My system can not connect with the Airport Express while the signal is very good?

Neither my phone nor my desktop (windows 7) can not make a connection with the Airport Express. The signal keeps flashing amber.
Several specialists have checked but can not solve this problem. Any ideas?

I am in exactly the same boat...

Can not connect to old airport express

I can not connect to old airport express with new mountian lion and airport utility?

You will need to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion. This article will tell you how:

This works for most users, but we cannot guarantee that it will work for you. Up to you to decide if you want to try this unsupported method.

AirPort Express - Can not connect to "extended" AirPort Express

Two trips to the Genius Bar tell me that I should be able to Extend my network from a new AirPort Express (n/g/b) to an older AirPort Express (b/g) using the "extend network feature". The two devices are communicating (both lights are green and the wireless channel will change on the remote device if I change it at the base station), but my MBP Core Duo 15" seems to only be connecting to the AirPort Express Base Station (n/g/b) and not to the Remote "extended" AirPort Express (b/g).
This forum seems to indicate that you can only use WDS between the newer AEX (n) and the older AEX (b/g) but the folks at the Apple Store have told me twice now not to use WDS. They said that as long as the two devices have green lights that it is working, but when I click on the Airport Symbol up in the menu bar w/the Option key it tells me the MAC address of the base station only - and when I get very far from the base station, the signal drops out even though the remote AEX is near by.
I did try setting it up using WDS and that works fine, just very slow.
Anyone know if there's a way to be sure that my MBP connects to the remote (extended) AirPort Express?

This forum seems to indicate that you can only use WDS between the newer AEX (n) and the older AEX (b/g)
This is correct....since the older b/g Express does not even have a setting to "extend a wireless network".
If you require confirmation, open AirPort Utility, select the b/g Express, click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Now look at the available settings for Wireless Mode.
"Extend a wireless network" is not there.
but the folks at the Apple Store have told me twice now not to use WDS.
They are likely telling you not to use it because the performance on your network will drop dramatically if you do use WDS. Or, they mean well, but they are just wrong on this subject. Here's why:
The only way that you can use an older "g" and newer "n" device together to provide more wireless coverage is to configure both devices for WDS. It's a Catch 22.
WDS operates only at "g" wireless levels. So when you configure the newer "n" Express to operate as part of the WDS (which you must), it becomes a "g" wireless device. You lose any "n" capability on the network
Worse still, every "remote" or "relay" in a WDS setup cuts the bandwidth of the entire network in half...50%. That's huge. In effect, with WDS, you may have a bit more wireless coverage, but you will have a "g" wireless network that operates at half speed.
but when I click on the Airport Symbol w/the Option key it tells me the MAC address of the base station only - and when I get very far from the base station, the signal drops out even though the remote AEX is near by.
The remote AX is not providing any additional wireless coverage.
They said that as long as the two devices have green lights that it is working
Nope, as you can tell by the fact that your "remote" is not providing any additonal wireless coverage.
Anyone know if there's a way to be sure that my MBP connects to the remote (extended) AirPort Express?
Your only option, (unless you add more hardware):
Configure both AX devices to "Participate in a WDS network" setting one up as a "main" and the other a "remote" . The big downside, as mentioned previously, is that you will have a "g" wireless network running at half speed.

Can't connect to Apple Airport Express wi-fi

Hi folks,
2nd gen iPT, OS is up to date. At my home, it connects to my Airport Express wi-fi network just fine. But at my parents home, it does not. It sees the network, asks for the password, I type it in, and it rejects it saying it cannot connect to the network. I set the network up myself, I know the password, I just can't figure out what the connection problem is. Any ideas? Any typical things that are overlooked? Any glitches that I haven't anticipated (like using one versus another security protocol on my parents' network)?
Thanks,
-- Josh

Is it the same Airport Express that you're physically taking to your parents home and plugging it into their network, or do they have their own Airport Express which you're trying to connect to?
If it's a different Airport Express, I'd compare all the settings in the Airport Utility at your home with all the settings at your parents.
If it's the same Airport Express, maybe you've got some settings in there which are specific to your home network i.e. different IP addresses. Try setting it up for DHCP.
Can other wi-fi devices connect to it, or is it only the iPod touch that's having problems?
Incidentally, I take my Airport Express where-ever I go and frequently connect it to different networks without having to reconfigure it, so if this is what you're trying to do, its certainly possible.

Losing wireless connection with my airport express with my powerbook G4

Lately I've been losing my wireless signal from my powerbook G4 to my airport express. The light on my airport express still shows as green, so I was wondering if the trouble lied in wither the airport express or my mac? I'm running on the 6.2 version that mac had offered as an update for the express.
The signal returns if I shut down my mac, and then turn it back on, as well as unplugging the airport express and replugging it in as well. This is starting to occur now once a day at least.
I keep my powerbook in the same room as the airport express, and it is usually in fact sitting on my desk above it...so range isn't really an issue.
This is getting tedious, and would like to know how to nip this in the bud.
Please be detailed in your responses. I'm not to tech savey. Thanks.

I am also experiencing the same problem, also only since recently updating my AE firmware. I will provide a bit more information so that maybe someone will be able to offer some suggestions.
I have one AE connected to a BT Broadband modem. My iMac is down the hall, connected to the AE for internet and for Airtunes. What I experience is that I will lose connectivity to the airport itself. In fact, sometimes I can actually watch as my airport signal indicator in my menu bar jumps up and down repeatedly (although sometimes the airport signal just disappears altogether and then when I go looking for it in my Airport menubar, my network is no longer listed). The green light on my AE always stays constant when this happens (even when the airport signal goes away completely). The BT modem seems to be fine.
AE basestation firmware is V6.3.
I am connected to my AE using WPA Personal (anyone know what the Group Key Timeout option does? Mine is set at 60 minutes by default... no idea if that is connected to my issue, but I didn't want to play with it since I don't know what it does).
Channel: Automatic, Closed Network. Access Control is enabled so that only my iMac can access the network. Airtunes is enabled.
Under wireless options, multicast rate is 1, interference robustness is not enabled, and transmitter power is 100%.
Anyone have any ideas about what the problem is and what I can do to try and fix it?
Thanks.

Time machine can't sync with older airport express

Just bought a new time capsule to replace a 7 year old airport extreme. I can't get the two airport expresses to work with it. The airport expresses are about 5 years old. I've tried to reset them. The airport utility says it has successfully reformatted them, but then when it tries to restart the airport express, it can't be recognized. Airport express light continues to flash amber.

Solved the problem using this forum. Changed the security to WAP/WAP2 personal.

Can't connect to Secure Airport Express Network with my PC Laptop

Hello-
I have a PC laptop with Windows XP and a wireless card that I've used to successfully connect to unsecured Airport Networks many times.
Now I have a Security-Enabled network in my apartment, and I can't figure out how to connect!
When I attempt to connect, it asks me to enter a "Network Key." I've tried using the numbers on the underside of the AirPort Express itself, as well as the password my roommate assigned to the network (which I used to successfully connect with my PowerMac G5). None of these work.
Does anyone have any ideas for me?
Any additional information needed?
THANK YOU!!!

What you need is the "Equivalent Network Password" of the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). This Apple Tech article should help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106864

How can i check the devices which are connected with my AirPort Express?

I saw an unknown device in the app 'Who Uses My Wifi?', how can i check it through AirPort Utility and can i remove this device by the app?

Open AirPort Utility
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you double click the picture of the AirPort router
Currently connected wireless ciients will be displayed
Don't forget about the wireless printer you might have, baby monitor, wireless thermostat and other items that connect using wireless. They will appear on your check.....not just computers or iPhones, etc.
If you have 3 wireless devices, and you see 4 devices connected, you may have an unwanted guest.
If you are using good wireless security, like WPA2 Personal, and a good password, it is extremely unlikely that another device will be on your network

I can´t connect the internet - airport express + windows xp pack3

I have a problem to connect the internet in my computer (system Windows XP Pack 3) using Air Port Express. My roommate has a mac pc and everything was easy, but in my case it was not. I tried to use the “Airport setup assistant for windows” and nothing, I tried to update my wireless drivers and nothing. I tried to configure the wireless by hand, because it was not able to find automatically the airport base station. But, maybe I´m using incorrect IP and gateway values. I don´t know what else I can do to solve my problem. Sometimes, the internet symbol is on (when I configure ip value by hand), but when I open firefox or internet explorer … it is not connected.
Oh… please, help-me!
Thanks.
p.s. PC = Acer Aspire 5315, 802.11b/g wlan

I have the same problem. My iMac talks to the Airport Express with no problem, but my PC Laptop (running Windows 7) appears to connect but I can't use the internet - same issue as the first post in this discussion. I'd love to hear from someone who can help. Apple doesn't seem to be able to provide support on this one...

Can't connect PS3 to Airport Express Network - please help!

Hello,
This may have been done to death before, but I couldn't find it...
I have an 80GB PS3 that I am trying to connect to the internet wirelessly through my Apple Airport Express.
When I follow the setup procedure on my PS3, it finds the Apple Network, I put in the security key and it all seems to be going OK. However, when I test the internet connection, it fails to find the IP address.
Can anyone help me with this? Please???
Many thanks...

I have fixed it!
Basically, I had wpa2 encryption enabled. I changed the encryption to wep, which then prompted me to enter a 13 digit password, which I did. Fired up the ps3, entered the new 13 digit password and voila! All working beuatifully.
Many thanks for your help!

How can i connect my existing airport express to my new time capsule network?

I have an older airport express for wirelessly extending my network in my apartment. I bought a new Time Capsule and my airport express flashes amber and cannot find the time capsule to connect. How do I get them connected?

You can use the USB3 connections for USB2. That's downward compatible. Just runs at USB2 speed.
Just this week apple announced a couple of TB adapters, TB-to-ethernet and TB-to-firewire. But the FW adapter is not at the apple store as yet (at least at the time I am posting this).

Itunes will not connect with my airport express

My new macbook will connect automatically to my airport express network with airtunes but the itunes on my imac will not. It show the network as an option for additional speakers but when I choose the airport express network as my external speakers it gives me a box saying it is connecting then after a few minutes it just goes away and reverts to the computer for my speakers. Any ideas on what to do? The aiport express has the latest firmware update.

Check the Firewall settings in the Sharing area of System Preferences.
I think you need to have iTunes Music Sharing enabled (maybe not).

Can't connect PC to Airport Express

Dear discussions helpers,
After my wife had Vista installed on her Sony Vaio, we can't connect her to our Airport Express to access the internet. We use WPA Personal, password access. Seems she can only connect to it if the network is open, which I don't want to do for obvious reasons. We have an iBook and a Macbook that connect without issues, but even if we enter the password and configure the settings correctly (the set-up assistant is just about the same as the Mac), it won't connect. Now, she let this go for so long, she passed the Geek Squad warranty. I know nothing of PC's, so I can't help. Why she went there is another issue, but the point is: what can you suggest we do to allow her to access my network?

Run AirPort Utility, click on Manual Setup, and then select Access. Change MAC Address Access Control from Not Enabled to Timed Access. Change the default setting by double clicking on it and on the drop down menu change Everyday to No Access. Now hit Done. Now click the + button and either enter your Mac's MAC Address (which can be found under Network Preferences and Advanced and is listed as your AirPort ID) or click this computer which will enter it automatically for you. Add the other computers that connect wirelessly to your Time Capsule (don't worry about ones that are wired) and then hit done. Now not only will other users have to know your password to get on your network but they also have to have a MAC Address that matches the ones that you listed (which means they either have to be one of your computers or have cloned one of your computer's MAC addresses, which is just one more layer of security).

Newer mac mini airport utility can't work with older airport express

Hi anyone who can help me out.
I have a relatively new mac mini (2012), and a much older airport express. I can accesss the internet no problem, but I cannot use the airport utility to chane the password on the airport expres. when I try, I get this message "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." I have the latest version of Airport utility (6.3.1), which is supposed to work with all generaions of airport express. I need to change the password, but I do not have any of the original set-up disks for the airport. How do I fix this?
Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, AirPort Utility in Lion and Mountain Lion no longer supports the older wireless "b/g" versions of the AirPort Express. This would include model numbers A1084 and A1088.
Please locate the model number on the side of your AirPort Express devices to verify the version that you have.
If you have another Mac running the Leopard or Snow Leopard operating system, you can use AirPort Utilty on that Mac to administer the older Express. A PC could be used as well.
If you cannot use another Mac or PC, then you might want to consider trying an unsupported method to install an older version of AirPort Utility on your Mountain Lion Mac. No guarantees can be offered that this will be successful since Apple does not officially support this method, but it does seem to work for most users.
See this thread for more details:

If nothing seems to work, the final option....likely the one that Apple wants you to use.....would be to buy a new AirPort Express.
