From iPad how do I use airport extreme to print to Epson R340

Can't print from my iPad through Airport Extreme to my Epson R340 printer. Have no problem printing from my macbook air.

Unfortunately, it appears that your Epson is not AirPrint compatible. See the Apple support document below for more details.

It's always possible that Epson may have updated the drivers recently to allow printing directly from the iPad, so you might want to check with Epson Support to see if that is the case.
A workaround that might work is to downloand and install an application like Printopia on your Mac. There's a free trial, so you will know in about 60 seconds whether this work for you or not.
The downside to the workaround is that your Mac must be running to allow the iPad to print using Printopia.

How do I use AirPort Extreme to be able print from my MacBook Pro AND a PC. If I connect printer into AirPort, I can only print on laptop. If printer is connected to PC hard drive, I can only print on desk top. How do I configure this to make both print?

If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC

How do I use Airport Extreme to limit internet time for my kids? His computer is hardwired to the modem.

How do I use Airport Extreme to limit internet time for my kids? His computer is hardwired to the modem.

You can set up daily time limits for each computer that connects using wireless, but it is not possible to do this when a computer is connecting directly using a wired Ethernet connection.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac and click Manual Setup
Click the Access Control tab below the icons
Select Timed Access
For more details on this, click the Help menu at the top of the screen and enter the following phrase into the search box:
Controlling access to your wireless network
A more sophisticated approach would be to use a service provided by OpenDNS. From your computer, this would allow you to monitor web sites visited, and block any unsuitable sites. More info is here:

How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal?

How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal? What equipment & devices do I need to travel with to make this possible?

You may mean the AirPort Express.....not AirPort Extreme.....as the Express is a popular travel router.
The whole idea behind using this device is that the hotel must provide an Ethernet jack in the hotel room. Then you connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet jack with an Ethernet cable and configure it to provide your own wireless network in the room. You still have to agree to terms, pay the fees, etc.
The problem with this approach is that it is getting very difficult to find hotels in North America that prrovide an Ethernet jack....most have moved to wireless networks and the others are not far behind.
So, if the hotel is already providing a wireless signal, the AirPort Express is of no use in that situation.
If you normally stay at the same hotels, and know that they provide Ethernet ports, an AirPort Express might make sense in terms of convenience.

How can I use Airport Extreme just as a file server - no wifi

I'm setting up a new Apple environment for an invalid music buff. Here are the components, all newly purchased.
MacBook Pro
Airport Extreme
Airport Express
I was handed a G-Drive with a large iTunes file collection on it.
The user will have Comcast as his network provider and he already has a Comcast wireless router, so none of the Apple devices will need to be used as a wireless router or base station (assuming I understand what Apple means by a "base station").
The Airport Express has the primary function of acting as an AirPlay device, feeding an analog music signal to the user's hi-end audio system (Denon integrated amplifier, Thiel Loudspeakers).
The Airport Extreme has the sole function of acting as a network file share for the G-Drive.
The MacBook Pro will operate iTunes and will get its music files from the network shared G-Drive and send it to the AirPlay device, which will feed the music signal to the hi-end audio system.
I am able to get the Airport Express to simply act as a wireless client on the Comcast provided wireless network. The MacBook Pro is also on the network and can see the Airport Express as an AirPlay device and send music to the audio system.
What I'm having problems with is getting the Airport Extreme to simply act as a file server on this LAN. It can either work in bridged mode and just be a wireless network client, or I can readily run an ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to the Airport Express, or even to the Comcast router.
I tried to connect the MacBook Pro to the Airport Extreme with an ethernet cable and get it to "join an existing network", but it refused to recognize the Comcast provided network. All it could see were some networks in homes nearby.
I was hoping that if I just ran a network cable between the Airport Extreme and the Airport Express, that it would just get a network address over DHCP through the Airport Express. Nope.
So I'm stuck. How do I get the Airport Express to simply act as a file server for the G-Drive on my LAN?

+Can I use the Airport Extreme base station as a wired router, with wireless disabled for the time being?+
Sure, but it will probably take just as much time...a few minutes....to turn the wireless off than simply change the name on the default wireless network to your personal choice.
The AirPort Extreme is pre-configured to create a wireless network when it is hooked up to a modem. All you need do is assign a name to this network and establish a password. If you don't want to do this, you can turn the wireless off and use the device as a wired only router.
AirPort Utility, the application that is used to setup the AirPort Extreme has a simple guided step by step process for you to configure the device the way you want.

How do I use Airport Extreme to create wired access point on wireless network?

Bit of an odd situation. I just went from cable to DSL at home and the modem moved from right by my computer to upstairs.
Trouble is, there's no real easy way to get a cable from the modem upstairs to my X-box (sans wireless connector) downstairs.
I could buy the wireless adaptor for the X-Box, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to spend any more money.
I have my airport extreme, and I was hoping I could use it to create a wired access point on the network, recieving the signal from the wireless modem upstairs and allowing me to plug in the X-Box.
Is this possible? If so, how? I've been through the config panel about a dozen times, but can't figure out what combination to set up.
Thanks.

Will it work if I use the express to create the network?
Yes, providing that you have an 802.11n version of the AirPort Express and the Express has been configured to "Allow this network to be extended".
Then, the AirPort Extreme can be configured to "extend" the Express network. When you do this, the AirPort Extreme will provide more wireless coverage and the LAN Ethernet ports are enabled, so you can connect an Ethernet device.
This will not be a "normal" Ethernet connection. It will only work as well as the wireless "hop" between the Express and Extreme allow.
For best results and performance, a wired connection through the hole in the wall is always best. If you decide to do this, you will need the "new" AirPort Express with both a WAN and LAN port on the device. But, you could try wireless first to see if it will meet your goals before you reach for the tools.

How do I use airport extreme to control individual device access?

I don't understand how I can control individual device access to the web using my AirPort Extreme.
I set up the network on a PC (for technical reasons) but hoping to control access of individual devices (including a Mac but also iPods and iPads) to the web using an iPad (although can use the PC if necessary). I have downloaded AirPort Utility on the PC and an iPad but can't work out what to do next.
Can anyone please provide some instructions or point me in the right direction?

The AE has no controls except timed access to wireless.. is that what you are after??

How do I use Airport Extreme to act as a wireless receiver for a Mac Pro?

Hello -
I'm trying to use an Airport Extreme (1st Generation) as a wireless receiver for a Mac Pro but I can't figure out how. My main modem / wireless router (non-Apple) is upstairs. My Mac Pro is down stairs. I'm looking to get internet connection for that Mac Pro downstairs. Is it possible to use the Airport Extreme to connect the Mac Pro to the wireless internet provided by my wireless router?
Thanks for the help.
Nathan

Is it possible to use the Airport Extreme to connect the Mac Pro to the wireless internet provided by my wireless router?
Unfortunately, Apple designed their routers to work with other Apple routers. It would be extremely unilikely that the AirPort Exteme could be configured to work with a router from another manufacturer.
The AirPort Extreme would need to be configured to "Extend a wireless network", but an error message is almost surely to occur when you try this.
There are other alternatives, but they would involve more hardware. Post back if you are interested.

How do i use airport extreme to extend the range of my imac

I have an 2012 Imac and I would like to plug the Internet to my imac and use the the imac wireless and use my airport express to extend the range of the imac wireless signal. I am having an awfully hard time figuring this out - can anyone pass along a link to a document or any suggestions?
Thanks!

Apple's instructions for this are here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
Although two AirPort Extremes are pictured in the example, the setup for a Time Capsule and AirPort Express would be exactly the same.
In general, a good starting location for the AirPort Express would be a point that is approximately half the distance from the Time Capsule and the area that needs more wireless coverage. You may need to experiment with the location of the Express a bit depending on the number of obstructions like walls and/or ceilings in the signal path

How do I use AirPort Extreme to extend my wifi network - have BT HomeHub 5

AirPort Extreme is plugged into my HomeHub 5 and I have set it up as extending a network using the Airport Utility, but it isn't finding the network - the light is orange
Please can someone help me.

Please check out the following Apple Support article on how to configure both devices for a roaming network. The "Extend a network" mode on the AirPort Extreme will NOT work in your setup.

New struggling Mac user

Hello, I have a similar situation of trying to get my Maxtor One Touch4 external HDD to connect to the AEBS for use as a central storage location for files that I can access from my new Mac Mini and my Windows XP laptop. Based on your reply to David's post I wanted to share my experience and see if you have any suggestions.
1. I connected the HDD to the USB port on the AEBS and the drive shows up in the Disk Tab of Airport Utility but I cannot access any folders on the drive.
2. When the HDD is connected directly to my Mini I can access all files on the disk but I cannot save newly created files to the external HDD. In Finder, my HDD shows up in the Device list and if I right click on the HDD and select Get Info this shows my Sharing & Permissions as "read only" for this drive and the "shared folder" checkbox is unchecked. I have gone into System Preferences and turned on File Sharing and I see my name as the admin with read/write permission for this HDD.
3. I'm guessing, based on other posts of yours that I've read, that my situation might have to do with the formatting of my external HDD. It was previously used exclusively with a Dell PC running Windows 7. I will research reformatting the drive but once I do this will my PC laptop running Windows XP still be able to access this drive if it is connected through the AEBS? Also, I may be a bit confused as to how the File Sharing works on a Mac and how it applies to my issue.
Thank you for your assistance.

Can I print from my iPad using airport extreme?

Can I print from my iPad using airport extreme 802.11n ?

iOS devices use AirPrint to print directly to a printer. That would require a printer that is AirPrint-ready. Unfortunately, just connecting a non-AirPrint-ready printer to the USB or Ethernet ports of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), will NOT enable it for AirPrint.

How to share files using airport extreme?

how can i share files between 2 computers connected to a wifi using airport extreme?

Suggest that you enable File Sharing on both computers. Assuming that you have Macs....
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Sharing
Enter a check mark next to File Sharing
Do this on both Macs. Then you will be able to access files one one Mac from the other Mac
If you have an AirPort Extreme 802.11n, it is also possible to connect a hard drive to the USB port on the Extreme. Computers will be able to access files on this "shared" drive.

How to mirror games (real racing3) from iPad to samsung tv, using apple tv ?

Hello, how do I mirror games (real racing3) from iPad to samsung tv, using apple tv & apple extreme card ? Kind Regards Sean.

If your going to play real time games your best bet is to use the HDMI adaptor. Due to the lag or rather delay with the response time of Apple TV or any other wireless method. Other then that you should be able to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to pull up your settings. Tap on Apple TV then chose mirroring. The icon only appears if the Apple TV box is ready and able to connect.
