I have an airport express and it seems that I am not able to receive any updates any more
Greeting from Belgium!
I own an Airport Express and since august 2012 I am not able to receive and download any updates for it.
The light on the AX is also flickering orange and that is a sign of a weak or bad connection according to the manual.
I have tried a soft reset but still no improvement !
When I am trying to work with the Airport Configuration Utility it does not recogneize any AX base station .
Can anybody tell me if encountered the same issue and explain to me how to resolve it ?
Thank you very much

First try a "hard reset".
If that does not enable you to use AirPort Utility to configure the Express, then try a "factory defaults reset":
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.
A "factory defaults reset" is similar to the above. The only difference is that it will erase any saved configurations. To do that:
First, unplug the base station from power. Press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed while connecting it to power. Then, release the reset button.

I bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to AirPrint from my IPad. I have set up airport utility on my Hp laptop and configured it properly with the express. But still I'm not able to detect the printer attached to the USB port of airport express, neither on my laptop nor on my IPad. Can someone tell me if and how it can be done?
Who assured you that an AirPort Express would allow you to use AirPrint from an iPad. They were incorrect.
AirPrint from iPads and other iOS devices is only supported on a select few wireless network printers that expressly advertise that feature. An AirPort Express will not add that feature to a printer that does not support AirPrint. Also, for printers that do support AirPrint a wireless access point is not required since the printer needs to support wireless networks connections internally.
The HP laptop should however be able to print to the printer connected to the AirPort Express. Try also installing the Bonjour Print Services for Windows. It will make printer discovery a lot easier when using Bonjour enable devices like an AirPort Express. -
I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either. I have an iphone 4 that will not connect to 5ghz.
thank you!Your AirPort Express is already providing two separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, but each band is using the same wireless network name.
This is the default setup for the AirPort Express, which is recommended for most users. The theory here is that devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the AirPort Express.
It is possible to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" devices at that network to connect. Some users swear by this option.....(I am not one of them).... but you might want to give it a try to see how it works for you.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Express
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Click Wireless Options near the bottom of the next window
Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz Name.....which will automatically add "5 GHz" to the network name....so you can identify it
Click Save, then click Update and wait a full minute for the Express to restart
Now you will need to "point" your 5 GHz capable devices at the 5 GHz network name. 2.4 GHz devices will connect to your "other" network name. -
I have the airport express and trying to set up internet service on my TV (Vizio) but having no luck.... I need a code to enter in order to connect! Can you help?
Hi - you might be getting full bars but a slow connection - games can be very sensitive to this - have you tried connecting via ethernet to see if it is better? - however if your wireless speed is good too then it could be a ps3 issue and a call to their support might help - otherwise there could be interference issues, radio channel conflicts, etc. - without knowing the specific aspects of your entire network environment it is hard to make any more suggestions.

I have an Airport Express and the pass code I used some time ago for my IPad won't work for my new IPhone 5S?
If you are sure that you are entering the correct password, then this sounds like an iPhone issue, so your best bet will be to post in the iPhone Support Community so that the experts over there can help.
Using iPhone
The best that we can do here is suggest that you start with the iOS support document Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Networks and Connections.
Resetting the iPhone took care of an issue like this with my wife's iPhone.

Have 2x Airport Express, doesn't seem to be extending network
Hi all,
I have a Time Capsule and 2 Airport Express'. My configuration is as follows:
1. Time Capsule is in Office connected to ethernet DSL Router
2. Airport Express 1 in Living Room
3. Airport Express 2 in Conservatory
I bought the Airport Express' to extend the wireless signal (wirelessly - which I was told by somebody in an Apple Store I could do). All have been setup using the Airport Utility (the Time Capsule created a new network, Airport Express' to existing network) and have a solid green light. They are all acquiring an IP Address from the DSL Router correctly. I can see all 3 in the living room as this is the middle point. However, if I go into the Conservatory my Macbook Pro loses all signal. I can see my Network in the airport list but when I click on it, it asks for a password and then times out.
If somebody could help me with this problem I would be extremely grateful.
Many thanks for your help.Welcome to the discussions!
I assume that you have the AirPort Express(n) as the "g" version will not be compatible with the "extend a wireless network" function.
Here's a checklist to go through to make sure you have the proper settings:
_On the Time Capsule:_
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
Wireless Mode should be "Create a wireless network" (It's probably already set this way)
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update to save settings
_On each Express:_
Open AirPort Utility, Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode should be set to "Extend a wireless network". If you don't see this choice, hold down the "option" key when you click on the selection box
When you select "Extend.." your wireless network created by the TC will appear as a choice to extend. Select it and enter the wireless password.
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
Update to save settings.
Whenever you plug the Express in, it will automatically extend the main wireless network from the Base Station. The ethernet port is also "live" in this setup. But note...you cannot extend the "guest" network if you have a dual band Time Capsule.
For more info, refer to the Designing AirPort Networks guide, pages 43-44.

I have a jailbroked iphone,and it seems that it has some viruses how can I remove them from my iphone?
You have viruses because you jailbroke your phone, and now you're probably spreading them to other phones. Nice.
Jailbroken phones are generally bricked for good. Throw it away, it's junk. -
Sounds like, because my wife and I have separate Apple ID and separate iMacs, that we would not be able to use iTunes Match as a single unit/account?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are using different ID's for iTunes, then unfortunately you can't share an iTunes Match subscription. -
I have an iPhone 4 and for some reason I'm not able to update the software. I go to Settings then General but it doesn't even have a Software Update option. Am I missing something?
With iOS 4, the only way to update your software is connected to iTunes. OTA (over the air) updates were not available until iOS 5. You will need to connect your iPhone to a computer and use iTunes to download and install the iOS updates on your iPhone (at least until your iOS version is 5.0 or higher).

I have installed airport express on my Window 7 and had problem to find the airport express.
I solved the problem by turning off my AVG firewall and the airport tool found the airport express and it went steady green.
I then turned on the AVG firewall again and it continues ok.
But when I turn off and restarted my laptop I have to follow the same procedure.
The AVG firewall is set to All Allowed for the airport express.
Is there anybody out there that can give assistance to solve this problem?Hi,
I solved the problem myself by updating the Wi-fi driver.
Now it works perfect. -
TA21557 I have an Airport Express and get it get warmer than 40°C. Should I cool it externally?
Will the device break down?
The case is designed to dissipate internal heat, so the Express will run very warm. I have a few that are 5+ years old, so this is not an issue.
The rule of thumb is that if you cannot leave your hand on the device for more than 15-20 seconds, it is running too hot and you should take it to an Apple strore to let them evaluate the device.
You do want to give the Expess plenty of free airspace and try to avoid installing it in close quarters, like under a desk or behind a cabinet. If you have the ability to create some cooling, that certainly would not hurt. -
I have 3 Airport Expresses...can that help if I hook em up?
I have 3 airport Expresses...yes 3...My sons went hardwire and gave them to me....is this an advantage....can I set them up and increase my coverage in the far coner of the two story house?
How?
Thanks!Can I reset just one Airport express and then reconnect it to the one I use as the main.
Yes. Hold in the reset button on the Express for 7-8 seconds and allow a minute for it to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Now you can reconfigure the Express again. -
I need a transfer rate minimum of 9mbps. My AirPort express and 3DTV are on different floors, so I cannot directly connect with an ethernet cable. Can I buy an older AirPort express, use it as a bridge, and connect my TV to it via an ethernet cable?
Hi rockchalker,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For 802.11n Wi-Fi base stations, creating a roaming network is by far the best choice. This will provide the best throughput between the base stations and your Wi-Fi devices.
If you are unable to build the recommended Roaming network, then a Wirelessly Extended Network is the next best option.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
Wi-Fi base stations: Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations

I have an airport express and I want to change for airport extreme ; do i have something to do?
i want to change airport express for an airport extreme. Do I have something to do ?
You mean, besides purchase one and set it up? No, but changing your router is like a heart transplant for your network. For example, if you have network printers and they are working normally, you may just need to configure them again.
Be sure to power down your cable or DSL modem before connecting your new Extreme. AirPort Utility should configure it more or less automatically.
If you want to repurpose your Express to "extend" the network created by the Extreme or use it in some other way, Apple recommends performing a "hard reset" first and then reconfiguring it anew.
