My airport express can't be set up due to software

What do I need to do if my airport express wont connect with my iPad due to software issues according to failed connection prompt

It can be setup either with iOS device with latest airport utilty or any Mac with 6.3 airport utility.. means the Mac has to be running Lion or later. And you have to turn on ipv6 to local link.
Windows version utility apparently partly works.. it must be the most recent 5.6.1 but some stuff is missing.. you might also find it works better with ipv6 turned on.

    Per chance is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) an 802.11g model? If so, that is why you are getting this error message from the AirPort Utility running on the iPad. You would need to use either version 5.6 or 5.6.1 running on a Mac or a PC to administer this base station.

  • After updating Time Capsule to 7.7.2, Airport Expresses can no longer connect

    After I update the Time Capsule firmware to 7.7.2, my three Airport Expresses can no longer connect to the Time Capsule (their orange lights blink and they appear inaccessible in the Airport Utility). When I downgrade, they are able to connect fine.
    They are connecting to the Time Capsule over my 5GhZ wireless network.
    Any help?

  • How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

    How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
    What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
    Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

    FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

  • Airport Express can only extend network, not create new one. Why?

    I am sharing a flat with some friends. The shared broadband router is placed in the living room. To strengthen the signal and make it easier for me to manage, I bought an Airport Express, connected it to the shared router with an ethernet cable and set up a wireless network of my own in my room. It was working fine, until recently we renewed our broadband contract. The router had been replaced by a new one (I don't know why) and the network configration had been changed. Since then I was not able to use my own network. In the Airport Utility display, the light of Airport Express is green, but the light of Internet is yellow, and the status is disconnected. I tried to change various other configuration on the Airport Express, and all in vain. Until I switched the network mode from 'Create a new wireless network' to 'Extend a wireless network', the Internet connection was finally back online. But this merely extends the existing network and not what I want. Why this happens? Why my Airport Express can only extend a network, not create one?

    Here is the situation on my Airport Express.
    If I choose to extend the existing wireless network, the Airport Utility shows like this:
    If I set up a wireless network of my own, what I get in the Airport Utility is this:
    See my problems here? The Airport Express does not show anything in amble, but the Internet complains that there is no connection.
    This problem did not occur before the broadband was renewed and the rounter was replaced.

  • Airport express can't extend wireless network

    Airport express(A1264) can't extend wireless network. It seems that Airport express can't find my home Wi-Fi network. Amber light is blinking, and AirPort Utility of MacBook also can't find Airport express.
    If AE is connected with TC via LAN cable, amber light is blinking with message "Wireless Network" (This Airport base station is set up to join a specific wireless network that can't be found...)
    It was successful only once, but all failed after that.
    Is there solution for this problem?

    Sorry, I misunderstood what you wanted to do.
    Since you did tell us that you had the Express connected with an Ethernet cable, I assumed that was how you wanted to configure the Express.
    But I want to extend a wireless network (not using ethernet)
    Because Airport Express and Time Capsule cannot be connect via ethernet cable.
    Follow the same setup as above....and do not connect an Ethernet cable.
    Keep the Express near the Time Capsule for the setup. Once you have a green light, move the Express to a point that is about half way between the Time Capsule and area that needs more wireless coverage.
    If you reset the Express several times and try the setup several times without success, I think you have to suspect a defective Express.

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

    Theoretically as much as you want but there are technical limitations about the usable bandwidth in the wireless or by the used access point.
    All participants (stations) in a wireless network share the available bandwhith equally and therefore a point will get reached where the throughput in the network became insufficient to stream music.
    Also some routers limit the number of stations could get connected. For instance Apples Airport Extreme have a limit of 50 connected clients and the AP-Express (if used as access point) a limit of 10 simultaneous connections.

  • How many airport express can be supported by software remote at one time.

    how many airport express can be supported by software remote at one time?
    I mean remote software can control at one time

    Well Apple makes an iOS application called 'Remote' it's used to control iTunes on a Mac, Or to control an Apple TV Multimedia features.
    Apple also makes "AirPort Utility" for iOS. Airport Utility can be used to configure Aiport Extrem, Airport Express And Time Capsul using an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. You can use it to connect to one device at a time. While connected to the device you can configure it to work as part of a larger Airport network. If you want to configure muliple device, you would connect to one device,  configure it,  And then connect to the next device, and configure it, and so on and so fourth.
    I haven't found a limit.
    How big of a network are you trying to make?

  • If i have a home full of Apple TV's and Airport Express' can i  airplay music in every room at the same time?

    If i have a home full of Apple TV's and Airport Express' can i  airplay music in every room at the same time?
    Or just one device(room) at a time?
    It seems there is a lot of home theater systems where they all hook up to one "control" and then disperse to the different locations per instructions..
    Is this possible with all apple products?

    From iTunes using Multiple Speakers (you can control with the Remote app on iPhone/iPad too), but not from AppleTV itself.

  • Airport Express can't find internet during initial install to extend wifi from Airport Extreme

    Currently have Airport Extreme but need to reinforce signal.  Bought Airport Express.  Only way to get Airport Express to find Internet is to connect directly to cable modem (even then, it did NOT show up on Airport Utility).  Thus, have not been able to configure Express either wirelessly or using Ethernet.

    Thanks for the info.
    Please power off the AirPort Extreme, wait a minute, then power it back up.
    Power up the AirPort Express for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button on the Express for 8-10 seconds and release, then allow a full minute for the AirPort Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    If you plan to leave the AirPort Express permanently connected to the AirPort Extreme, run the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express.
    If you plan to have the AirPort Express connect using wireless only, then do not connect an Ethernet cable to the Express at any time
    On the iPad home screen.....
    Tap Settings
    Tap WiFi
    Wait a few seconds for a setting of Set Up a New AirPort Base Station to appear
    Tap on AirPort Express just below that setting
    The utility will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the AirPort Express will be configured to extend the AirPort Extreme network
    Enter a device name that you want to use for the AirPort Express.  Keep the name short and simple, like Express, for example
    Tap on Next
    The utility will set the Express up for you automatically with the correct settings.
    When you see the message appear of Setup Complete, tap Done
    You are done, assuming that the AirPort Express is operating correctly.

  • While using the airport express can I listen to music streaming from the Internet?

    While using the airport express can I listen to music streaming from the Internet?

    The music must be in your iTunes library.
    Or, you can try to add a special application like Airfoil that may allow you to stream any audio signal on your computer to the AirPort Express. It might work.

  • Virgin Broadband Ethernet Hub Airport Express, can't set up a network

    My broadband comes in via the virgin modem, I then want to be able to 'split it off' to provide a wired ethernet connection for 'ordinary' machines and also a wifi network for all the laptops in the house.
    Currently I have set it up as follows:
    Virgin Broadband >> Ethernet Hub >> Airport Express (wifi) >>
    Connections to the Ethernet Hub work (its what I am on now) and filesharing between machines on the wifi network work as well but machines on the wifi network can't get any internet access???
    Am I barking up the wrong tree????

    colse, Welcome to the discussion area!
    This won't work with an Ethernet hub or Ethernet switch.
    Your ISP gives you a single IP address. To connect multiple devices you need a router. The router will use that single public IP address and then create multiple local IP addresses for your devices. The AirPort Express (AX) IS a router but unfortunately only has a single Ethernet port and can't support Ethernet clients.
    So... you need to replace the hub with an inexpensive wired router.
    Then configure the AX to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address) so that the AX will not create a separate subnet for the wireless clients.
