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.

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

  • 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.

  • Can Airport Express share an Internet connection via Thunderbolt Ethernet

    An increasing number of hotels are now charging for every device that you use to connect to the Internet. I am travelling to India next week for work and the hotel I am staying at has this policy. I have not discovered a way of sharing a Wifi account between several devices. I travel with an iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air.
    What if I connect my MacBook Air via wireless. Can I share my Internet connection (Internet Sharing in Sharing) by connecting an Airport Express to the ethernet port (thuderbolt ethernet) and create a wireless network that way? If possible, what configuration would I need on the AEX, wold it be bridge mode?

    This is why I travel with 2 AirPort Express devices.
    For hotels with wireless only....one Express is configured to "join" the hotel wireless network and it provides an Ethernet signal to the second Express which is configured to "create" a wireless network for multiple devices.
    The hotel network only "sees" one device....the AirPort Express that is joining....so I'm only charged for one device, but can connect multiple devices if I want.
    If the hotel has an Ethernet jack, you only need one Express..the one configured to 'create" a wireless network. Again, the hotel only "sees" one device....because I do not use Bridge Mode.....but I can connect as many wireless devices as I want.
    Both methods work about 95% of the time at "unknown" hotels. Generally, I stay at "known" hotels where I know that things will work.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Airport Express acts as ethernet connection?

    I have an older Airport Express (~3 years) that I've been using to stream iTunes to my stereo. That was working great until iTunes version 8 and the 6.3 Airport update, but that's a different post.
    My question is this: Is the ethernet port on the airport express only used to update software from your computer?
    What I want to do is connect my new Sony BluRay player to it so it can access BD-Live (I think that's what it's called) and the Internet.
    The BluRay player doesn't recognize it.
    Thoughts?

    In order to enable the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet port to provide Internet access, the AX will need to be reconfigured as remote base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
    (ref: Using the AirPort Admin Utility to create a WDS network with multiple base stations)

  • Airport Express Continuously Drop Ethernet Connection

    Hi:
    I have an Airport Express (802.11n) with the latest update software available (7.4.2) and I running my iMac with Snow Leopard (also with the latest software actualization). Since a few weeks ago the device has been dropping the ethernet connection every now and then without any error or malfunction of the software.
    I already try almost everything including reset the device and configure a new WiFi net. In some reviews and forums that I have been investigating says that maybe is a firmware (?) problem.
    If anybody has the same problem and found the way to solve it I really appreciate the answer to this issue.
    Thanks.

    I had this happen with a new box. One glorious moment it worked first time and then it started doing what you described but hard on! See this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2164508 . Finally solved by getting a replacement from the store!

  • Does Airport Express support 24 Bit - 192 KHZ digital out ?

    Hello.
    I have Airport Express connected to a high end external audiophile DAC and would like to know if it supports 24 bit and higher clock frequencies like 96 KHz or 192 KHz.
    Thanks for your thoughts.

  • 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 Constantly Wants Ethernet connection

    I'm just trying to set up my express to hook up to my usb printer. It is constantly flashing amber... I have downloaded new firm ware, but it still is flashing and constantly asking me to hook it up to ethernet, which I don't want to hook it up to the internet. I just want to plug it into the wall, with a usb printer and work... It's driving me crazy!

    Don't let it drive your crazy - just ignore it, becuase that is all you can do.
    If your Airport Express is not connected to another network, either by cable or wirelessly, then it won't be able to obtain an IP address - and that is all the flashing amber status light is trying to tell you. In the mode you are using your Airport Express, a flashing amber status light is always going to be normal and expected.

  • 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.
