel (40 MHz) mode in the 2.4 GHz band. If your E3000 is configured for this; this may be the problem with it connecting.

  • A-link RR24ap i+ together with Airport Express (WDS)

    I haven´t found here any discuss about a-link. Cause I have spent a lot of time finding solution my problem I´ve started to think whether it´s not possible to join Airport Express to rr24api+?
    First of all I´m interested to hear if anybody have managed to get these working!
    Perhaps I´ll stop trying if somebody tells me that this is impossible work ...
    Message was edited by: nucInt

    I think i was happy too soon finding my a-link working with AE! The combination works only without encryption! When protection ON connection works but breaks down several times in a minute!
    Perhaps I have to give up and look after some better router...
    Do you think would Linksys WAG160N work with AE?
    I would like to update my router and wlan-card to 802.11n...

  • Airport Express doesn' see Linksys Network

    I have 5 AX units. All are the newer "n" flavor. Three are connected by ethernet and 2 by wifi. The two that are wifi are set up to join a wireless network.
    A wifi G-only network using WPA2 personal is created by a Linksys WRT54GS (version 6, with up to date firmware)
    My problem is that none of the wireless AX units see the Linksys wireless network. My Apple TV (v2) which is located next to the aiport express does , however, see the Lihksys networks with no problem. I have done sort of a work around by having one of the AX units create a wirelss network, but its not optimally situated and the signal is not particularly strong (large house).

    Bob -- thank you for your interest
    Should also have noted that all the express devices are running firmware 7.6.1
    I open the Airport utility, double click on the AX unit that I want to setup. This brings up the configuration screen. I click on the "Wireless" tab. "Wireless mode" shows that it is already setup to join a wireless network. When I click on the "Wireless Network name" it shows the "n" network created by another AX device, a "g" network in my basement, an unknown network, and even my neighbors network across the street. But not the G network created by my Linksys.
    I have similar issues with the other wireless AX device, same problem. And this one is ten feet from the Linksys with only an interior wall separating the two devices.
    Both wireless AX units do connect wirelessly, just not to the linksys network that has the strongest signal in that part of the house.
    I'll also note that there is only one router in the network handing out IP addresses, an Actiontec unit in the basement. The Linksys is set up at a fixed IP of 192.168.1.254 with DHCP disabled so that it is acting as a switch and wireless access point and not a router (this is how Linksys says to configure it for this purpose). Again, other devices connect fine and the network is solid. At times there have have been upwards of 30 devices connected to the network with no problems (most via ethernet)
    As I noted, this AX unit is next to an Apple TV. The apple TV sees the Linksys network with no problem. Other devices in the house (ipad, laptop) connect to the linksys with no problem.
    Thanks again, Carlos
