How can I force reset the Airport Express?

My Ariport Express won't reset. Airport Setup Utility for iphone 4s, ipad 3rd gen and Windows cant detect the Airport Express. It was set not to Brodcast SSID before i reset it. I tried 3 ways to reset but non of them worked. Is there other process?

Try a Factory Default Reset as follows:
Power off the Express
Wait a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the Express first, and keep holding it in for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
If the Express is operating correctly, it is now broadcasting a default network of Apple Network xxxxxx. You must first log on to this network....no password is required.....and then open AirPort Utility to configure the Exress with new settings.
If you try the default reset a few times with no luck, unfortunately this is likely an indication that the Express is defective, and will need to be replaced. Take the Express to an Apple Store or Apple Servicer to have them take a look at the Express to verify.

    The ZyXEL P-2601HN-F1, as you know, is a combination DSL modem & 802.11n wireless router (or gateway device).
    For your goal you will want to take a look at this Apple Support article for details on how to configure an AX for iTunes.
    If you are still having difficulties with the AX joining the ZyXEL's wireless network, you can try the following:
    Temporarily disable wireless encryption.
    If you are hidding the SSID, disable that feature.
    Change the Mode Select setting to: 802.11g Only
    Change the Channel Selection from "Auto" to a set channel, like 1, 6, or 11

  • MacBook Pro that  my Airport Express WiFi profile was created crashed. Can i reset the Airport Express either to an iPad or Windows 7 computer?

    MacBook Pro that  my Airport Express WiFi profile was created crashed. Can i reset the Airport Express either to an iPad or Windows 7 computer?

    Get the Airport Utility for the your iPad from the App store. You will need to know the password for the Airport Express (not the WiFi password) to access the AE. The iPad utility will, I think, do all of the actions to control your AE.
    You can reset the AE back to factory default but with the iPad app you should not ned to.

    How can I set up mhy Airport Express to extend my Time Capsule wifi wirelessly
    Assuming that you have the model A1264 or A1392 version of the Express, it must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule to be able to extend it correctly.
    A good general location would be a point that is about half way between the Time Capsule and other area that needs more wireless coverage.
    You will use AirPort Utility on your computer to configure the Express. An iPhone or iPad could be used as well.
    We can provide more help....if you need it....but we'll need to know what version of AirPort Utility that you are using on your computer....or whether you want to use an iPhone or iPad to setup the Express.

  • I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

    I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

    The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
    Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".

  • I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac. Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before. I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings.

    I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac.
    Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before.
    I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings. I have also used Ethernet on its own but still get the same sound problems.
    I would love to turn itunes sound off as you used to be able to do, but this I believe can't be done.
    Has anyone else been having the same types of problem, and better still has anyone got the answer?

    When the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is connected by Ethernet, you will find an option in the AirPort Utility, labeled: Enable AirTunes over Ethernet on the Music pane. Just select this option to allow streaming iTunes via the AirPort's Ethernet port. You should also be able to disable the AX's wireless so that it shouldn't interfere with the nearby TC.

  • How can I use my old AirPort Express?

    How can I use my old AirPort Express (the one that plugs right into the wall without a power cable) to stream music to a stereo when I am using the new Airport Express?  The AirPort Utility 6.1 will not recognize the old AirPort Express.

    Apple does not make it easy for you to use an older device when they want you to buy newer devices.
    See this link for tips on how to install a version of AirPort Utility on Mountain Lion that will allow you to configure your older Express:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1167965/mountain_lion_and_the_ancient_airport_ba se_station.html
    This is not supported by Apple, so it is your decision on whether you want to move forward with this. It works fine for me, but I cannot guarantee that it will work for you, nor offer support if you have difficulty.

  • How can i use my old airport express with my new imac and wireless hp print

    i just bought my first imac (intel) and a wireless hp printer. i now realize that a wireless connection between my imac and my printer needs a router.
    i have an airport express base station, which is a few years old. I can't find my documentation, so i don't know its specifications.
    how can i find out the specs of the airport express i have and whether i can use it now? it says that it is model a1084 100-240v~ 0.2a 50-60 hz.
    does that tell any knowledgeable people out there about the specs? can i search the apple website by serial number and find the specs?
    thank all of you potential responders ahead of time.

  • HT204057 How can I back up with AirPort Express? I have a flash memory.

    I want to back up my Mental case 2  information. How can I do it with my AirPort Express?

    Sorry, but the USB port on the AirPort Express does not support storage devices, and thus, cannot be used as a destination for backups. For Apple products you would need to use either the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule for this purpose.

  • My system can not connect with the Airport Express while the signal is very good?

    Neither my phone nor my desktop (windows 7) can not make a connection with the Airport Express. The signal keeps flashing amber.
    Several specialists have checked but can not solve this problem. Any ideas?

    I am in exactly the same boat...

  • How can i change my old airport express password with mavericks

    I just bought a new TV and I am trying to connect to my wi-fi, which runs via an old Airport Express. The TV manufacturer says that I should try changing my password from a WEP to WPA - but it seems that I can't even access my Airport Express because it's not supported by Mavericks. Is there a work-around, or do I need to upgrade my Airport Express? It's running fine otherwise - supports multiple laptops and iPhone.

  • How can i connect my existing airport express to my new time capsule network?

    I have an older airport express for wirelessly extending my network in my apartment. I bought a new Time Capsule and my airport express flashes amber and cannot find the time capsule to connect. How do I get them connected?

    You can use the USB3 connections for USB2.  That's downward compatible.  Just runs at USB2 speed.
    Just this week apple announced a couple of TB adapters, TB-to-ethernet and TB-to-firewire.  But the FW adapter is not at the apple store as yet (at least at the time I am posting this).

  • How can I manage an older airport express base station with Mountain Lion?

    This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support."
    I tried to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on my Mac OSX 10.8 Mac Book and it will not allow me to.  How do I manage my "older" airport?

    The 5.6 version can be installed but it does take an alternative route to do so. For example, you can use a utility like Pacifist to first extract the utility, and then, move it to the Utilities folder. Once "installed" by this method, it runs just fine on Mountain Lion.
