Can i use the airport express in my hotel with wired connection?

I'm going to be traveling quite a bit coming up and staying in hotels with wired internet connections in the room. Can i use the airport express to connect with the hotel's internet connection and then my ipad and/or iphone 4S? I'm new to Apple products so will certainly appreciate any info that may help. Thank you!

You will need to have AirPort Utility installed on the iPad and/or iPhone. It is free on the App Store
App Store - AirPort Utility
Connect the AirPort Express 802.11n to the hotel Ethernet jack using an Ethernet cable
Power up the AirPort Express and wait 40-45 seconds
Tap Settings, then tap Wi-Fi on the iPad
Tap the AirPort Express under the heading of Set up an AirPort Base Station
AirPort Utility will take a moment to to analyze the connection and then you can proceed with the easy guided setup
Once the AirPort Express is configured, you should not have to set it up again at the next hotel. But, you could if you want to.

Can I use my airport express to establish wifi with Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS cable modem?

Can I use my airport express to establish wifi connection with a Motorola SN6120 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem?

Yes, the AEx goes into router mode.. plug in via ethernet to the modem port.. you then need to power cycle the cable modem.. it might need to be off for 20min or more before it will lose the previous connection and start afresh with the Express.

Airport Express A1088 Not Working With iTunes 10 AirPlay but works with iPad & iPhone

Hi,
I'm really hoping someone can help me. I have just got an ADSL connection at home and have started using my Airport Express I've had for years but haven't used, model number A1088. I can use the Airport Express to use AirPlay from my iPhone, iPod and iPad. iTunes 10 on my 2010 13" MacBook Pro recognises the Airport Express as an AirPlay device, however when I attempt to play music through remote speakers using the Airport Express as the AirPlay device I receive the error message "An error occurred while connecting to AirPlay device "emptyk86 Airport Express". The network connection failed". I have performed numerous hard resets and resets within the Airport Utility, to no avail. I could accept that as the Aiport Express is quite old now, that it could be broken, but as it works for all iPhones, iPods, and iPads I don't understand what I'm doing wrong!
Thanks for your time.

The same thing started happening to me this morning. I have an old Airport Express, New MacBook Pro, recently updated to Lion, have the latest version of iTunes. Everything worked fine until this morning. I was playing music, stopped it, and when I tried to resume, got the error message. I turned evertying off and on and reset everything. The problem persisted. However, I had no problem playng music from my iPad library through the system using the iPad.
I have a remote app on the iPad and, oddly enough, found that I could play anything (playlists, songs, etc.) from the MacBook Pro iTunes library through the system using the iPad remorte app. Once I had that running, I went back to the MacBook Pro and found I had full functionality with iTunes on the MacBook Pro. I closed and reopened iTunes a couple of times on the MacBook Pro to test it, and found that sometimes it would work fine and sometimes I would get the error message. When I got the error message, I went through the procedure with the iPad to get it going, and that worked most of the time. When it did not work the first time, I found that playing a song from the iPad library first and then going to the remote app seemed to help.
For sure, this is more a workaround than a solution, but maybe someone who understands how these things work might recognize the problem and propose a solution.

Want to use my Airport express to connect to my itune-air tune only.

I am travelling with my Airport Express to different countries, where I am not using it as a device to connect to the internet, but to connect my external speakers and want to enjoy my itune Air tunes.
I have had it set up back home, to connect to the internet and my external speakers.
Now, my Airport express is flashing amber, in the airport utility, I see my AirP Express, but I it takes forever to read base station configurations, so I can't make any changes.
All I need is to be able to use my itunes over my airtunes, using my Airp Express.

Ah - that fully explains what is going on.
In that case:
1. if you are currently on the road, you will need to do a hard reset of the Airport Express to return it to its default mode of a standalone base station. You will then be able to access it and configure it as necessary. And yes, the amber flashing light will persist. And lastly, will will need to reconfigure it from scratch as a remote base station on your home wireless LAN when you return home.
2. if you are home right now, read up on the use of the Airport Express stored profiles feature, to save its current settings as a remote base station. You can also create a profile for the Airport Express to function as a standalone base station for when you are on the road. Just remember to switch profiles before you hit the road. If you forget to switch profiles before going on the road, just do a "soft reset" of the Airport Express, connect to its default wireless network, and use the Airport Utility to switch the Airport Express to your previously saved "on the road" profile.

Using the Airport Express as an Extender with D-link router

I just received an Airport Express as a Christmas gift and am having trouble setting it up with the D-Link N router that I have. I have searched all of the internets and have not found anything confirming whether or not these two items are compatible with each other; some people say they are, some say otherwise- I thought I would ask the experts.
I plugged in the express and tried to set it up, but when it asks what base station it needs to connect to, it won't recognize the D-Link router (I know that the D-Link router isn't a base station).
Is there anyway to make the express I have extend my wireless network?

They are not.
There are very few Routers that are WDS compatible.
Very few can be used to extend a Network.
If you use all Airport Products then you can extend.

Can I use an Airport Express to extend coverage for Apple TV

I hooked up an Apple TV today to replace my Airport Express. Is it possible to use the Airport Express to extend coverage throughout my house for the appleTV, or are they not compatible in that sense?

Will the ATV work as far as the wireless signal goes? Basically, I can walk halfway through my backyard and them my itouch will cut out. I want to be able to control music (as I do inside) with my Itouch throughout my back yard, and my thought was to put the AX in a location closer to where I would use my ipod outside in an attempt to increase the wireless range.
I just played with the settings on the Airport and switched it to "enhance an existing wireless network." Tomorrow I'll try to see if this helps to accomplish what I am setting out to do. If anyone has any feedback, by all means share it.

Maxtor NAS drive used on Airport Express at Timemachine Volume

Does anybody know if it is possible to use an airport express with a NAS drive and use it as a volume for timemachine. Currently I have the drive attached to my timecapsule as a NAS drive. I would like to hide away the airport express with the maxtor attached for security reasons.

Thanks for the post. I was trying to connect a ethernet drive (Maxtor 1TB NAS mass storage drive) that I have now got working wirelessly. This drive is formatted with a linux file system that you are unable to reformat so it is not possible to use as a timemachine volume, however it is great for saving back ups of movies etc and using over the net as I have now set it to do.

Is it possible to access my DVR from the Internet using an Airport Express and Airport Extreme?

I would like to use my Airport Express to connect to my DVR and use it to access the Internet by setting it up to wireless extend my Airport Extreme network?
This would allow me great flexibility to place the DVR wherever I wanted. I would create a static IP address for the DVR but would I also have to create one for the Airport Express as well? What would I put as my Gateway address? Would it be the IP address of the Airport Extreme or the Airport Express?
Looking forward to the advice to see if this is possible...

It may not be compatible with the iPad. See below for reference.
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

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.

Using Older Airport Express as an wireless/ethernet bridge

Hi there,
I noticed that people are using their Airport Express (n) products to create a bridge to wireless networks via the ethernet port on the Express.
Is this possible for older non-N Airport Expresses?
I read online that one could set up a WDS network, but I am having -no- luck doing that. Each time I try, I am prompted to enter other nodes on the WDS network, but there's a chicken and egg problem since the first node I am trying to set up keeps requiring other nodes before applying the changes to the configuration it is very frustrating.
I have an Airport Extreme (b/g) and two airport expresses (b/g) and would very very much like to connect an ethernet-run skype phone to one of the expresses. I currently use one as an AirTunes node, and the other (the one I want to use for the skype ophone) as a wireless printer node. Is it possible to use the latter as an ethernet bridge? Can I do that without setting up a WDS network? If I have to have a WDS network, what are the step by step instructions I should follow to do that for all the hardware listed above?
This seems a lot harder than it should be.

+I noticed that people are using their Airport Express (n) products to create a bridge to wireless networks via the ethernet port on the Express.+
+Is this possible for older non-N Airport Expresses?+
It is only possible with the older Express if you also have an Apple main router and setup all the devices in a WDS arrangement. If you are having difficulty setting up the WDS on your network, reference pages 42-44 in the Designing AirPort Networks Guide for a step by step procedure of this. Or, perhaps you might want to use one of the excellent posts by Tesserax for this as well. See this post.

Can i use an airport express as an ethernet print server?

here's my situation: i have a belkin wireless g router connected to my cable modem and my G4 desktop connected to the belkin router. i need to access an epson 3000 printer with only an ethernet port in another room in the house. i was told my the tech guy in the local apple store that i could use an airport express to do this but for the life of me i can't make it happen using either airport setup assistant or airport admin utility. so is it possible? and if not, what would you suggest i do so i can access the printer?
thanks.

Can I use an Airport Express as a wired client to an Airport Extreme?
Sure, follow the instructions in this Apple Support document and simply substitute the AirPort Express where you see a second AirPort Extreme:

Can I use an Airport Express to extend a network using a Bwrg500 router?

Can I use my Airport Express to extend my wireless network while using a Bountiful BWRG500 wireless router? The Bountiful wireless router has the WDS abilities.
http://www.bountifulwifi.com/Products/BountifulRouter500G/Overview.aspx
Thank you for looking.

It is in fact possible to extend your network using WDS. I say this under the assumption that your statement regarding the WDS capabilities of the Bwrg router is correct. However, keep in mind that you cannot use a WPA or WPA2 password with a WDS extended network. You must either use no encryption or use WEP. Unfortunately some routers require WEP passwords that use either 10 or 26 digits ONLY while the express uses a 13 digit password.
This can be a troubling problem considering that most people need a wifi password to ensure safe and secure browsing.

Extending an Network Using Powerlines & Airport Express

Apologies for the rather long winded question - however I am hoping that there is a fairly simple response.
I have just moved into a new house with very thick walls. The wifi signal (from a BT HomeHub (2??)) router makes it around the majority of the house - except the dining room where we plan on using the macbook the most.
I thought i could solve this problem by buying a Belkin Powerline and an Airport Express. The ultimate aim is to use the Airport Express both as Airtunes device and also as a device to extend the wireless network in the dining room.
My current set up therefore is the phone line connected to the BT router; router connected to the powerline socket via an ethernet cable. In my dining room (where there is no wireless signal) I have the other powerline socket connected to my Airport Express. Having gone through the set up process, Airtunes works well, broadcasting from the mac to my stereo via Airtunes. However it is clear that i am unable to connect to the internet using the mac in my dining room - suggesting that the Airport express is not extending the wifi signal (if i plug the macbook into the powerline socket directly using the ethernet cable then the internet works fine).
My question therefore is, given the above device set up, how can do i set up my Airport Express so that I can connect to the internet AND use Airtunes in a room that is outside the range of the BT base station, but is connected to the internet via a Powerline?? Ideally the wi-fi signal provided by the Airport Express would be the same as provided by the BT Box so that I can wander round the house picking up whichever source is the strongest. Is this possible??
thanks in advance and apologies again for the long winded question!
many thanks
Paul

Hi can someone help me please....... I am new to this and as such couldnt even find out how to post a new thread..... sorry i am not into IT thats why I buy apple cos I dont normally have to think : )
Here is my issue. I ahve just moved back to the UK and into my old house, I have a BT homehub installed as they were easiest and fastest to get online with, the airpot in my Imac works fine with it and within twenty feet everything esle connects fine too, my issue is my apple tv simply cannot find the network, I have tried extending the range with everything, Belkin etc and then someone suggested airport express. Nothing seems to work but at least airport express tells you why and apparently the why is because my homehub will not let its network be extended ? BT now tell me that this is true !!!! now I am stuck in a contract with BT with a homehub that doesnt reach my apple tv that cannot be extended by airport express ? is this really true or can someone help me please, please . I have read the post above and just want to know if the airport express needs to remain pluggedinto the router via ethernet ?? if so it is unlikely I can have the airport express unit much more than a few feet away from the homehub and if so how will this increase the overall range of the network ? over the existing home hub ? frustratingly my apple tv etc is the furthest possible point away from the hub and with several thick stone walls in the way which is obviously why I am having issues ? making the airport express a repeater in a mid point would be ideal but apparently this is not possible ?

How do I Extend my airport extreme using an airport express

How do i use and airport express to extend my network off an airport extreme

Apple's step by step instructions are here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
Although two Extremes are pictured, the setup for an Express is exactly the same.
If you are running Lion 10.7.3, you will need to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion for the instructions to make sense.
Otherwise, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilties > AirPort Utiltiy to start the process.
