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.

  • Will airport express work with 3G wirelessly without access to Y Fi connection ? (usinmg an iPad )

    I do not have wi Fi at work. Will airport express work with just the 3G on my Ipad2?

    In addition to Keith's comments, if you are asking if the iPad can configure an Apple router like the AirPort Express, the answer would be yes, if you download and install AirPort Utility from the App Store. It's free.
    I'm assuming that you have a newer version of the Express. Check the Model No on the side of the device. It needs to be A1264.

    if you do not have an Ethernet Internet connection to connect to the Ethernet port on the Express,  you can still use the Express to "Create a wireless network", but of course devices will not be able to connect to the Internet. The Express will complain, but you can ignore the error messages.
    If your printer is wireless, hopefully it is an AirPrint compatible printer. Then you would be able to print from the iPad.  Check this Apple Support document for information about compatible printers. There might be other applications that would allow this as well. Check Keith's post for that info.

    I'm still not clear on exactly what you are trying to do, and devices that you have, so if you can state your goals again....we can make sure that we are not missing something.

  • Will Airport Express work for this?

    Hi. I've got multiple Macs, but only my 2 laptops are wireless. I've currently got an Airport Express hooked up to my router which supplies the laptops with their connection. I would like to stream my iTunes - which resides on an external drive connected to my 17" FP iMac - to my stereo system in a different room.
    Now...if I pick up another Airport Express, will the fact that the iMac that the iTunes is set up is not wireless and instead basically physically connected to the main Epress cause a problem with it being recognised? I can see that one in Airport Utilitiy as it stands now. Or would I also have to get an Airport card for the iMac for it to see the second Express? I don't feel like paying $100 to find out that it won't work or this setup and all I've really done is extend the range of my network, which is not a problem.

    No it will not cause a problem.

    express works on my mac but not I pad or I phone which has been updated to ios7.  Ideas?

    You do know that the controls for AirPlay have been moved in iOS7, correct? 
    Is that what you are asking about here? If yes, you might want to read up a bit on the changes in iOS7.

  • Will Airport express work with tivo

    I would like to get program content up dates through my airport express. i get itunes to my stereo no problems. Can I get program content the same way. I only airport in my imac. thanks for help with this issue.
    gphillips

    In the back of the Tivo you have a USB port, which you can hook up either a USB wi-fi dongle or a USB to Ethernet convertor.
    Price wise, you are probably just as well off getting a USB wi-fi dongle, as the adapters aren't that cheap, and you have some flexibility of where you put your Tivo.
    Also if I remember correctly, you have to have the AE operating in WDS to enable the Ethernet port, i.e. you need a second AE or an Airport Extreme (Or one of a few other routers that run WDS).

    Hi,
    I don't really understand all of this wireless stuff but my little brother has asked for an airport express for Christmas!! He has an iBook and ADSL2+ broadband (?) in his flat. Will they be compatible??

    Is his ADSL Modem an ethernet modem?
    Does the iBook have an Airport Extreme card in it?

  • I have a VOIP with LINGO (Primus).  Will Airport Express work with the VOIP modem??

    I have been told how to set up with a regular LINKSYS wireless but can I use my VOIP modem with the AIRPORT EXPRESS?

    I have one base station connected to my modem and another base station (AX) downstairs which is used as an extender.  can i plug my voip phone into that one
    Yes, that sounds plausible. However, with an the extra overhead required to maintain an extended network, you may not have sufficient bandwidth for VoIP and voice quality may become an issue. Although it is worth trying out I would think.

  • Does airport express work with garage band in lion?

    Actually I know it can work and there are apps out there to make it work but I heard a rumor that Apple was going to allow functionaliy between the two in Lion. So my question is... 
    Will Airport Express work with Garage Band in Lion or do I have to buy third party software?

    I believe the HP 2840 can be connected either via Ethernet or USB. If connected to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by USB, only the basic printing functions will be shared out; the scanning, faxing, copying features are not supported.
    If the AX is configured so that its Ethernet port is enabled, the it may be possible to gain all of the printer's features by connecting it to the AX by Ethernet. In this case, the printer will use its own Print server to share out all of these features.

  • Will aiport express work with osx v 10.6.6

    Will airport express work with an old netcomm NB6 router modem using osx v 10.6? Or do I need to buy a better modem first?

    My airport express is quite old. Model A1088.
    This model was discontinued about 7-8 years ago,  so the product is at least that old, probably older than that. On average, the Express will last about 5 years.
    I can't seem to get my airport utility to find this. Airport utility is the latest version.
    Not sure what you mean by latest version of AirPort Utility. That would be a 6.x version, which does not support the older model of the Express that you have.
    Or, did you mean to say that you have the latest version of AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....which would be the correct version for the Mac running (10.6.6)?
    Please clarify.

  • Does Airport Express work with Airport Base Station (not Airport Extreme)?

    I'm needing to extend the range of my Airport base station. I purchased an Airport Extreme to funcion as a repeater, but it's not working. Will Airport Express work with a (white) Airport base station. If not, how can I extend the range besides moving the base station?

    Can someone actually tell me how to set-up the Airport Express (with my Airport) so that it will act like a repeater. Once again, this is an Airport and not an Airport Extreme.

  • Airport Express works, but MacBook doesn't when connected directly to Modem

    I have an interesting problem. I have Verizon DSL. Airport Express works, but Linksys and Netgear wifi routers don't work. Further more, if I disconnect the wifi router and directly connect a MacBook or a Windows notebook they don't work. These devices work if I enter a static IP address though. It is DHCP that doesn't work.
    I have been using Verizon DSL for several years, and most recently I was using a Netgear wifi router. A few days ago it lost internet connection. Thinking that the Netgear broke, I bought a new Linksys WRT54GL to replace it. But it didn't work either. I happened to have an Airport Express lying around, so I connected that and surprisingly it worked! Then I wrote down the IP address shown by Airport Utility and typed that IP into Netgear as a static IP address and it worked too. If I remove all wifi equipment and connect a Windows PC or a MacBook directly to the DSL modem then neither works. (Note: my DSL modem doesn't use PPPoE it uses DHCP.)
    So it seems that something changed with Verizon's DHCP such that only Airport Express can work. Contacting Verizon support was useless. What is so magical about Airport Express? I can't use Airport Express permanently because I have 3 wired computers to connect also, and Airport Express have ethernet ports. Airport Extreme does, so I am wondering if I should get one of those. Will the magic of Airport Express work in Extreme also?
    Does anyone know what is going on? How is Airport Express work with Verizon DHCP when nothing else can?

    Hello petilon. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Does anyone know what is going on? How is Airport Express work with Verizon DHCP when nothing else can?
    It sounds like Verizon is keying on the MAC address of the device connected to its modem ... so either they require that you register a MAC address with them or there is a problem with the modem in that it is retaining it even though you change the device connected.
    If you haven't already, be sure to perform a complete power recycle when changing out network equipment. The following should be done each time:
    o Power-down, the modem, router, and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Order is not critical. If the modem has a backup battery, it should be removed and replaced to make sure that any stored configuration information is erased.
    o Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    o Power-up the router; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    o Power-up the computer(s).

  • Airport express working on mac but not on pc

    My airport express works wonderfully on my Macbook Pro, but I would also like my PC to connect to the same network. I have tried everything that I have found online, and the PC will not recognize or "find" the airport network. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Ok, thanks for the additional info.
    I suggest trying the following:
    o Temporarily disable the WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless encryption, and then, check to see if any of the XP devices can now access the network/Internet?
    o If they can't then, while the encryption is still disabled, change the radio mode on the AX to a non-"n" one, like "802.11g only." You can access this mode, by holding down the <Option> (Mac) or <Control> (PC) key prior to selecting the mode within the AirPort Utility. Can they access the network/Internet now?

  • Very basic questions about how Airport Express works

    I'm using a non-Apple wireless router at home. I'd like to stream music from my iBook to my stereo. Will an Airport Express do that? Will it get confused that there's another access point? Can my iBook receive streaming radio via the non-Apple wireless router and send it to Airport Express?
    Alternatively: can I simply replace my non-Aple wireless router with an Airport Express? Will an Airport Express work as a wireless router? Will it to DHCP and NAT so that multiple computers can connect to the Internet through it?
    Thanks.

    johnbkim, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I'd like to stream music from my iBook to my stereo. Will an Airport Express do that?
    Yes
    Will it get confused that there's another access point?
    You would simply configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join your current wireless network.
    Can my iBook receive streaming radio via the non-Apple wireless router and send it to Airport Express?
    To stream non-iTunes items you will need to use Airfoil.
    Alternatively: can I simply replace my non-Aple wireless router with an Airport Express?
    Yes as long as you don't have any devices connected to that router via Ethernet.
    Will it to DHCP and NAT so that multiple computers can connect to the Internet through it?
    Yes it is a router.

  • Does The Airport Express Work with Any Router?

    Hi Forum,
    i have an old Linksys router G Wifi speeds, does the Airport Express work with this?

    The AirPort Express or other Apple routers will not wirelessly extend the signal from your Linksys router, if that is what you are asking here.
    If yes, use another Linksys product to insure compatibility between devices.

  • Airport express worked fine now shows only constant amber light ?

    airport express worked fine now shows only constant amber light ?

    A solid amber light indicates that the AirPort Express cannot get out of startup mode.....likely because of a power supply issue within the device.
    Try a Factory Default Reset as a last resort to see if that might help. To do this....
    Power off the AirPort Express and wait a minute or two
    Hold in the reset button on the Express first, and keep holding it for 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back into power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart
    At this point, if the Express is operating correctly, the amber light will be blinking slowly and you can reconfigure the Express again.
    If the amber light remains solid after a few reset attempts, the internal power supply on the Express is faulty and the device will need to be replaced.
