Ampliación red WiFi con Airport Express

Es posible ampliar la cobertura de la red WiFi que entrega el router principal y a su vez utilizar las características AirPlay y puerto de impresora?

If you haven't yet, try performing a "factory default" reset on your AirPort Express. This should get the base station back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration. Once completed go ahead and reconfigure for your networking needs. Hopefully this solved the issue. If not, then it is possible that the audio circuity inside the Express has failed. Unfortunately there a no user serviceable parts.
One test is to connect a pair of stereo headphones to the base station's audio port. This would test its analog audio output. To test its digital audio you would need a TOSlink cable with one minijack end and a digital receiver or other device.

    Is this an airport express problem?? Only Youtube and google doesnt work. Its not work only on wifi from airport express. I really have no idea about technical problem.

    After the last upgrade, my itunes doesn't open (this happen only the first time after the start of my pc). It seems frozen.To re-open Itunes i need to terminate APS deamon every time from task manager.
    What is Apple doing to solve this problema? Thank you.

  • Set up teamcapsule wifi and airport express

    Good day.  I have strange problem. At home i have dsl router witch setted up  by provider. It configured as dhcp, def gatevays.
    At timecapsule (with wifi) i setted up wifi . the timecapsulconnected to router by lan at bridge port.
    Also i have airport express device  witch is turned on at another room (but not in lan connection) and it use same wifi settings (;linked to time capsule).
    The question i have is seems to me the signal is wery bad.
    Please may be i didn't setted up themproperly or what can i do to extend signal from time capsule to another rooms?
    I don't want toset up different wifi areas in one appartment.I want the same  network nameand security settings and also all network settings for both devices.

  • How do I extend my WiFi with Airport Express? I have Ethernet in the house and an Wifi that do not cover the whole house. I do not get it to work.

    I have Ethernet in the house and an Wifi that do not cover the whole house. I do not get it to work. I have tried to get it into my network and it get connected via the WiFi but not the Ethernet. Also when it gives a green light I cannot see that it is giving any signals to my devices (iPhone etc).

    You need to pay attention to something, while extending your network with the latest AirPort Express upgrade, your devices will be connected to it except your iPhone, you'll see your iPhone always connected to the capsule instead, even if you're at 1 foot from the AirPort Express.
    You need to change the radio settings from automatic to 802.11a - 802.11b/g on your capsule, then I put it back to the default settings...
    Now in the AirPort utility you should see your iPhone connected to the AirPort

  • Cannot print or scan with USB printer over wifi from airport express / time capsule wifi

    Hi everybody,
    I have recently set up time capsule connected to the router from the telephone company but created a new wifi network for the time machine to better work. Now I have bought an airport express to be able to use my USB printer over the WIFI network. I have to laptops, the printing works fine over the mac book air but not over the macbook pro. On top of that I cannot scan with either of the devices.
    I have scanned most of the information out there but this issue seems not to be addressed properly anywhere. Advices given do always repeat itself but no solution worked for me.
    Now I have plugged the usb from the printer directly back into mac book pro and the problem seems to persist here too. The message I receive everywhere is this one:
    The software for the printer was installed incorrectly.
    Would you like it to be repaired?
    When I hit the Repair button a notice says 'repairing permissions' but nothing really happens. In the end nothing has been printed.
    Resetting the printing systems has not really changed anything either. The problems persist.
    This is the screen I get when the printer is directly plugged in through USB:
    Result: printer recognised and installed, I cannot print (The software for the printer was installed incorrectly), but I can scan (probably because of the hint ('multifunction')
    When I try to install the printer through the network connection (wifi network over time capsule and airport express) I get this image:
    Result: printer recognised over bonjour but without multifunction (in other words without scanning), I cannot scan nor print (The software for the printer was installed incorrectly)
    As I already mentioned any solution I found online would not work. Now the qustions are:
    1) why can't I print? The drivers seem to be there but somehow broken, and I don't know how to repair it
    2) why can't I scan over wifi? It sould possible that any function that can be performed over cable should also be able to performable over air, right?
    I would very much appreciate any kind of help.
    Thank you in advance,
    Cris

    What's up doc?
    HP has not provided "network" drivers to allow advanced features when the the All-in-One is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
    Therefore, only the printing function is supported when the All-in-One is connected to the Time Capsule's USB port.
    If you need advanced features like fax, copy, scan, maintenance etc., you will need to connect over the WiFI network, or connect the All-in-One directly to your computer.

  • Hi can i connect hifi digital and my home wifi to airport express.

    Hi i have been thinking about adding my hifi  and sony digital TV to my home network which consist of three mac computers and has a wifi internet connection. What are the advantages of using airport express over bluetooth hardware. Using the male single plug on the airport express what is the sound clarity like from my Iphone. At present it is not very good using earphone jack on my Iphone 4 to Hifi. Will it improve with airport express. What is the difference between airport express and extreem. Lots of questions maybe a few answers. thankyou Paul

    Re Airport Express.  I use one of these to play Apple Lossless files through my hifi.  The stereo connector on the Express is capable of both analogue and digital output. To use the analogue output - which is the same from standard stereo equipment like CD Tape players, and iPhone headphone connector, use the standard plug with the appropriate connectors for your amplifier. To use the digital output, you will need to use a toslink cable - AND your amplifier will need to have a digital in port. The toslink will need to have a connector that fits inside the connector on the Express ( it is a bit longer than the usual stereo / headphone jack and allows the laser light inside the Express to shine down the cable to the amp - which may have a slightly different connector and require an attachment to the end of the tosling cable. If your amp does not have a digital connector - my does not - then you could purchase a stand alone DAC that takes the laser light and converts it to analogue output.  These can vary in price substantially but MAY givea  better sound - depending on the quality of the DAC and the quality of the amp. The Express has a built in DAC that is used if you use the standard stereo cable, and by-passed if you use the toslink cable.
    Quality
    The difference in quality will depend on the type of files you are using, your amp and your speakers.
    MP3 files may not sound any different, but Apple Lossless or FLAC files which are much higher quality MAY - or MAY NOT - sound better using toslink cable and the DAC compared to using the analogue output and standard stereo cable from the Express.
    Personally, I use Apple Lossless files from iTunes and the analogue output from the Express into Rega Amp and Royd Speakers and I'm very pleased with the sound.  I have considered using an stand alone DAC but feel the extra expense is not worth it in my case. You could start with the same setup and see how it sounds to you. The quality is difinitely very good and you can add the toslink cable and DAC later. The latest Airport Express may contain an even better DAC than earlier versions so may sound even better.
    If you have an iPhone, you can use Apples Remote app to control iTunes on your Mac, to choose music,change track, change volume etc. This all works over the wifi network. You can also stream music directly from your iPhone - or your friend's iPhone - to the Express over the wifi network.
    I have my MacBook Pro in my office space, 15 metres away in the next room, my Express and stereo in the living room and my iPhone in my hand on the couch and I'm delighted with the flexibility and the sound.
    I have no experience with bluetooth for sound.

  • Canon mp600r wifi and airport express

    I have 2 airport express. One is a routeur (because there are an imac and an ibook)and is connected to dsl on internet. The others airport express is used to enlarge the wi-fi access network in the house.
    i want to use the second airport express for my wifi printer, but without the usb port (because i can't scan from the printer,and the imac can't see the scan;i juste can print form the imac).
    And i want to scan from the printer or from the imac.
    what can i do?
    thank you

    Agreed, my MP600r works fine on my Airport network.
    Problems may occur if you use WEP encryption.
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • Guest wifi with Airport Express

    Is it possible to create a guest wifi hot spot using the Airport Express? I currently have a 2Wire modem/router which provides a wired and password protected wireless network. I'd like to use my Airporrt Express to add an additional password free wireless connection that would not have access to my main network. Is this possible with the equipment that I have?
    Thanks!

    You can configure the AirPort Express as a "bridge" to "Create a wireless network" and connect to another router using an ethernet cable. But, using an Apple device as the main router, guests connecting through the Express will be able to "see" other devices on the network, so you would probably want to password protect the AirPort Express network.
    I don't know whether a 2Wire gateway could be configured to work as you desire. My guess would be no, but I may be wrong. In any case, it's probably a question for 2Wire support.
    Instead of "AirPort Express", you could substitute the phrase "wireless access point" in your post and then post it on the 2Wire site.
    Please let us know on your findings.

  • How do I extend my wifi using Airport express with my time capsul?

    I want to extend my wifi from my time capsul.  Can I do this with airport express?  I have my wifi with cable so would I need to get another modem and hook the express to that?  Would that help?  I want to keep the same network and not add another.

  • Extending wifi with airport express and time capsule

    Hi All
    I'm new to macs and moving over in a big way!
    I started with a time capsule and all was fine apart from the coverage in the house.
    It seemed easy to extend the wifi so purchased an AE 802.11n and extended the network.
    It does extend and I can connect to the internet but the network is now really really slow and the time capsule backup wont work.
    connection is :
    Ethernet modem - Airport express ( as its close to my audio equipment ) - extended WIFI conection via 802.11n.
    Any suggestions? why is it so slow?
    Im at 7.3.1 firmware on both AE and time capsule and the Macbook pro is at 10.5.3.
    Any suggestions?

    I've managed to change the 5gHz of ther Airport Express that's extending the network.
    As mentioned, main AE is on channel 48, and I now have the 2nd AE on channel 36 - which means my TV can now see the network. Also tested speed via my mavbook air on the same 5gHz network as it all seems OK (A while ago I spotted my Time Capsule was on the same channel 48 as main AE and throughput was abysmal! Bad enough to make me reset the TC to factory defaults and setup again - which is when the TC got channel 120).
    Anyway, the fix... I changed the 2nd AE to create a wireless network (instead of extend), and manually set the channel to 36. I then set it back to extend, and it seems to have kept channel 36.

  • I've extended my Time Capsule wifi via Airport Express and the download speed is still super slow

    I get an average of 80Mbps download speed when close to the Time Capsule. When I got upstairs in the house the download speed drastically drops. So I decided to extend the wifi range using an Airport Express. See image below. I've placed the Express router upstairs in the house and when I stand close to the Express I get a very slow download speed. About 7Mbps. Even slower than when I hadn't "extended" the range. What's going on...?

    Well, the first rule that you need to remember is that when you "extend" using wireless.....you will have a drop in the potential speed on the network. So, while you might have more "range" for the network, the network speed will drop. Nothing that you can really do about that other than connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Express using a wired Ethernet connection. There will be no speed loss over the Ethernet cable, so the Express should deliver approximately the same speed as the Time Capsule.
    The next rule is that when a device "extends" using wireless, it can only extend the quality and speed of the signal that it receives. A speed "boost" will not appear.
    Try locating the Express about half way between the Time Capsule and the area that needs more wireless coverage.  Anything that you can do to minimize obstructions between the Time Capsule and Express and on to the other area will help.....but you will never get close to the performance of connecting the AirPorts using an wired Ethernet cable.
    Unfortunately, Apple really doesn't tell you very clearly, if at all,  about important things like the two rules above.

  • Trouble extending WiFi using Airport Express over wired connection

    We're attempting to improve the wireless connection in an apartment. The original network runs off a current model Airport Extreme. We used a pair of ZyXEL powerline adapters to extend a wired connection to the other end of the apartment, and connected a new Airport Express at the far end. Airport Utility automatically configured the Express to extend the network. Didn't work so well.
    A laptop plugged directly into the powerline adapter gets a great connection. When the Express is connected to the powerline adapter (yes, using the WAN port), not only can I no longer connect to the network wirelessly, but even turning WiFi off and plugging a Cat5 cable into the LAN port on the Express results in a connection that's either nonexistent or so slow as to be nonfunctional. The laptop does pull an IP address when hardwired.
    Has anyone had any luck with this type of arrangement?
    Thanks!

    When you say that AirPort Utility automatically configured the Express to extend the network......you did not specify whether the Express was set up to "extend wirelessly" or "extend using Ethernet".
    There is a huge difference here, and if for some reason the Express was first configured to extend the network wirelessly......and then the Ethernet connection was made......that will set up a feedback loop that will effectively crash the network....rendering the Express virtually useless.  Sound familiar?
    Suggest that you start over and follow our step by step instructions.  We assume that you are using a 6.x version of AirPort utility.....or....that you will be using an iPhone or iPad for the setup. Would that be correct?  We also assume that you have a spare Ethernet cable on hand......any length will do, the longer the better.
    Post back when you are ready to get things set up.

  • Extend wifi with airport express

    I want to use an airport express to extend my AirPort Extreme wifi. Do I need to connect them with a cable ? Is there a benefit to connect them with cable?

    We need more information, please before we can answer accurately.
    What model of AirPort Express? New model?
    What model of AirPort Extreme?
    Please look for the model number on the side or bottom of the device. It starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
    What operating system are you using on your Mac or PC?
    Do I need to connect them with a cable ?
    Yes, if you want maximum performance, as wireless is always a compromise in quality of signal and speed.
    Is there a benefit to connect them with cable?
    See previous answer.

  • Extend Wifi with Airport Express when Airport Extreme is in Bridge Mode

    Hello,
    I'm trying to make my Wifi network easier at home but Im having some trouble.
    My Internet Provider installed a Router at home. So I had to connect my Airport Extreme to the IP Router via cable and setup in Bridge Mode.
    In my Airport Extreme I created a Wifi Network called WIFI HOME.
    Than I connected two Airport Express into my Airport Extreme via cable and created two new wifi networks: WIFI HOME 2 and WIFI HOME 3.
    But, in my opinion, this is not cleaver way to have my Wifi Network setup, since I have to change networks all the time.
    The problem is that every time I tried to extend my current WIFI HOME setup into one of the Airport Express, the Airport Express crashes during the setup reset and my network starts to behave wrongly.
    I'm starting to think that is something related to the Bridge Mode in my Airport Extreme. but I want to check with you guys if that makes any sense.
    Thanks a lot!

    Power off both of the AirPort Express devices
    Disconnect the Ethernet cables
    Wait a minute
    Power up one of the AirPort Express devices for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button on the Express for 10 seconds and release
    Allow a full minute for the AirPort Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express if it is a two port version
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Look for a listing of New AirPort Bsee Station
    Click on AirPort Express
    The setup utility will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network. Then, it will suggest that the Express be configured to Extend the AirPort Extreme network.
    Type in a name that you want to call the AirPort Express.  Example........Express1
    Click Next
    Then, the screen message will change to indicate that the AirPort Express is being configured to extend using Ethernet.
    When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    The first Express is now set up and working correctly.
    Set up the second Express exactly the same way........except give it a different name to avoid confusion.....Example......Express2.
