HT1731 Airport Express to extend on PC version of the airport utility

I wanted to use Airport Express to extend my network from my existing Airport Extreme however I do not see the option to "extend" the network in the PC version of the airport utility, any ideas on if i can still do this?

If this airport extreme is the old space-ship/saucer type, then there will be no way to extend it, just a WDS option to use instead.
What kind of express are you using too btw?

Does Oracle 11g Express Edition 11.2.0.0 support the impdp utility ?

Hi,
We are trying to import an Oracle dump within a Express Edition, without success. We got the error message: ORA-39213: Metadata processing is not available.
A) Source data base: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0
B) Target data base: Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0
Searching for solution led us to following forum entries:
1. http://kmpdba.wordpress.com/2012/05/02/ora-39213-metadata-processing-is-not-available/ Cause: DBMS_METADATA_UTIL package does not successfully ran. Solution: to install (among others) SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/javavm/install/initjvm.sql
2. But: there is no @$ORACLE_HOME/javavm/install/initjvm.sql scrript -> http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/enterprise-edition/comparisons/index.html -> Oracle 11g EX does not support java
Questions:
a) Does support Oracle 11g EX the impdp utility at all ?
b) How would it be possible to import the above mentioned dump from (A) into (B) ?
Thanks in advance,

Sounds like the messing xsl files issue here: Upgrade from XE10 to XE11
Try
execute sys.dbms_metadata_util.load_stylesheets;and see if you get the missing xsl files error.
The XSL files are not distributed with Oracle 11g XE, but seems to be pre-loaded in the default database created by the installer. If you try to create your own database it wont have the stylesheets loaded and you'll need the xsl files to load them up.
The quick solution will be to copy the 180 xsl files from an Oracle 11.2.0.2 Enterprise to your Oracle 11g installation ($ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/xml/xsl/) and load the stylesheets.

Older airport express not showing up in airport utility - want to extend network

I just bought a new Airport Extreme so that I could use my older Airport Express to extend my wireless network. The Extreme is working fine. Set up was easy. Airport Utility isn't finding my express - no matter what I do - and I'm at a total loss. Please help me find it and then extend my network. Thanks!

If you decide to keep the new AirPort Extreme, you will need a newer "n" version of the AirPort Express if you want to try to extend the network using wireless only.
A "refurbished" Model A1264 would work, but it will only extend one band from your dual band AirPort Extreme.
A "new" Express, Model A1394 would be recommended since it will extend both bands.
You do have the option to use the old AirPort Express, but that would involve using a permanent wired Ethernet connection between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to predict wireless performance in advance when the signal must pass through numerous walls and or a ceiling. For that reason, it would be a good idea to understand the store's return policy in advance if you want to try a new or refurbished Express.

How can I make the 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port on my Airport Express work as a LAN-port? The AE is currently extending my network (generated by a Time Capsule)

Dear all.
I currently have a WIFI-network established by a Time Capsule. I want to use my Airport Express as WIFI-receiver for my Samsung TV. How do I pair them up so that the 10/100BASE-T ethernet port works as a LAN-port? I used to do it by setting it up as WDS but I understand this is not suitable for a "n" network.
Thx.

Under the wireless settings for the TIme Capsule, make sure that there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Then configure the AirPort Express to "Extend a wireless network". The Ethernet port on the Express is automatically enabled in this type of configuration and the AirPort Express will also provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located.
See Apple's instructions in the link below. The iilustration shown in the support document shows an AirPort Extreme as the extending device, but the setup for the AirPort Express would be exactly the same

Using Airport Express to extend my wireless network

I recently purchased a Time Capsule but found that I could not see the wireless signal from my bedroom. To solve this I purchased an Airport Express to extend the range. I plugged the AE into an outlet in my bed room and set it up to join my existing network. Everything looked fine from the point of view of the Airport Utility. Unfortunately my iPod Touch still can not see my wireless network from my bedroom. I new iPad can see it but the signal is very weak, even when I hold it right next to the AE. Is there a setting I missed?

Rick, welcome to the discussion area!
I plugged the AE into an outlet in my bed room and set it up to join my existing network.
You need to configure the AirPort Express to "Extend a wireless network". The AX does not provide any additional wireless coverage when it is set to "join".
First, you need to check a setting on your Time Capsule as follows:
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless tab (below the icons)
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update to save any changes
On the AirPort Express move it close to the Time Capsule for configuration:
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network" (Hold down the option key on your Mac if you do not see this choice appear when you click the selection box).
Wireless Network Name = Same name as your Time Capsule Network
Check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
Security = Same setting as your Time Capsule
Password = Same password as your Time Capsule
Confirm Password
Update to save settings
The AirPort Express can only "extend" what it "receives". Most users position it too far away from the main router and consequently, the Express extends a weak signal. Try a location that is about 1/2 to 2/3 the distance between the Time Capsule and the area that needs move coverage. Then experiment a bit to find the best signal.
Post back on your results.

The AirPort utility doesn't support my AirPort Express, now what?

The Airport untility set up my new AirPort Express just fine, however, when I try locate my older AirPort Express to extend my network, it says the AirPort Utility doesn't support the older AirPort Express. It's there in the WiFi drop down menu and, trying to confgure it from the existing utility menu bar is fruitless. What now?

Is this another example of Apple's policy of planned obsolesce?

Error -6753 when airport utility trying "to access wireless device"

I recently replaced a 3rd party router with Airport Extreme. Airport Express was connected via ethernet to the existing router; a HP C4600 printer was connected to the Express via cable. Since switching the router, I can still print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro laptop but can no longer print from the PC that is hard-wired to the Extreme. The Express is flashing amber. When I go into Airport Utility, it sometimes "finds" the Express and sometimes doesn't. When I try to configure the Express, I receive an error message -6753 (error in accessing the wireless device...check that network is valid). Bonjour for Windows also cannot find the printer. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting all cords and plugs without success. Suggestions?

... I set up the Express as "extend a network;" I entered the Apple ID of the Extreme on the WDS screen.
Ah. I am glad you told me that. As I understand your network, you want the Express to "create a wireless network", not "extend", "join", or "participate in a WDS". Create. The network it creates should have the *exact same network name and security* as the network you instructed your Extreme to create. Leave its radio channel on "automatic" though, since the Express and Extreme will need to use different wireless channels. "Automatic" will let them figure that out between themselves (though you should confirm they're really different after they've done so).
Under "internet" make sure "Connect Using" is set to "Ethernet". "Connection Sharing" must be set to *"off (bridge mode)"*.
The fact your Express is connected to the Extreme via Ethernet is a very good thing. In that configuration, your Express will get its IP address from your Extreme via Ethernet, and create its own wireless network. Your computers can wander from the Extreme's wireless range to the Express's without interruption.
A WDS accomplishes the same thing, but without a wired connection between the two base stations. In that case you would need both radio channels to be identical. Since they're connected via Ethernet, you don't need or want a WDS. It's a pain to set up and presents significant disadvantages over the wired connection that you have.
You can leave the Extreme's "allow this network to be extended" check box set, or not. It won't hurt anything but that's not what you need in this configuration.
I'm not using an Airport network at the time being, so there might be something I missed until I can verify these steps. Until then I hope this gets things going in the right direction.

Airport utility 6.1 change ip address for router

Hi there,
I want to change the IP address for the router from 192.... to 10.....? It doesn't seem possible with the new version of the aiport utility.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can change the IP address range that the AirPort Extreme provides as follows:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click directly on the AirPort Exteme icon
Click Edit in the next small window that appears
Click Network at the top of the next window
Click Network Options at the bottom of the window
Here, you can changet the iPv4 IP address range from 192.168.x.x to 10.0.x.x
Click Save and then click Update to restart the AirPort Extreme
IF....the Network Options button is grayed out, this indicates that the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode. In that type of setup, you have another modem/router or gateway "upstream" on your network. That is is the device that is providing the 192.168.x.x. IP addresses.
The AirPort Exteme simply passes through that network information to connected devices in Bridge Mode, since you only want one router on the network providing IP addresses.
You will need to check with the support folks for your modem/router or gateway if you want to modify the settings on that device.

AirPort Utility in Windows - cannot set 5GHz channel manually

I am trying to manually set my 5GHz channel to something other than automatic. I change it to
and click the update button. The router restarts and my changes do not stick. It now shows
The 2.4GHz channel can be modified but not the 5GHz. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

So are you saying that it does not work with v6 on an Apple product either?
That is the info I have at this point in time. I have totally avoided AC models.. I think they are poor cf the same chipset models available from Asus or Netgear that have real GUI setups with real functionality.
Is there functionality that is available in the Mac version but not in the Windows version?
The v5 utility in Mac and PC was the same functionality..
The v6 utility in Mac and never released for PC has far less functionality. Which is designed I guess to correspond to the new model Apple routers which also have less functionality. For instance there is no longer a log function you can use. Apple do not believe in functionality.. it is supposed to be as near to self setting as possible.. the ideal would be purely automatic and no airport utility. Apple are slowly working towards their nirvana.
Why has Apple neglected to update the Windows version? Looks like the Windows version 5.6.1 (Post Date: Jun 11, 2012) is a year older than the Mac version (Post Date: Jul 11, 2013).
Apple do not reveal info like this.. but my guess is they produced an iOS version so they figured if you don't have a Mac then surely you own an iphone or ipad.. if not you should buy one.

Help! Airport Utility not finding base station

Hi. I just bought a used Airport Extreme base station on ebay. It's the 4th generation model -- A1354, also known as MC340LL/A. The owner claimed it's in mint condition and working fine.
I got it today. It looks like it's in good shape and I plugged my Ethernet cable into it, and the base station's light turned green as it's supposed to.
I am using an IMac (circa late 2007) running Mavericks.
The problem I'm having is that Airport Utility is not finding the base station. I don't know what's going wrong and I don't know how to solve the problem. I've reset the base station and I've unplugged it and plugged it back in with no luck.
Last year, I used an older airport extreme base station, one of the saucer shaped ones, and it would show up when I ran Airport Utility (I had to use an older version of the Aiport Utility app). I decided to upgrade to a newer base station because the saucer-shaped one kept dropping its wifi network.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about why Aiport Utility is not noticing the base station. The manual that came with the base station didn't instruct on how to solve such a problem.
Thanks.
Mirsky

Okay, feel free to disregard. I reset the Airport Extreme a second time and that seemed to do the trick.

Unable to get Airport Express to extend Time Capsule via WDS

Hi all,
I have a Time Capsule that's a couple years old, and recently decided to try to extend its network given that we recently did a lot of re-arranging things in our home. I followed the instructions posted here for using version 5.5.2 of the Airport Utility but I'm not having any luck... I've triple-checked that the SSID, security settings, etc. are identical between the two devices. I set the Time Capsule as the main WDS device and entered the airport ID of the Airport Express into it, and set the Airport Express as the remote WDS device and put the airport ID of the Time Capsule there. As far as I can tell I've got all the settings correct.
What really confuses me is that I can get the two devices so that the Time Capsules status light is green but the Airport Extreme's status light is yellow. The Time Capsule reports that WDS is functioning properly but the Airport Extreme is unable to connect to the WDS network. I have the two devices only about 5 feet from each other so signal strength certainly shouldn't be an issue.
Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks,
-Bruce

I would not use WDS unless your AEX is so old that is all it supports. Much easier to configure the TC to allow the network to be extended under the Wireless tab. Then configure the AEX's Wireless Mode to Extend Existing Network from the dropdown menu.

How do I use Airport Express to extend my current network.

I am now using an Airport Extreme and want to use my old Airport Express to extend my network. How do I do this? Thanks!

Linc44, welcome to the discussions!
I am now using an Airport Extreme and want to use my old Airport Express to extend my network. How do I do this?
By "old AirPort Express", I take it that you have a "b/g" version of the device, which is model number A 1084. Is that correct?

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.

Airport Utility (version 6.0) not detecting airport express

I upgraded my version of Lion OSX to version 10.7.3. I have an airport extreme which range is extended by two airport express. Since moving to the new Lion OSX, Airport Utility (version 6.0) no longer detects my airport express so I can't extend my wireless network. I have tried to reset both airport express but to no avail. Both airport express keep flashing amber. Both are currently located within 2 meters of my MacBook Pro. Any ideas ? Many thanks.

Not exactly sure why 6.0 isn't seeing the Express units.
You can also try 5.6 Airport Utility for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
If that doesn't work either, then you might need to do a factory reset on the devices.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728
I assume you also updated the firmware in the Express and Extreme units...?

Use airport express to extend network from linksys wrt54g

Hello all, I'm having no luck here, and hope you can help me. I am running a MacBook Pro, 2.16 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 Gigs ram, OS X 10.6.8.I am at work, trying to use a newly purchased AirPort Express to extend the signal from the back office, which has a Linksys WRT54G router. I updated the router's firmware to 1.02.8, build 001, dated 8.5.09. I have tried numerous times to configure the AE using AirPort Utility, and always wind up with an error message, "An error occurred while updating the configuration. Make sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)" During the configuration process, I am asked what I want to do with AE, I have tried both "create a new wireless network," and "I want AE to join my current network," with no success. Any comments will be appreciated.

The Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GS (through version 4 only for both models) were said to be compatible with Apple's WDS settings.
Perhaps this article may offer some clues, but it is doubtful that you will be able to make this work with the particular version of Linksys router that you have.
