Can an airport express support wireless and wired connection at the same time

im wondering if i can use wireless and wired connection at the same time

The Ethernet port that the old AirPort Express has got is to connect the AirPort Express to your modem, not to connect another PC or Mac, so you can only connect wireless devices to the AirPort Express.
If you have the new AirPort Express, you can connect a wired PC or Mac and more wireless devices or computers at the same tiem

Can you play music to wireless and wired speakers at the same time?

If you have Airport express, can you play music on speakers plugged into the airport express at the same time as you play from speakers attached to your computer?
Thanks

Yes you can. In the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes main window there is a drop down menu. Select the AirPort Express base station(s) you'd like to send your music to and also select 'Computer'. Not only will it play through all, it will play IN SYNC!
I can't remember with which version of iTunes this was introduced, best to grab the latest version to be sure.

Airport express: use internet and air tunes at the same time?

Hi,
I'd like to use and airport express to create a wirelss network (and so use the internet) AND stream music to my stereo with air tunes - at the same time. Is this possible? So far, I have been able to create a wireless network (and use the internet) OR use the airport express to play music. But whenever my internet works, itune can't find the base station - claiming it "can't be found on the network?"
Can you do both at once?
I'm connecting to an ethernet jack (I'm at a college). It's not a cable modem or DSL. Is this the problem?
Under "music" in the utility configuration. I've selected "Enable Air tunes at the base station." I can't select "Enable Airtunes over ethernet port." When i try to change the network options to allow me to select this "ethernet port" option, I have to tell it how to "distribute IP" addresses. i don't know how to do this, and everything I've tried destroys my internet connection.
I appreciat any help you have to offer. thanks

solution:
My problem ended up being specific to the network I'm using. There is evidently another router on the ethernet system that was assigning my airport express an IP address (192. ...), rather than letting the network DCHP give me a direct IP address (something like 160. ...). The 192 address made it impossible for iTunes to see my express base station, but I was getting internet, passed through this other router.
The fix - and I'm not sure if this is totally kosher - was to manually enter a correct IP address for my base station. I got the IP address by seeing what this other router was sending my computer to get onto the internet. It gave me the correct router and a workable (160. ...) IP address. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to manually pick an IP address on the ethernet, but this one is working for the time being, and now iTunes can find my base station.

Connecting to wireless AND wired network at the same time.

I just bought 2 lacie 500 GB Network Hard Drives with Gigabit Ethernet. One for file storage, the other for a backup of the first drive.
My iMac connects to my DSL router using a Linksys wireless G Access Point, which is in another room in my apartment, due to the genius contractor installing only one telephone jack.
So can I use my iMac's ethernet port to connect to a gigabit switch, and then connect the 2 external HDD to the switch? I don't need the other computers on my network to have access to the external HHD, just my iMac. However I do need to be on the 'net and have access to the external HDDs at the same time.
Thanks

No problem at all, the Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
So drag Airport to the top, Ethernet second and you should be good to go.

Internet won't work with wireless and ethernet connected at the same time. Airport extreme

Why can I not connect ot the internet when both the ethernet cable is connected. The connection is fine when only on wireless and fine when only the ethernet cable is connected but won't work when the cable is plugged in.
any ideas?

opps forgot to set router as bridge turned off NAT and problems solved

Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?

Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?
This is to avoid transmission when I work without the need for wireless

Yes, you can. Just open the web interface of the router. On your browser type the IP address of your router, usually http://192.168.1.1 go to wireless tab and disable it.

Thinkpad 8 - Power and Wired Ethernet at the same time?

Hi. I am looking for a way to have Power and Wired Ethernet at the same time?
I have been looking at USB 3.0 micro cables with a dual USB ports - one for power and one for ethernet (via USB adapter) - but I can't get that to work.
Has anyone tried this? Or found a solution to this?
Thanks!

Lenovo sells a y-cable for the TP8 that does this. Look here. I've not been able to find any cheaper alternatives so I just ordered one of these myself.

Another question. How do you turn off the ATT wireless transmitter? Also, there are more computers connected to the 2Wire network. I will have to set up a wireless pc to work with the Base Station after disconnecting the ATT transmitter. Easy answers for both, I hope?

Using iPad 2 - if i use the slide switch to lock rotation, i cannot unlock rotation, unless i use it to mute sounds. i can't therefore have unmuted sounds and unlocked rotation at the same time??

using iPad 2 - if i use the slide switch to lock rotation, i cannot unlock rotation, unless i use it to mute sounds. i can't therefore have unmuted sounds and unlocked rotation at the same time??

Uh .... Yes you can. You just have to understand how the whole thing works.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

SB X-FI (no front panel) - Can I have speakers (2.0) and headphones connected at the same ti

Hi,?Can I have speakers (2.0 Creative I-Trique 2200) and headphones with mic (Sennheiser PC6)?connected at the same time to the back of the card?The question is related to SB X-FI XtremeGamer Fatalty?(without front panel), as I assume with a front panel it wouldn't be an issue. I'm just trying to find out if the connections on the back of the card allow for that?Thanks,
MarcinMessage Edited by madeinstein on 07-09-200705:06 AM

More than possible. Start with plugging the headphones into the front out jack and the speakers in the rear out. Then it is just a matter of changing the speaker settings and a change in CMSS. When using the headphones set it to headphones, and when you want to use the speakers set it to 4., and in the CMSS settings adjust the fron/rear balance to all rear.

Can't find Airport Express via wireless or wired connection.

I've run across this topic in this forum and a lot of others and nothing I've found has helped resolve the issue. It seems like the one definitive answer I found was to return it to the store, but I'm hoping to avoid that so I figured I'd try once more.
Running Windows XP and using a linksys Wireless-G network card. When I first got the Airport Express I was able to connect to it but then I had some issues with my cable network connection and had to reset everything. Since then I haven't been able to connect to it, and currently I can't find it using the Base Station. Tried resetting it to factory defaults about 10x and I'm still stuck on blinking yellow. I tried connecting it directly with a network cable and even then my computer can't seem to find it.
I tried turning off my firewall, reinstalling the Airport Utility, connecting to the IP address 10.0.1.1 using the "Configure Other..." box and no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks much.

The issue is within the network configuration of the Airport Express. As you mentioned, all hardwired devices can use AirPlay but all wireless devices can't.
Normally, the Airport Express will wirelessly join your existing network, and Airplay will work with all devices. Any reason why you have your Airport Express connected to your router via ethernet?

HT2508 Airport express for more than one device at the same time.

I just set up my Airport Express on my MacBook, but when I try to use this wireless connection on my iPad, I have to disconnect from my existing connection on my MacBook first. How can I use both devices at the same time without having to disconnect?

Hi,
Yes.

How can i use an barcode scanner and a keyboard at the same time on Ipad

HI I am looking to find a way to use a barcode scanner and the on screen key bard at the same time, so far i cant seem to find a way to do it.
Does any one know how this can be done.
thanks

It is possible, I use multiple versions, however Firefox official policy is that you use firefox3.6 or 5 ; not firefox 4 which is not secure and not supported.
The easiest solution may be to use firefox portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 although firefox 3.6 will itself not be supported for much longer.

Can you pair with an iMac and an iPad at the same time?

If you have an iMac and an iPad, is it possible to pair the same Apple Wireless Keyboard with both of them, rather than having to buy two Wireless Keyboards?

I've kind of found an answer to my question, but I'm not totally satisfied. Basically, yes, you can use one Apple Wireless Keyboard with an iMac and iPad, but obviously not at the same time.
To switch the Apple Wireless Keyboard over from working with the iMac to working with the iPad, you first have to "Disconnect" the keyboard in System Preferences > Bluetooth. This frees up the keyboard, making it available for the iPad to access.

Keeping a Officejet Pro 8600 connected wireless and by ethernet at the same time

I have one computer connected to this printer by ethernet, because the computer is to far away to be connected by usb. Whenever I want to print off of a laptop or tablet the printer won't print unless I physically disconnect the ethernet cable. When someone wants to print from the ethernet connected printer, they have to go back and reconnect the cable. Is there a way to fix this? Because quite honestly its a PAIN. I have had other printers from other manufactures that I was able to do this with. I find it hard to believe that HP would have such a backwards and utterly inconvenient setup.

Welcome to the HP Community @zhadum5000 !
I read through your post and wanted to respond to you. The printer cannot connect to both wireless and ethernet at the same time. You can connect wireless and USB however, you cannot combine both network connections. Your best bet would be to either stick with only ethernet, or only wireless.
I hope this helps answer your question!
Have a great day!
