Can I hardwire  the apple tv box from express and also have wi-fi in studio?
If you are asking if you can add a "new" AirPort Express, yes.
The Express has a WAN port to accept the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Extreme and it also has a single LAN port to provide an Ethernet connection to the Apple TV. You could add a simple 5-port Ethernet switch to the Express if you need more Ethernet connections.

  • 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.

  • HT1515 Just installed Airport Express on Mac 10.6.8  Can't see base station.  Hard Reset the Airport.  Rebooted machine.  How can I tell if this is a Mac problem or Airport Express Problem?

    I have a Mac 10.6.8.  Just installed Airport Express.  I can't see any base stations.  I did a hard reset on the Airport Express, turned off all devices,  turned them back on.   I see plenty of Airport networks in the neighborhood.  How can I tell if I have a Mac problem or an Airport Express problem?  Airport Express blinks Amber. 

    Obviously,  I'm still using ethernet to be able to reply to this.
    Alright, use the same ethernet cable to plug directly into the airport express. This will FORCE the airport utility to now see it regardless of weak signals & interference. You can set it up that way.
    BTW, what is the original intent on the express?

  • HT1515 Will Airport Express work in hotels in China? They require user name/password to connect. Has anyone used one there?

    I will be traveling in China with my iPad2 and want to use hotel wireless. It requires a sign-in with user name/password.  Can I use an Airport Express for this purpose? How do I set it up for that? I have an old Express (pre-2007); can I use it or do I need to upgrade to the new model?

    OK - I have never been to China but the posts here say that it can be done - the cable from the hotel should be connected to the WAN port of the Express - the Express should be in bridge mode and set to create a wireless network with a name and password of your choice - you can do this with a computer before you leave for China or with the iPad if you have previously downloaded the Airport Utility app - you would then connect to your network and attempt to bring up a web page such as Google - the hotel should then intervene and ask you for the login info that they have provided.

  • HT1515 I want to extend my existing wireless router upstairs to my new smart TV.  I have loaded the AirPort Express onto my desktop Mac.  In simple terms do I now just plug the AirPort into a socket halfway between the base WiFi and the Smart TV, or do I

    I want to extend my existing wireless router by using the AirPort Express for my Smart TV.  Can I just plug in the AirPort halfway between the router and the Smart TV and have no direct connection to a computer or the TV, or do I need to plug in next to the TV and somehow connect the AirPort to the TV (ethernet)?

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • HT1515 Can I use AirPort Express product to add a wi fi outlet to my ethernet Lan?

    Can I use an Airport Express to add a wif fi outlet to my etehrnet (wired) Lan ... I don't have wi fi!

    This should work if you configure the AirPort Express to create a wireless network....the same type of setup that you would use for example, if the Express was connecting to the Ethernet jack in a hotel room.
    However, should work does not mean to imply that it will work.
    Here, I am assuming that the "main" router on the Ethernet LAN network has been configured to allow another router to connect to the network.

  • HT1515 How can I use Airport Express (1st generation) with OS X Mavricks?

    How can I use Airport Express (1st Generation) with OS X Mavericks?

    1st Generation AirPort Express will work fine with Mavericks.
    Are you sure that you have a 1st Gen Express?
    Check the model number on the side of the Express. 1st Gen is A1264.
    If you see A1084 or A1088, these are much older versions of the Express that were sold long before Apple began to use the Generation naming with "n" wireless devices in 2007.
    Mavericks will not support the A1084 or A1088. Use another Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC if you need to administer the older Express.

  • HT1515 my airport express in not detected?

    my airport express in not detected by my airport utility, and i want to conected to the wi fi of an internet conection.

    In order for AirPort Utility to be able to detect your AirPort Express you need to either be connected to the AirPort Express via WiFi or by connecting an ethernet cable from your computer to the Express.

  • HT1515 Is there a monthly bill for airport express and extreme?

    I am thinking about buying a airport express but would ike to know if I will have to pay a monthly bill for it or not

    Well, in order to use the devices for internet access, you need an ISP (internet service provider) - either cable, DSL or whatever is available in your area.  That provider is going to charge a fee for internet access.  Other than that, no there is no inherent fee in using  the equipment (eg. as long as you do not need internet connectivity, and just wanted an in-home wireless connection between your own devices, you could use them entirely for free, other then the electricity used to power them).

  • HT1515 can i hook up a ethernet printer and a usb printer to the same airport express

    I want to hook up an ethernet printer and a usb printer to an airport express? Is this possible and how should I set up the airport express?

    I have an Airport Extreme, 5th generation, that is hooked to the internet and is the source of my home network. I am replacing an old AXs 801.11g with an 801.11n unit. The need to run a printer on the USB port is because it is an old HP 7400 all in one with a wireless g card. I want to set the network up for all wireless N and 5 Ghz for hopefully faster network speed. It is my understanding that if the network is set that way, the wireless g printer will not be recognized on the network. Since I currently am running a ethernet only Xerox Laser on the ethernet port, I would need to hook the HP using USB inorder to keep it on the network for scanning and such. Thanks to you and your information, I think I have the bases covered. If there is a best way to set up the AXs, or if I am missing something more, I thank you in advance and look forward to your assistance.
    Thanks

    Thanks jakeloveslucy.
    I tried to setup the network by using Airport Utility, the problem is Airport Utility can not find Airport Express while I can use Airport Express to stream music very well. Can you suggest to fix this.

  • HT1515 My internet 3rd party access point in in the basement and the speakers I want to stream music to wirelessly are upstairs. Does Airport Express need to be connected to my 3rd party router via ethernet cable or will it stream music wirelessly?

    Wirelessly
    Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process

  • HT1515 Does the airport express need to be connected to router  if you are using USB for printer?

    My thinking was I could connect airport express to printer by USB and it would work without connecting it using CAT5 to router. Am i wrong??

    This should work fine if the Express is connecting to a wireless network provided by another Apple router.  Is that the case here?

  • HT1515 why does my airport express keep going offline?

    i use airport for air play but it keeps going into flashing amber light about every week. why?

    I found on some non-Apple tech sites some interesting info. One guy was having the same exact issues and wrote a script to see what was going on between the Airport base station and the Airport Expresses. It appears that the two devices were having security verification issues and that is why the Airport Expresses get getting knocked offline.   In other words, when they talk with each other they fail the security verification and the Airport Expresses go haywire.
    So the solution is to turn off the security on both the Airport base station and the Airport Expresses through the Airport Utility. Then, on the Airport base station you check the option to create a closed network.  In other words, your wi-fi network is now unprotected but it is not broadcasting to anyone that it is there. From then on, you will have to choose "other" on your laptops/iPads/iPhones/etc and type in your wi-fi network's name rather than just choosing your wi-fi network from a list of options.
    I did this a few weeks back and I have had zero issues since the very moment I did the above steps. The network is 100% reliable and faster. No more rebooting. Is it a tad bit unprotected?  Yes, but no one knows the network is there. If someone is smart enough to be looking for non-broadcasting wi-fi networks and finding yours, then they are sophisticated enough to defeat your normal security protocols anyway. Maybe if Apple ever decides to fix this problem, which appears they might not be interested in doing, then you could go back to normal security protocols. But until then, this works wonderfully. Give it a try and see.
