Does Airport express can be used for other non-apple products, such as lenovo laptop?

Can someone plesase help me? I am so confuse on the apple products?

Its a wireless router - NOT a modem - You need to subscribe with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) operating in your domain (Country).
You normally pay the ISP monthly for Internet access and many/most will supply you with a modem as part of the package.
Most ISPs deliver the Internet access down your existing fixed telephone line - this is either ADSL or DSL and its very common for the ISP modem device to incorporate built on Wifi functionality.
This means you do not need to buy an Airport Express/Extreme at all.
Caveat the "free" modem/routers are frequently prior models and almost always require firmware updates for optimum performance.
However if your chosen ISP delivers your Internet access over fibre cable these companies usually provide a simple modem and to provide the wireless routing an Airport Express may be ideal

To get TV on your iMac off the cable box you would need to use an external TV tuner device such as the company ElGato is highly regarded for. I have used one of their EyeTV products for many years with my iMac to watch television shows from my Comcasst cable TV box. You can look at the models here:

How do I use the new Airport Express as an extender for a non-Apple router?

We have an "Arris" router in our house and are thinking of buying an Airport Express to extend the internet. How can we use the Airport express as a repeater on a non-Apple router without having to use millions of ethernet cables?

Apple designed their "extend a wireless network" to only work with other Apple routers wirelessly, so it would be extremely unlikely like it would work with an Arris wireless router.
Your best bet is to always use products from the same manufacturer if you need this type of feature on your network to insure compatibility.
If Arris does not offer a product for this purpose, a "universal" extender like the Netgear device linked below might be able to do what you want. It was not "universal" enough to extend an Apple network when I tested a device recently.

I have an Apple TV and an Airport Express, can I use these to stream all audio from either my iPhone or my MacBook Pro, including Pandora?

I have purchased an Apple TV and an Airport Express as a gift for a loved one and was under the impression that these two would not only allow for movies, videos etc would be streamed to the TV from my MacBook Pro, but also set up Airport Express with speakers and stream music from my laptop or iPhone. Is there a way for all music, including Pandora, to be streamed through the Airport Express? I can only figure out how it works with iTunes, not Pandora.
Thanks for the help!!!

ITunes 11 Airplay works for one Airport express, can't see the other

I have two Airport Express units in my house - both working, both with speakers hooked up to them. My iPhone can send music to both of them, but iTunes 11 only shows one of them. Any ideas?

oops - screen shot didn't upload for some reason, but it just shows my iTunes airplay window only showing "computer" and "Core Station-Upstairs" - not "Sunroom"

My airport express can't use airplay

i use macbook pro and try to use airplay via airport express but them said error -15006

I am familiar with using airplay. Thanks for trying though.
I should add that with a USB wireless dongle, I'm able to use airplay from the desktop, but when I use the Airport Express unit to join the network, no Airplay targets are visible.
I don't want to go back to using the dongle, as it means noticably slower internet speeds. Surely an Apple branded network device is no worse when using Apple Airplay than a third party dongle?

HT4259 Airport Express Ethernet port used for home entertainment?

I use my Airport Express to extend my network with my 2TB TimeCapsule base station. The Airport Express has one ethernet port. Can I buy some other device with say 3 or 4 ethernet ports and plug it into the one ethernet port on the AP Express to connect all my home entertainment devices? What should I buy if this can work?

As long as you are talking about the N version of the Express.. what is often called Gen1.. then any switch will do the job. The express is only 100mbit.
The cost of network switch is $20-40 depending on the number of ports and if it is older 10/100 or gigabit.. IMHO buy 8 port gigabit.. any brand you want,, they are much the same.. metal case ones are nicer than plastic.. but they are cheap consumer item in any computer store.
If you buy what I suggest, it will be useful well into the future.. the slower 5 port is cheaper but the usefulness of it into the future is questionable..

How many Airport Extreme's and Airport Express can extend line for distance

I am trying to link multiple AEBS/AE's together to cover a fairly long distance between two houses....Is this possible? I already have the 2 AEBS's linked together between two houses going across a street. However, the link is not that strong and I am seeing packet loss. I am thinking to plug at least one AE in at the far end of the house closest to the window to possibly help get a stronger signal going across the street.
Would this work? Will it just add too much latency?
DSL Modem---AEBS-1>>><<<AE>>><<AE>><<<AEBS2---iMac on gigE

Welcome to the discussion area, 0dB!
+Would this work?+
The short answer here would unfortunately be a "no". Read further for explanations.
If this is a newer AirPort Extreme (AEBS) "n" device and you are using a newer AirPort Express (AX) "n" device, you will not be able to configure the network as you describe. The reason for this is that the AX communicates directly to the main AEBS in the "extend a wireless network configuration". So the setup would look like this:
Main AEBS > Remote AX.
That's the limit of this type of setup, although you could have multiple remote devices if you wish. It's like the hub and spoke of a wheel. The AEBS would be the hub and AX would be at the end of a spoke. No further extension is possible from the AX, although you could have several devices communicating to the AEBS if needed.
Apple's older WDS configuration allows the following:
Main AEBS > Relay AX > Remote AX.
That is the limit of this type of setup. Keep in mind that there will be a tremendous loss of performance with this type of setup as follows:
1) The entire network will operate at "g" level wireless
2) The bandwidth of the network will drop to only 25% of the original bandwidth
With WDS, in effect, you will have a "g" wireless network operating at 25% of its normal capability.

Airport Express: can I use it as a repeater fo amplify my AT

can I use an Airport Express as a repeater fo amplify my AT&T 2WIRE wireless signal?
I Am running several wireless cameras in my home but the signal from router is too weak to provide
a reliable connection.
CAn the Airport Express be set to amplify the ÀT& T wireless signal? Or will it only work with the wireless from my Mac❓

can I use an Airport Express as a repeater fo amplify my AT&T 2WIRE wireless signal?
Yes, if you establish a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection from your ATT router to the AirPort Express. Ethernet cable can be run up to 330 feet or about 100 meters with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the AirPort Express just about anywhere it might be needed.
No, if you cannot establish a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection from your ATT router to the AirPort Express using Ethernet cabling or power line adapters.

What is the difference between airport extreme and airport express, can i use an airport extreme to extend internet and also the airport express ?

CAN YOU TELL ME THE REAL USE ?

Oh wow, now I wished I would have researched this more, We currently have the airport extreme and wanted a backup drive and was referred to get the time capsule. So i guess i need to choose which one to use.

Can I use an airport with a non apple product such as net gear

I have been wanting to get another router because I am going to be playing some ps4 pretty soon here in the next week and I was wondering if I could get an airport express to extend my houses wifi, but we have a router that isn't from apple. Could a airport express work with that? Or would have I have to buy another airport express and replace the router I currently have? Any answer would help thanks, appreciate it a lot!

The AEX can only connect wirelessly to your router in Bridge Mode. It can Join your existing network, but it cannot Extend it. Given that you can connect an Ethernet cable from the AEX to your PS4. But since the connection to your router is wireless there is no speed increase. That will only occur by connecting the PS4 by Ethernet directly to a LAN port on the main router. There's no way around that unless you put a second cable connection in the other side of the house. If you have to do that then you might as well run Ethernet cables. You can hire someone to run the cable up through the attic area and down the wall to an outlet box with an Ethernet jack in it.

AirPort Utility Can't See Extreme via Non-Apple Bridge

I have an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station serving my network. Connected to the APExtreme I have a non-Apple brand wi-fi router that's in bridge mode so that a few devices in another room can still get wired network and the upstairs section of the house that's too far from the AirPort can get Wi-Fi via the non-Apple router's Wi-Fi.
It all works fine and speeds are fast. However, my MacBook Pro is one of the devices hooked up to the non-Apple via wired Ethernet. When I open the AirPort Utility it doesn't see the APEXtreme.
Is this as expected or should it still be able to find the AirPort through the Bridge? If the latter is true, what's keeping mine from seeing it? Any suggestions?

You need to spell out the connection.. is this non-apple device connected by ethernet or is it a universal wireless repeater/bridge.
What is the make and model of the box that is acting as repeater.. also if 3rd party firmware tell us clearly what you are running.
In most wireless repeater, client bridge setups you have a big problem.. as all clients behind the repeater look like the same device to the main AE. It cannot tell what is who.. and is also likely to have bonjour issues.. which is essential for things like airport utility to work.

Try a manual access. Find the IP of the AE.. from something that is plugged into it.. if normal default router mode it will show, 10.0.1.1
In airport utility have you
1. Changed over to ethernet.. nothing will show without doing this.. it always defaults to wireless. In an extremely odd way ethernet devices are shown under Other Wi-Fi Devices.. isn't that completely obvious!!
2. Ensure you have ipv6 set on ethernet to link-local only.
3. If nothing shows up do it even more manually and type in the address you already discovered.
No password is needed if defaults.. but also type in your access password if you changed it.
You should then get the full summary screen.

How Many AirPort Expresses can you use with BaseStatio to Exended Coverage?

I have the airport Extreme N Base station and have one airport N Express hooked up to get better coverage...
can I hook up more than 1 express to make a bigger coverage area on my property?
Thanks

can I hook up more than 1 express to make a bigger coverage area on my property?
Yes, but you cannot connect the additional 802.11n base stations in series to extend the range as the 802.11n "extend" feature does not support relays like in a 802.11g WDS.
