Can i connect USB hub to airport express

can i connect USB hub to my airport express & sharing 2 or more printer with one airport express ?!!

It works for me, but I cannot predict if it will for you.
Be sure to try a powered USB that has its own power supply.

  • Can't connect (wireless) to my Airport Express anymore with iBook, iPad or iPhone.

    Can't connect (wireless) to my Airport Express anymore with iBook, iPad or iPhone. It still recognizes the printer on the iBook (bonjour), but not on my Windows notebook (work). The only device that still connects via wireless is the PlayStation 3.

    The latest firmupdate solved the issue.

  • Can I connect an A1084 model Airport Express using current version of Airport Utility

    Can I connect an A1084 model Airport Express using current version of Airport Utility?

    You will need an older 5.x version of AirPort Utility to be able to administer the older AirPort Express.  That would mean that you need to have....or be able to borrow for 10-15 minutes......a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the device.

  • Can't connect to internet through Airport Express anymore

    Suddenly, my PowerBook can't connect to the internet through Airport Express. Monday late afternoon--everything was fine. Put it in sleep, come back a few hours later, can't connect.
    Thing is, Airport/wireless is working. Can stream audio to my home stereo.
    And the DSL/modem are working. If I connect the machine via ethernet directly, I'm online.
    Saw that some other users began having problems with USB/printer connections Monday. Could my problem be related?
    What gives?
    Any ideas?

    Hello mnkyby. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    It sounds like your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) in not getting a proper IP address from your modem.
    Try this ...
    o Connect to the AX's wireless network, and then, run the AirPort Admin Utility.
    o Go to the Internet tab.
    o Note the value for IP address. (Note: Do not list it here on the forum, just note what it is.)
    o Is the IP address what you would expect from your ISP or is it something like: 196.254.x.x?
    If the latter, try the following ...
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, AX, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)

  • Can't connect to an extended Airport Express?

    My network is set up in the following way (see photo) 1 Time Capsule + 2 Airport Express to extend the network.
    No computers or devices can connect to the Airport Express named "AE02"? They all ONLY connect to the middle Airport Express called "AE01" even though they are like 20 cm from AE02??
    What am I doing wrong? Anyone else has this problem?
    Thanks

    Thanks, Huge bummer... How come the Airport Expresses connect that way if not allowed?! 
    I found the answer just like 'Tesserax' pointed out.

  • Can i connect external HD to Airport Express' USB port

    and can connect a USB hub and use an external HD and a printer at the same time?

    and can connect a USB hub and use an external HD and a printer at the same time?
    No. The USB port on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) will only support a single USB printer.

  • Multiple Printers on USB Hub with Airport Express

    I have been testing all day and I think my question is already answered. However, I would like to confirm with the gurus in here: Can AE be hooked up to a powered 4 port USB hub to which three printers are connected?
    In the hardwired situation, there seems to be no problem. All three individual printers are recognized by Printer Setup Utility on the computer to which the USB hub is attached. When I attach the USB hub to the AE and restart the hub, only the first (closest to the USB out cable) is recognized, no matter which one I place in that first socket. And only that first one is seen over the wireless network.
    I was looking for a way to allow other computers in the house to be able to utilize these three different speciality printers (labelmaker, DVD printer and LaserWriter), without having to have the connected computer always on as host.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated-short of buying two more Airport Express units.

    Can AE be hooked up to a powered 4 port USB hub to which three printers are connected?
    Sorry, but no. The USB port on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) can only accept a single USB printer. (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107857)

  • How much power can deliver the USB port on AirPort Express?

    I am developing an appliance that requieres access to a WiFi router and a power source (UL 60950-1 compliant) of less than one watt (100-200 mA @ 3.3V) to power my own WiFi device, and the AirPort Express can be the right device to solve both problems with minimun overhead. The problem is that I cannot find the specification of the current / power limits of its USB port.
    To check if it can provide the usual five unit loads, I tried to charge an iPhone 4, but it fails showing the message "Charging is not supported with this accessory", and an external 2.5" HD which requires 500 mA causes the following message to appear on AirPort Utility:
    USB Power
    A device connected to this AirPort base station's USB port requires more power than this AirPort base station can provide. Plug the device into a power supply if possible, or connect it to a powered USB hub.
    Any insight will be welcome.

    Never mind - I tried "rebooting". I hate it how that always works!

  • Possible/Safe to use a usb hub on Airport Express?

    I'm about to purchase my second external hard drive for backups and I was wondering if it is safe/plausable/possible to plug a usb hub into the USB port of the Airport Express to connect my two hard drives (and maybe a printer) to connect all three of these devices to my local network? Has anyone tried this? I'd to know before I get the usb hub

    Unfortunately, the AirPort Express will not support a hard drive connected to its USB port. Only compatible printers are supported.
    So, while you could connect a powered USB hub to the AirPort Express, it would only function correctly with multiple printers.
    To support a hard drive, you would need an AirPort Extreme.

  • Can i connect a modem to airport express

    Can i connect amodem to airport express...?

    Sorry, but no adapter will make up for the fact that the AirPort Express...or any other Apple router....will not work with a USB modem.
    You will need something like this:

    Make sure that your service is supported before you buy.

  • Using USB hubs on airport express

    I discovered that by using an airport express with the 802.11n network (most recent update model as of this post) is capable of using a third party USB hub for multiple printers. I have an all in one EPSON as well as a wide format EPSON and two DYMO thermal printers. All work fine using the Kensignton PocketHub 7-Port USB which includes an AC adaptor to power devices. I previously had an older Airport express on 802.11g network that could only handle a single printer and was NOT able to support the USB hub. I hope this helps anyone that is searching for network solutions.

    Hi spwolfman,
    Thanks for posting this, this is exactly what I was needed to know, as I need to make 2 usb-based printers wireless.
    I have 3 addtional questions........
    1) You mentioned you have a powered USB hub. Do you need a powered hub to make this work?
    2) Are there any special settings that need to be made to get this to work, or is it straightforward in the airport setup utility?
    3) I have a Linksys Wireless-G hub, will the 802.11n airport express work with this hub?
    Thanks

  • Can I connect USB hubs instead of printer or external disk?

    I plan to get a MacBook Pro and set up a wireless network. I currently have a couple of USB hubs connected to a PC. To these hubs are connected three printers, two external disks, and several other things. I want to be able to get rid of the PC and access these devices from the MacBook wirelessly. Is the AESB the right thing to use for this setup?
    The MacBook Pro will have Snow Leopard as OS.

    Most likely yes. The 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBSn) USB port is capable of supporting a USB hub with multiple USB printers and/or USB hard drives.

  • Can't connect HP laptop with Airport Express

    My gov't agency has just allowed employees to connect to its intranet through wireless connections.  I have an Airport Express which I use for my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad.  No problems.  The work computer is an HP laptop running Windows.  I contacted our tech support and they didn't know what to do and suggested that it may be an Apple problem and that the AirPort will not connect to non-Apple devices.  Is this true?  Do I need to buy a new wireless router?  Anyone with any suggestions on what I can do to get the AirPort to work? 
    Thanks in advance.

    All wireless routers must adhere to the same standards for wireless networks, so there is nothing unique about the wireless network that the AirPort Express is creating. Visiting relatives have no trouble connecting their PCs to the Apple wireless network here at the house.
    Chances are, the Windows Firewall or anti-virus applicaton on the HP may be blocking the attempted connection as a security measure.
    As a last resort, you could also try reducing the security level on the AirPort Express in case the HP is not able to connect to the most secure wireless networks.
    To do this from your MacBook.....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab located below the row of icons
    Change the Security setting to WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Click Update at the lower right and wait 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart

  • I can't connect Slingbox Solo to Airport Express

    my slingbox solo is unable to connect to my airport express. I have the following hardware:
    *Airport Extreme Base Station (in my office)
    *Airport Express (in my living room) that i'm using to extend my network-- I currently have my stereo connected to this device, so I can play through itunes, and it works perfectly fine
    *Slingbox Solo
    I'm trying connect my slingbox solo to my airport express, through the ethernet port, but it won't recognize the network. Is there additional set up required with regards to the network to make this functional?
    Would appreciate any direction....

    The wireless security setting that the Actiontec modem/router is using may be different...and not compatible....than the setting that the Comcast product was using.
    If you think that might the case, and you have the time to troubleshoot......
    Temporarily, turn off the wireless security on the Actiontec modem/router
    Reset an AirPort Express back to default settings, then see if it will connect using no security and allow an Internet connection when you do the Ethernet port test in the post above again.
    If the AirPort Express cannot connect correctly using no security on the wireless network.....then it is a no brainer to know that it will never connect when security is enabled.  So, if the AirPort will not connect using no security, you may have an incompatibility issue between the Actiontec and Apple products.
    However, if the AirPort Express connects OK with no security, then this tells you that you will need to use a different setting for security on the Actiontec...the same that the Comcast router was using before.....so the Express will have a better chance of connecting.
    That setting would be something like WPA/WPA2 Personal, or the same setting stated another way would be WPA-PSK-TKIP.

    THANK YOU

    I am following this as I have a friend who is having the same issue and is running XP Home with SP3. He is on an Acer Aspire 3620. I keep telling him to just go and buy a Mac, but he says he would rather stay offline....LOLOL...(he's been offline for a month now) Anyway... He lives too far away for me to go and help, but everything I have advised him to do has failed. So I'm waiting to see who comes up with an answer here... I am about to tell him to just re-build (re-install windows) his PC.
