Baffled by non-connecting Airport Express's

Hi guys, hoping someone can help. Here's my issue:
x2 Airport Express's. (Quite old, but still functioning fine.) There is a © symbol on them of 2005 Apple to give you an idea.
Since I changed by router last month, neither will connect to my wifi, to allow me to play iTunes to different rooms in the house. Any suggestions?
To recap....
I am using Mac OSX Lion on a 2009 Mac Mini, and have the proper Airport Utility 5.6 which does see both of them. When setting them up I have them connected to network via ethernet cable. I go through the whole set up process after a hard reset, rename, password, join wifi network, correct password, WPA, then it goes to reset, and flashes orange for the rest of eternity. BOTH of them do this.
What am I doing wrong?

any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong in my process of setting an Airport Express up from cold, to stream music?
In order for the AirPort Express to connect correctly to a wireless network, three conditions must be matched up exactly.
1) Wireless network name.....most users know this
2) Wireless network password....most users know this
3) Wireless network security setting.....few users know this
It is 3) that throws off most users when they try to configure the Express to join an existing network. If you are using an Apple router, checking to see about 3) is not difficult.  If your wireless router is furnished by your Internet Service Provider, 3) may be more of a challenge

  • How to Connect Airport Express to Existing Wireless Network (Client Mode)

    I am posting this for everyone tearing their hair out trying to connect the Airport Express to your own existing home wireless network. After spending 2 hours last night installing this on my father-in-law's home network, I hope to be able to save someone else the agony we went through.
    So here's the situation:
    Say you already have your own home network set up, and all you want is to be able to use AirTunes to play music off iTunes into your speaker system. And, you don't need the printer sharing capability nor creation of another wireless network (2 of the features of Airport Express). Then this solution is for you - read on.
    Unfortunately, Apple's user manual is very unclear how to connect Airport Express to your own network. When you look at the picture diagram they provide, they show Airport Express picking up its signal from another Apple-oriented base. This can make you think you need to buy another piece of hardware to make it work. DON'T If you read through the manual, the Support section here, etc., you will hear lots of talk about "Client Mode" - and that this is the only way to get it to work. Nice - but no one really tells you how to set up the Airport in client mode.
    Do yourself a favor, toss that user manual aside and run these steps.
    (Note: These directions assume your DSL/Cable Modem is hooked up to a wireless router or acts as its own wireless router)
    1. Get a cat5 Ethernet cable (anything but an orange cable - that's a crossover cable) like you would use to connect your PC to your router to pick up the Internet.
    2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the router on one end, and to the Airport Express unit on the other end.
    3. Plug in your Airport Express unit to the wall (this will not necessarily become its permanent location - you will be able to move it later). The light will glow solid Amber for about 30-45 seconds while it starts up, then blink Amber. At this point, the unit is ready to operate.
    4. Install the CD to the PC where your iTunes music is stored. This should be painless. Once you open the program, it should detect the Airport unit.
    5. At this point, the on-screen wizard will present you with your options, and walk you through the setup. This is much like the user manual describes - and you should be good to go form here forward.
    Some pointers:
    - When asked if you want to create a new network, join an existing network, or connect via Ethernet, choose the middle option for joining an existing network. You will need to know the name of your network, the password to connect to the network (if present), and the type of encryption used on the network (e.g. WEP, WPA, etc.). Side note, WPA is recommended, as it is a higher level of security than WEP. You will be able to configure the Airport Express unit to automatically login to your network.
    - I would recommend, when creating a password for the Airport Express unit, use the same password as your network, to avoid confusion.
    6. The very last step will ask you to save the settings to the Airport Express. Here's the kicker - when you save the settings, you are TRICKING the Airport Express into no longer acting as a network broadcaster, but instead being a "slave" to your own network. What do I mean? You will lose the connection from your PC to the Airport Express - an error message will pop up telling you the unit can no longer be found. While you might think you did something wrong, you actually were successful!
    7. Unplug your Airport Express, and disconnect the Ethernet cable from your router and the Airport unit. This will no longer be needed.
    8. Go to your desired location where you want to plug in your Airport Express unit. Before plugging it in, connect your Audio cable from the Airport Express to your audio receiver. Once that is connected, then plug in the Airport Express unit. The light will glow solid Amber for 30-45 seconds while it loads, and then will blink Amber for a brief period of time before turning solid GREEN. When this happens, you have successfully connected the Airport Express to your home network!
    9. Go back to your PC with iTunes. Open the Airport software - you should now have a listing for your Airport Express unit in the upper left. Click on this, and the wizard will guide you through connecting - you will need the password you created for the unit. You only need to go through this wizard once, and when finished, the software will tell you that can now use iTunes with your Airport unit.
    10. Open iTunes. On the lower right, you will see a dropdown for Speakers, and it should be defaulted to My Computer. Click on that drop-down, and you will see the name of your Airport unit. Click on that name, and now your music will broadcast to the Airport unit!
    11. Play a song in iTunes. Go to your audio receiver, and connect it to the channel for your external connection to the Airport Express unit. You should hear your music from iTunes. CONGRATULATIONS! =)
    I hope these instructions were helpful - I am happy to answer any questions, so feel free to contact me, *******************@*****.**.

    Thanks for the detailed directions. You are absolutely correct in stating that people should toss the user manual; it's pretty worthless. I have had a problem setting up my new Airport Express as I have described in an earlier post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1839873&tstart=45
    One quick question - does using your setup process set the AE up as part of a distributed network where the AE is acting as a wireless router where it is extending the range of your network? Or, is it simply a wireless connection to your stereo for iTunes? I am interested in having both, since my AE will be at the other end of the house from the main wireless router.
    Thanks

    Have you tried using a WEP password for your wireless network instead of a WPA one? That fixed it for me.

  • Cannot connect airport express to ipad I keep receiving the message: "an unexpected error occurred" when I try to connect my Ipad to my airport express.  Does anyone have a solution?

    cannot connect airport express to ipad
    I keep receiving the message: "an unexpected error occurred" when I try to connect my Ipad to my airport express.  Does anyone have a solution?

    I could not "see" my Express via my wireless router or via the Airport Utility until I reset it to Factory Settings by unplugging it then holding in the tiny reset button while plugging it back in, waiting for the flashing yellow LED signal before letting go.
    Then I set it up to DHCP - "connect to wireless network" and DOWNGRADED the firmware to 7.3.x
    I would tell you the exact Firmware but I can no longer "see" the Airport express............ AGAIN or still.....
    BUT at least I am listening to music streaming from my MacBook Pro... Hmmm.
    I log back into the router (Linksys WRT110) and it no longer shows the Airport Express as a DHCP client AND the Airport utility can no longer "find" any Airport Devices..
    So if I don't move, or there are no cosmic events, or maybe my KARMA is effecting the device or my "VIBES" are good, but I'm not sure if will continue to work.. Sure would like to use this little device from hel*.
    Since I have had this Airport Express I have spent many hours trying to get it to work.
    It works just long enough to fool me and then takes a dump...
    Maybe this time?
    5 Minute later...
    Music was playing. I went into iTunes and switched from Airtunes to Computer speakers. When I tried to switch it back GUESS WHAT?
    [An unknown error (-15006) occurred while trying to connect to remote speaker "Airtunes"]
    Wonderful Green LED though. Totally useless piece of equipment AFAIK.

  • Connect airport express to router wifi not apple

    I already have a wifi router is not Apple, I have already configured iPhone and iMac to wirelessly, now I need to connect my hi-fi via an airport express (via wifi of course) I can connect "airport express" to a wifi router does not Apple via wifi?

    now I need to connect my hi-fi via an airport express (via wifi of course) I canconnect "airport express" to a wifi router does not Apple via wifi?
    Yes, the AirPort Express can "Join" virtually any wireless network if you know the name of the network, the exact type of wirelss security that is being used on the network and the wireless network password.
    The Express will work for AirTunes and/or allow you to connect a printer when it is configured this way.
    But....the Express cannot provide any additional wireless coverage for the network when it is configured to "Join" the network, so it will not "repeat" or "extend" the wireless network in this type of setup.

  • Can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously

    I can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously.  My old AE allowed this but can't make the new one work that way. 

    In your instructions, you say to use the same encryption type as the router has set up. well, I am using the WEP 64 bit encryption and the Airport Utility does not have this...it has 40 bit. Is this a problem, or do I have to be using a the same type of encrytion ?
    WEP is available in either 40 or 104-bit, but is usually "advertised" as either 64- or 128-bit respectively. For example, 64-bit WEP uses a 40 bit key (also known as WEP-40), which is concatenated with a 24-bit initialization vector (IV) to form the 64-bit RC4 traffic key. So, WEP 64 on the Linksys & 40-bit is equivalent.
    What concerns me more is the loss of bandwidth performance you are experiencing when connecting the AX. When the AX is configured as a wireless client it is acting just like any other wireless devices (computer, laptop, printer, etc.) and not like another router. This should cause little or no bandwidth loss. True the more secure the wireless encryption used WPA2 vs. WEP, the more overhead is required for security, but the differences you are seeing seem excessive.
    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing your Linksys from providing a good clean signal.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:
    For Macs:
    o MacStumbler
    o iStumbler, or
    For PCs:
    o NetStumbler

  • Cannot connect Airport express wireless

    Hello, cannot connect airport express wireless to linksys router.  Connected now with ethernet  cable but cannot figure wireless connection. My laptop cannot find the express while preforming setup scan, yet I'm connected to it.  I can connect with my iphone but not wirelessly. Any suggestions?

    ....I was then told over the phone that airport express will not connect to third party routers.
    This is NOT correct.
    The AirPort Express will connect to a wireless network if you know the following:
    1) The name of the wireless network
    2) The exact setting for wireless security that the network is using
    3) The wireless network password
    Most users know 1) and 3), but very few know the exact type of wireless security settings that their wireless router is using. The Express will not connect to the wireless network unless it receives all of the information listed above.
    So...we will assume that you know the name of the wireless network and the password for the network.
    Do you know the exact type of wireless security setting that your wireless router is using?  If not, the Express will not connect.
    You may need to check the setup of your wireless router....or if the router was supplied to you by an Internet Service Provider, they may be able to tell you what type of wireless security setting is being used.
    Post back when you have this info and we will proceed. There are still no guarantees that the Express will connect....but at least there may be a chance.

  • While connecting airport express, the airport utilities shows airport express but no set up menu

    trying to connect airport express for music streaming. already have time capsule. Airport utilities show airport express but no setup options at all.

    What version of AirPort Utility do you have?
    Please look on the side of the AirPort Express for the model number.....starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.......and post back with that info.

  • How do i connect airport express to blue ray player

    wondering if i can connect airport express to blue ray player using usb for streaming, etc?

    Good question. The single port on the AirPort Express places it somewhat at a disadvantage in a situation like this. It's tempting to think that a setup like this will work:
    Modem > Ethernet Switch > Express & Blu-Ray Player both connected to the switch
    But, unfortunately, it won't. The reason is that the modem has only one IP address it can deliver and it can't go to two devices at the same time. It will be matter of chance as to which device...the Express or Blu-Ray Player....gets the IP address. The other device will not be able to connect to the Internet.
    Instead, what is required is a simple "wired only" router connected to the modem. So the corrrect setup will look like this:
    Modem > Wired Only Router > Express and Blu-Ray Player both connected to the router
    The router "shares" the IP address that it receives from the modem (an ethernet switch cannot do this) and provides simultaneous Internet connections to the devices that are plugged into the ethernet ports on the router.

  • Can't connect AirPort Express to Linksys WRT54GX

    I tried connecting the AirPort Express wirelessly after resetting it, but was unable to because it couldn't connect to our network. We then tried connecting directly to the router to rename the Base Station, but the AirPort Admin Utility does not recognize it. Can anyone help?
    If you have a response respond to this, I'd appreciate it if you would post here and also send an e-mail to [email protected] as the address on here is incorrect. Thank You.

    This looks like the answer i've been looking for having spent half day trying other approaches. Agree with comment below that instructions with AE from Apple are totally inadequate but frankly, disagree with solution as this disadvantages almost every grandma/pa, non computer adapt person in the world and perpetuates the approach from manufacturers that it is our problem if their products dont work. My local Apple shop is closed on Sundays so i will probably try this solution but really, if it does not plug and play with the minimum of fuss, and if the manufacturers dont support their product then simply take it back to the shop and demend your money back. I dont even bother re-wrapping such products anymore. You can bet your bottom dollar that if every person that had searched this forum for a solution to what appears to be a common problem had simply returned the product we would not all be spending our free time trying to get products working using inadequate instructions.

  • Cannot Connect Airport Express 802.11n to WEP 64 Bit Wireless Network

    I am currently use a Netgear MR814 who's only built in security is WEP 64bit.
    I am attempting to connect my Airport Express 802.11n to it and I see the WEP 40 bit option and use that and it puts in my password for the wireless as 0xPASSWORD.
    However it is unable to connect to the network. I scoured these forums and attempted the "$" escape character and the "" option by none of these work.
    Is there a way for me to configure my AE to be able to connect to my (older) wiresless router?

    I found information indicating that this airport express must be set up by airport utility 5.6.1, but that version is not supported by Lion.
    AirPort Utility 5.6.1 is not supported by Lion....it was designed for Snow Leopard.
    You need the correct version of  AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
    Give the correct version a try and then please report on your results.

  • Cannot Connect Airport Express to Airport Extreme Base Station

    I have just purchased a new Airport Extreme Base station and have it configured and running properly.
    I would like to use my Airport Express to play Air Tunes and have tried to join my Airport Express's network. I have not managed to get this to work.
    I have tried to configure the Airport Express manually and in Assist Me mode but every time it reboots to reconfigure the unit, it continues to flash amber. I have done numerous hard resets and followed the methods discussed in other posts but cannot get the unit to connect.
    I am running the latest firmware on both units.
    Has anyone solved this problem? If so, please help!

    Shallers...you are not alone.
    I spend several hours this past weekend trying to get a brand new Express to work with a brand new Extreme station using all Apple computers.
    Still no luck, after a gazillion permutations.
    I really like the Extreme, it works very well, even with non-Apple devices.
    The Express is going back....gawd awful thing from the Darkness.

  • Connect airport express to Motorola 3347

    I want to connect my airport express to the Motorola Modem so I can run an network cable from the AX to my xBox
    I have read most of the discussions on linksys and the airport express but none really can be used for the Motorola 3347 Modem.
    I tried the regular setup and added it as a client with no problems what so ever however that does not allow any internet connection through the Ethernet port.
    I tried having it connect and extend a current network however since it is not a airport extreme or express base station that would not work either.
    I am sure that I will need to connect by WDS however cannot quite figure it out or get the information from the motorola that is needed.
    Looking for any advice thank you in advance.

    Well, if I understand your networking requirements, you would like to provide Internet access to your XBox ... which is not wireless capable. To do so with the AX would require that you plug the XBox into the AX's Ethernet port. In turn, to activate the AX's Ethernet port, the AX must be reconfigured as a remote base station in a WDS with your Motorola router. Therein lies the rub. I seriously doubt that you will be able to create a WDS between them.
    Your other option would be to connect the XBox directly to the Motorola, but I'm assuming that they are not in the same room ... and why you wanted to extend your network in the first place. Another option would be to acquire a second AXn; connect one to the Motorola via Ethernet, and then create a WDS between the AXns.

  • Connect Airport Express to Buffalo AC1750 Router

    I replaced an older airport extreme with a buffalo AC1750.  I never gave any thought to all of the existing functionality I was about to goof up.  I have an older printer upstairs connected to my network via USB to an airport express and another stereo also connected via a second airport express.  the expresses are both 1st gen.
    No clue if this is important but I have a mac mini hooked up that has all of my itunes that I screen share with to connect over the network.  My main computer is a macbook pro.
    1. can I connect the airport EXPRESS to my buffalo router?  if so, how? 
    2. I still have my older extreme.  if the expresses can't be hooked up, can this be used somehow?
    3.  If none of the above, how to do non apple people get wireless access points around the house to connect to iTunes and printers?
    Please be gentle.. i'm not a networking scientist.

    1. can I connect the airport EXPRESS to my buffalo router?  if so, how?
    You were probably extending the wireless network previously.. but the apple routers cannot extend wireless to another non-apple router. You can join a wireless router. You will need to open the airport utility and change the setup from extend to join and this is very tricky on v6 utility. You really need a computer running v5 so join wireless which is still a hidden option can at least be found.
    So do you have v5 airport utility available?
    If not you can reset the express and do it again with v6 utility but you must select the correct options.
    I did a post with the method here.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5719954?tstart=0
    2. I still have my older extreme.  if the expresses can't be hooked up, can this be used somehow?
    This might be a better idea anyway.. although it does add complexity.. The problem being that airplay protocol can simply fail to work .. not all routers support apple type systems.
    Reset the extreme to factory and start over. You want it running in bridge mode.. that is router bridge btw.
    Plug into the buffalo by ethernet to WAN port of the AE. You will need to create a wireless network and the Express can still extend that network as before. You can still run into issues.
    Why did you buy the buffalo?? If you wanted better and faster wireless you can swap the network around.. leave the AE as the main router with the express.. exactly as they are now.. and simply use the buffalo as Wireless Access Point.
    Check if it has WAP mode.. if not I can explain how to do it manually with wan bypass.
    3.  If none of the above, how to do non apple people get wireless access points around the house to connect to iTunes and printers?
    Non apple people don't use iTunes.. and generally they use wires.. you know.. permanent hassle free connections.

  • Connect airport express to Thomson GT782T router modem

    I have a non Mac router and modem. I cannot get my Airport Express to connect either wirelessly or by attaching ethernet cable directly to DSL modem. Can anyone help?

    Just to clarify, the "modem and router" you mentioned in your first message is the GT782T, right?
    Assuming it is, and assuming you've got your ISP username and password to hand:
    While the manual for your modem (the GT782T) doesn't go into quite enough detail for me to give you complete step by step instructions, essentially what you need to do is to log into the GT782T and hunt around for an option to switch it into something called bridge mode. This should essentially stop it from acting as a router and instead allow the Airport Express to do that instead, though t's important to be aware that until you do the next part, your internet connection won't work.
    Once you've enabled bridge mode on the GT782T you'll then need to connect it to the Airport Express via the WAN port, then open Airport Utility, select it, click Edit, then on the Internet tab, click the dropdown next to Connect Using and select PPPoE, entering your ISP username in the Account Name box, and the password in, er, the password box, then click Update. The Airport Express should restart, and hopefully come back online with your internet connection in toe .
