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.

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.

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.

Configuring my Airport Express and Cisco DCP3008 modem

Hi,
I have an airport express version 7.6.1
and a cisco modem dcp3008 and having issues trying to connect the two. I have called cisco and they told me they would have to reconfigure it for 60 dollars. Is there anyone that has any suggestions for how I could manually figure this out?
My cable/internet service is Charter.... and they can't do anything ha ha.

You can effectively extend the Cisco's wireless network by creating a roaming network with both routers. Note that this would require that both routers be interconnected by Ethernet. Since the Express will perform a new role, be sure to perform a "factory default" reset on it so that it will be in its "out-of-the-box" configuration.

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
This question was solved.

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 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.

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.

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 have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".
