Is there a way to wirelessly connect my Airports?

I have an AirPort Extreme and just got an Airport Express. How do I connect them wirelessly so I don't need to connect them by Ethernet cord?

My network is made up of an Airport Extreme upstairs and an Airport Express downstair. My devices connect up automatically wherever I am in the house without me doing anything.

if not then how do i use the unlimited data ive been given through my mobile network provider please tell me most kindly Purchase a mobile WiFi hotspot (Sometimes referred to as a MyFi), or have that service added to your cell phone.
geeeeesar also how does this ipod touch4 pick up the wifi free of charge is this possible or do you have to pay for limited data to access internet Your iPod can connect to any unsecured WiFi network that you are currently within range of. These networks can be found at your local library, some city/county government buildings, doctor's offices, Denny's, IHOP, Starbuck's, Home Depot, Lowes, Best Buy, and other merchants. Your iPod can connect to any secured WiFi network that you are within range of and that you have the password for.
thanks can i pod touch 4 generation download movies too please help thank u very much.... Yes. If your iPod has a WiFi connection and you have an account with a service like NetFlix....

Is there any way I can connect three AirPort Expresses to a D-Link DIR 655?

I have a 2009 D-Link DIR 655 running 1.33NA and I need to connect my three AirPort Express systems in order to run my XBox to XBox LIVE, and I am having some serious difficulty doing so. I've checked all over the Internet, googled the issue about ten different ways, and not a whole lot has come up. HELP!!!!!

Apple has done their best to install proprietary software in their wireless routers that is designed to only allow other Apple routers to repeat or extend the network wirelessly.
So, the chances are extremely small that a D-Link....or another other router for that matter.....could be configured to do what you ask.
There are no settings on an AirPort Extreme that would allow a D-Link device to extend the network, so all that you can do is experiment with different settings on the D-Link device to see if it might be possible for it to extend the network.
A post on a D-Link support forum might be a good idea to see if any D-Link specialists have some ideas on this topic.
Good luck.

Is there a way to stay connected to a network but use wireless for my internet?

Hello all.
Quick question.
I am looking at using my phone's mobile hotspot for my iMac to connect to via wifi since it's on 4G, and this internet at this house is dire. Really, really slow. I've got a wireless router plugged into the cable modem, which has a Western Digital World Edition network hard drive connected to it.
Since this is the first time I had good speeds (via the phone hotspot) I started downloading OS X Lion. I then went downstairs and realised I'd like to listen to the music on my harddrive, so I plugged the ethernet cable in. As soon as I do that, despite airport being above ethernet on the network config pref pane, it automatically connects to the ethernet internet instead, and drops to really slow again.
As I see it, I can either benefit from the fast internet and have no access to the network, or be able to use the network but get poor internet speeds.
Without sounding stupid: can I use the wifi to get the fast internet, whilst being connected via ethernet to the network?
(i'd unplug the modem, but when I'm out of the house my girlfriend will need to be able to connect to the internet via the network...)
SECONDLY, is there a way to be connected to the ethernet network and toggle on/off internet access from it at the same time? E.g.... I would be connected to access our hard drive, etc., all the time, but if i didn't have access to my phone I could click something and enable internet access through the ethernet network, and turn it off when i had my phone to hand?
Let me know!

Sorry, but no.
SECONDLY, is there a way to be connected to the ethernet network and toggle on/off internet access from it at the same time?
Yes. You should have a means to disable the modem. Doing so would disconnect you from the Internet but still leave your local network functional in order to access the WD HDD.

Ok, fair enough. But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible. I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones. Because of the vast ammount of leaks. With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers. It's possible to do so, I just want to know how. I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

Is there any way I can connect my iPhone to my projector to demonstrate an app?

Is there any way I can connect my iPhone to my projector to demonstrate an app?

Yes, there are cables in the Apple Store that will send video to an external screen, but it depends on the app....3rd party apps may need to be written to allow video out...some mirror the iPhone screen and some only use the external - it depends on how the app works, etc.
Start by getting a compatible cable.

Why the transmition to the tv from my iPad is slow cutting off ... Is there a way to improve connectivity ?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Not via Bluetooth. You can connect over Wi-Fi, but this needs to be configured when the device is connected with a cable.

My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house. Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?

My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house. Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network? Network is administered through an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Ideally, would like for the second Airport Extreme hard drive to appear on the list of devices in the Finder window.

Ok.. gottcha
The problem is network wise.. Yosemite is about equal to tin cans and string.. pathetic.
Here is my usual set of instructions to get anything working on Yosemite.
The best way to fix problems is a full factory reset of all the AE in the network.
Factory reset universal
Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg AEgen5 and AEwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use AE24ghz and AE5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for AE which is router.. it is a problem for AE which is bridged.. you will need to set static IP in the main router by dhcp reservations or use static IP in the AE which is tricky.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
6. Now mount the disk of the second AE in finder... manually.
Use Go, Connect to Server and type in the AE ip address.
SMB://10.0.1.2
Where you will replace that address with the actual address. The network resource should be discovered and then it will request the password.. type that in and make sure you tick to save it in your keychain.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
Do as much as you want of the above... not all of it is necessary.. only if you want it reliable.. or as reliable as Yosemite in its current incarnation can manage.
The most important thing is point 6.. mount the disk using direct IP address and not names.. dns in Yosemite is fatally flawed.

Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
Thanks

One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.

Is there a way to combine connections?

is there a way to combine multiple connetions for example (ethernet + airport + bluetooth) to create more bandwidth?
I know there was a way to do it in windows but is there a way for mac?

Hey M,
So a wired connection to, e.g., a cable modem; a separate wireless connection to a base station and then, e.g., a DSL modem: Two completely separate connections... right?
Have a look at this: Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Combining Ethernet ports.
Good luck,
John

Is there a way to permanently connect the ipad 2 to the 3G signal of my carrier?

I am a bit frustrated because after being connected to the 3G signal of my carrier, I would eventually be transferred to the Edge signal after a few minutes. Is there a way to force my ipad 2 to only connect to the 3G signal?

No.

I have an iPhone 4 with 3G. Do I need to buy an iPad with 3G or is there some way I can connect the phone and the iPad?

I have iPhone 4 with 3G. Do I need to buy an iPad with 3G or is there a way to share 3G across the two?

If you have 4.3 on the phone, and your carrier supports it, you can use the phone as a wi-fi HotSpot

Is there a way to wirelessly disable my ipod without "Find my iPhone"?

My iPod touch was stolen and I don't have the "Find my iPhone" downloaded on it. Is there another way to disable it without this app?

Sorry, but there is not. The most you can do is report the incident to your local law enforcement and change the passwords to any and all acounts you may have used or set up on the device.

Lose wireless connectivity to airport express

I am losing wireless connectivity to my airport express with my Powerbook and my Windows laptops. The only way I can make them reconnect is to turn off the airport express and turn it back on. Any ideas? I am running 6.2

It sounds like an interference issue.
