How can I use airport express to over-ride TWC wireless ubee?

I currently pay Time Warner Cable $6 a month for the wireless feature of their regular internet service, administered via a ubee modem. I want to cancel this service and instead run my wifi through an Apple Airport Express. But when I plug it in and try to use it, it flashes amber (I gather I need to disable the TWC wifi first, but don't know how to do this and TWC are reluctant advisors.)
Any help greatly appreciated.

It is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking equipment any time you make hardware configuration changes.
Please try the following:
Power-down the modem, AXn and computers; leave them powered-down for 10-15 minutes. Note: Power-down order is not critical.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AXn; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AXn may continue to flash amber as it may still require some additional configuration changes (like enabling wireless security) before it will go solid green.
Power-up your computers.
Wireless clients, connected to the AXn, should now be able to access the Internet. Please post back your results.

  • HT1515 How can I use Airport Express (1st generation) with OS X Mavricks?

    How can I use Airport Express (1st Generation) with OS X Mavericks?

    1st Generation AirPort Express will work fine with Mavericks.
    Are you sure that you have a 1st Gen Express?
    Check the model number on the side of the Express. 1st Gen is A1264.
    If you see A1084 or A1088, these are much older versions of the Express that were sold long before Apple began to use the Generation naming with "n" wireless devices in 2007.
    Mavericks will not support the A1084 or A1088. Use another Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC if you need to administer the older Express.

  • How can I use AirPort Express when traveling?

    How can I use AirPort Express when traveling?

    How can I use AirPort Express when traveling?
    Connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet port in your room.....to be able to create your own private wireless network in your room for multiple devices.
    You will still have to pay the hotel Internet charge for one device, if the hotel charges for Internet access.
    If the hotel only provides wireless service, then a single AirPort Express will not help you.
    However, if you have two AirPort Express devices, then you can use one to "join" the hotel wireless network, then connect the second Express to the first using an Ethernet cable and create your own wireless network for multiple devices in your room.

  • How can I use airport express in India on my ipad

    I have iPad that I want to use in India with airport express. Please help how to.

    Connect the Airport Express via Ethernet cable to the modem you got from your Internet provider. Assuming your PC is using wired Internet now download the Airport utility. Then follow the quick setup guide that came with the AEX.

  • Can I use airport express to create a local wireless network that my apple tv can connect to for AirPlay/mirroring in student halls/dorm without Internet connection

    Hi I was wondering :
    Would I be able to make a local wireless network using airport express that my apple tv can connect to which in turn is connected to a projector with hdmi in so that I can mirror/AirPlay from iPhone pad and mac

    will the Airport Express allow you to log onto a hotel wireless network, and broadcast a secure wireless network in your room for your wireless devices, like the Ipad, Iphone, etc.?
    The bottom line with a single AirPort Express is no.
    The AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless network when the network is being provided by another Apple router.
    As you might imagine, it is extremely unlikely that that the hotel network....which no doubt uses professional wireless access points provided by a manufacturer of commercial systems.....would be compatible with an AirPort Express.
    In many years of travel domestically and internationally, I cannot recall a time when a single AirPort Express would "extend" the signal provided by a hotel's wireless network.
    However, if you had two AirPort Express devices handy, you might be able to configure one to "join" the hotel network and provide an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort Express, which would be configured to "create" your own "private"  wireless network.

  • How can I use Airport Express to create a standalone Wi-Fi network without Internet Access so I can browse web pages on the local network? I will be using MAMP as my server (Apache)

    I would like to create my own Wi-Fi standalone network at an upcoming tradeshow where there will be NO internet access.
    Currently, I run and develop sites on my iMac use MAMP to manage my sites locally. Using MAMP, I run my sites as though they are on the internet although everything is local.
    I purchased an Airport Express hoping I could create a standalone network so that the iMac would broadcast its website to whatever device connects to it such as my iPhone, iPad and MacBookPro.
    However, after setting up the network successfully (I have a green light on the Airport Express, and there is NO internet going through it), I  am  not able to go any further by logging into the iMac's websites from the other machines. Form my MacBookPro Finder, I can look at files and folders using afp://10.0.1.2, from the Find/Go/Connect to Server utility, but I can't browse the website that is running on the iMac via the Safari browser.
    Can anyone help me configure my MacBookPro (or iPad, or iPhone) to run the website on the iMac when they are all on the same network?
    Thanks so much!!

    1) connecting the TC using a ethernet cable from one of the two modem's LAN ports to the TC's WAN port
    2) create a new Wi-Fi network using the TC ?
    Does someone already create a new Wi-Fi network using its TC connected by Ethernet on a modem/router device ? How do you set up the DHCP (and NAT) ? Which range did you use ?
    This is easy enough to do..
    Plug the TC directly into a computer.. without other connections to do the setup.
    Using the newly installed 5.6 utility.
    Bridge the TC.
    Create a wireless network.
    This is an older screen shot and I would set security to WPA2 Personal only not WPA/WPA2 Personal as shown above.
    I do recommend you use wireless names that are short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Update the TC..
    Now plug it into the modem router.. it will be a part of the network without doing NAT and DHCP itself.. which you do not want.. that leads to double NAT issues.. but it is a WAP that provides access to devices on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands directly to the main router.

  • How can I use Airport Express (2004 version) ethernet port?

    I am using a Time Capsule to access the internet. Now I would like to use my old AE to "root" that internet connection via the ethernet port to my WD HD TV Live (or Notebook w/o wifi).
    I know that it is possible with the newer airport express version coz a friend has it setup. But I could not make it work with the AE 2004.
    The latest available firmware is 6.5.3 while on the AE 2008 it is 7.5.2
    Any suggestions?

    dirk2gently, welcome to the discussion area!
    Unfortunately, your older version of the AirPort Express does not have the capability to "extend a wireless network", so you'll need to use the 802.11n version of the AirPort Express to do what you want to do.

  • Can I use Airport Express to make my G3 wireless?

    I have an old iMac G3 400MHz running Panther. I don't expect it to be around for long and so it's not worth installing an Airport card, but I still want to connect it to my wifi router.
    A friend has lent me an Airport Express, and says it's possible to receive a wifi signal if I connect it to the G3 using an ethernet cable. In effect, the AE will be acting as the iMac's wireless dongle.
    Clearly, if it's got any chance of working then I have to be able to enter the router's ID and password in the AE. I've installed the software that came with it, but it won't let me open the Airport setup program. It just says I've got no Airport card and then gives me only a Quit option.
    Any help appreciated. Happy Christmas to all Mac users!

    Welcome to the discussions, Nick!
    If you have a router there broadcasting a wireless network, it may be possible for the AirPort Express to "Join" that network.
    Using your Mac with Snow Leopard installed, temporarily connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express and power up the Express.
    Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Do you see an option to "Allow ethernet client" under the Wireless Network Name?
    If so, you should be able to set this up as you want and see below for setup. If not, it's probably not going to work and a lot more info will be needed.
    Wireless Mode would be "Join a wireless network"
    Wireless Network Name would be the name of your wireless network there
    Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow Ethernet Clients"
    Wireless Security is the exact setting that your wireless network is now using
    Wireless Password is the exact setting that your wireless network is now using.
    Update to save settings.
    Move the Express to the desired location and connect an ethernet cable from it to your old iMac and power things up.
    Any luck?

  • I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers.  How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad?  Can I use AirPort Express?

    I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers.  How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad?  Can I use AirPort Express?

    Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
    In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.

  • Can I use AirPort Express as booster/extender to LinkSys router signal?

    I have LinkSys N router (which I got free, else would've bought AirPort), its signal isn't strong enough in office room.  Can I use AirPort Express as a booster/extender?  Some sources say Express can only talk to another Express, others say it can communicate with the LinkSys.  Which is it?  I don't want to spend the money for two Expresses unless I have no choice (very limited budget nowadays).
    I've been hassling with this for over a month, and I'm extremely frustrated. 
    Thanks to anybody who can help me with this.

    Most likely no. That is because most non-Apple router's implementation of WDS is not compatible ... and this is true the other way around. It is true that some early Linksys models, mainly the WRT-54 series were compatible, but I have not seen anything since then that is.

    Hello chawich
    All you should need is Airport Utility that is located in the Utilities folder that sits in the Application folder. If you have an iOS device, you can also set it up with that device with Airport Utility or in Wi-Fi section in Settings.

  • I have a MacPro 2008 workstation without Airport or Airport Extreme CArd isntalled. Can I use Airport Express to connect (wireless) to my wireless network? If so, can I then connect my Airport Extreme to my MAcPro by a ethernetcable ?

    I have a MacPro 2008 workstation. It has no Airport/Airport card so I have to use an ethernetcable to connect to my modem. As the MAcpro
    is in my office in the attic and the wireless modem is in the basement I have a problem. I wonder if it is possible to use Airport Express to connect to the wireless network? Itshould be like this: in my office I connect the MacPro with AE through an ethernet cable. If I can then get AE to connect (wireless...) to my wireless network I should be ablle to connect my MacPro to internet/wireless network. Is this possible???? Any suggestions are very much appriciated. Thank you.

    Apple calls this configuration a ProxySTA.
    To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility.

  • How can I use my ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections.    The apple store clerk told me that I can't use airport express unless I also have a computer with me in the hotel.

    How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections?  The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.

    The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it.  Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.)  It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
    You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad.  If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350.  Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others.

  • How can I use Airport Extreme just as a file server - no wifi

    I'm setting up a new Apple environment for an invalid music buff.  Here are the components, all newly purchased.
    MacBook Pro
    Airport Extreme
    Airport Express
    I was handed a G-Drive with a large iTunes file collection on it.
    The user will have Comcast as his network provider and he already has a Comcast wireless router, so none of the Apple devices will need to be used as a wireless router or base station (assuming I understand what Apple means by a "base station").
    The Airport Express has the primary function of acting as an AirPlay device, feeding an analog music signal to the user's hi-end audio system (Denon integrated amplifier, Thiel Loudspeakers).
    The Airport Extreme has the sole function of acting as a network file share for the G-Drive.
    The MacBook Pro will operate iTunes and will get its music files from the network shared G-Drive and send it to the AirPlay device, which will feed the music signal to the hi-end audio system.
    I am able to get the Airport Express to simply act as a wireless client on the Comcast provided wireless network.  The MacBook Pro is also on the network and can see the Airport Express as an AirPlay device and send music to the audio system.
    What I'm having problems with is getting the Airport Extreme to simply act as a file server on this LAN.  It can either work in bridged mode and just be a wireless network client, or I can readily run an ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to the Airport Express, or even to the Comcast router. 
    I tried to connect the MacBook Pro to the Airport Extreme with an ethernet cable and get it to "join an existing network", but it refused to recognize the Comcast provided network.  All it could see were some networks in homes nearby.
    I was hoping that if I just ran a network cable between the Airport Extreme and the Airport Express, that it would just get a network address over DHCP through the Airport Express.  Nope.
    So I'm stuck.   How do I get the Airport Express to simply act as a file server for the G-Drive on my LAN?

    +Can I use the Airport Extreme base station as a wired router, with wireless disabled for the time being?+
    Sure, but it will probably take just as much time...a few minutes....to turn the wireless off than simply change the name on the default wireless network to your personal choice.
    The AirPort Extreme is pre-configured to create a wireless network when it is hooked up to a modem. All you need do is assign a name to this network and establish a password. If you don't want to do this, you can turn the wireless off and use the device as a wired only router.
    AirPort Utility, the application that is used to setup the AirPort Extreme has a simple guided step by step process for you to configure the device the way you want.

  • How do I use airport express to extend my wireless network?

    How vcan I extend the range of my wireless network using Airport Express?

    It appears that you may have "join a wireless network" and "extend a wireless network" mixed up a bit.
    The Express can "join" virtually any wireless network produced by any manufacturer's router if it is provided with the correct settings:
    name of the wireless network
    the correct wireless security settings
    and correct password.
    "Join" is normally used for AirTunes or to connect a USB printer to the Express for remote printing.
    But, the Express does not provide any additional wirless coverage when it "joins" another wireless network.
    Apple's "Extend a wireless network" feature, which was introduced about 5 years ago, allows the Express to connect to another Apple "n" wireless router and then "repeat" or "extend" the wireless signal....providing more wireless coverage in the area where the Express is located.
    This is a proprietary setting. Apple says it will not work with devices from other manufacturers. To our knowledge, this is correct.
    Prior to 2007, Apple used a setting called WDS to allow the Express to be configured to provide more wireless coverage. Attempts were made by a number of manufacturers to standardize the WDS settings, but things were never finalized.
    The result is that Apple's older "b/g" routers were sometimes compatible with WDS settings from another manufacturer. There were a handful of products....5 or 6, as I recall....that were said to work. Some did, some didn't. Linksys had a couple of models, Netgear had one, SMC another, etc.  Extremely limited.
    Since WDS was never adopted as an industry standard, manufacturers developed their own WDS settings. Compatibility was extemely limited and unreliable. That continues to this day with WDS.
    Bottom line....It is always best to stick with the same manufacturer throughout your network as far as routing is concerned.
    If you have an newer "n" Apple router like an AirPort Extreme, the Express can extend the wireless as can along Extreme. If your Extreme is dual band, and you want to extend both bands, then you need another Extreme.
    Another responder suggested to someone that they could connect the AirPort Express to a router via Ethernet.  What exactly would that achieve?
    That is a completely different subject since this discussion is about extending a wireless network using wireless only.
