Hooking up a Marantz M-CR603 with Airplay functionality to my wifi network

Hi!
The Marantz has got Airplay functionality but hasn't got wifi so it needs to connect with an ethernet cable.
I have a wifi network set-up that uses a Time Capsule as the router, a 3rd gen Airport Express to extend the network and finally a 1st gen Airport Express. I have connected the Marantz to the latter with an ethernet cable. Most days this works but a lot of the time the marantz device drops out of the list of available airplay devices and the playout is often broken up. Very unstable. All devices are updated w latest firmware. Unfortuntaley the fiber (100/10) enters the apartment elsewhere so need to connect the marantz stereo w wifi. Or isn't this possible? How can I make the airplay work with no downtime and make it more stable? All help appreciated! If I connect an audio cable to the marantz I can get playback using the airport express airplay and that is generally more stable but not perfect either.
Many thanks,
Ken

This device will convert an Ethernet connection to a Wi-Fi one.

Happy accident?: AirPlay available on separate wifi networks

I have an apple airport express version 2011 hooked up to my ISP issued Zyxel modem/router. I use the airport express for a 5ghz signal that I use to stream Netflix and then mirror back onto apple tv for viewing in the living room. From my tests I need the 5 ghz to handle the bandwidth requirements to stream Netflix to laptop and then stream back to apple tv.
The drawback is that I can't have my iPhone 4 on the same network because it doesn't support 5ghz. Nevertheless I have my Zyxel modem/router shooting a 2.4 ghz signal. While the iPhone 4 is connected to the modem/router wifi network, I am able to send music from my iPhone 4 to airport express even though they are on separate wifi networks (although the airport express is connected to Zyxel modem/router through an Ethernet cable). The airplay icon occasionally disappears and a restart of the phone or app does not make it reappear.
What gives? Fom the apple literature, this is not supposed to be possible. I am wanting to understand this because I will soon buy a dd wrt flashed router and if my current setup is more than a mere fluke, I'll purchase a cheaper router with the intention of hardwiring apple tv while using iPhone 4 as a remote on a separate wifi network. That way I won't have to buy a more expensive router simply to have a dual band network going. I plan to use the dd wrt router with VPN installed to stream Netflix to apple tv directly. too bad VPN services do not support installation on airport extreme.
Your insights are appreciated. Thanks.

Interesting hypothesis B-rock. I could try contacting the network administrator but my guess is that I'll be met with a blank look when I ask for that! Still can't be bad to try!
Another piece of "anecdotal" evidence for you. At the local garden centre (which is part of a chain) I used to be able to connect - no problem. Then suddenly all connections failed - at all locations. I am leaning towards believing that they have changed routers to more "modern" ones and for some reason these new routers won't allow connection to an iPod/iPad etc. As yet I cannot confirm this or otherwise and unless someone comes up with a bright idea I'm left with the feeling that unless the network administrator recognises that he/she needs to create a network that works with iPads/iPhones etc we're doomed. I noticed that the next table over using a PC had no problems! Grrrr.

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.

Can you help with why my Ipad, when streaming with Airplay, drops off my wifi extender?

Hi, I use a wifi extender to get better coverage down the back of my house. When close to my router, I use airplay from my ipad on my regular network, streaming to my marantz sr5007. It works perfectly. When I'm in the backroom, I choose the extender network for my ipad (network.ext) to stream music using airplay. After a few minutes (normally 3 but it's been up to 20minutes), the music stops and the ipad shows it's back on it's own speaker. No music is playing. I can then choose the marantz again, the music will start. Two minutes later the same thing happens.
This only happens when on the SSID of the extender. Strangely, when I use itunes on my pc to stream music, and place it on the extender SSID, it's stable and keeps the connection to the marantz.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much. I'm going to contact Netgear when I get home to see if they've got any ideas.
I'll also try to use a static IP for the marantz. That seems to have helped a couple of people.
Thanks again.

My iPhone 4 with ios7 wont find any wifi network any solution?

I recently changed my screen and after that my iPhone stoped finding WIFI networks I tried reseting it, puting it in the freezer reseting network settings and still nothing. Any other solution you may have?

If you had Apple replace the battery, then you can take it back to have it checked. If you opened the device yourself, then all bets are off. Cannot get help here.

Alert with TableView: (eg: select a wifi network)

Can someone please point me in the right direction of implementing an alert window containing a table view?
The only example I can think of is when you open Safari (without a known WiFi network). This shows an alert window containing a list of available WiFi networks. You can scroll and select one.
Thanks

Hi,
In order to see what i'm talking about do the following:
1) Make sure you have a WiFi Connection
2) Go into WiFi and click the little blue icon next to your connection
3) Select "forget this network"
4) You should now have lost your WiFi connection
5) Make sure your GPRS connection isn't active (modify username / password etc)
6) Open Safari and it should struggle to load the page
7) It will then display an Alert Window containing a scrollable table view where you can choose a WiFi network to connect too.
This is what i'm trying to achieve.
Thanks

Airplay from 4S crashes Wifi

When I use the iPhone4S Airplay function in my home network, it will play music for about 30secs, then the Wifi will cut out - for all devices - the indicator light on my Airport Extreme blinks yellow until it - so I assume - reboots and all is fine. Until I use Airplay again.
Streaming music from iTunes from either my macbook or my macpro works fine. iPhone not at all.
Using Airport Extreme & Airport Express, none prompt me to update their firmware.
Other people seem to be having the same issue: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1257699

Sorry, but that's just a ridiculous thing to say. The fact that an issue is intermittent or dependent on other variables does not mean its not an issue. You have provided an opinion with no data and no help. If you can't contribute to a solution, please abstain from this thread.
If a device on a network can crash a router/WAP, the issue is with that router/WAP is there is no "crash the network" command within the Wi-Fi protocol.
That's why there are networking standards; if properly adhered to they dictate what will occur when commands are received and commensurately, the only things that will happen.
Feel free to fill out the form and peruse the actual specifications of the protocol yourself if you so choose; there's no "crash network" option.

Whether the router is Apple's or another vendor's, it needs to be able to deal with whatever traffic/commands are sent to it.

Airport Extreme with Airplay

Having an issue getting airplay to work on my apple devices after connecting an Airplay enabled Denon AVR1912 receiver. When I first hooked the receiver up to my network, I found the airplay icon on my iPad and MacBook. Both were able to establish communication with the receiver and airplay worked just fine. After shutting everything down for the day and going back the next day, I can no longer find the Airplay icon so I can't establish music streaming to my receiver. I have no idea why it worked the first time and now is dead in the water. I've read through every discussion thread I can find as well as posing a question to the Denon help desk. They only said that it's not a Denon issue and to reboot all devices which I did with no change. What is really wierd is that I can stream internet radio through the receiver so it's communicating in the network just fine. It appears that Airplay really is the culprit. I've got all the latest releases installed as well as any/all firmware updates to all devices including the Denon receiver, my airport extreme and iPad.
I've also attended to all the suggestions in the support sight for troubleshooting airplay including the following:
f your Apple TV, Airport Express, or compatible 3rd-party device does not appear in the AirPlay menu, follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Verify that your AirPlay-enabled devices have the most up-to-date software or firmware (see the table above for minimum AirPlay requirements).
Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are logged on to the same home Wi-Fi network (check the home network names on your all your devices to confirm).
Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on and is associated with the same home Wi-Fi network as your AirPlay-enabled device.
Ensure that AirPlay is enabled on the device to which you are trying to stream content (for example, you can disable or enable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay).
Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same AirPlay-enabled device at the same time.
Turn off Bluetooth on your iOS device by tapping Settings > General > Bluetooth.
If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).
I'm now at a standstill as to how best to resolve. Any suggestions? I'm thinking I need to go the extra mile and install AppleTV to remove the receiver from the equation. Thanks in advance for any insight from a knowledgable Apple tech.

As you, I have tried everything and I do not know what to do next, eventhough when I lose airplay I can put it back on by resetting the network or rebooting the router. That is the only way to use it again. I think this is to do with the Airplay feature.

My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi. The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1. The TV displays the Apple Menu. The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
Apple software: 7.1 (7003)
Apple TV: Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video. I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2. Can you help please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

Anybody else having problems with airplay with ios 5.1 on iphone 4s

So i bought an iphone 4s a few months back and it came with ios 5, i then tryed it with my airplay speakers and they kept cutting out so i googles about it and found there was a known problem with iphone 4s and airplay speakers.
ios 5.0.1 then came out a few weeks later and the problem seemed to be fixed and i was happy as they worked fine after that
ios 5.1 then came out so i updated my 4s to this and started playing music through airplay and they started to cut out again, i turned them off and on and it happened again, then i reset them to my wifi router and the problem still occured
Is anybody else having this problem with airplay on there iphone 4s running ios 5.1?
If so, apple really need to sort this out! I bought my iphone with high expectations and to pay all that money for it not to work is not good

Try resetting your device by holding down both the home and lock buttons for ~10 seconds or until the device restarts, ignoring the power slider.

Ive wifi in my room and am able to access the internet on my laptop, Ive also been able to through the Bose Soundlink air wifi set application connect the bose speaker to the Wifi too.
I am only able to play my itunes through my macbook speakers and cannot find the airplay button which should be next to the volume slide once turned down to less than 1/3 of the volume..

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

HT4437 I was able to bring a Video from Amazon Prime to my iPad, but with Airplay got only the audio through my AppleTv. Any suggestions to get the video also (from iPad to AppleTv)?

Amazon Prime reply app does not allow video airplay - nor do several other content providers.
It must have something to do with digital rights/copyright.
