HT4262 where is the apple airport express ID located?

just bought an apple airport express. can anyone tell me where the airport ID can be found?

Unfortunately, Apple no longer prints the Ethernet ID and AirPort IDs on the AirPort Express.
You can locate the IDs by configuring the Express to connect to your network, and then use AirPort Utility to display the information that you need.
You did not provide information on the type of operating system that you are using on your computer, so we cannot provide any more specific information about locating the IDs if you need more help.
If yu are using a Mac, and do not know what version of the operating system you are using, you can find that information by clicking on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then clicking About This Mac. The OS X Version Number will be displayed. Post back with that info.

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.)

My Iphone will not accept the Apple airport express as the Wi fi network so I can facetime, how do I fix?

My Iphone (I have a 4s and 3G) will not accept the apple airport express as the wi fi network so that I can face time. How do I resolve this?

What are the exact specifications of the wireless network you've created? (If you're not sure, open Airport Utility on your computer and check the Radio Mode in the Wireless tab). Bear in mind:
- iPhones earlier than the iPhone 4 cannot connect to an "n-only" network - they need b/g compatibility.
- No iPhone can connect to a 5GHz network (Compatibility mode will also fix this).

Hello, I just bought the apple Airport Express, and I am suffering from lots of difficulties. It is in the middle of out apartment and from a bedroom, it runs very slow and sometimes doesn't even load. I would like to know what might make it stronger.

Hello, I just bought a Airport Express, and on the first day it has a a weak signal. It is very far from my working space and my apartment has very thick walls that might be blocking the signal. I would like to know if I can do anything to make it stronger or faster. If you know please reply.

You need to move the AirPort Express closer to the bedroom.
You can leave the modem at its current location and purchase a longer Ethernet cable to move the AirPort Express virtually anywhere that you want. The closer that you can locate the AirPort Express to your working space, the better the signal will be.
Standard lengths of Ethernet cables are 6 feet (2 meters), 25 feet (8 meters), and 50 feet (15 meters). Any computer / electronics superstore will have a selection of Ethernet cable from which to choose.

What other than the Apple Airport Express can make audio systems (speakers/stereos) play with airplay?

.

Besides the AppleTV there are many AirPlay - enabled devices available from various manufacturers other than Apple.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPlay:
"AirPlay wireless technology (receiver mode) is integrated into speaker docks, AV receivers, and stereo systems from companies such as Philips, Marantz, Bowers & Wilkins, Pioneer, Sony, and Denon.[9] Song titles, artists, album names, elapsed and remaining time, and album artwork can appear on AirPlay-enabled speakers with graphical displays."

Will the apple airport express work in pakistan

Im going abroad and wanted to know if tis device will allow me to have Wifi when I am in Pakistan Not sure if I should buy or not.

The express will work.. but you probably cannot select pakistan as location.. therefore the wireless setup might be wrong.. or worse illegal for the region you are travelling to.. having said that.. you can easily enough discover the local regulations and set channels on the wireless manually to conform.
Otherwise they are excellent little travel router.

''Apple Airport Express Slow'' HELP...!!!

Hello apple geeks, firstly i have recently bought an apple airport express and ive used an ethernet cable to plug into the wan port on my sky router broadband and then plugged into the apple airport express. i then set this up and i beleive this apple express is running on bridge mode. it does have its days where its fast and then slow but i explained to the apple guy on the phone and he said that if i wire it up with ethernet. from device to device ill have better connection and ill be able to get a signal further away do i need to adjust the settings on my apple airport express...? be very grateful if this is answered cheers....

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.
Dell Laptop Windows

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.

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.

Play music or youtube music! from my iPhone and iPad on my Sonos through Apple AirPort Express?

Can I play music or youtube music! from my iPhone and iPad on my Sonos through Apple AirPort Express.
I believe I can, although it is not totally clear how to do so.
Can I use an old Apple AirPort Express (1st generation) or do only the newer versions of the Apple AirPort Express do the trick ?

Apple Airport Express - drops wifi connections after a day or two.....??

Dear Users,
Can anyone assist me, I have 2 Apple Airport Express recievers and an Apple TV2 connected to my iMac. The Apple TV is connected via ethernet and a gigabit switch via the BT Infinity Router. The 2 Apple Airport Expresses are connected via wiresles to the BT router.
Everything works fine, music streams perfectly most of the time.
But after 24-48 hours of being dorment the Router seems to drop the wireless connections to the Apple Airport Expresses, if you reboot the router they connect again immediatley. I have adjusted the router settings to 802.1n, instead of 802.1n/b/g, which seemed to work better for a few days and the connection never dropped and now the problem has started again.
Frankly its not the end of the world, but it means I have to reboot the router everytime we want to use all zones for music, which when you have a wife that moans that 'my setup is too complicted and has to be rebooted everytime', it would be great to resolve this for once and all.....
Have a I missed something simple or do I need a new router/Airport Extreme?
Thanks in advance
Matt

The whole idea here is to test by first powering off your "extending" AirPort.
Then, take a measurement with your laptop at the location of the "extending" AirPort.....to see what quality of signal that it is receiving. Remember, it can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives.
You would want to see a minimum SNR of 25 at the location of your "extending" AirPort Express. Higher would be better. If it is less than 25, you need to move the "extending" Express closer to the "main" router so that it will receive a better quality signal to extend.
Once you have a location with a decent SNR of 25 or higher, then power the "extending" Express back up at that location.

Apple Airport Express N Ethernet connection problems...

Hello,
I have just setup my apple airport express to connect to my belkin wireless N router F5D8636-4 v2 via Ethernet. I have turned all the wireless features off on the express as I'm only using it to send music to my DAC. It is assigned I.P by DHCP all other computers are manually asigned I.Ps so no conflicts. My computer is also wired to the router and running windows 7 64bit. It all works great apart from when I turn my P.C off.
When I turn it back on it cannot find the airport express over LAN until I reset the apple airport express by powering it down and back on. Is this right? Surely not? OR when im finished with my hi-fi should I be turning the apple airport express off?
Anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers
Dan

The Express can effectively extend the 2-Wire network if 4 conditions are met during the configuration of the Express to create a wireless network:
1) Same wireless network name as the 2-Wire network
2) Same wireless network security as the 2-Wire network
3) Same password as the 2-Wire network
4) Bridge Mode Operation
Most users know 1) and 3), but 2) is the real key here. If the wireless security setting of the 2-Wire and Express do not match up exactly....then you will have 2 separate wireless networks instead of the seamless network that you desire.
So, the first question....do you know the exact type of security settings that the 2-Wire router is using? If not, it is not possible to configure the Express the way that you want without a long trial and error guesswork process.
You may need to contact your service provider to find out how to access the settings to learn what they are.
If you do know the exact security settings being used by the 2-Wire router, post back with that info and we can provide a step by step configuration guide if you want.
I assume that you are using OS X 10.6.8 as your profile indicates.

Apple Airport Express NOT Working! Internet IS working.

I have Apple Airport Express. It is wireless and multiple computers as well as cable are all able to access internet because of this handy device. However I have unplugged it because I was having an issue with Apple TV... and I plugged everything back in and I won't get internet. I called my internet provider and they had me hook up the internet directly to my laptop (skipping the Apple Airport Express) and now I have internet again! However, I only have internet on the one computer that is hooked up... not all the computers/TVs/Apple TVs/iPad in the house.
It isn't an issue with the internet provider because I can get internet. I can't help but think that it is a problem with the Apple Airport Express. I've unplugged everything, waited a few minutes and plugged everything back in. I've done this a few times. Nothing seems to work. What am I doing wrong? I was working fine before the first time I unplugged (and that was due to another Apple device, I think, going wrong).
Help!

Morning zannahdoll,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Some Internet service providers use a method called "hardware access provisioning" to regulate access to their networks. It normally means that only one of your devices (such as a computer, base station, or router) can connect directly to your modem at any given time.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
AirPort Base Station: ISP provisioning may prevent Internet connection via broadband (cable or DSL)

Setup apple airport express

I'm trying to extend my network with the apple airport express the 2nd one ( newest) ,
the first part of the setup was ok but once I'm trying to change the AP Express from join an existing network to extend existing network its giving me problem and pretty much its going back to orange (LED) light .

The AirPort Express can only wirelessly "extend" a wireless network that has been provided by another Apple router. The Express cannot "extend" a wireless network from a 3rd party router.
Another way to say the same thing is that if you want to extend your network, you will need at least two Apple routers.
