AirPort Express won't connect to existing wireless network

I just purchased the current gen AirPort Express and it won't connect to my existing wireless network. My current wireless network is on a D-Link DIR-827 and it operates on both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz bands. My current gen Apple TV is connected to the D-Link wirelessly and it works fine. Basically all I want to do is have a pair of speakers attached to the AIrPort Express and stream music to it via AirPlay from all my devices. When I use the AirPort Utility, I keep getting the error that 'it's setup to join an existing wireless network but it can't find it.'  The light flashes amber and I can't connect to it. Right now I've setup a new wireless network for my AirPort Express but ideally I would like to have it join my existing network so all my devices can stream to it without having to connect to it seperately.
Thanks,
Ata

Hi Ata,
...Right now I've setup a new wireless network for my AirPort Express but ideally I would like to have it join my existing network
If you already configured your AirPort to create a separate wireless network, it would be best to reconfigure it to "join" your existing network by starting over with a "hard reset": Press and hold the reset button and keep it depressed, continuously, about five to ten seconds, long enough for it to flash amber. Then, it will glow amber steadily for about a minute while it starts up, then it will flash amber slowly indicating it needs to be configured.
It will then appear in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu like this:
Select it. AirPort Utility will load and walk you through its configuration.
Be sure to select the option to "join" your existing network, and not create a new one. In that configuration, it will serve as a device for music streaming only, and cannot serve a wireless access point. For that, your router would need to be a genuine Apple AirPort Base Station.

  • Airport Express won't join my existing wireless network...

    I have Broadband in my house. I have a wireless modem also. I have spent hours trying to have Airport Express join the network so I can use the music streaming feature, but I have so far not been successful. I have seen a lot of references to it being very easy and straightforward to set up with it doing most of the work itself. As in, plug in AE to a power socket, open Airport Utility and follow the instructions... It doesn't appear to be that simple, not by a long shot. Can anyone outline how this can be done in simple steps? All of the online steps I have tried do not work, with many of them referencing aspects of the Airport Utility GUI that don't seem to exist...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    For the record, I DO NOT want to replace my existing wireless router, i just want AE to join the network...
    Thanks...
    Ronan

    I have the same problem - the AE wont join my Draytek 2600 wireless network. I can stream music wired, but it refuses to join the wireless network. I have tried WEP, WPA, WPA 2 etc. Always get amber flashing light. Ive spent about 5 hours solid on it so far, and I'm a networking expert.
    No other device on the planet has problems connecting to my wireless. currently I have:
    1) Belkin wireless Skype phon (no problems)
    2) SOHO wireless IP camera (no problems)
    3) Intel Macbook pro (no problems)
    4) G4 Macbook (no problems)
    5) Dell D600 XP notebook (no problems)
    Try to connect the AE? No chance. Its just broken.
    I have tried every conceiveable manual setting on the device also.
    If I manually set the ip (outside the DHCP range, but within the subnet), subnet, DNS sever, domain etc, I get a GREEN light, but nothing can communicate with it. The utility cant see it, and itunes cant see it.
    The real problem is there is no way to know if the problem is with DHCP or the wireless. Does green light mean it has a wireless connection, or it has a valid IP?
    Interestingly, if I start it with a wired connection, get a green light, then stream music to it, then pull out the wire, the green light stays, and music players for about another minute (presumably wirelessly, but who knows?) before the music stops and the device (replete with green light), becomes dead to the network.
    APPLE desperately needs to sort this out. Its junk.

  • Can my older Airport Express 802.11g join an existing wireless network

    I have a Airport Express 802.11g firmware version 6.3 . Using the most recent Airport Express Utility I can set it up as a base station on its own independent network but I cannot join it to my existing home wireless network. As I go through the wizard (or manual setup) It just does not detect/display any existing wireless networks. I have plenty of mobile devices in the  house that can see the wireless network...and next doors network.
    So, it begs the question ... is an 802.11g unit actually capable of joining another network or is this capability available on later models only. A search of apple support and the wider internet for "Airport Express 802.11g capabilities" yeilds a blizzard or useless info.
    Thank you

    Sorry, I cannot help on Windows since I do not have a Windows 7 machine here to test. I have used XP in the past and AirPort Utility appears to be virtually the same in Windows as a Mac. I assume that this is the case for AirPort Utility 5.6.1, and it should be able to configure the Express.
    The older Express will join most wireless networks if the following conditions are met:
    1) The Express is functioning correctly.
    2)  The wireless network name is 12 characters or less and it contains only normal letters and numbers. Avoiding blank spaces in the wireless network name will help improve the chances of the Express joining the network as well.
    3)  The wireless router is broadcasting a compatible signal that would allow the "g" Express to connect. If your network is broadcasting a wireless "n only" signal, the Express cannot connect to this network.
    4)  The wireless security on the network is set to a WPA compatible setting. That is because the older Express has difficulty joining 3rd party wireless networks using WPA2 Personal or WPA2-PSK-AES encryption. In other words, if your network is now using WPA2 Personal or WPA2-PSK-AES settings, the "g" Express will probably not be able to join the network.
    5)  If you are using MAC Address Filtering on your network, the MAC address of the Express will need to be included in your settings.
    6)  The wireless network password uses the same guidelines that appear in 2) above
    The items noted above will provide the Express with the best chance of joining your network.  Plan to use the Manual Setup option in AirPort Utility and be prepared to use the Option or Alt keys on the PC if needed.
    If you are looking for a guarantee of success in advance for this task, I cannot provide that and you should wait for another user to post who might be able to meet your requirements in that regard.

  • Airport Express can't connect back to wireless network

    Here's the situation. There was a power glitch in our neighborhood that knocked our linksys wireless router offline. We have since gotten that back up and running. Meanwhile, our 2 Airport Express (used for iTunes only) went yellow and wouldn't rejoin the network with a hard reset. I have been trying to do the factory reset. The lights do their 4 green blinks but when the Airport Utility (not Airport Setup Utility - is that gone?) tries to rejoin the expresses to our wireless network we get the following error:
    AirPort Utility was unable to find your base station after restarting.
    The settings for this base station have been successfully updated, but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the base station. You may need to select your network from the AirPort menu and try again.
    I am confused. We are using WPA2 personal encryption and I have included that info in the Airport Utility so it's not a password problem. I am sure I'm missing something completely stupid.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Airport Card won't connect after changing wireless networks

    Hello,
    I have a black macbook with an internal airport extreme wireless card. I use the computer at school and at home. Both school and home have functioning wireless networks in which other computers are connected and running with no problems.
    When I open my laptop and wake it from sleep after changing from school to home or visa versa the airport card often will not recognize the wireless network. On many occations, even when the network is recognized it will not automatically connect to it (I have it set to do). A message saying "There was an error joining the network" comes up. The only resolution has been to reset the computer (which doesn't always work) or reset the PRAM.
    Sometimes after reseting the PRAM the computer doesn't even recognize that I have an airport card installed at all. When this happens I have to reset the PRAM again to resolve it.
    As a final note, when the computer doesn't automatically recognize the network and I click on the desktop wireless network icon, I get the "spinning beach ball" for a period of time before the drop down box with the available networks shows up. This seems strange to me because it shouldn't be a RAM issue as I have 2GB of ram installed on this computer.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Try the following:
    Delete Preferred Network(s)
    - System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    - In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    - Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
    Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    - Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    - Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    - Restart, or log out then back in.
    Add Preferred Network(s)
    - System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    - In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    - Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    - Restart or log out then back in.
    If you haven't already, you may want to consider creating a network location for each (school & home) with the appropriate network settings required for connectivity at each. For each location, you can set the preferred network.

  • Airport express won't connect to existing network

    Hi, I have a new airport express and an iPad. I want to plug my express into an existing Ethernet point in my room at work (I work at a mining camp) it worked before and my friends express works in the port. When I flew back to work this time it wouldn't work so I reset it and tried to set up a new network. I have the etherenet cable plugged in and the green light is on at the port in the back where the cable goes. When I try to set up the express it says it won't connect to the Internet. I also cannot see it on airport utility on my iPad. Is there're anything that I can do to fix this? It won't let me finish setting up the network at all and just reverts back to set up airport express in settings on my iPad. Thanks. Work uses a Cisco system if that helps, but like I said other people's work in the same prt in my room so it's not that.

    tthis is wha is shiwn. I obv can't turn the modem off and on, unless this means turn the AE off and on which I have tried a lot.

  • Help airport express won't connect to existing network

    Hi,
    I have a simple setup. I have a Netcom wireless router/modem/VoiP and a Macbook.
    A few months ago I got a airport express so I could play itunes on the stereo.
    I set it up fine adding the AEX to the existing network. I moved house and the net was off for 3 weeks so I reset to AEX as a standalone network so I could still play itunes.
    Now the net is back on I cant get the AEX to connect to the existing network again. When I set up the AEX it updates the info but, then when it resets, the Macbook just can't find it anymore. Nothing I can do will make the macbook find it except doing the hard reset (paperclip in the side) and then of course I am back to stage 1.
    I am sure I have the network password correct (WEP) and I have tried all forms of resets - please someone help!
    cheers,

    I am having a similar problem using my new Airport Extreme. Got one express working for a printer, but second one (to play I-tunes) sets up, but then gives error message "Unable to find base station after restarting." Have done repeated re-sets.

  • Airport Express won't connect to my wireless

    I have a airport express router that i want to connect to my network wirelessly.
    I go through the step and tell it to join my network. Once I do that it starts to scan for it and can't find it.
    I have to hit the reset the button to start the process over.
    My other network is on a Linksys router on a windows 7 lap top.
    I do have an Imac that is currently on the same network without any issues
    I have no idea how to make it part of my network.

    +I go through the step and tell it to join my network. Once I do that it starts to scan for it and can't find it.+
    The most common reason for this error is that the security settings on one router do not exactly match the security settings on another. If this is the case, the Express cannot join the network and you have to start all over again.
    Can you access the setup pages for your Linksys and find the exact type of security that it is using?
    It might look something like this:
    WPA2 Personal
    WPA/WPA2 Personal
    WPA-PSK (TKIP)
    WPA2-PSK (AES)
    What is the exact setting that you see?

  • Airport express won't connect to cisco EA4500 network

    So we had two airport's working nicely on an older Belkin wireless router, now I upgraded to the Cisco EA4500 dual band, and it won't connect.  One airport is only two years old.  I can reconfigure the settings for the new network but then it won't reset after saving settings thru airport utility.  I get a 6753 error message that it didn't reset.  After this, the computer will no longer recognize the airport, and I have to unplug the airport to get the computer to recognize it again.  Any thoughts?

  • Airport Express I can connect to my wireless network but not the internet.

    The computer I set up my Airport express on works fine. But my other laptop in my house connects to the network but not internet. Why is this?

    i was having the same issue with all my devices. everything would cut out and i would have to reboot my router...my internet service provider is ATT and i have a Uverse router. i went to their online support and i was able to chat with a tech support agent and they ended up changing the channel of my router and that has resolved my problem....i am currently steaming pics from my iphoto library to my apple tv and my wife is streaming music from her iphone at the same time...support tech stated that usually they have the router set to a generic channel that usually has a lot of traffic.

  • Can't connect to existing wireless network

    I have a Qwest wireless modem (model 2701hg-d) and am trying to set up the Airport Express (AX) to use already existing wireless network wirelessly (ie without the ethernet cable). Is this possible? Do I need a wireless router instead?
    In order to set it up I have the AX plugged into the modem via an ethernet cable. I have reset the AX and then run the Admin Utility. Once it recognizes the AX I then go to the Airport tab and select 'Join an Existing wireless Network (wireless client)' and then enter in the Network Name exactly as it is spelled in my modem configuration. I check the 'Internet' tab and it says connect using: Wireless Network and the 'Network' tab is grayed out. Then I hit update and the admin utility no longer lists the AX and the AX light is blinking amber. Not sure what is going on. I am using v6.3 of the firmware. I have read the posts extensively and am wondering if my modem is not capable of handling this?

    Not exactly certain if your situation is like mine, but you could check out this previous post:

  • Airport Express Won't Connect To Wireless Network

    My AE was working perfectley fine until one day everything  just stopped working including music streaming. I try doing a facotory reset and then set everything back up again, but when I try to connect it to my wifi i get an error message that states "an unexpected error occured. Please try again" what should i do?

    3 things must occur when the AirPort Express is configured to join a wireless network.
    You must know the name of the wireless network....you probably do
    You must know the password of the wireless network...you probably do
    You must know the exact type of wireless security setting that the wireless network is using....you may not know this, but it is crucial that the AirPort Express is provided with the same settings.
    Suggest that you contact AT&T support if you do not know the exact type of wireless security that the 2-Wire router is using, so you can then provide the AirPort Express with the correct setting to join the network.

  • My AirPort Express won't connect to my Verizon FIOS Router

    I am trying to get my AirPort Express to join my Verizon FIOS wireless network and I am experiencing difficulties. I have made sure theAirport is updated with the 6.3 firmware. I only want to use it to play AirTunes over my existing network. So when I go to set it up in the AirPort Utility on my MacBook Pro it recognizes the Airport Express. I go through the setup and select "Join my existing wireless network". Then I click on my network's name and enter the WEP (i am sure I am not misspelling the WEP, I checked several times) and finish up on the settings. I then click "Update" and it tells me it's resetting and will show up in a few moments. It never shows up on my utility and the speaker never shows up on itunes. From then on the AirPort Express is unrecognizable as an airport or a network, and won't be recognizable again until I reset it.

    Nvm, i got it to work

  • 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?

  • I have recently changed my bt home hub and now my airport express won't connect to it? Any suggestions?

    I have recently changed my bt home hub and now my airport express won't connect to it? Any suggestions?

    Anytime you change out a modem or modem router like the HomeHub, the AirPort Express needs to be reset back to factory default settings and then set up again.
    The reason for this is that the Express is retaining some or all of the settings to connect to your "old" modem or hub, so it will not work correctly with a new device unless you start over again from factory default settings on the Express.
    Power up the Express for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button on the side of the Exprsss for 8-10 seconds, then release and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Now, set up the Express again, like you did originally with the "old" modem or hub that you had previously.
