Can I share internet from a airport express via the ethernet port

I have a older airport express that I am trying to you to share the internet with a Marantz AV receiver. I used to be able to share the internet to a PS2 a few years back.
I was able to set up another network parallel to my normal wireless network with an older moonbase style airport extreme using WDS.
I am unsure if this is the limitation that apple has introduced to the unit, or it is a Telstra firewall issue.
Is it possible using a combination of Airport Etremes or expresses to share the internet to a wired unit?

I have a new airport extreme that I use all the time. I was using the older airport express for airplay.
The older airport extreme I just pulled down from the cupboard trying to get the AVR connected.
Since posting I have able to use the Airport extreme to connect the AVR via the ethernet port.
Still curious why I cannot connect using the airport express.
Interestingly the older airport extreme pushed the new airport extreme into WDS mode. Tried to hook up the express and it did not work.

Airport express and the ethernet port

Since January, I've had my older g/b model of airport express set to "join the network," which is an 802.11n airport extreme connected to my cable modem. Until last week, the ethernet port of the airport express could be used to connect in my DVD player or TV. I could do software updates on the DVD player, and watch youtube on the TV, etc. The connection became slow last week, so I decided to reconfigure the airports. Since then, the ethernet connection to the airport express is no longer recognized.
Please note, although the airport express is not an "n" model, this set-up did work just fine! The DVD or TV was automatically able to display my IP address. The express has a green light, it has no errors in Airport Utility, and AirTunes still works just fine — it's only the ethernet port that has become completely inactive.
Any thoughts?

Not sure how you managed to do this with an 802.11g AirPort Express unless you had it configured to extend the wireless range of the 802.11n AirPort Extreme in a WDS. As far as I know, the ProxySTA (wireless Ethernet bridge) capability is only available with the 802.11n Express.

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities? Seems like there isn't an option to set this up. Normally you could add/set up this in the airport setup assistant- but that doesn't exsist any longer.
Thanks for any suggestions

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?
Unfortunately you can't, since Apple dropped support of the older AirPorts with AirPort Utility 6.x.
Using some workarounds....not supported by Apple.....you might be able to download and install an older version of AirPort Utility that would allow you to administer the older AirPort.

How can I use Airport Express (2004 version) ethernet port?

I am using a Time Capsule to access the internet. Now I would like to use my old AE to "root" that internet connection via the ethernet port to my WD HD TV Live (or Notebook w/o wifi).
I know that it is possible with the newer airport express version coz a friend has it setup. But I could not make it work with the AE 2004.
The latest available firmware is 6.5.3 while on the AE 2008 it is 7.5.2
Any suggestions?

dirk2gently, welcome to the discussion area!
Unfortunately, your older version of the AirPort Express does not have the capability to "extend a wireless network", so you'll need to use the 802.11n version of the AirPort Express to do what you want to do.

Trying to connect my wired PC to the wireless airport express via the wireless router.

Trying to connect my wired PC to the wireless airport express via the wireless router. TP-link wired/wireless router. Ultimate goal is to send music from iTunes on PC to wireless router, then to airport, then to reciever. The amber light is blinking. Thanks in advance for the help!

If I'm understanding right your need and your computer has wired access to your network/router, all you have to do is give your AX wireless or wired access to your network too.
Wired should be easier. Just use a network cable to connect to the router. Power up the AX and look for it on AirPort Utility, do so without changing any of your computer settings. If it's visible, then on iTunes your AX should be visible on the AirPlay icon at the bottom-right corner.
If you want to connect your AX to your router wirelessly I would suggest to reset your AX settings by pressing and holding for a few secs the reset button next to all the ports. Once it is reset, using your computer try to look for the wireless network it'll be creating, it should be something like Apple Network 4341eb. Join that network and, using the AirPort Utility, configure your AX as a network client. Go to Wireless > Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network.
Select your router wireless network from the drop-down menu, select the appropriate security and type in your password. Click update.
It'll restart and automatically join your network. Have your computer join back your router network and, again, in iTunes bottom right you should be able to see the AX speakers.
Let me know if this worked.

Airport Express as an end point on a wireless network and connect a computer via the ethernet port?

Can I use my Airport Express as an end point on a wireless network and connect a computer via the ethernet port? - I'm wanting to connect a computer that does not have wireless and is in another building.

The requirements for this to work are:
1) The AirPort Express must be the 802.11"n" version. Model Number is A1264
2) There must be adequate wireless signal stength where the Express will be located
3) The Express must be configured to "join" the wireless network with the option checked to activate the Ethernet port

Why can't I get internet from my AirPort Express?

I have an AirPort Express. I have three iPhones, two MacBooks, one iMac, one iPad, two Xbox 360's, a Wii and an HP printer connected to it. My dad has a toshiba laptop running windows vista and I can't get internet from it. I can connect to the AirPort Express just fine. I have exelent signal and all. But when I try to go online it says I dont have any internet. I ran the diogostics and it said theres no internet connection when clearly there is when I have all these devises connected to it without any problem at all. Can someone please help me out and tell me why and how I can fix it?

Hi - I just upgraded from an Airport Extreme to Time Capsule. The MacBook Pros and old iBook went on the new network fine, but my Toshiba did the same thing as yours. After hours of trying to figure out the settings myself (including reading this forum), a couple of calls to Apple and lots of troubleshooting they referred to me Toshiba. It took two calls to Toshiba (and a $49 troubleshooting fee), but it's now working. The second tech took over my computer remotely, deleted the old Atheros network software and did an upgrade. It's working great now! Good luck.

Trying to share internet connection using Airport Express

I have an internet connection via a Verizon Wireless broadband card in the Express Card slot in my MacBookPro. I share this connection to my iMac via Airport and I have an Airport Express card connected to a printer & stereo. However, when I establish the Airport internet connection (internet sharing in System prefrences) it establishes a wireless network in the MacBook (I think) as evedinced by the Airport signal (fan) logo changing to a vertical arrow. This precludes connecting to the Airport Express (the Airport Express network is not shown in the Airport pull down menu, only the MacBook network). My question is: can I somehow share the internet connection using the Airport Express network???

ejagnut, Welcome to the discussion area!
Configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network created by your MacBook Pro. The directions can be found in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

Does the newest Airport Express not serve ethernet port internet?

I have DSL to my tower with an 802.11N Airport card, I used the Airport Utility to 'make a new network' with an Airport Express 802.11N connected to my home theatre, and it works fine streaming iTunes.
The cable co. makes you register the MAC address of the machine that will be served by the DSL modem, and allows up to two other addresses if phoned in otherwise any other MAC address attached direct to the DSL will not get a signal.
I have made the network 'closed' and WEP2, then used the MAC address exclusions in Airport Utility to add a bit of extra protection.
Under this set up I was under the impression that the tower would still serve DCHP addresses wirelessly to the Express to anything that knew the network name and password.
The previous generation of Express used to be able to allow you to plug in a PDA with an ethernet card and be serving the ethernet, what is the problem with continuing that on the newest version? I see no point in being tied down to where ever the cable co. installed the modem just to use my PDA on the net, or cart the tower around the house to PDA connect to.
The stupid Express was a great solution for that previously...walk to a wall socket plug in establish the network and connect something to the ethernet port.
With previous Airport Utility software it was fairly clear as to whether you have turned on the ethernet port of the Express to serve an internet connection, with the latest AU software it is not.
I CANNOT serve any DSL signal through the Express no matter what setting I have tried. Turning off the firewall settings, MAC addy exclusions, 'closed' network to open, and attempting to reset the Express with something other than the bridge configuration makes no change (or functional) signal service to the Express.
I even imagined I would have to go through System Preferences and turn on Internet Sharing (sub selections, Share your connection from: "Built-In Ethernet" and further selection "To computers using: Airport"
The only thing I didnt try tinkering with was the Web Proxy (HTTP) protocol selection as Glimmerblock uses that to help do its job, but that also doesnt make sense to downstream blocking the ethernet port from serving a web connection.
If I try the other Simple Setup selections under AU software, I royally lose detection of the Express and otherwise does not do any favors for making this work. Someone here told another person to use the setup assistant chosing "Join existing network" but thats wrong, the tower cant make the network with just the Airport Card alone, it needs the Express available to 'make a new' network... you cant even access any panels of Airport Utility without the Express being reset and ready for programming with the AU software.
Is there a way to make the port serve outgoing internet signal grabbed wirelessly from the tower?
Mucho appreciato if someone could suggest what is up.

No no, not an unsecure network, Im saying once the basic Assisted setup was followed in the previous OS 10.4 for Airport, you could go back in manually and set things to WDS which supposedly was the only way to go CableModem~Tower~Airport to Express~out express ethernet port to wired only machine.
Ive tried doing it that way for this newer Airport Utility and its frustrating as blankity, the only way to make a wireless network is between the tower's airport card to the express, you cant make just a network with the built in Tower Card at all. Then you could force the express to join it, otherwise it wont work.
I tried the WDS Main/Remote/Relay settings both ways with the Airport ID addresses for the tower AND express, switching them hoping one works, all I get is infinite loop of having to reenter the airport setup password when the express is updated and rebooted.
It wasnt this intricate before, is all Im saying. All it took was setting to WDS mode after going thru basic setup, checkmarking the box, updating the unit, restarting and there, the express served the wired client through the ethernet port.

Can't share Internet from Mac to AirPort Extreme via Thunderbolt Ethernet

Hey there!
I'm trying to essentially use a 2013 AirPort Extreme as an AP for the network. It's connected via WAN to a Mac via a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter.
I'm having a hard time telling OS X (10.10)/ OS X Server that I want it to take the Internet from "iPhone USB" and share it with "Thunderbolt Ethernet". With or without OS X Server's DHCP/DNS "help". I've been experiencing issues with Internet Sharing for years on OS X, so the fact that I'm having an issue today is no surprise, I'm just hoping someone out there has a solution.
If I go back to Internet Sharing in System Preferences, the "share Internet connection from" combo box is blank, rather than showing "iPhone USB".
Also, I'm unsure as to whether I should be using OS X Server... I know it's not necessary for simple Internet connection sharing, but I'd like to use DHCP and DNS services with this setup at least eventually.... Obviously just getting Internet to the AirPort is first-priority.
Any ideas?

Hello Kevin,
Let me try to get this straight, it seems like you want to bridge the fee-based wifi network and your home wireless network using your MB.
I don't know if you have done the following steps already on your MB:
1) Choose Apple > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
2) Select Internet Sharing.
3) Choose a network service from the “Share your connection from” pop-up menu, AirPort in your case.
4) Select a networking service to share your Internet connection from the “To computers using” list, ethernet in your case.
Sorry, yes indeed it is straight from Mac Help titled "Sharing your Internet connection." and it sounds like you have done the sharing part already. You wrote about something wrong with your MB. It might be helpful to write what is wrong with your MB, AirPort Extreme, or your "other computers." Preciseness can definably help us help you.
May you solve the problem.

Can I connect remotely to my AirPort Extreme via the Internet?

I would like to connect to the AirPort Extreme at my home when I'm on the road via the Internet and access the USB drive attached to the Extreme. The Extreme is connected to my existing DSL modem, so I can't / don't want to use the PPP dial-up mode.
Any guidance from the community would be appreciated!

The following are the basic steps to configure access to an AirPort Disk from the Internet. Note: These instructions assume that the AirPort is the only router in your network configuration. That is, it is directly connected to the Internet modem and there are no routers upstream of it.
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn,) and then, note the IP address shown.
Select Manual Setup.
Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
Click on Update.
To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
Enter the DynDNS-provided Domain Name or Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
Click Connect.
You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
Click Connect.

Where can i see the log files from an airport express with the new airport program 6.0 ?

hello together,
does anybody know whre i can see the logfiles from an ape with the new airport utility '?

You cannot see them because they are not there in AirPort Utility 6.0
You can see them if you download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
Keep both AirPort Utility 6.0 and 5.6 on your Mac and use the one that you like.

Can I share music from iPad and PC via home sharing?

There are two accounts, one on each, because I fouled up when I bought the iPad; different email etc. and in the confusion I ended up with two accounts. I cannot 'merge' accounts but is there a way via home sharing to transfer? (Now just purchasing from one account!)
Thanks.
