Can I use an ethernet switch to add a "pogoplug" device to my Airport express router? Or do I need a different router?

I have an airport express router and decided to get a "pogoplug device" (cloud service to store files etc.). It requires to be connected to router per ethernet but I realized too late there is only one ethernet connection in the router. A friend suggested I get an ethernet switch but it still doesn't work...Do I need a new router?

Then, unfortunately, no as the single Ethernet port of the AX needs to be connected to the Ethernet port of your Broadband modem.
One option is to get another AX, and then, configure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. It would connect to the first AX by wireless, and then, you can connect the PogoPlug to it.

  • HT3728 every time my iMac sleeps or restarts it loses the connection to airport express and i must reset and connect with router via ethernet cable.

    Every time my imac sleeps or restarts it loses the wireless connection with my airport express (used for streaming music). I then have to disconnect the airport express from my stereo, bring it to my router, connect it to my router with ethernet cable and reset the wireless connection. Even with my airport express  in the same room as my router Airport Utility cannot find it until i plug in an ethernet cable, so i do not think this is an issue with my wireless network. Router is a newer netgear.

  • Can you use a Ethernet hard drive on a airpot express

    Can you use a ethernet hard disk on a airport express?
    such as this one?

    More than likely this is NOT possible since most Belkin routers are NOT compatible with Apple's WDS.
    However if you are using a Belkin F5D7230-4 or F5D7231 you might be able to get it to work. You need to configure the Belkin and the AirPort Express (AX) to connect wirelessly using WDS. Only then is the AX's Ethernet port enabled.

  • Can I use the ethernet port ....

    Can I use the ethernet port on the ATV to connect my blue ray p[layer to the internet using the ATV as a wireless card??
    If so how??

    I might be next in line on the airport extreme! Right now wireless is working better since the latest upgrade to iTunes, but hardwire is the way to go. Only problem is that ISP connections is in my office and my Home Media is downstairs. I was thinking of setting the Airport Extreme as a repeater in order to access ISP and then used the ports in the back for iTunes and ATV.

  • Can I use the Ethernet Port for a computer when it is also used as a wireless network with an Airport Extreme as the access point for the wireless network

    Can I use the Ethernet Port  of the A1264 Airport Express to connect to the Ethernet port of a computer that does not have wireless capability when the Airport Express is also used on a wireless network with an Airport Extreme 5th generation as the access point for the network?
    I have AE 5th gen
    looking to buy (from ebay) the AEX A1264
    Various computers, printers and hubs for the network
    Is this possible to do?

    Bob, Thanks for the info. I have read different articles that said yes, but I wanted to make sure before I commit to buy. I have an older A1084 which I could not use the Ethernet port. I know at one point I was able to when I was on 10.4. Now that I am on an Intel processor and 10.8 I am going to have to upgrade some of my Apple wireless hardware.
    Thanks Again.

  • I just bought an AirPort express. Currently I have a qwest wired router plugged into the back of my computer via an ethernet cable. Can I just unplug the ethernet cable and plug it into the AirPort express, then use the setup utility?

    I just bought an AirPort express. Currently I have a qwest wired router plugged into the back of my computer via an ethernet cable. Can I just unplug the ethernet cable and plug it into the AirPort express, then use the setup utility? Most of the discussions involve an existing wireless network. I don't have one.

    Correct. That's the way to set up the AirPort Express. After connecting your AirPort Express to the router, open AirPort Utility (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps

  • Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Yes, but you have to logout of one, and login to the other.
    If it is an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and you buy apps on different accounts, when it comes time to update an app, you have to specify the password for the account used to acquirer the app. You change an iOS account via Settings -> Store -> Apple ID (tap on it), and start by logging out and then you can enter the other Id
    So it is possible, but it can also be a pain.

  • How do I use the new Airport Express as an extender for a non-Apple router?

    We have an "Arris" router in our house and are thinking of buying an Airport Express to extend the internet. How can we use the Airport express as a repeater on a non-Apple router without having to use millions of ethernet cables?

    Apple designed their "extend a wireless network" to only work with other Apple routers wirelessly, so it would be extremely unlikely like it would work with an Arris wireless router.
    Your best bet is to always use products from the same manufacturer if you need this type of feature on your network to insure compatibility.
    If Arris does not offer a product for this purpose, a "universal" extender like the Netgear device linked below might be able to do what you want. It was not "universal" enough to extend an Apple network when I tested a device recently.

  • Can I reconfigure how my hp all-in-one is attached to an Airport Express?

    When my hp Officejet 6310 all-in-one is connected by USB cable to an Airport Express, which is connected wirelessly to my Airport Extreme, is loses scanning and other functions (printing works). The Airport Express instructions say to connect printers with USB. But can I use the Ethernet connection between the printer and Airport express? If so, do I need to change my Airport Express settings?

    If I reconfigure using WDS will I notice the print speed being half as fast due to using half the bandwidth?
    Probably not. The data transfer for a print job probably doesn't take a lot of bandwidth.
    Will it effect the speed (or anything else) of the other computers on the network?
    Yes it affects the bandwidth of the entire wireless network. So anything connected wirelessly will feel the pinch.
    Also, I already have a WDS on this network with a different, separate AX (b,g&n) extending the network's reach to other parts of the house. Does that effect what I can / should do?
    Ouch! Each WDS link cuts the available bandwidth in half. So with 2 WDS links you will only have one quarter (1/2*1/2) the available bandwidth.

  • Can airport express boost signal without connecting to 3wire bigpond router?

    Can airport express boost signal without connecting to 3wire bigpond router? just via wi-fi?

    The Express would not sit with the bigpond router......it would need to be located in the area where you need more wireless signal coverage.
    Assuming that you have an open available Ethernet port on the bigpond router, you can use that to connect the Ethernet cable to the Express and locate the Express where it is needed in a remote location.

  • [SOLVED] Can't use themes after switching from KDE to Gnome

    I've just switched my desktop environment from KDE to Gnome, and am unable to use GTK themes properly.
    When I was using KDE, I had qtcurve-gtk2 with gtk-theme-switch2 installed, with QtCurve as the chosen GTK theme.  I have uninstalled both qtcurve-gtk2 and gtk-theme-switch2 when I made my switch to Gnome, but it seems my GTK themes are still controlled by the QtCurve engine, and I can't use GTK themes via Gnome's Appearance Preferences.
    Last edited by samjh (2009-09-24 13:33:02)

    Thanks for the reply, but it's not the answer.  Gtk-chtheme changes the GTK theme that QtCurve uses.  The problem I have is that although I've removed QtCurve from my system (including configuration files using pacman's -Rn option, and the configuration file in my /~ directory), my Gnome system is still using QtCurve for themes, blocking other theme engines from running.  So I'm really looking for a way to get back the ability to use proper GTK/Gnome themes, not QtCurve.
    To clarify again:
    1. I used to have a KDE installation.  I used qtcurve-gtk2 for to theme my GTK apps to conform with KDE look and feel, with gtk-theme-switch2 to set the style for QtCurve.
    2. I removed KDE from my system, and in the process, I also removed (manually and using pacman -Rcn) qtcurve-gtk2 and gtk-theme-switch2.
    3. I installed Gnome, along with gtk-engine-murrine, murrine-theme-collection and gtk-rezlooks-engine.
    4. When I access the Appearance Preferences dialog, all my themes are previewed using KDE's Oxygen-style buttons.  I am only able to use/activate GTK control themes (ie. I cannot use Murrine, Rezlooks, or other non-GTK2 theming engines, even though they are installed).  Even more strangely, if I switch to a GTK control theme to something other than Clearlooks, the buttons change to the appropriate theme, but the scroll bars are stuck on the Clearlooks look-and-feel.  Metacity theming is fine.
    I have reinstalled and re-removed qtcurve-gtk2 and gtk-theme-switch2.  I have completely removed Qt from my system.  I have also searched (using the find command) for any files of qtcurve, and removed every trace of it.  But the old QtCurve configuration is still preventing non-GTK2 themes from running, and causing rendering flaws for scrollbar controls.
