Getting a partial connection with airport express

I recently moved my macbook and airport express to college. My computer connects fine to the base station with full bars. However, I can't open any web browsers. What's really strange is that I can still connect to Adium. Any idea why or what I can do about it?

I'm getting a message that the built in ethernet cable isn't connected. When I connect my DSL modem directly to the computer, everything works fine. My secondary machine see's the network but has "trouble" connecting. I've done the hard reset of the base station but still with the same resutls. I think my air port is on it's last legs.
I've decided to chuck it all and ordered a 2Wire 2700HG.

Can I create a home network withous dsl connection with airport express

can I create a home network without dsl connection with airport express?
So it means I can't connect to my HP Airprint/Wireless printer without exretnal connection through ISP?? Just need to print from my Mac and iphone. I have Vodafone Prepaid connection, which is directly connected to my Mac. Does that make an internal network possible?

You have to set up the Air Port with an internet connection to set up a network. Do you have a modem? If yes you can set up the network.

iMac losing wiffi connection with airport express when sleeping. I can't wake the iMac with the remote app on the iPhone. when i open airportconfiguration on the iphone is see that the imac isn't connected anymore. Normaly the airport express wake up the iMac but it doens't. What is wrong?

anyone knows a reason for the item above?

My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have our iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices no problem. Any thoughts on this?

.....doesn't that seems to suggest the modem?
That is what I have suggested....twice now. From posts above:
My opinion would be that it is likely not the ISP, unless you have complete loss of Internet service for all devices at the same time......it is the Comtrend device....
and
I believe that the problem lies with the modem, and not the ISP signal.
Your ISP will likely have a different opinion, though. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Can't get itunes to connect to airport express via air tunes

Hi,
I just bought and installed an airport express (for windows 7) everything is now connected but i can't get itunes to recognize my airport express via air tunes. I can see the multiple speakers in itunes, but when i click on it to connect to airport it just comes up with connecting, loads for about a minute then minimizes without connecting.
Has anyone else experienced this? How can i get this to work?

You've probaby solved this by now, but if not... When upgrading itunes on a Vista or Windows 7 machine with Windows Firewall running for some reason Bonjour can't get through the firewall and thus Airplay does not work. Not good when all your Hi-fi's are connected via airport express!
I found to resolve the issue you have to install an older version of Bonjour. It won't work if you try to do this straight from Apple. So try this...
1. Firstly install and older version of itunes from the web (say version 10.1) Try www.oldapps.com
2. Then find the Bonjour file in program files
3. Cut and paste it to your desktop with its contents
4. Uninstall itunes and Bonjour via your control panel (the desktop file of Bonjour you moved will still be there).
5. Install your new version of itunes, say version 10.5, from the apple website.
6. Before opening it go to program files and cut the (newly installed) Bonjour file and paste it somewhere different to the desktop (you can't just delete it). It does not matter where you won't be needing it.
7. Now Cut and paste the old version of Bonjour you stuck on the desktop in Program files in place of the one you just moved.
8. Hey presto, Airplay, Windows firewall and your Airport Express' should all get on again.
Hope this works...

How make wireless connection with airport express to Yamaha Clavinova CVP-403 ?

I would like to wirelessly connect my Yamaha Clavinova CVP-403. I would like to use a D-link DWA 125 and my airport express. Does anyone has any experience on how to do that?

Hi Henry - you seem to be a very helpful and knowledgeable person and I am wanting to dive in to the depths of wireless working at home and could probably do with your advice. I certainly dont have as much knowledge as Jaybee and if hes had problems I am feeling a little apprehensive.
I know that the first thing I need to do is get an ethernet modem to use with Airport Express as I currently only have a USB modem. I was wondering if you have any recommendations or if I should go straight for the Netgear DSL modem/router (DG834B) that Jaybee ended up with. Although the bit about disabling the Airport Express resp. Extreme routers scares me rigid
I have looked at About this Mac and got the following for you hope its helpful.
OSX 10.3.9
1.33 HGz PowerPC G4 processor
Airport Extreme: Worldwide
Firmware: 400.17(3.90.34.0.p11)
Airport admin utility: 4.2 (v420.31)
My ISP is also Tiscali (UK) - they have said they can only provide modem support on the USB modem they provide so once I switch to an ethernet modem Ill be on my own. I have checked the Tiscali website and found the following modems, so I would assume (probably unwisely) that they would be compatible with my account...
Zoom X6 5590 DSL Modem (55907200)
D-Link DSL-300T
Zoom Hayes ADSL Ethernet (H0-15805) (081580572)
Any help is very gratefully received.

Is is possible connecting a Trekstor wifi Storage with airport express?
In theory, the Trekstor should be able to connect to an existing network either via a wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) connection. The AirPort Express, depending on the model, can supply both.
On the other hand, the Express DOES NOT support hard drives connected to its USB port; whereas, the Extreme and Time Capsule base stations do.

Need help getting LG TV wifi connection with Airport Express?

I can successfully hook the tv up to the network using the dongle PIN method on the Airport Express. It works fine until I turn the tv off. Then I have to go through the whole setup procedure again. Very frustrating. How can I get the Airport to allow the tv access when I turn the tv back on without having to do the setup again? I did not limit access to 24 hours. Not sure what I am missing. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

The dongle is the little usb device that makes the tv wifi capable, it is assigned a unique PIN that I input into the airport express utility so my wireless network will allow it access. All that works fine, but I have to redo the whole setup everytime I turn the tv off. Have you any experience with this and can offer a hint on how to allow the tv access each time I turn it on?

Ipad connects with Airport Express, but not wireless router

I have a airport express that exends my network and is connected by an ethernet cable to the wireless router. they are on opposite sides of the house from each other. every other device i own has full bars wifi anywhere in the house. but the ipad only seems to find the signal from the AE.
If i go in the bedroom with the wireless router, the signal drops to 1 bar. if i unplug the AE along with all the other electronics for the TV/Receiver at night, the ipad loses the signal and cannot get a signal from the router, standing right next to it. i have tried reset, hard reset, renew lease forgetting network, and all fails. any ideas?
I have a Verizon Ultraline series 3 model A90-9100EM15-10 and the firmware is up to date.

Disclaimer - For me the Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture very different from that found in most 1st world nations, such as that in the two dominant North American countries. Written language has no tone. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You likely have your reason for extending your network in this manner, but it seems that the AE is not really extending your router's network, but creating its own separate network that then extends your internet connection. This can be confusing to devices if you are expecting that they will switch between the two of them automatically.
The iPad can only support one connect at a time. It sounds like you want it to be able to jump from the AE connection to a router connection on a whim when signal strength drops. I am not sure that the iPad's radio is that sophisticated. At best when the iPad looses a signal it could ask if you want to join any other network that it detects, especially if it has connected to that network in the past.
AFA the router, some routers don't like iOS devices and just won't connect. When you go to Settings/Wi-Fi does the iPad see the router's network? If the iPad sees the router network, try configuring a connection by hand.
Tap Other... and write the name of the router's network. Tap Security and select the type of security the router's network employs. Return to the previous pane and enter the password. Tap Join. If you can make the conection the iPad should remember this network in the future. Turn on Ask to Join Networks and hopefully when the iPad looses the AE signal in the future it will then ask you if you want to join the router's network.

Sudden slow wifi connection with Airport Express 802.11n

Recently, all of a sudden I noticed the speed of my internet droped dramaticlly from ~27Mbps to ~4Mbps (Speedtest.com) Comcast's blast. When I connect my laptop directly to the modem there is no problem with the speed. I tried restarting the modem, changing the channel/radio mode on the airport express, hard reset the airport epress, change the location of the airport express but nothing has changed. I notice that the speed fluctuate on speedtest.com meaning it ranges from 1-3 to 5-7Mbps. I test the speed on three other laptops but still got the same result. The only change I can think of that could effect this is the addetion of two computers to the network but I would still get the same speed when they are powered off.
Thanks

Do I have to change anything on my computers?
you use +airport utility+ (AU) (in your applications > utilities folder). launch AU, double-click on the icon of your extreme to enter manual setup, and go to the wireless tab. see this screen shot
however, before you do, i recommend you download iStumbler (does not work with Snow Leopard) or AirRadar (it has a trial period) and note the channels other networks in your vicinity are broadcasting on. change the channel of your network as far away as possible from those.
good luck !

Having trouble bridging wired connection with Airport Express

I've had an Airport Express Base Station for a little while, really only using it to wirelessly print and stream my music.
I'm at my college now, and there's a campus wide wired network. I've been trying to bridge this network so I can wirelessly connect to the internet with my laptop, Nintendo DS and eventually Nintendo Wii. The problem is that I can only get the orange blinking light on the AEBS, I don't have the software that came with it (though I have the Airport Admin and Setup stuff under Utilities), and the computer doesn't seem to recognize the base station at all.
I'm an idiot, I'm pretty certain, but is there something easy I am overlooking here? Will an AEBS not bridge a wired network unless it's cable or DSL? I'm unclear on exactly what kind of network my college uses.
thanks!

Most likely your college's network is providing NAT/DHCP services. I suggest that you set up your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a "wireless bridge."
To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, make these settings:
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
- Apply the new setting.
- Wait at least 5 minutes.

Lose internet connection with airport express

I have a powerpc imac G5 and intel powerbook with built in airport and using an airport express for both. I've since moved in with my fiance and she has a PC. We can all connect to my airport express without any problems initially. Every once in a while though I'll lose my connection in all 3 computers. The green light on the express is lit at all times. If I unplug the express and replug and wait for it to reset, all is fine again... for a while... then some days later it'll go out again. Any ideas why this is happening.
Thanks in advance for any help.
J.

Hana, welcome to the discussions!
First thing to check is how much competition you have for the airways in your area.
Download iStumbler, www.istumbler.net to get a look at the other wireless networks that may be causing interference with your system.
Pay close attention to the channels that the other networks are occupying. Then using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup - Wireless Tab, change your channel to a setting that is as far away as possible from the other channels in use.
If you are in a dense area of apartments, etc., it may be quite difficult to find a clear channel. And, most modern routers allow the user to keep their network hidden, so you may not be able to even see some networks. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts here.
You might also try "interference robustness" under "Options" on the Wireless Tab in AirPort Utility - Manual Setup. There may be a slight speed penalty for using this setting, but if it prevents interruptions, that will be good compromise.
Post back on your progress.

Troublesome connection with AirPort Express

Hi,
I recently bought an AirPort Express (Model no. A1392)
EDIT.. Oops posted it before i was done. Hang on!

I got my AX last week. I upgraded the firmware to version 7.3.1. Initially, I was able to connect to the AX without wireless security setup. When I setup security, I couldn't connect. I tried to revert to version 7.3 of the firmware, but the place where it appears I can revert to version 7.3, that version is not an option. I'm trying to connect to the AX from a Dell D800 running Windows XP. I have tried WEP and WPA. Each time I haven't been able to connect with security setup, I was able to reset the AX and then connect again without security setup. That was then this is now.
Now, I can't connect to the AX even without security setup. Based on someone's suggestion on this site, I made some changes to the wireless connection for the AX on the Association tab of the Wireless Properties window, which may have created this new problem. However, I tried to revert to the previous settings and I removed the AX wireless connection so a new one could be generated with the default settings.
I have spent hours trying to get this Apple product to work correctly. I'm fed up with it and I'm ready to get a refund. What suggestions do you Apple devotees have?
