Cannot get Airport Express to join AT&T U-Verse (2Wire) for printing
I just switched to AT&T U-Verse and now cannot get my Airport Express to join the network to provide wireless printing. When I go through Airport Utility to configure the Airport to join an existing network to provide wireless printing it initally states setting change success and begins a restart process from which it never is found on the network again. I contacted Apple Care who was very thourough in running various tests and settings and even checking AT&T 2-Wire network settings. They even replaced my airport (which was 3 years old but covered under the Apple Care I purchased with my new iMac - very cool). However, new Airport Express was still not able to join the network. After another hour of working with Apple Care with the new Express the expert advised the issue must be with AT&T 2-Wire security settings. I contacted AT&T U-Verse internet support and was advised they charge by the hour for network support and there is no guarantee it will be resolved.
Anyone have this issue?
Just found solution from another post from Mark:
I had the same problem... couldn't get the AE to join the network. Here is how I got it to work. Go to the 2Wire config page in safari. For me it's <http://192.168.1.254> Go to settings tab. Go to LAN tab. Go to wireless heading. Under "Security", change "Authentication Type" to "WPA2-PSK (AES)". After the 3800HGV-B reboots, use Airport utility to configure the AE to join the wireless network. I have no idea why, but it works. The light is solid green and I can play Airtunes through my antique AE using iTunes or iPhone. Hope it works for you as well. Mark

Can't get AirPort Express to join LINKSYS WRT54G wireless network
After several unsuccessful attempts to follow Tesserax's advice to get my AX to join my LINKSYS wireless network, I depressed the reset button, plugged the AX in, and waited for the flashing reset confirmation. Reconfiguring from scratch to join my WPA network, all seemed to go well. After selecting to Update, the following window pops up:
<The settings for this AirPort Express have been successfully updated. You can close this window or wait for this AirPort Express to restart.
Waiting for the AirPort Express to restart…>
After a couple of minutes the following window appears:
<AirPort Utility was unable to find your AirPort Wireless device after restarting.
The settings for this AirPort wireless device have been successfully updated, but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the AirPort wireless device. You may need to select your network from the Wi-Fi menu and try again.>
At this point, AirPort Utility will no longer recognize the AX, no matter how many times I rescan. The only way I can get it to be recognized is to once again do a hard factory reset. I then go through the whole set up process again, only to end up in the same dead end. I'm thinking that there has to be some sort of problem between the AX and the LINKSYS. Prior to the above activity, I was able to send iTunes to the AX just fine. I just wasn't able to surf the Internet at the same time.
Any ideas you might have will be appreciated.Thomas - I have a very similar problem - I've got a Wi-Fi/ADSL2 router supplied by my telecom company AirTel (the router's called 'beetel', 802.11g model) and I'm having problems extending it with Airport Express - the Airport Utility doesn't seem to be able to detect the AE after restart. The only difference with your case seems that you have a Linksys piece.
Here's what I tried:
1. Had my Wi-Fi network up & running with the beetel router (network name: PASTA)
2. Booted Airport Express
3. Launched Airport Utility 5.5.3 from Windows 7, detected the Airport Express, chose Manual Setup and went for option "Extend my Wireless Network" and chose PASTA and specified its password
3. Airport Utility restarted the device after saving changes, and Aiport Express went invisible.
That sounds like the same problem you had.
Just to cross check, I tried connecting an Ethernet cable between AE and the beetel router and went for option "Create Wireless Network" and that was a breeze.
@Tesserax - can Airport Express smoothly extend only an Airport Extreme WiFi network? Is there anything I can do to extend my current Wi-Fi network from this router?
Thanks for your notes & time

New to wireless Cant get airport express to join airport extreme network
So... I just got this MBP yesterday along with airport extreme and airport express. I got the base station set up i just cant get the express to connect for the life of me... help anybody? Everything is in range i know that for a fact. I just cant get it configured and i already looked on the airport express support page and followed the instructions and i still can't get it. :-/
Factory reset your Airport Express (AX).

Connect to the Airport Extreme Network
Use the Airport Assistant to configure a new base station and configure the AX to join an existing wireless network (either use client mode, only extend your network if you need to do so).

Cannot get Airport express to recognize on Vista PC
Hi,
I purchased the AirPort Express to play music off my Sounddock Portable in my Kitchen from a wireless signal off my router thats connected to a modem connected to my PC. I have a Linksys WRT150N Wireless Router that everyone in my house uses to access the internet. The modem is hooked up to the router in the computer room thats hooked directly to the Windows Vista PC. I am downstairs with an iMac, and also have a Macbook in the livingroom that transmits wireless internet just fine off this router.
I first setup the Airport utility on the PC that the modem is connected to. Then I plugged in the Airport express and it turned green first, then flashed the blinking amber from then on. I opened up Airport Utility and it didn't read anything but prompted "A newer version (5.2.1) is available" so I click "Update" and it just disappears the prompt, and nothing downloads?
I do a google search, find the 6.3 i believe it was, firmware update for windows.. try downloading that and I get an error when trying to set it up.. so apparently, I can't update this Airport Utility, and can't read the Airport Express.
Just for curiousity, I brought the Airport Express downstairs, and plugged it into the wall and get the blinking amber. I installed the Airport Utility software to the iMac. It didn't pick it up on that, but also prompted an update needed. So my faithful Mac is able to update the software and then boom, it can recognize it. I didn't go into any setup with it due to the fact that I just had the airport express hooked up to the wall with no ethernet cable (as I want to use the airport express wirelessly). I don't understand how it was blinking amber but my iMac could still at least go into the next screen.
I did try opening up my routers settings to see if anything was blocked. I saw in the security that MAC address filtering was disabled, so i enabled it and added the "Airport ID" MAC Address on the Airport Express in the list to allow to connect to, just to see if that would help, but it didnt.
What I need is to get this to work as I spent $100 assuming it would pick up my wireless signal as do my other apple products, and so my family could enjoy music from the iTunes on my PC to the Sounddock in the kitchen. I was hoping it would be plug and play like my iMac and Macbook were. Please help as I would prefer to not return this item and just get it working =PMake sure you have the "latest" Airport Admin version of the SW for your PC.
Secondly, just plug the PC directly into the Ethernet port on the Airport. (You probably need a Xover cable). It's been awhile since I've had to do this. So, double check the manual. Worst case, you can "reset" the Airport back to its defaults... Then update it from there.

How to set Time capsule as base station and airport express to join
I have a wireless network using an Airport express. Now I would like to have time capsule to be set up as the base station and just the airport express to join this network, in order to listen wirelessly to music, but keep the speed of the time capsule.
Right now, the ethernet cable is connected to the Airport express. Do I have to switch that to the Time capsule? I tried to do that, but it wasn't able to connect to the internet in this case.... I am lost. Now I have a speedy time capsule, but have the network running on the slow Airport express... Please help!!! And I believe as you guessed already, I am not a smarty, when it comes to networks.
HELP! Please!!I actually have mine set up this way that you are looking to do. Works well for me. here si what you can try:
Make sure you unplug the Express all together first. It does interfere when trying to set this up. Next setup your TC just like the instruction says (remember no Express). You should just be able to set up your TC, connect to the internet and get going like any other router or like the Airport Extreme. if you set up your TC with your comp and CANNOT access the internet that is your first problem. My suggestion: do a hard reset of the TC if you have already attached it to the Express while also doing a hard reset of the Express - this is to bring them both back to afctory defaults to start fresh. This definitaely helped me.
So once you have your TC up and running and you have internet access thru your TC, you are halfway there. Make sure your TC shows in the left column of the Airport Utility (and dont forget to install the Airport Utility from the disc that comes with teh TC before you do any of this, forgot that). if it shows up in the left column you should also be able to see the Express in that column, both with green lights, if you have set this up correctly. Then plug in the Express. As the above mentioned remember t make sure it is connected to the correct port on that back of the TC. It will remain amber then blink a few times. This is normal. It should be blinking amber when you attempt the setup of the Express. Your airport utility shoul dnow see the addt base station (Express) in the left column. When you click on it and click CONTINUE it will ask you if you want to switch networks. You can do that and lick switch provided you are already connected to the TC and alrady have an internet connection. Once you click switch the TC will disappear from the left column and you will be left only with the Express. This is OK. I am not in fron to fm y comp right now so I am doing this from memory but in setting up the Express you want to add it to your existing network. You will have to choose which network to add it to in a drop down box in one of those steps - just make sure you add it to the one that you named your TC. Then click to the finish and click UPDATE. Let it finish the update - you shoul dsee green light son both the TC and Extreme HARDWARE - not necessarily in the airport utility. Also it is a good idea to to to the menu bar on top where the WiFi icon is and manually select your network in case you get bumped off while the TC is updating itself after you ckicl update - this happened ot me and it wouldnt complete the update and took me forever to figure out it needs internet connection to complete the update screen.
next make sure you RESTART your comp. This I guess will make all changes basically go into effect as you cycle it up. When you are up and running you should see your WiFi connect as your TC and NOT your Express. Also go back into airport utility and see if you ahve both items listed in left column - they too should have a greenlight. If they do you should be set.
I did this because I wanted to steam my iTunes files that I have on my TC to stream to iTunes via my network. The Express part, as you know, is what allows the streaming. So make sure you plug your stereo cable into the Express audio port. Then go to iTunes and on the bottom you will notice a new little drop down box - make sure to select Express so it can wireless stream (in iTunes prefs there is a pref you must turn on also to allow iTunes to see remote speakers.
Ive simplified this a little since I am not at home but this is the gist. In a prefect worl you should be able to easily have this work. I did so I know it does at least work if not anything else. You just have to make sure you get the steps correct and have everyhing plugge din where they should be...

Can't get airport express to connect to internet after ISP changed my modem
Hi. My internet service provider installed fibre optic to my house, so they gave me a new modem. Have not been able to get airport express to connect to the internet ever since. Just get the flashing amber light. Other than paying $50 for phone support, I have no idea what to do. I just use the airport so I can play music from iTunes from my stereo using airplay. I use the airport utility on my laptop.
Does the new modem provide a Wi-Fi network? If it does, and your only goal with Express is for iTunes streaming, the Express would just need to be reconfigured to join the new modem's wireless network. Please check out the following Apple Support article for details.

cannot connect airport express to ipad
I keep receiving the message: "an unexpected error occurred" when I try to connect my Ipad to my airport express. Does anyone have a solution?I could not "see" my Express via my wireless router or via the Airport Utility until I reset it to Factory Settings by unplugging it then holding in the tiny reset button while plugging it back in, waiting for the flashing yellow LED signal before letting go.
Then I set it up to DHCP - "connect to wireless network" and DOWNGRADED the firmware to 7.3.x
I would tell you the exact Firmware but I can no longer "see" the Airport express............ AGAIN or still.....
BUT at least I am listening to music streaming from my MacBook Pro... Hmmm.
I log back into the router (Linksys WRT110) and it no longer shows the Airport Express as a DHCP client AND the Airport utility can no longer "find" any Airport Devices..
So if I don't move, or there are no cosmic events, or maybe my KARMA is effecting the device or my "VIBES" are good, but I'm not sure if will continue to work.. Sure would like to use this little device from hel*.
Since I have had this Airport Express I have spent many hours trying to get it to work.
It works just long enough to fool me and then takes a dump...
Maybe this time?
5 Minute later...
Music was playing. I went into iTunes and switched from Airtunes to Computer speakers. When I tried to switch it back GUESS WHAT?
[An unknown error (-15006) occurred while trying to connect to remote speaker "Airtunes"]
Wonderful Green LED though. Totally useless piece of equipment AFAIK.

Cannot connect Airport express wireless
Hello, cannot connect airport express wireless to linksys router. Connected now with ethernet cable but cannot figure wireless connection. My laptop cannot find the express while preforming setup scan, yet I'm connected to it. I can connect with my iphone but not wirelessly. Any suggestions?
....I was then told over the phone that airport express will not connect to third party routers.
This is NOT correct.
The AirPort Express will connect to a wireless network if you know the following:
1) The name of the wireless network
2) The exact setting for wireless security that the network is using
3) The wireless network password
Most users know 1) and 3), but very few know the exact type of wireless security settings that their wireless router is using. The Express will not connect to the wireless network unless it receives all of the information listed above.
So...we will assume that you know the name of the wireless network and the password for the network.
Do you know the exact type of wireless security setting that your wireless router is using? If not, the Express will not connect.
You may need to check the setup of your wireless router....or if the router was supplied to you by an Internet Service Provider, they may be able to tell you what type of wireless security setting is being used.
Post back when you have this info and we will proceed. There are still no guarantees that the Express will connect....but at least there may be a chance. -
New router now can't get airport express to work

The following KB article assumes that the user has a configured AirPort Express:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1731
I reset my AirPort Express, because the SSID of the WiFi network changed and its name is not broadcast for security reasons.
When using the "AirPort Utility" ( not the "AirPort Admin Utility" – which is the wrong name of the application in the article! ) the application found the unconfigured AirPort Express, connected to the LAN via ethernet; However, when selected, the configuration "wizard" assumes that the user wants to configure the AirPort Express as a WiFi base station.
I selected the option to have the AirPort Express join a WiFi network; However, the AirPort Utility sent back an error, saying that a "Base station" ( WiFi network?! ) could not be found. Well, guess what? That's because the SSID of the network I want the AirPort Express to join.
UGH!
...and the best part is that there is no other solution, but to run with the AirPort Utility's assumptions, configure the AirPort Express as a WiFi Base station, then follow the KB article's instructions ( which are not accurate ) to re-configure the AirPort Express as a WiFi client.
This is a really bad user experience, Apple.
Please try following your own instructions to see how fantastically they fail..then, re-write your KB articles.
Thanks,
PS — If anyone knows of any easier methodologies, do tell. (That's the "question" part of this inquiry )
PPS — My Mac Pro, which I used to configure the AirPort Express, does not have WiFi.
PPPS — Why do all the articles that match searches for "AirPort Express" return articles that refer to "AirPort Base Stations"?! Please, for the love of UX, be consistent!Here are the basic steps:
Run the AirPort Utility
Select the AirPort Express
Click on Manual Setup
Click on the AirPort icon
Click on the Wireless tab
For Wireless Mode, select the "Join a wireless network" option
In the Wireless Network Name field, enter the SSID of the hidden wireless network you want the Express to join.
Select the approrpriate wireless security type in the Wireless Security window.
Enter the appropriate wireless security password for the hidden network.
Click on Update. -
I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not. I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result. I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.
