Comcast Internet connection no longer works with Airport Express

This is a little bit out of my depth, so I'm hoping that someone can help me.
I've been accessing Comcast High Speed Internet through my Airport Express connection for more than a year. Things were great until last week when my connection stopped working. The only way I'm able to access the internet is by connecting my iBook directly to the modem.
I tried resetting my Airport Express. I even did it manually so I could manually enter the DNS Servers and Domain Name. That worked for about two days, but now I'm back to where I need to connect directly to the modem.
Maybe there's something I'm not doing correctly. I'd appreciate any help I could get.

gerasco, welcome to the discussions,
It sounds like you are doing everything right and the AirPort Express may be acting up.
Normally, you would reset this device by plugging it in and holding in the reset button until the amber light flashes rapidly.
This time, try a hard reset as follows:
Unplug the AirPort Express
Hold in the reset button and CONTINUE to hold it in as you plug in back in to power
Release the reset button after approx 10 seconds.
Setup the Express again and see if that helps. If you continue to experience problems with the Express, it is likely that it will need to be replaced or repaired.
Please post back on your progress.

  • Airtunes no longer working with AirPort Express? can anyone help?!

    so i recently bought a refurbished airport express and i loved how i could stream audio over the wireless network via airtunes but the delay was a bit annoying so i took it upon myself to try and find a solution to this.
    I bought a reverse audio splitter (1 female to 2 male) thinking that i could plug my speakers into the female end of the splitter, leave one of the male audio jacks plugged into the airport express, and the other male end into my computer so when i was at my desk the audio would go straight from my computer to the speakers (bypassing the airport altogether) and the delay problem with airtunes would be solved.
    this worked for a little bit, but the next day when i went to play a song via airtunes it didnt work.. no error messages, just no sound.. i did some investigating and found that there was a red light coming from the audio jack on the airport express which i found out could mean that either it is in optical mode or that it is just dead..
    But here's the real weird part!! so i also have the program called AirFoil to transmit audio from the internet to my speakers via the airport express, and the speakers connected to the airport can play itunes when AirFoil is connected to itunes even though the light is still red inside the airport audio jack!! weird huh?
    Anyways, i just wanna know if there is anything that i can do to fix my AirTunes sound output since it seems like the audio jack on the airport express isnt totally dead??

    I'm in the same boat. I can still get on the web with it, but neither airport utility or itunes can see it. disappointing to say the least.

  • BBC Radio Player no longer works with Airport Express

    This weekend I've been unable to get connected to the BBC Radio Player (from http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio). This has worked for the past year, and suddenly stopped.
    I have narrowed the problem down to the airport express. Radio streaming works without a hitch when I plug in the ethernet cable direct to either mac, or when I connect to another local Wi-Fi connection. But when I use Airport Express, the radio streaming always times-out.
    I even set up one of the computers to share internet over the airport, and was easily able to stream the radio connection to the other computer: so the airport cards themselves are working perfectly.
    I wondered if anyone else had the same problem. I've noticed it since I upgraded to 10.4.3 and included the 2005-01 Airport Update, though I didn't notice the problem for several days (I did no streaming in that time).
    I've tried downgrading to Airport 4.2, and even Airport Express Firmware 6.1.1, but nothing has solved the problem. There isn't an obvious setting I've missed - is there?
    If anyone else can stream BBC Radio with all the recent updates applied through Airport Express, I would be interested in hearing from them...

    Well, I found the answer to my problem. I'll add it here, in case someone else ever has the same problem.
    My Speedtouch modem was set to distribute DHCP addresses. But my Airport Express was ALSO set to do this. This had the strange effect of allowing everything to work, apart from Real Player radio/video streams. I have no idea why this was the only effect.
    The solution was to set the Airport Express to do nothing, and let the modem do it all. Now both computers can stream radio at the same time, and everything is fine. But it took many hours to find the problem.

  • MacBook Pro late 2008 no longer working with Airport Express

    Hi,
    since a few days I have big problems with my MacBook Pro (late 2008) and my Airport Express. The MacBook can't find the airport express anymore, even not with the airport utility...
    The Airport Express is correctly configured as my Ipod, Blackberry and Dell pc are connecting to it and do have internet access...
    I can only manage the Airport Express when I'm directly connected to it with an ethernet cable.
    My brother has an airport expreme, I tested it with my MacBook Pro and there it just works fine...
    Can anyone help me? Has it something to do with an update for Mac OS X or the firmware from the Airport Express?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the response,
    1. I live in Atlanta, close enough to an Apple store. But I just know that going there will probably mean I'll have to get the logic board replaced.
    2. The only thing I noticed before the first USB port started acting funny was that my battery status changed to "Service Battery". I plan on replacing it this week too.
    3. Nope only difference is that my battery drains kind of fast. After about 3-4 hours of my normal usuage with it (Internet, music, videos, and sometimes using Logic) it will be time to hook up the charger.
    Would replacing the battery do anything? I'm not thinking it would but figure it'd be worth a shot since I've got to replace it anyway.
    And to goofyziggy,
    I too noticed that most people who had this problem had some version of OSX 10.8.x

  • Sharing internet connection using 4200 speedstream with airport express

    I have xp windows sp2 loaded on a desktop with ethernet connection to a modem and have a macbook pro laptop using airport express. I have to reset the modem to full bridge mode to access the internet when using airport express wireless connection,this disables the connection to the internet on my desktop ( the error displayed is low conductivity through the modem). To get my desk top to work on the internet I have to reset the modem and set it to optus bridge. This allows access to the internet but disables my airport express connecton.
    Is there a way to allow sharing my connection to the internet without reseting the modem.

    G'day mate,
    The SpeedStream 4200 supplied to Telstra BigPond customers is a single user device, connect it to a 'Switch' or 'Router' to share the Internet Service or, replace the whole thing with an ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router and get coverage all over your house.

  • ITunes 10.5.3 no longer works with Airport Express

    I updated to iTunes 10.5.3 and can no longer play music through Airport Express.
    An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “XXXXX AirPort Express”. An unknown error occurred (-15000).
      System Version:    Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
    I have reset and restarted the Airport Express.

    I noticed this too and think it's by design. The new master volume slider in the AirPlay window is set at the highest volume in your list of speakers. Drag either the master volume or your external speaker slider to max, and you should get normal volumes out of your Airport Express speakers.
    Unfortunately, the volume slider on the iTunes window seems to be the master volume now, rather than just the volume for the computer. So if you mute the computer using that slider, you mute all speakers. To mute just the computer, you have to do it though the AirPlay speaker list now. Unless I'm missing a preference setting somewhere... thought there used to be something in iTunes or Airport Utility that let you toggle this behavior, but I don't see anything now...

  • Internet Connection no longer working with WRT54G V3 Router

    I have had a WRT54G V3 router working successfully for a number of years now with a couple wireless PCs through a cable modem with Comcast as my ISP.  All of a sudden yesterday, neither PC could access the internet.  No changes had been made to the router.
    I contacted Comcast and they of course had me hard-wire one of my PCs into the cable modem.  That worked and I was able to access the internet.  However, when I tried to put the router back in place (in either a wired or wireless fashion), I could not access the internet.
    I've tried following the online Linksys troubleshooting documention.  The lights that should be lit on the router are lit.  I can access the router setup web page which shows the settings still intact.  I've tried going through the power sequencing to no avail.  Comcast says my router is the culprit of my problem, but I don't know why it would all of a sudden stop working.  My wireless printer still works so it detects a signal and my PC shows it's connected, but no internet access is possible.
    What do I need to do?  Are there any other diagnostic tools available?  The Chat people won't help because I'm out-of-warranty. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here's a trick on how to do the reset on the router.

  • TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?

    TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?
    My TC and modem have been up and running for at least the last 2 years without any issues.
    It recently started acting up and I would have restart it as I had no internet access. All of a sudden My TC stopped connecting to internet regardless of restart. Utility shows i have no internet connection. I had all the correct green lights on my modem. I figured it might be the modem and connected directly to single ethernet port in modem to my mac book and it worked. When I reconnect modem to TC and restart Modem, TC still shows no internet connection in utility even though I'm getting green sync light on TC.
    Help Please.
    I'm out of warranty, I have not reset to default yet, Im not sure if I will loose my TC back up data.
    please advice

    The Gen4 has some nasty faults.. mostly unrepairable...
    If the WAN is gone it becomes pretty well useless at least in its current role as router.
    You might still be able to plug it in by ethernet to a LAN port in bridge.
    Do try a full factory reset.. always worth a go.
    No files will be lost on the hard disk.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Check the ethernet LED is going on.. both on the modem and the TC WAN port.
    Do you have any applecare on a computer? If so it might cover the TC.. the rules are complicated but if the TC was bought within 2years before or after the computer it is covered up to max of 3years. You can still get coverage therefore if the TC is over 1 year but less than 2 years by buying applecare now on a computer or an Apple TV which is not too expensive. You can sell off the Apple TV without even opening it.. but use the applecare on it to get your TC replaced.
    Only the very first Gen4 will be up to 3years.
    Did you have a lightning storm or something btw?? Sometimes the modem can survive and pass the parcel to the TC which seems rather fragile.
    There is also a trick to test..
    You must have v5 airport utility.. any older Macs, or windows computer you can load on 5.6 utility .. even dual boot/parallels mac.
    Go to the WAN setup.. and set the ethernet port to 10mbit half duplex.
    Sometimes a damaged port can still manage the slowest speed.. by magic.

  • We have a Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 and cannot get the printer to work with airport express - any suggestions?

    Can anyone give us suggestions on how to get our Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 to work with airport express? We cannot get airport express to recognize the printer.

    Refresh all your devices before reconfiguring printer to connect to your computer.
    a Shutdown computer
    b Pull out printer power cord from the socket. Let it stay for at least 30 seconds then plug it back.
    c Powercycle your router (unplug your router for at least 30 then plug it back. This will not change the settings of the router. This will just refresh the device)
    d Once router is ready , put back brick at the back of the printer to turn it on
    e Wait one minute
    f Turn on computer
    Repair your disk permission: http://bit.ly/OeD7U3
    Run Cleanup tool http://bit.ly/vnukXY

  • Does Apple list available printers that work with AirPort Express?

    Just bought an AirPort Express hoping that I could print wirelessly with my HP 1350 All-in-One, and it won't work. Found out after the fact that my printer doesn't support USB wireless printing.
    I'm looking for a basic color printer to work with AirPort Express for wireless printing by other family members, and I'll continue to use my HP 1350 with USB for scanning and OCR functions.
    Does Apple provide a list of recommended printers that will work with AirPort Express?

    No Apple doesn't any more.
    I have been maintaining a community created list.
    http://tech.ifelix.net/1013.html
    This is an unofficial list of USB printers which are are compatible with the AirPort Extreme Base Station and Airport Express. Printers in bold have been added to the original list that Apple provided.
    Printers in dark red are in fact the only printers I have personally tested.
    Please also note that due to changes in the firmware of both the Airport Extreme base station and the introduction of the Airport Express some printers which are in this list may no longer in fact be compatible.

    I would recommend just about anything from either Bose or Audioengine that are self-powered and provide either analog or digital audio inputs. One example would be the Audioengine A2+ speakers.
