I have to keep recycling my airport express

I have the latest Airport Express every once in a while I have to unplug it and let it reset itself and then I can go back on line
Is ther anything I can do to stop this problem
And does the Express have to turn on all the time?

Hi akurwelnz7,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are intermittently not able to connect to the internet until you power cycle your Airport Express. If this behavior continues, I recommend performing a hard reset on the Airport using the steps in this article:

Hard reset: Perform this reset for troubleshooting and resolving problems with an unresponsive device, or to troubleshoot network accessibility issues.

Why do i have to keep resetting my airport express

every time I use my airport express I have to reset each airport base. why is this? They both say they are connected to my wi-fi but the computer can't find them.

Does the game has the same iOS requirements that your phone has? Games needing iOS7 will not install on iOS6 and earlier.
Did you try to download it to your computer and sync it to your phone after that?
If you can't connect to the iTunes Store, try these suggestions:

The ZyXEL P-2601HN-F1, as you know, is a combination DSL modem & 802.11n wireless router (or gateway device).
For your goal you will want to take a look at this Apple Support article for details on how to configure an AX for iTunes.
If you are still having difficulties with the AX joining the ZyXEL's wireless network, you can try the following:
Temporarily disable wireless encryption.
If you are hidding the SSID, disable that feature.
Change the Mode Select setting to: 802.11g Only
Change the Channel Selection from "Auto" to a set channel, like 1, 6, or 11

Why have apple not launced new airport express 802.11ac version

Why have apple not launced new airport express 802.11ac version, when recently launching new Airport Extreme Base Station and new Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac versions?
Do you think they will launch one soon as wanting to extend my WI-FI network but don't want to purchase current Airport Express 802.11n version if a new model is due to be on sale in the near future as would prefer latest models/technology.
Please advise
Regards
Dave

Sorry, but no one here on a user-to-user support forum will be able to tell you what a notoriously secretive company like Apple will do or when they might do it. We are all users.....just like you.
You would need to ask Apple about this, although I would be very surprised if you get an answer with any real information.

i have a 6 yr old airport express. im using windows xp home edition. i cant get my computer to recognize my a.e. suggstions?

Was the AirPort Express previously working with the PC using XP?
What service does the Express perform on your nework?
Is the indicator light on the AirPort Express green, slow blinking amber, or solid amber?
Please tell us about any troubleshooting steps that you have already performed, and what happened after each step.

I have just bought a new Airport express

I have just bought a new Airport express and I what to connect it to an exicting router. The router is not any Apple device. How can I expand my internet signals? My Mac can not find the new Airport express.

The AirPort Express cannot wirelessly extend the signal of a 3rd party router, if that is what you are asking about here.
If you can connect the AirPort Exrpress to a LAN <-> port on your router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, the Express can be configured to provide additional wireless signal coverage that way.
Please clarify on what you are trying to accomplish. It would help if we knew what operating system your Mac was using as well.

I have a time capsule and airport express one floor lower, the signal keeps dropping. Would an airport extreme give me a longer range for wifi?

I have several computers. My equipment is upstairs in a house, apple time capsule and downstairs airport express. Lately the downstairs computer keeps disconnecting from the internet. Would replacing the airport express with and airport extreme give me a greater range for my wifi connections?

Yes. Question is... would the difference be enough.
The extreme has a bigger & more powerful antena array. But if that alone still doesn't suffice, you also have the option to use the express to EXTEND from the Extreme.

Trouble with keeping connection with Airport express

Hi,
I've got 5-6 year old airport express which gives me some troubles. It has worked for months but recently it just disappeared from Airfoil and when I looked up the settings it said that it wasn't installed.
I tried to reinstall it several times without success. When I used old versions of the program it worked for a few days. And then the same thing happened, it disappeared from airfoil and I had to reinstall it again.
Could it be so that this old model of airport express is in conflict with my Mac Os Leopard system so it keeps forcing my airport settings to go off? Is there a solution to it so I don't have to reinstall it every now and then?
Thanks for your help
Regards Henrik

I need to share a wireless connection to a old powermac that does not have a wifi card. I have an airport express that is connected "join wireless network" mode, and I have run an ethernet cable from the express to the G5. However, I am not getting a internet connection on the G5 (the rest of the wireless network works fine).
If you launch AirPort Utility, put your AirPort Express into "manual setup" mode, then view the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, have you checked "Allow Ethernet clients"?
I am wondering if I should have the express set up in one of the other "wireless mode" options such as, "participate in a WDS network"? What exactly is a WDS network anyway?
WDS is for pre-802.11n equipment. You don't want to use it unless you have to.
If I click on "internet" in Airport Utility, go to the airport express, I see that "connection sharing is set to, "Off (bridge mode)" and grayed out.
What exactly is "bridge mode".
"Bridge mode" delegates control to the "upstream" router. In your case that's what you want.

Itunes 10.4 and Lion 10.7 create remote speakers not to keep connection using Airport Express

MACBOOK with 10.5.8, then 10.6.8 and today 10.7...Lion
There is a major problem regarding the connection to remote speekers with Itunes 10.4 and Airport Express using LION OS X. This is a problem I never encountered before, nor with 10.5.8 or 10.6.8.
Please correct that problem.

Hi,
At you question : Lynksys 160-wr ore something....
This is something above my capabilities.
The way that tab is configured is AUTOMATIC.
Trying to do it manually require IP for rouer, and I dont't know how to get it, even if I perfectly know what an IP address is.
It is also required to enter IPV6 address, and there to I am lost.
Lastly there is the last tab, amaller bar that I don't know.
May be explain in what way, having this manually entered is different that automatic would make me understand correctly. Then, may be indicate how to get these info to fill in.
But, I can say that I am now using APPLE TV-2, and that the first Lion 10.7 patch seems to have solved this.

I have no lights on my airport express

1 year old Airport Express...
I had it plugged in and disconnected a cable. Now I can not get it to turn back on. The only light that sometimes blinks a quick red is within the headphone jack port. Other then that it is seemingly dead. No connect with wifi or Ethernet. I've performed a reset, soft reset and hard reset. No bueno! Any ideas?

Unfortunately, all there is left to do is try a Factory Default Reset as follows:
Power down the Express
Wait a few minutes
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the Express to restart
If the Express is operational, the amber light will stay solid for 30-40 seconds and then begin to slowly blink amber
If this does not occur, the Express is defective and will need to be replaced

Macbook airport card keeps swapping between airport express stations

Hi
i have set up a network with 4 airport expresses.1 is the WDS main and is connected to the internet, 2 is configured as a relay with no client access, 3 is a client of the relay and is wired for airtunes, 4 is a remote and allows client connections.
Everything works except i noticed constant drop outs on all machines.
I ran AP grapher and i can see that Airport is connecting to 4 remote station with very strong signal and then for no reason switches automatically to the 1 base station and back again after a few minutes. The signal for the base station in ap grapher is -66 vs -39 for the remote station.
why does airport switch like this? Is there a way i can make it lock on the strongest signal or specific mac address?
Thanks for anyone's help.

try removing, then replacing the airport card in your comp

Most printers are supported by the AirPort Express. There is no definitive list.

I have an older 802.11g Airport Express - How do I update?

The current Airport Utility does not support it. The articles say I need to use the old Airport Admin Utility and/or a pre-version 6 version of the Airport Utility. I cannot install these on an iMac with Mavericks. The system won't install them. Any ideas on how to install/use these old utilitities?

I have an iPad 2 connected to airport express so that I can play and change music whilst I am teaching ballet class. Recently, I keep losing connection and the airport express gets quite hot. I have alway used Archos but changed to Apple for reliability!

I have an ipad 2 with airport express that I use to play and change music whilst teaching ballet class. Recently, I keep losing connection and the airport express appears to be getting quite hot. I did use Archos but changed to Apple for reliabilty! Can anyone help or should I just buy a new airport express.

I agree that it's probably interference. Only other possibility, since you mentioned it, it overheating. Is the express situated so that it is well ventilated? That is to say, not buried under other equipment and laying on its side? What does the status light do when you lose connection?
