HT1515 Can I use my airport express to connect a printer AND to extend my wifi network at the same time? Or one feature excludes the other? Thanks...

It is an Airport Express first gen.

Yes, the AirPort Express do all that you ask.....providing that it will be extending the network from another Apple router.

  • Can i use an airport express as an ethernet print server?

    here's my situation: i have a belkin wireless g router connected to my cable modem and my G4 desktop connected to the belkin router. i need to access an epson 3000 printer with only an ethernet port in another room in the house. i was told my the tech guy in the local apple store that i could use an airport express to do this but for the life of me i can't make it happen using either airport setup assistant or airport admin utility. so is it possible? and if not, what would you suggest i do so i can access the printer?
    thanks.

    Can I use an Airport Express as a wired client to an Airport Extreme?
    Sure, follow the instructions in this Apple Support document and simply substitute the AirPort Express where you see a second AirPort Extreme:

  • Can I use an airport express to add airplay to (and extend the range of) a network with a netgear N750 Router?

    I have a Netgear N750 router. Can I buy an airport express and configure it to extend the range of my current network and allow me to use AirPlay from anywhere on that SSID?

    You can configure the AirPort Express to "join" the wireless network that is being provided by the Netgear router for use with AirTunes.
    But, the Express will not be able to "extend" the range of your wireless network.
    The "extend a wireless network" feature only works if you have an Apple router as your main device. This feature is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

  • 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.

  • Can i use an airport express as both a bridge and for airtunes?

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station (5th gen) and an Airport Express. The Airport Express is currently set up only for Airtunes. I would like to use it to extend my existing wifi signal to the backyard. Do I have to use the Airport Express EITHER for Airtunes OR as a bridge, or can I do both simultaneously?

    The AirPort Express can be configured for the following uses simultaneously:  extend a wireless network, AirTunes, and printing. Here I am assuming that you will be using a wireless connection between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
    Hopefully, your AirPort Express is the newer "n" wireless version, because this will provide the best network performance, and it is also easy to configure as well.
    As to whether you will have adequate signal strength in the back yard, that is difficult to predict in advance. A lot will depend on the distance that the Express is located from the AirPort Extreme, how many walls and obstructions are in the signal path, and how much of the backyard area that you intend to cover.

  • Can I use 1 computer with 2 different iTunes accounts and devices? We're afraid we're going to wipeout one library or the other if we do??

    My son got an iPhone and wanted his own iTunes account. Now his computer died, and he wants to connect to his iTunes account on my computer. When it asks to sync the computer, a message comes up and we're afraid either his or my library are going to be wiped out by trying to do this. Is it possible to use 1 computer with 2 different iTunes accounts and devices without wiping out one of the libraries? Thanks for any info.

    If the content was not originally purchased/synced to the device from your computer it will erase and replace the content from the device with that of the computer. If you have content that you want to backup you can transfer purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848 check this link out

  • Can I use an Airport Express Base Station to extend non-Apple router range?

    We have a Netgear 802.11n router in our house. I just bought a MacBook Pro and now am accessing out wifi from the other end of the house along with my iPod Touch 4g. Both seem to show at best about half strength signal strength. House is small and nearly all devices on same floor.
    Can I use the Apple Airport Express Base Station as a bridge to extend our wifi network giving me stronger signal for my Apple devices or will it only work with Apple routers? Netgear and others like Hawking make wifi range extenders and those are still under consideration.

    It would be extremely unlikely that an AirPort Express would "extend" the wireless network produced by the Netgear router using wireless only. Apple's "extend" feature appears to be proprietary among Apple "n" routers. As far as we know, it does not work with any other manufacturer's products for the purpose of wireless only extension.
    If you are planning to connect the AirPort Express to the Netgear using an ethernet connection, then it could be configured to extend that way.

  • Can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

    can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

    Yes, if the AirPort Express is set up to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name as the other router and the same wireless network password as the other router.

  • Can I use an Airport Express to extend a network using a Bwrg500 router?

    Can I use my Airport Express to extend my wireless network while using a Bountiful BWRG500 wireless router? The Bountiful wireless router has the WDS abilities.
    http://www.bountifulwifi.com/Products/BountifulRouter500G/Overview.aspx
    Thank you for looking.

    It is in fact possible to extend your network using WDS. I say this under the assumption that your statement regarding the WDS capabilities of the Bwrg router is correct. However, keep in mind that you cannot use a WPA or WPA2 password with a WDS extended network. You must either use no encryption or use WEP. Unfortunately some routers require WEP passwords that use either 10 or 26 digits ONLY while the express uses a 13 digit password.
    This can be a troubling problem considering that most people need a wifi password to ensure safe and secure browsing.

  • 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 I use my airport express to establish wifi with Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS cable modem?

    Can I use my airport express to establish wifi connection with a Motorola SN6120 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem?

    Yes, the AEx goes into router mode.. plug in via ethernet to the modem port.. you then need to power cycle the cable modem.. it might need to be off for 20min or more before it will lose the previous connection and start afresh with the Express.
