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.

What does Airport Express Support

I have been researching the airport express and i have heard that people have connected their xbox to it and of course the printer and stereo, but I would also like to plug in a hard drive with a powered usb hub. Does anyone have a setup like this or any advise?

The +*Airport Express*+ supports a printer, but not a disk: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB321LL/A/AirPort-Express-AirTunes?fnode=MTY1N DA0Mg&mco=MTA4NTc4MTE
You may want the +*Airport Extreme,+* which supports a printer and/or external HDs (but not Time Machine backups): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC340LL/A/AirPort-Extreme?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco =MTMzNzU2NDk

Does Airport Express support MAC spoofing?

I'm using Comcast, Seattle which requires that I use a particular MAC address to connect to their network. In order to do this, I will need to get a router that supports MAC spoofing (i.e. setting AE to pretend to have another MAC address). Is this possible?

Sorry, but no. None of Apple's Base Stations, nor the Airport Express, support MAC address cloning on the WAN port.
If Comcast's system doesn't automatically re-register a new connection by power cycling the modem (as many systems do), certainly it should be possible for Comcast to manually register the MAC address of a new device cabled to their modem?

Does Airport Express support multiple ethernet connections via a switch?

If I use the following configuration, with the Airport Express extending my network, will it handle multiple devices connected via a switch?
Modem---Airport Extreme- - -802.11n- - -Airport Express---Switch---multiple devices (eg. network printer and iMac).
Or do I need to use a second Airport Extreme instead?

It works for me—even when the AirPort Express device is configured to extend the wireless network created by the AirPort Extreme router.

Does the newest, the fifth generation AirPort Extreme support Guest Network?

I cannot get an option to set up Guest Network to display.

I'm guessing that you are referring to AirPort Utiity 6.0 which came with the latest Lion Update. You can download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion , which has much more functionality. You can keep both 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac (You cannot delete 6.0).
I suppose that you could try to configure the AirPort as a second router on your network, but then you will have two devices both trying to hand out IP addresses. That usually causes conflicts on a network.
if AirPort Utility allows you to do this, you will also have what is known as a Double NAT on the network, which will slow down communications and possibly not allow devices on the network to communicate correctly. I may or may not work.
I don't recommend this, but if you want to try it with AirPort Utility 5.6.....here is how:
Open AirPort Utiility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet tab, then click the Internet Connection tab
Change the settting from the correct "Off (Bridge Mode)" to the incorrect "Share a public IP address"

Does AirPort Express support fax and scanning?

From the AirPort information on the Apple website there does not appear to be any reference to support for multifunction wi-fi printers and specifically fax and scanning across a network. I see one image of the AirPort Express device that appears to have a phone line connected and that's all.

The USB port on the AirPort routers will only support a compatible printer.
So, if you have a compatible All-in-One device connected to the USB port on any of the AirPort routers, only the print function will work.
If you need to fax, copy, scan, perform maintenance, etc., you will need to connect the AIO device directly to your computer.

Does Airport Express Support WPA2?

Hi guys! I'm thinking of getting an Airport Express, but I'm wondering, does it support WPA2?

Yes, it supports WPA2.
We've added the Express to an existing Extreme base. Super easy and fast setup.
We use the Express to stream audio only.
To exchange data between computers (and hook up to the internet) we use the Extreme base. So far I cannot see any noticable degration in speed on the Extreme base due to WDS overhead.

Airport express and guest network

My operatign system is OS X 10.9.1
Airport Express Time capsule 1 TB
I have had my airport express time capsule for 2 years (1 TB)and it worked pretty near flawlessly since then. It started with the time capsule being too full and that got me messsing with it.
I could not fugure out how to delete files and it was not writing over old ones. I have seen the same problem on here already. (In the end I bought an external drive and now that seems to have solved it, even though I deleted a bunch of old files and my compute is now hovering around 830 MB it still won't back up on the time capsule. I am not too worried about this though. If you can help me on this part that is great. )
Then I tried to reset my AE device. WIth that I had to reset my guest network. this is where the problems began.
Previously my AE had a steady green light and hosted two wifi names (mine and for guests).
Now if I click not bridged (?) then I can not get Internet access on the guest network. If I click DHC and Nat it constantly blinks amber but the guest network is not there (even though I set it up). I have gone back and forth with this and it is consistently behaving like I described above.
I have done a reset. I have done a reset and unplugged the machine (though I admit I did not wait two minutes, closer to 45 seconds)
I want to go back to the steady green light and the two wifis established.
Can you please help me?

Also one more thing to add. My Server name has disappeared too. I get an error message that says
There was a problem connecting to the server "name"
The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, then try again.
Seems I did a great job messing with this today.
Merry Christmas!

Most printers are supported by the AirPort Express. There is no definitive list.

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?

HT4145 Does the new Airport Extreme allow "guest network" setup across all my Airports on my network? I have 1 Airport as a router and 6 others as WAP's (bridged)

Does the new Airport Extreme allow "guest network" setup across all my Airports on my network? I have 1 Airport as a router and 6 others as WAP's (bridged)

I assume that all of your WAPs are hard wired on the network.
If.....all of your WAPs are simultaneous dual band Apple AirPort devices like an AirPort Extreme or new AirPort Express.....and.....you have firmware version 7.6.3 (now 7.6.4) installed on all the AirPorts.....and.....you use AirPort Utility 6.3.1 to configure the devices......in theory.....it should work.
I don't have 6 WAPs, but I do have 3 and the network works perfectly allowing extension of both the "main" and "guest" network.

Does 2012 airport express support MIMO?

Welcome,
Probably not, but Apple have stated recently that MIMO is build in to the new WiFi kit, see:

You may need to upgrade to a new Airport.

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?
