Does the AirPort create a wireless? Or it just join one?

I just wanna know what the airport does. Does it create a wireless, or join one, I mean, if I'm travelling, I bring my AirPort to the hotel and plug in, is it going to create a wireless?

If you are traveling with the AirPort Express, the hotel or place that you are staying will need to have an Ethernet port so that you can connect the AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable.
Then the AirPort Express can be configured to "create" a wireless network and you will have your own private wireless network with Internet access in the room.
If the hotel does not provide an Ethernet port, then having an AirPort Express along will be of no real value.

    does the airport time capsule eliminate the need for my cisco linksys wireless router?

    I understand that your network now looks like this:
    Modem > Security Router > Cisco/Linksys router > Devices
    If you do not want to use the Cisco/Linksys router and use a Time Capsule instead, then your network would look like this:
    Modem > Security Router > Time Capsule > Devices

  • 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.

    I recently purchased a airport time capsule. My current router offer duel band. Does the Airport offer duel band

    The Time Capsule automatically  broadcasts a simultaneous dual band wireless signal. Wireless devices will connect to the band with the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the Time Capsule.

  • Does The Airport Express Work with Any Router?

    Hi Forum,
    i have an old Linksys router G Wifi speeds, does the Airport Express work with this?

    The AirPort Express or other Apple routers will not wirelessly extend the signal from your Linksys router, if that is what you are asking here.
    If yes, use another Linksys product to insure compatibility between devices.

  • Does the Airport Extreme support HP cp1025?  There are two versions of the printer the cp1025 and cp1025nw.  I have the cp1025, and can't set it up. Is there a list of AE/bonjour supported printers?

    Is there a list of AE/bonjour supported printers?

    Bonjour is a transport protocol. It also provides a means of advertising a printer on a network.
    Any list that shows printers that support Bonjour is generally an indication that the printer itself supports this protocol, meaning that when it is connected to the network, you can see it in your default Add Printer browser. In the case of the Airport, it also supports the Bonjour protocol and will advertise any printer that is connected to its USB port. The printer itself does not have to support Bonjour. The Airport performs this function. And like many lists, they are not kept up to date because each vendor releases several new models every quarter or half year.
    There are definitely printers that don't work when connected to the USB port of the Airport. And this is more that the printer driver does not support this type of connection, mainly due to the port not supporting bidirectional communications which some printer drivers require. The Canon UFR2 and CAPT drivers are a good example of this limitation. But this is only the Mac drivers. The Windows equivalent drivers work fine when the printer is connected to the USB port.
    So with you having an issue with the Windows drivers then I don't think it is a case of them not supporting Bonjour but more to do with some other component not functioning when the printer is shared by the Airport. The error message appears to have more to do with local user rights which is probably driver related. I've seen some printers that you cannot use the Windows Add Printer wizard to add them. Instead you have to use the vendors utility because of some proprietary protocol being used. Maybe this is one of those?
    Now that you seen how it should work based on when you used the C3188, if you still get that error message at point 6 of adding the C1025 then it would suggest a driver compatibility issue with the Airport - which is not necessarily a Bonjour compatibility issue. So unless there was another model of HP printer driver that you could use to this C1025 and that was also compatible with the USB port of the Airport Extreme, then I would suggest your best action is to replace the printer with a model that does work. Maybe even one that has builtin wireless so you don't have to use the USB port of the Airport.

  • Does the RE1000 create a second wifi network w seperate SSID?

    I just bought the Netgear and I don't like it because it creates a second wifi network with a second SSID. I just want to be on the same network and not have to associate all my devices with a second network.
    Does the RE1000 create a second SSID network?

    By default each wireless device has their own network name. You need to make sure that the RE1000 will have the same wireless settings as your Netgear router that way you will be able to extend the range of your network.

    does the airport express need to be on the same floor as the apple tv for best streaming?

    Yes. Distance can increase interference causing delays in streaming.

  • Does the Airport express work with apple TV?

    does the airport express base station work with apple tv and connected devices, like the same way it would over a wi-fi router?

    Yes. The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is a Wi-Fi router and supports the Apple TV for connectivity.

  • Airport Utility cannot find my Airport.  It is nearby, no interference, and worked for about 9 months.  The Airport still provides wireless internet for the household, though it won't recognize the printer -- plugged in or wireless.

    How can I get Airport Utility to find my Airport?  It is nearby, no interference, and worked for about 9 months.  The Airport still provides wireless internet for the household, though it won't recognize the printer -- plugged in or wireless.

    Are you using the latest version (5.5.2) of the AirPort Utility to access the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)? Your tagline has it that you are running OS X 10.4.6. You would need at least 10.5.7 to run the utility. I assume that you are running the latest utility on another device ... correct?
    When having difficulties accessing the AirPort thru the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
    o Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the AirPort wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
    o Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
    o Perform a "factory default" reset on the base station.

  • Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

    why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?  How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

    I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

  • Does the Airport support Airprint

    Does the Airport support Airprint?
    I have severa IOS Devices and wuld like to use an existing Printer (HP USB) from these devices.
    Would it be possible to access this Printer via Airprint if i Buy an Airport Extreme and connect the Printer to the USB Port?

    Sorry, but just connecting a non-AirPrint printer to the USB port of an AirPort base station will not make it AirPrint capable. Yes there are a number of Apps available to print from iOS devices.
