HT4260 Will this work with AirPort Expresses?

Has anyone set up a roaming network as shown in an Apple Knowledge Base article entitlted “Wi-Fi base stations: Setting up and configuring a roaming network,” where the slave units are AirPort Expresses?

Has anyone set up a roaming network as shown
Sure, works just fine.
Unfortunately, that Knowledge Base article....while providing good general information.....is a few years out of date, and does not apply to the setup for Macs running the Lion or Mountain Lion operating system.
Apple has yet to update the article, but we can provide the "how to" with Lion and Mountain Lion if you are interested.

  • Will any non USB printer work with Airport express?

    WIll any non USB based printer work with airport express?

    If you have an iPad, you might want to concentrate on printers that are AirPrint compatible, so that you can print from the iPad.
    See this Apple support document for more details.

    Is your Touch running iOS 5.n? If so, you can administer the AX with the AirPort Utility which you can download directly from the Apple App Store.

  • We have a Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 and cannot get the printer to work with airport express - any suggestions?

    Can anyone give us suggestions on how to get our Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 to work with airport express? We cannot get airport express to recognize the printer.

    Refresh all your devices before reconfiguring printer to connect to your computer.
    a Shutdown computer
    b Pull out printer power cord from the socket. Let it stay for at least 30 seconds then plug it back.
    c Powercycle your router (unplug your router for at least 30 then plug it back. This will not change the settings of the router. This will just refresh the device)
    d Once router is ready , put back brick at the back of the printer to turn it on
    e Wait one minute
    f Turn on computer

  • Does Apple list available printers that work with AirPort Express?

    Just bought an AirPort Express hoping that I could print wirelessly with my HP 1350 All-in-One, and it won't work. Found out after the fact that my printer doesn't support USB wireless printing.
    I'm looking for a basic color printer to work with AirPort Express for wireless printing by other family members, and I'll continue to use my HP 1350 with USB for scanning and OCR functions.
    Does Apple provide a list of recommended printers that will work with AirPort Express?

    No Apple doesn't any more.
    I have been maintaining a community created list.
    http://tech.ifelix.net/1013.html
    This is an unofficial list of USB printers which are are compatible with the AirPort Extreme Base Station and Airport Express. Printers in bold have been added to the original list that Apple provided.
    Printers in dark red are in fact the only printers I have personally tested.
    Please also note that due to changes in the firmware of both the Airport Extreme base station and the introduction of the Airport Express some printers which are in this list may no longer in fact be compatible.

  • Does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

    does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

    "You can use the AirPort Express to extend the signal provided by the new AirPort, but the Express will not extend "ac" wireless since it does not have that capability. The Express will extend an "n" wireless signal if that helps."
    This is what I am trying to understand.
    So AXTRM w/ sep SSID for 2.4 (b/g/n) - call it SSID1 - and 5GHz (ac) call it SSID2 - WiFi Explorer confirms AC mode on 5G.
    Using an AXPRESS to extend - I have the option of SSID1 b/g/n *and* the 5GHz ac SSID2 in the pulldown (it sees both?) --> if I select SSID1, it also extends this same SSID in 5GHz (both showing b/g/n) >> so I now have 3 signals on SSID1 (XTRM 2.4G, XPRS 2.4G and XPRS 5G) b/g/n and one signal on SSID2 (XTRM 5G AC) ac
    If I select the 5Ghz ac SSID2 to extend - it prompts me "do you also want to extend (the 2.4GHz SSID1)?" --> select yes and I now have 2 signals for SSID (XTRM 2.4G & XPRS 2.4G) b/g/n and 2 signals on SSID2 (XTRM 5G 802.11ac & XPRS 5G 802.11 a//n)
    Is the 5G SSID2 actually being extended from the Airport Extreme to the Express?
    The reason I bring this up is I am having a lot of issues since iOS8 came out (especially on iPhone 6). Everything I am reading is pointing to when people have 2 AP's set to use the same SSID. When you walk to a part of the house where 5G 802.11 ac signal marginalizes, the phone does not immediately hand over to the 5G 802.11 a/n Airport Express.
    My thought was separate the SSID's but to me, if the Express can't extend 5Ghz from the Extreme, it's taking a step backwards. I am better off getting a more powerful router like an ASUS and going with one AP, drop the WiFi roaming altogether
    Any thoughts?

  • Time Machine will NOT work with Airport Disks!

    It looks like Time Machine will not work with Airport Disks after all. All references to Airport have been removed from the Time Machine page:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/timemachine.html
    It also specifically says: "You can designate just about any HFS+ formatted FireWire or USB drive connected to a Mac as a Time Machine backup drive. Time Machine can also back up to another Mac running Leopard with Personal File Sharing, Leopard Server, or Xsan storage devices."
    Surely, they would have included the Airport Extreme Base Station in this list if it was supported.
    I really hope there will be another firmware update for the AEBS which will bring compatibility with Time Machine, because Time Machine was the only reason for me to buy an AEBS. (I only use it as a small backup server, I don't even have wireless networking enabled. There were other solutions, e.g. from Synology, which are faster and more reliable than AEBS disk sharing, but Synology stated their network drives would not be compatible with Time Machine.)

    Here's how you can potentially use your AirDisk with TimeMachine (beware that YMMV), but it should work as it works with every other "unsupported" device.
    1) Mount your AirDisk so it appears on your Mac
    2) Open Terminal.app
    3) change directories to the AirDisk's root folder located in "/Volumes"
    ie: cd "/Volumes/AirDisk Name"
    4) execute this command to "bless" the drive to be used with time machine:
    touch .com.apple.timemachine.supported
    5) Start TimeMachine and if all went well, it should recognize your AirDisk drive and use it for TM.
    This should also work on NFS shares, SMB shares, AFP shares, basically anything. It has worked up until the last developer seed, so unless they yanked this at the last minute, it should still work.
    Now, the reason why Apple removed this feature may be due to the unreliability of the AirDisk, so be cautious.

  • I have East/West Symphony.  Will it work with Logic express and do I have to have that little red usb drive in the computer to authorize it?

    I have East/West Symphony. 
    Will it work with Logic express and do I have to have that little red usb drive in the computer to authorize it?
    Also, would it work with Garageband??

    Thanks-that's the same driver I'm using now.
    The M-audio techs were unable to tell me if Quattro would work with LE8, so I've been wasting my time and money trying to make it work.
    They also gave me conflicting opinions as to whether or not "tip" polarity was an issue when using an after-market adapter. One said definitely yes, one or two others said definitely no.
    Their phone tech line has a 20 to 40 minute wait when I call. The online support system is confusing, which even they admit. I don't think my next interface will be from M-audio.
    Thanks very much for the response, it helps me get beyond this phase.
    Is the Quattro of any use for anybody else (i.e., can I sell it or give it away)?

  • My wife and I have separate Ids but all our music is in one library. How will this work with iCloud?

    My wife and I have separate Ids but all our music is in one library. How will this work with iCloud? i'm trying to download past purchases from her id, but itunes is saying that I can't because the computer is associated with my apple id. Can I associate the computer with both ids for the purpose of identifying all of our music with both or just one of our ids? Is there a good way to do this? I'm sure we're not the only people with this problem...

    You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos.

  • HT4623 I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

    I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

    Also i forgot to add after a night of searching how to turn the Epson Workforce 435 printer into Airprint friendly and not iPrint (which are 2 completely different things) i donwloaded a program called (AirPrint Activator) from HandyPrint. The link is below to download the software. Once i installed the application i set my printer to be shared over my Home Network (Wi-Fi Network). Once you have done that, open the AirPrint Activator application you have just downloaded, swtich it ON from OFF mode, and then you should easily see your printer name in my case EPSON Workforce 435 and then just close the application. Then go to your IOS Device like your iphone/ipad/ipod touch select a picture that you want to test print or even an attached PDF from your email, and select Print in the share button. You will then be prompted to select your printer. Your printer you automatically be recongised then just select print. And now you have a complete AirPrint ready printer with a Printer that doesnt even support the function. Im sure you can do this to all Wireless Printers, even if they came out before Apple AirPrint service launch.
    And also if you still need guidance and a video to follow from just click the Youtube link below

  • Speakers that work with airport express?

    Can anyone recommend small wall mounted speakers that work with airport express?
    Thanks in advance

    I would recommend just about anything from either Bose or Audioengine that are self-powered and provide either analog or digital audio inputs. One example would be the Audioengine A2+ speakers.
