I am considering purchase of Airport Express to extend / improve my network at home. I have read that AE will not work with a non apple set up. Does this mean my BT Homehub will not work with AE?

I have poor router connection to my iphone in one part of my three storey home. I have a BT Homehub router. I am considering purchase of Airport Express to improve my network connection. Will AE function with the Homehub.  I have read that it may not! Any advice please?

The AirPort Express will work with the Homehub if you establish a permanent Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Homehub to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express.
The AirPort Express will not work if you are planning to connect the Express to the Homehub wirelessly to extend the network.

  • When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me  ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

    Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
    You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already.  Then you will have two computers authorized.  Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time.  If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
    Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library.  Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct.  But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

  • Tried to use my two airport express to extend my wifi network on a windows pc but no success

    Tried to use my two airport express to extend my wifi network on a windows pc but no success

    My two airport express base stations are 802.11n and i am triying to use them extend my wireless network which is using a D link wirless router as supplied my my ISP connected to TalkTalk network.
    Unless the D-Link wireless router has Ethernet ports for each of the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Stations (AXn) to connect to, they will NOT be able to extend the wireless range of the D-Link.
    Instead, when directly connected and reconfigured for a roaming network, these base stations CAN extend the range.
    Please check out this Apple Support article on how to use AirPorts to extend a wireless network.
    The key is to have both AXns configured as follows:
    As a bridge.
    Each having a unique Base Station Name.
    Both using the same Network Name (or SSID), wireless security type and password as the D-Link.
    Each AXn to use a channel at least 3-5 channels apart both from each other and that of the D-Link.

  • I did set up my Airport Express to extend my existing network. It did ok but I can't see the name assigned to the Airport Express name in my available networks. Is that normal?

    If the AirPort Express is extending your network it is using the same wireless network name as your "main" router.
    Your main router and the Express act like one "big" network now.
    Your computer will connect to either the main router or the Express automatically....depending on where it sees the best signal.

    It means your phone was hacked to unlock it and has now been bricked. Buy a new phone.

  • 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.

    On an older Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What does this mean?  And how do I work around it?

    I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
    I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.

    FIX:  
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
    If that doesnt pass,

    Me too. I ignore it and click "stay offline" because I am not hooked up to iCloud as yet and have no need for my Calendar to go online.

  • HT201318 I BOUGHT 15gb of storage and it is not enough. I then bought the 25gb.Does this mean I have 40gb now or can I cancel the 15gb plan. All I need is the 25gb plan.

    I BOUGHT 15gb of storage and it is not enough. I then bought the 25gb.Does this mean I have 40gb now or can I cancel the 15gb plan. All I need is the 25gb plan.

    This should answer your question:
    "If you purchase a higher-tier storage plan for your iCloud account to replace your existing storage plan (for example, a 20 GB plan to replace a 10 GB plan), the existing plan will be canceled and you will receive a prorated refund for the time remaining. The new storage plan is applied to your iCloud account and the annual payment date is updated to reflect the purchase date for the new plan." - https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4874

    If I have logged into icloud on a friends phone and then I delete account does this mean it will sign out of my phone ?

    No.  It deletes the iCloud backup (and possibly the data on your friend's phone if you're not careful).  It does not affect the content of any other iOS device.

  • When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it?

    When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it? I am using a pc laptop if that makes any difference.

    Try reading through this thread: key not valid for use in specified state. Possible solution involves moving the RSA folder. Rather than deleting it as aniwack suggested I'd try this:
    For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.
