Does airport express have auto on/off schedule feature? Or any other ways to turn it on/off automatically.
The Timed Access feature of the AirPort Express will allow you set the specific times that each wireless device will be allowed to connect to the wireless network each day.
However, this feature cannot be used to "turn on", or "turn off" the AirPort Express device. -
Does airport express have to be wired to the internet
I have a new BT Infinity HomeHub and I want to extend the range of it's wireless capabilities using an airport express, in another room/part of the house. I want to know if in order to use this airport express as a bridge to extend the internet I have to plug it into the internet directly via an ethernet cable or just plug it into a wall and it will wirelessly connect and boost my signal stregnth. Thanks.

You wil need to connect it to your HomeHub with a Cat5 cable, it will not extend wirelessly. -
Does AirPort Express require better Internet than Ethernet?
Wondering since I was having intermittent problems w my Linksys router & trouble updating it so thought switching to Airport Express would give me a simple way to get things working.
Very disappointed that noes it's worse than before. Yesterday after a # of tries I did get it partly set up & although amber blinking lights, I was able to use Internet.
Called Set up AppleCare call online to resolve amber light issue. She had me reset modem & when we were done, I again had green light on Airport BUT NO INTERNET CONNECTION. She said to call my ISP cox.
I did try after a reset to connect MacbookPro directly to Ethernet & got it to connect. Then I unplugged Ethernet from Mac & plugged into airport & no connection again.
So instead of Airport Express making things better, they are worse. I'm typing this on my iPhone 4S which for some reason has really slowed down.
I learned that my old Motorola Surfboard modem is Docsis 2.0 & cox is switching to 3.0.
But it was working better, although frequent brief loss of connection.
So does Airport require a better modem or better connection than just Ethernet or via my Linksys E1200?
Not happy also that functionally worse off after calling AppleCare. I know she didn't cause the issue but her suggestion while standard tipped it over to not be connecting.
& typing all this on my iPhone is not fun although it did just now get back temporarily there for just a bit to its usual speed but now back to having to wait for it.Well I did the power down reset. But I think you missed the import of my question.
I'm talking about an older modem that may be marginal. Not positive about the 2 Ethernet cables I have used either.
So yes if the modem is working as it should I guess it should make a difference.
But something is weird when I can can next via Ethernet & then I just unplug the the rent from my Mac & plug it into the wan port on the AirPort Express & no connection.
To look at the modem & Airport across the room the lights make it look like they are fine.
I just done have Internet connection to my Mac. I did yesterday w the amber lights flashing.
& I was connecting w the Linksys but had frequent loss of connection.
So wondering if maybe Airport has slightly greater requirements that act as a tipping point so it connected without it but doesn't connect w it. But the green light supposedly shows its working fine.
Well I did put out a wanted request on FreeOC for a compatible Docsis 3.0 cable modem. Supposedly they work better & that might just make the difference.
Don't really want to buy a new modem when I'm about to move to a new area where requirements might be different. -
Does airport express have to be connected to wireless modem by cable
I'm trying to set up my wireless network with my wireless modem in my hall and AirPort Extreme in lounge. I thought that the airport would use the wireless signal from the modem and operate as if it was connected by Ethernet cable. Wrong?
You need a minimum of two Apple routers if you want to "extend" a wireless nework using wireless only.
The AirPort cannot "extend" a wireless network from a 3rd party router using wireless only.
If you have a 3rd party router and an AirPort Exteme, the AirPort will need to be connected directly to your main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection. -
Does airport express need to be connected to Internet to use purely for AirPlay ?
Does airport express need to be connected to Internet to use purely for AirPlay ? Or can I just attach to my stereo and have my Mac connect directly to it in the absence of a wireless network? Tks

you will have to configure the express to create a wireless network but you do not need a connection to the internet. -
My internet 3rd party access point in in the basement and the speakers I want to stream music to wirelessly are upstairs. Does Airport Express need to be connected to my 3rd party router via ethernet cable or will it stream music wirelessly?
Wirelessly
Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process -
I'm using iTunes 9 and I recently just bought AirPort Express. I have used it before in the past put the problem I have now is that I cannot select the Express network for my speakers. Does Airport Express only work with iTunes 10 or 11?

How do I use airport utillity with Time Capsule(or any airport extreme) over the internet without mobile me? iCloud has disabled this function. The mac's that I have not upgraded to icloud still see my routers over the internet with mobile me enabled. Are these routers obsolete now or will there be a firmware update to use icloud?
i want to do the same. i tried entering my @me.com account and does not work, but if I tried to go to icloud.com and using my @me.com works
why?
does the Airport express needs to be upgraded as well -

Does airport express work with PC
Does airport express work with a dell laptop?
Can one setup an airport express for the very first time using a dell laptop?Yes on both. FWIW, I currently have a Dell laptop that has no issues connecting to my AirPort network. I also have AirPort Utility for Windows installed on this laptop when I need to administer the base station. In my case the laptop is running Windows 7.

Does Airport Express work with a Windows Computer?
Does Airport Express work with a Windows Computer?
I'm trying to setup an older Airport Express to play iTunes
with a Windows Computer. I just want it to join my network,
since I'm already connected to another router.
Thanks,
PaulIs there a Windows version of the Airport Utility (I think that's what it's called)...
Yes. That is only needed to configure the AirPort Express (AX).
...or do I have to go through Windows setup software?
You may have to do that to get Windows to join the wireless network. -
Does Airport Express need to be configured to allow AirPlay to work between an iPhone 4s and an iPad2?
Also, attempting to use Airplay with iOS7 shuts off sound to the speakers while allowing sound thru the ear buds! The fix was to restart by depressing the lock switch (opposite the sound out port).Does Airport Express need to be configured to allow AirPlay to work between an iPhone 4s and an iPad2?
You need a minimum of three things for AirPlay:
An iTunes host. This can be a Mac, PC, or iOS device.
A wired or wireless network.
An AirPlay Speaker. This can be an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or a AirPlay-Ready device.
Is your goal to stream between two iOS devices? -
Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers?
I got an additional question bout this topic:
is it possible to use both at the same time? in my case cable-connected speakers in the living-room and an Airplay-speaker in the bathroom and/or kitchen?
so I select the Airport Express as Airplay-Output on my iPad and from there it's shared via cable AND wireless? this would solve the problem of being able to only select ONE Airplay-Output on my iPad at the same time... -
Anyone has an idea how to connect and configure my Airport express to an internet range extender which is plugged into mains?
Message was edited by: m. eminYou can connect it but with ethernet cable. You can not connect it by wifi to extend the range a second time.
BTW AE is rather sensitive to connect by wifi to non-apple wifi routers.
