Can I use my Airport Express Base Station to charge my mini?

I don't use the Airport thing anymore and it has a USB and wall plug. Will it work?

Yeah, I have just tried to plug my Nano with it, the Nano get charged and "do not disconnect" flashing

  • Can I use an Airport Express Base Station to extend non-Apple router range?

    We have a Netgear 802.11n router in our house. I just bought a MacBook Pro and now am accessing out wifi from the other end of the house along with my iPod Touch 4g. Both seem to show at best about half strength signal strength. House is small and nearly all devices on same floor.
    Can I use the Apple Airport Express Base Station as a bridge to extend our wifi network giving me stronger signal for my Apple devices or will it only work with Apple routers? Netgear and others like Hawking make wifi range extenders and those are still under consideration.

    It would be extremely unlikely that an AirPort Express would "extend" the wireless network produced by the Netgear router using wireless only. Apple's "extend" feature appears to be proprietary among Apple "n" routers. As far as we know, it does not work with any other manufacturer's products for the purpose of wireless only extension.
    If you are planning to connect the AirPort Express to the Netgear using an ethernet connection, then it could be configured to extend that way.

  • Can I use the AirPort Express Base Station as a wifi 'reciever'?

    I have a AirPort Extreme base station connect to the internet in my living room. But my bedroom is a little far from the living room so that I cannot revieve a good wifi. I want buy a AirPort Express Base Station to put in my bedroom connecting my PC. Will this way work to make my PC's internet faster??

    Hello:
    You can extend a wi-fi network like this:

    That will not increase speed, but it will improve reception.

  • Can I use 2 airport express base stations to extend my G and N  networks?

    I currently have my Time Capsule broadcasting an N only signal at 5ghz and use the router that came from the cable company to broadcast a G signal. Can I buy 2 expresses to repeat both networks?

    Here's what I see when I try this. Your results may vary.
    Depending on your connection quality, distance from the TC, etc., the speed will drop by approximately 40-50% if you change to the 2.4GHz compatible settings that you mention. In other words, if you were getting a Transfer Rate of 250-270 on 5GHz, the Transfer Rate will likely drop to 110-130.
    This is assuming that there are only "n" devices active on the network. If you have a "g", or "b" device active on the network, the overall network speed will drop to "g" or "b" levels depending on the device that is active. If you have a "b" device active, the Transmit Rate will likely drop to the 25-30 range.
    You can check the Transmit Rate on your Mac by holding down the "option" key while you click on the fan shaped Airport icon at the top of the screen.

  • Can you add new AirPort Express Base Station Simultaneous dual-band 802.11n with a 1st Gen time capsule network

    Hi
    Has anyone tried using the AirPort Express Base Station with a first generation Time Capsule and used it to extend their network, while still being able to use the Simultaneous dual-band 802.11n on their network?
    Thanks in advance

    The first generation Time Capsule was not a simultaneous dual band device.
    If you add the "new" AirPort Express to the network and configure it to "Extend a wireless network", it will extend the one single band signal that it is receiving from the Time Capsule.
    In other words, the AirPort Express will not extend simultaneous dual bands in this type of setup...since it can only "extend" what it receives. You would need a simultaneous dual band Time Capsule if you want that type of functionality.

  • Using a Airport Express Base Station for wireless printing.

    Using a Airport Express Base Station for wireless printing. Got a new DSL router yesterday. Our old one we did not have password protected. The new one is. I can't figure out how to get the base station to connect with the new router.

    thanks for the reply,   I couldn't connect with the base station.  The solution (thank you apple genius bar) was to do a soft rest of the unit which allowed and ethernet connectiont to be established.  Took the genius bar gy about ten min (and 2 attempts) to get the base station reconfigured.  Got home and it worked like a charm.  Would have never known what he knew.  Thank you genius bar.  Thank you for taking time to respond.

  • Using an Airport express base station as a bridge

    Hello,
    Sorry if the question has already been asked, but I'm getting nuts...
    I have today a XP PC connected to the internet over WiFi (modem + router).
    The problem is that router & PC are far one from the other in my house, and I bought this AirPort Express to extend the range of the existing network.
    Could someone explain to me how to access to the configuration menu of the Airport to "tell him" that I want to use it as a bridge ?
    I think I've done what's requested, but cannot access to any menu (although my PC is connected to the airport WLAN network).
    Thanks in advance

    Unless your current router is an AirPort, you will find few non-AirPort routers that will work in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). If your primary base station is an AirPort (Extreme or Express), let me know, and I will provide WDS setup instructions.
    You would access the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) setup using either the AirPort Setup Assistant or the AirPort Admin Utility. Both of these come, either on the CD supplied with the AX, or can be downloaded directly from Apple. There is also a Windows version of the AirPort software at the Apple site.

  • Can I use the Airport Extreme Base Station with my already existing D-Link router to increase signal strength?

    I already own a wireless router that I would like to keep. Could I use this Airport Extreme Base Station to improve that signal strangth to my room from the living room or to the basement? Would I have to hard-wire both the Base Station and my existing router? You probably have read this question more than once, and I have read some questions of this product too, but for some reason these Apple products I have some trouble with.

  • Can I use an Airport Extreme Base Station from the USA in Europe ?

    A friend of mine gave me an Airport Extreme Base Station from the USA to Germany. When I hook it up to my PB by ethernet cable the Computer can't find the Base Station at all. If I use my Sonnett Aria Extreme PCI card it finds the station but in the pop-up menu asking in which country I want to use the airport station it only offers North and South American countries. How do I go from here and why is my PB not finding the station when I'm using cables ? Has it something to do with different models for different countries ? Any idea ? Thanx

    Here you go ...
    Changing the Radio Channel on the AEBSn
    Either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network, or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN ports of the AEBSn, and then, using the AirPort Utility in Manual Setup, check these settings:
    AirPort - Wireless
    o Channel: <Use Automatic or select a preferred channel>

  • AirPort Express Base Station - Use with HP Laser Jet & Time Warner

    Have this brand new AirPort Express Base Station that I want to install in place of the Linksys router that is connected to the Time Warner cable base station delivering internet connection so I can connect HP Laser Jet 6/6mp printer via USB on the AirPort Express. Any recommendations or suggestions ?

    Thanks
    The question is this
    If I use the Airport Express Base Station as wireless router for internet service coming in from Time Warner AND plug the HP LaserJet printer USB plug into the AirportExpressBaseStation will I be able to overcome the communication problem I am having when I plug in the HPLP's USB plug directly into the MacBookPro and cannot get use of the printer due to language ( Apple Talk vs Post Script ) problems ? Probably not make any difference since the USB female on the AEBS is just a conductor !
    While I have you ! How do Mac people delete backwards like PC people do when they press the delete key and letters delete from left to right ?

  • Can't read airport express base station configuration wirelessly

    The setup:
    2TB time capsule that takes the ethernet feed from the cable modem for internet access.
    Airport express 802.11g plugged into speakers for Airtunes. No ethernet connection, just a wireless network.
    The problem:
    I can only read the airport express base station configuration when the mac is plugged into the time capsule by ethernet cable. This does not happen with the other mac I have on the network. It can connect to both the time capsule and the airport express without any problems. So unless I'm plugged in, iTunes and airtunes doesn't connect to the base station, and neither can Airfoil 3.5 or Airport Utility. Airport Utility does see the airport express. It just doesn't read the configuration wirelessly.
    I think this had something to do with elgato eyetv not liking airfoil, but I can't say for sure.
    Any thoughts?

    When I switch it on all three lights flash, but then after a while the middle one stays on and nothing happens.
    You posted in the AirPort Express area, but it sounds like you have an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS)--correct?
    If so, let's start by performing a complete power recycling of your network components to make sure that the BT Voyager router "recognizes" the AEBS.
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    - Power-off the BT Voyager modem, AEBS, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the BT Voyager modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - 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
    - Power-off the BT Voyager modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the BT Voyager modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the computer(s)

  • Airport Utility can no longer see my Airport Express Base Station.

    Hi all the problem I have is as follows;
    I've set up my Airport Express Base Station some time ago to print wirelessly from my HP Photosmart C4280 and it was working fine.
    However recently when I've gone to print a document, even though the printer is working fine and the Airport Express Base Station is showing a green light nothing happens. I've gone into the Airport Utility and its say's it can't see the Airport Express Base Station (even though it still has a green light showing). If I unplug the Airport Express and plug it in again, the Airport Utility can suddenly see it again.
    I've successfully gone through the reset process but after a few minutes the Airport Utility can no longer see the Airport Express Base Station which means I can't print a document wirelessly. I've repeated the reset process several times with the same outcome.
    Everything was working fine up until recently, has the Airport Express Base Station developed a fault? or is there something I'm not doing.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    If you're comfortable resetting all settings, unplug it, hold down the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug it back in - keep holding it for another 10-20s until the amber light flashes
    Then, open airport utility, now you should be able to see the device either on-screen or in the upper left under 'other wi-fi devices'

  • Airport Utility not seeing Airport Express base station

    Since I got access to cable internet a few days ago, I've been using my Airport Express base station with no problems on my MacBook. Today I tried to set up my roommate's PC (she has Vista, if that matters) so she can get online. So we downloaded the AE Utility for Windows, then reset both the modem and the AE base about two times, but her computer won't see the Express base at all when it scans.
    Any ideas? Do we need to go into her Network preferences on the Control Panel or something? I've been through the manual but it wasn't much help. Sorry this is such a basic question, thanks for all helpful suggestions!

    You had everything working properly.
    There was no need for her to have Airport Utility on her computer as the Airport Base station was already set up.
    Set your system up the way it was and then on her computer, just have her join the network.
    Do not use Airport Utility for anything on her computer.

  • AirPort Express Base Station not recognized by Verizon MiFi 4G

    I use an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to connect wirelessly to my PC in order to play music from iTunes.  The AX is connected via wire to a sound system.  I have just changed from a Verizon MiFi 3G wi-fi hot spot to a Verizon MiFi 4G wi-fi hot spot.  I was able to use the AX on the Verizon MiFi 3G wi-fi hot spot with no problem.  But when I switched to the Verizon MiFi 4G wi-fi hot spot, I could not get the AX to work.  I used the AirPort Utility to update the AX settings, including changing from WPA to WPA2, and the AirPort Utility reported everything OK (green check mark at end of session), but the Verizon MiFi 4G wi-fi hotspot does not recognize the AX--the indicator light on the AX is blinking orange, not solid green.
    Does anyone have any idea why the AX worked with the Verizon MiFi 3G hotspot but not with the Verizon MiFi 4G hotspot?
    Is there some kind of workaround or another box to put in the system?
    Thanks.

    It say's this on the main Apple Website:
    Support for WPA requires Mac OS X v10.3 or later.  Use of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) reduces the maximum number of network users. When joining an existing wireless network, AirPort Express supports only WPA-Personal. WPA2 requires a Mac computer with an AirPort Extreme Card and Mac OS X v10.3 or later.
    So it has to be on WPA-Personal.
    The Airport Utility should tell you what is wrong with it when it is orange.
    Also, is it running on the same channel? For instance, are they both running on channel 1? Are you extending a network, or creating a network?
    Hope that brain snap just puts everything together.
