Extension Wifi airport express et Bbox 2?

Bonjour, j'ai fait l'acquisition d'un "airport express" dans le but d'augmenter la portée de mon réseau wifi existant sur ma b-box 2 (Belgacom). Mais voilà le problème est le suivant, il m'est impossible
d'étendre le réseau, j'arrive à connecter le airport express au réseau mais lorsque je choisis dans les préférences de celui-ci d'augmenter la poortée du réseau wifi via le sort airport de mon mac, au moment de la mis à jour du airport express il ne parvient pas à enregistrer les modifications me disant que c'est impossible.
Devrais-je changer une option au sein de ma b-box 2 afin qu'il autorise la portée de son wifi?
Merci d'avance pour vos réponses.

Frankly, there were more problems with firmware 7.4.2....that's why 7.5.2 was added.
When you update to 7.5.2......are you then powering down the entire network, waiting a moment, starting the modem first, then each device one at a time?
You would want to perform a power cycle like this whenever you update any device on a network.
No guarantees, but worth a try.
If you still must use 7.4.2 and you want to get rid of the blinking amber light and messages, post back for instructions.

Wifi, AirPort Express and the iPhone...

I have an Intel iMac running 10.5.6 connected to the web via Ethernet. I also have an iPhone and an AirPort Express. What I want to do is use the AirPort to stream music to a stereo and get online on the iPhone via the iMac.
I can do all these things but not at the same time, If I share my Internet connection via WiFi the AirPort disappears, the AirPort want to be my Internet connection, which it isn't, so throws up errors. The AirPort is only happy if it creates the Network, doesn't seem to like joining another.
The books tell you how to do each bit but not how they work together, help please anyone...

I'm not quite sure I understand your setup here, but I think your solution is to just put the AirPort Express into bridge mode. This then creates a seamless link between those clients that are wired and those that are wireless.
This model does require that you have some kind of switch in your network (either built-into your router or standalone). This will allow the wired iMac and the wired ethernet port on the AirPort express to both talk to the router, and would allow wireless clients (such as the iPhone) to talk to the wired devices, too.
You can use AirPort Admin to set the base station into bridge mode (under Internet -> Connection Sharing, choose 'Off (Bridge mode)' instead of either 'Share a public IP' or 'Distribute a range of IPs'.)

Airport express Extend WIFI, Airport express Extend WIFI

I use airport express, but Extend wifi mode is not work?

What is the make and model number of your "main" router?
Are you trying to "extend" by connecting the AirPort Express to your main router using a wired Ethernet connection?
or
Are you trying to "extend" by having the AirPort Express connect wirelessly to your main router?

IPad 16gb wifi +airport express. No utilities setup

Hey guys,
Here's my problem. I'm in sao Paulo staying in a room that only has Internet via Ethernet cable.
I currently have an Ipad 16gb and an airpot express. Problem is both of these are new and have never been setup or linked together. When I plug in the airport it blinks amber and I can get Internet service. I don't have a computer to run the disk... Am I totally screwed?
Also I see a
"free public" Internet network when I check my iPads wifi connections. I can connect to it with a strong signal but I can't go online... I get an error saying couldn't connect to the Internet.
I'm totally new to all of this so any help would be totally welcome.
Thanks for the help!
Jorge

No way I know of.
I don't bother if I can't determine who supports the network.
You see a lot of these 'Free Public Wi-Fi' or 'Free Public Network' hotspots in airports. Many of them are hosted on a laptop computer by someone in the concourse looking to steal personal info.
It's not worth it, IMO.

How do I add my AirPrint printer to my WiFi (airport express) with iPad2?

Hi!
So, my questions relates to how do I connect my printer (a Samsung Express M2022W) to my existing network? All the instructions that I can find relates to how I print from my iPad2 but that is now my problem. I do not have a computer, only an iPad2 so. I seem unable to figure out how I get my printer to connect to my network/WiFi.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerly
Marli

You will need to consult the manual for the device - I believe the link below is correct and should help.

Mavericks, WiFi, Airport, iTunes

Since I have noticed outages under Snow Leopard, WiFi, Airport Express using iTunes for years and years. I always thought this is a hardware only problem. Not at all as I have noticed. Under Mavericks I haven't noticed this phenomena using iTunes and my "old dropped technology" Airport Express.
So, now we have achieved a state in terms of software and hardware where everything seems to work fine.
However, what Apple is now doing with their new Airport utility. I am no longer able to edit the configuration of my Airport Express device.
This is just as nonsense as "Berliner Beamten Politik".

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Use airport express as a wireless bridge?

Hi,
I am wondering if an airport express can be used as a wireless bridge to connect my xbox on my lan?
Lan description:
dsl modem --> wifi linksys router --> office pc
wifi -- airport express as a client --> audio system
Right now, I use it solely for itune streaming, but I would like to connect my xbox to the ethernet port of the airport express give internet access, possible?

Thank you for replying, I was finding all sorts of confusing information, some said it would work, others said it wouldn't, and I was hoping someone with a little experience would know firsthand
I'm hoping I can take it to work where we have an iMac with Snow Leopard and pre-configure it there to do what I want at home, but if not I'll find a way to make it work, the link might come in handy for me.
I'll report back anything I encounter with a link to my blog, hopefully that will help others out as well.

Can I expand an expanded network with airport express and extreme?

Hi, I would like to know, what happen if I have 1 Airport Extreme and 2 Airport Express.
First, my airport extreme is creating my wifi network in my house, and i have an airport express, expanding my wifi signal.
What happen if I want to add another airport express, like expanding the expanded network, something like this:
Internet
      |
     |
     |(Ethernet Cable)
     |
     |
Airport Extreme
     |
     |
     |(Wifi)
     |
     |
Airport Express 1
     |
     |
     |(Wifi)
     |
     |
Airport Express 2
So, can I expand my signal, just adding more airport express?

So, can I expand my signal, just adding more airport express?
No, since Apple will only allow you to "extend" the signal one time.
It is possible to have multiple extenders, but each extender must connect directly to the "main" base station....not to another device that is already extending the network.
Apple's extend setup works like the hub and spokes of a wheel. Your main base station is the "hub". Each extender resides at the end of a separate "spoke", and as such it communicates directly to the "hub"......not to another extender at the end of another spoke.

How can I set up a guest WiFi network using Time Capsule and Airport Express extension?

How can I set up a guest WiFi network using Time Capsule and Airport Express extension?

Sorry, but it is not possible to "extend" the Guest Network using either wireless or an Ethernet connection.

HT1515 Can I use two Airport Express, one being the connection to my Internet Provider and the second one, being an extension to my wifi?

I would like to know if with them I could use one Airport Express as the connection point to my ISP and the second one, just to extend the wifi range. Anyone knows about this ?

Yes you can.
But, remember that the AirPort Express is a router only. It does not have a modem on board, so you will need a modem to connect to your ISP.
Then, connect one Express to the modem and configure it to "create" a wireless network".
Configure the second Express to "extend" a wireless network.

New Sky Hub Router and Airport Express wifi extension.

I have the new Sky router (Hub) and I am trying to extend the wifi signal in my house but it won't.
I have the 802.11n 1st Gen Airport Express which connects to the wifi network ok but keeps erroring when I try to Extend a wireless network.
Please help as its driving me mad.
Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, you always need two Apple AirPort devices to be able to "extend" a wireless network using wireless only.
A single AirPort router cannot "extend" the wireless network of a 3rd party router using wireless only.
If you only have one Apple router, it is usually possible to establish a wired Ethernet connection between the AirPort router and configure it to provide more wireless coverage that way. The downside of course, is that the connection must remain wired between your main router and the AirPort router.
If you cannot run the Ethernet cable, it might be possible to use a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send a signal over the existing powerlines in your home. The theory here is that you already have the wiring in place and just need the adapters.
In practice, the Ethernet powerline adapters are not always predictable in their performance in every installation.

Airport Extreme with Airport Express for extending WiFi Network...

I have had an iMac for quite a few years now and never needed WiFi until this week. I purchased a Macbook Air, an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express over the last 24 hrs. I opened the Airport Extreme first and followed the somewhat easy installation procedures. My iMac is wired via Ethernet cable to my Airport Extreme. The Airport Extreme is connected to a Motorola Cable Modem using Time-Warner. I also happen to have a Verizon Network Extender connected via Ethernet cable to the Airport Extreme. The spot where I most frequently would be using the Macbook Air, is about as far away from my iMac and Airport Extreme Base Network Router as you could be. The WiFi works, shows only one bar on the Airport icon. Consequently I want to plug my Airport Express in near this location to give me a better WiFi signal (and thus perhaps faster performance). I have read both the Airport Express Manual and the Airport Extreme Manual but neither talks all that much about the network extension function with the exception of connecting a stereo to an existing WiFi network. I am wondering what the specific steps are to add the Airport Express as a Network Extender. I also wonder if my Macbook Air will be able to access my iMac as the iMac is connected via Ethernet to the Airport Extreme vs. using the Airport Network. Any help will be most appreciated.

I am trying to do the exact same thing and am having some difficulties.
It was easier for "WiseJD" because he was using two Apple base stations, instead of your AT&T router.
I select Manual Setup, it just sits there thinking - I can't get into the actual set up.
So you see the Express in AirPort Utility, but when you select it and select "Manual Setup", nothing happens?
When setting up the Express to extend my existing wireless network (AT&T 2WIRE modem and Airport Extreme), do I initially connect the Express, via Ethernet cable, to the modem or the Extreme?
I'll guess that the AT&T device is connected to your broadband connection. Is the 2WIRE device either without Wi-Fi support or is that turned off? How is the Extreme configured, in particular in the AirPort/Wireless panel "Wireless Mode" setting and in the Internet/Internet Connection panel, "Connection Sharing" setting?
If anyone could provide a step by step process on exactly how to set up the Express to extend my existing network, I would be grateful.
I have very little experience with mixed-vendor home networking, but someone should be able to help.

Airport Express to extend wifi

I wonder if some kind person can please help as I am tearing my hair out trying to set up an extension to our wifi.
We live in a barn and the BT Home Hub 4 is unmovable at one end of the barn, therefore the wifi is sketchy at the other, where the office is.
I have BT infinity connected by their white modem/router and the BTHH4. From there I have a 500ps TP Homeplug connected to the BTHH4 and the other in the office connected to one Mac. This works ok but as we have two Macs and a wifi printer so I also have a Huawei repeater which gives wifi to those.
The repeater acts ok but is not stable and frequently the printer and Macs lose connectivity so I wanted to boost this by replacing the repeater with an AirPort Express.
Try as I might, when I connect it to the Mac it gives an error message on setup (Lion).
I have managed to get a green light on the AE when setting up via Iphone but as soon as I do that, it disappears from the Iphone and I lose all my internet. It must be something I am doing wrong in the setup/configuration and would really appreciate some step by step help.
Thanks.

The repeater acts ok but is not stable and frequently the printer and Macs lose connectivity so I wanted to boost this by replacing the repeater with an AirPort Express.
You are not doing anything wrong. The AirPort Express is not compatible with products from other manufacturers for the purpose that you are trying to achieve.
The Express will only "exend" or "repeat" a signal from another Apple wireless router.

Problem with airport express extending wifi from extreme

My setup is an airport extreme wired to the internet with two iMacs connected by wire and an airport express to extend wifi from the extreme to the further parts of my house. When originally installed about a year ago this arrangement worked perfectly, but I noticed a few weeks ago that neither my iphone, ipad, nor my MBP 13" is connecting to the aitport express anymore and the network extension is not working as intended.
Last night I investigated the isue and found that the express is connected wirelessly to my extreme because when I wired my MBP to the express and turned off the wireless connection it could still reach the internet. But, even with the express sitting plugged in next to my iPhone I could not get it to connect to the express - it always uses the extreme and while I'm in range there is no problem. The problem is that my house is old and the wals tend to cause problems with reception and I can't get wifi in the garden and some parts of the house.
I have the express and the extreme configured to allow access only by the client macs that I have provided and it looks like the two devices share this information when they are in extend mode (but not sure about that). When I set up the system I added the aitports mac addresses to the approved list in the access control screen, which seemed to be necessary then though I removed them (the airport mac addresses) fromt he list last night to see what effect this had and biefly the airport did connect to my MBP. But after returning it to its location where it usually is I have not been able to reconnect to it.
In brief; I have an airport express extending an airport extreme wifi, it used to work, but now all wifi clients will only connect to the master. I have a suspicion that a recent airport update has caused this (both airports are up-to-date) but can't be sure. I have the express correctly configured to extend the wifi of the extreme as it was originally working.
One thing I have noticed - I had the express set to use a fixed IP by setting 'static' in the internet screen - this is not the current setting (it's reverted to DHCP) and I cannot force it to update to and remain set to static.
Does anyone know how I can restore the correct functioning of the express as an extension of the wifi network?
Thanks
Damon

Perform the Factory Default Reset one more time. Hold the reset button until the amber light has been blinking rapidly for 8-10 seconds before you release the reset button
Run the setup wizard, and wait for screen similar to this to appear, then click on Other Options:
Select the Add to an existing network option, then click Next and follow the prompts.
If you are still having difficulty, try running the setup utility on an iPhone or iPad, since Yosemite has a number of bugs in the setup process.

Time Capsule to Airport Express extension

I have recently set up a Time Capsule and Airport Express, the latter as an extension, without trouble. Needed further extension and purchased another AE. Although I get a green light on the second AE there is no extension of the WiFi to the area where the second AE is placed. I have re-set up all the components multiple times without success. Using Airport Utility 5.5.1 on a 27" late 2009 IMac, system 10.6.4. In advance thank you for any help.

Ok, here is the basic steps to configure your base stations into a static WDS:
(Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, temporarily connect the remote & relay base stations to the TC by Ethernet during the set up phase, and then, relocate them to the desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs (wireless MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)
Main Base Station Setup - TC
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
o Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
o Select the main base station, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base
Station menu.
o Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then, choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu. Note: You will need to hold down the Option key in order to get this option on the AEBSn, 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn), or Time Capsule (TC).
o Click WDS and then, choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the base station you want to connect to this base station.
o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
Remote Base Station Setup - AX#2
o Open AirPort Utility; select the remote base station, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Enter the base station password, if necessary.
o Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, 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 - AX#1
o Open AirPort Utility; select the relay base station, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, 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.
