Cannot see Airport Express when connected to Cisco corporate wireless - used to work, stopped cooperating recently

I have had an Airport Express at my office for several years to stream iTunes. It has worked fine, including through an upgrade to a new Cisco wireless network. Then it just stopped. I have reset, and then purchased a new AE with updated firmware. I have a green light, and when I connect via an ethernet cable I am getting all green lights, and can see that I have a valid IP address on the network, the router address is correct and the DNS servers appear to be correct. I still cannot see the AE on any Apple device connected to the wireless network....... any ideas? Is this connected to any recent IOS updates? Thanks for any insights......

Found similar (unsolved) issue in the thread below.

  • Can't stream music from iPhone to airport express when connected to internet

    I have an issue with my airport express. When the unit is used solely for streaming music from my IPhone to connected stereo speakers without an Ethernet cable attached it works fine.  When I attach an Ethernet cable to the airport express and connect to the Internet on my iPhone, the airport express will no longer stream music from the iPhone. This is a recent problem, previously I was able to access the Internet on my iPhone from the airport express, whilst simultaneously streaming music from the iPhone back to the airport express.

    Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections?  I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

  • Is it possible to use Airport Express to extend my Cisco E2500 wireless network

    Hi everyone,
           I just bought the new 2012 Airport Express yesterday, and want to extend my network which is using Cisco E2500 via the Ethernet port, but I don't know how to do it, anyone can tell me if it is possible and how to do it?

    Hi Bob, I have successfully extend my Cisco E2500 network using the 2012 Airport Express via Ethernet port, below is the things I have configured.
    1. Inside AirPort Utility - Wireless Tab, choose "Create a wireless network" in the Network Mode option, use the same Wireless Network Name, Wireless Security, Wireless Passowrd as the Cisco E2500.
    2. In the Internet Tab, I just choose using DHCP since the Cisco E2500 will be the one to distribute IP Address, then the IP address, subnet mask, router address and DNS servers address has been assigned successfully to Airport Express.
    3. In Network Tab, use "Off (Bridge Mode)" for the Router Mode option.
    4. Click Update, and let the Airport Express to update itself and restart.
    All done, and all my devices in different part of my house can access the internet connection, also my iMac in the living room and airplay music to the speaker that connect to my Airport Express inside the bedroom.

  • Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access?  Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

    Thanks for the help.  Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible.  Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it? 
    I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located.  Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet.  Thanks for the help.

    If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

  • Laptop cannot see airport express

    I have three laptops on my home network.  Two can see my airport express, one cannot.  I have the airport express set to join my home network automatically.  I am only using airport express to be able to listen to my itunes music through my home stereo.  Two laptops, my iphone, all of the ipods in my home work just fine.  The laptop that does not work is a Dell Latitude E4310 (my work laptop).
    Any ideas why I cannot see my airport express?

    When you use the Airport Utility, does the 'printers' window show your Epson being connected via USB to the Airport Express?

  • Cannot see Airport Express as an Audio Output option!

    Hello All,
    Very frustruating.
    I bought an AirPort Express hoping to use it as a Audio output device for movies/spotify etc.
    Plugged it all in to my reciever (using optical cable) configured it to my TC network.
    Opened itunes and the Airplay function is working perfectly. Music is streaming as expected.
    However i cannot see the AE in the audio output options (when i "option+click" the speaker icon).
    Tearing my hair out as this was the primary reason for purchasing the AE!
    any help would be greatly apprecaited.
    Tim

    Trying to play movies through VLC and stream the Audio component to my AirPort express. Similary use Spotify on my computer and stream the audio component.
    I thought i would be able to enable my laptop (Macbook Air) to use the Airport Express as its 'speakers' through selecting it as the output source in System preferences.
    However it does not show up in the system preferences at all, what has me stumped is the Airport Express is 100% functional through itunes as well as some third party applications (Airfoil).
    Im very confused as other users (from extensive google searching) appear to be able to atleast see the AirPort Express as an output device.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

  • MacBook can't see Airport Express when waking from sleep

    Hi,
    I have an airport express unit specifically for using with air tunes. I am find that every time my macbook wakes from sleep although it reconnects to my wireless network ok it (and therefore itunes) can't see the AX anymore.
    Rebooting the AX unit fixes the problem and i can again stream from itunes but i dont want to have to reboot the AX each time beacuse my MacBook goes in and out of sleep 5+ times a day as i move it around the house.
    I am not having any issue with audio drop out or stuttering as mentioned by others, nor does the ax stop working once streaming has begun.
    My Setup is:
    MacBook OSX 10.4.11
    Airport Express (latest firmware)
    BeBox wireless router (rebranded speedtouch) running WPA2 security
    Any suggestions on what i can do to stop this recurring?

    I've recently developed a similar problem. When my PowerBook G4 wakes from sleep it can no longer see the Airport Express. It still connects to the Internet, and the AX continues to shine a steady green light. I've written an Automator script that restarts the router, and once it reboots the AX shows up again in iTunes or the AirPort utility.
    Customer service for my router claims this is an issue with the AX. Anyone have any ideas?
    Computer: PowerBook G4, 10.5.2
    Wireless network: TrendNet TEW-432 G router, WPA, DHCP, SSID broadcast off, no MAC filter, Airport Express set up to join network (not extend).
    Thanks,

  • ITunes cannot see Airport Express / Windows XP

    I have an interesting problem that I cannot figure out.
    I am only using the Airport Express to stream music to my stereo. Therefore the Airport Express is in client mode, connected to my home network over a wireless connection (predominantly D-link hardware), WEP is enabled and working fine, and all hardware has the latest firmware. Finally, all hardware has functioning internet connections.
    My Apple Powerbook with its Airport card can connect to my Airport Express (in client mode) without difficulty. The Aiport configuration programs can "see" the Airport Express and iTunes finds the device fine. The Powerbook works the way it should, and I can stream music the way I want.
    However, the problem is that my IBM notebook cannot see the Airport Express through any of the configuration utilities, and iTunes on the notebook cannot find the Airport Express. I have tried disabling all firewall and antivirus software. iTunes is configured to look for remote speakers with Airtunes. No dice on streaming music from the IBM Notebook to the Airport express.
    What is strange is that on the IBM notebook, I can open the Airport Admin Utility and choose "other." Then I put in the IP address for my Aiport Express 192.168.0.103, and I can communicate and configure the Aiport Express.
    So the problem is iTunes cannot find the Airport Express on my IBM laptop. I have tried everything that I know of to solve the problem. I can communicate with the Airport Express on the IBM by using the "other" command in the Admin Utility. Somehow there is a flag or something that is not coming up automatically to let the notebook know that an Airport Express is in the network.
    Suggestions?

    Have you tried re-installing iTunes as the problem may lie with that and not the network setup itself.

  • How to change channel on 5GHz on new (2012) Airport Express when connecting to en excsiting network?

    Airport Express only provides channel 100 automatically when configuring it to connect to an excisting wireless network at 5GHz. This is out of range for most routers, which typicaly provieds channels 36 through 48 for connecting 5GHz devices.Only when you configure the Airport Express to establish a new wireless network it allows you to change channels manually. This is really weird. I have severeal Airport Express units (older model) around my house for streaming music, and they work just fine on 2.4 GHz, and so does the new (2012) one, but I bought it specifically to use 5GHz in a corner of my house with interference from surrounding 2.4 GHz networks, so I am really disappointed with this product. There should and must be a way to connect it to an excisting 5GHz network, but how to get the channel right in this cnfiguration mode?

    When you extend wireless you cannot switch channels.. The Express is locked to the channel used by the Extreme.. there is no choice about this.
    Reboot the extreme .. wait a minute and then reboot the express.. Channels will be tested on reboot to pick the best.. there is nothing much else you can do.

  • I keep getting error 10053 when trying to update airport express and connecting to the existing wireless network. Please help.

    can someone assist in setting up my airport express? Im not sure what the error message means...

    Hello Jacquimae,
    The only thing you can buy legitimately is the computer and the basic discs that are necessary to operate it.   All Apple apps over and above this cannot be legally sold on.   The machine should have been completely wiped and the original OS re-installed, bringing the machine to its original factory condition.   iPhoto and Garage band were part of OS 10.6.8.

  • Cannot See Airport Express in Airport Utility

    I've been browsing the other topics, but don't see one with my exact problems.
    I got an Airport Express for Christmas and was able to get it to work on my parents network; but now that I'm at home, I can't get it to even show in the Airport Utility. I've reset the AX by holding down the button for over a second. I've set my Airport Extreme to be extendable and to be n/g compatible.
    I've seen advice like making the name and pass match the base station, but I can't even get to a point where I can see it...
    Advice?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I had similar problems and was able to resolve my issue like Simon. I think you need to hard reset your Airport Extreme base station first, then open Airport Utility and reconfigure it using WAP2 encryption. Then hard reset your Airport Express (by the way, you need to unplug it, push the reset button using a paper clip and keep holding it down while plugging it back and wait until it flashes green 4 times, then release) then you should be able to see your airport express in Airport Utility, and reconfigure it to use WAP2 (I used the same password for both base stations) and, at least in my case, voila! all lights turned green and worked. Good Luck,

  • Why won't my old iMac G4 recognize my Airport Express when connected with ethernet cable?

    After I installed an Airport Extreme as a base station for my network, the G4 couldn't recognize either the Airport Express or the Airport Extreme unless it was connected by ethernet cable to the Airport Extreme - then both devices show up in the G4 utility. I have reset the Airport Express to factory settings many times and the Utility in my iMac 3.2 Ghz Intel Core 13 indicates that the Airport Express is working. Any ideas?

    I suspect its to do with the WPA setup support changes.  My very old G3 seemed to have the same issue of not able to connect to Extreme or Express.  Used to connect before years back to Apple routers but refused to in recent time for reasons not explainable so I just connect it now via cable.

  • ITunes won't play via Airport Express when connected to VPN

    Once connected to VPN iTunes just won't work but still plays on my computer. I believe it has something to do with the firewall but I do not know how to get around it. Can anyone help? I would love to listen to music via my stereo speakers while doing work...Thanks!

  • HT1731 Cannot see airport express...

    All I get is the maddening blinking orange light. When I connect it to my airport base station with an ethernet cable its fine, once I disconnect the cable and plug my speaker miniplug in, its does nothing but blink. Not easy to set up at all....please help!

    Right! Unless you intend to use the Express with an Ethernet cable plugged in to its WAN port, don't set it up that way. You are getting the blinking LED because it is looking for an Ethernet connection that no longer exists.
    Unplug its Ethernet cable, "hard reset" it and configure it again.

  • How can I use AirPort Express when traveling?

    How can I use AirPort Express when traveling?

    How can I use AirPort Express when traveling?
    Connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet port in your room.....to be able to create your own private wireless network in your room for multiple devices.
    You will still have to pay the hotel Internet charge for one device, if the hotel charges for Internet access.
    If the hotel only provides wireless service, then a single AirPort Express will not help you.
    However, if you have two AirPort Express devices, then you can use one to "join" the hotel wireless network, then connect the second Express to the first using an Ethernet cable and create your own wireless network for multiple devices in your room.
