Is there any antenna for airport express?

I think i´m having problemas with the signal of my airport express and all the readings i made always refer antennas for airport extreme base station.
My question is, if there is any antenna for airport express that don´t needs an extreme base station.
Thanks

Two quick things to check using AirPort Utility on both devices:
On your "main" base station
Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab/label located just below the row of icons
There must be a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Click Update to save your changes.
If you don't see this option, you likely have an older AirPort Extreme that does not support the "extend" feature. Please clarify on the version that you have
On your AirPort Express
Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Name = Same name as your main network
Check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
Wireless Security = Same setting as your main router
Wireless Password = Same password as your main network
Confirm Password
Click Update to save settings
If you do not see the "Extend a wireless network setting", you may have an older AirPort Express, or if you are sure that you have a newer 802.11n model, try holding down the option key while you click on the selection box to see if the "Extend" setting will appear.
Assuming no major obstructions between the main router and area that needs more wireless coverage, a good starting location for the Express would be a point that is approximately half the distance between the main router and the area that needs more coverage.
As I said, this feature works very well if major obstructions do not come into play.

  • Is there any proof that Airport Express really extends a network?

    I've been using various Airport Express devices since their inception, always on extended Extreme networks. Yet I've never been able to demonstrate with any certainty that the network is genuinely extended. I seem to get the same range with or without Express plugged in. Has anyone seen any objective evidence, any third party test, proving that Express really extends a network?
    At this point I have an Express about 50 feet from the base in a frame house: no brick or concrete between. I get maximum bars in the room with Express, whether or not it is plugged in, and there is often considerable delay in web page loading, whether or not Express is plugged in. The device doesn't improve things appreciably.

  • Any advice for airport express on my powerbook g4 please...

    i recently bought airport express for wireless broadband connection, wireless printing etc and at the time was advised that i needed an airport extreme card so bought the card too.
    On my powerbook the card slot is under/beside the battery compartment and the card happened to fit into the slot fine as did the connector.
    But....the card did not work! so with further research i found out that my powerbook actually needed the original airport express card, not the extreme! After a long search i found a the right card(so i thought) which arrived today....and now this one doesn't even fit in the slot!
    Can anyone possibly tell me which card i need and if poss a part/ ID no. might be useful.
    Also, my broadband modem has a usb connection, am i right in thinking that this wont work and i'm going to have to find a modem with an ethernet connection?
    Any info would be v.much appreciated...

    There is no such thing as an Airport Express card, it is either an Airport or an Airport Extreme card.

    right in thinking that this wont work and i'm going
    to have to find a modem with an ethernet connection?
    Yes in order to use the Airport Express you will need a modem with an ethernet connection.

  • Is there any Antivirus for 5700 Express Music??

    Hi friends,
    Plz tell me where i can find a good antivirus for my 5700.... And also i would like to know which series is this phone???

    I can't believe that there is an anti-virus market for these phones at the moment.
    There are only 2 (?) methods of virus propogating on S60.
    1. Dubious downloads of software; ie. hacked/cracked stuff
    2. Bluetooth.
    The thing with the bluetooth transmission is that you have to accept the incoming transmission first. Its a tad silly to keep your bluetooth open in the first place, but to then get a message pop up saying "Do you want to accept incoming application transfer from Joe Pirate" and accept it - you'd have to be pretty stupid.
    Its been quite a while since the first virus PoC was announced on Symbian, and theres been absolutely no issues with them propogating in any way.
    F-Secure will have you believe otherwise though .....

  • Mini-UPS solution for Airport Express

    Hello Airport community! This is my first post.
    I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with a battery backup (UPS) for Airport Express'. I have a larger UPS for my Time Capsule which is the main access point. I've hardwired this one into the network to broadcast the same network but extend the range. If the power goes off, since a number of devices are connected to the second, I'd like to have it on back up as well. However, it's installed very in a tidier manner in a smaller area – no room here for a big APC UPS.
    I've been able to find 12 V battery backups, but nothing for the Airport since it's a 120/240 V input.
    Anyone have any ideas of how this might be accomplished?
    Cheers,
    David

    As a completely different kind of solution.. Although John's battery and car inverter idea is creative.. and will work..
    Use an extreme or something else that is dc powered.. You can buy a cheap second hand extreme for $30-50 on ebay or whoever has your second hand market. It can even be a different brand.. tp-link, edimax etc.. most are 12v which is excellent.. then power it down the ethernet. So you don't even need a power point.
    I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with a battery backup (UPS) for Airport Express'. I have a larger UPS for my Time Capsule which is the main access point.
    Plug the 12v power supply into your UPS.. with the TC.. and buy a set of injectors for ethernet..
    They look like this.

    Just a few dollars.. they passively use the extra pairs to carry power over the ethernet wiring.. you can also buy active sets but they are more expensive but keep the line at gigabit.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/TP-Link-POE200-Power-over-Ethernet-Adapter-Kit-Injector- Splitter-5-9-12V-DC-Out-/181210762297?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a3100cc39
    I have not hunted for cheapest but I have tried to keep price in mind.
    There was a time when Apple used POE in the old domed Extreme.. and that was very handy.. the Express should have always had it.. it is a natural to power over ethernet rather than require power outlet next to it.

  • I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices.

    I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices.  I assume that I have to reconfigure them to the the new wireless but how do I do this frmo my PC?  Thanks

    I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on each of your AirPort Express base stations. Once completed, you can use the following Apple Support article to configure each base station for streaming.

    Let see, you are using a proprietary file format that is only supposed to work with Outlook. It doesn't work for millions of Windows or Mac or Linux email users that depend on other email programs like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, webmail, etc.
    Microsoft has had to publish instructions so that their program's users can make themselves compatible with the rest of the world.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809
    You are causing your own problem by not making a simple change in your program's options. Changes in the Outlook preferences can be made either Globally or by the Recipient.
    Follow these steps in Outlook 2007 to turn off TNEF:
    1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
    2. Click the Mail Format tab.
    3. In the Compose in this message format box, click Plain Text or HTML, and then click OK.
    Don't know of a better way to fix this problem for everyone concerned. Even if you get the fix to work with your machine, you will not enable all of the people receiving your emails to be able to work with you. That's a losing battle that's been caused by Microsoft.
    Now if Microsoft created a Mail plugin for other email programs like they do for their video format's and services (flip4mac, Office Live Plugin, etc), then I would consider using their email program to deal with my clients. Until then, I need to be compatible with many different programs in other countries, on different platforms. Maybe that's going to change when they bring out the new Office 2011 with Outlook for the Mac...

  • How to find MAC address for WAN port for Airport Express 2nd Gen.

    The New Airport Express has a LAN and a WAN ethernet ports. How can I find the MAC address for the WAN ethernet port as my Service Provider needs it for provisioning....I can fid MAC address for Ethernet and for two wireless 2.4 & 5GHz but not for WAN ethernet port using Airport Utility 6.1

    Many thanks for the swift response. However, there is no WAN MAC address on the box or on the device anywhere. I even used magnifying glass to find one .
    The airport utility shows only three mac addresses. One for 2.4GHz, one for 5GHz and one fo the ethernet (LAN port) whereas there is another ethernet port in the device mentioned as WAN port and I am still not able to find the MAC address for the WAN ehternet port for Airport Express (2nd Generation).
    Will appreciate a response to make th device work wiht my service provider as providing them the WAN mac address is a must. Had there been an option for cloning mac address, the issue would have not been there.
    Many thanks again - in advance.

    My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior

  • I have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

    i have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

    Try this:
    Open the "Find my iPhone" app on your iPad, fill in your AppleID and password at the start up screen, and you should see a list of all your devices and their current location, if connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Devices not connected will be shown as "offline". But you can still trap on the icon and hit "erase iPhone" in the right hand window.
    If your iPhone is not listed, you did not activate this feature during the setup of the phone and it can't be erased remotely.
    If the phone is listed, even as offline, tap on "erase" to send the erase command. The next time your device will be connected to any kind of network, the content will be erased.

  • I accidentally formatted my portable hard drive when setting it up for time machine. Is there any way for me to get back my lost files?

    I have an external hard drive of the brand Western Digital.
    Before I got my iMac I moved a lot of my important files from my PC to the hard drive and today I went on and connected it to my iMac to move my files over to it.
    When it had connected a window popped up that asked if I wanted to use this hard drive with the program Time Machine and create backups. Without thinking it trough enough and reading the warning properly (I'm stupid I know) I clicked "yes". I then realised how stupid it was and cancelled the formatting of the hard drive. But somehow the program still managed to delete all my important files and can't find any way to get them back. Neither can I connect the hard drive to my PC anymore so I can't check if the files are still there (which I doubt they are since I can't see them on my iMac either).
    And now I wonder: is there any way for me to get back my lost files or are they lost forever?
    Thank you in advance!

    A data recovery specialist or some data recovery programs should be able to help.  Most format simply rewrite the directory tree saying no files are on this disk.  The bits that represent the files are still flipped appropreiately so they still exists, you just don't have the location info to get at them.  Secure formats and erases rewrite each bit to a zero or 1 or random so the data is then truely gone.  This type of format takes a long time to complete.
    I'm not making a recomendation of a particular program but here is one company that does what you ask:
    http://www.remosoftware.com/mac-recovery  The cost is pretty high but I'm sure they don't sell many copies and need to cover their development costs.
    Good luck and don't write anything on the freshly formatted disk until you decide what to do.
