AX: No connection when light is green.

My AX doesn't work when the light is green. When I soft reset it, I have 5 minutes of connectivity, but when it goes green, no connection. And it doesn't show up in the Utility. It will show up when the light blinks orange. Hard reset hasn't worked, and I haven't had a successful factory reset.
I believe the firmware (?) is V6.3.
help!

When light is green will I be sure to get a usable signal?

when light is green will I be sure to get a usable signal?

My Airport Express is plugged-in high on a wall and has a green light.
My mac is near it and I do not get a usable signal.
To verify that your Mac is getting a usable signal (or not), you will want to calculate the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) from the location of your Mac.
SNR (in dB) = Signal (in dBm) - Noise (in dBm)
You can easily find the Signal and Noise value using System Profiler on your Mac.
ref: Click on the Apple icon on the menu bar > About This Mac > More Info... > Contents > Network > AirPort > Interfaces > en1 > Current Network Information > Find your wireless network > Signal / Noise
While your still in the System Profiler, note the value for Transmit Rate.
These values should be negative numbers. For example, mine currently read: -67 dBm / -95 dBm, with a transmit rate of 27 (Mbps). Plugging in these numbers yield: SNR = -67 - (-95) = 28. My Mac Mini is about four rooms away from my AEBS with about five walls between them. As you can see, the signal is still quite useable ... but the bandwidth is minimal, especially for streaming.
SNR Guideline
40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
If the green light indicates that is receiving and boosting the signal, why don't I get a signal?
As Bob has already mentioned, a green status light basically is telling you that the base station thinks that it is properly configured. Unfortunately, it does not indication signal or connection quality.
Does "extending" mean increasing [boosting] signal strength and extending the signal to a "close enough" computer or next "Airport Express" in a daisy chain?
Yes, "extending" will boost the signal strength at the location of the extending base station.
Is the strength of the "extended" signal dependent on the strength [adequacy] of the signal received by the Airport Express?
The strength isn't, but the bandwidth is. The following graphic does a pretty good job of explaining it.

Mac OX x 10.8: I can send e-mail; cannot receive e-mail. Connect Doctor lights are green.

I cannot receive e-mail on my new iMac with OS x 10.8 Can send; can retrieve from host server. Both connection doctor lights are green.

In my version of mail, the outgoing settings are a bit hidden. You have to click on the Server Settings... at the bottom of the screen.
I hid my user settings by dragging another window over them. The button is just below the hidden stuff. I forget what 10.1 looked like.
You could try Thurderbird. I use it. I am not sure what version you need. I used 0.7 with Mac OS 10.2. I'd try the last version of 1.x as your first quess. These are in a little harder format to sort out.

ITunes can't connect to my new Airport Express even when light is green and see it with Airport utility. Please help!

Hi,
I'm using iTunes with my iMac and like listen the my music collection in my Hi-Fi which is 20 m far from the Mac. Because of the distance in my flat and other obstacles I'm using a power line. I installed the Airport Express through the Utility and no problems: Airport light is green and configured. iTunes air see it but it can't connect to it.
I made several resets, plugged and unplugged the power and no change, but Airport light is always green, see it in iTunes and the Utility.
This is driving my crazy!
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Hi Jim,
Thanks for reacting to my question.
Yes, I did reboot the router, unplugged and replugged the Airport Express with ro result .... iTunes cannot connect to the Airport Express. I'm using power line to carry Ethernet because between my Mac and AE there are about 20 meters, but problems started since I updated AE version to version 3 ...
It is also non sense because the Utility sees it and then suddenly disappears ! but light remians green ...
I think there might be something wrong with the new firmware versions ...

TS3276 Web through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights.

Went through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights. This started today when I was prompted to re-enter incoming mail server passwords. I re-entered passowrds yet again to make sure they were correct. Rebuilt the inBox. Connection Doctor continues to show all green lights, but am still unable to download mail to the inbox. Has anyone else ever run into this problem?

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

Light is green, but no internet connect

I've restarted the computer, airport express, and unplugged the airport basestation. I've also plugged my computer directly into my apartment's ethernet port - which worked fine. The light is green, and this is an existing unit I've used at my old apartment.
I have all software updates to my computer and the airport express station.
There is another wireless network in the area and I can connect to that with no problems.

Do I understand correctly - you have an Airport Extreme Base Station plugged into your apartment's cabled internet access port. You also have an Airport Express, presumably configured to either "join" or "extend" your Airport Extreme Base Station's wireless network?
And your problem - is that you cannot connect to the internet when your Mac has established a wireless connection to your Airport Extreme Base Station?
Start by confirming the connection between the Base Station and the apartment's ethernet port is to the WAN port on the Base Station - that's the one labelled with the "circle of dots" icon.

I'm trying to hook up my airport express, but everytime I connect it to my router the light is green but none of my apple produces can connect to it what am I doing wrong?

Do I have to hve the air port express connected to a computer or can it be used as a wireless router?

Yes I connected the airport to my router but when my Mac scans it does detect it neither does my iPad or iPhone but the light is green so I know it's connected and thanks for replying by the way :-)

My airport express is setup, the light is green but I have no Internet connection

i have setup my airport express the light is green but I get no wifi

I have a macbook pro 13'' with MAC OS X. Recently bought and installed airport express when it does not drop the WiFi conncetion it works great. Getting frustrated with the fact that I keep losing my WiFi connection, when this happens I check my iphone and I can access the internet do problem while my Macbook pro cannot? After doing some research on the problem I found out that this is not an uncommon problem specially or those who have upgraded to MAC OS X. From what I understand there is a a bug in the WiFi connection chip! Am going to the Apple store today to see what they have to say. I hope there is a fix for this!

My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported"

My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported", I can't charge or sync at all. I tried plug and unplug many time, still can't detect/charge my iPhone5, but sometime will 'lucky' that can connect to my iTunes and charge battery…
This message will auto pop up also when I don't have plug anything in my iPhone 5, It is very annoying…
The lighting cable is original and now i'm using OS 7.0.4 / iTunes is 11.1.3
What I can do to fix this problem? Thank you.

I would try using another cable you can likely borrow one to test from somebody
if it's the same then likely the connector in your iphone have been damaged

HT3371 When I plug in the computer to charge, the light is green for a minute and then turns red and the plug gets very hot. It's not the plug as it works on other computer. Why won't my computer charge?

When I plug in my MacBook Pro to charge, the light is green for a minute and then it turns red and the plug gets very hot. The plug works fine on another computer and charges it. Why won't my MacBook Pro charge?

This didn't work for me, so I did a bit of searching and TONS of pages later in google, I found an answer. Here are the steps for people who also were in my situation:
1. Take off bottom case
2. Unplug battery - blurry image here: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/03cC79r5Dx4/0.jpg
3. Press and hold power button for 5 seconds
4. Plug a charger in, and it should start booting up
5. After shutting down again, reconnect the battery and close the case up
6. It works! (hopefully, if you guys had the same situation I did)

TV Screen says "No signal" when I try to use apple TV. Was working. ie Little Apple symbol would appear on TV screen, but now get "No signal" Internet connection working (light on apple TV)...tried new HDMI cable but still "No signal"

Same exact problem with my Apple TV. Worked like a charm the first two times we used it. Haven't used it in about a month, now no Apple logo when I turn it on, or the logo appears momentarily and distorted, and then an error message from my Samsung HD TV: Mode Not Supported.
What changed?

Hello, My white McBook (2008 or 2009) recently stopped turning on. When I hook up the Magsafe power adapter, the light shows green, but the computer will not turn on, or make a sound. I've tried the re-boot option, but nothing works. Please advise!

Hello,
My white McBook (2008 or 2009) recently stopped turning on. When I hook up the Magsafe power adapter, the light shows green, but the computer will not turn on, or make a sound. I've tried the re-boot option, but nothing works. I first thought I needed a new battery because the lights at the back are all off, but shouldn't the computer turn on once the power adapter is hooked up and the light on the Magsafe adapter shows green? I'm a computer doofus, so please be kind. Please advise! Thanks in advance.

√using successfully airport express for internet/ when hooking up new airport extreme light glows green, but does NOT appear in devices seen????airport wifi devices

using sucessfully airport express for internet
when hooking up new airport extreme light glows green, but does NOT appear in devices sesn in 5.6 airport wifi devices
wanting to use extreme at base and express in another part of the house

How is the express getting internet? What modem is it plugged into?
How is the extreme setup? New extreme cannot be setup with 5.6 utility.. you must use latest 6.3. Which also means you cannot setup from computer using less than Lion .. or you must use iOS with latest utility but it has limited configuration cf the computer version.
IPv6 is also needed.. turn on local link.
