Can hotspot of iphone work in bridge mode of airport express ?

I wanna share internet from iphone.
the hotsopt of iphone->bridge mode of airport express->ronter->nas,pc,ipad...etc
how to setup this net in my house?
THX

Yes, the Express will work as wireless bridge.. join a wireless network. It then plugs by ethernet into the router. But the router should be working in bridge also so it is really just a WAP. Then you plug in your NAS PC iPAD etc.. that is if the iphone is going to have the ability to handle dhcp from all those devices.. otherwise you have to use the router in NAT mode, which will cause double NAT issues.
BTW this is all wrong.. buy a 3G/4G wireless router. It is far superior setup. And since you will simply be chewing your data allocation it is better to buy the device for the job instead of creating a hydra.

  • Using a Dlink router in bridged mode with Airport Express

    I have a broadban connectiond via a Zyxel P-660 wifi modem + router.  I have connected the Airport Express to this modem via ethernet and set up a wifi network. The wifi on the Zyxel has been turned off.
    Since the wifi signal is weak in the other rooms, I am planning to link up a Dlink DIR-600 router running on the DD-WRT firmware on the bridged mode with the AE.
    What settings do I need to have on the Dlink ?

    I am planning to link up a Dlink DIR-600 router running on the DD-WRT firmware on the bridged mode with the AE.
    If you are planning to have the Dlink device pickup the wireless signal from the AirPort Express and then "repeat" that signal, it is extremely unlikely that this will work.
    Apple uses proprietary settings for their "extend" feature, which will only work with other Apple routers. It is....as far as we know....not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.
    What settings do I need to have on the Dlink ?
    All you can do is try to follow Dlink's instructions to setup the device as a "repeater" or "relay". The DD-WRT Forum might provide some tips. As you might imagine, there will not be much chance of a Dlink user ever seeing your post on an Apple forum.
    DD-WRT Forum :: View topic - D-link DIR-600
    There are no settings on the AirPort Express to adjust for this other than the obvious setting to check the box next to "Allow this network to be extended" on the Wireless settings page.
    Good luck  

  • Bridge mode in airport express

    Is it possible to set up an airport express in the bridge mode?
    I had to switch from an Airport extreme to the phone companies router, so I no longer can use my Airport Extreme.

  • Bridge mode for Airport Express or DSL modem?

    I bought a new DSL modem (Netgear Broadband ADSL modem DM111PSP) to replace my old Westell.  I also bought the new Aiport Express station (2012 model) to create the WiFI network at home.  At the moment, the AE is in Bridge mode so that the DSL modem is on PPPoE to be the one assigning IP's for 3 portable Macs (2 on Wifi and 1 on Powerline->Ethernet).  My ISP is AT&T.
    I wonder if  anyone can answer my following questions:
    1) When Apple claims that the AE can support up to 50 concurrent users using the Internet, does that also apply to the AE in Bridge mode?
    2) Can my ISP detect the fact that I have 3 computers with the current setup and start charging me more?
    3) What will happen if I put the modem in Bridge mode and AE in PPPoE?  Can my ISP still track the same info in (2)?
    Thank you so much.
    My computers (1 MacBook Pro and 2 MacBooks) are all on OS 10.6.8.

    I thought AE cannot assign IP's once in Bridge mode.
    That is correct. DHCP and NAT services are turned off when the AirPort Is configured in Bridge Mode.
    If both modem and AE assign IP, would that create 'Double NAT' error?
    Correct. Either the modem/router has to be in Bridge Mode and the AirPort handles DHCP and NAT.....or.....the modem/router handles DHCP and NAT and the AirPort is set up in Bridge Mode.
    There are upsides and downsides to either approach. The simplest setup is to let the modem/router handle DHCP and NAT and configure the AirPort in Bridge Mode.
    However, if you were planning to use the Guest Network feature of the new AirPort Express, then the modem/router must be configured in Bridge Mode and and the AirPort handles the DHCP and NAT.

  • Can't get my TC to work in Bridge mode...

    I installed Time Capsule TC to my exsisting network, that has a Linksys router.  Can't get my TC to work in Bridge mode.  Suggestions?
    I have the TC directly connected to the router and want to use the TC for wireless Time Machine back ups and to share other hardrives via
    the network.  I also have an old airport express for airplay speakers in one room.  And an airport extreme that I thought I had set up to extend
    the network wirelessly.  I have yet to find a concise and clear list of steps to make this happen. 
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Holly

    The problem is the steps changed with the new airport utility..
    I can tell you the steps on a 5.x utility. If you run Lion then download the real tool.

    Go to manual setup.. internet tab.. connection sharing.. select off, bridge mode.. update the TC..
    Wasn't too hard was it.

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 for details.
    Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Airplay is stop working but network connection ok: airport express

    Hi,
    I hope someone could help me, I can't find the solution.
    I have an airport express which I use for internet access and airplay.
    Sometimes when I awake (from sleep mode) my MBP (running OSX 10.6.8) airplay doesn't work anymore. It means Itunes says that remote speaker airport express cannot be found and airport utility can't find the airport express either. But internet connection still works perfectly!
    So I have to reboot the MBP to get back my airplay service, the problem seems to be on the mac.
    I have updated airport utility and airport express to the latest firmware, so I don't have any other idea.
    Would you have ideas?
    Thanks!

    Found the fix under a different search. Turns out the Linksys router was blocking the iTunes. Have no idea why it would show up momentarily and then disappear though. In any event, the fix is:
    I have a wired Ethernet network and run through a Linksys cable/DSL 4-port router. Model #BEFSR41. Here's how we fixed the problem step-by-step:
    1) Open a browser window and access the router control panel by typing in 192.168.1.1
    2) Click on the "Security" button at the top of the screen
    3) There are two subnav options under Security. Click on "Filter IP" (I believe it's already highlighted.)
    4) At the bottom of that page, there is a set of four or five radio buttons. One of them says "Filter Multicast". Mine was disabled. CLICK THIS TO ENABLED.
    This fix comes directly from this post about getting Apple TV to work:

  • How to connect a Linksys WES610N Bridge to an Airport Express network

    I'm surprised I haven't been able to find an answer to this question anywhere online. I haven't even found anyone asking this question!???
    I'm trying to connect a Cisco Linksys WES610N Entertainment Bridge to my Airport Express wireless network. This will allow me to plug my blu-ray player into the bridge and go online for Netflix. (My TV does not have an online option, unfortunately.)
    The setup instructions indicate to press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on my router before pressing the same on the bridge. Of course, Airport Express (assuming that's my router) does not have such a button. I tried turning off security to my network using Airport Utility and trying to connect that way, without success.
    Some help documents from Cisco suggest connecting both the bridge and my computer to a router using ethernet cables and accessing setup through a web-based interface, but again, Airport Express has only one ethernet port, so that's not an option.
    Cisco has very little Mac support :-(
    Hoping the Apple community can help me.

    Okay, so to answer my own question after considerable sleuthing . . . for anyone else trying to do this:
    Connect your computer to the bridge using an ethernet cable, then open a browser and enter the following address: http://169.254.1.250
    This will take you to a login page: leave the username field blank, enter "admin" in the password.
    You will see the Cisco setup page. I selected manual setup and entered the name of my network and password. I got a progress bar and finally the wireless network light on the bridge started flickering.

  • How can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.

    how can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.
    I have LCD projector on one wall and connected ATV to it via HDMI.
    Speakers on the other wall and connected to APXpress.

    To be honest the times we've wanted to have music from more than one set of speakers, I've usually used my mac's iTunes library and controlled it either from the mac or from my phone, since they're not really the times we have any TV on anyway. I've tested AirTunes from the Apple TV but can't recall whether it worked with content from a streaming library.
    Now I've got something to do.

  • Can my old HP print from my iPad using airport express

    Can my old HP print from my iPad using airport express.
    If yes what can be done.
    Thank you.
    Merry Christmas

    You might be able to get the iPad to print to the HP by installing an App like Print Central on the iPad.
    There are no guarantees that this will work, so worst case you will be out about $10 U.S.

  • Can you share iTunes music w/Apple TV and Airport Express?

    Can you share iTunes music between Apple TV and Airport Express?
    I have been very happily using 2 Airport expresses to share my itunes library from my iMac to 2 other rooms. I just bought an Apple TV for the bedroom (and I ASSUMED to replace the Airport Express), and can not figure out any possible way to have the same music in 3 rooms any more.
    Anybody have any ideas?

    I think you may have misunderstood the OP, I believe they wish to be able to walk from room to room and listen to the same music over the tv and the express. itunes will send music to the tv and the express at the same time but in two different streams, so even if you chose the same music over each device it would be quite difficult to sync.

  • Can I set up to connect 2 or 3 airport expresses to have a stronger wifi signal for a larger area?

    can I set up to connect 2 or 3 airport expresses to have a stronger wifi signal for a larger area?

    Theoretically yes. It will really depend on your situation. Please review the following Apple Support article to understand what is possible with the AirPort base stations and post back with any questions or help in setting up your extended network.

  • Can the WAN port be used as LAN when AirPort Express (2nd Generation) is setup to join a wireless network?

    Can the WAN port be used as LAN when AirPort Express (2nd Generation) is setup to join a wireless network? (IE: 2 LAN ports)
    I haven't been able to get a clear answer on this. I believe the 1st generation would act as WAN/LAN depending on setting, but what happens with the 2nd generation?
    Thank you for your time.

    If the Express joins a wireless network wirelessly, in other words its WAN port isn't connected to anything, the correct way to connect a wired client to it is by using its LAN port.
    I don't know what would happen if you were to connect a wired client to its WAN port instead — it's just not supposed to be used for that purpose. It won't permanently break anything if you were to try it though. If you were, the worst that would occur is that your network would become unresponsive as packets continuously traverse its WAN port in a circular fashion, which might require that you power down your router to reset your whole network.
    If you are already using your Express's LAN port and you need another, the way to provide more ports is to purchase an inexpensive ($10 or so) switch. Connect it to the LAN port and as many other pieces of equipment as the switch's available number of ports.
    You're correct about the first generation with the single Ethernet port. It could be used in either capacity depending on its configuration.

  • Where can you get the power cord for a 2012 airport express?

    Where can you get a power cord for a 2012 airport express or the equivalent? I couldn't find one in the online store.

    I'm sure the OP found his solution, but I wanted to share mine in case it helps some future seeker.
    There are a lot of brand new cords on eBay for less than $10 including shipping, which is way cheaper than the $39 stereo connector kit or an AC adapter from a retailer.  I just bought a used-like-new one for $5.50.
    The cord is made by Volex, part number APC7Q.  The Apple part number is M9573LL/A.  If the seller got it from the stereo adapter kit, they'll probably list it under MD836LL/A, which is the kit's part number.  I got the best search results on eBay using just the Volex part number.
    Best of luck!
