How to set up an Airport Express on Windows 8 on laptop with no CD drive?

I recently purchased an Asus Ultrabook which has no CD drive. I have Airport Express set up on my old laptop, this was set up via an installation CD.
How do I move the Airport Express to my new laptop and install the software without the CD? I can't seem to find a software download for it.
I'm sure this is a basic question for those in the know, but I'm stumped!
Thanks :-)

  • How to set up the airport express with a linksys wireless-g broadband router

    I need to know if and how to set up an airport express to use to extend a home wi-fi network. I have AT&T service with a 2WIRE modem. I am using a Linksys wireless-G broadband router. I also have the new Macbook Air notebook. The airport express keeps giving me a blinking amber light even when the ethernet cable (from the modem) connected. Please let me know how to set up an extended wifi network using this system. Any help would be appreciated.

    If that is all that is done, the Express would not provide more wireless coverage.  Instead, it would duplicate the coverage provided by the Linksys and there would be two WiFi systems covering approximately the same area.  As per my above comment, one Express connects via Ethernet to the Linksys.  The second Express provides the extension.
    You must have misunderstood what I was saying.
    Linksys is providing a wireless network.
    The Express is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys router using a long Ethernet cable (or Ethernet powerline adapters)
    The Express is located on the other side of the house, for example.
    The Express is configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as the Linksys router
    The Express is configured in Bridge Mode
    This has worked quite well for me for years. Computers "switch" from one wireless access point to another smoothly and automatically while they move around the house.
    Although this is an "extended" network, it is technically known as a "roaming" network.
    This is what I was suggesting as a possible alternative without having to buy more hardware.

  • 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".

  • How to set up an AirPort Express using static IP with internet provider limitations?

    I am trying to set up an Airport Express to act as a wireless router (for multiple users to use) and I have some limitations with my ISP provider...my ISP provider restricts access to the internet for each device by only providing/issuing one IP address to one device (so they charge extra for multiple attached devices). So only one device can access internet via an IP address (they link the device's MAC address to that specific IP address, therefore limiting internet to only one device).
    My ISP provider has provided me with the following info:
    - IP address
    - Subnet Mask
    - Router Address/Gateway
    - DNS servers (4 were provided)
    - domain name
    I was trying to work around the ISP provider so I don't get charged using multiple devices so I was configuring my Airport Express with the info provided (ie-IP address, subnet mask, etc.) by configuring the IPv4 "manually" using a static IP. After plugging in this info using AirPort Utility, I was able to get access to the internet through wifi/Airport but only if the bridge is disconnected and only with one device at the time (trying to use another device to access the WIFI from the Airport Express gave me the error "can't access the internet because the IP address 128.xxx.xxx.xx" is already in use by another user).
    I tried different angles such as changing the router mode to 'DHCP and NAT' (which doesn't yield any access to the internet on any device; I get the amber light blinking on the Airport device). When attempting to change the DHCP range, I get an error saying "the range provided doesn't work" (not exact wording).
    The only other thing I haven't tried is to supply my ISP provider with the MAC address of the Airport Express device. Does anyone know if this would work and, if so, would I be able to use my Airport Express as a wireless router?
    Unfortunately, I can't switch ISP providers as this provider is the only one I can use in the area (so frustrating!!) so I have to try to work around the system. Please help!!
    Note: my Airport Express is the new model (I bought it a few weeks ago) and I have tried connecting to it using Airport Utility version 6.3.2 with Mac OS X 10.9.4 and OS X 10.9.2

    how do I set up my airport to make a connection with my Hp? I already have it set up for my mac laptop just not sure how to set it up so that theres also a connection with my Hp

    I set up my new HP Descjet 3054A . I had a problem becouse Apple give me CD as a driver. The thing was that CD wasn good for this printer becouse it was old software:) I had to go to Apple store so the specialist had to download me he wright driver. Becouse I didnt wannet to screw this up . When he downloaded driver I fired it up at house and thingworks perfect. The thing is when you download all the software from HP side . Then you have to connect your MAC to printer via USB . Fallow the instructions it should works. Worked for me. Good Luck!

  • How to set-up new Airport Express to extend range of Airport Extreme

    Purchased a new Airport Express to use it as a range extender on existing home network with an operating Airport Extreme base station. While I've read instructions, I'm unclear whether the Express needs to be connected by ethernet cable for its initial setup, or can I simply plug it and initialize it wirelessly onto the same household network? (I've tried the latter but without success).

    to edex67 and Bob Timmons:
    My objective is to extend the wireless range of the Airport Extreme base station wirelessly - so I do appreciate that the Airport Express would needsto be located haflway between the base station and the "dead zone" area.
    The suggestion of using a Powerline ethernet connection to the Airport Express has merit (especially as I have one available).
    I continue to use OSX 10.6.8 - does this affect my set-up in any way?
    My problem had been - and remains - how to configure the Airport Express in range extend mode - I did click these boxes on both the Extreme base station and the Express, however the Express still has flashing amber lights and error codes - one indicating no internet availability on the Airport Express.

  • HOW TO SET UP 2 AIRPORT EXPRESS AT HOTEL ROOM

    Yes by configuring the AE with Airport Utility you can set a network password.

  • Error message 651 when I try to join Airport Express via Windows 7 laptop

    Hi
    I have a Macbook Pro - no problems.
    My daughter has to use a Dell Laptop for work at home and not through choice.
    It has been working seemlessly joining our Airport Express network, but now refuses
    to connect automatically or when I click on connect ( Error message 651 )
    She really needs to get this work done at home, but we've found it impossible to
    get on the Internet. I've googled error 651 but get loads of Windows dead ends.
    Any help from an Apple expert might help solve this problem
    Thanks in advance of any replies.
    Regards

    Looks like I fixed it., thanks to another post I read.  I went into my Norton Security.  Under Settings. Chose Firewall. Program rules. changed the itunes setting from "auto" to "allow"  This also fixed my error (-3212) which would not allow me to connect to the iTunes store. 

  • 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

    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.

    Assuming your computer connects to the network you want to allow your girlfriend to access you will find the password you require in your keychain.

  • How do I set up an Airport Express as a hard wired wifi accesspoint?

    How do I set up an Airport Express as a hard wired wifi accesspoint?

    Please check out the following Apple Support article for configuring your routers for a "Roaming" network. In this case the AirPort Express would be connected back to your other wireless router by Ethernet and configured as a bridge. This would effectively make the Express perform as a Wireless Access Point.

    Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express please? I now work in a UN compound and my network is my own name, would prefer some anonymity so seeking to change the wifi network name that others might see.

    Hi mkl1961,
    Happy Holidays!  The article below will explain how to reset your Airport Express and change the network and base station names back to their defaults.  
    Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3728
    What default settings will my AirPort base station have after a hard or factory default reset?
    AirPort base stations are set to request an IP address by DHCP.
    AirPort base station passwords are "public."
    AirPort base station names revert to "base station xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
    AirPort base station network names are "Apple Network xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
    *A MAC (Media Access Control) address, also known as a "network ID," is a unique hardware identification number for a network port.  You can find the wireless and Ethernet network IDs on the printed label on the bottom or side of the device.
