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)

Hope this helps,

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...

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.

Mac nor iPhone can 'see' my Airport Express, but Wifi/internet is working

Totally frustrating. I'm running Yosemite and iOS 8.0.2. Airport Utility on my Mac (rMBP & 13" MBA) never finds the airport express. My iOS app finds it, then says that it's not part of the network anymore. Crazy because my internet/WiFi go directly through it and there are no interruptions. Any ideas? This is seriously dumb.
No, I haven't tried resetting my Airport Express since upgrading to iOS8 or Yosemite as every time I do it takes forever to start working again -> won't acquire an IP address for hours...
TIA

Tried that, no luck. Utility is just searching. I can 'see' the router & attached disk fine in the finder though + internet is working just fine. Sometimes, it does have issues connecting to it in the finder window.
This is what I see in the utility. At this snapshot, it's been sitting there for 5mins:
Ideas?

AirPort express not recognising internet signal from cable modem

my airport express is not recognising the internet connection. It is connected directly via a cable modem (which has full strength when connected directly to the PC) and when networked to the PC it shows in airport utility but when configuring it returns an error message saying it is not recognising an internet signal. the unit can't be faulty as I have just replaced this one with a brand new replacement and the problem is the same. Is there a setting i have missed which is not allowing the signal through from the modem ?

It is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking gear whenever you change network hardware. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on how to do so.

When I hook up my airport express I loose internet, but it shows I'm connected and my printer is connected. It does not work though!!!

I set up my airport express and it shows it is properly set up, green light and all... However, it shuts off my internet and does not print through the printer it shoes hooked up. Bummer!!! Help???
Kim

I had similar issues setting up my airport express this afternoon. Finally got it to work by unplugging my cable modem and the airport express at the same time. Then plugged in cable modem, once it was running, plugged in the airport express, and it finally started working.
Per Apple's poor documentation, I had already restarted them individually many times, but doing them together finally got mine working. I was getting very frustrated though.
Hope it works for you too.

Use AirPort Utility - it's free too.

Airport express not working since today's itunes update

Since updating iTunes today, Airport Express not working. More specifically, the Airport software will recognise the device exists, but iTunes cannot connect to it, just getting error message.

try this:
go system preferences > network > airport > advanced > TCP/IP and set *configure IPv6* to off. click on apply.
now have iTunes connect to the remote speaker again.

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 can I connect Charter's DOCSIS 3.0 cable internet to Apple Airport Express?

Hey,
Ive recently relocated & had to switch to Charter internet. They provided the wireless router for the time being, however, I would like to use my Apple Airport Express.
Charter says that I need a DOCSIS 3.0 device. I have no clue what that is.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank You

By DOCSIS 3.0 device, Charter is referring to a version of a broadband Internet modem, not your AirPort Express. If Charter is already providing you with a wireless router they may be doing so as a combination modem/router or just a router. If the latter is the case, then you would still require a modem for service.
Regardless, what it make & model of the wireless router that Charter is providing you?

Apple TV viewing of my PCs iTunes without internet thru Apple Airport Express

Can I do an Apple TV viewing of my PCs iTunes without internet thru Apple Airport Express?

Other than for purchased movies/TV shows, yes. You will need the internet to homeshare protected content though.

I Phone 5, not connecting to Apple Airport Express Wifi

I have a dual issue, I have comcast internet and am using a Arris TG862 all in one modem/router. I recently had comast switch the modem to BRIDGE mode so I can use my apple airport express router for WiFi. Now, since it is active and I can connect via my macbook pro, I pad2, etc I cannot connect via I phone 5. What is the issue? Did I set up my airport express incorrectly?
Thank you

Sure...
See this Apple article for a Hard reset of a Factory reset.

My Iphone will not accept the Apple airport express as the Wi fi network so I can facetime, how do I fix?

My Iphone (I have a 4s and 3G) will not accept the apple airport express as the wi fi network so that I can face time. How do I resolve this?

What are the exact specifications of the wireless network you've created? (If you're not sure, open Airport Utility on your computer and check the Radio Mode in the Wireless tab). Bear in mind:
- iPhones earlier than the iPhone 4 cannot connect to an "n-only" network - they need b/g compatibility.
- No iPhone can connect to a 5GHz network (Compatibility mode will also fix this).

Will the airport express bought in America will work in china

Will the airport express bought in america will work in china?

Potentially, but you will have to overcome at least two hurdles:
The power outlets used in China differ from those used in the US. The US Express can operate in a range of 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz. China typically uses 220V outlets ... so with the right outlet plug adapter you could operate the US Express there.
The allowed radio channels, on both the 2.4 & 5 GHz band, will also differ. Both governments and military institutions world-wide differ on how much they will tolerate operating a Wi-Fi network outside that particular country's restrictions. For the 2.4 GHz band, you should be okay if you operate your Express within channels 1-11. For the 5 GHz band, the channels that match between both countries are: 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, & 161.

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?
