How to setup a new network with a new Airport Express

I need help setting up a brand new Airport Express and creating its own wireless network. I have a Motorola SB6141 cable modem that is connected to a Airport Extreme. The new Airport Express will be connected by an ethernet cable in another room.
To set it up where do I place the ethernet cable, in the WAN or Ethernet on the back of the AE?
Any other suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you for looking.

Once you have the AirPort Express powered up, click on the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear.
Just below that, click directly on AirPort Express and follow the prompts.

  • I have gifted an airport extreme to a neighbor and I assumed she would be able to connect and "create a new network" with a new password on her iPhone. That didn't happen. It keeps asking for my password. What next? Thanks!

    Have them perform a complete power recycle of their networking hardware. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Also, make sure that they perform a "factory default" reset on the AirPort (as described in the tip) to be sure to return the AirPort back to its "out-of-th-box" configuration.

  • Connecting hp 4620 to wireless network with an apple airport express and apple OS X 10.5

    Any help would be greatly.  This setup used to print wirelessly just fine until we switched internet providers and now the printer will not connect via the airport express router.  I've tried going into the airport utility, manual set-up, base station.....but there is no "add wireless clients" to choose like all the online help that I've read says should be there.  Thx in advance, Matt

    Hi Matt,
    Temporarly connect the printer to your mac with a USB cable.
    Go to Applicatons > Hewlett-Packard > Device Utilities and follow the HP Setup Assistant.
    Select wireless connection during the setup, you will be prompted to provide your wireless network details to reconfgure the printer on your new network.

  • Can I extend my wireless network with a WIRED Airport Express?

    So I've seen many, many threads (both here & elswhere on the web) that talk about extending a network wirelessly, but that's not my exact goal.
    I have a Linksys WRT54G and an older (non-N) Airport Express. My intention is this: come out of the cable modem and into the WRT54G's LAN port. (Typical.) Then I have wall jack-plates where ethernet runs are extended to various rooms in my home. The WRT54G is on one end of the house and at the far end the wireless signal is basically useless.
    I would like to come out of one of the WRT54G ports into the wall jack and then hard-wire into the Airport Express (at the far end of the house) for the sake of increasing the wireless signal there. I know that there are WDS issues with the Airport Express and NON-Apple networking gear. However, does hard-wiring the AE circumvent this?
    How should I configure the AE, if this is possible at all? As a relay, as a remote? Join the extisting network, etc.

    Interestingly the Linksys WRT-54G is one of the few non-Apple routers that are WDS-compatible with the earlier 802.11g AirPorts. There are a number of posts on the Internet (use the following search terms: Linksys AirPort WDS) where the authors described how they configured theirs to work.
    If; however, you don't want to "experiment," your suggestion to interconnect the two routers by Ethernet should work just fine. In this case, you would want to configure them both for a roaming network.

  • Extend my old wireless network with help of Airport Express

    Hello,
    I have a one year old Siemens SL2_141 router which I was using to create a WiFi Network and simultaneously use the Ethernet port to connect to my PC.
    Now recently I purchased a new Airport Express, and I am not able to extend my old Siemens WiFi Network with the help of this, it shows me "This network can't be extended". Can anyone help me if I am missing something here.
    Do I need to change and other settings on my old router.
    I have uploaded few snapshot of settings of my old router here: http://cl.ly/2v8I

    But many people here pointed out that, they can extend there Linksys router's WiFi network with Airport Express
    Sorry, but the only known compatible Linksys routers are the models WRT54G and WRT54GS. All of the other Linksys models are not compatible.
    You have a Siemens router. It is not on the list of known compatible devices, so as Tesserax points out, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to configure it to work with the AirPort Express.
    Lists of the the known compatible devices are on the Internet and have been posted many times on this forum. The list is as follows:
    3com OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router model 3crwdr100a-72 but ONLY with NO encryption
    Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
    BT Voyager 2091 or 2100
    Buffalo WGR-G54
    Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not latest versions v5)
    Netgear WGR614 v6
    Thompson 585v6 wireless router (40 bit WEP works but stronger encryption does not)

    When you are on that page, find the Search field at the top and type "infiniband" into it.

  • I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

    I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

    By default your new Time Capsule will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
    Most likely your iMacs will be connected to the wireless network created by the Virgin Media router. However, both should see the Apple Network under the AirPort icon's drop-down menu as another wireless network that they can connect to. Is this not the case?

  • How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

    Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
    With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
    This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

    Rock,
    I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
    Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
    1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
    2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
    3. Right-click it.  A long menu will pop up.
    4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option.  As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally).  Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
    A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
    Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!

  • How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

    How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
    My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer.  I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting.  Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
    I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc.  That's not the issue.  It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
    Thanks.

    Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone).  Very clear. 
    However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer.  How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?

  • How do I sync my iPad with a new iTunes library without erasing all the previously purchased apps & data on my iPad?

    I'm sure this is a common issue, and I've google-searched for solutions but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere. I really hope an expert here can help me out.
    I purchased an iPad last year and synced it with my iTunes library on my old PC laptop. Well, my PC laptop harddrive crashed last week and I cannot access anything on my laptop anymore. I did not make a back-up for my PC harddrive either. I know, next time I should make a back-up and I will. But that's irrelevant. The PC is gone now.
    I replaced my PC this week with a brand new Mac Book Pro. Excited about my new purchase, I quickly hooked up my iPad with the hopes of easily transferring and accessing my iPages, iNumbers, and other productivity iPad apps seamlessly to my new beautiful Mac Book Pro. But now I've run into the nightmarish dilemma of not being able to sync my beloved Ipad with my new MAC without getting the warning that basically says "your iPad is already synced with another iTunes Library. You may only sync to one iTunes Library at a time. You will lose all your data if you sync to this new computer."
    Can someone give me a straightfoward answer as to how I can sync my iPad with my new iTunes Library on my new Mac Book Pro without losing any of the apps that I previously purchased? I want to be able to access the apps I downloaded on my iPad on my Mac Book Pro.
    Thanks so much!!!!!!

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
