Is AirTunes All I need to connect wirelessly?

Hello,
I'm considering purchasing an AirTunes base to connect my printer, my Mac and my husband's PC laptop (running Windows XP SP2). Is there anything else I need to do this besides the AirTunes itself? Do I need an access point or anything else not included with the Airtunes?
Thanks!

There is no AirTunes device. AirTunes is the ability of using iTunes in cooperation with an AirPort Express (AX) to wirelessly send music to a set of speakers or sound system.
So you are really asking about an AX. The AX is a wireless 802.11b/g base station which happens to provide an audio output for streaming music from iTunes.
You can connect the AX to your DSL or cable modem and it will provide a standard 802.11b/g wireless network.

Hello @arijyou123,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're not able to configure your HP Deskjet 3521 e-All-in-One Printer for wireless printing with your Mac OS X 10.7 computer. I'd like to assist you with configuring the wireless today.
You will need a USB Cable for the wireless setup.
Can I have you start by clicking here. When the website opens, select the Download button on the top left. Allow the download to complete. Once the download is finished please launch the installer on your Mac.
Follow any onscreen steps to complete the installation of your printer. If prompted please select the 'Wireless Setup Using a USB Connect'. Plug in your USB Cable when prompted. Your wireless information (Network Name SSID and Wireless password) will be sent to the printer via the USB Cable connection. Once the wireless connection has been established, you will no longer need the USB Cable.
For further information on the wireless setup please refer to: Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless network
Please respond to this post with the result of your wireless setup. Should the wireless configuration still fail, please respond with any error messages that you may receive or when exactly the setup fails. I look forward to hearing from you!

WIPS needed when connecting wireless networks to Firewall ?

Hi all,
We 're considering to implement a wireless network.
One of the security options is using wIPS.
This will cost of course because it needs a mobile security engine and licences for the APs (and WCS).
Another option I see to avoid this cost is by connecting the wireless network to the external firewall. See attachment.
Then a wireless session wil continue to Internet or towards the corporate network.
This firewall will also have an IDS/IPS module.
Is this a viable and effective alternative or am I totally bezirk?
Is wIPS better because of wireless specific issues/challenges?
Thanx for any help.
Greetz Jaap

They're unrelated. The Wips features done by the MSE appliance have nothing to do with what a firewall does. The MSE will check all the information on all the APs to find out possibilities of wireless attacks. For example, authentication floods, denial of service, AP impersonation, ... There are hundreds of different signatures.
Wireless management frames never reach the firewall, only useful data payload does. A firewall will never see if a client is spoofing an AP mac address, if a client is sending "disassociation" frames to all the other clients and so on.

Need help connecting wireless router to wired router

Our computers (1 desktop, 1 laptop,and our Xbox) are presently connected to a Dynex DX-E401 4-Port/Cable/DSL Router. We would like to keep this arrangement for the XBox & desktop for gaming purposes (general consensus seems to be a wired connection is faster than wireless). However, I would like to add a Linksys WRT54GL Ver 1.1 wireless router for another laptop to roam around the house. Can I just connect the Linksys wireless router into the Dynex wired router, or does everything now have to go through the wireless router first? To connect the wireless router, do I run the setup CD in the laptop that I want to primarily use the wireless router? I'm not the most savvy when it comes to this stuff, but can follow detailed directions. If there are any links/videos, etc. you can refer to me to that already addresses this issue, that would be great. I greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

You don't run the setup disk at all. Actually, you don't want a router you only want a wireless access point.
Wire a computer to the WRT. Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/ (default password is "admin").
On the main setup page, change the LAN IP address from 192.168.1.1 to a free IP address in your DSL router LAN. If the DSL router uses 192.168.1.1 as well, you may be able to set it to 192.168.1.2 unless the DHCP server on the DSL router uses 192.168.1.2.
On the same configuration page of the WRT disable the DHCP server.
Save settings.
Unplug the computer.
Wire one of the numbered LAN ports of the WRT to your DSL router.
That's it. Now you are able to do any further configuration through the web interface of the WRT at http://192.168.1.2/ (or whatever IP address you have set).
Don't forget to enable wireless security WPA2 Personal with AES and a strong passphrase and change the router password "admin" on the Administration/Management page.

I need to scan wirelessly from a MAC (OS 1.7 or higher) through Adobe Acrobat Pro X (or higher). Have discovered that all in one printers say they are MAC compatible but will only scan when connected with a USB cable. Would prefer a laser, color, all in one. Does anyone have printer suggestions that you know will scan wirelessly?

Great information.

Can No Longer Connect Wirelessly to HP Photosmart D110 after Comcast All-in-One Modem Upgrade

Hello,
I just replaced my former modem +router setup with a new "all-in-one" "Wireless Gateway 1" modem from Comcast (model # TC8305C). The setup guide for the new modem states: "The Wireless Gateway 1 is an all-in-one product that connects XFINITY internet and home networking. It provides wired and WI-FI connectivity, so there's no need for a separate router." I was previously able to connect wirelessly to the Photosmart D110 from my laptop. When I tried to update the network information on the printer sing the printer's Wireless Setup Wizard, the network name did not appear in the list of available networks. I added the name, as requested, and then added the network password associated with the new modem. However, the printer's Wireless Network Test Report said that "the printer cannot find my wireless router." Specifically, the Test said that the new network name was found, but said that the passcode was incorrect. I repeated the setup 3 times and did type the network passcode correctly. Will the printer not work wirelessly due to the new all-in-one modem? Is there a way to remedy this? I apologize for being pathetically non-technical, and would be grateful for any assistance! Thanks.

OK, first wireless Gateway (modem/router combo) units are terrible for wireless connection. It is always, always best to use a separate modem and router in your network that YOU have control over instead of Comcast. If you have your old router it would be best to call Comcast and have that Gateway put in Bridge mode (disables the router section) and connect your own high quality router. With that said, let's try this. Set the router to a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto'. If you still can't connect, remove all security off the routers SSID. Now try to connect to your SSID with no security. Are you successful?

All of a sudden, can't connect wirelessly to WRT54G2!!

Hi! I have a WRT54G2 router with a desktop wired to it. The desktop is mine and my roommate wirelessly connects with her laptop and has been doing so no problem for about 6 months (ever since we got the router). On Christmas Eve, she was connected, went out, came home and found she'd lost her wireless connection. Now she can't get it back.
**I can still get online on the desktop.**
I've power cycled to no avail. What is weird is sometimes she will click on the list of available networks (so she can choose which she wants to connect to) and mine WILL be there, other times it will NOT. If she does happen to catch it at a moment when my network is there, and she tries to connect using the passphrase, it says "Trying to connect" or something to that effect, for like 3 minutes and then nothing happens. Also, not that I would need to, but if I go to "connect to" on my PC (as if I were looking to choose a network to connect to), my network name doesn't always show. It is random. Sometimes it does not even show when I go to "Networks" on my desktop.
We are going crazy here and I'm sad to say I am not very technical. I can provide more info if need be. My roommate took her laptop to her parents house and can connect to their wireless network, so I know the problem is the router or something to do with it....Can someone please help me?

Thank you so much for writing back! The ssid is currently set to my name. (I named it that when I first got the router...so, it's not currentlly the Linksys example).
As for security, it is already set to WPA2 Personal and for WPA Algorithms, it is set to TKIP+AES. There is already a passphrase in there (The ones that we've been using all along for her to connect wirelessly.. and that has worked until now...she's been able to use it no problem)...
So, everything "appears" to already be the way you advise it needs to. Am I doing something wrong?
Would it help to rename the router and change the passphrase, or does that not matter? What is weird is she seems it sometimes, but no all, and when she does see it, and enters the passphrase (which has worked before) it just doesn't connect.
Here is some additional info as to the way it is set right now
Under "Basic Wireless Settings"
Wireless Configuration- Manual
Wireless Network Mode- Mixed
Wireless Network Name- Tara
Wireless Channel- 6-2.437GHz
Wireless SSID Broadcast -Enable
Wireless Security
Security Mode- WPA2 Personal
WPA Algorithms- TKIP-AES
Then there is my group shared key
Group Key renewal - 3600 seconds
Wireless Mac Filter- Disable
Advanced Wireless settings
(Most here are set to the default)
Under setup of the router, DHCP server is "enabled"
Under firewall,
3 things are checked
Block anonymous internet requests
Filter muliticast
Filter IDENT
Under Access restrictions, it says "status" and it is set to "disable"
Under administration, where it says "Wireless access web" --"enable" is checked
Under status, in regards to firmware, it says this:
Firmware Version: 1.0.00 build 012, Jan. 24, 2008
Any ideas? What baffles me is that is has been working for her to connect wirelessly for months, using the passphrase and everything...and now, without my making any changes or messing with the router at all, this happens.
Any ideas would be appreciated!!

Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly

Hello all,
My Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly.
The printer does no show up while searching for it wirelessly where it had previously.
In the past it would say that the printer (HP Series 7300) was offline. I would remove the device through the control panel and search again. A printer would be found as HP Series 7300 (Copy 1) . A "ghost" of the original would remain as an offline device. I would default to the new printer icon, Copy 1, and it would work. This happened over the course of a year without any problems.
Now nothing is working. The printer can't be found by my network. I tried downloading drivers, etc. from HP but they either can't download or stop during installation. I don't know if an Windows 8.1 update affected it.
Although the printer has a built in network set up option, it has no installation wizard. I can't find a way to activate the wireless feature/icon. There is no I.P. address either.
I feel like a monkey pulling levers for a banana! I appreciate your help.

Hey @Kathlanta ,
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
I understand you are having issues with your HP Officejet 7310xi connecting and staying on your network. Going through all of this is making you feel much like this;
By the end of this I want you feeling more like this;
Now let's get to the bottom of this and have some fun doing it! (and no, I have not completely adopted the idea that you are a monkey, but for the time being, seems most fitting LOL )
Ok, so what we are going to start with here is; a full print system uninstall and reinstall and run it through USB to test the printers functionality.
Here is how you uninstall the whole printer software on 8.1 >> Uninstalling The Printer
Here is how you install the drivers offline (use the appropriate links to get your steps) >> Installing HP Printer Software for a USB Connection in Windows 8
You wont need to worry about the wireless right yet until we figure out if the rpinter hardware is ok or not. So sit tight on that portion, I'll get that all back and working later after we figure this stuff out now.
Look forward to hearing back from you! Have a good one!

Hello MacBook Pro Musicians- I cannot read sheet music from the ipad. It is too small. I want to connect a large monitor, hopefully wirelessly to my 13 inch macbook pro. what would I need to connect ? Any suggestions on how to keep monitor from falling?

Hello Macbook Pro Musicians--I cannot read sheet music from my 13" macbook or from an IPad. The print is too small for these aging eyes! So I need to get a large monitor to attach to the Macbook. I want the monitor to be connected wirelessly or using a blue tooth. This will eliminate alot of potential mishaps
when playing out. Also I am having a time figuring out how I am going to safely keep the monitor on somekind of music stand without falling!!! Can anyone help me with this?

Hi Julius,
As you can see in my profile section, my MBP is older by 5 years, 2GB RAM and with regards to question 1 (Q1), has no problems with having all those programs open at the same time with the possible exception of Photoshop since I use Gimp instead. With twice the RAM and much overall much better specs, Photoshop shouldn't be an issue. But you listed some other activities that might need that additional RAM. But the advise most give is to not get it from Apple but from a third party.
Q5 - I always get Apple Care. Only had to use it once but it paid for itself that one time.
Sorry, can't help you much with the questions you really want answered since I won't have a new MBP until (hopefully) next week but for Q4, I believe it depends on the peripheral. My current monitors are too old to allow them to be hooked up in a chain. Supposedly, if the monitors do have the ports, you could via the MBP Thunderbolt port. The speeds are also dependent upon the peripheral. If the external hard drive is using a USB 2 port, you are limited by that speed (480 Mb/s). If it has a Thunderbolt port, then from what I understand, we, my friend, are in for some great times because I believe your RAM will have the ability to access data as fast as it can take it at 10Gb/s (and if will need those kinds of speeds, the 8GB of RAM may be the way to go). The Thunderbolt demos on YouTube where they are accessing four video files from a Raid drive, then sending them back out via Final Cut Pro to a monitor are amazing. I'll probably never push this machine to anywhere near it's limits but I can't wait to see what others do.
Peace,
Jeremiah

I need to connect an Airport Express to an exisitng Wi-Fi Netgear Router. 1) My PC do not detect the Airport Express, 2) AE is flashing amber all the time... Please if someone can help?

I need to connect an Airport Express to an exisitng Wi-Fi Netgear Router. 1) My PC do not detect the Airport Express, 2) AE is flashing amber all the time... Please if someone can help?

Before I bought it I did the same question at the Apple Store, and they told me "You can extend your existing Wi-Fi Signal with Airport Express wireless...
You cannot extend wireless from any brand except another apple router.. the store might have assumed you were using an apple main router. Most people who buy express buy them to extend an extreme or time capsule.
You are correct .. in the setup documents it does say 5.6.1 is adequate to do the setup.. my bad.. !!

I have two Buildings i need to connect via wireless

I have one Building with The Main Internet Connection. It has 1- wireless-G access point (wap54g v3) and 1-wireless-B ethernet bridge (wet11 v2)
The other Structure i cant run wire cause of a water hazzard between the buildings. Building two has 1- Wireless-N Broadband Router(wrt300n)
With These 3 Products what can i do using what i have to connect, connect building 1 to building 2 via wireless? Or am i in need of another wireless router of sorts?
help and documentation would help. I just was dropped into this and had a day or two to fingure a solution out.
Thank you

The Computers which are connected to WRT300N on Building Two are they able to go online throught the Router? Then i would suggest you to get an Ethernet Bridge, As your ethernet bridge is older B series and it wont communicate with your Router properly, Either you can Get a G Series or N Series Ethernet Bridge ( WET54G , WET600N).
On Building 1 you need to input the wireless settings as you have set on your WRT300N Router. Once you configure all the settings on your Bridge, then you can connect the Bridge to an switch and then connect your Access Point to the Swtich and configure all the settings on your WAP54G. And this will let all your computers go online Wirelessly and Wired as well.

HT1515 do you need to connect the airport express to a router via ethernet or can it do it using wireless?

There are 3 Apple routers....AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule. Details here:

Do you have one of these products in the living room?
If no, you can only use the AirPort Express by connecting to the router in the living room using an Ethernet cable at all times.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

Not all laptops in household connect to wireless printer on AEBS

I have the latest Airport Extreme Base Station (n), and an HP Deskjet 5900 printer connected to it's USB port. The AEBS is setup to Share the printer wirelessly. I've also made this option available through the main desktop (Mac Pro) that is connected directly to the AEBS.
I have a MacBook (intel) connected wirelessly to my network. I was able to connect to the "Add" the HP to my list of printers and successfully print to it wirelessly.
Unfortunately, our MacBookPro that is also connected wirelessly can not locate the printer.
Some facts:
-Both laptops are running 10.5.8
-Both have the latest HP Printer Drivers
-Both are running admin accounts, so we should be able to make any necessary changes to printers, prefs, etc.
Couple of things to note:
When hitting "Add" on the MacBook, I get an extensive list of connection options, e.g. "Default", "Fax", "IP", "Apple Talk", etc... the HP Deskjet is connected via Bonjour.
When hitting "Add" on the MacBookPro, all I get is one two column window with the option "Local Zone" at the left, nothing on the right hand side, and the fields "Name, Location, and Print Using" below... all of which are not selectable.
We are able to print to a hardwired USB printer connected to the MacBookPro, but that's about it.
The MacBookPro does have Parallels installed, so I don't know if that is some how changing the behavior of this panel, but we aren't running it at this time, since this is being setup in the Mac OS side.
Hopefully that is enough information to give a clearer picture. I'm hoping it's a setting somewhere that for whatever reason was inadvertently turned off.
Thanks!

A couple things to keep in mind with what you are trying to do: the AirPort card was originally intended to allow the computer or laptop to connect to a wireless base station, such as a router, AirPort Extreme, etc. It just so happens that setup properly they allow the computer to work as a wireless connection point to the internet for another device. They are not intended to provide the full functionality of a router, however.
While a number of people using the forums have discussed connecting devices like iPads to the internet via their iMacs and MacBook Pros, using the computer to provide internet access and at the same time work in reverse by providing wireless printing could end up causing signal clashes and conflicts.
You would be far better off installing a router to provide the functions you are describing. Or keep very tight controls on what device is doing what and not over burdening the AirPort card.
