How can i set up my airport extream with window pc (win8)?

indeed the airport agent (airport utility) in my pc cannot detect my airport

Apple makes considerable effort to make networking simple and secure. Other companies don't.
I don't know where you are at in the troubleshooting process, but here are most of the steps.
You first need to run the AirPort Utility before you can start. You may be able to use VM Ware or Virtual Box to run a compatible operating system if Windows 8 won't work.

Once you get AirPort Utility running, you can configure the AirPort hardware. It is best to connect the laptop directly to the AirPort hardware using an Ethernet cable.
You should change passwords and SSID once you get the AirPort Utility software running on the laptop connected with the AirPort hardware.
Your laptop will not 'see' the AirPort hardware without the Ethernet cable if you use the wrong frequency. The most likely reason is that the laptop has older WiFi hardware (or no WiFi hardware).
WiFi uses two frequencies: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. You need to find out which one your laptop requires. Select 802.11b or 802.11g for 2.4GHz. Select 802.11ac for 5GHz.
Your laptop will show the AirPort SSID after you select the right frequency on the AirPort hardware (if your laptop has WiFi capability and if your WiFi hardware is turned on).
Use the "Show Password" menu option in the AirPort utility to show the WEP passwords for the AirPort hardware. You will need these to join the laptop to WiFi network.
Best of luck.

    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".

    What is the make & model of the wireless router that is currently providing your Wi-Fi network? What is your goal for the AirPort Express base station? To extend this Wi-Fi network or for streaming iTunes/sharing a USB printer ... or both? Finally which model of Express do you have?

  • HT201060 How can I set up a new iPad with my 5 year old daughters iCloud address when it won't let me because I've allowed her to be part of my family on my iPad.?

    How can I set up a new iPad with my 5 year old daughters icloud address when the new iPad won't let me cause I've made her part of my family group?

    If you want to migrate your phone to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • I can not set up my officejet 4500 with windows 8

    I NEED HELP
    I can not set up my officejet 4500 with windows 8

    You  can get the software from your printer's website:
    Start at
    HP 4500 officejet
    Select your exact model, put in your Operating System...
    You are looking for the Product Installation Software -- the Full Feature Software for your OS
    Download the package, it may be large..
    Then install it... Reboot your computer after the installation.
    That may do it!
    Good Luck!

  • How do i set up my time capsule with windows

    How do I set up my airport time capsule using Windows 7 home premium?

    If you have the newest AC model TC.. you might be in trouble. Apple specifically state you need v6 airport utility. They do not provide v6 with windows.. only Mac and iOS. If you happen to have iphone, ipad even itouch, you can download and install the airport utility and use that.. you just cannot do the setup from windows.

  • How can I set up an Airport Extreme as a router, in conjunction with my AT&T modem/router?

    I am trying to set up an Airport Extreme as my router, and I am currently using an AT&T modem/router combo. I am wondering what would be the easiest way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the ATT modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme. This cable must remain in place permanently.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac
    Click on Other WiFi Devices
    Click on AirPort Extreme xxxxx
    The utility will take a moment to analyze the connection, then a screen similar to this will appear with your AirPort Extreme instead of an AirPort Express
    Type in a short simple name that you want to use for the wireless network
    Type in a device name for the AirPort Extreme
    Enter a password that will be used for both the AirPort Extreme and wireless network
    Verify the password
    Click Next
    The utility will setup everything for you. When the message of Setup Complete appears, click Done and close AirPort Utility.
    The AirPort Extreme wireless network is now available.
