How can I use two Airport Express N's together

I have just purchased the new airport express n and I have the one that I am currently using which is also an n.
How can I use both at the same time as part of the same network?

If your goal is to extend the wireless range of one AirPort with another, check out this Apple Support article.

How can I use an Airport Express to join my wireless network and provide an internet signal to my Power Mac g5 via an ethernet cable?

I have a power mac g5 that does not have a wireless card, and connects to the internet via ethernet cable.
I want to know how to set up an airport express so that it joins my wireless home network and provides the G5 with an internet signal.
This via an ethernet cable that is plugged into the airport express and then into the ethernet port on the g5.
Please advise as I have configured the airport express in every way possible, the green light is on and when I plug the ethernet cable into the G5 my network cofigurations shows nothing and says that the ethernet cable is not plugged in (It is).
I get an internet signal if the ethernet cable is plugged directly into my wireless router, so the ethernet port works.
Please assist. Thanks.

Two requirements that must be met to do what you want.......
1) An AirPort Express 802.11n must be used. Check the Model No on the label on the side of the Express. It needs to be A1264. Any other model number will not do what you want.
2) The Express must be configured to "Join a wireless network" and the option to enable Ethernet Clients must be checked.
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
The box to "Allow Ethernet Clients" must be checked
Please check to verify that your AirPort Express meets both requirements

HT1515 Can I use two Airport Express, one being the connection to my Internet Provider and the second one, being an extension to my wifi?

I would like to know if with them I could use one Airport Express as the connection point to my ISP and the second one, just to extend the wifi range. Anyone knows about this ?

Yes you can.
But, remember that the AirPort Express is a router only. It does not have a modem on board, so you will need a modem to connect to your ISP.
Then, connect one Express to the modem and configure it to "create" a wireless network".
Configure the second Express to "extend" a wireless network.

How can I Connecticut two Airport Express with One Time Capsula?

Only by Wifi or by LAN in a row?

What are you trying to accomplish with the AirPort Express devices?
Where will the Express devices be located in relation to the Time Capsule?
If you are planning to use the Express devices to "extend" the wireless range of your network, Ethernet LAN will always provide far better performance than trying to connect the Express devices using wireless only.
You have the option of connecting both AirPort Express devices directly back to two LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....or....connecting one Express back to the Time Capsule and then connecting the second Express to the first Express using Ethernet. This assumes that you have a "new" Express with both WAN and LAN ports.
If you choose wireless only, both Express devices will connect back directly to the Time Capsule, so both of them should be located where they can receive a strong signal from the Time Capsule wireless.
A "hybrid" approach can also work. Connect one Express to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable and then setup the second Express to connect to the first Express using wireless only.

HT4145 How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? I get a message saying it cannot be extended. Thank you. Arup

How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

This is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
In the meantime..
Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
ie
You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible.

How can I get the Airport Express to handle all the PPPoE stuff?

Hi, I’m visiting my family in China, and now trying to help my dad, with his Airport Express and how to set up a PPPoE connection.
We have currently set up the Airport Express in bridge mode (not distributing IP adresses and selecting DHCP under the Internet tab in admin utility). The Airport settings on our two computers is set up to connect using PPPoE using the given login name and password. (ps! we can not see the Base station in Airport Admin Utility when using these settings, we would have to select a new location from the Apple menu to see it and make condigurations.)
What we want is to do, is to have the Airport Express connect to the ISP using a PPPoE connection and not through the computer.
I know there is a 'Connect using PPPoE' option in Airport admin util, letting me input account name and password. If I select this setting instead of DHCP, enable distribution of IP addresses and configure my Airport card to NOT connect using PPPoE, I will see my base station in the Airport admin util with the IP address of 10.0.1.1 (or similar) and my computer will have x.x.x.2. Next to the Airport icon in the menubar, a scrolling message will say 'Looking for PPPoE host' without anything happen. I am sure my account name and password is correct as they've both worked when using this computer to connect to PPPoE (like now)
How can I get the Airport Express to handle all the PPPoE stuff without using bridge mode?
Ps! Both me and my dad have iPhones whom we can’t seem to get to connect unless its been distributed an IP address cause there's as fars as I know, no options of inputing a PPPoE user name and password.

Any solutions to this? I'm in China also, in Beijing, trying to get my Airport Express to work with an ADSL modem.
Direct ethernet cable connection to my Macbook works fine.
When I configure the Airport Express with the ID and password that seems to be fine also – Airport Express shows a green light.
But I cannot figure out the settings to connect wirelessly from my Macbook to the Airport Express. I get a constantly scolling message: "Looking for PPPoEhost..."
thanks

Can I use the Airport Express to create a secure wireless network in a wireless-only hotel?

Can I use the Airport Express to log onto an unsecured hotel wireless network, without an ethernet cable, to create a secure wireless network for my MacbookAir, IPad, IPhone, etc.? If so, how is that done?

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.

A question. Do I plug the TC into the Comcast modeum Router or the iMac?
Both is good.. but at least one of your routers.. TC or express must be plugged into the router.. the imac can get internet connection by wireless.

Can I use two airports to use internet and listen to itunes in stereo? simultaneously?

Can I use two airports to use internet and listen to itunes in stereo? I just bought a second airport so I could listen to itunes & Pandora on my stereo. My problem is that I haven't been able to connect to both airports at once. I want to listen to the stereo (one airport) while using internet which is connected to a separate airport. Unfortunately, the stereo and ethernet cables are not close by which is why I bought the second airport.

You can run both simultaneously. You just need to reconfigure the base station that will be used for streaming as a wireless client.
I suggest that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration. By default, the AXn will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
After the reset has completed, plug the AXn into power, and then, verify from the iMac that this network shows up in the list of networks under the AirPort icon in the OS X menu bar.
Be sure to first switch the wireless network to the AirPort that will be used for streaming. Note: You will temporarily lose the Internet connection from your "main" AirPort. Then, run the AirPort Utility. The Utility should now find the streaming AXn. If not, use the Utility's "Configure Other" option under the File menu option in the Utility's menu bar. Enter 10.0.1.1 for the Address and "public" for the Password.
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <existing "main" AirPort's wireless network>
Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup >Music
Enable AirPlay (checked)
iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
Verify Password: (optional)
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

Can I use an airport express to extend a Cisco E4200 802.11n or 802.11g wireless network?

Can I use an Airport Express to extend a Cisco E4200 802.11n or 802.11g wireless network? I'd like to improve access in a dead spot with an airport express. I know I can connect this wayt for airplay, but how about extending the signal?
Thx! ACB

Apple's "extend a wireless network" function appears to be a proprietary feature that works only with other Apple AirPort routers. As far as we know, this feature is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.
It would be extremely unlikely that the Express could do what you want, but some things are never known until you try.

Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an AP and a DHCP server at the same time?

Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an Access Point and a DHCP server at the same time?
I would like to use it as a DHCP server and AP at the same time in my LAN (no internet, just local machines through a few switches). I was lead to belive this could be the case from a few networking friends that haven't been friendly enough to help me out setting it up.

I need it to act as a dLink/Cisco/Linksys/etc basic wifi router, in the fact that you can access it via wifi, and it will spit out DHCP addresses (192.168.1.xxx) to everything wired downstream of it.
I want to simultaniously provide a Wifi connection and a LAN connection at the same time

How Can i Use two Different Public IP Addresses no my DMZ with ASA Firewall.

How To Using Two Different Public IP Address on My DMZ with ASA 5520
Postado por jorge decimo decimo em 28/Jan/2013 5:51:28
Hi everyone out there.
can any one please help me regarding this situation that im looking for a solution
My old range of public ip address are finished, i mean (the 41.x.x.0 range)
So now i still need to have in my DMZ another two servers that will bring some new services.
Remember that those two server, will need to be accessable both from inside and from outside users (Internet users) as well.
So as i said, my old range of public ip address is finished and we asked the ISP to gives some additional public
ip address to address the need of the two new servers on DMZ. and the ISP gave us the range of 197.216.1.24/29
So my quation is, on reall time world (on the equipment) how can i Use two different public ip address on the same DMZ
on Cisco ASA 5520 v8??
How my configuration should look like?
I was told about implementing static nat with Sub Interfaces on both Router and ASA interface
Can someone please do give me a help with a practical config sample please. i can as well be reached at [email protected]
attached is my network diagram for a better understanding
I thank every body in advance

Hi,
So looking at your picture you have the original public IP address range configured on the OUTSIDE and its used for NAT for different servers behind the ASA firewall.
Now you have gotten a new public IP address range from the ISP and want to get it into use.
How do you want to use this IP address range? You want to configure the public IP addresses directly on the servers or NAT them at the ASA and have private IP addresses on the actual servers (like it seems to be for the current server)?
To get the routing working naturally the only thing needed between your Router and Firewall would be to have a static route for the new public network range pointing towards your ASA OUTSIDE IP address. The routing between your Router and the ISP core could either be handled with Static Routing or Dynamic Routing.
So you dont really need to change the interface configuration between the Router and ASA at all. You just need a Static route pointing the new public IP address towards the ASA outside IP address.
Now when the routing is handled between the ISP - ISP/Your Router - Your Firewall, you can then consider how to use those IP addresses.
Do you want to use the public IP addresses DIRECTLY on the HOSTS behind the firewall?This would require you to either configure a new physical interface with the new public IP address range OR create a new subinterface with the new public IP addresses range AND then configure the LAN devices correspondingly to the chosen method on the firewall
Do you want to use the public IP addresses DIRECLTY on the ASA OUTSIDE as NAT IP addresses?This would require for you to only start configuring Static NAT for the new servers between the inside/dmz and outside interface of the ASA. The format would be no different from the previous NAT configuration other than for the different IP addresses ofcourse
Of the above ways
The first way is good because the actual hosts will have the public IP addresses. Therefore you wont run into problems with DNS when the LAN users are trying to access the server.
The second way is the one requiring the least amount of configurations/changes on the ASA. In this case though you might run into problem with DNS (to which I refer above) as the server actually has a private IP address but the public DNS might reply to the LAN hosts with a public IP address and therefore connections from LAN could fail. This is because LAN users cant connect to the servers OUTSIDE NAT IP address (unless you NAT the server to public IP address towards LAN also)
Hopefully the above was helpfull. Naturally ask more specific questions and I'll answer them. Hopefully I didnt miss something. But please ask more
I'm currently at Cisco Live! 2013 London so in the "worst case" I might be able to answer on the weekend at earliest.
