I can't see my airport express on wired network.

My airport express works like a charm, at least on every wireless device I have. My wired windows computer though refuses to auto detect him. I can ping to the device, configure it through airport utility when i give up the ip adress manual. It's such a strange problem anyone has already experienced the same? I already tried disabling my firewall and stuff but since i can ping i can assume the path to the device is free right?

Did you solve this? I have exactly the same problem.
Airport Utility cannot automatically detect my Airport Express from my wired PC.
The AE light is solid green. It is in client mode / joined to my existing network. I can see/stream to the Airport Express from my wireless laptop but not from my wired PC. My PC (connected to a Belkin wireless modem/router via ethernet cable) can successfully ping the AE and access it via Airport Utility when entering the IP address manually (via File / Configure Other...).

  • Updated my iTunes and now my mac can not see my airport express no matter what I have tried

    recently updated my itunes and the firmware on my airport extreme and suddenly itunes does not recognize my airport express for speakers and my mac through airport utilities can not see my airport express. *** I have tried everything and nothing will bring the airport express back to life what to do

  • Itunes can't see my Airport Express speakers after I close my laptop

    So this is a weird issue- and I haven't been able to find a prior discussion on this topic. Apologize in advance if I asking something that is already well documented.
    but I've seen the problem on two separate laptops now: if I stream my itunes through my airport express speakers and then subsequently close my laptop (presumably putting it into hibernate or some other energy saving mode), itunes cannot see the airport speakers upon reopening the laptop. I have to reset Itunes - and then it will see these speakers every time. Same thing happens when I reset my airport express- sometimes I have to reconfig the router through the airport utility. As soon as a press update and the router resets... then itunes cannot see the airport express speakers.
    Not a huge issue- just requires a lot of rebooting to fix. Buts its frustrating.. my macbook speakers are lame. I wish itunes has some sort of speaker refresh button that would reset the speaker settings.
    My wife says it is known itunes bug.. anyone know anything on this?
    Thanks in advance everyone!!

    1. Did you try just to switch back to the cpu-speaker and the directly back to the express?
    2. Did you do a firmware update of your express? Just open the express-server-program to do so.

  • Can Apple TV replace Airport Express as wireless network extender?

    I currently have a 1TB Time Capsule plus an Airport Express 802.11n 5Ghz setup as a wireless network extender to the TC. I also use AirTunes on the AE tied into our home theater system. I'm contemplating purchasing an Apple TV and cannot figure out (after browsing forums and Apple.com) if the Apple TV can fully replace the Airport Express for both AirTunes AND as my wireless network extender? In other words, if I buy the Apple TV to I need to have it serve side-by-side with the AE, or can I move the AE to another location to even further extend the network range? Many thanks for any help on this topic!

    Yes, that's correct. However, the OP wasn't asking if they could do that. They wanted to use the ATV to extend the network to other devices, and it won't do that. It will connect to the network even if the network runs off a single computer as a opposed to a router. But devices not connected to the computer or router can't connect to the ATV.

  • Itunes can't see the Airport Express that I'm connecting to... Wierd

    I have my AE set up as a WAP on an ethernet system. I have iTunes over ethernet selected, but now my wireless box can't see the AE even though I'm sending this note over the AE. Does selecting iTunes over ethernet disable the iTunes over wireless?
    The AE is connected to a router, so it is not distributing IP addresses.
    I guess that I should also mention that it's preventing me from seeing other machines on the network and sharing my library.
    Help??

    Unless you've explicitly disabled "Distribute IP addresses" using Airport Admin Utility, your Express is set up as a router and is distributing IP addresses, which is consistent with the fact that you can't see the other machines.

  • Can't see new AirPort Express on a wired-only network.

    After checking up http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108064-en I decided to buy an AirPort Express and to hook it to my wired-only home network. I have connected the AEX to one of the Ethernet ports on the router and plugged it in, the light is solid green.
    The AirPort Utility says that it is "unable to find any AirPort base station".
    Using Configure Other... in the File menu, I tried the IP address 192.168.0.12 with the password "public" I get Error -6753.
    The address should be the right one because a) I can ping it b) There are only 2 computers on the network and the have addresses 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.11 and c) I have limited the address range to 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.109 when setting DHCP in the router.
    Thanks for your help.

    Ubacs, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Have you tried doing hard or factory default reset of the AirPort Express (AX)?

  • New Airport Extreme  - can't see old Airport Express

    I've succesfully installed my new airport extreme but the old airport express is not visible anywhere. What is the procedure to connect it to the network?

    Do a factory reset. Unplug the Express, take a paper clip or ball point pen, depress the reset button and hold it in while you plug your Express back into a power outlet. The light will blink green a couple of times and then blink amber rapidly. When the amber light stop blinking and stays solid, you can release the reset button. Give it s a few minutes to recycle. Then open Airport Utility (I assume when you say that you installed your new Extreme you mean the 802.11n. If you mean the Extreme g, use Airport Setup Assistant. Once it opens it should scan and your Express will show up with its factory ID. You can use the Utility to set it up.

  • Can't see shared Airport USB Drive on Network

    I have a AirPort Extreme (5th Generation) with a USB drive attached. I am using OS 10.9.2 on my desktop and laptop. I can see the drive on my desktop Mac which has a ethernet connection to the Airport, but my laptop can't see the shared drive. I used Airport Utility (under "Disk" Tab) to Enable file sharing and share disks over WAN. I have set the "Secure Shared Disks" to "With a disk Password."  On the laptop, I have set Finder preferences to see "External disks."
    However, the disk does not show up on the Finder sidebar under "Devices" or "Shared."
    Any suggestions on how I can make this "Shared Drive" visible?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Also make sure that Finder Preferences is set to show Connected Servers on the desktop.
    Restart the entire network as well by powering everything off, waiting a minute, then starting the modem first, followed by the next device connected to the modem, etc until everything is powered back up.

  • Airport Express and wired network with static IPs

    I have a wired network with static IPs. I have a block of free IPs I can use to connect to this network. Manually setting any of one IP from this block on my MacBook Pro via ethernet works great - full network connectivity including internet.
    What I wish to do is add an Airport Express in between my MBP and the network, so that I may have greater freedom (wireless opposed to wired). Is the AX capable of this? If yes, what are the correct settings? Keep in mind there is no DHCP server on the network.
    I have tried giving the AX an IP manually and then accessing it from the MBP having the AX share IP (effectively becoming it's own DHCP server?). This gives internet connectivity, but I can't see any of the servers on the network. I assume because I'm now on a new subnet.
    So I then changed the AX settings to not distribute an IP and gave the MBP another IP from the block (different from the AX). This gives me the network, but no internet.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Okay, I made a mistake and forgot to set the DNS servers manually. It seems the second method works fine. I've set up WPA2 security as well - I'm assuming this is okay in this situation. What is the correct term for this setup? A wireless access point bridge? Is there anything more I should know about this setup? TIA

  • Airport express with wired network

    Hello,
    I am looking to play my itunes library through my receiver in my living room. There is an ethernet connection there. My mainMac is in another room, also connected to the network. Can I just connect the airport express with airtunes to an outlet in the living room with the ethernet wire into it? (and then the receiver connected to the audio out, of course) My mainMac does not have a wireless card.
    I would appreciate some help. Thanks.

    ok, so I bought the AX because it seems that I should be able to do what I want. I plugged it into my network, but when Airport Admin Utility tries to scan for AX, nothing shows up. Any clues?
    Thanks,
    Mario

  • Airport Utility can no longer see my Airport Express Base Station.

    Hi all the problem I have is as follows;
    I've set up my Airport Express Base Station some time ago to print wirelessly from my HP Photosmart C4280 and it was working fine.
    However recently when I've gone to print a document, even though the printer is working fine and the Airport Express Base Station is showing a green light nothing happens. I've gone into the Airport Utility and its say's it can't see the Airport Express Base Station (even though it still has a green light showing). If I unplug the Airport Express and plug it in again, the Airport Utility can suddenly see it again.
    I've successfully gone through the reset process but after a few minutes the Airport Utility can no longer see the Airport Express Base Station which means I can't print a document wirelessly. I've repeated the reset process several times with the same outcome.
    Everything was working fine up until recently, has the Airport Express Base Station developed a fault? or is there something I'm not doing.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    If you're comfortable resetting all settings, unplug it, hold down the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug it back in - keep holding it for another 10-20s until the amber light flashes
    Then, open airport utility, now you should be able to see the device either on-screen or in the upper left under 'other wi-fi devices'

  • PC cannot see wireless Airport Express using Ethernet on D-LINK DIR-655 Router

    This seems to be a recurring issue going way back, but I have yet to see a real solution posted.
    I am using my Airport Express (APX) to stream music from the computers on my network to my stereo via Airplay.  I have APX set up to wirelessly join my existing wireless network, which uses a D-Link DIR-655 router hooked to a Time Warner cable modem.  I can succesfully connect all of my wireless devices via Airplay, through iTunes to my APX, including two laptops and an iPhone.  However, my primary desktop PC, which does not have a wireless card is linked directly via ethernet cable to my D-Link router, and it is not able to see my APX.  I can, however, see the Airport Express from my PC through my Airport Utility by directly typing in the IP address.  Note that the  APX set-up option to allow Ethernet clients is checked.  I also noticed that my laptops will stop detecting the APX if I directly connect them to my D-Link router via Ethernet and turn off their wireless cards.  They will resume detecting APX when I turn their wireless connections back on.  So, bottom line, I am convinced that this is not a firewall problem.  Although I have tried every conceivable setting of my D-Link router and APX, I am convinced it is either a wireless to ethernet communication issue, or some obscure setting on APX.. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Wayne

    I think I found the fix based on reading some Apple TV forums where several people were having the same problem.  Under Advanced Network settings in the D-Link setup, I just checked "Enable Multicast Streams" and that seemed to do the trick.

  • Lost Airport Express in my network. Solid amber light.

    I've an Airport Extreme base station and use an Airport Express to extend the range throughout my house. Yesterday I had to restart Airport Extreme and reset it back to default mode, to make it burp out a 'stock' IP number. I renamed my network; but now my computers, using Airport Utility, can't 'see' the Airport Express. And its light is now solid amber. How do I get Airport Express back into my network to extend my range? Thank you. (BTW: I can't find the Airport utility disc that came with Airport Express.)

    Welcome to the discussions!
    If you reset the Extreme back to factory defaults and reconfigured it, you will need to do the same for the Express.
    Plug the Express into power and hold in the tiny reset button until the amber light begins to blink rapidly.
    Open AirPort Utility to reconfigure your Express to "extend" the network created by the Extreme. If Airport Utility can't "find" the Express, temporarily connect an ethernet cable from the Express to your computer.
    You may find it a bit easier to use the Manual Setup option on the Express since you already know how your Extreme is configured and you will use many of the same settings.

  • Airport Express: Extend a network and do Airtunes at the same time?

    Hi, I'm trying to organize the people in my apartment building to share an internet connection wirelessly.
    The connection is originating from a friend's apartment; he has a Linksys router, probably "g" flavor.
    We're going to put one Airport Express in a neighbor's apartment to extend that.
    I have an Airport Express connected to my stereo which I use only for Airtunes.
    So I'm wondering: can I connect my Airport Express to this network and extend it and ALSO use it for Airtunes?
    Also: Can I prevent my neighbors from seeing my Airport Express for Airtunes purposes? IE, I don't want my stereo to show up in the "multiple speakers" drop down of iTunes for other people connecting to the network...
    Hope there's a way to work this out...

    can I connect my Airport Express to this network and extend it and ALSO use it for Airtunes?
    In order to extend the wireless range of the Linksys router, you would have to configure your AX and the Linksys in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Unfortunately, very few non-AirPort router are WDS-compatible. The few Linksys models that are reported to be compatible are the WRT54G & WRT54GS.
    If you can create a WDS, streaming iTunes should not be a problem.
    Also: Can I prevent my neighbors from seeing my Airport Express for Airtunes purposes? IE, I don't want my stereo to show up in the "multiple speakers" drop down of iTunes for other people connecting to the network...
    No, but you can establish an iTunes Speaker password so they would not be able to stream to it.

  • Can see my airport express

    I moved my computer from upstairs to downstairs almost a year ago and have not connect with my Airport Express since. I have Verizon FIOS wireless network that works fine between the 2 floors. I tried to locate the Airport closer to the computer but only blinks amber. Per airport utility checked for updated software. How do I get reconnected with my airport? Need house full of music by New Years...

    If your AirPort Express device is blinking amber, then there is a problem unrelated to where your computer is located.
    I presume that you have some sort of router in addition to the AirPort Express. If you can connect to the AirPort Express with a computer using AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup and then click on Status: under the Summary tab to look for a clue as to the problem.
    If all else fails, try resetting the AirPort Express device [again].
