Airport Express - will this work?

I want to use an Airport Express to provide extended wireless coverage, without using WDS. I know the AE supports ethernet bridging (proxySTA).
Setup:
- have main wireless router connected to cable modem for internet, and 2 PCs.
- have additional wireless router to be used as AP
Is this possible:
- install AE set for proxySTA to join main wireless router network in different room, but within range of main wireless router.
- connect 2nd wireless router to AE via ethernet, having IP address within the same subnet as main router but outside DHCP address from the main router.
- set same SSID, WPA2 password, and disable DHCP on 2nd wireless router
SO, is the possible?

connect 2nd wireless router to AE via ethernet, having IP address within the same subnet as main router but outside DHCP address from the main router.
Yes, this can be done by either configuring this AirPort Express Base Station (AX) with a manually assigned IP address or using the DHCP Reservation feature on the main router (assuming it is another Apple router)
set same SSID, WPA2 password, and disable DHCP on 2nd wireless router
Yes, this can be done by reconfiguring this AX as a bridge.

Need Help...my wireless airport express will not work with my update of snow leopard

after installing snow leopard on my macbook pro my airport express will not work...or will connect only for a minute at a time.

If you mean by "airport express" the square airport router you plug in and has a usb port then run the Airport Utility located in your Utilities folder to set it up again. If AU doesn't see it you may need to do a re-set of the AE.

Linksys WAG120N and Airport Express - Does this work ??

Hi,
I just replaced my Linksys WAG54G by a WAG120N modem-router.
I still have a problem with my Airport Express.
Everything was working fine with the WAG54G but since I'm using the WAG120N I always got the same problem.
After switching OFF-ON the Airport Express, I can only see it during a few minutes in the Airport Utility. After this, it disappears (until next reboot, etc.).
I've used the same setup/config for my modem-router (compared to the old one).
Firmware has been upgraded.
I've completely re-configured the Airport Express.
I've re-installed the Airport Utility.
I've also tried to use other channels, etc.
When I'm using the WAG54G, I do not have any problem !
Is this WAG120N finally compatible with the Airport Express ?
I'm really needing some help (before bringing it back to the vendor and selecting another model) !
Please, it's urgent !
Thks

Yes it is visible during a few minutes when I switch it off-on.
I can then access the config and change some parameters but after those +/- 5 minutes it disappear from the Airport List.
... and this is also true when you have the AX directly connected to your iMac via Ethernet?
I just want to be sure that the AX itself is not potentially fault.
When joined to another wireless network, of course, it will be dependent on the "stability" of that network. One other thing that might be possible is if you have the new Linksys configured for any special type of mode. One that I can think of is called "burst" mode. Another is wide-channel mode for the 2.4 GHz band. Neither of these are supported by the AX and may be a reason that it keeps dropping the connection.
Finally, were both routers purchased in your country and are made to operate there? I've seen this problem before when, for example, an individual buys a router, let's say, to be used in Japan and tries to operate it in Europe.

After Leopard install, all three Airport Expresses will not work...

I have three Airport Express' that worked completely fine before I installed Leopard. After the installation, the Airport Utility will not even detect them. No matter how many times I try to reset them, unplug them, or yell at them, they will not be recognized by the Airport Utility. Currently, all three units are completely useless and just flashing amber. I have tried to look through the topics to see if anyone else has the same issue but, I could not find one that seem to be a duplicate of this problem.
Please help.
-F.

My guess - are you trying to connect to them wirelessly?
If so, the only solution I found was to hook them up with an ethernet cable to the Mac.
Airport then finds them OK and you can upgrade the firmware / software to latest versions.
Hope that helps

USB printer on my Airport Express will not work..

Hi, using the newest Airport Express to extend my network. Tried now to use it via USB to get a network printer. The printer (Canon Pixma MP 970) shows on my list for printers to add. When to install my Mac asks me to install the newest software, there is no possibility to say no and just continue. After a yes I get allways the same message, it is not possible to download the newest software from the server. There after the dialoge quiets and I cannot add the printer. Trying solving the problem manually by downloading the newest software from Canon I just get a note that I am not allowed to download from this page new software in order to security policy of Apple. I have to do it from the app store. Here I do not find a newer driver for my printer....what to do? My IOS X is 10.8.2.

See if this helps you.

Hi, The Airport Express does not work with iOS 7.0.4, I appreciate your help to resolve this event. Thank you,

Hi, The Airport Express does not work with iOS 7.0.4, I appreciate your help to resolve this event. Thank you,

Please locate the model number of the AirPort Express and post back that information.
The model number is located on the side of the AirPort Express. It begins with an "A" followed by four numbers.
We are not sure what you mean by "does not work". Does this mean that the AirPort Express worked at one time and has just recently stopped working?
Have you installed a newer operating system on your iOS device recently?
Or, is this a new AirPort Express that you are trying to configure for the first time?
If yes, what service will the AirPort Express perform on your network?
Please remember that we cannot see your network, so we only know as much about your problem as you can tell us.

Want to buy airport extreme, am using mountain lion. Will this work ? also, my house is 5,500 square feet all on one floor. Do I need an extender and which one?

want to buy airport extreme, am using mountain lion. Will this work ? also, my house is 5,500 square feet all on one floor. Do I need an extender and which one?

... If I purchase an express to extend is it hard to configure as an extender?
No, AirPort Utility prompts you with step-by-step questions and makes configuration simple.
The Express and Extreme have the same transmitter power specifications, so I suggest the $99 Express as an extender, should you need one. Beware that you cannot add a second Express to wirelessly extend the network any further - as the following excerpt from Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations explains:
Extended network range considerations
In the above example the primary Wi-Fi base station ➊ is out of wireless range of the extended Wi-Fi base station ➋, therefore the extended Wi-Fi base station cannot join or extend the wireless network. The extended Wi-Fi base station must be moved to a location that is within Wi-Fi range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.
Important Note
If another extended Wi-Fi base station ➋ is placed between the primary Wi-Fi base station ➊ and the extended Wi-Fi base station ➌, the extended Wi-Fi base station ➌ will not allow clients to join it. All extended Wi-Fi base stations must be in direct range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.
A "roaming network" that Bob described, in which all base stations are connected with an Ethernet cable, is by far the best alternative.

Someone gave me a airport express router. it works great with my macbook but when i try to connect to my iphone it says it can't be set up by "this software". Where can I download whatever software my iphone needs so I can get wifi?

Per chance is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) an 802.11g model? If so, that is why you are getting this error message from the AirPort Utility running on the iPad. You would need to use either version 5.6 or 5.6.1 running on a Mac or a PC to administer this base station.

I am setting up a used Airport Express. It works fine with my computer for internet connection. Now I am setting it up for Tivo connection. They ask for a Gateway router number. Where can I find this number?

I want to enable my Tivo box to connect to this wifi net, Tivo asks for a Gateway Router number. Where can I find this number?

The "gateway" number for your AirPort Express, by default, is 10.0.1.1

Mac Mini, Sonology NAS, And Apple AirPort wireless router, Will this work?

[IMG]http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL256/13533814/24272354/405877013.jpg[/IMG]
OK, so my plan is to create a home movie server for the living room and the kitchen as illustrated in the diagram. I Plan on using a mac mini (current generation) as the liaison between the NAS and the receiver. I will install XMBC on the mac mini’s as a movie organizing software. I will use the iPad app to control and select movies from the system. This setup will repeat in the kitchen with the exception that I will connect the mac mini directly to the television in which the audio out will go to a jack which connects to the in ceiling speakers. Will this work? Are there any other suggestions that anyone has to make it more streamline? I also assume that there can be simultaneous movies being watched in both rooms via the NAS. Thanks for all of your comments and help

in theory, yes, but you work network admin may have locked the network preventing this from working

Airport Express has stopped working, no IP-adress

Airport Express has stopped working. In my Airport tool, I can't see the Airport Express anymore.
Under network, I can still see the Airport, but it says, that it cant find an IP-Adress.
It can see my Airport Extreme.
Thanks in advance.

Try resetting the Airport Express.
If you don't see it in Airport Utility in your Utilities folder, then you would need to reset it...
Do you have it set to "Join" the Extreme network? or something else?
See this Apple doc on how to reset your base station.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728
Also, you would not see it in your Network preference panel in the System Preferences.
You will only see the main network which is your Airport Extreme....
Unless you have 2 separate networks....
How many do you have?

AirPort Express won't work with 7.0.2

Everything was fine til I bought a new Shuffle. It made me upgrade to 7.0.2, now my Airport Express won't work. I have firmware 6.2 and just uploaded all of the newest updates from apple.com for it (AX). The security is off on my network and the AX is connected with a green light. Still no option to choose my home stereo which is hooked up to the AX. HELP! I have spent all day trying to get this to work!!!!

My Airport Express when it is setup to extend my network while plugged into Ethernet will Create a network under settings
This is the correct setting to "extend" the network using an Ethernet connection. Technically, this is called a "roaming" network.
If I change this to Extend A Network it doesn't work properly.
This is because "Extend a wireless network" is used only when AirPort devices communicate with each other using wireless only......not Ethernet.
It would help if Apple used settings like "Extend a network using Ethernet" and "Extend a network using wireless only".....but they don't.
The AirPort Extreme will need to be configured as the main router if you want it to provide a Guest Network. It cannot do this if it is configured in Bridge Mode.

Airport Express doesn't work with Mountain Lion

I installed Mountain Lion and now my airport express doesn't work as a way to play itunes through another set of speakers.
Not only that... but the airport utility doesn't support my airport express.
Time Machine doesn't work either....
I want my snow leopard back!!!
Any insight????

I understand that Airport Utility 5.6 must be used to configure it... but that being an older version... I can't install it with the new OS... RRRGGGGGHHHH Mountain Lion!!! I'm not liking the switch at all. I've spent more time fixing problems with this ... how can I go back???

If I run a50 metre Ian cable to my workshop and plug in an Airport express will it create a wi fi signal for my ipad to pick up

If I run a 50 metre LAN line to my workshop and plug in an airport express will I get wifi to my ipad

The max length is 100m http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable So it should work.
 Cheers, Tom
