Apple Airport Express Error Code -6753

HI,
I have just bought my third Airport Express. I have 2 already set up in different rooms and wanted a third for yet another room.
I have a wireless network that I want it to join along with the others.
I cannot connnect to it to configure it. Here are all the ways I have tried.
1. From a Vista laptop using the Utility that came on the disk. The device appears in teh list with the amber dot next to it, but when I try to connect to it I get a pop up that says it will connect to it, and disconnect from my existing network, which is fine. But nothing happens. So no joy.
2. Tried the same from my XP desktop PC that also has a wireless adapter. Still no joy. It detects the new wireless network but cannot connect to it.
3. From my Mac Mini. No joy whatsoever - doesnt even detect the new network created by it.
4. Coonected an ethernet cable, looked up the ip address, then tried to connect to it directly using "Other" on the XP PC. This time it asks for the password, which I enter "public" - then I just get an error code -6753.
Any ideas?

If at all possible, switch your encryption to WPA ... it just works better than WEP. If you have XP, you might need a hotfix from Microsoft.
1 Open up your router software: choose WPA PSK.
2 Type in passphrase, copy the key that is generated.
3 If your router gives you an option for AES or TKIP, choose one or the other (or mixed, if you have that).
Do not save yet. Keep the router page open on your desktop.
4 Open up your Airport Express Utility.
5 Enter the new key (not the passphrase) into the Airport Express.
6 Save this.
7 If you have any other devices on your network that require the key, open them and change the key.
8 Now, return to the router/access point page that is open on your desktop.
9 Save.
9 Your wireless network card also has to be changed in order to reflect this.
10 Open up the NIC by right-clicking on the icon in the bottom right-hand corner of your desktop. In Vista, you can also access this through Network->Network Sharing ->Status -> Wireless Properties -> Security. Add your security type, (TKIP or AES) and your key.
11 Turn off your computer.
12 Turn your computer back on.
Also, unplug AE, unplug router, and unplug modem. Plug in modem, plug in router, and plug in AE.

  • Airport Express error code -4

    Hi, I'm trying to configure my aiport express but I'm always getting the following message:
    'An error happen when trying to connect to the wireless Apple device. Check that the network is correct and try it again. Error code: -4'
    The thing is that the Airport express is conected via ethernet to a router, and my laptop reach internet through the wifi Apple Network created by the airport express.
    Can anybody help, please?

    Bump for anymore replies
    I am having the same issue but it is with an extreme not an express. Anyway i tried to upgrade to a new dual band router as this one is about 3 years old. Bad decision. When i tried to hook up my airport it was very slow all of a sudden so i deleted everything to start over. I have it working now (unsecured), downloaded the airport utility program. If finds it but gives me the error above.
    I did read elsewhere that it could be related to the first generation mac book pros with the intel chip. I origially setup the device on that computer and now i am trying to access it through my PC.
    Any suggestions?

  • Airport Express: error code another device on the network is using your computer's IP address

    I have set up the airport express now I get an error reading 'another device on the network is using your computer’s IP address 192.168.1.64. ' and I am unable to access the internet. Any suggestions?

    The modem is fine, it's just not designed to work with a router without some re-configuration.
    Connect the modem directly to your computer using an Ethernet cable
    Pull up your browser and enter 192.168.1.254 into the address bar and press enter. That should pull up the modem configuration pages
    Look for an Advanced tab on the left. You may need to enter the modem access code when you do this. It is on the bottom of the modem
    Click the PPP Location Tab
    Change this setting to "PPP is on the computer (or router)..... or, if you do not see this setting, there should be a setting for Bridge Mode.
    Make your selection and click Save or similar and modem will restart with the new settings
    Important....if you need to get back to the original modem settings again, you will need to first hold the reset button in on the back of the modem for 10 seconds, then let it restart. That will get it back to original factory settings if you need to get back to those settings.
    With the AirPort Express powered up, hold in the reset button on the device for 10-12 seccnds and then release the reset button. Allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart at which time it will slowly blink amber
    Connect the Ethernet cable from the modem to the AirPort Express
    Make sure you are logged onto the wireless signal for the AirPort Express. It provides a temporary network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. Log on to that network. There is no password.
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab/label located just under the row of icons to assign a name to the Express, a device password (write that down) and adjust Time Zone settings
    Click the Wireless tab next to the Base Station tab
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Your choice
    Check mark next to Allow network to be extended
    Radio Mode = 802.11n 802.11b/g compatible
    Channel = Automatic
    Security = WPA2 Personal
    Password = Your choice
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon
    Connect Using = PPPoE
    User Name = probably your email address with your provider
    Password = password with your provider
    Verify Password
    Service Name....Leave this completely blank
    Connection = Always On
    Disconnect if Idle = Never
    Click Update at the lower right and allow 40-45 seconds to restart. You may see a message about "setup over WAN".  Click to ignore.
    As soon as you see the message in AirPort Utility that the settings have been stored...Close AirPort Utility.
    Wait for a green light on the AirPort Express and then click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the computer screen to look for the new network that you just named. Log on and enter the password.
    You should have an Internet connection.
    If not, power everything down. Start the modem first, then the Express, then your computers

  • I keep getting an error code 6753 trying to set up airport express

    I've been trying to install the airport express with no success. I restarted, pressed the reset button and it's back to factory settings. When i try to do anything it generates an error code 6753. Any thoughts?

    Well it probably means exactly what it says... How much free space is there on your hard drive where the iTunes Media folder resides? I believe there is also an obscure bug that can occur when software doesn't read the true value of the free space properly, and the workaround is, perversely, to duplicate some content so that with less actual free space the software in question perceives it as more. I've no idea if iTunes is affected by such a bug.

  • Airport Express error -6753

    Trying to extend network with airport express and get error code-6753.  What can I do to get it working?

    I had a hard time to re-configure my Airport Express after an automatic update by Apple (New firmware for Airport Extreme) It just wouldn't work on my Leopard machine. (express was not responding, amber light flashing, unable to fetch configuration settings...etc.) Now, I've downgraded the firmware for the Express again (from 6.3 to 6.1.1) and i used a powerbook with tiger installed to configure the express. Now it all seems to work again. It took a lot of time to figure things out, wich is a shame, but I'm happy to have it all working again. And perhaps this knowledge is usefull to others.

  • Erro 3256 using Apple Airport Express with Windows XP Pro SP2

    I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 and am trying to stream my music to the Livng room from my PC in my office. I use an Apple Airport Express. I am running iTunes 8.0.1.11 on the computer that isn't getting the signal through. Now please read the entire message before you decide it is the version of iTunes that I am using.
    It was getting through just fine on my Denon 3300 but since I switched to a Denon 3802 the signal is not geting through from my main computer. It works fine from the computer sittng adjacent to it.
    I also have music on a 2nd computer and am running iTunes 7.6.2.9 on it. The music gets to the living room stereo just fine using the same Apple Airport Express. The signal strength on the computer that is successful in streaming the music to the Apple Airport Express is "excellent". On the computer that is not successful, the signal strenth is "low". Now these computers are adjacent to each other and the signal has to go through the same wall and
    exactly the same distance over the same network.
    How can it be "excellent" on one and "low" on the other? Is it just a matter of signal strength? How do I fix that?
    I keep getting "unknown error occurred 3256"
    Help please. Do I have to do something to the network? or???
    Remember I am a Windows user, not a Mac user. I do not have a "Configure IPv6" setting anywhere in my preferences. That must be a Mac thing.

    Got the error message 3256 after downloaded latest itunes version 8.xx.
    After days of reading logs and bullentin boards, uninstalling, hard resets,firewalls experiments, etc, I found solution for me. Following firmware upgrade to airport express solved. When you go to Apple download center and search for airport revisions only the MAc version pops up. However they do have this one for windows. Give it a try. Good luck.

  • Apple AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n - MB321LL/A. How to set it up to my new iMac

    Community:
    How do you set up an
    Apple AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n - MB321LL/A how do you set up on Mac running on OS X 10.9.4?
    Please advise
    Fmsalazar

    Apple did say it was important.
    If the units do not show up in the airport utility then you must set it correctly to link-local.
    Steps for OS X Lion or Mountain Lion
    This can happen if IPv6 has been disabled. To enable IPv6 for your network interface:
    Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, and then click Network.
    If a lock icon appears in the lower-left corner, click it and enter your admin name and password to unlock the pane.
    Click your network service (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) in the list, and then click Advanced.
    Click the TCP/IP tab.
    Choose Link-local only from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.
    Click OK.
    Click Apply.
    AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3
    Apple rep says the same.
    Re: Unexpected error when connecting Airport Express A1264 to Airport Utility 6.3.1
    I am searching as I saw it in a thread today where a person had issues. (No contribution from me in the thread but found that was the issue).
    It is kind of a fail safe.. since auto can end up with any setting.. and it will depend on the setting of ipv6 in the Airport Router if it works properly in the computer.. setting it to the correct value is one step in sorting out problems when people get in a mess.

  • Apple AirPort Express - not supported by BT Home H...

    The mystery of the vanishing AirPort Express makes the above conclusion inevitable. I have two, old and new, solely for iTunes music distribution. Even when they do show on my wireless network, I get the famous AirPort Utility error 10057.
    They do work from time to time, sometimes for long periods; then resetting the Home Hub usually brings them back (or not).
    I'm so exasperated by the Home Hub that in the recycling bin it goes. I'll buy a proper wireless router.
    Wake-up BT - Apple are bigger than you!

    I thought I'd post an update on my odyssey to get an Apple AirPort Express working under Windows 7 for iTunes
    The new ASUS dual band ADSL router is nice... though network setup was not entirely painless
    More flexible firmware than the BT Home Hub is a real plus
    Getting the AirPorts configured was not Apple-easy. The AirPort Utility does not like a thing called "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)" - find your wireless adaptor Properties via Network and Sharing Center and uncheck the offending item. Beware, Windows 7 homegroups like it, so you may have to switch it on again later. Pro-tem, that should get your AirPort found by the utility.
    This left me with working AirPorts which disappear from the network when not used - so you have to switch them off and on every time you want to use them.
    The only solution I've come across (set Wireless Security to WPA2 Personal on AirPort and Router) hasn't worked... 

  • Time Capsule Error Code 6753 - Cannot Configure

    I recently purchased a 2TB Time Capsule. The setup went fine, I didn't do anything radical, just let it start a network. The network wifi and ethernet both work fine, time machine backups work fine. Everything works fine.
    The problem is that I cannot access the TC's configuration in Airport Utility now, unless I reset the TC. After a reset I can configure it, and then next time I try it cannot be read again (error code 6753).
    Airport Utility can see the TC just fine, but clicking 'continue' or 'manual setup' results only in it sitting there for a while trying to read the device, and then saying there was an error.
    Does anyone have any advice?

    Are you connecting to the TC from your computer using an ethernet connection?
    If not, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule and try it again.
    If you continue to have difficulties, you may need to do a Factory
    Default Reset.
    Power off the TC for 5-10 minutes
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it while you plug the power back in to the TC
    Keep holding the reset button until you see the amber light begin to flash more quickly.
    Then try to reconfigure the TC, again using the ethernet connection. Please post back on your results.

  • Apple Airport Express  N Ethernet connected disappearing

    Hello,
    I have just setup my apple airport express to connect to my belkin wireless N router F5D8636-4 v2 via Ethernet. I have turned all the wireless features off on the express as I'm only using it to send music to my DAC. It is assigned I.P by DHCP all other computers are manually asigned I.Ps so no conflicts. My computer is also wired to the router and running windows 7 64bit. It all works great apart from when I turn my P.C off.
    When I turn it back on it cannot find the airport express over LAN until I reset the apple airport express by powering it down and back on. Is this right? Surely not? OR when im finished with my hi-fi should I be turning the apple airport express off?
    Anyone got any suggestions?
    Cheers
    Dan

    The Express can effectively extend the 2-Wire network if 4 conditions are met during the configuration of the Express to create a wireless network:
    1)  Same wireless network name as the 2-Wire network
    2)  Same wireless network security as the 2-Wire network
    3)  Same password as the 2-Wire network
    4)  Bridge Mode Operation
    Most users know 1) and 3), but 2) is the real key here. If the wireless security setting of the 2-Wire and Express do not match up exactly....then you will have 2 separate wireless networks instead of the seamless network that you desire.
    So, the first question....do you know the exact type of security settings that the 2-Wire router is using?  If not, it is not possible to configure the Express the way that you want without a long trial and error guesswork process.
    You may need to contact your service provider to find out how to access the settings to learn what they are.
    If you do know the exact security settings being used by the 2-Wire router, post back with that info and we can provide a step by step configuration guide if you want.
    I assume that you are using OS X 10.6.8 as your profile indicates.

  • Apple Airport Express is not recognized

    I bought an Apple Airport Express to help boost and/ or extend my Wi-Fi. Prior to this, I was using a combination modem/ router that my ISP provided. Anyway, I attached an Ethernet cable from my router to the WAN port on the back of my Airport Express. As I understand, it should then appear in Airport Utility, but nothing shows up. The device just blinks amber green. The error message in Airport Utility says, “No Configured Airport Base Stations have been found.” My Internet is otherwise working fine, but Airport Utility fails to recognize it. What could be wrong?

    Power up the Express for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button on the Express firmly for 10 seconds
    Allow a full minute for the Express to restart
    If Mavericks or the iOS devices cannot see the Express, you have a defective Express.
    Note....the Express will not "boost" or "extend" the signal from your wireless router wirelessly....unless you have another Apple router.

  • How to use my 3g dongle on my Apple Airport Express?

    I have a 3g hspa dongle.I want to know that my dongle can be used with Apple Airport Express utility.I want to connect my dongle into Apple Airport Express utility and share the internet with my ipad,ipod and iphone.I want to know how to do this?

    Hi Bob, just wondering if i use a Ethernet USB adapter, connect USB end to the 3G dongle and the ethernet end, with a small ethernet cable to the WAN port of the airport express, is it still possible to use the internet in the dongle through airport express?

  • My Apple Airport express loses connection

    We have a 3-4 months old Apple airport express. When it works, it works really well.
    We use it for streaming shows etc on the television via Apple tv and obviously to go on the internet.
    We have 1 iphone 5s and 1 iphone 6, 2 iPad Air, 1 MB Air and 1 MB pro Retina so all our devices are pretty much Apple.
    The express router is connected straight to the internet cable from the wall, so there is no router in between or anything. I can always connect with the router, but internet is not always pooring through. In other words, im always logged on the wifi, but it seems as something is often blocking the internet. It definitely has something to do with the router because I can be on the internet via the router on the macbook air while both iPads won't work.
    I often solve the problem by opening network preference - assist me - continue - log on the net again - type in my password for the computer and then it works again. But this is obviously not a sustainable solution. And this is also not an option on the iPads, so when it doesnt work on the iPads it just doenst work... :-/
    What is the issue?

    No one?

    Yes, it is one of the things AirPort Express was specifically designed for.
