Lynksys can no longer find Airport Express

I have an Airport express that I use to stream itunes from my Dell via a linksys router to my home music system. It has worked flawlesly for over a year. I unpluged it while the room it is in was painted. Now after replugging it in, the Airport admin utility / base station chooser can no longer see the airport.
I have tried to reset it loads of times, and rerun the setup utility, but still cannot get the airport to come up in the Airport admin utility.
Thanks for any help.
dell dimenssion 4500 Windows XP

I'm back in bussiness! Thanks;) This was really helpful. Using an ethernet connection got my pc to see the AE almost immediatly.
I however used the settings that origionaly worked for me. When I ditched the ethernet cable and went back to the wirless router all of the AE settings stayed locked in.

Can't Configure/Find Airport Express

On Wednesday night, my Airport Express was working just fine as a client on my Airport Snow network. I just use it for Airtunes. My network is closed. Last night, iTunes announced it couldn't find my Express. Attempting just to do a soft reboot of it, I apparently did a hard one, because it suddenly showed up as Apple Network 6bd5d3. So, I went to the Airport Setup Assistant and started trying to configure it. First did 'Set up a new'. It finds the Apple Network, I say continue, and it connects to Apple Network, then after a few moments says it can't find my base station. When I try 'Set up an existing' it doesn't show the Apple Network at all. Nor does Airport Admin Utility. At this point, I'm baffled. Thinking it might work like my base stations, I tried connecting it directly to the computer with an ethernet cable, but that seemed to work even worse. I just don't understand why it would show up as a network under my Airport menu, and allow me to connect to it (although of course since it's not connected to the internet, I can't be online connected to it), and then have it not show up for Airport Admin Utility. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hello jvreagan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), to change settings.

POWERMAC G5 can no longer access Airport Express wireless network

OK I've had a Airport extreme wireless network up and running for 3-years. Suddenly, my PowerMac G5 cannot connect. I know the network is OK because my Powerbook can connect to the network.
I've tried running the Airport utility and re-scanning with no luck. Also shut down the PowerMac and the Airport Extreme and then re-booted. No luck. The wireless strength meter in the upper right corner of screen goes from solid black to gray scale. Sometimes the network is listed, other times not. It never, however, will let me join the network.
Is it possible that the Airport card has failed??
Any help will be appreciated.

what does this have to do with windows?

ITunes can't find Airport Express remote speakers after PC standby

I use Airport Express 802.11n to drive my remote speakers over WiFi from iTunes. It works well, except for after my PC Laptop has been in standby (such as folding the screen). When it wakes up and regains network connectivity, iTunes can no longer find the Airport Express remote speakers. I can ping the Airport and it shows up in Airport Utility, so I have WiFi connection. It does not help to restart iTunes, I need to reboot Windows to allow iTunes to see the remote speakers again.
Does anyone have a tip of how I can get iTunes to "refresh" the Airport Express connection (zeroconf/Bonjour issue?) after standby wakeup?

Holy moly. Now it works.
I restarted the Airport Express from the Airport Utility application, repaired persmissions and rebooted the computer as well.
Not much of a "fix" but sometimes you gotta do the most obvious I guess. (And yes I feel stupid)
Cheers

Myairport utility can no longer find my time machine or Air port express

can any one help my airport utility can no longer find my time machine or Air port express

Try connecting an Ethernet cable from your Mac to the Time Capsule to see if that allows AirPort Utility to "see" it.
By the way, don't confuse "Time Machine",backup software included with OS X since version 10.5, with "Time Capsule", an Apple Wi-Fi base station with an integrated disk drive.

Utility Airpot Version 5.3.2 (532.8) can't find Airport Express

Hi,
I've been using my Airport Express base for a year whit no problems.
Since the the 4th of June, I can't connect to my net anymore. My utility airport can't see the Airport express base anymore.
I'm on MacBook Pro Intel core 2 duo MAc OS X 10.5.3 running Utility airport version 5.3.2
What's the most bizzare aspect, is that my brother who has an old Ibook G4 but is running on the same OS X 10.5.3 and the same Utility airport versione 5.3.2 doesn't have any problem at all!!
I tried even to initialize my mac so to bring it back to the state when always was working fine, but still utility airport can't see any base!! Whereas my bro keeps surfing fast and furious...
I'm getting mad over that...please help me!

I actually have the same problem (but don't get excited - I haven't fixed it yet)!
Around the first week of June my airport express wasn't emitting the signal any more but my airport extreme base station was fine.
I tried changing my password from WEP to WPA/WPA2 which I guess is more up to date and more secure - thinking that since I'd upgraded to Leopard there were incompatibility issues some how.
I've done a hard reset to the airport express (I have not tried restoring factory settings yet - I might try that) and it showed up in the airport admin utility and I tried to reconfigure it and it timed out and said that it was not able to configure it (or something to that effect).
The next time I opened the airport admin utility, my airport express didn't show up.
It is maddening, and if anybody could help the both of us out, that would be great!!

I can not configure my airport express

Hi everyone, I'm currently in China and I bought and Airport express just to have a bit more signal in my dorm, however it's been 2 days and I can not configure my airport express everything seems find until the point that I choose join to an existing network and then choose my college and it get stuck for almost 20 min and after it says something about an error, then I switch off and it no longer recognized the airport it keeps looking for and airport base. Please what should I do?

The AirPort Express cannot wirelessly "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal from another router.....unless that other router is an Apple product.
It is highly unliklely...but possible.....that the dorm would be using another Apple router to provide the wireless service.
The Express is really designed to connect to an Ethernet wall port using a short Ethernet cable connection. When you do it this way, the Express can be set up to provide your own private wireless network in the room.

Can't configure old Airport express

Hi There,
I can't configure an Airport Express because Airport Utility was upgraded. I've found several posts on how to get around this but in each case, the software or automator script download links are either broken or the software/script no longer works.
I already own 4x Apple Wireless devices and am not interested in owning another one!
Is there a way to configure this device on a newer mac (10.7.5)?
Cheers
Ben

You must install the older utility.
Try this one and tell us which thing doesn't work.. later versions of lion use the same method as Mountain Lion.. Apple actually blocked it from working.. amazing people!!
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time. Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out.

I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time. Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out of one devise before using another?

Some Internet providers that limit access to a single device at a time do so by the device's hardware MAC address. If your ISP is one of those, you may be able to substitute the MAC address of your AirPort Express base station for the computer. I would suggest that you contact them to find out if this is allowable.

My Apple TV can no longer find my network - help?

I've been using my apple tv for a LONG tme successfully until tonight.
It can no longer find my network (airport network)!
Resetting/restarting the apple tv has not helped. I can't update anything because it can't connect to the internet (even though my computer and phones and even roku are connecting just fine).
I've tried restarting everything (airport, internet box, apple tv) as well as plugging and unplugging things...
I had noticed a few times it was having trouble connecting but restarting seemed to fix it. My apple tv is from last year so it's not old.
Any suggestions?

Can I use the airport express with a desktop computer that is not wire less- I want to have wifi in the house for an iphone

Can i use the airport express with a desktop computer not wifi- I want wifi for my iphone

I can't seem to find any information anywhere. It seems like it should work since the AX is showing up on his wifi settings on both his iPhone and iPod. Not to mention the Apple "Genius" told him that it should work. However, they also told him that it came with an ethernet, USB and the stereo patch cables...

I can't get my Airport Express model A1084 to connect to my Actiontec M1424WR modem/router. Help?

I can't get my Airport Express model A1084 to connect to my modem/router model Actiontec M1424WR. The Airport utility on my IMAC says it doesn't find any base stations. Thelight on the Airport Express blinks amber only. Any suggestions?

The 8+ year old Express that you have will require a 5.x version of AirPort Utility to administer the product.
Might you have an older Mac running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the computer?

Airport Utility 5.6 will no longer read Airport Express Configuration; no longer able to stream from MacBook Pro

I have an old airport express ( 1st one ever I think) up until today I was able to use it with iTunes and also Airfoil to stream music. Today I cannot stream music from my MacBook Pro 2008 ( OS X 10.8.3) Airfoil sees the Airport Express but cannot connect, iTunes see it, but will not connect. When I try to connect with Airfoil the error message is "Airfoil was unable to connect to the remote speaker "little fish". Please check the remote speaker and try again."
iTunes just tries to connect and then times out.
I have AU 5.6 in order to use the old AE. It sees the AE and give me a summary page. But if I try "manual set up" or the "continue" button - I get "reading the Airport Express configuration" and then eventually "An error occured while reading the configurarion. Make sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753) "
I tried a soft reset, no help.
I tried a hard reset and I was able to see the new airport express and it allowed me to set it up again, then it restarted and everything was the same as before I reset.
I can stream to the Airport Express from my iPhone and my iPad
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?

It appears that the printer is OK and is on the network. Eventually you may want to set a static IP address for it, but let's get things working first.
The first thing I would try would be to reset the printing system on all the problem Macs:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If this does not do it there may be something going on with the router. I have a few ideas if this is required. Let me know.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an AP and a DHCP server at the same time?

Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an Access Point and a DHCP server at the same time?
I would like to use it as a DHCP server and AP at the same time in my LAN (no internet, just local machines through a few switches). I was lead to belive this could be the case from a few networking friends that haven't been friendly enough to help me out setting it up.

I need it to act as a dLink/Cisco/Linksys/etc basic wifi router, in the fact that you can access it via wifi, and it will spit out DHCP addresses (192.168.1.xxx) to everything wired downstream of it.
I want to simultaniously provide a Wifi connection and a LAN connection at the same time
Thanks,
BRad
