Can I use Airport Express with Comcast router and Apple TV?

I want to connect my iPod Touch (version 8.1.2) to a home stereo wirelessly.  I am considering getting an AE Base Station.  I have a Mac mini running OSX 10.9.5 connected wirelessly using a Comcast router.  I also have an Apple TV, which I have not yet connected to my TV.  Here are some questions.
Are there any problems with doing this.  In particular, can I continue to use the Comcast router?
Also, I have seen some comments saying that the cable modem slowed down when AE was added.  Is that true?  Thanks,
Owen

The stereo doesn't have wireless (or bluetooth).
My understanding is that the iPod Touch has a built-in airplay transmitter.
If so,  connecting the AE Base Station to my stereo would allow sending music from my iPod to my stereo.
Is that correct?  Thanks.
Owen

    Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV.  When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers.  Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker.  Why?

    As far as I know, the Airport Express only transmits sounds via Itunes. So every other sound (internet, but also incoming mail) will be coming out of your mac instead of your external speakers.

  • Can I use Airport Express with a USB Hard disk as a NAS solution?

    What have people tried for NAS solutions that work really well wirelessly? Can I use my Airport Express with its USB port to attach a hard disk? Or do I need an Airport Extreme base station? Or some other solution?

    The price of the Time Capsule includes the NAS backup system plus a hardware router for your network.
    Macs do not support USB 3.0 and most likely won't because Apple's weight is behind Thunderbolt which is considerably faster and more versatile than USB.

  • Can I use Airport Express with iPhone in my hotel room?

    Is there a way to set up an Airport Express in my hotel room when I travel, so that the provided High Speed internet cable in the room can be plugged into my Airport Express, giving me a wireless internet connection for the iPhone? I use Airport Express often this way with my MacBook, so I don't have to be tethered to the cable.

    I did this about a month ago when I was in England. I just had the Airport Express with me, and had not done any configurations. I plugged it in and had the iPhone find it. It worked in some hotels, and didn't at others. When it worked it was great. I assume with some of the hotels where it didn't work, that I needed to configure it but since I didn't have my laptop I didn't have any way to configure it. Is there any kind of "universal" or "automatic" configuration you can set it up with?

  • Using Airport Express with Comcast Digital Broadband/Telepony Modem

    I recently converted from Comcast's broadband modem to their combined modem for digital phone and internet. I can't connect both my G5 and the airport express to the modem simultaneously. Airport express set-up configuration shows a broadband modem with 2 ethernet ports. My modem only has 1. The modem is Touchstone Telephony modem by Arris. Has anyone made this type of connection work with this modem?
    Here is my set-up:
    iMac G5 connected via ethernet to telephony/broadband modem (basement)
    Airport Express (basement)
    iBook G4 (1st floor)
    I plan to purchase an airport express base and move the airport express to the 1st floor so I can use the iBook on the 3rd floor. Before I spend the money, I want to make sure this will work.
    Thanks!

    Hi Soraya,
    I assume your iMac G5 does NOT have a Airport Card?
    It seems you will need a Router in order to get all your computers and the Airport Express to connect to the internet.

  • Can i use airport express with motorola SVG1202?

    Hello
    I have a router Motorola SVG1202 ANd an airport express.
    I'd like to know if i can use both together. Airport express like an access point and motorola like a router?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks
    Paula

    In order for the AirPort Express to function as a wireless access point with the Motorola gateway, the Express would need to be connected to the Motorola device using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection.
    The Express would not be able to function as an access point if you were thinking of connecting it wirelessly with the Motorola gateway.

  • Can I use Airport express as a router or wifi modem?

    I'm not good at IT. In fact, i know very little or nothing. So please, do not get annoyed at my stupid question?
    The situation is this: I have a MacBook as described below, and a DSL cable connected straight from my laptop to an Ethernet port provided in my room, not through any modem. I'm living in dorm, so that's how school provides dorm students with internet connection. But sometimes, i've got to stay up late and search for information, but the connection automatically drops since it is "light out" time. Now i' considering buying an Airport Express ( or maybe Airport Extreme) to create wireless network. I really don't get how to set it up or how it's gonna work for my situation. I don't have any modem or router around. Can anyone explain the real function of Airport Express? And if possible, can you please tell me is it better for me to buy Airport Express or Airport Extreme?

    True! I know that i just need to connect that cable from my laptop into the Ethernet network port. The situation is sometimes i need to stay up late to study but don't have connection past 11:30 (light out time, no more connection). And sometimes, i want to go somewhere else and use wireless network where there isn't one available. For example, my friend's house. I also want to know how the set-up of the Airport Express helps me create wireless network. Do I need a modem or a router to connect Airport express to or else? after setting up, do i need anymore DSL cable or so? Does Airport Express itself function as a wireless access point? One more question: if i set up my wireless connection in my dorm, but later i unplug the Airport Express and go somewhere to plug in, will it still work, or i have to set-up the network again?
    I'm not really into network, connection, router or modem much. I don't know much about this stuff. Therefore, i have quite a lot of question. Sorry and thanks for replying me.
    Another problem that arises for in your reply is that, school network is administered by staffs of IT department. If i have to to connect my wireless network to school's cabled network, i think i've got quite a lot of explaining to staffs to do. . Anyway, thanks so much for your information.

  • Problems using airport express with both macs and a windows xp??

    Hi....I have just bought a netbook and my wireless connection that I use at home is via an airport express that works brilliantly on my 2 macs however with the new netbook the connection is intermittent even though it always says its connected to my wireless network.
    I am completely hopeless with pc's and just needed a netbook for occasional use but wish I new why sometimes the internet works on it on the airport network and othertimes it doesnt. I have removed all firewalls and still have the same problem.
    Anyone know a solution or what may be happening as I am at a loss as to why it intermittenty works even though it always says the connection is excellent.
    The macs work just fine!!
    thanks in advance

  • I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers.  How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad?  Can I use AirPort Express?

    I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers.  How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad?  Can I use AirPort Express?

    Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
    In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.

  • Can I use AirPort Express as booster/extender to LinkSys router signal?

    I have LinkSys N router (which I got free, else would've bought AirPort), its signal isn't strong enough in office room.  Can I use AirPort Express as a booster/extender?  Some sources say Express can only talk to another Express, others say it can communicate with the LinkSys.  Which is it?  I don't want to spend the money for two Expresses unless I have no choice (very limited budget nowadays).
    I've been hassling with this for over a month, and I'm extremely frustrated. 
    Thanks to anybody who can help me with this.

    Most likely no. That is because most non-Apple router's implementation of WDS is not compatible ... and this is true the other way around. It is true that some early Linksys models, mainly the WRT-54 series were compatible, but I have not seen anything since then that is.

  • HT1515 How can I use Airport Express (1st generation) with OS X Mavricks?

    How can I use Airport Express (1st Generation) with OS X Mavericks?

    1st Generation AirPort Express will work fine with Mavericks.
    Are you sure that you have a 1st Gen Express?
    Check the model number on the side of the Express. 1st Gen is A1264.
    If you see A1084 or A1088, these are much older versions of the Express that were sold long before Apple began to use the Generation naming with "n" wireless devices in 2007.
    Mavericks will not support the A1084 or A1088. Use another Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC if you need to administer the older Express.

  • Can't use Airport Express after upgrading to Leopard

    I use Airport Express for wireless printing and AirTunes via powered speakers/hifi. It was working very reliably until I upgraded to Leopard. Now, I am unable to use Airport Express. I get the blinking orange light, but when I scan with Airport Utility, Airport Express is not detected. Manual setup is grayed out, so I can't set it up at all. I am using Airport Utility Version 5.2.2 (522.3), and there does not seem to be any updates or patches to apply at the moment. I have tried on my iMac G5 and MacBook, with the same result on both computers.
    I am also reading that many others are having problems with Airport Express after upgrading to Leopard, perhaps not with my specific hardware configuration, but this is very disappointing.
    I am open to suggestions to try a few things to get it working, so any help is appreciated.

  • AirPort Express with Air Tunes and wired router

    Do any of you using AirPort Express with Air Tunes as a base station have it connected to a wired router, just as an added precaution?
    thanks,
    --h

    As far as I know, AirPort Express w/tunes has a firewall, but a given router may offer more protection options than just a firewall. I'm wondering about security on the wired side of the connection, not the wireless side.
