Configure AX for iTunes through ethernet connection

I'm trying to do two things with my AX. I have a LAN wired in my house (with wireless access as well) and I'd like to connect the AX with Ethernet and use it strictly for playing iTunes through my stereo. In this configuration, I don't need it to see my wireless network.
Now, if I can get that to work, it would be helpful to use the AX to increase the range of my wireless network, but it would be connected by ethernet.
Can this work? I'll settle for just the iTunes connection. How do I config? I feel like such a noob! Thanks!

Welcome to the discussion area, Robert!
You will be able to to do what you want by configuring the AX to "create a wireless network" with the same network name (SSID), same security setting and same password as your current wireless network. But, you should configure the wireless channel on your router and the AX to be as far apart as possible to minimize the chances of interference between them.
First, reset the AX back to factory default settings as follows:
Pull the AX from power for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button +and keep holding it in+ as you plug the AX back in to power
Release the reset button after 8-10 seconds
It's a bit easier to configure the AX using AirPort Utility if you temporarily connect an ethernet cable between the AX and your computer. Once you have it configured, you can remove the ethernet cable and move the AX to the desired location.
You will use AirPort Utility to configure the AX. AirPort Utility is located as follows: Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup.
Click the Internet icon in the row of icons at the top of the setup page
Look for the Connection Sharing setting at the bottom of the next page and set this to "Off (Bridge Mode)".
Click the AirPort icon in the row of icons
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode - Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name - Enter the exact same name as your current wireless network
Radio Mode - Same setting as your current wireless network
Channel - Set this as far away as possible from the channel that the other router is using
Wireless Security - Same setting as your current wireless network
Password - Same setting as your current wireless network
Click the Airport icon in the row of icons
Click the Music icon and enable AirTunes
Update to save settings and connect the AX using ethernet to one of the LAN ports on your router. You should be good to go.
Please post back on your progress. You have what is known as a "roaming" wireless network. Your computer will automatically connect to the device with the strongest signal as it changes location.

  • How can I Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection with Server 2012?

    I have a working RDS RemoteApp site and looking to test out the feature in Windows 7 Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\RemoteApp and Desktop Connections
    I came across this link: Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection and I believe this is what I need to do first, but these instructions are for
    Server 2008, and I'm running 2012.
    Any suggestions or tips on how I can begin testing this with Server 2012?

    Hi,
    You can manually enter the path to the 2012 feed and it will connect and download the RemoteApps and Desktop connections.
    If you need a sample .wcx file I have posted one here a couple of times.  If you want I will look for it and post a link.

    I tried adding my URL's below, these are sample links that work for me right now for when I log into the web page, but neither of these work.  And I'm not sure what I would need to do with or how to create a .wcx file.

  • Is there a fix for "iTunes could not connect..."

    On my work PC (XP), I often get the message "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store". It usually happens on my first attempts to access the store in the morning. It's also seems to be random but mostly occurs on my first attempts to access the store for that day. I click on various playlist, "Podcast", "Movies" and back to store. I can usually get it working that way. Any ideas what causes this?

    I'm getting the same thing all day. Usually after the first load I close itunes then load it again and it works, but today, since the update I haven't been able to access the store or download any of my podcasts, this is a real pain since I just got a $25 gift card in the mail 8(

  • Bonjour Update For iTunes/Apple TV Connection Reliability

    Check Software Update

    intrutina wrote:
    It hasn't fixed every issue fully yet. The issue I have is that if my iMac goes to sleep for more than a couple of minutes, it won't be able to communicate with the tv when it comes back up. It then gives the port 3389 error. Before the update, I needed a reboot to get it to communicate again, now apparently I only need to restart iTunes, which is slightly better. It might even fix itself if I wait long enough, I haven't tried that yet.
    Just to rule out the obvious, have you actually done a restart of both the iMac and the Apple TV since the update? I know the software update didn't necessarily require it, but maybe the Apple TV needs to establish a fresh connection to the iMac for the Bonjour changes to fully propagate through?

  • Stream iTunes & Internet Ethernet Connection

    I have an AE and I currently stream iTunes with it. It's located at my stereo in my living room.
    I have added a BlueRay player to my home entertainment system and I now would like to activate the ethernet connector on the AE so I can get internet and connect to the BlueRay player.
    Specifically how would i do this?
    Thank you

    In order to enable the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet port will depend on which model (802.11g or 802.11n) that you have.
    You would basically have three options:
    o Wireless Distribution System (WDS) (available for both models)
    o Extend a wireless network (802.11n only)
    o ProxySTA (802.11n only)
    For either of the first two options the existing wireless router needs to be another 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort. The last option can work with either AirPort or non-AirPort routers.

  • I have an ipod that I have been using for iTunes, when I connect now to sync, and hit the eject ipod, I get a warning it can't eject due to applications being used in another program. I am having trouble disconnecting. Help!

    I am having a problem with the new iTunes store. I can connect my ipod, and it will show that it is syncing. Once the sync is complete on iTunes, my ipod still shows that it is connected, do not eject. I have not had a problem with this until the new verision of iTunes. When I go to eject my ipod, it tells me that it can't eject due to application being used in another program. I did receive an ipad 2 for Christmas, that I also sync with iTunes, but only the ipad shows up in my devices on the site, what happened to my ipod device and how to add it back to devices? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Suggestion for people with Ethernet connection problems

    I had problems getting my P965 Platinum to connect to my D-Link router and stay connected. It would connect once then on the next boot it wouldn't. I tried everything and finally, I'm not even sure what made me think of it   , I went into the Realtek properties and set it to 100Mbps/Full Duplex instead of 1000Mbps/Full Duplex and that did the trick. I thought I would share this because I know I wasn't the only having problems with it.

    65MB/s vs 15MB/s ? hmm... can you try from a very clean OS for the transffer rate? This sounds like some Windows issue...
    It is kind of clean OS install (+ windows xp service pack 2) as I just bought the mobo.
    I kicked in my old A64 rig, and used same cables I have in my room. (I actually have 2 cables coming from my 1gb switch). Amd rig kicks like 45-50mb/s, while my msi 965p gives only 15-18mb/s for maximum transfer rate.
    I quess my fileserver is bottlenecking to 50mb/s as the hdd's arent very fast, and they are quite full. Didint bother to build ramdrive for tesing as this clearly shows my msi's 1gb lan is just slow.
    What I found out is that my amd board is able to use both cables on my room @ 1000mbit rate with same performance, where my MSI does connect 1000mbit with other cable, but autonegotiates to 100mbit with another. Also cant force it to use 1000mbit with the cable it is autonegotiating to 100mbit.  Strange.
    Cables are cat6 speck. Cant try another cables as these are like 20 meters long, so Im not going to get new cable just for fun of testing.
    Cables are so called "home made" I bought something like 80 meters of this cable and some connectors and borrowed the rj45 tool from friend.
    I have constructed 1gb "intranet" to my apartmet, where every room has 1 cable, exept my own has 2. (got also 3x100mbit outbound connections (one/room), gotta love student apartments ).
    quote from w.p.o: "The D-Links meant for home users are not the best quality possible. We were able to break 3 D-links gigabit home switches in a week just with load we got from couple of servers when we did some testing at work."
    Actually this D-Link is one of the first 8-port 1GB home switches that can really achieve 8Gbit/s switching speed, where very many switches cant handle such loads and bottlenect to about 2-4gbit. (My student friends had this same box tested in some project @ university network lab).
    Cannot ping the box, as it does not have any dedicated IP address for its self, as it is not router, but switch. Pinging trought router doesnt seem to drop packets, maybe i should get some network analyzer tool so I could make bit more traffic on the lines and see if it starts dropping packets then.
    Tho might be also some bios problem or sumthing. Seems the p965 neo-f is atleast having lot of problems with all kinds of areas. Like:
    PCI cards
    Memory compatibility
    Lan

  • Ethernet connection shows openzone

    I having great issues with my broadband suddenly been very slow.  I cant load a webpage to test the connection speed such is the slow speed it is running at.
    I have a HH2 and its connected through ethernet connection.
    To my knowledge i havent changed any settings.
    i have noticed that when it picks up the ethernet connection it shows as openzone-h 2.
    I have spoken with bt help desk and at first they said there was a miss match on the broadband line.  Though they couldnt explain what one of these was. They rest the broadband line and said their systems were showing speeds of around 6mbps.  left it a few days and still no joy.  Again spoke with them they said there was another miss match and they would reset it.
    Is it something simple my end ie settings are wrong etc.
    I have changed microfilters, adsl cables, ethernet cables.  even tried wireless connections and used all 3 sockets in the house.  I just cant get the pc to connect to the homehub full stop wirelessly.
    any help would be good thanks 

    sorry but are you trying to connect to the hub wireless or ethernet cable?
    If you are using the ethernet cable have you disabled the wifi card first?  if you are trying wireless and getting openzone then go to youe wireless connections and delete all previous coonnections, reboot and try to find your hub ssid not fon/openzone and connect.  see if that then connects to your router

  • Do I have to use my computer for my ipad or can i just connect to itunes through the ipad?

    Do I have to use my computer for my ipad or can I just connect to itunes through the ipad only?

    Vague.
    What are you trying to accomplish?
    The ipad is not a stand alone device.  It is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.
    You can buy itunes content from your ipad, but you need to transfer it to your computer and included it in your regular backup of your computer.
