I have the airport express and trying to connect to the internet on my Vizio and can't find a code to put in to connect..

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'm not sure what you mean. You can't find the express to set it up.. or you can't find the network created by the express?

  • HT4259 I am trying to connect airport express to extend the range of my airport tower. What type of cords do I need to connect the airport express to a hardwired outlet in the wall of a bedroom?

    I am trying to connect my airport express to extend the range of my network to a bedroom that is hard wired for internet. What type of cord/cords do I need to do that?

    You can connect the AirPort Express to the wall port in the bedroom for the setup.....but first....if you have not already done so.....it would be a great idea to make sure that the connection in the bedroom is working correctly.
    To do that, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop directly to the wall port in the bedroom using an Ethernet cable. Make sure that the laptop can get a good Internet connection that way.  If it can, this tells you that the cabling is working correctly, so the Express will work well when you connect it up.
    If you don't have a laptop with an Ethernet port, then we'll have to assume that the folks that pulled the cables and installed the jacks tested things as part of the installation.
    When you are ready to install the Express, you can use an iPhone or iPad if you have one handy for the setup.

  • I have a Time Capsule as my main WiFi router in my home.  I'd like to extend my WiFi service to my guest house located approx 100 feet away. Will the AirPort Express fill this need?  Is the AirPort Extreme a better fit?

    I am using a Time Capsule in conjunction with my IMAC 27" system as my main WiFi router in my home.  I would like to extend my WiFi service to my guest house which is located about 100 feet away.  Can I use the Airport Express to provide this extended range?  Would I be better served to use the Airport Extreme?  Thanks!

    The normal location for an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme is a point that is about half way between the main router....the Time Capsule in this case.....and the area that needs more wireless coverage.....the guest house.
    I doubt that you will be able to locate an AirPort at this "half way" point, correct?
    Before you buy anything, take a laptop, iPhone, iPad, etc out to the guest house as a test to see if you can log on and get a reliable Internet connection over the wireless.
    If you can, then either an AirPort Express or AirPort Exreme could  be used to provide additional wireless signal coverage in the guest house.
    If you cannot get a reliable connection with the "test" mentionded above, neither AirPort will help since they can only "extend" the quality of signal that they receive. 
    If this is the case, you will need to look at running an Ethernet cable from the Time Capsule out to the guest house to provide the reliable connection that you will need.

  • The airport express needs to be plugged into the modem to work?

    I already have a wifi device plugged to my modem I was trying to get a wifi extension signal to the other room. I boguht the airport express expecting to get wifi signal without having to plug it to the modem. Is that possible?

    As I said....
    The AirPort Express can "extend" the wireless signal of another Apple product....an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another Express......using wireless only.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have a minimum of two Apple routers if you want to be able to "extend a wireless network".
    The Express will not be able to extend the signal of your Xfinity modem/router using wireless only. It should be able to "join" the wireless network if you want to connect a remote printer or use AirTunes. But, the Express will not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it "joins" a wireless network.
    You will need to plan to connect the AirPort Express back to your Xfinity modem/router using a wired Ethernet connection if you want the Express to provide more wireless signal coverage for your network.

  • I want to use the Airport Express to play my iTunes through the house

    I moved into a house that has speakers throughout the house.  The speaker cables from the speakers are terminated in one location in the basement entertainment area.  One thought is to hook up the speaker cables to a speaker selector to setup zones in the house.  However, I would like to integrate the Airport Express device to this.  It would be awesome to be able to play my iTunes library through the house.  I see that there is a 3.5mm output from the Airport Express.  Does anyone have a recommendation on how I might be able to set this up?  Do I have to buy a stereo receiver that takes the 3.5mm output from the Airport Express and then hook the receiver up to a speaker selector?  Any thoughts or tips would be greatly appreciated. 

    One option is to get an AV receiver that supports both whole-house connectivity and AirPlay. You would connect all of your speakers to this receiver. The receiver would control which rooms get sound. In turn, you would stream from any AirPlay-ready device to the receiver. You can also substitute an AV receiver that does not support AirPlay directly. In this case, you would connect an AirPort Express to the receiver's digital optical audio port and send the streams to the Express instead.

  • Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access?  Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

    Thanks for the help.  Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible.  Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it? 
    I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located.  Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet.  Thanks for the help.

    If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

  • I can't get a green light on the airport express.  I went to the store and he said my BT router is probably blocking the extension of the network.  He said I could put the serial number of the router straight into the browser, then it would give me d

    My BT homehub is blocking the extension of my wireless network via the airport express, so I don't get a greenlight.  The guy in the store said to put the wireless number direct into the browser and it would then give me directions as to how to unlock the BT network.  But when I do that nothing happens, so I still have no idea how to unlock and extend the wireless network.  Any ideas?

    If you are trying to extend the wireless network provided by the BT Home Hub with the AirPort Express, this won't work as the two are not WDS compatible.

  • I have an airport express, which I want to use with my broadband providers router to create a second wireless access point but not with the same network name etc.

    In effect, I want to have my providers router working upstairs and the aiport express downstairs connected via wi fi. The airport would have a different network name, then allowing me to connect the children to the access point. This would allow me to turn their network off at times of day etc.
    any ideas ?

    I want to have my providers router working upstairs and the aiport express downstairs connected via wi fi
    Sorry, but the AirPort Express....or any other Apple router......cannot do this.
    In order to do what you want, you will need to establish an Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on your "main" router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express.
    Configure the AirPort Express to "create a wireless network" using a wireless network name, and password that you select. As far as controlling connections, you can use the settings in Timed Access to establish rules about when the kids and cannot connect.

    Hello 84wvu,
    It sounds like you want to setup your Airport Express to Airplay music from iTunes.  I found an article with steps to help you get this setup:
    Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, exclusively for iTunes music
    AirPort Express used exclusively for AirPlay by setting it up in Client Mode.
    Choose this configuration if the computer containing your iTunes library may be out of direct range of the AirPort Express, but is within range of the Wi-Fi network.
    How to Set It Up
    Connect your AirPort Express to your home stereo or powered speakers.
    From your computer, join the wireless network. Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar on a Mac. On a Windows-based computer, hold the pointer over the wireless connection icon until you see your AirPort network name (SSID), and choose it from the list if there are multiple networks available. Enter the network password, if necessary.
    Open iTunes on your computer and choose the AirPort Express(es) you wish to stream music through from the speakers pop-up menu in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window.
    I also recommend reviewing the sections titled "Some things you should know about AirPort Express with AirPlay" and "Things to consider before you begin" in the full article:

  • HT1126 Can I connect the Airport Express directly to my wireless router?

    The old owner of my house set the Air port for my use, gave me a password ... when I tried it, the password never worked.
    DO not want to lose my old wireless system as it allows me to do more than just the Air Port.
    should I reset the system?

    can i connect the airport express into an ethernet port in the wall
    I assume you are asking about obtaining an Internet connection here.
    First, temporarily turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop to the Ethernet wall jack with an Ethernet cable. Can you log on to the Internet this way?
    If yes, then you can connect an AirPort Express to this Ethernet port and configure it to provide a wireless signal for multiple devices.
    If no, then you can connect the Express, but you will not have an Internet connection.

  • Will the airport express solve my playstation 3 drama???

    Hello. I am in dire need of assistance with getting connected to the playstation network. Here's my situation. My wife and I rent the inlaw suite (apartment) connected to my wife's grandmothers house. Currently we have FIOS for our internet. The FIOS modem/router is in the main part of the house down in the basement. I am able to connect to the internet with my macbook on our network, however my ps3 slim struggles to receive 35-40% signal strength and will not connect. Two nights ago, it actually, successfully passed both the obtaining an IP address, and connecting to the internet tests, but timed out after trying to get the 3.15 system update. Today I purchased a Belkin Wireless N router in hopes of finally being able to enjoy online gaming. No such luck. The guy at bestbuy suggested the Belkin, however after reading a few forums and speaking to someone at Sony, I found out that playstation doesn't support N routers. Only B and G. So, my question to the people out there is this...what router should I get that is easy to setup, given my arrangements? If I purchased the airport express, would I be able to connect my ps3 to either my exsisting network, or a new network on its own?
    Thank you for any and all help
    Bryan

    Welcome to the discussions!
    The AirPort Express would not be compatible with the Fios router to "extend" or "boost" the wireless signal, so no help on that front.
    The Express can "join" a wireless network and provide an ethernet signal at its port to in theory, if the Playstation accepts an ethernet connection, you could connect that way. The big downside here is that the Express will have a weak wireless signal to receive and some of the signal will be lost in the conversion to ethernet, so I would not recommend this approach.
    If the Playstation will accept an ethernet connection, you might take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters. One device would plug into an AC socket near the Fios router and the other plugs into AC near the Playstation. The AC wiring in your home transmits the ethernet signal. This would provide a much stronger and faster signal than wireless.
    Best of all would be run an ethernet cable directly from the Fios router to the Playstation, but this is probably not feasible. Powerline would be the next best bet.

  • Is the Airport express Ethernet port input only?

    I am thinking of the airport express to stream audio now that the iPad supports airplay, but am wondering if the ethernet port is useful. I think that the Airport can connect to my existing wifi, and I have the audio interface, so far so good! But I also have a gaming adapter that takes the wifi signal and outputs it through an ethernet cable to my DVR, I am wondering if I can redeploy the gaming adapter

    If you configure current model the AirPort Express to "join" a wireless network for AirTunes/AirPlay, you can also enable the ethernet port if you wish so an ethernet device can connect. If you need more than one ethernet port for devices, you can attach an ethernet switch to the Express.

  • Using the Airport Express to connect iPod Touch to internet

    I'm getting an iPod Touch for Christmas but I don't have a wireless router.
    How exactly do I connect through the Airport Express?
    Do I just plug it into a wall socket and plug my Ethernet cable into it?

    You own an Airport Express and use it for Wlan?
    If this is the case just connect to your wlan via the new Ipod touch.
    What you can't do:
    Use your Airport Express without any connection to a dsl-line or another router that is connected to the net. It would be helpful if you could describe your complete setup.
