Join AirPort Express to D-Link DGL4300 router in client mode not working

I only want to be able to stream iTunes to my AirPort Express via my existing network which is controlled by my D-Link DGL-4300 router.
My AirPort Express works as an iTunes streamer because I tested it running its own network (ignoring the existing D-Link network). I am trying to connect in client mode (I think), but my D-Link router just can't see the AirPort Express which seems to disappear off the radar after it restarts with the new settings.
This is what happens...
1. AirPort Express Hard Reset
2. Connect to Airport Express wireless network (which disconnects me from my D-Link DGL4300 wireless network “K1000578”)
3. Run AirPort Utility and enter “Assist Me” mode.
4. Set AirPort Express name and password then click continue.
5. Select “I have a wireless network and want to add AirPort Express or replace an existing device on my network” then click continue.
6. Select “I want AirPort Express to join my current network”
7. Select the name of my D-Link DGL4300 network “K1000578” from the drop down box, select WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security type and enter the DGL4300 password, then click continue.
8. Click Update in the summary screen.
What happens then is...
MESSAGE BOX “Apple wireless device restarting. Please wait...”
MESSAGE BOX “Connecting to network ‘K1000578’. Please wait...”
AirPort Utility returns with a message advising that although the device was successfully updated, AirPort utility was unable to find it after restarting. It also suggests that I made need to reselect my network for the AirPort menu and try again.
My computer is now unable to even see the AirPort express device.
When I try to reconnect to my existing DGL4300 network “K1000578”, it says that the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network. !! ***!!
I can fix the last part above by deleting the connection information for my DGL4300 and searching for it again. BUT HOW ON EARTH DO I CONNECT MY AIRPORT EXPRESS TO MY NETWORK?!!
I am able to connect my PC directly to the AirPort Express (if I set it up as its own network) and successfully stream iTunes, but this means I have to disconnect from my DGL4300 network also which means I won’t get internet on that machine and I can’t use my iPhone Remote App.
This is my second experience with Apples “it just works” philosophy. MobileMe was my first. Guess how I’m feeling!
Any help at all is kindly appreciated.

I forgot to mention, I have turned off the MAC address filters on my router, so that's not the cause.

Airport Express with D Link DIR-300 in client mode failure.

I just want my Airport Express to join my current network from a D-Link DIR-300 wireless router in order to use airplay. I use the Airport Utility and appear to successfully set up the device. When it is waiting for the airport to restart, it times out and is unable to locate the AE unless I reset the device and start over. The AE flashes turns green, then begins to flash yellow.
What can I do to make this work. I just want to send music the AE, and be on my existing wifi.

Chances are, the Wireless Security settings on your D-Link router and the settings that you are choosing on the AirPort Express do not match up correctly. The result is that the AirPort Express cannot successfully "join" the D-Link wireless network.
To verify if this may be the issue, temporarily turn off the wireless security on the D-Link router and check to see if the AirPort Express can connect that way. If it can, then you know that you have a security setting issue between your router and the AirPort Express.
What are the available security settings on the D-Link router that you are using? We'll try to provide you with a corresponding match for the AirPort Express if you can post back that info.

Links in PDF from View Mode Not Working

Ok, bear with me as I'm not totally familiar with Robohelp.
I have a PDF file, lets call it (PDF1). Inside PDF1 is a flowchart with a link to another PDF (PDF2) file.
When I open PDF1 outside of RoboHelp, the link to PDF2 works.
When I open PDF1 from the view mode (sunglasses), the link to PDF2 doesn't work. It doesn't do anything at all. I click on the link and nothing happens.
I have ensured that the link within PDF1 is correct and pointing to the right file, and like I said, it works when viewed external of Robohelp.
Does anyone know how to fix this or what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Dan

Welcome to our community
I'm not sure I fully comprehend the issue. You are previewing. This will impose some limitations and really is only there to approximate the end user experience.
You say that if you open things outside of RoboHelp the links work fine. And this is really how the end user will be using things, no? So if it works fine in this mode I'm not understanding why there is an issue.
Out of curiosity, why PDF? You are hopefully aware that one might supply PDF only for the purposes of printing, right? Otherwise, if your end user will be expecting to click links or whatever, you should be outputting a help format. (CHM, WebHelp, FlashHelp, AIR Help, etc)

Airport Express with D-link 624+ wireless router.

Have got a D-link wireless router connected. Wireless internet works fine on its own, but I cannot connect the apple airport express to the wireless internet, so I have to keep switching connections and am unable to use the internet at the same time as streming music to my stereo....what am I doing wrong?
please help me. I thought I knew computer gear, but was SOOOO wrong.

I had a DL 624+ (and have since abandoned it). I had a lot of instability problems with it, which seemed to be related to the Dlink DHCP implementation. I was watching the log on the router, and I was seeing the dlink constantly re-issuing DHCP addresses to the macs on the network - it would renew the addresses twice a minute.
I had seen some posts which suggested that there were problems with either long DHPC client names, or client names which had non-alphanumeric characters in them. (Note if your machine name has spaces, this could happen.)
So, you might want to try:
-Assigning static IP addresses and see if the problem goes away
-checking your DHCP client names to make sure they are between 8-12 characters
Hope this helps!

Can I use airport express without connecting to a router?

I hate trailing a long wire across my room just to listen to music through my (old but still fantastic) stereo system. I share a house with friends and our router is in the living room.. does the airport express need the router to work? sorry if this is a dumb question, there just doesn't seem to be an answer anywhere!

You do not need the AirPort Express to connect to a router in order to stream iTunes. In its default mode, the AX provides a standalone wireless network. You would just need to connect to this network to stream. The drawback, of course, is if your are getting your Internet access via another wireless network, you would have to switch networks to perform either.

About My New Apple Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi Router

Yesterday on Saturday after i finshed work I Went out & Bought a New Apple Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi Router for My Apple iMac Computer & for My Apple iPhone 5 & Apple TV & I Set it up & everything & everything worked out well so i had a question about it, that Green Solid New Light on Apple Airport Express is it suppose to always stay on even if my Apple iMac Computer is Sleeping like other Wi-Fi Routers??? cause i'm wondering cause it looks Very Nice & White & Shiny & New & i don't really want it to Fail on me cause i do like it & it does not take up a lot of space witch is a good thing so just had to ask???
how many years will My Apple Airport Express Wi-Fi Router will last for since it's as Big an an Apple TV, just was wondering if this thing is really strong & stuff to like hold out for years time maybe???
will My Apple Airport Express Wi-Fi Router Software ever get Outdated like my other Wi-Fi Router??? & they stopped making that Belkin Wireless n Router that i had & they stopped Updating it's Software & then The Software became not usable at all so I Had to go out & buy an Apple Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi Router.

Hi Byron,
on the first question: take a look at your manual; I have a different router, and on it the light stays on all the time, but I don't know if the Airport works the same way. On mine, it simply means that it is on and ready in case you need it. You should worry when there is no light, LOL.
Second question: with electronics, can't tell at all how long they will be good for. They are made to be compatible with a certain range of devices and software - and will be updated for a while when those devices and softwares are updated. After a while, too many new routers are available with too many new features that are compatible with new devices and softwares, so it's not worth updating the old ones. It's a question of money - they don't want to give you free updates forever, they want you to buy a new piece of equipment.
Third: yes, it will at some point. Everything technology/electronics related is outdated - some very quickly: you buy a new one and the next week you see an ad for a "new, improved" one. Same principle: they want you to buy again.

Header links in the web template is not working

Hi all,
I have a created webtemplete in that, header links in the web template is not working. But individually header links. I am not why they are not working in webtemplete.
guys please help for above situation.
Thanks,
James

Hi Bob,
There are many XML schema files for the data connection, I recommend to check if the references to the XML files have been changed to the new schema files in the manifest file.
For example, if we create a data connection called GetUserProfileByName, then there will be one XML file and three XML schema files for the data connection.
Please make sure that all the references are updated in the manifest file.
Thanks,
Victoria

Airport Express with D-Link router?

I bought an Airport Express with the specific purpose of connecting an old 1999 iMac to the internet (D-Link wireless router) via the ethernet port. I also thought I could use it to connect other ethernet devices such as my HD-DVD player.
I tried to configure the Express with my PowerBook to discover later in the instructions that the ethernet port is disabled when configuring the unit as wireless bridge/client. It sounds odd, becuase I can't understand the use of it, then. The range extender configuration which enables ethernet, apparently only works with an Airport base station. I admit I'm not very networking-savvy. Did I do something wrong? Am I understanding the instructions correctly?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...so it very unlikely that your D-Link router can be extended wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
The few that are known to work are:
o another Airport Express Base Station
o 802.11g Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS)
o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
o Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
o Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
o BT Voyager 2091
o Netgear WGR614 v6
o Buffalo WGR-G54

Airport Express and D-link router

I have a new Airport Express and a D-link DI-524 wireless router which I wish to use to both extend my wireless network and connect my Xbox 360 wirelessly as it is not near my base station and I don't want to wire through my house.
Could anyone please give tips on how I should do this? Should I use the Airport as the base station or the router? How can I get my Xbox to see the internet?
Your help will be muchly appreciated!

danbowles, Welcome to the discussion area!
Sorry but that is not possible. The Ethernet port on the AirPort Express (AX) is ONLY activated if it is connected wirelessly using WDS. The D-Link router does not support Apple's WDS.

Activate AirPort Express via D-Link DI-634M WiFi router to iMac Leopard

I installed an AirPort Express last year via Windows and a "g" WiFi router. Worked, but sporadically. Upgraded to MiMo router (using WPA-PSK) for better range and security, but AirPort Express stopped working.
This month, converted from Windows to iMac (OS-X 10.0) and trying to get AirPort Express working, but Setup Guide is useless, and my system doesn't "see" the AirPort.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Gib

Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.

Adding Airport Express to D-Link wireless network

We have a D-Link wireless router given us by our ISP. I have an Xbox 360. I'd like to take one of our Airport Expresses, and connect the 360 via Ethernet cable to the Airport Express, while the Airport Express joins the D-Link's network, thus giving my 360 wireless internet.
We used to accomplish this using another Airport Express instead of the D-Link, but for our own reasons, we now need to use the D-Link.
Is there a way to add the Express to the network for this purpose?

"Is there a way to add the Express to the network for this purpose?"
Yes, configure the Express to "Join" the wireless network created by the D-Link and check the "enable ethernet clients" box. Post back if you need step by step on this configuration.
It's possible that this may work OK for you if you have a strong, fast wireless network. But, you may also want to consider that this would be quite a way down on the list of most desirable ways to connect the 360 to your network.
For the best video quality, suggested in order of preference:
Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on your router to the 360
Ethernet powerline adapter at the router end and another adapter at the 360 end
Wireless from your D-Link to the 360's wireless-if it will accept a wireless connection
Wireless from your D-Link to the Express. Ethernet from the Express to the 360
Would be interested in your feedback on your experience if you use the Express.

How can I join Airport Express and 2Wire 3600HGV to extend wifi?

I to join an Airport Express to the wifi network from my AT&T 2Wire 3600HGV router to extend the wifi signal. I know it is not SOP to link an AX to a non-Apple device like this. I found instructions ( http://fsdeviations.blogspot.com/2012/09/howto-2wire-3600hgv-airport-extreme.htm l ) for joining an Airport Extreme to the 3600HGV. Has anyone used this or a similar approach with the Express to join and extend wifi from the 3600HGV?

Connect an Ethernet cable from on of the LAN <--> ports on the back of the 2-Wire modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express.
Power up the AirPort Express for a few minutes. The indicator light on the front of the device will be slowly blinking amber at this time.
On your Mac......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Other WiFi Devices tab
Click on AirPort Express
The setup utility will open up and take a minute to analyze the network, then suggest that the AirPort Express will create a new network....which is the correct setting. The window will look similar to this illustration:
For Network Name......type in the exact name of the wireless network that the 2-Wire is providing......IF.....you want to "extend" the 2-Wire network and make one "big" network. If you want to have the AirPort Express provide a different network, type in the name of the network that you want the AiPort Express to provide.
For Base Station Name....type in a device name that you want to call the AirPort Express
Password......If you want to extend the 2-Wire network, then type in the exact same password that the 2-Wire network is using. If you want the AirPort Express to provide a different network, type in a password that you want to use with the network that the AirPort Express will provide
Verify......verify the Password
Click Next, and the utility will set up everything for you automatically.
When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done. That's it. There should be a green light on the front of the AirPort Express at this point. You can configure other AirPort Express devices in the same manner.

alphasonic, Welcome to the discussion area!
Is your "wireless router" an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) or another AirPort Express (AX)? If not, you probably will not be able to do this.
The Ethernet port on the AX is active ONLY when the AX uses WDS to wirelessly connect to a network. Unfortunately most (nearly all) are NOT compatible with Apple's WDS and therefore this is not possible.

Airport Express can't see Linksys router

Hi, I'm getting nowhere trying to get my Airport Express to find my Linksys E2000 router and I hope someone here can help.
The E2000 is connected to the internet and both laptops in the house, an iphone and an Android phone can all use it successfully. I have a 1 month old Airport Express which I'd like to use to stream music. Until today I've been using the Express as the wireless router without problems so I know it can be used in that capacity. In the Airport Utility, the Express is found but after setting the Wireless Mode to 'Join a wireless network', the droplist of visible networks does not include the E2000's secured network. Curiously, the unsecured guest network created by the E2000 can be seen. The network which can't be seen is secured with WPA2-PSK. I've tried disabling the firewall on the E2000 but this had no effect.
Has anyone else come across anything similar with the Linksys routers or similar? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It won't come up up in Airport Admin Utility. To configure the router launch a browser. Typically Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the admin address for their routers. Once there, use admin as the password to gain access. If it won't let you in you will need to reset the router to factory default settings. Check the Linksys web site for the router manual.
