HT4600 my airport express is green, has connected but now is green and wont connect.  AE is closer to wifi source now than before.

AE has green light but will not be recongnized.  This has worked in the past.  Now it was move closer to the Wfi. Signal stronger per iPone, iPad and laptop.

  • Airport express: no sound with iphone but works with ipad and mac

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my airport express. With my iphone (5, ios8) i can connect to it but there is no sound when i play something. However, when i connect to it with my mac (mini, 10.9.5) or ipad (ios8), everything is fine. I tried restarting of all the devices, including the router, but it does not help. There is no problem with the iphone; streaming to apple tv works fine. Does anyone know how to fix this, or what could be the problem?

    Did you resolve this I have the same problem with all my mobile devices iphone 5, ipad mini and ipod touch 5th Gen all wuiing latest software.  It also works fine with my PC and iTunes.
    I have managed to get sound on the odd occasion for a few minutes but drops out, it also stops if I swap back to the mobile device and back to the airport express (this never works).

  • The connection to our airport express says it has time out and lost connection?

    the connecton to airport express say it has timed out and lost connection. can not hear music from airport express speakers.  only the computer

    What is your overall network configuration with the AirPort Express? That is, is the Express configured to join a wireless network provided by another router or is it your main router? If it is joining another router, what is the make & model of this router? Which model of the Express do you have? Finally, if you have another router, where is the Express located related to this router? Same room, different room, different floor?

  • Airport Express amber light is flashing, but I'm connected. How come?

    Oddities abound in computerland, but this one takes the cake: I bought an Airport Express base station last week at the Danbury CT Apple Store, then spent hours, days, trying to set up a wireless base and establish a connection with my MacMini and my new AsusEee PC. I read and reread the Setup Guide; consulted every forum and every applicable website, all to no avail. I unplugged and replugged the cable modem, reset the A.E. to the factory settings, downloaded the latest version of Airport Utility, but the amber light flashed on and on.
    Then, about fifteen minutes ago, after accessing various settings that had produced nada results on previous occasions, a window appeared on my monitor telling me I was successfully connected, and by gum, I am! But I have no idea why--by that time I was too confused to be able to retrace my path.
    Then, with fingers crossed, I set up the little AsusEee PC for wireless connectivity, and that too connected successfully. BUT the Airport Express light, which has never turned green, continues to flash amber!
    How can this be? I'm pleased as proverbial punch, but I don't dare touch anything for fear of turning gold to dust. Does anyone have any insightful comments?

    When at first you don't succeed.....
    Well, since my last post--4/18--I spent many more hours and resets trying to get the fool thing working, and yesterday when I was just about ready to pack the AX up and take back to the Apple Store, I connected. How and why I do not know. Maybe it was all the resets; maybe it was kismet. Anyway, the green light is on and steady; I was also able to connect my AsusEee, and for the time at least I'm a happy keyboard tapper.
    Hang in there, guys!

  • I am extending my airport extreme by adding an airport express. I had no problem setting it up and got green lights but now I cannot get on either because it says it is a self assigned IP?

    i am extending my airport extreme by adding an airport express.
    Does this mean that you are connecting the AirPort Express to the AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection....or....are you connecting the AirPort Express to the AirPort Extreme wirelessly?
    but now I cannot get on either because it is a self assigned IP?
    I suggest that you first concentrate on getting the AirPort Extreme working correctly. Power off the modem and both the Extreme and Express, wait a few minutes, then power up the modem and let it run a few minutes. Then, power up the AirPort Extreme and check the network for proper operation. Leave the AirPort Express off for now. Report on your results.
    We need to know what operating system you are using on your Mac or PC in order to provide more troubleshooting help.

  • HT1515 Airport Express indicates it isworking properly - but cannot connect to the internet

    I have connected Airport Express to my cable company router via ethernet.  Both the router and Airport Express (solid green light) indicate they are working properly.  When I connect my laptop directly to the cable router, I can access the network. However, I cannot connect to to the Internet wirelessly from my laptop when I connect Airport Express to the cable router.  I get a no internet connection error.  When I try to diagnose and repair the problem, the network settings cannot be fixed.  What should I do?

    A flashing amber light indicates that the AirPort Express (AX) is not connected to either a network or the Internet.
    How is your AX connected physically?
    Is it: DSL/Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > AX > (wireless) > Mac?
    Did you run the AirPort Setup Assistant?

  • Installed latest version of iTunes, now I cannot play music through my Airport express. I'm seeing the message "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "living room". The network connection failed.

  • Replacing an Airport Express with a Time Capsule but it won't connect to the internet.

    Hello, I hope somebody can help.
    I am trying to replace an Airport Express with a 2TB Time Capsule but it won't connect to the internet, via an ADSL modem.
    I have tried everything I can think of, powering down all devices, re-setting all devices, but nothing seems to solve the problem.
    When I first tried to set up the Time Capsule, there was an option to replace the Airport Express using the same settings.
    But there were repeated error messages of 'No DNS Servers' and 'PPPoE server couldn't be found'.
    I also had messages that the password for PPPoE wasn't correct, but when I plug the Airport Express back in again, everything works fine.
    What could the problem be?

    99% of issues with authentication are wrong password or wrong username.. eg it can be strange like the user name is missing the domain.. whereas the Airport Express works fine without it.
    Ring your ISP and make doubly sure you have exactly the correct username and password.
    If it still doesn't work, put the adsl modem back into router mode and try it again directly on the modem.. if it works ok on the modem but fails on the TC that is possible and can be caused by pppoe client using incorrect authentication type, CHAP or PAP which the TC does not allow you to select AFAIK.. some ISP do not give enough time to get the router to switch on auto to the correct authentication method.
    In the end run the modem as router and bridge the TC. It will work just as well for most installations in bridge as the modem in bridge.

  • Airport Express 2nd WAN Port light always on, even when nothing is connected.

    My Airport Express 2nd WAN Port light always on, even when nothing is connected.
    Is this normal? The Airport utility also said that I didn't connect anything to the port - when there is a lan cable connected from the main Airport Extreme.
    The computer can connect to the WiFi from the Airport Express properly, but with blinking yellow and no internet connection, also it cannot obtain the ip address.
    After setting the Airport Express to the Bridge mode, the computer cannot access to the Airport Express anymore, with "Connection Time Out" error.
    The Airport Express was 3 days old, and was working properly until today. There is also one blackout today because of the storm.
    Had reset the Airport several times, didn't solve the problem.

    Hi again. That is a good idea. Check if router can grab an ip from your modem since wireless local connection through the router is working. If it can grab an ip and works fine on wireless, then you might have a problem with the ethernet ports. You might want to try assigning an ip address on the wired connection and see if ip of router is pingable. If really not working at all, possibility that router is not working properly anymore.

  • Lots of existing threads, but no consistent answer - what settings need to be applied to the 2012 (new) Airport Express for it to work at hotels with an ethernet only connection?  Any answers specific to Japan would be helpful.

    Lots of existing threads, but no consistent answer - what settings need to be applied to the 2012 (new) Airport Express for it to work at hotels with an ethernet only connection?  Any answers specific to Japan would be helpful.  I would prefer not to take my old Dell laptop and just be able to use my Ipad 2 via the wireless connection that the Airport Express creates.  However, I can configure the Airport Express at home prior to leaving if that is the best thing to do.

    I have a very similar problem with my AE! My MacBook, MacBook Pro & iPod Touch (1st Generation) all get a GREAT signal from our AE. BUT, our iPod Touch (2nd Generation) and new iPad (WiFi) get terrible signal strength unless we're right next to the AE!! Tech support at Apple is of no help! I'm ready to sell them all! This all started when we got the last OS update for iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad. So it must be a software issue not a hardware one..
    Any ideas?

  • Airport Express as an end point on a wireless network and connect a computer via the ethernet port?

    Can I use my Airport Express as an end point on a wireless network and connect a computer via the ethernet port? - I'm wanting to connect a computer that does not have wireless and is in another building.

    The requirements for this to work are:
    1) The AirPort Express must be the 802.11"n" version. Model Number is A1264
    2) There must be adequate wireless signal stength where the Express will be located
    3) The Express must be configured to "join" the wireless network with the option checked to activate the Ethernet port

  • Airport Express streams Airplay from iMac but not from Windows 7 PC

    I have a wireless network set up using a Linksys WRT45G2 v1 router. There is one iMac running Snow Leopard, one laptop running 32 bit Windows 7 Ultimate and one desktop running 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate. The router is set to WPA2 Personal TKIP+AES security. The Airport Express is set to WPA2 Personal. Its wireless mode is "join a wireless network." It is running firmware version 6.3. The iMac and the laptop are running iTunes 9 and the desktop is running iTunes 10.
    Up until recently I was able to stream music from the iMac and the desktop but not the laptop to remote speakers using airtunes via the airport express. Then the video processor in my desktop PC failed and in the course of diagnostic testing I had to reinstall the OS. After replacing the video card and reinstalling the OS, I tried to reconnect Airport Express to iTunes on the desktop PC but Airport Utility could not find the Airport Express. I returned the Airport Express to factory settings and tried again. The PC still did not recognize the Airport Express. I couldn't use the PC to reconfigure the Airport Express, but the iMac did see it so I reconfigured the Airport Express using the iMac. Now I can stream music using Airport Express from the iMac ONLY.
    When I use the Airport Utility to scan on the desktop or the laptop PCs it does not see the Airport Express. I can, however, see the Airport Express and read its configuration using Airport Utility on both PCs by using "configure other..." under the File tab (i.e. by typing in the IP number and password for the Airport Express.) Even though I can read the configuration and save it, iTunes does not recognize any remote speakers and I cannot stream music from either PC.
    I have tried turning off ALL wireless security as well as all firewalls. I also tried both iTunes 9 and iTunes 10 on the desktop. Nothing makes any difference.
    Before I could at least stream from desktop even though I had never been able to get the laptop to stream.
    Can anyone suggest a way to get Airtunes (Airplay) to work from my PCs?

    I have had the same issue. Airplay working with all devices apart from one windows 7 (the actual media server) and have spent over a week trying to resolve it.
    This worked for me.
    Turn off windows firewall and in my instance macafee. Be warned while macafee says that it's off there are services running all the time.
    You will need to open macafee settings and turn off access protection first
    Then search services from start bar
    Open services and filter by manufacturer
    Stoop all macafee services
    Right click the start bar
    Open task manager
    Stop all macafee processes
    Try your airport utility you should now see your express
    If you can you will see your icon in iTunes
    This pores that it's likely to be a macafee issues. Of course you do not want to leave the firewall off so I installed macafee and installed a fresh copy turning both the windows and macafee firewall on with no resultant issues
    Hope this helps
