Have an AirPort Express - Need Help

Got a new CenturyLink Modem/Router and am having TROUBLE resetting up my AirPort Express. Managed to get Century Link Wireless up and running. Then somehow created a Wireless WiFi Network which also seems to work. But the Amber light on the AirPort Exp continues to blink. My goal is to extend the range of my wireless wifi in my home. Don't know what I've done or how to fix it. Please help. Thx.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to extend the wireless range of your new CenturyLink modem/router with the AirPort Express as the two are not compatible for this feature ... at least not if you want the connection between them to be wireless. However, if you can support having a wired connection between them, then they both can be configured for a "roaming" network. This type of network will effectively increase the wireless range as well.

Bought a used Airport Express - Need Help?

I have an airport extreme base station, but its signal doesn't reach into my kitchen as well as I'd like. Thus I bought a used express to act as a signal extender. I plugged it into a wall socket in my kitchen and it picked up the signal from my airport extreme no problem. However, it seems to be WEP enabled from it's old owner and I don't know the password. Is there any way to reset the airport express so I can use it with my own wireless network?

Yes, to reset the AX, just follow these instructions: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
Then follow these instuctions to add it to your existing network: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107454

It has been some time since Apple updated AirPort Utility for Windows. The current version is 5.6.1.
It runs on Windows 7, but I have not checked on Windows 8.

I have an Airport Express that I am trying to use connected by ethernet to my iMac G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. I need to update the Airport software in order to use security option WPA2 Personal. I currently have Airport software v. 5.6.1.

I have an Airport Express that I am trying to use connected by ethernet to my iMac G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. I need to update the Airport Express softwart in order to use security option WPA2 Personal to connect to the internet through my Airport Extreme. I currently have Airport Express software version 5.6.1. How can I update this software? (I can connect directly to my Airport Extreme by ethernet and download the update that way). Is a later version of A E software available for download anywhere? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Download and install AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.11 "Tiger" here:
AirPort Utility 5.4.2
Once installed, launch AirPort Utility. It will tell you if a firmware upgrade is available for your Express.

I have 3 Airport Expresses...can that help if I hook em up?

I have 3 airport Expresses...yes 3...My sons went hardwire and gave them to me....is this an advantage....can I set them up and increase my coverage in the far coner of the two story house?
How?
Thanks!

Can I reset just one Airport express and then reconnect it to the one I use as the main.
Yes. Hold in the reset button on the Express for 7-8 seconds and allow a minute for it to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Now you can reconfigure the Express again.

I have two airport express base stations that I want to configure on two separate sets of speakers in two separate rooms. How do I do this? Airport Utility only seems to scan one express at a time.

I am currently running a PowerPC G5 imac and have a wired broadband modem via ethernet with airport wireless network turned on, on the G5. I have the computer in the bedroom and have an airport express wired into a mixer that connects to my stereo. I have recently bought another airport express base station to connect to a pair of active monitors in the kitchen. When I try to scan these on Airport Utility version 5.42 I am only managing to scan one base unit at a time. I have plugged them in separately and reset them, they both have firmware updates, however the utility will only read one at once. I have read that you can link base stations to the same WDS. I would like to know how to go about doing this if it will only scan one airport express at a time. I have looked it up on the net and not found anything that is a simple fix. Can anyone help? In Apple Support it says that multiple Base Stations can be used. I would like to get both Apple Airport Express units to be able play airtunes separately or at the same time depending where I am in my flat. I do not need different music in each room. I would like to stream music from the computer to multiple rooms in the flat without having to continually unplug and configure the Base Stations. Has anyone come across such a challenge? Any help would be welcome.

How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
Launch the AirPort Utility.
Select the AX.
If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

New airport user need help setting up a pc on the network

went and bought a airport extream today and my mac works fine on it but i also have a pc and need help getting it to work with the airport express. it seems to see the airport in the network slection screen but after i put in the pass i get nothing and it returns to the "chose a wireless network" can anyone help?

Thanks for the reply.
That's interesting, I guess I had assumed that would be a basic thing.
Right now the 4000 number is in port 1, and then 4244 is in port 2. So if no one else is on the phone, and my boss picks up his phone, dials 9 then XXX-XXXX, he will be routed outbound on the 4000 line on port 1. Then while he's talking, if I pick up the phone and dial 9 then XXX-XXXX, I will be routed out on the 4244 line on port 2.
Am I understanding that correctly?
If that is the case, then that is a bit frustrating. Our 4000 line has everything on it, call waiting, caller id, long distance, etc. But the 4244 line is just a basic service. So if I'm calling local or toll free, I don't want to tie the other line up in case someone else needs to make a long distance call to a client. Is there any work around to that at all? Is there any way to use steering digits to point the call to the right line? Would we have to put the PSTN lines on seperate SPA400's?
Again, any comments and suggestions are much appreciated!

I have the airport express and trying to connect to the internet on my Vizio and can't find a code to put in to connect..

I have the airport express and trying to set up internet service on my TV (Vizio) but having no luck.... I need a code to enter in order to connect! Can you help?

Hi - you might be getting full bars but a slow connection - games can be very sensitive to this - have you tried connecting via ethernet to see if it is better? - however if your wireless speed is good too then it could be a ps3 issue and a call to their support might help - otherwise there could be interference issues, radio channel conflicts, etc. - without knowing the specific aspects of your entire network environment it is hard to make any more suggestions.

I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network?

I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network? (I can't seem to find a way to see it).
My computer is acting....well, strange. I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't seem right. Menus look skewed. Some applications look like they're trying to disguise themselves as apple (no consistant window formats). Airplay turns on and off on my devices on it's own. And some locked system preference seem to unlock themselves, or won't even grey-out after I lock them.
I have changed my password many times but the issue keeps coming back. I feel like I'm going crazy - but I know that something just isn't right...maybe someone's been hacking me? (I have no idea why...)
Anyway, maybe I could have stemmed from an improper setup of my wireless network.
Any thoughts?
Also, right now, when I just signed into apple communities....
     I have an iCloud email address that is accociated with my 1 and ONLY Apple ID...
     It seems to have been working but...
     When I loged in here it only saw my:
                              OLD MacBookPro
                              3 Old iPods
                              My new MacMini with OS X Sever (Server is currently turned off)
     Could my Apple ID be confusing my MacBook (which I'm currently using) as an old iPod or my old MacBookPro?
     I doesn't even see my iPad (1st generation), or my iPhone 5
     Also, the Mac App store is giving me the option to download Mountain Lion??? I already have version 10.8.3...
Can anyone perform an analysis on my account and computer? I have been to the Apple Store 6 seperate time and the problem was not resolved (after 6 COMPLETE hard drive wipes).
PLEASE HELP!

i guess you could put the aiport utility app on your iphone, click on the aiport express there, it will show you how many devices are connected to it and the mac addresses of those devices.

I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either.

thank you!

Your AirPort Express is already providing two separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, but each band is using the same wireless network name.
This is the default setup for the AirPort Express, which is recommended for most users. The theory here is that devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the AirPort Express.
It is possible to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" devices at that network to connect. Some users swear by this option.....(I am not one of them).... but you might want to give it a try to see how it works for you.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Express
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Click Wireless Options near the bottom of the next window
Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz Name.....which will automatically add "5 GHz" to the network name....so you can identify it
Click Save, then click Update and wait a full minute for the Express to restart
Now you will need to "point" your 5 GHz capable devices at the 5 GHz network name. 2.4 GHz devices will connect to your "other" network name.

Does my Airport Express need to be hardwired to my modem?

My Imac and modem are in my basement. I have an airport express in my garage so i can play music through Airplay. Does the airport express need to be connected to my modem with an ethernet cable, or can it just connect to my wifi network to enable Airplay?

See this article, AirPort Utility 6.x: Set up a bridge or AirPort Express: How to join an existing Wi-Fi network in client mode , about configuring the AEX. Be sure to have your Airport enabled on the computer.
I'm not sure how easy this will be when using a non-Apple router.

Does airport express need to be connected to Internet to use purely for AirPlay ?

Does airport express need to be connected to Internet to use purely for AirPlay ? Or can I just attach to my stereo and have my Mac connect directly to it in the absence of a wireless network? Tks

you will have to configure the express to create a wireless network but you do not need a connection to the internet.

Airport express needs reboot to be seen by iTunes

My airport express needs a reboot to be seen by iTunes. Wireless network is Linksys EA4500 with 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz networks, Linksys RE2000 range extender set up for 5Ghz and airport express set up for 5Ghz. Latest version of iTunes software and apple express firmware. iTunes running on PC.

Thank you for clarifying that for me.
It may be possible that the placement of the AirPort Express in relationship to the extended Linksys Wi-Fi network may be the factor that it has to be rebooted when attempting to stream from iTunes.
Where do you have the Express in relation to both Linksys devices? Same room, different room, different floor? Also were is the iTunes "server" located, again, in relation to all three device when streaming?
Does the Express still exhibit the same problem for the following two conditions:
When the Express is placed in the same room as the Linksys EA4500 router with the network still extended?
When you temporarily disconnect the RE2000 so the network is no longer extended?

If you are sure that you are entering the correct password, then this sounds like an iPhone issue, so your best bet will be to post in the iPhone Support Community so that the experts over there can help.

Have 2x Airport Express, doesn't seem to be extending network

Hi all,
I have a Time Capsule and 2 Airport Express'. My configuration is as follows:
1. Time Capsule is in Office connected to ethernet DSL Router
2. Airport Express 1 in Living Room
3. Airport Express 2 in Conservatory
I bought the Airport Express' to extend the wireless signal (wirelessly - which I was told by somebody in an Apple Store I could do). All have been setup using the Airport Utility (the Time Capsule created a new network, Airport Express' to existing network) and have a solid green light. They are all acquiring an IP Address from the DSL Router correctly. I can see all 3 in the living room as this is the middle point. However, if I go into the Conservatory my Macbook Pro loses all signal. I can see my Network in the airport list but when I click on it, it asks for a password and then times out.
If somebody could help me with this problem I would be extremely grateful.
Many thanks for your help.

Welcome to the discussions!
I assume that you have the AirPort Express(n) as the "g" version will not be compatible with the "extend a wireless network" function.
Here's a checklist to go through to make sure you have the proper settings:
_On the Time Capsule:_
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
Wireless Mode should be "Create a wireless network" (It's probably already set this way)
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update to save settings
_On each Express:_
Open AirPort Utility, Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode should be set to "Extend a wireless network". If you don't see this choice, hold down the "option" key when you click on the selection box
When you select "Extend.." your wireless network created by the TC will appear as a choice to extend. Select it and enter the wireless password.
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
Update to save settings.
Whenever you plug the Express in, it will automatically extend the main wireless network from the Base Station. The ethernet port is also "live" in this setup. But note...you cannot extend the "guest" network if you have a dual band Time Capsule.
For more info, refer to the Designing AirPort Networks guide, pages 43-44.
