  • Apple Airport Express and PC Laptops - Wireless Network Help

    Hello all,
    I have two Wi-Fi enabled laptops running Windows XP, an Apple Airport Express unit and a Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router.
    At present the DG-632 is running in modem mode and is connected to one laptop using the ethernet connection. The Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router has one ethernet connection and one USB connection.
    My understanding is that if i run one laptop off the USB connection on the Modem/Router and connect the the DG-632 to the ethernet connection then the laptop on USB has to be turned on for the second laptop to access the wireless network.
    Assuming the above is true (i am very likely wrong), it would be nice if both laptops were able to access the internet wirelessly via the Airpot Express Unit.
    However, being a complete novice at networking, i am little confused about how to do this?
    Any help, tutorials or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm new. I have a Dell Laptop XP and my wife has a
    dell desktop XP . I have DSL with a Linksys wireless
    router. After many hours on the phone I was able to
    get the ineternet set up for me and my wife.
    After all this I found that my Airport Express system
    couldn't connect to my stereo. It seems that the
    router wireless connection pays no attention to
    Airport. Apple says that they could set up another
    wireless system to work for Itunes by using my
    wireless card in the Laptop.
    But... I can't listen to the music and surf the net
    at the same time. A linksys person has tried to allow
    Linksys to accept and proper installation to the
    router. I tried is but it didn't work.

    Sort of new here and to the AE, but have a Dell Desktop and Tosbiba laptop both running XPHome SP2, and on dialup
    The Linksys router is hooked to the desktop with an ethernet cable. In the office.
    The AE is in the living room and works great for surfing and ITunes.
    The only way I could get my AE to work as an access point for dialup and stream ITunes from the laptop to the home theater was to use the setup found here.

    The only problem I had with the setup was do not use the $ when entering the password. And had to use a proxy server on the desktop for sharing the dialup. LOL no hope of any broadband here.
    Hope this is some help.

    I have a 3g hspa dongle.I want to know that my dongle can be used with Apple Airport Express utility.I want to connect my dongle into Apple Airport Express utility and share the internet with my ipad,ipod and iphone.I want to know how to do this?

  • My Apple Airport express loses connection

    We have a 3-4 months old Apple airport express. When it works, it works really well.
    We use it for streaming shows etc on the television via Apple tv and obviously to go on the internet.
    We have 1 iphone 5s and 1 iphone 6, 2 iPad Air, 1 MB Air and 1 MB pro Retina so all our devices are pretty much Apple.
    The express router is connected straight to the internet cable from the wall, so there is no router in between or anything. I can always connect with the router, but internet is not always pooring through. In other words, im always logged on the wifi, but it seems as something is often blocking the internet. It definitely has something to do with the router because I can be on the internet via the router on the macbook air while both iPads won't work.
    I often solve the problem by opening network preference - assist me - continue - log on the net again - type in my password for the computer and then it works again. But this is obviously not a sustainable solution. And this is also not an option on the iPads, so when it doesnt work on the iPads it just doenst work... :-/
    What is the issue?

    No one?

    Yes, it is one of the things AirPort Express was specifically designed for.

  • Erro 3256 using Apple Airport Express with Windows XP Pro SP2

    I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 and am trying to stream my music to the Livng room from my PC in my office. I use an Apple Airport Express. I am running iTunes 8.0.1.11 on the computer that isn't getting the signal through. Now please read the entire message before you decide it is the version of iTunes that I am using.
    It was getting through just fine on my Denon 3300 but since I switched to a Denon 3802 the signal is not geting through from my main computer. It works fine from the computer sittng adjacent to it.
    I also have music on a 2nd computer and am running iTunes 7.6.2.9 on it. The music gets to the living room stereo just fine using the same Apple Airport Express. The signal strength on the computer that is successful in streaming the music to the Apple Airport Express is "excellent". On the computer that is not successful, the signal strenth is "low". Now these computers are adjacent to each other and the signal has to go through the same wall and
    exactly the same distance over the same network.
    How can it be "excellent" on one and "low" on the other? Is it just a matter of signal strength? How do I fix that?
    I keep getting "unknown error occurred 3256"
    Help please. Do I have to do something to the network? or???
    Remember I am a Windows user, not a Mac user. I do not have a "Configure IPv6" setting anywhere in my preferences. That must be a Mac thing.

    Got the error message 3256 after downloaded latest itunes version 8.xx.
    After days of reading logs and bullentin boards, uninstalling, hard resets,firewalls experiments, etc, I found solution for me. Following firmware upgrade to airport express solved. When you go to Apple download center and search for airport revisions only the MAc version pops up. However they do have this one for windows. Give it a try. Good luck.

  • Connecting Apple TV, Smart TV (Panasonic) to Apple Airport Express

    Hi,
    I just want to make sure i have got most of this correct. I want to connect from my router (via hard wire ethernet) to my Apple Airport Express which will then serve to my stereo (change settings in airport utility and also extend my wireless) Cable goes into the WAN port. Then an ethernet cable from the Airport Express (LAN port) to my Apple TV which connects to the TV via HDMI.
    All i then need to do is find a way of connecting my smart TV via ethernet, how can i do this?
    For information the Apple TV, Express, Stereo and Panasonic TV are all about 4m away from the router and my iMAC. I can only run one ethernet cable to my entertainment collection under the edge of the carpet. I want to connect all my kit via ethernet hard wire as i know its faster and i have been having issues with the signal becoming interupted from other sources.
    My printer is already wireless but is located next to my iMAC so will prob hard wire this
    Thanks

    You will need a small switch. Or you will need to use wireless on the ATV or the TV .. as long as the express is close that will work fine. Especially if you connect to the 5ghz.
    But go into any computer store and buy a 5 port or 8 port 10/100 switch.. but you could also buy a faster one, gigabit which is more useful into the future.
    Wire it without using both ports in the express.. connect everything to the switch rather than express and that will be fine.. especially if the main router is gigabit.
    The switches will be $20 for the slower 100mbit and perhaps $50 for the gigabit..

  • So does the Apple Airport Express take the place of the "Charter" modem and router we already have in our house?

    We purchased the Apple Airport Express and in our home have 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, 1 iPod, 1 MacBook, and two *D* computers and a Brother printer along with Apple TV and a projector.
    1. How do we get them all to mirror the content of the various devices onto the TV or the projector?
    2. Can we now unplug the *Ch* equipment from our cable source and plug in the airport express?
    Putting all the pieces together is just a little beyond us at this moment. Maybe it will click with a little help. Thanks!

    I'm pretty sure you will find that the Airport Express will not work with your router unless it's an Airport Extreme Base Station.
    You can do two things with the Airport Express. You can connect it by USB or Ethernet cable to a device like a printer that does not have wireless capability and provide a wireless connection to your router provided the two devices will "talk" to each other.
    You can connect it to a Mac to provide audio streaming wirelessly.
    You may be able to use it with your projector provided it has its own wireless capability, but I don't know if an Airport Express will stream video. Same for your TV.
    In fact for your home I'm not sure the AEX would be of much use except to connect to your Mac in order to stream audio to another wireless device in your home. But only if you can get the AEX to work with your router or replace the router with an AEBS (which you could only do if your current router is a discrete device connected to your Charter cable modem.)

  • Apple Airport Express: How To Change IP Address While in Bridge Mode

    Hello, I have a Apple Airport Express router and it has been good for a few years. Just wondering how to change my public IP address. I am also in Bridge mode to a cisco router. Also I am on a Windows 8 computer and this is mainly what I want to change the ip for.

    Power cycle the cable modem.. I presume that is what the cisco router is.. your modem.. if not tell us precise model and make of the modem.
    The public IP is not changed by you.. it is changed by your ISP.. normally if you power cycle the modem on a dynamic system you will get a new IP.. if not call the ISP and request them to make a change.
    It is never really necessary unless you got banned from a site.
    I am on a Windows 8 computer and this is mainly what I want to change the ip for.
    There is no logical link to needing a new public IP to being on a windows 8 computer.
    Explain more about your problem.

  • I am trying to link our xbox and PC into our wireless network.  I am using an apple airport express and it is asking me for a WEP Key.  Where can I find my wep key?

    I am tyrying to link our xbox and PC int oour wireless network.  I am using an apple airport express and it is asking for my WEP Key.  Where do I find it?

    You should be able to setup WPA / WPA2 access, rather than WEP - which is old an less secure. (Unless your devices are too old for WPA??)
    Try this link: http://spotlight.getnetwise.org/wireless/wifitips/apple/apple-wpa.php
    **Edit
    Airport does support the WEP protocol.

  • Apple TV viewing of my PCs iTunes without internet thru Apple Airport Express

    Can I do an Apple TV viewing of my PCs iTunes without internet thru Apple Airport Express?

    Other than for purchased movies/TV shows, yes. You will need the internet to homeshare protected content though.

  • My Apple Airport Express is blinking Amber and I cannot find it with the utility

    My Apple Airport Express is blinking Amber and I cannot find it with the utility

    Hi, had the same problem -
    1) Connected AE to Time Capsule with Ethernet cable - Configured it  - All worked fine
    2) Removed Ethernet cable between AE og TC - All worked fine
    3) Unpluged my AE from the socket outlet (power off) and pluged it inn where its supposed to be (2m from my Time Capsule)
    4) Now Airport Utility do not find me AE (after all i reconfigured through the Etheret calbe) ????
    A) Seems that Airport Utility are not able to "see" any wireless AE, only configurable by Ethernet Cable.
    B) Seems that AE are not able to reconnect to configured network after a power loss.
    This is a little bit ****** - older airport utility had none of the problems (A and B)

  • Whats the range of apple airport express

    whats the range of apple airport express.

    The effective range is about 150 feet or approximately 50 meters when there are no obstructions in the signal path between the AirPort Express and the wireless device receiving the signal.
    But, walls, ceilings and other obstructions absorb a great deal of the signal in a home, so it is not possible to predict how the AirPort Express might perform in your home until you try it out in your home.
    In general, you would not want the signal to have to negotiate moving through more than a few walls. A ceiling, because it is much thicker than a wall, will absorb a good deal more of the signal.

  • Apple AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n - MB321LL/A. How to set it up to my new iMac

    Community:
    How do you set up an
    Apple AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n - MB321LL/A how do you set up on Mac running on OS X 10.9.4?
    Please advise
    Fmsalazar

    Apple did say it was important.
    If the units do not show up in the airport utility then you must set it correctly to link-local.
    Steps for OS X Lion or Mountain Lion
    This can happen if IPv6 has been disabled. To enable IPv6 for your network interface:
    Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, and then click Network.
    If a lock icon appears in the lower-left corner, click it and enter your admin name and password to unlock the pane.
    Click your network service (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) in the list, and then click Advanced.
    Click the TCP/IP tab.
    Choose Link-local only from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.
    Click OK.
    Click Apply.
    AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3
    Apple rep says the same.
    Re: Unexpected error when connecting Airport Express A1264 to Airport Utility 6.3.1
    I am searching as I saw it in a thread today where a person had issues. (No contribution from me in the thread but found that was the issue).
    It is kind of a fail safe.. since auto can end up with any setting.. and it will depend on the setting of ipv6 in the Airport Router if it works properly in the computer.. setting it to the correct value is one step in sorting out problems when people get in a mess.

  • About My New Apple Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi Router

    Yesterday on Saturday after i finshed work I Went out & Bought a New Apple Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi Router for My Apple iMac Computer & for My Apple iPhone 5 & Apple TV & I Set it up & everything & everything worked out well so i had a question about it, that Green Solid New Light on Apple Airport Express is it suppose to always stay on even if my Apple iMac Computer is Sleeping like other Wi-Fi Routers??? cause i'm wondering cause it looks Very Nice & White & Shiny & New & i don't really want it to Fail on me cause i do like it & it does not take up a lot of space witch is a good thing so just had to ask???
    how many years will My Apple Airport Express Wi-Fi Router will last for since it's as Big an an Apple TV, just was wondering if this thing is really strong & stuff to like hold out for years time maybe???
    will My Apple Airport Express Wi-Fi Router Software ever get Outdated like my other Wi-Fi Router??? & they stopped making that Belkin Wireless n Router that i had & they stopped Updating it's Software & then The Software became not usable at all so I Had to go out & buy an Apple Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi Router.

    Hi Byron,
    on the first question: take a look at your manual; I have a different router, and on it the light stays on all the time, but I don't know if the Airport works the same way. On mine, it simply means that it is on and ready in case you need it. You should worry when there is no light, LOL.
    Second question: with electronics, can't tell at all how long they will be good for. They are made to be compatible with a certain range of devices and software - and will be updated for a while when those devices and softwares are updated. After a while, too many new routers are available with too many new features that are compatible with new devices and softwares, so it's not worth updating the old ones. It's a question of money - they don't want to give you free updates forever, they want you to buy a new piece of equipment.
    Third: yes, it will at some point. Everything technology/electronics related is outdated - some very quickly: you buy a new one and the next week you see an ad for a "new, improved" one. Same principle: they want you to buy again.
