Airport Express with Orange LiveBox and Wireless Music

I just purchased an Airport Express with the intention of using it for streaming music wirelessly to play through my AV receiver.
I managed to get this working without any problems.
However I use an orange Livebox (wireless modem) for my Internet connection.
Is it possible to use Airport for both as when I set up the Airpor Express it started its own network thus if I wanted to use it I had to switch from my Internet connection.
My Livebox and AV Receiver are in different rooms if that makes any difference.
Cheers

Configure your AirPort Express (AX) following the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

  • AirPort Express with Air Tunes and wired router

    Do any of you using AirPort Express with Air Tunes as a base station have it connected to a wired router, just as an added precaution?
    thanks,
    --h

    As far as I know, AirPort Express w/tunes has a firewall, but a given router may offer more protection options than just a firewall. I'm wondering about security on the wired side of the connection, not the wireless side.

  • How can i use an airport base station and multiple airport expresses with U-verse and still use wireless tv boxes?

    I just got uverse, and when I put my Airport Base Station in Bridge mode I lose access to the 4 airport express stations I have. Can anyone tell me how to turn off the u-verse wireless, set up a network with all the apple stations and still have wireless u-verse tv boxes work? Thanks!

    Can I relocate the airport base station to downstairs and connect it to the Sawtooth there for receiving wireless from the Verizon router and broadcast further to its wireless network?
    Sorry but no the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will not wirelessly connect to the network provided by the Verizon FiOS router.
    What you could do is get another AEBS, an AX, or a Time Capsule and place that downstairs. Then use that device to wirelessly connect to the wireless network provided by your current AEBS. If your current AEBS is not 802.11n capable then you would need to use WDS to make this happen. One bad thing about WDS is that each WDS link cuts your affective wireless bandwidth in half.

  • Airport Express to extend network and stream music at the same time?

    Hi. I have an Airport Extreme base station (primary wireless access point) and an Airport Express. Currently I connect my Hi-Fi to the Airport Express and stream music from iTunes, but I would like to also make use of its Ethernet port to connect other wired devices to my network. Is this possible; can it be used for both simultaneously? I've tried various configurations but not managed to achieve this.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    If you have an AirPort Extreme(n) and AirPort Express(n), the ethernet port for the Express will be active if you "Enable ethernet client" during setup using AirPort Utility.
    It sounds like you have either the "g" version of the Extreme or Express or both. Both devices must be "n" capable to use this option. If you don't see an option on the Wireless setup page of the Express to "Enable ethernet client", you have a "g" Express and this function is not available with your device.

  • Airport Express with D-link 624+ wireless router.

    Have got a D-link wireless router connected. Wireless internet works fine on its own, but I cannot connect the apple airport express to the wireless internet, so I have to keep switching connections and am unable to use the internet at the same time as streming music to my stereo....what am I doing wrong?
    please help me. I thought I knew computer gear, but was SOOOO wrong.

    I had a DL 624+ (and have since abandoned it). I had a lot of instability problems with it, which seemed to be related to the Dlink DHCP implementation. I was watching the log on the router, and I was seeing the dlink constantly re-issuing DHCP addresses to the macs on the network - it would renew the addresses twice a minute.
    I had seen some posts which suggested that there were problems with either long DHPC client names, or client names which had non-alphanumeric characters in them. (Note if your machine name has spaces, this could happen.)
    So, you might want to try:
    -Assigning static IP addresses and see if the problem goes away
    -checking your DHCP client names to make sure they are between 8-12 characters
    Hope this helps!

  • Airport Express with a MBP and a Mini Mac

    Hey Apple Community.
    Im think about buying a Mini Mac, witch i would use as my main entertainmentcenter, connected to my livingroom TV and my TV in the kitchen.
    But i have some questions before buying a Mini Mac.
    1# Its it possible to use AirPlay from the Mini Mac on the same Airport Express, that i use with my MBP to hear music over AirPlay....? And if both of them are turned on, will i be able to control iTunes from both of them. Meaning being able to fx. change music number from one to another number, if i move from the office, where i have my MBP to the kitchen, where i would like to have a screen, wireless mouse and wireless keyboard, connected to the Mini Mac.
    2# Is it possible to share the same iTunes libary on both my MBP and the Mini Mac...?
    3# Is it possible to synch data between the two, so they are identical in setup and in data..?
    "so when i change something on either my MBP or the Mini, it also changes on the other one, through the wireless connection"
    So all in all, i would like my MBP and the Mini to act as one "unite", when the both of them are turned on.
    Is this possible...?
    I would really apreciate any help i could get on this issue.

    Thanks Gino, that really helped.
    The main thing for me is to be able to control iTunes from both Macs, like starting a music number on my MBP in the office and then switching number in the kitchen with the Mini. I can always manually move the media files from one to the other Mac, when thats nessesary.
    And since the Mini mainly will be used for entatainment, then it issint very importent that they are identical in every way.......just thought i could be cool if it was possible.
    This: "You can however use an iCloud account to sync data such as calendar and address book and a mail account using the IMAP protocol will also be synced across both computers. iCloud mail accounts use IMAP as well as Google Mail and some others."
    Is really great news, since i then will be able to acces these things in the livingroom as well, not having to open up my MBP in the office every time i want to check a mail or calender thingy.
    "The only other way to get them to act close to being one computer is to install a Mac OS X server and use a network Home folder. That way both computers access the same home folder that is stored on the server and changes performed on one computer will be reflected on the other when the other logs in."
    When you say "install a Mac OS X server" do you mean getting that Mac Mini with Lion Server..? Or do you mean i shall install a server program on the "normal" Mini, so it acts as a server...?
    If its the last one.....will i then be able to use it as a "normal" Mac, surfing and stuff...while it acts like a server..?
    Again...really, really apriciate your help.

    Hi....I have just bought a netbook and my wireless connection that I use at home is via an airport express that works brilliantly on my 2 macs however with the new netbook the connection is intermittent even though it always says its connected to my wireless network.
    I am completely hopeless with pc's and just needed a netbook for occasional use but wish I new why sometimes the internet works on it on the airport network and othertimes it doesnt. I have removed all firewalls and still have the same problem.
    Anyone know a solution or what may be happening as I am at a loss as to why it intermittenty works even though it always says the connection is excellent.
    The macs work just fine!!
    thanks in advance

  • Can I use Airport Express with Comcast router and Apple TV?

    I want to connect my iPod Touch (version 8.1.2) to a home stereo wirelessly.  I am considering getting an AE Base Station.  I have a Mac mini running OSX 10.9.5 connected wirelessly using a Comcast router.  I also have an Apple TV, which I have not yet connected to my TV.  Here are some questions.
    Are there any problems with doing this.  In particular, can I continue to use the Comcast router?
    Also, I have seen some comments saying that the cable modem slowed down when AE was added.  Is that true?  Thanks,
    Owen

    The stereo doesn't have wireless (or bluetooth).
    My understanding is that the iPod Touch has a built-in airplay transmitter.
    If so,  connecting the AE Base Station to my stereo would allow sending music from my iPod to my stereo.
    Is that correct?  Thanks.

  • My Apple Airport Express is blinking Amber and I cannot find it with the utility

    My Apple Airport Express is blinking Amber and I cannot find it with the utility

    Hi, had the same problem -
    1) Connected AE to Time Capsule with Ethernet cable - Configured it  - All worked fine
    2) Removed Ethernet cable between AE og TC - All worked fine
    3) Unpluged my AE from the socket outlet (power off) and pluged it inn where its supposed to be (2m from my Time Capsule)
    4) Now Airport Utility do not find me AE (after all i reconfigured through the Etheret calbe) ????
    A) Seems that Airport Utility are not able to "see" any wireless AE, only configurable by Ethernet Cable.
    B) Seems that AE are not able to reconnect to configured network after a power loss.
    This is a little bit ****** - older airport utility had none of the problems (A and B)

  • I have 3 airport express units, an Ipod and a PC.  I used the PC to set up an airTunes and the AirUtility can see all three of the airexpresses.  The Ipod displays all of the airexpresses and I can pick any one to stream music to. PC won't - any ideas?

    I have 3 airport express units, an Ipod and a Windows 7 PC.  I used the PC to set up an iTunes/airTunes and the AirUtility can see all three of the expresses.  The Ipod displays all of the expresses and I can pick any one to stream music to. The PC won't - any ideas? AirUtility tells me the 7.5.2 version of the firmware is the latest for the expresses and ITunes is also reporting that there are no upgrades available.  I get an error code -15000 when I try to connect from the PC to one of the expresses.

    How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
    To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    Launch the AirPort Utility.
    Select the AX.
    If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
    Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
    Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
    Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
    Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
    Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
    Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

  • Airport express with Snow and wired Mac Mini?

    Hi,
    I am trying to help my parents set up airport express.
    They have a Mac Mini with no wireless card connected by ethernet to a Snow base station. That is fine, and computer sees the base station in Airport Admin. However, when I try to go to Airport Setup Assistant to set up the Airport Express, I get a message saying that the computer doesn't have a wireless card (which I know) and doesn't allow me to continue.
    Is there a known thing where you can't use Airport Express with a Snow base station without a wireless card? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Nevermind, I guess I answered my own question.

  • Airport express with wireless NetGear router

    Hello everyone...
    I received an Airport Express for Christmas. I was immediately able to set up a wireless network at the home I was visiting by plugging in the ethernet cable and a few simple set up steps. After bringing it home, I was able to set it up with the stereo in my bedroom to run iTunes throughout my apartment.
    The problem is that I can't get the Airport Express to work through the wireless network already set up in my apartment. If I do the iTunes thing, I can't connect to the internet while it's playing--so it seems to be creating its own network but not connecting with the current wireless internet available in the room.
    I did the full reset (unplugged the airport, pushed and held the reset button while plugging it back in until it flashed green three times). From reading other posts I understand that I do have a wireless router capable of handling the WDS (WGR614 v6) but for some reason I am unable to set it up!
    Someone please help so i can stream iTunes and surf the net at the same time!

    thanks for the link, however my router does not show up in the airport utility. I am not using an airport base station, I am using a Netgear as stated in the original question.
    +> 1. Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.+
    This I was able to do, obviously...
    +>Open AirPort Utility. Select the main base station...+
    There are no stations listed and I have tried clicking "other" and entering the IP address I believe my router is using, but to no avail.

  • Playing music via airport express with bair tunes???

    hi all im thinking of buying an airport express with air tunes. what i would like to know is can i link the airport directly to speakers and play music using my iphone and not have to have my computer on??? or do i have to run it through the itunes on my laptop?? ps i do have the remote app on my iphone any help greatly appreciated. thank u

    It runs through itunes on your computer. You use the remote app to control through itunes. Itunes needs to be running. Works great, I use it all the time.

  • How do I re-configure an old airport express to be used to stream music wirelessly to my receiver?

    I am trying to reconfigure an old airport express to stream music to my stereo.  I plugged it in and reset it using the button on the AE.  Upon restart I renamed it and created a new wi-fi network.  It connected to my existing wireless signal and had the green light on the AE illuminated.  After turning selecting a song to play off my iPhone 5S there wasn't any option the select the network I created.  Any ideas? 

    I plugged it in and reset it using the button on the AE.
    Plugged into "what"?  I take it that you mean that you plugged the AirPort Express into the Ethernet port on your router using an Ethernet cable, since that would be the only way that it could create a new network
    I renamed it and created a new wi-fi network
    You are telling us here that you created another different wireless network than your existing network, so you have two wireless networks now.
    It connected to my existing wireless signal
    The AirPort Express cannot do this if it is creating another network, as you say it is. Or, when you say "it", maybe you are referring to another device?  In that case, please clarify on what "it" might be.
    After turning selecting a song to play off my iPhone 5S there wasn't any option the select the network I created
    You must first connect the iPhone to the new wireless network that you created, and enter the password to connect......before....you can go into iTunes and select a song to play.
    Unless you really do need two wireless networks, it would make more sense to configure the AirPort Express to "join" your existing wireless network. Then, everything is on the same network.  Did you consider that option?
