Sorry, but there is no current solution for this. For now iOS (iPhone, iPad, & iPod Touch) devices can only stream to one AirPlay device at a time.

ITunes Automatically Change EQ Setting Based On Which Airport Express Streaming? I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different

I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different EQ setting to sound just right. Does anyone know of a way to have iTunes automatically change its EQ setting based on which Airport Express it is streaming to?

I'm in the same boat. I have a 6 zone amplifier running with 6 airport expresses to different rooms inside and outside the house. Each has it's own acoustic characteristics. I'd really love to be able to set each airport to equalize based on my SPL frequency sweep I did for each room.
Setting the eq in itunes won't do it as that is global plus I have many more sources for auiod other than itunes that use the AEs directly.

I have two airport express base stations that I want to configure on two separate sets of speakers in two separate rooms. How do I do this? Airport Utility only seems to scan one express at a time.

I am currently running a PowerPC G5 imac and have a wired broadband modem via ethernet with airport wireless network turned on, on the G5. I have the computer in the bedroom and have an airport express wired into a mixer that connects to my stereo. I have recently bought another airport express base station to connect to a pair of active monitors in the kitchen. When I try to scan these on Airport Utility version 5.42 I am only managing to scan one base unit at a time. I have plugged them in separately and reset them, they both have firmware updates, however the utility will only read one at once. I have read that you can link base stations to the same WDS. I would like to know how to go about doing this if it will only scan one airport express at a time. I have looked it up on the net and not found anything that is a simple fix. Can anyone help? In Apple Support it says that multiple Base Stations can be used. I would like to get both Apple Airport Express units to be able play airtunes separately or at the same time depending where I am in my flat. I do not need different music in each room. I would like to stream music from the computer to multiple rooms in the flat without having to continually unplug and configure the Base Stations. Has anyone come across such a challenge? Any help would be welcome.

How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
Launch the AirPort Utility.
Select the AX.
If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

Two Airport Express no longer playing AirPlay?

Hi all,
I've had two Airport Express devices for about 3 years now, they all work fine as access points, have been kept up to date with firmware etc. but since a couple of months ago or so (I don't exactly know when, I've been away for some time) any attempt at playing from iTunes on my 2010 macbook pro fail with "connection timed out" problems. The airport express can be seen and managed just fine in the configuration utility. I even tried using a second airport express with the same result.
Nothing has changed in my network or computer hardware, the only changes have been updates to mountain lion (after which it still worked I should add) and the usual itunes updates.
Is this Apple scheming me into buying new hardware?
Cheers

some times the electricity blinks in the house... have you tried restarting both units... just unplug it for ten seconds then plug back in.

I have two Airport Express units. Can I use one to extend the range of the other?

The similar questions that I have found on this site refer to extending an Airport Extreme with an Airport Express. But can you also extend an Airport Express with another Airport Express?

But can you also extend an Airport Express with another Airport Express?
Any Apple "n" router....AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or Time Capsule....can be used to extend the signal of another.
Now, we just need to figure out if you have two "n" Expresses that will work together. Are these brand new units?
If not, check the model number on the side of the device. You need to see A1264 there. If you see A1084 or A1088, these models will not qualify as "n" Expresses.

Using Airport Express / Airtunes to play audio from Safari / OSX?

Just bought my first Airport Express. Can I use Airport Express / Airtunes to play out audio from Safari / OSX (or other applications) to my home stereo?

Hi Fenneberg:
Welcome to Apple Discussions and congrats on your AE purchase!
You'll need a 3rd application to stream music to your AE from other applications like Safari. It's called Airfoil and it can be found at: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/
I hope this helps!

Airport Express no longer playing audio from iTunes (airtunes) or Airfoil

My Airport Extreme recently died so I set up a new wireless network with my 2wire modem from AT&T (Uverse). The new wireless network is fine - laptop connects just fine, Apple TV hasn't had any issues, Netflix through my PS3 hasn't had any problems. However, I'm having problems with the Airport Express in my bedroom. It shows up in airport utility with a green light. It has a green light on the unit itself. It shows up in the multiple speakers pop up in iTunes and shows up in Airfoil's list of available speakers. The problem is whenever I connect to it (from iTunes or Airfoil) it plays audio for one second, then nothing.
It worked fine with my old network set up. It doesn't seem to be a connectivity issue as I can see it with no problems and things connect to it fine. Is it possible that it just happen to die at the same time that the Airport Extreme died? So when I set up the new wireless network, it was dead? I'm on 10.7.4.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can Two Airport Express be connected to an Airport Extreme?

I have two Airport Express units and one Airport Extreme. One of the Airport Exp's is working to extend the Wi-Fi network for 8702.11b-g and I'd like to use the other to connect a Samsung Blue Ray via the ethernet port. Can the Extreme support two Express units in a mixed mode like I'm describing? The second isn't being recognized by the Airport Utility.
Below is my Mac environment.
(2) MacBook Pro's one with OSX10.7 and the other 10.6
(2) iPhone 4gs
(1) iPad 2
(2) Airport Express 1st gen (extending the wireless network) and 2nd gen I what to connect to the Samsung
(1) Airport Exteme Base station
Thanks for your help in advance.

As in other similr threads re the airport utility 5.6 is only one that can see all variants of airports as old as Graphite/Snow while 6.0 makes nice pics it won't see them to you get the WDS Remote airport ids set up in your main base router and vice versa-your main extreme base should be set up to run in 802.11b/g/n mode or g/n if oldest is 802.11g...other than that the only pain is airport express dongle routers are buggy, need firmware to be at least 6.0 inside them, not the airport util, and you are better off setting up manually as the tools do not set up WDS correctly without starting from scratch rebooting and resetting most all the routers- which if you just cant get going you might try...be sure you put primary extreme base main as the main router as "participating in WDS network" then the other 2 can simply be manually configured with same net name base main has and passwords and also you must install the airport ids (Mac address of the wifi ports which is usually 1 less than the airport ehternet mac address)... once you put in the exxpresses or older routers as extend a WDS NETWORK as a Remote (not a relay) you can definitely do what you state---you can hang your device off one of them via ethernet or USB and or wifi client and attach others as wiffi clients-unless you explcitly state which Macnooks will connect via access control ;osts of upi enab;e access cpmytp;(but then you need to add every devices MAC address in to whichever touter you want them to be able to be a client of-a pain but makes the most secure and traffic shaped network if you are limited on your wan port speed--i have 25/25 FIOS and get all of it direct eithernet to the main express and almost all near the exrress main within like 50 feet but I have to extend my net about 120 tp 150 foot radius around the main extreme 802.11n bae so I do exactly what you ask if you can do--with an express and an old Snow--and works pretty well surprisingly except the Snow goes belly up every couple days needs a power cylce--i am cheap so i will do it til it dies...you can just roam as I do with your laptops about your home then and link up to the nearest remote WDS airport or wind up on the extreme if you wander into the hub area...
--Not recommending this but if if you are very compulsive and usually use similar iPads or books in same rooms always and dont move them around much from the rooms they get used in (or if you just dont have enough coverage and are Wan limited on speed) you can specify each laptops Mac address so only those will bind to the wifi ports on say the older or slowest router-keep in mind that each remote adds a hope and so essentially cuts speed to 50 percent but I still get 16 mb/sec with a SNOW extending my 802.11n Edtreme base as a remote and I can get about 20 mb/sec on the other remote router express dongle (hate the things-had 2 break on me forever)....but like the airtuunes feature even though usually I use Apple TV to play music on steeo as its the old one with memory--great deal at 499 now 99-doh! good luck hope i made sense..

Airport Extreme with Two Airport Express Stations

Alright... It's been a while since I turned to the community for help, but here I go.
I've got an Airport Extreme Base Station (Dual Band) purchased a little over 1 year ago. I also have two Airport Express Base Stations (Let's call them AX 1 and AX 2 for short) purchased in the last 6 months. I am trying to configure everything as follows. Wireless signal originates from AEBS in one corner of the house, gets picked up by AX 1 downstairs, and then broadcast to AX 2 upstairs which in turn broadcasts the network to our computers upstairs. Instead what is happening is that it goes AEBS > AX 1 and then AX 2 acts as a client only to AX 1 and will not extend the signal any further. I've been trying to use the default "Extend a network" option, avoiding the WDS setup because i've read that WDS will drop everything to 802.11g instead of 802.11n. Is this true?
Signal in the house is fairly poor and I can't move the AEBS from where it is due to wiring constraints with the cable modem.
Any help would be appreaciated! I'm just trying to get decent 802.11n coverage throughout all the house :/

I believe that "extending" a network can only use one "hop", so that you can't have AX 2 extend the network from AX 1. WDS would allow you to have one AX as a "relay" and the other as a "remote", but as you mention, there's a performance penalty for that.

That may actually be your best option. Consider using PowerLine devices to "extend" the Ethernet connection between your broadband modem and your AEBS:

Then put the AEBS near the center of your house and if needed, configure each AX to extend the network from the AEBS.

Two airport express not seen by iPhone

I have two airport express units in my house. They partecipate in my home wifi network. From my iMac (10.7.4) I see them without problems both from the airport utility (6.1) which shows them having version 7.6.1 firmware. From the iMac they also appear as speakers in iTunes.
Problem is that from my iPhone 4S running IOS 5.1.1 neither the airport utility, nor Music, show those aiirport express units (the iPhone for all others uses is correctly connected to the home network).
Same happens from my wife's iPhone 4 running 5.1.1
What can I try ?
PS With previous software levels things used to work flawlessly. Now even the playback from the iMac's iTunes from times to times drops the connection. This is fixed by closing iTunes and restrting it.

Problem solved. It was my wireless router setup which had an option to prevent wireless devices connecting to exchange data between themselves. Deselecting this option made the iphone see the airports after I inactivated IPv6 networking.

Two Airport express. only one at a time able to stream music....

I have one Airport express feeding me the internet from the office. this unit has no speakers conected to it.
the second unit is in the living room and i want to send music to that one.
when i select the living room airport express i can't go online.
when i select the office unit i can't stream music to the
HiFi.....
I have downloaded AIRFOIL (3rd party app) to fix this but it can only connect to the airport express that i have select on the menu bar.
i hope this makes sense to someone out there
Thanks for your time.

Airport Express Intermittent loss of signal from iTunes

My setup has been in place for some time and consists of a Windows machine w/iTunes and an Airport Express connected to my main stereo. Throughout mutliple iterations of iTunes S/W version and Aiport Express Firmware versions, it seems that there are certain versions that were very stable and others that were not. The current iTunes version seems to have this problem regularly and the problem is this - As I'm listening to music streaming from iTunes wirelessly to the Airport Express and to my stereo, it seems to lose connectivyt momentarily and then regain it. I have two Airport Expresses and they both react the same. This is very frustrating. Has anyone else encountered this and is there a solution?
Thanks,
Howard

Solved it!
I tried everything - re-installing Airport Firmware, Airfoil, Robustness Interference, passwords for the remote speakers....
It kept nagging at me that the drops were often regular at every 60 seconds and Windows Zero Configuration reportedly checks for a stronger signals every 60 seconds.
So today I tried installing the Manufacturer's Wireless Utility and disabling Microsoft's Windows Zero Configuration. This worked perfectly - no more dropouts.
As before iTunes7 never had the problem - it started with iTunes8 - I assume iTunes8 is less able to buffer network dropouts.
I have spent a lot of time on this - but I am very happy to have working music again.....

Using iTunes to play music on two Airport Expresses simultaneously

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to set up a system where iTunes 7.0 on my Windows 2000 PC can play simultaneously to two Airport Expresses.
I've set up the first AE (call it AE1) by connecting it to my LAN with an Ethernet cable; it appears in the Base Station Chooser and I can find it and set it up. I set it up to 'Create a wireless network' and check both boxes in the iTunes tab, and give it an iTunes speaker name. At this point, everything's happy: I can see AE1 in iTunes, and play music to the speakers, and my Nintendo Wii can even get to the internet using AE1. I've left AE1 plugged in to the network.
Now the problem: I bought another Airport Express, call it AE2, and I want the new one to hook up to the existing network and let me play iTunes through the new one, as well. I connected AE2 to my LAN with ethernet and it showed up in the Base Station Chooser; I set it up to 'Join an Existing Wireless Network' and gave it the exact same Network Name: "Mike Home Network". I checked both checkboxes in the iTunes tab and gave the speakers a name. I then unhooked the ethernet, plugged in the speakers to AE2, and unplugged and replugged AE2 to restart it. The light flashes green, goes to yellow for a while, then goes solid green. (So I assume it found a network to hook up to.) iTunes shows the Multiple Speakers button, and I can pick AE1, but no sign of AE2.
I restart iTunes, but it still can't find AE2. Some support suggests using the wizard, but I'm on 2000 so it's not supported.
So my questions:
* Can I verify somehow that AE2 hooked up to the network that AE1 created? Ping it or telnet to it or something? (I can ping AE1 just fine.)
* Is 'Join an Existing Network' the right way to do this?
(I also tried WDS with no success, but I may have done it wrong.)
* AE1 is distributing IP addresses; AE2 is not. Is this correct?
Access Control is turned off on both AE's.
I have Wireless Security set to 'Off' on both.
(I'll re-enable it once I get these two going.)
They're about 20 feet apart.
Wireless channel is 'Automatic' on both. (Also tried it with both on channel 8)
Firmware on both AE's is 6.3
Itunes is version 7
Any suggestions? Anything at all, I'm absolutely stumped and this seems like it should be really straightforward....
Windows 2000

Figured it out! thanks everyone for the help.
In the end, I fixed it by turning off 'Distribute IP Addresses' on AE1.
The problem was, if you want iTunes to find the wireless Airport Express, iTunes must be able to see the wireless AE's IP address. When AE1 was distributing IP addresses, it was performing NAT, which meant that iTunes on my PC could not distinguish between AE1 and AE2 behind it.
This is not clear in any of the documentation; I can't be the first person to be confused by this.

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 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.
