    Hello!
    I´m sorry it took so long to reply, but I´m new to these blogs; and I´ve been travelling a lot... Anyway, I was able to configure Airport Express, but I was told I could use it to expand my wireless network inside my house; which I found it´s not possible.
    So, I´m returning my Airport Express to the store tomorrow and try to figure out a way to extend my wireless in any other way.
    Any sugestion? Big houses are a problem...
    Best regards, and once again thank you!

  • Can't configure Airport Express after firmware upgrade 6.2.

    I have an Airport Extreme (V5.6) and I recently upgraded my Aiport Express to firmware 6.2. I was using the Express to extend my range and attach to my stereo for iTunes. I went out of town and took the Airport Express with me to use in my hotel rooms. Everything was fine. When I returned and I re-attached the Airport Express to the system at home, it said there was a firmware upgrade, so I went ahead and did the upgrade. Since that time, iTunes has not been able to recognize the Express. It tries, but cannot find it. I then tried to reconfigure the Aiport Express but i get an error message "An error occurred while attempting to communicate with the AirPort Express. (-8)". Does anybody have a solution. I'm afraid to update the Base Station firmware for fear that I might run into the same problem. I'm running an aluminum Powerbook G4(1.25 ghz).

    Hi,
    I don't really know the solution, but the Airport Express firmware is now at 6.3. Maybe you should use this latest one to see what's happen...

  • 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?

  • I can not connect  airport express with my iPad 2

    I am going to wifi in my ipad I press airport express and after a while the answer in a window is that:it is not possible the shaping of my airport express with this software. Please could you help me?

    You need to install an older version of AirPort Utility on your Mac. Here is a suggestion:

    iOS devices will not be able to configure your older AirPort Express.

  • 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't get Airport Express to restart after configuring

    I can't believe how finicky the new Airport Express is (most recent.) I had successfully configured it to extend my Airport Extreme network wirelessly, but
    because of lots of interference in my old house (wire lath in plaster walls,) I can't get it to extend my network very far wirelessly.
    So I am now trying to extend it via ethernet. I plugged it into an ethernet cable which is plugged into one of the available ports on the Airport Extreme. Airport Utility recognized it, and I configured it to extend my regular network via ethernet cable. AU said I was successful and was restarting it. Unfortunately restart failed.
    I reopened AU, but it couldn't see the Express. Unplugged the Express for 5 minutes and did a hard reset, holding it in for 10 sec after Express was plugged in.
    Opened AU again. AU still can't see the Express.
    Do I have to configure the Express to do what I want while it is plugged directly into my cable modem? I am reluctant to do this because it screws up my Airport Extreme connectivity evey time I do this.

    Thanks for clarifying that for me.
    In order to do what you want, you will need to know the name of the wireless network that the Extreme is producing, along with the password and exact type of wireless security that that the network using. I assume that you know the name of the wireless network and password.
    If you need to find out exactly what type of security that the Extreme network is using, you will need to open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup. Then click the Wireless tab below the row of icons to reveal the wireless settings page. Jot down the setting that you see for Wireless Security because you will need this to configure the AirPort Express.
    Check to make sure that the Ethernet cable that will connect the Express to the Extreme is connected to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme.
    Keep your computer near the AirPort Extreme. Restart the AirPort Express (AX) that is plugged into the Ethernet cable and allow 40-45 seconds for it to restart.
    Open AirPort Utility, select the AX, and click Manual Setup.
    Click the Base Station tab to assign a name to the AX, device password and adjust Time Zone settings.
    Click the Wireless tab and adjust your settings to look like this:
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Same name as the AirPort Extreme network
    Enter a check mark next to Allow this network to be extended
    Radio Mode = Automatic or 802.11n (802.11 b/g compatible) is a good choice
    Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = Exact same setting that the AirPort Extreme is using
    Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme network
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon
    Click the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update to save settings. Close AirPort Utility as soon as you see the message that the settings have been stored. You should have a green light on the AX in 40-45 seconds
    Very important.....Power cycle the entire network
    Power everything down....all devices.....order is not important
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two
    Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
    Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
    You should be all set

  • Can't configure Airport Extreme with IP 192.168.0.1 after software update

    Hi there,
    after updating my ax with utility software 5.3.1 and firmware 7.3.1. The software didn't allow the dhcp configuration to stay at IP range from 192.168.0.40 to 192.168.0.200
    The message said that this is not a valid IP.
    The configuration was working before without any problem.
    After several tries I changed to 192.168.1.40 and 192.168.1.200. Now I was able to save the changes. And the airport is working well.
    But I can't go back to 192.168.0
    But I need to use 192.168.0 for a tunnel to connect to my wifes company.
    Configuration:
    Seperate Modem with DSL.
    Connecting over PPPoE
    Activeted WLan
    Connected computers over Lan and Wlan
    Can anybody help?
    Thanx
    Stephan

    by-feet, Welcome to the discussion area!
    AFAIK the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) has always forced the 3rd digit to be a 1 (one), as in x.y.1.z.
    Could it be that you previously had the AEBS to operate as a bridge and your "modem" was actually suppling the IP addresses?

  • I am having problems configuring airport express with time capsule

    Hi,
    I am having problems setting up airport express (old version) with time capsule. It was working perfectly fine with my old router, Airport Extreme (b/g).
    I have tried to reset the Airport Express, and now I am having problems finding it in my personal networks. Not too sure what exactly is going on, other than it was working less than a day ago, and now I can't even locate it on the network to configure.
    Anyone have any suggestions? I have already tried a hard reset, and no luck so far.

    There are 3 types of resets.
    1. Soft
    2. Hard
    3. Factory
    Try a factory reset.

  • Configuring Airport Express with PC

    I'm trying to configure an Airport Express using the Airpot Admin Utility for Windows. I performed a hard reset on the Airport Express and the utility sees the Airport as confirmed by the name showing up as "Base Station xxxxxx" with the x's being the last 6 digits of the Airport MAC address. However, when I try to log in, it does not accept what I understand to be the default password after reset - "public". Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    According to Apple a "soft" reset is all you need to reset the base station administration password back to the default of "public." (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
    Also, make sure you have the latest firmware for you AEBS. (ref: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportextremefirmwareupdate57formacosx.h tml)

  • ITunes can't find Airport Express remote speakers after PC standby

    I use Airport Express 802.11n to drive my remote speakers over WiFi from iTunes. It works well, except for after my PC Laptop has been in standby (such as folding the screen). When it wakes up and regains network connectivity, iTunes can no longer find the Airport Express remote speakers. I can ping the Airport and it shows up in Airport Utility, so I have WiFi connection. It does not help to restart iTunes, I need to reboot Windows to allow iTunes to see the remote speakers again.
    Does anyone have a tip of how I can get iTunes to "refresh" the Airport Express connection (zeroconf/Bonjour issue?) after standby wakeup?

    Holy moly. Now it works.
    I restarted the Airport Express from the Airport Utility application, repaired persmissions and rebooted the computer as well.
    Not much of a "fix" but sometimes you gotta do the most obvious I guess. (And yes I feel stupid)
    Cheers

  • Can't connect Airport Express with Extreme

    So after 3 hours of working on this POS,I have gone to the boards in hopes that maybe someone can help me.
    Situation:
    Cable Modem---Airport Extreme---Airport Express---Stereo System
    Computer: Windows XP
    I can connect the airport extreme to the modem and get an internet connection. Airport Utility recognizes Airport extreme. No problem there.
    Plug in airport express without it being tethered to a CAT 5 cable. Airport utility does not pick it up at all. The only way I can get the utility to recognize it is to tethered it to either the CAT 5 cable coming out of the modem or a cat5 cable coming out of the airport extreme. Both cases are not doable.
    I want the airport extreme and the airport express to connect wirelessly. Try to setup WDS but the only way I could do that is to setup the extreme first, then disconnect the CAT 5 cable running to extreme and then reconnecting that cable to the express so that the Utility would pick it up. Set Up WDS but as soon as I reconnected the cable back to the Airport Extreme it stop working.
    To add more problems, my computer will not connect wirelessly to the extreme without going to the blue screen(the one that says comp is unstable).
    someone please help me.

    Did you get a solution? I have a similar problem in that my i-Mac can successfully see and use the Extreme (with a Linksys modem as I am in UK where we need a modem in most instances) but the Express to which I wish to link nd play music is 'invisible'. Neither scanning through the task bar icon or using the Airport utility 'sees' the Express even though I can as I have now put it in the same room! It did see it briefly once but not since so have factory reset it and still it hides.
    Any ideas?

  • 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.
