I have changed my DSL router and my Airport express device doesn' work anymore

Hello, After I changed my DSL router (from my internet provider, it's a netgear), my Airport Express doesn't work anymore. It shows a yellow light.
I have tried to unplug several times with no success. The Airport utility on my Mac (running MacOS 10.6.8) doesn't discover it.
Any idea?

Unplug the AirPort Express from power
Wait a minute
Hold in the reset button on the Express and keep holding it in for an additional 7-8 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart and come back up to a slow blinking amber light.
Now the Express is back to factory settings
Look for a wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxxx. You have to log on to that network first....no password is required.....then open AirPort Utility

Can AEBS, wired Airport Express and WDS Airport Express devices be mixed?

I have been using an AEBS and three Airport Expresses (non N)in a WDS network using mixed b/g/n with two b/g mac minis, a b/g/n macbook and a b/g macbook for several years but have noticed the speed and reliability flucuating. I wish to do more music streaming and would like to improve the speed and reliabilty.
I have cat5 in several locations in the house.
Can I use the AEBS as a base wired to two Airport Expresses in different parts of the house(probably set as bridge) to extend my wireless g network and stream music to fixed points and then extend the network (?wds) with a non wired Express near one of the wired Express devices?
Thanks
Jim

My Macbook with "n" runs on the 5ghz network...it must be pulling that directly from the AEBS.
So I would guess that your AEBS is actually a simultaneous dual-band 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) ... correct? If so, then it would certainly make sense that the MacBook is connected to its 5 GHz radio.
My wired AXs will be in two very different areas of the house. Is it possible to wire them as bridges, then set each as a WDS base to extend to their local area?
I assume that you intend to create two different WDSs ... correct? If so, this should be possible. You will need at least four AXs to do so. Each WDS would have the main base station connected to the AEBSn by Ethernet; configured as a bridge, and as the main in the WDS. For each of the mains, you would have another AX configured as the remote.
Since the mains are both configured as bridges, all wireless clients connected to either WDS should be able to see clients connected to either WDS or the AEBSn.

I have a "n" time capsule and "g" airport express

Hi, I'm trying to extend the range of my Airport Time Capsule (1st generation "n"). I have a "g" Airport Express and I've been trying to set it up as a remote base station (or do I mean "relay"?) to strengthen the signal in a distant room. It's not working! Is the problem that you can't use a "g" express with an "n" Time Capsule??? Do I need to buy an "n" Express, or is there something I'm doing wrong?

I'd suggest reading the Designing Airport Networks manual. There is a section on setting up a WDS with a Time Capsule and an Airport Express.

Anybody have experience with Directv receivers and an airport express?

Specifically, I have 3 HR24-500's connected to the whole home DVR service. I want to connect them to the internet. I have an Airport Time Capsule as my router and I also have an airport express ready to go but cant seem to configure everything to work together. The airport express is working as it currently brings an internet connection to all of my other components via a 4 port switch but I cant seem to get the DVR to work. It shows its connected to the network but no internet. Im very frustrated. Please help.
Thank you in advance.

The Internet hook up should have been performed by the DirectTV installer. There is a specific procedure for this involving the Whole Home equipment.
It would probably be best to have a DirectTV installer hook this up for you, but the Direct TV help forums might be able to provide you with a step by step procedure.
http://forums.directv.com/
A note of caution...the Whole Home setup is not supported over a wireless connection. There's just not enough bandwidth available over a wireless connection to provide reliable high definition video performance. The DirectTV installer will not hook up the Internet connection unless it is hard wired back to your main router using an Ethernet or special Co-Ax connection.

Is it possible Cisco E1000 as a Host Router and my airport express as extender without ethernet cable?

i have my cisco E1000 as a router at the moment, just bought airport express for an extender.
is it possible to do it? thx guys

No, not unless you connect the two with an Ethernet cable and configure the Express as a bridge.
Consider replacing the Cisco router with the Express. The Express conveys advantages over the E1000.

Not sure how to use linksys wired router and using Airport Express as bridg

Hey, thanks for any help.
I now own a Linksys BEFSR41 Cable Router. I was told earlier that I could connect the modem to this router and then to the wireless AEBS. I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this bridge thing. Also if anyone has any experience with this linksys router with a mac.
Thanks a lot!

all good, thanks though!

Actiontec wireless router and my Airport Express?

Can I get them to link together? I recentely switched to a Fiber Optic service which provided this Actiontec wireless router I believe it's model # MI 424 WR

The AirPort Express (AX) can only be used to join your wireless network. Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

New Airport Extreme and Older Airport Express No Longer Works

I recently bought a new Airport Extreme base station. Now the Airport Express that I've had for a number of years no longer works, flashing amber. It shows up under the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar, but when I try to follow Apple's instructions for configuring it, I get this message:
"This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support."
I then tried downloading and installing Airport Utility 5.6 on my MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.7.4) and received this error message: "AirPort Utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported."
I then turned to my IPad, which also detected the Airport Express under Wi-Fi Settings but returned a message when I tried to set it up that the Airport Express couldn't be set by this software and re-directed me to the support web site.
While we have an Apple TV unit, I used the Airport Express to stream music directly to our stereo from my MacBook and IPad and Phone and would love to be able to continue to do so. Has anyone found a workaround for this problem, or will I be forced to buy a new Airport Express as well?
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Steve

I then tried downloading and installing Airport Utility 5.6 on my MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.7.4) and received this error message: "AirPort Utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported."
I just tried this on my MacBook Pro running 10.7.4 and had no problems downloading and installing AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
AirPort Utility 5.6.1 will not install on a Mac running Lion....only Snow Leopard or Leopard.
Can you check again to make sure that you are trying to install 5.6 and not 5.6.1?

Do I really have to buy a router to use Airport Express?

I want to use my AX for USB printing and Airtunes, not networking. But it won't work unless it gets an IP address assigned to it, which can only be done while it is connected to a wired network via Ethernet cable. (This is not mentioned in the manual nor in online help, but it's true.) It cannot be setup wirelessly unless it's a network access point. I don't ned a wireless access point, I just want to be able to print.
I don't use a router; my Mac is directly connected to a DSL modem via Ethernet, and there are no other Ethernet ports on the modem. How can I connect my Mac and AX to the Ethernet so I can configure it? Is a hub sufficient? Or does the AX really require a router to be configured?
Or do I have to set it up as a wireless access point? In that case, will remote printing and AirTunes still work?

I had almost the same setup at one time. I just used the AE setup utility and it worked fine. If I remember correctly, the setup utility allows you to talk to the AE via the macs built in airport card. I don't think I connected to the AE with a cable, but honestly don't recall. If you have to do that for a setup, just disconnect from the dsl temporarily. Plug the mac and AE together via ethernet and setup from there.
I didn't have a usb printer connected, but otherwise that's how I set it up and it all worked.....until I added a second computer and a wireless router, now airTunes wouldn't work if I had Steve Jobs himself wired in directly.
AirTunes and AE seems to be a big mess that Apple just can't, or hasn't tried to, get right. For the most simple setup, one straight wireless connection from mac to AE, it works okay, otherwise it's a can of worms.

Attempted to set up an HP wireless printer and my whole network is now a mess. HP help told me I had too many signals, as I have a Time Capsule 4 Macs and 4 Airport Express set up. Anyone else figure this out?

I attempted to set up a new HP wireless printer. It is unstable and HP support says I have too many devices since I have a time capsule and 4 airport express either extending my network or being used for a different printer or stereos. Anyone else find that their Airport Express/Extreme interferes with a wireless printer. If so, what's the point?

I have a similar model, the HP 8500A here in the home office that I originally hooked up using wireless on an AirPort system consisting of an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule and 2 AirPort Express devices.
The HP was originally hooked up to the "main" router using wireless as a test to see how wireless would perform. No issues with setup or performance over the first few weeks. I did eventually change the device to connect using Ethernet once I had room to move the device near the AirPort Extreme.
HP is pulling your leg with the advice about too many devices. The AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule will handle up to 50 wireless devices. In my case, I did nothing except follow the setup procedure and restart the entire network....something that I always do when I make any change to the network.

I have an Apple TV and an Airport Express, can I use these to stream all audio from either my iPhone or my MacBook Pro, including Pandora?

I have purchased an Apple TV and an Airport Express as a gift for a loved one and was under the impression that these two would not only allow for movies, videos etc would be streamed to the TV from my MacBook Pro, but also set up Airport Express with speakers and stream music from my laptop or iPhone. Is there a way for all music, including Pandora, to be streamed through the Airport Express? I can only figure out how it works with iTunes, not Pandora.
Thanks for the help!!!

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. the wireless light has a fast green blinking light. how can I fix the router?

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I am unable to connect to the internet wirelessly. The wireless light is blinking green very quickly and I connect and disconnect from the network constantly. How do I get the router to work properly

Hello James,
The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
Hope this helps,
Thanks
Vijay

I have a 5 year old Dell PC and purchased the Airport Express last year. After one of the iphone 4s updates I lost the contact and cannot reestablish. I have even tried to hard wire from my router to the airport express and I cannot connect.

I have a 5 year old Dell PC and purchased Airport Express last year. I used my iphone 4s to connect and it has been working until recently I lost connection after one of the iphone updates. I cannot make contact with the unit. I have even used an ethernet cable that I hooked to my router and still won't work. I cantinually get this message from Airport Utility. An error has occurred and I can not do anything else.

If you have the AirPort Express setup in Bridge Mode, try changing the Connection Sharing setting to "Share a public IP address"
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Update
You will probably get a message about a Double NAT error. Click to "ignore"
This setting might allow mutliple devices to connect and may not. It's worth a try...I have about a 60-70% success rate at hotels with this setting.
Unfortunately, as you note....hotels have become a lot smarter about connections to their network. At some point, they probably will not even allow another router to connect at all.
