Can't see my older AirPort Express anymore with iOS7 on iPad2

Just updated my iPad2 to iOS7 and cannot see my AirPort Express (2 of them) 802.11g with firmware 6.3 anymore. Any solution to that?

None at this time. The AirPort Utility that comes with or can be downloaded from Apple for iOS devices does NOT support 802.11g AirPort base stations. You will need to either use a Mac or PC to administer it or replace the 802.11g AirPort for either a 802.11n or 802.11ac model.

  • Can't connect (wireless) to my Airport Express anymore with iBook, iPad or iPhone.

    Can't connect (wireless) to my Airport Express anymore with iBook, iPad or iPhone. It still recognizes the printer on the iBook (bonjour), but not on my Windows notebook (work). The only device that still connects via wireless is the PlayStation 3.

    The latest firmupdate solved the issue.

    Q: Can I use my older Airport Express-g router (not -n) to extend my Airport Extreme-n wireless network? If Yes, Are the instructions the same as for adding an Airport Express-n router?

    If you want to extend, using wireless only, the 802.11g Express doesn't support this.
    However, if you want to use bridge mode over Ethernet or Powerline adapters then this is supported.

  • I can't add an older airport express to OS 10.7.5? Want to use for wireless printing and iTunes.

    I'm using an Airport Extreme model A 1301 for my home's wireless network. I have three of the older Airport Express model A1084, which I was using for remote speakers for iTunes and for a wireless printer set up, but discontinued using them at some point. I currently have OS 10.7.5, and I could have sworn I was using that OS the last time I used the A1084s, but maybe I updated to it afterwards, I can't remember. At any rate, I've plugged one of the units in, look for it in Airport Utility, and get a message "this version of airPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use airPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support." I go there, download the program, install it, and get a message "The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." Am I in a catch-22 here - am I not able to use the older A1084s because I need airPort Utility 5.6, but I can't use airPort Utility 5.6 because I have OS 10.7.5? Does this mean I may as well throw these older A1084s away?

    If you have not already done so, I suggest that your start over on the AirPort Expess "from scratch" by performing a Factory Default Reset and then attempt to configure it to join the network again.
    Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
    If you have an older Express, make sure that you are not trying to configure it to connect to the 5 GHz network, as it is unable to do so.
    Assuming that the name of the wireless network, wireless security setting and password on the Express match up with the AirPort Extreme, the Express should "join" the network if it is working correctly.
    If you are still having problems, all that you really can do is try the default reset a few more times. If still no luck, the Express....which is at least 5-6 years old or older, may likely need to be replaced with a new model.

  • Can't set up "older" Airport express as booster for "new" Airport network?

    I upgraded to a new airport express (the 802.11n) and want to use that as my primary airport in my house. I have an older airport express that keeps giving me error setting up as a WDS when I reinstall the factory settings to set it up as a booster. Is this an impossibility or am I just missing a step? Thanks.

    I was having trouble having the network name show up in the which-network-to-join window. It would be blank and then give me that error message.
    In a WDS configuration, you do not use the "join an existing wireless network" options.
    The following are the basic steps:
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)
    Main Base Station Setup - 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn)
    o On the Mac click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar, and then, choose the wireless network created by the AXn.
    o Open AirPort Utility; Select the AXn, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
    o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the AX.
    o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
    Remote Base Station Setup - 802.11g AirPort Express Base Station (AX)

    o Open AirPort Utility; Select the AX, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
    o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

  • How can i change my old airport express password with mavericks

    I just bought a new TV and I am trying to connect to my wi-fi, which runs via an old Airport Express. The TV manufacturer says that I should try changing my password from a WEP to WPA - but it seems that I can't even access my Airport Express because it's not supported by Mavericks. Is there a work-around, or do I need to upgrade my Airport Express? It's running fine otherwise - supports multiple laptops and iPhone.

  • Can older Airport Express work with new Airport Extreme?

    I had an older airport base station (dome shaped) and I was extending it with an Airport Express. I didn't need extra range, it was so I could play my iTunes from my laptop through my home speakers (or use my iPhone to do the same). Now I bought one of the newer flat Base Stations but I can't seem to get it to hook up to the old Express so I can still play my music. Do the old Express's not work with the new base stations?
    And if not, is there any other way for me to be able to play music wirelessly to my home stereo from my mac and iPhone/iPods, like I was able to do before?

    Im thinking my Airport Express has failed. I tried hard resetting it several times and I can see it through Airport utility, nor my iPhone. The iPhone sees it, but it cannot set it up.
    Looks like I need to get a new Airport Express no matter what. Ive had it for a Looooong time. So I guess its number was finally up.
    Thanks for the response seancobrien.

  • Can I use my older airport express with an ext drive to backup time machine wireless, Can I use my older airport express with an ext drive to backup time machine wireless

    Can I use an older (flat) Airport Express to attach an ext hard drive and backup time machine wirelessly? and how?

    can I then connect a HD with itunes music and photos?
    Now we are drifting from the original question.
    Im alreadty using the HD attached to my Mac Pro...can I just connect it to the Extreme and access it wirelessly with any device on the wifi net?
    You may get another opinion on this from another user, but I do not recommend this either, based on a number of experimens over the years with this.
    Access to your data on the drive will be much slower. iTunes will tend to "lose" the library this way and you will have to re-point the iTunes application at the library on a regular basis.
    Things are even worse with the iPhoto library. The experts over in the iPhoto support area strongly advise that you do not do this, since any break in communication between the iPhoto application and iPhoto library can easily corrupt the entire library.  A wireless connection makes things even more dicey.
    My advice......Use a drive connected to the Extreme for storage or other backup copies of data.....not for "working" files or libraries.
    But, you may get some other opinions from users here.

  • Airport Utility can not see my 2 airport express.

    It does see my airport extreme but it has stopped seeing the 2 express stations.  I have had this set up for years and play iTunes to stereo systems in 2 different rooms in the house.  But it just crashed and lost the connections to all three base stations.  I have been able to reset the Airport Extreme but Airport utility now will not find the 2 Airport Express units that I have.  These units are 802.11g capatible.

    I have been able to reset the Airport Extreme but Airport utility now will not find the 2 Airport Express units that I have.
    Suggest that you perform a Factory Default Reset on each AirPort Express (AX) and then reconfigure them to "join" the wireless network that is being provided by the AirPort Extreme.
    Power down the AX for a moment
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding the reset button in while you plug the AX back in to power
    Release the reset button 8-10 seconds after you plug the AX in to power
    Allow 40-45 seconds for the AX to restart back to a slow, blinking amber light
    At this point, the AX is providing a wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You must log on and connect to this network (no password is required) first, then open AirPort Utility, select the AX and click Continue to follow the guided setup.
    You also have the option of configuring using Ethernet by temporarily connecting an Ethernet cable from your PC to the AirPort Express if you do not want to configure it using wireless.

  • Can't see my two Airport Express in the Admin Utility

    I have a 12" PB and two Airport Extreme.
    I am unable to see the two Airport Extreme stations through the Airport Admin Utility - but (here comes the strange part) - I see them both in my router's DHCP Active IP Table (freshly updated too).
    Both base stations show a green light.
    iTunes does not see any of them either...
    Any idea what could be the problem? Do I have to 'free' some ports in the router for them to work?
    Any hints appreciated!
    Mario

    I just tried something - in the Airport Admin Utility, instead of waiting for the base stations to show up, I clicked on 'Other' and entered the IP address. Well, I can edit/modify/reset both of them! This is driving me nuts. They seem to identify themselves fine on the network, but none seems to do the right thing! (I use one as my AirTunes, the other as my wireless printer connector).

  • My iphone 4 can't see my new Airport express

    I got a new Airport Express this morning because my old wireless router died.  I had no problems setting it up and getting my MacBook Pro and iPad to it, but my iPhone 4 cannot see it atall.  Any suggestions?

    Not sure what happened, but this issue resolved itself after I looked at all the settings in the Airport Utility on my MacBook Pro and reviewing the network System Preferences, but making no changes.  Working great now.

  • How can I manage an older airport express base station with Mountain Lion?

    This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support."
    I tried to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on my Mac OSX 10.8 Mac Book and it will not allow me to.  How do I manage my "older" airport?

    The 5.6 version can be installed but it does take an alternative route to do so. For example, you can use a utility like Pacifist to first extract the utility, and then, move it to the Utilities folder. Once "installed" by this method, it runs just fine on Mountain Lion.

  • 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!!!
    -Darnell from Chicago

    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

  • Why my older Airport Express does not work with OS-X 10.9?

    After getting my new iMac and upgrading to Marveric, I can not get my older AirPort Express work. Why?

    Mavericks does not support the older "b/g" wireless versions of the AirPorts, only the newer "n" wireless versions.
    You can use another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC to administer the older AirPort Express.

  • My older Airport express has disapeared! Can't see it on network.

    Hello all,
    In addition to an Airport Extreme, I have an older airport express hooked to the stereo input to stream music from my macbook. It has been working for 3-4 years but now it has disappeared from my network. I have hit the tiny reset button on the bottom. The unit blinks green for a second and them goes solid amber. Still not seen on network. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    The unit blinks green for a second and them goes solid amber.
    Unfortunately, this is almost always a sign of an internal power supply problem on the Express.
    Try a Factory Default Reset as a last resort as follows:
    Power off the Express
    Wait a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button first and keep holding it for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and hopefully, it will restart correctly.
    If the the Express is operating normally, it will be solid amber for about 30 seconds, then switch to slow blinking amber. That is your sign that the Express has been reset correctly, and it can now be reconfigured again.
    If the Factory Default Reset does not help after a few tries, the Express is defective and will need to be replaced.
