How do you "talk" to a second Airport Express?

I have an Airport Express with ethernet connection to a modem wirelessly supporting my iMac. I thought I could add a second Airport Express in another room, connect it to my stereo receiver and play my iTunes library. I connected the second Airport Express to my receiver audio and plugged it in, but can't get my existing wireless network to "see" it. Just get a continuous blinking yellow light.
How do I communicate with it to either configure it or enter a security password to connect it?
Thru my System Preferences/Network how do I differentiate one Airport Express from another? Do I go thru the process to setup a second wireless network? Not as simple as just plugging it in is it?

You have to slave the new AirPort Express off the old one. The easiest way to configure it would be to connect your Mac to it with an Ethernet cable, which will make it a lot easier for AirPort Utility to see it.
If both Express units are 802.11n-capable (model A1264), you should configure the first Express to "Allow this network to be extended" and the second to "Extend a wireless network". You should give each Express its own base station name to allow iTunes to distinguish between them.

  • How do you port forward on an airport express?

    So I am trying to port forward because of my minecraft server. I have made the server yet i am trying to port forward. I found my IPv4 and I put it in the DCHP reservations, I also added the MAC adress. Then I went to port settings and in every port I have put 25565, I went to server.properties and checked if that was the port and it was. Then in the Private ip I put the IPv4 in. I have done all steps but My friends arent able to join it. Did I miss a step in the process?

    Let's backtrack to your current network configuration. Is the AirPort Express the only router in your network? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem and not to another router upstream of it? Regardless, what is the make & model of that modem?
    Does your ISP provide you with a dynamic or static public IP address? Is that address reachable from the Internet or do they have you connected to their private network?
    Does the Minecraft server have a static or dynamic local IP address? Is it running a software firewall?

  • HT4587 How do you extend an airplay signal with a second airport express?

    I have a speaker system hooked up to an existing AirPort Express. I just bought another AirPort Express to extend that WiFi signal, but also wanted to extend the existing AirPlay signal as well. I set it up as a WiFi extender and it worked fine; however, it created a seperate option for AirPlay and won't "piggyback" the AirPlay signal off the original AirPort Express. Any help on how to resolve this would be appreicated. Thanks!

    I have a modem hooked up to an ethernet hub. From the hub I have an ethernet plugged into the first AirPort Express. In that AirPort Express under the Wireless tab the Network Mode is in Create a wireless network, and under the Network tab the Router Mode is on Off (Bridge Mode). Under the AirPlay tab the Enable AirPlay is checked
    The second AirPort Express is just plugged into an outlet with no ethernet hook ups. In that AirPort Express under the Wireless tab the Network Mode is in Extend a Wireless Network, and under the Network tab all the options are greyed out and unclickable. Under the AirPlay tab the Endable AirPay is unchecked. (I have tried checking that box and unchecking the box to see if either has an effect on AirPlay from the original AirPort Express, and either way it does not work). Checking the box just creates a seperate AirPlay channel.
    Let me know if you need any other info.

  • How do I add a second Airport Express for Airtunes only?

    I already have one Airport Express hooked up to my G5 for wireless internet. Works just fine. How, in simple english, do I add a second Airport Express to my downstairs stereo fot playing my iTunes music through.
    I have looked through the help sections, but it all comes across too complicated sounding. It can't be that hard.
    What do I do to set it up & NOT screw up my already working internet conection?
    I have the audio cable hooked up to my stereo/Airport Express downstairs & the Airport Express plugged in... "Yellow Light" lit on Express, what next?
    Thanks fellow Mac Fans!

    For the AX connected to the speakers:
    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
    Music tab
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    - iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    - Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • How to extend the range with a second Airport Express? Do I need a DSL cable?

    How to extend the range with a second Airport Express? Do I need a DSL cable?

    Thanks, now we need a bit more information, please, in order to provide you with the correct information that you need.
    I assume that you already have one AirPort Express.....either a model A1264 or A1392.....set up and operating OK, is that correct?
    If yes, you can extend the network either by using wireless or an Ethernet cable with a second AirPort Express.....either the A1264 or A1392 model. A wired connection is the way to go, if possible, since it provides better performance.  But, wireless might work OK for you if you want to try that.
    Let us know "how" you want to extend......wireless or wired?

  • While trying to connect / configurate a second airport express it has suddenly can´t be found by the computer/ airport express manager. Any suggestions to how I can "find" it again?

    I have tried to connect a second airport express to my Mac. But the configuration was interrupted and now I can´t find the second airport on the Airport Express manager display. Although I find it on network/ system settings. I appriciate any suggestions!

    Hold in the reset button on the AirPort Express for 7-8 seconds, then release and allow 40-45 seconds for a restart to a slow, blinking amber light. Then reconfigure the device again.
    You can also temporarily connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the Express to establish a direct connection for the setup, rather than using wireless. Once you have the Express configured, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable.

  • Can I use a second Airport Express unit to printe wirelessly?

    I have an Airport Express unit connected to my amplifier and my modem in order to listen to music wirelessly.  I would like to use my Cannon ip4300 printer the same way.  Can I use a second Airport Express unit to connect the printer to my modem?  If so, how is it done?  I am concerned about a conflict between the two Airport Express units.  Thank you.

    I do just this with a ip4200 printer - you "extend" the Airport network with the second Airport then plug the printer into the USB port, (you could plug it into the USB port of the first Airport as well)
    In the Airport utility (use 5.6 or 5.6.1) select the Printers tab and it should be there.

  • Can't configurate my second Airport Express

    Hi, I just spent two hours in vain to set up my second Airport Express.
    I get Internet from my neighbors via WLAN.
    I managed to configurate my first Airport Express (living-room) as a client 'connect with wireless network'. I only use it to stream music to my music center.
    I bought a second Airport Express to do the same in the kitchen. The idea is that when I play music with itunes the music will play in the kitchen and in the livingroom. It doesn't work. When I reset and start from the scratch I have four options:
    A Create new network
    B Join an existing network
    C Replace a unit
    D Reset old settings
    A works but doesn't solve the problem since it won't join the network
    B doesn't work, first it is looking good, than there is written 'waiting for the station' for around 4 minutes and than there is an error message ' an unexpected error arrived, try again!'
    C is not what I am looking for
    D is not what I am looking for
    Any ideas what to do? Why can't I join the existing network?
    Please help

  • HT1218 connecting a second airport express on my system

    I got a second airport express as a gift (2007) and my airport extreme do not see it.
    My first one works fine. How should I connect it ? I tried using an ethernet cable, I tried Wi-fi. .....nothing.
    Thanks.

    "Hard reset" the Express and configure it using AirPort Utility.
    The following is an excerpt from Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
    Release the button, and the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule will hard reset.
    ... How should I connect it ?
    The answer depends on what you want it to do. The Express is very flexible.

  • Having trouble connecting a second airport express

    I currently have a third party router and have successfully connected one airport express and when I try to add another - I simply can't. The yellow light will continually flash and the computer won't recognize the added airport. I then restart the airport express by pressing the button under the brick and I am able to get through all of the steps until the very end while the airport is restarting when it says that it can't connect to the airport because it doesn't recognize it and then the yellow light starts to flash on and off again. Question. Can I put a second airport express in and what could I be doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

    Hello cwedner. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I currently have a third party router and have successfully connected one airport express and when I try to add another - I simply can't.
    How do you have your first AirPort Express Base Station (AX) configured to "connect" to the third party router: 1) By Ethernet, or 2) WIreless? If wireless, do you have the AX configured to "Join a wireless network?" ... and is this how you want the 2nd AX to be configured?

  • How do I set up iPad with airport express to stream music to stereo without internet connection?

    how do i set up iPad and airport express to stream music to stereo without using internet connection.

    Your 4th gen iPad does have the necessary software to connect to the AirPort Express but not to administer it. To do the later, you would need to install the AirPort Utility applet.
    You said that your iPad can "see" the AirPort's wireless network, but can't connect. What happens exactly when you attempt to do so? Do any of your other wireless devices have any trouble connecting to the Express? Did you configure the Express for a closed network ... that is, not to broadcast its Network Name?

  • How do I use a Mac Mini + Airport Express + Time Machine disk to backup another iMac

    How do I use a Mac Mini + Airport Express + Time Machine disk to backup another iMac?
    The question pretty much says it all.
    I have a Mac Mini with an attached 3TB Hard Drive used for Time Machine Backups.
    I have an Airport Extreme base station which services that machine plus several others.
    I would like to backup my new iMac and a MacBook Pro to the Mac Mini.
    What do I need to do on the mini to export that hard drive so that it can be used as a Time Machine target from the other systems?
    All systems are running 10.6.8.

    Well you would have to do backups over a network which is much slower and has highest chance of becoming corrupt. I think your best option would be to get an apple time capsule to act as a network and back if thats how you wanna do that
