Apple AirPort Express and 3G USB stick

Can I connect a 3G USB stick to AirPort Express in order to create a wifi network ?

Sorry, this is not possible. The USB port on the AirPort Express will only work with a printer and Keyspan remote control device.

  • I am trying to link our xbox and PC into our wireless network.  I am using an apple airport express and it is asking me for a WEP Key.  Where can I find my wep key?

    I am tyrying to link our xbox and PC int oour wireless network.  I am using an apple airport express and it is asking for my WEP Key.  Where do I find it?

    You should be able to setup WPA / WPA2 access, rather than WEP - which is old an less secure. (Unless your devices are too old for WPA??)
    Try this link: http://spotlight.getnetwise.org/wireless/wifitips/apple/apple-wpa.php
    **Edit
    Airport does support the WEP protocol.

  • Apple Airport Express and PC Laptops - Wireless Network Help

    Hello all,
    I have two Wi-Fi enabled laptops running Windows XP, an Apple Airport Express unit and a Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router.
    At present the DG-632 is running in modem mode and is connected to one laptop using the ethernet connection. The Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router has one ethernet connection and one USB connection.
    My understanding is that if i run one laptop off the USB connection on the Modem/Router and connect the the DG-632 to the ethernet connection then the laptop on USB has to be turned on for the second laptop to access the wireless network.
    Assuming the above is true (i am very likely wrong), it would be nice if both laptops were able to access the internet wirelessly via the Airpot Express Unit.
    However, being a complete novice at networking, i am little confused about how to do this?
    Any help, tutorials or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm new. I have a Dell Laptop XP and my wife has a
    dell desktop XP . I have DSL with a Linksys wireless
    router. After many hours on the phone I was able to
    get the ineternet set up for me and my wife.
    After all this I found that my Airport Express system
    couldn't connect to my stereo. It seems that the
    router wireless connection pays no attention to
    Airport. Apple says that they could set up another
    wireless system to work for Itunes by using my
    wireless card in the Laptop.
    But... I can't listen to the music and surf the net
    at the same time. A linksys person has tried to allow
    Linksys to accept and proper installation to the
    router. I tried is but it didn't work.

    Sort of new here and to the AE, but have a Dell Desktop and Tosbiba laptop both running XPHome SP2, and on dialup
    The Linksys router is hooked to the desktop with an ethernet cable. In the office.
    The AE is in the living room and works great for surfing and ITunes.
    The only way I could get my AE to work as an access point for dialup and stream ITunes from the laptop to the home theater was to use the setup found here.

    The only problem I had with the setup was do not use the $ when entering the password. And had to use a proxy server on the desktop for sharing the dialup. LOL no hope of any broadband here.
    Hope this is some help.

  • Hello, I just bought the apple Airport Express, and I am suffering from lots of difficulties. It is in the middle of out apartment and from a bedroom, it runs very slow and sometimes doesn't even load. I would like to know what might make it stronger.

    Hello, I just bought a Airport Express, and on the first day it has a a weak signal. It is very far from my working space and my apartment has very thick walls that might be blocking the signal. I would like to know if I can do anything to make it stronger or faster. If you know please reply.

    You need to move the AirPort Express closer to the bedroom.
    You can leave the modem at its current location and purchase a longer Ethernet cable to move the AirPort Express virtually anywhere that you want. The closer that you can locate the AirPort Express to your working space, the better the signal will be.
    Standard lengths of Ethernet cables are 6 feet (2 meters), 25 feet (8 meters), and 50 feet (15 meters). Any computer / electronics superstore will have a selection of Ethernet cable from which to choose.

  • Connecting hp 4620 to wireless network with an apple airport express and apple OS X 10.5

    Any help would be greatly.  This setup used to print wirelessly just fine until we switched internet providers and now the printer will not connect via the airport express router.  I've tried going into the airport utility, manual set-up, base station.....but there is no "add wireless clients" to choose like all the online help that I've read says should be there.  Thx in advance, Matt

    Hi Matt,
    Temporarly connect the printer to your mac with a USB cable.
    Go to Applicatons > Hewlett-Packard > Device Utilities and follow the HP Setup Assistant.
    Select wireless connection during the setup, you will be prompted to provide your wireless network details to reconfgure the printer on your new network.

  • Apple airport express and cisco linksys e-3000

    How does one get the linksys e 3000 router to recognize an airport express station?

    The "n" version of the AirPort Express is capable of operating on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz radio band ... but not simultaneously. That would mean it will attempt to connect to your E3000 on one or the other of its radios. This will typically be the 5 GHz radio if the AX is in the same room and the 2.4 GHz radio if it is farther away.
    Note: The AirPorts do NOT support wide-channel (40 MHz) mode in the 2.4 GHz band. If your E3000 is configured for this; this may be the problem with it connecting.

  • Apple Airport Express and Heartbleed?

    Does and Airport Express need a firmware update like Airport Extreme to address the Hearthbleed issue?
    Thanks,
    Bradley

    an Airport Express is not affected by Heartbleed and does NOT need a firmware update
    Further, only AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule base stations with 802.11ac are affected, and only if they have Back to My Mac or Send Diagnostics enabled. Other AirPort base stations are not impacted by this issue.

  • Apple Airport Xpress and a USB Broadband modem

    Can I use the USB port on the Airport Xpress to plug in a USB Broadband Modem? I'd like to use the Verizon or Sprint USB727 as my data connection and broadcast via the Airport Xpress.

    Here is the solution. You can buy an adapter that has a female usb on one end and a mail ethernet on the other. I searched and only found it eBay and no where else. The seller is in Hong kong but has a long established history of great transactions. Here is the URL. I ordered one and can let everyone know how things turned out, if anyone is interested.

  • So does the Apple Airport Express take the place of the "Charter" modem and router we already have in our house?

    We purchased the Apple Airport Express and in our home have 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, 1 iPod, 1 MacBook, and two *D* computers and a Brother printer along with Apple TV and a projector.
    1. How do we get them all to mirror the content of the various devices onto the TV or the projector?
    2. Can we now unplug the *Ch* equipment from our cable source and plug in the airport express?
    Putting all the pieces together is just a little beyond us at this moment. Maybe it will click with a little help. Thanks!

    I'm pretty sure you will find that the Airport Express will not work with your router unless it's an Airport Extreme Base Station.
    You can do two things with the Airport Express. You can connect it by USB or Ethernet cable to a device like a printer that does not have wireless capability and provide a wireless connection to your router provided the two devices will "talk" to each other.
    You can connect it to a Mac to provide audio streaming wirelessly.
    You may be able to use it with your projector provided it has its own wireless capability, but I don't know if an Airport Express will stream video. Same for your TV.
    In fact for your home I'm not sure the AEX would be of much use except to connect to your Mac in order to stream audio to another wireless device in your home. But only if you can get the AEX to work with your router or replace the router with an AEBS (which you could only do if your current router is a discrete device connected to your Charter cable modem.)

  • Apple airport express not recognised

    I have a new iMac running on Yosemite and an old(ish) first gen apple airport express which allows me to stream itunes to my nice big speaker and that works great.
    Also have an Apple TV, an iphone and an iPad and they all talk to each other fine.
    Have bought another, second hand, first gen (model number A1088) apple airport express as I want to get another nice speaker for another room so I can have music streaming throughout the house.
    However, when I plug this second apple airport express in all I get is a flashing amber light and it's not recognised on the airport utility on the mac or on my iphone.
    When I disconnect my original apple airport express and leave the 2nd one still connected I "think" my Mac detects it but it says the Airport Utility does not work with this device.
    Can anyone please help?
    I have power cycled everything (inc modem/router) and no change.
    Thanks

    Believe it or not I have got it all working.
    I ethernet connected the troublesome AE to my router, downloaded AU 5.6 and configured it to join my existing home wifi network.
    Yes my iMac's and iPhone's AU won't allow me to change any settings but they both now see it.
    If I want to make any changes I just use the AU 5.6 that I now have on my iMac. And any changes I want to make on the AE which I have been successfully using I just use the Yosemite AU.
    All good. Now off to go shopping for a nice powered speaker.

  • Apple Airport Express NOT Working! Internet IS working.

    I have Apple Airport Express.  It is wireless and multiple computers as well as cable are all able to access internet because of this handy device.  However I have unplugged it because I was having an issue with Apple TV... and I plugged everything back in and I won't get internet.  I called my internet provider and they had me hook up the internet directly to my laptop (skipping the Apple Airport Express) and now I have internet again!    However, I only have internet on the one computer that is hooked up... not all the computers/TVs/Apple TVs/iPad in the house.
    It isn't an issue with the internet provider because I can get internet.  I can't help but think that it is a problem with the Apple Airport Express.  I've unplugged everything, waited a few minutes and plugged everything back in.  I've done this a few times.  Nothing seems to work.  What am I doing wrong?  I was working fine before the first time I unplugged (and that was due to another Apple device, I think, going wrong).
    Help!

    Morning zannahdoll,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Some Internet service providers use a method called "hardware access provisioning" to regulate access to their networks. It normally means that only one of your devices (such as a computer, base station, or router) can connect directly to your modem at any given time.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    AirPort Base Station: ISP provisioning may prevent Internet connection via broadband (cable or DSL)

  • Apple Airport Express & Extreme wireless download speed

    This is the photo that I took from my airport express.  Does it mean that my maximum download speed is 100Mbps even though I subscript to a 200Mbps fibre plan?
    What is the maximum download speed for the Apple Airport Express and Extreme?

    Sorry, I don't have an iMac, so cannot answer without guessing. I will say that the settings on my MacBook Pro regarding the Ethernet port are found as follows:
    System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) > Network > Ethernet > Advanced > Hardware

  • I was told at the Apple store that I could simply plug in ( electric power) the Airport Express and it would find my wireless network. I hoped to use it as a way to play music from my iphone. I do not use other Apple routers etc,

    The Airport Express is not finding my wireless network. I do not have any of the devices listed below. I have a Belkin wireless router. Can I still use Airport Express ( without plugging an ethernet cable into it) ? Any ideas for how to make it find my network ? It is sitting next to the wireless router-so is in range.
    If you already have a wireless network in your home and want to extend its range, AirPort Express can help. Just place it in range of your primary base station — an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Express — and near the area where you want your wireless connection. Launch the easy-to-use AirPort Utility app on your iOS device or Mac, and you’re mere minutes away from long-range Wi-Fi enjoyment.

    Hi - you can do what you want to do with AirPlay from your iPhone - but unfortunately it is not as easy as the people in the Apple store told you - your first problem is that you have a non Apple router - you cannot extend a non Apple router wirelessly with the Express - you can only join the network and connect an ethernet device to it - you can however connect via ethernet and have it create a wireless network of its' own - you can set this up from your iPhone or the XP - but this is a complicated setup and would involve many different discussion areas of this forum - therefore I would suggest that you use your 90 days of support and consult directly with Apple to do this - go to this link - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • Airport express and apple tv, airport express and apple tv

    Hi
        Just wandering if this is possible.
    I was wandering if I could set up a wireless network with an airport express and then connect the apple tv to it so I could show movies etc via my MAC while travelling.
    Note there would be no internet connection involved.
    I believe you can set up the 'no internet' wirelss net work with the AE, just not sure you could connect the the Apple TV to it.
    May be a question for different forum, sorry if it is,
    Thanks in advance,
    Rich

    I can play videos from the Apple Videos app and the from Photos app with the video going to the monitor and the audio through the speakers attached to the Airport Express.
    but as soon as I try to do it with Keynote, no luck. I have to play videos in Keynote without sound.
    what can I do to fix that?
