Has anyone ever plugged into the airport express to get online?

Want to plug my xbox 360 into the airport express to get online so I don't have to move anything around.
Right now my modem & router is in bedroom, & the airport express is in the living room (w/xbox and speakers) to extend wireless signal and throw music to speakers in living room.
I can move it, just lazy and then won't be able to use speakers, and don't want to buy xbox wireless adapter.....
It's already a bridge, it would make sense that I could plug in? maybe not ;}

If you have the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) set up as a remote base station in a WDS configuration, then, yes, you can connect the Xbox 360 to the AX's Ethernet port for Internet connectivity. If it's setup as a wireless client, then no.

I just bought an AirPort express. Currently I have a qwest wired router plugged into the back of my computer via an ethernet cable. Can I just unplug the ethernet cable and plug it into the AirPort express, then use the setup utility?

I just bought an AirPort express. Currently I have a qwest wired router plugged into the back of my computer via an ethernet cable. Can I just unplug the ethernet cable and plug it into the AirPort express, then use the setup utility? Most of the discussions involve an existing wireless network. I don't have one.

Correct. That's the way to set up the AirPort Express. After connecting your AirPort Express to the router, open AirPort Utility (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps

I have a pc running windows 7. I got an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi and the printer is now plugged into the Airport. The wireless router works fine but the printer shows as offline in control panel and in word. The printer is a HP LaserJet CP1525nw.

+For now I have it set to Share Public IP address - Is this correct for my Network Setup with The Airport Extreme being the only router being used ?+
This would be the correct setting if the AirPort Extreme is connected to a simple modem (one ethernet port).

Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?

Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?
Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?

The first question answer is yes..
The question is asked continually.. please read the methods that Tesserax wrote up so well.
See remote access tip here.
AirPort
Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?
Unlikely .. because your TV uses a system called DLNA.. and Apple do not support DLNA in any way shape or form.. because they are fully committed to iTunes.. Apple routers have no media extensions.. unlike most other decent brands now which mostly do support multimedia.
Having said that.. you can place your video files on the external hard disk.. and play them.. but you need a player.. a real player not an apple TV which is a streamer.. eg A WD Live TV can play video files.. because it is a media player.. unlike your TV or apple TV.

Can I plug any USB printer that supports AirPrint into the AirPort Express?

I'm interested in getting the new AirPort Express to print from my iPhone. Will any Airprint printer work with my iPhone and iPad?

Hi autefrum,
It sounds like we are confusing AirPrint printers with printers capable of being used with an AirPort Express for wireless printing.
AirPrint capable printers have wireless built in so you can print "directly" from your iPhone, no AirPort Express needed.
The AirPort Express has a USB port to which you connect a "regular" USB printer so you can print to that wirelessly. Effectively, it makes your standard USB printer an AirPrint printer by supplying the wireless connection. So if you have a USB printer already, the AirPort Express may allow you to print to that.
From the spec page, "USB 2.0 port for connecting a USB printer" and "Wireless printing over USB requires a compatible printer and OS X v10.2.7 or later, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.

HT4259 when i plug in the airport express i can't find it in the aiport utilities

I need help setting up the Airport Exress as an extender of my Airport Extreme. I am folowing all the instructions and I still cannot find it in the utilities when I open it.

Move the AX to the same room or area as the AirPort Extreme
Please perform a Factory Default Reset of the AirPort Express (AX) as follows:
Power the AX down and wait a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the AX and keep holding it for 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the AX back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 40-45 seconds for the AX to display a slow, blinking amber light
Open AirPort Utility and look at the tab in the upper right corner of the screen and you should see.....
Other AirPort Base Stations (1)
Click on this tab, then click on AirPort Express xxxxxx
AirPort Utility will take a few minutes to analyze your network and suggest that the AX be configured to extend your network
Accept this choice and wait another few minutes for the configuration
You should receive a message that the AX has been configured and see a green light
Unplug the AX and move it to a location that is approximately half the distance from the AirPort Extreme to the area that needs more wireless coverage.

Has anyone experienced problems with their airport express since yosemite?

Since updating to Yosemite, I am constantly having issues with my Airport Express. It flashes yellow, indicating no connection. I have attempted to:
Soft Reset: Unplug it (Airport Express) and plug in again
Factory Reset: Unplug it, push & hold the reset button with a paper clip while pulling it back in.
A Tip From Another Site: Unplug our Time Capsule we use as a router & the Airport Express, wait 3 minutes - then plug in the Time Capsule, wait another minute - then plug in Airport Express. This worked for a very short amount of time, then the light started flashing yellow again.
Again, I had no problems before updating to Yosemite.
I look forward to & appreciate any help resolving this issue.

HT4259 Trying to set up airport express to extend my wireless network. Primary base station is a time capsule. Even when I plug in the airport express to mac it cannot find it.

Trying to set up airport express to extend my Wi-Fi network. Primary base station is a time capsule. Tried searching for airport express using Wi-Fi status, no luck. Even tried plugging airport express into iMac, still no luck. Airport express showing solid amber light. Thanks for any help.

Airport express showing solid amber light
Unfortunately, this can mean one of two things:
1) The Express is locked up and will need a Factory Default Reset procedure to try to return the device back to its original default settings so that it can be reconfigured again.
2) The Express is defective. If you cannot get the Express back to a slow, blinking amber light after a Factory Default Reset, the Express will need to be replaced.
Try the Factory Default Reset a few times and report back on your progress.

How can I access the contents of the USB drive plugged into the Airport through Windows 8?

We have an equal amount of Macbook Pro's and Window's computers in our house and we just purchased the Airport Time Capsule 3TB. It works great, but, I want to plug in an external USB Hard Drive to the Airport and access it through the WIndows 8 computers. Within the Airport Utility, I can see the drive, but, I cannot access the drive through explorer in Windows 8.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance....

Tesserax said.....
The Time Capsule's file sharing service works best if the drive is formatted for HFS+, but it will also work with those formatted in FAT32.
The Time Capsule will share out this drive using the SMB protocol which is used by Windows or Linux-based computers.....
You said.....
I have to figure out if Windows 8 can read the drive if it is formatted with teh HFS+. I suspect not
To confirm again what Tesserax said.....Windows 8 can read and write to the HFS+ formatted network drive. FAT16/32 will also work.

Has anyone ever succesfully used the bios recovery feature?

i have a p35 platinum that im working with, cant get it to do right. so i was wondering anyone. ever? on any board? seems like as much as i paid for this thing it would work.

it depends on the severeness of your system. In most case, where BIOS is destroyed/corrupted completely, there is really no way for recovery except changing the BIOS chip. Some the damange is not that worse and it's still possible to do the recovery.
and yes, it did work for me before. and of course, it didn't work for some of my systems too.

HT4528 has anyone been led into the middle of the woods by apple maps???

we were moving cross country and were led off of the interstate into a wooded subdivision that had NO business having a 26' uhaul on their roads. Luckily a home owner came out to ask us what we were doing there. Told them we were lost and he led us to town and a motel. I about went off a cliff, and the uhaul about rear ended me over the edge. All because of Apple Maps on my brand NEW apple iPhone 5c that was only days old. We were in a different state, city and town with three kids four dogs and it was dark. I talked with my family about this and apparently I am not the only one who has had problems with Apple Maps. It's a common problem. BEWARE of your use of APPLE MAPS!!!

And beware of any other GPS map as well as they are not 100% accurate either; espcially in rural areas. Why people blindly follow a GPS instead of being aware of their surroundings and using common sense is beyond me.

Laptop just goes off sometimes several times a day. It has always been plugged into the wall.

This problem has been happening in the last several weeks. It has a cooler under it, but will do this even with the cooler on or off. Could the power source plug be getting bad????

Just taking a stab here but do you have IPv6 enabled? Many of us had a problem with our RG rebooting throughout the week when IPv6 was enabled (which is the default setting). Disabling IPv6 has resolved that issue for me and some others. If you are using the NVG-589, you can change this setting by going to Home Network menu, then Configure menu on the router.

Has anyone had issues with the airport extreme 802.11 connecting with a linksys SPA941 phone?

Got the new AirPort Extreme. Trying to connect my Linksys SPA941 phone to it. Mute button flashes so call receiver cannot hear me. Tested wires..All good. Changed modem..All good. Had same issue with Linksys router EA4500 i just traded in. Hoped to fix the issue with Airport. Same issue is occuring.

One more thing. I was using the Linksys WRT54G2 router before. Did not have any issues. It was going bad on me.

Has anyone ever plugged into the airport express to get online?
