Does Airport Express modifies the IP ID field in IP packets for packets transiting through it ?

I am seeing packets traversing airport express getting random IP ID values in the IP paclkets. Is this normal and by design? Why would the airport express change the field.
Thanks

Have you tried assigning a static LAN IP address and DNS servers to the OS 10.4 computer?

  • I just purchased Apple TV AND AIRPORT EXPRESS. I am questioning if  I need it when I already have a Netgear Powerline AV 200 Adapter Kit XAVB2001. Does the Airport Express do the same thing?

    I just purchased Apple TV AND AIRPORT EXPRESS. I am questioning if  I need it when I already have a Netgear Powerline AV 200 Adapter Kit XAVB2001. Does the Airport Express do the same thing?

    Thank you so much.  Any specifics I should know about prior to connecting? The goal is to watch  Netflix from my iPad or iPhone 5 on my tv (located in different room from where Comcast internet modem is hard wired to main computer in house).  Movies would depend on wireless transmission to a smart tv not connected to modem.

    Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process

  • 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

    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...

  • 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?

  • HT3291 Does this work when listening to radio direct on apple TV? I would like to able to play the radio on apple TV & airport express at the same time.

    Does this work when listening to radio direct on apple TV? I would like to able to play the radio on apple TV & airport express at the same time.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    No, this doesn't work directly from the Apple TV. However if you play the radio station from your computer you can send it via airplay to both devices, thereby achieving what you require.

  • HT4259 Does Airport Express extended network inherits wifi time restrictions?

    Hello:
    I have created a network with my Airport Extreme and I've set up some wifi access time restrictions based on mac addresses. Now I want to extend this network adding an Airport Express at the living room. Everything went smooth but I'd like to know if I need to set up the restrictions at the Express or does it inherit them from the Extreme.
    Thanks!

    Inherits from the Extreme as they are determined by the connected devices to the Wi-Fi.

  • HT204371 Does Airport Express need to be configured to allow AirPlay to work between an iPhone 4s and an iPad2?

    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 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.

  • Will there be a new airport express like the new airport base station?

    Will the airport express be upgradable to the "N" standard? (I doubt it.)
    If you want to use your airport express with the new Base stations wouldn't it screw up the "Pre-N" mode? (I don't doubt it)
    Is apple saying that one wouldn't need an airport express to extend the reach of the new base station because the new "Pre-N" modes have so much more range? (I think so).
    Does this mean that apple will be making a new version of the Airport express with A,B, G and "Pre-N" ? How cool would that be? I want one of those!!
    IMHO the airport express is the coolest Network device available for use with either Macs or WINdoz machines. It is just plain cool. It seems to me that the new Base station has little or no place in it's heart for it's older little brother.

  • Airport Express extending the range of my network HELP!

    Greetings!
    I know there are similar posts on this topic, but I can't seem to find a solution so I'll just ask again!
    Equipment: AirPort Extreme and two Airport Expresses (all are N)
    We live in a long house and the AirPort Extreme sits on one end with the cable modem and I'd like to place two AirPort Expresses in the middle and other end of the house so we can get wireless.
    I've tried WDS and extended and I can't get them to configure! What can I do? I'm out of ideas and time spend trying to set up an extender!!
    Help!!

    Ok, this can be done with a static WDS.
    Here is the basic steps to do so:
    Static WDS Setup
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, temporarily connect both 802.11n AirPort Express Base Stations (AXn) to any available LAN port on the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). When setup is complete, you can then relocate them to the desired locations. Be sure to jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)
    Main Base Station Setup - AEBSn
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the AEBSn.
    o Open AirPort Utility.
    o Select the AEBSn, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu. (Note: You may have to hold down the Option key before clicking the menu for this option to appear on the 802.11n models.)
    o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox.
    o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of AXn#1.
    o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
    Remote Base Station Setup - AXn#2
    o Open AirPort Utility.
    o Select AXn#2, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
    o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.
    Relay Base Station Setup - AXn#1
    o Open AirPort Utility.
    o Select AXn#1, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and choose “WDS relay” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the Main AirPort ID field.
    o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the remote base station this relay base station will connect to.
    o Click Update to transfer the new WDS settings to the relay and remote base stations.
    (ref: Pages 42-46 of "Designing AirPort Networks.)

  • Does airport express support guest network

    i have a client with an airport extreme (802.11n/4th gen) and an airport express (802.11n/1st gen). the express is located in an outbuilding, connected to the extreme via powerline adaptors, and configured as wds (that is,  the express broadcasts the ssid of the extreme and just provides a wireless connection since the extreme's signal doesn't reach that far). it works well in terms of having a seamless connection as devices move back and forth between the two buildings.  
    as this is a business, they have asked to have the guest network functionality on the airport extreme enabled so that visitors can have internet access, but no access to the office network. the airport express in the outbuilding needs to support both networks (office and guest). as i don't have a lot of experience with apple networking products, i thought it better to ask before i start playing with the configuration. 
    can the express provide connections to both networks in wds mode? if not, is there some way to configure the airports so that both networks are available thru the express and there is limited necessity for user response when moving between the two buildings (that is, if the express has to have its own ssid/dhcp/??? ?
    any and all suggestions welcome.

    The 1st Gen AirPort Express does not have Guest Network capability, so it cannot be used for the purpose desired by your client.
    A 2nd Gen AirPort Express, which does have Guest Network capability could be used to extend the Guest Network that is provided by the AirPort Extreme. This assumes that the AirPorts are running up to date firmware and you are using AirPort Utility 6.x to configure the devices.

  • I want to upgrade my old airport express to the new express. Can I just switch out the old for the new or must I delete the old network first and start from scratch with the new express?

    I want to upgrade my old airport express to the new express. Can I just switch out the old for the new or must I delete the old network first and start from scratch with the new express?

    It is not necessary to delete your old wireless networks first, but doing so may eliminate confusion. If you wish to do that, open System Preferences > Network, and select Wi-Fi from the left column. Click the Advanced... button, then select your old wireless networks and delete them with the "–" (minus) button. Make sure the "Remember networks this computer has joined" remains checked.
    OK then Apply.
    This prevents your Mac from searching for your previous network which will no longer exist.
    A new Express creates an open wireless network that you must select before you can configure it. It appears in your Wi-Fi menu like this:
    Select it. AirPort Utility will load and walk you through its configuration.
    Edit: If you are really using OS X 10.5.1 as shown in your profile, the above screenshot is not applicable. Instead, select the network called "Apple network nnnnnn" and then launch AirPort Utility.

  • HT1515 Does airport express have auto on/off schedule feature? Or any other ways to turn it on/off automatically.

    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.
