Does AirPort Extreme work with AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit

Does AirPort Extreme Base Station work with the AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit? I want to wirelessly play my music from my computer on my stereo.

Does AirPort Extreme Base Station work with the AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit?
If you are asking if the AEBS can connect to your Stereo using the cables in the AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit, the answer is No. Only the Airport Express is designed for this purpose.
However, the AEBS is used as the central base station for any number of remote Airport Express units which can use the Airport Express Connection Kit to connect to your stereo.

Does the new Airport Extreme work with Airport Express??

I just installed the new airport extreme and I can't get my airport expresses to function as a part of the network. Does anyone know how to get past this? Do the expresses work with the new extreme?

I assume this issue is true for both Express base stations ... that is, that their status lights go to solid amber when removed from the Extreme base station. A solid amber would indicate that the base station has failed to reinitialize with its "new" configuration.
The only recommendation I have at this point, is to start over with just a single Express. Perform a "factory default" reset on both the Extreme and the Express. Leave them both powered-off after they complete their respective resets.
Power-up the Extreme. Leave it in its default configuration which is to broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Connect the Express to one of the available LAN ports on the Extreme, and then, plug the Express into power.
Your Mac should shortly "see" the new base station in the AirPort drop-down menu from the OS X menu bar. Select this new station and the AirPort Utility should start up. Use the utility's automated steps to configure the Express to extend the Extreme. Allow the Express to restart.
Now remove the Express from power, and then, disconnect it from the Extreme. Place the Express in another location in the same room and plug it back into power. Does it eventually give you a green status light?

The AirPort Extreme fully implements the IEEE 802.11 wireless protocols for a through n and will work with any computer that uses a compliant version of any of those protocols. So, yes it will work with the Lenovo as long as the Lenovo is not doing something strange with wireless.

How do I make an Airport Extreme work with a Linksys WRT160N

I have a Linksys WRT160N V3 Router that I have connected to my cable modem. I have an iMac in another room along with a PC based laptop. Range is fine to get them to connect wirelessly. However what I would like to do is to also connect my Blu-Ray device to the internet. However it isn't wireless. I was told I could use an Airport Extreme to bridge to my WRT160N. What I want to do is hardwire connect my Blu-Ray player and perhaps my iMac to the Airport Extreme using my WRT160n's access to the cable modem. Basically I'm trying to make to wirelss routers talk to each other. I can't seem to make the Airport Extreme work. Any assistance would be great.
Thanks,
Tim

Welcome to the discussions, Gonzotoo!
+I was told I could use an Airport Extreme to bridge to my WRT160N+
Unfortunately, this is not correct. The AirPort Extreme does not have the capability that you need. If you could connect the Linksys and Extreme together using an ethernet cable, it would function as you wish. Or, if it's not possible to connect them using an ethernet cable, you might take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the AC wiring in your home.

Extend AirPort Extreme Network with AirPort Express- Setup assistance

I have an AirPort Extreme working nicely and connected directly to my Comcast cable modem. I would like to extend my network for greater coverage upstairs and to run an upstairs printer on the network. I cannot get the Express connected as an extension to my existing wireless network. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Bob. Do you mind if I listen in on this thread? I am trying to extend a network the same way JVT1057 is, yet my Mac mini in the Airport application cannot find the Express device. The Extreme device is up and working well, and is "seen" by the mini in the utility, but not the Express device. I need a stronger signal in a home office upstairs and would like to connect a networked printer here in the office via the Express.
What am I doing wrong? I, too, have specifiied on the Extreme menus that I want the network to be extended.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Will airport extreme work with Mac OS v10.6?

I have an Imac from 2009, Using OS X v 10.6.8 and cannot get an airport extreme to match. I kept getting a msg to upgrade airport utility hardware 6.2.2, but then an unable to do so. Are the 2 incompartible? I thought the advantage of apple products was connectivity. Any thoughts are appreciated!! Paul

The most recent AirPort Extreme works without any problem with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is that it requires AirPort Utility 6.3 to set it up, and this version is only available for OS X Lion and Mountain Lion.
If you don't want to upgrade Mac OS X and you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can use them to set up your AirPort Extreme. Open Settings > Wi-Fi, choose your AirPort station and follow the steps.
If you don't have any of those devices, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. Open the Mac App Store and purchase it. Make a backup of your data with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com When the download finishes, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install AirPort Utility 6.3, which you have to open and follow its steps.
The other option is to return your AirPort Extreme and get an older one

Will Airport Extreme work with MacBook and PCs in a secure, wireless way?

Currently have a Netgear router that we use for wireless internet access. It is not a secured router and it's time to get a better solution. Will the Airport Extreme work easily and well with an HP laptop, HP Envy printer and my MacBook?

The Airport Extreme is compatible with all computers, even PCs and tablets and phones other than Apple too. You can easily manage/administrate the Airport Extreme and its network with your iPads and iPhone.

Airport extrem working with expresses to create a powerful network, but how

I have one extreme base station and 3 expresses in a 3 story house with a basement. My network base is on the 3rd floor and I want the base station to link from that one to others to boost the signal. I thought I had it all set but am not getting good signal at all. If some one could give me steps to doing this and also give me tips on making the signal better. Thanks. Post here or email me at [email protected]
Oh and I have 8 total computers: 4 pcs, 1 Powerbook G4, 2 Imac Intels, 1 Macmini intel.
3 Pcs are hard wired the other wireless and all the Macs are wireless.
There is a dlink systeme set up that was implace before and used for wireless but with the new Macs im switching to Airports. Should I git rid of the Dlink wireless router?
Let me know if you need more info, thanks again.

You will need to replace the D-Link with the Airport Extreme.
Step 1
Configure the Airport Extreme so it is working as a single wireless router - do not touch the WDS tab in other words where it was before you started.
For ease use a new network name and security.
If necessary do a reset.
Wait ten minutes
Step 2
Factory reset the Airport Express.
Plug the Airport Express in.
On your Mac remain connected to the Airport Extreme wireless network.
Run the Airport Assistant say that you want to configure a new base station.
It should find the Airport Express and ask you some questions, confirm that you want to extend the network of the Extreme network, in other words extend an existing network.
Once it has configured both Airports.
Wait ten minutes.
Repeat Step 2 for each of the remaining Airport Express units.
You may want to reconfigure the middle Airport Express as a relay unit instead of a remote unit.
You are good to go.

Does BT Homehub work with Airport Express

I recently purchased a new Airport Express to allow me stream music wirelessly from my iMac to my existing hi-fi. I currently have a Huawei Echolife HG532 router from my ISP (TalkTalk). I have been trying to set up the AE as an extension to my existing wireless network. I can get it set up initially, but after about 20 to 30 mins of inactivity, the AE appears to drop off the network, even when it is situated just a few feet from the wireless router. I cannot get the AE to reconnect without doing a complete re-set and going through the set-up process again. I have even tried setting up the AE as a separate network, but I get exactly the same problem. I have tried changing the channels settings on my router, but this makes things even worse as I cannot connect at all to the AE. I have trawled through various forums and discovered that it may be a problem with my router. I am currently out of contract with TalkTalk, so am considering switching to BT. However, I have read on some forums that the BT Homehub router has similar problems. Can anyone out there confirm if their BT Homehub works with the new AE please? If not, can anyone confirm which wireless router will work.
I am also having similar drop off problems with a new Airplay Speaker, the Philips Fidelio AD7000W. I keep having to power down and re-start it for it to be "found" by i-tunes. I have read the instruction manual for the Fidelio and it makes reference to ensuring the Bonjour service is switched on in Safari. However, I cannot seem to find the Bonjour service anywhere on my iMac. How do I find this?
Also, when I try to stream music from my iphone 4 to either the Fidelio or the AE, the Airplay icon in the Music app does not always appear. I was really looking forward to streaming music from my i-tunes library to my hi-fi via AE and also to my new Fidelio speaker. However, all I have done is spend hours on the internet trying to fix these problems. Can anyone hel please!

The AirPort Express will work with the Homehub if you establish a permanent Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Homehub to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express.
The AirPort Express will not work if you are planning to connect the Express to the Homehub wirelessly to extend the network.

Does Atheros AR5007 work with Airport Express?

I am having trouble connecting to Apple's Airport Express. My laptop is a bit older and runs Atheros AR5007 wireless adapter. Is there anyway to update this or fix it?

I suspect it is probably a WEP issue.
Problems connecting an XP PC to a WEP enabled Airport Extreme Base Station
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/2002.html
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

You could avoid using the Linksys software and use XP's native support but you may need to turn on Wireless Zero Configuration as the Linksys software will have probably turned it off.

Does Front Row work with Airport Express?

I"m a bit confused by the new Front Row feature of the iMac G5. I'd be happy with EITHER my TV, with a signal from my Mac via Airport Express (with video output to the TV) to watch videos, control itunes etc.
Or, I'd perhaps consider having the iMac G5 in the living room, to watch TV, videos, DVD's, control iTunes.
However, it seems this solution doesn't do everything. You still need your iMac, and you need your TV. What's the point of integration if it doesn't integrate?
Having a TV and an iMac sitting side by side seems a bit pointless.

According to Business Week: "Airport Express can already be used to stream music from a Mac or a PC's iTunes playlist to home stereos. And Apple launched its current flagship Wi-Fi router, the Airport Extreme, months ahead of the official industry ratification of the 802.11g standard. It might do something similar with a new Airport lineup before the 802.11n standard is ratified."

Does the CP1025 work with Airport Extreme?

Hi, I am unable to get my CP1025 (not CP1025nw) connected to the Airport Extreme (AE) to be able to print through the network. The AE recognizes my other printer - HP Photosmart C3188 immediately and sets up automatically. So, I am assuming my network is ok. Initially, AE was able to recognize the CP1025, but failed at the last step in Bonjour.(error 1797 you do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer). I then upgraded the firmware on the CP1025 and now AE does not recognize the CP1025. Bonjour says "no bonjour printers are available". I have been trying this through my laptop (win7) and desktop (xp sp2), but it's not working. Installed and uninstalled bonjour and drivers several times. Also tried to replace the setup for c3188 with cp1025 through the Printer properties/ports window. Would it help if I used the older firmware? Where can I find it? How else can I fix this? Thanks ------------ CP 1025 firmware: 20120130 CP1025 driver: 3.0 (16 Mar 2012) Bonjour for windows v2.0.2 Airport extreme version: 7.6.1

It appears that you are using Bonjour on a Windows platform to get the printer connected wirelessly.
The best way to get the Laserjet cp1025 connected is to use WPS or a USB to wireless setup.
Instructions for both can be found by clicking on Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network.
To use USB to Wireless, you will need a Windows or Mac OS X (10.5, 10.6, or 10.7) connected to a wireless network.
Installing a USB to wireless setup printer can be very tricky and buggy using Bonjour installation.
The steps in the link are for the Laserjet cp1025 and should get you going with getting it to connect. The Laserjet is only designed to be connected to a network with USB to wireless or the router's WPS button (if it has one).
