Airtunes to old Express using TC as wireless connection

Obviously a Newbie. Can't figure out how to use the Express (b/g) to get music to our stereo.
Should the AE be part of the TC network or a standalone component to move music to the stereo (yes, I do know it needs to be wired to the stereo!)
What should the setting on the TC look like?
Have read the manuals (are the translated from some foreign language?) but what I need is the Idiot's Guide. Any help would be appreciated.

i have two old express units (b/g) that join the wireless network created by my sim dual band TC. i'm streaming content to them as i'm typing this.
What should the setting on the TC look like?
nothing special, really. just have it create a wireless network. you may want to put a tick in the box next to +allow this network to be extended+ (though you old express cannot extend it).
merry christmas !

Old MSI all-in-one wireless connectivity problem

Hi folks,
Hope someone can help - if only by sending me somewhere else!
I have a reasonably old MSI all-in-one model MS-6633 (NetON AP 1900) which I bought new perhaps 6 or 7 years ago.
I'm running it wirelessly, connected via a TP-Link Powerline Ethernet Adaptor. My main PC is wired to a TalkTalk modem.
For some reason it's recently been disconnecting itself from the internet, although, by going to 'connect to' I can usually fairly quickly regain the internet connection.
I've spoken to TalkTalk and their tech guy ran 20 minutes of tests - at the end of which he said that there was nothing wrong with my internet connection or any other equipment leading to my PC......so the problem must be in the MSI unit.
Mind you, I don't entirely trust him - would he tell me if I was getting brief disconnections caused by a fault at their end?
He gave me the MSI number (0870 8200 009) - which always comes up with a "we're busy" automated answer - and I don't know what else to do.
Can anyone help; tell me what I need to do, or redirect me to somewhere useful.
Thank you

Hi there - glad someone cares!!!
Yep - definitely in the UK - whether I like it or not!
Right - O/S is Windows XP Home edition
Automated updates are always turned on....
Connection to the phone line is by router
I considered removing and re-installing the drivers, but thought I'd ask around first.....
Actually, yesterday I did a clean-up which hadn't been done for ages.
The computer concerned is my spare/back-up, which my wife uses at present and I do tend to forget to do any housekeeping on it though, but ever since I worked it over, (cookies, temp files, etc removed) there's been no problem with the internet connection.
I'm not taking the kudos - I just thought I'd do it and just perhaps, it's solved the problem.
However, if anyone knows of a better way to ensure that the computer remains connected, I'd love to hear from you.

Old generation Apple TV loses wireless connection

I have an older gen Apple TV (silver). Recently it upgraded the software...can't remember if it's ever been updated prior to that. I've had it for at least 3 years...no problems connecting to the internet. Now it loses connection once per day...goes OK for a few hours, then kicks out. Seems there are many similar complaints...any answers other than buying the most recent version? Seems to run perfectly well when it's connected.

Hello Weff2727,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

Using iPhone as Wireless Connection

Does anyone know if the iPhone can be connected to your computer so that it can be used as your wireless internet connection instead of an aircard?

No, it cannot. This is called tethering and is not supported by iphone or AT&T. There was an article on CNet that it may happen sometime in 2009.

Apple AirPort Express - use only as wireless audio gateway

Hello!
I use a Samsung Notebook (Q35) and iTunes extensively. My WLAN (801.11 g) connection is already set up with an existing access point and router - but what I really want to do is to make up a wireless audio connection between iTunes and my stereo system. Sounds like the AirPort Express is the right thing to do - but, please, can anybody tell me
a) if I can use both my existing WLAN network and the AirPort Express as ONLY audio gateway to my stereo TOGETHER at the same time (I do not want to include the AirPort into my WLAN-DSL network - I only want to use it as audio gateway to the stereo),
b) which performance I can expect in such configuration (does surfing the internet slow down the audio link in such configuration)?
c) can I use the AirPort Express to take up an extrenal harddrive in such a configuration?
Do You have any suggestions of alternatives for a wireless audio gateway to the stereo? Are there other, generally useable ways?
Thanks very much for Your answer in advance.
Björn
P.S.: Do You know - can I use the USB connector in the AirPort Express to connect to a USB hub - and use it to connect it to my iPod and synchronize my iPod wireless?

hi Björn,
a) if I can use both my existing WLAN network and the AirPort Express as ONLY audio gateway to my stereo TOGETHER at the same time (I do not want to include the AirPort into my WLAN-DSL network - I only want to use it as audio gateway to the stereo),
the Airpor Express can be configure to join your existing WLAN. so as a part of your local network, it will be an accessible device while you can still used your internet.
b) which performance I can expect in such configuration (does surfing the internet slow down the audio link in such configuration)?
i haven't notice a significant slow down while i'm surfing internet and streaming AirTunes but i'm not able to tell you how much bandwidth AirTunes actually needs.
c) can I use the AirPort Express to take up an extrenal harddrive in such a configuration?
No, only the new Airport Extreme n base station can support AirDrive but the Airport Extreme base station does not have the AirTunes features.
Do You have any suggestions of alternatives for a wireless audio gateway to the stereo? Are there other, generally useable ways?
personnally, i do beleive that the AirTunes features you will get with the Airport Express is the better alternative since you already use iTunes for your playback.
P.S.: Do You know - can I use the USB connector in the AirPort Express to connect to a USB hub - and use it to connect it to my iPod and synchronize my iPod wireless?
to my knowledge, the usb socket on the Airport Express can only be used by a USB printer or a AirTunes remote control. you will not be able to synchronize your iPod on the Airport Express.

Airport Express used to extend wireless network from Linksys?

I've been asked if I can straighten out a wireless mess at a local church. They have a wireless network in their office (a seperate small building) using a linksys transmitter.
The church (a seperate building 50 yards away is where they want to extend the network to.
Currently, I can read the network there on whqat they have now but something is misconfigured and the manufacturer is being of little assistance.
Has anyone used an Apple Airport Express to extend a 3rd party wireless router? Ive decided it may just be worth the cost to dump the relay they have and simply buy an airport express.
Suggestions?

The Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GS (not latest versions v5) are the only 2 known Linksys routers compatible with Apple's WDS.
So if you are using one of those routers you should be able to do it.
If you are using a different router it probably will not work.

Can OS X Lion be used without a wireless connection?

I have two wired networked Mac Minis with track balls. Can't figure out what I would need to upgrade or change to use Lion. Would I need to go wireless?

From the How to Buy web site...
To upgrade on day one:
Step 1:
Make sure your Mac can run Lion.
Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion. Find out if your current Mac has one of these processors by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, then choosing About This Mac.
Step 2:
Make sure you have the latest version of Snow Leopard.
Get up to date with the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard to purchase OS X Lion from the Mac App Store. If you have Snow Leopard, click the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install the latest version.
Step 3:
Download OS X Lion from the Mac App Store.
When OS X Lion is released in July, open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download it. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install Lion.
Here is the link to the site.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
If you want to buy on the day it is released, this how you will have to go about it. If you have a working Internet connection and you can connect to the Mac App Store you should be able to download it. Don't see why wireless will be necessary.
Make sure your Mac meets the requirements. You will probably have to upgrade to 10.6.7 as well.

Using a different wireless connection?

HP3522 has been on our satellite wireless network and working just fine, but due a blizzard, that network is not working. I've turned on our Sprint wireless hotspot and computer is working great, but printer won't work. How do I set the printer up on a different network?

Hi audrey305,
I am not sure if this is still relevant, but when the network switch is temporary I would have to advise using a USB cable instead. Changing network settings on some models is more involved.
In this instance, you would have to disconnect the printer from the normal network and then connect it to the temporary network. And then you would need to change the software on the computer because it is likely that the network address was changed on the printer because of the new network. This might require uninstalling and then installing the software to get the change to work.
On most versions of Windows, simply plugging in a USB cable will at least let printing work without too much trouble.
I was an HP employee.

Video streaming using third-party wireless connection

Hey,
I just loaded a new website (www.j3motorsport.com) and it has flash movie
banner on top, which stops playing while its loading. I have the same problem watching videos on youtube.com. Are there any settings in Airport Extreme I can adjust to speed load time up? any help would be welcomed.
Best,
Michael

Welcome to the discussions.
This really depends on the type of connection you are
using, more than anything else.
If you are on Dial up that, I am sorry to say goes
with the territory.
You shouldn't be having a problem over DSL or Cable.
The transfer rate on the Airport Extreme Base is not
the issue.
It may also be a direct result from the type of
player and the settings used. Many will offer 56k or
DSL, or Cable settings when viewing video content.
It could also be caused by the developer of the site,
and what format they used to render there projsct and
the technolgy, Real Player, Windows Media Player,
Quicktime, Macromedia Flash,
On some occasions you may have to download there
players to get the video to work as well.
Cheers Don
Don,
Thanks for the response. I'm using cable internet, and the site is one I had developed. the flash banners in that site are made with flash 8, and they stream fine over my direct DSL connection at my office. I haven't tried directly connecting here, because I'm afraid I'll screw up my wireless settings. any advice?
Thanks again,
Michael

Airport express and the existing wireless router problem.......

Ok,
I have a wireless router working fine in my house in fact i'm using it right now with my old
12" G4 power book to send this message, but i have recently bought a mac pro and totally forgot to put an airport card in it when configuring it. (oops) so i have bought an airport express to link the mother ship up to the internet and network but with no joy so far!!!
can anyone help,i understand to do this the airport is set to "Bridge Mode" but i still can't get the bugger to work.
Please help.
(step by step instructions would be great)

alphasonic, Welcome to the discussion area!
Is your "wireless router" an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) or another AirPort Express (AX)? If not, you probably will not be able to do this.
The Ethernet port on the AX is active ONLY when the AX uses WDS to wirelessly connect to a network. Unfortunately most (nearly all) are NOT compatible with Apple's WDS and therefore this is not possible.

How to use both wired and wireless connection with static addresses

Now that I have setup my home network with static addresses (router, mini1, mini2 and PC) in the way I want, (big thanks to BDAqua http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1271635&tstart=0) I would like to understand some more advanced network concepts.
I would like to change the network so that I use both the wireless connection and the built-in ethernet connection at the same time in my Mac mini1. I would like to connect my PC to my Mac mini by using the wired ethernet connection so that I reach the Internet from my PC as well. I would also like to be in control of all the addresses therefore I want to assign the addresses manually.
The question: What addresses should I use between mini1 and PC? Should I use the same wireless address space as I already use between the wireless router and the other computers (router: 192.168.1.1, mini1: 192.168.1.101, mini2: 192.168.1.103) or should I use something totally different like 10.X.X.X? What should I put in ethernet connection "Router"-field, the same as in Airport (192.168.1.1)? What about DNS, same as in Airport?

If I understand this correctly, you wish your Mini to perform Internet Sharing for your PC, correct!?
If so you'll pretty much have to let the Mini handle DHCP & NAT on the Ethernet port. You also want to be sure Airport is dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations, that's what position the Mini will use 1st for Internet itself.
On the Mini turn on both Web Sharing & Internet Sharing. The PC once connected will have the Mini's Ethernet IP as it's Gateway addy.

2 1/2 yr old macbook suddenly will not make wireless connection

macbook, two and a half yrs old suddenly will not make wireless connection unless I am sitting directly in front of router. Any ideas?

Hi bluefatdogs2, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Probably a loose antenna cable, or the Airport card is dying. but I'd check the first, up under the Battery I think.

TC & MBP - complete loss of wireless connection and usage

I apologise in advance if this is a very long winded post! I've been an Apple fan for some 20 years now and it's only in the last three months that my love affair is starting to wane due to (what seems to me) poor hardware releases.
My setup:
1 x PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz with Edimax 802.11n PC Card
1 x MBP 2.4Ghz (purchased April 2008) with AirPort 802.11n
1 x Time Capsule 500Gb
1 x Airport Extreme Base Station Gigabit Ethernet edition
1 x Netgear DG384 v2 (wired only) modem router
1 x standard ADSL connection (8Mbps) from a UK ISP (and yes, 8Mb is about the norm for the UK! Though in reality, it means closer to 4Mb...)
The Netgear router is connected to the ADSL line and is set up as the DHCP server for the network. I have a Fixed IP address from my ISP. The Time Capsule is connected via ethernet to the Netgear router. The TC is set up in Bridge mode as the router serves DHCP. The TC is wall mounted via the excellent AirMount from H-Squared.
The TC has been through a myriad of configurations in an attempt to create a stable wireless environment since its purchase in April. Prior to my recent holiday (two weeks in Greece - hurrah!), the current configuration was solid for both Macs.
The config is: Bridge mode; 2.4Ghz N Only wireless; WPA2 secured; no MAC address access control restrictions (so pretty straightforward). The TC is running firmware 7.3.1. It is setup as "Create a Wireless Network"
Both Macs are running OS X 10.5.3 with all of the latest updates including AirPort Utility 5.3.2.
It took me about six weeks to hit upon this config for the TC having had many wireless drop outs, stalled connections, lost internet connections (ie. I could access the TC HDD but could not access the internet using the same wireless connection). So much frustration in the early days - I tried many of the solutions on this forum but to no avail until I hit upon the 2.4Ghz N Only route which seemed to be the answer to all my problems.
Prior to leaving on holiday, I unplugged all of the equipment in the room including the TC and the router. When I returned, I restarted everything in a logical sequence - router first (and waited for a connection), then the TC and then the Macs.
From this point on the problems have started. The PB G4 with the wireless card has a more or less stable connection. The wireless card connects immediately to the TC but then it takes approximately 30-60 seconds for an internet connection to work (so I see a lot of the Not connected to the internet messages in Safari). It seems to immediately get an IP address from the router via the TC but then the internet connection itself takes a while to come up.
The MPB on the other hand is a nightmare. Since returning from holiday I have not been able to get a workable wireless connection at all. In no particular order, the problems that the MBP exhibits are as follows (these can occur at the same time or individually):
i) only returns a self-assigned IP address; renewing the DHCP lease does not fix the problem
ii) does not see the network at all (although it will see others in the vicinity)
iii) cannot connect to the network - returns the Connection Timeout error or very occasionally the Password Incorrect error; I have tried connecting the network via the AirPort menu bar item, via Join another network... from the menu bar, via the Network selection menu in System Preferences > Network and even via Internet Connect - all with no success
iv) sometimes I am able to connect to the network but no IP address is received. Having checked the TC logs, it shows the same error occurring over and over again:
Jun 26 22:06:04 Severity:5 Associated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Deauthenticating with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c (reserved 2).
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Disassociated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
The MBP connects but is immediately thrown off the network.
So to all intents and purposes, the wireless aspect of the MBP and the TC are completely useless.
When I use a wired (ethernet) connection to the TC everything is joyful. Instant IP address assignment, excellent connection speeds, no drop outs and so on. So as far as I can ascertain, the TC is working fine with the exception of the wireless/wireless security.
The AEBSn that is connected to the same network no longer appears in Airport Utility.
Having read through many posts here, I have tried many solutions including:
- downgrading the FW to 7.3; no difference at all
- turning off wireless security; no difference at all
- changing channels; I've tried 1, 6, 9, 11 and 13 with no difference at all
- changing the wireless mode; B/G, G only, N only all make no difference (I can't use 5Ghz N only as the PB G4 does not support this and I need both Macs wirelessly connected)
- rebooting the TC (both via Airport Utility and 'power off'); makes no difference
- reinstalled OS X 10.5.1 (via the install disks that came with the MBP) using the Archive & Install feature; then used the Combo updater to upgrade directly to 10.5.3; once again, no difference.
I have not yet done a hard reset as this has made no difference in the past but obviously I will try it.
In other words, HELP!
I am stymied. I have tried so many solutions offered on here and on the likes of MacFixIt and other Mac forums none of which have brought back my wireless connection for the MBP.
The MBP works very well with other wireless connection. For example, at work, we have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to a BT leased line. I have not had a single connection issue for three months with this setup. Similarly, whilst on holiday, I used many different hot spots and had no issues with the wireless connection. All of this evidence leads me to suspect that the MBP is not the issue.
From what I can tell, the problem seems to be in the wireless security on the TC. It seems to prevent access by MBP (though not the PB G4 using a wireless card) but disabling security did not change the error messages shown in the log or the lack of connectivity.
It is a real shame that I cannot get a satisfactory working environment with the TC as the concept is great. The reality is, however, that it is unusable in its current condition and loathe as I am to try and return it or replace it, I am rapidly coming the conclusion I will have to.
Before I do, however, I am hoping that the genii who exist on these forums may be able to proffer some ideas or solutions that I haven't yet tried.
My sincere thanks will go to anyone who provides a solution for me. There may even be beer involved as a mark of gratitude!!
Thanks for reading and fingers crossed someone knows something special...

Smokerz: thanks for the reply and the advice. Not really in a position to set up a dual network at the moment due to the positioning of the TC and the AEBS but if I get an opportunity to try it I will.
I have temporarily given up with the TC as the router for the wireless network. I've installed a Vigor 2820n modem router (it's the only one I could find that has a Gigabit port - only one though) as well being a modem (ADSL) router. Thus far, everything seems fine - although I have had a couple of drop outs due (I think) the AirPort connection on the MBP. And interestingly, I've set up the TC as a "test" wireless network using the Vigor's internet connection and it's way more stable than with the Netgear router. So perhaps it's a combination of many factors - the poor Netgear router, the TC and the MBP AirPort connection - that was causing the issues.
I'll give 10.5.4 a go as well and see if that helps at all.
Thanks to all who read the question - if anyone else has thoughts I'd be delighted to hear them.
