My Airport Express connects to the internet only in bridge Modus - how to define the DHCP settings?

Hello, I am sitting here in the middle of Siberia with my brand new Airport Extreme and it connects to the Internet only if it is in Bridge Modus - unfortunately I have also no idea what IP address range the provide has for me ... back in Europe this would work by itself and I do not have a DNS server, which I assume does not help either - any suggestions?

OK - by now I solved the problem - honestly, I did not solve it myself, it solved itself in a miraculous way ... anyway, here what happened: I searched the web for solutions concerning a potential incompatibility of my airport express and the Motorola SB5101E and found a description ... but, for what ever reasons it did not work. So finally I gave up and:
1) Disconnected the Airport express from the modem
2) Connected my Mac Mini to the Airport Express
3) Set the Airport Express up for WLan using HDCP/NAP (in order to be able to utilize my apple TV for at least this Sunday evening)
4) Disconnected my Mac Mini from the Airport Express
5) Connected all my devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac Mini, etc.) to the WLan
6) Reconnected the Airport Express to the Modem
7) Now I am using all devices via WLan and it works
So, to me it sesames that there was a conflict between the Mac Mini being the one to configure the Airport Express and trying to get access to the Internet through it via cable at the same time, which might fit to an article about some IP address conflicts and the need to set up a virtual access and so on that I did not fully understand ... Anyway, it worked!

  • Why does 2 Airport Expresses connects to one another instead of connecting to the primary Airport Extreme For internet Connectivity ?

    I have Netgear DG834G router only for dsl connectivity wifi connectivity to that router is off. i have connected netgear that provides adsl connectivity to the  (Shakeel's Airport Extreme) Airport Extreme dual band Wireless N 5th generation via cat 5 cable so airport extreme is the main wifi device through which i get wifi signals at my home. now our house is big and i have installed the adsl netgear modem and airport extreme router at the same place in my room in the upper story but the signals are weak even in the upper story at the other end of the house so i have installed the new airport express dual band wireless N in the upper story (Kafeel's airport express) and it is connected to the primary airport extreme  (Shakeel's Airport Extreme) wireless router in range extention mode it repeats the same ssid. Our ground floor has another airport express dual band wireless N the new one ( Lounge's airport express) signal was weak there so i installed another airport express (Lounge's Airport Express) their and configured it to extend the range of primary router airport extreme  (Shakeel's Airport Extreme) in the upperstory with the same ssid. Now the problem i am facing that sometimes lounge's airport express connects to kafeel's airport express instead of connecting to the airport extreme and the signals in lounge are weak because all the devices are connected to kafeels airport express and does not connect to lounge air port express. but when lounge airport express is connected to primary router airport extreme then everything works fine devices connect to lounge airport express and signals are full. i have took pictures of the problem i am facing you will understand better by having a look at it. In normal working setup both the airport expresses are connected to airport extreme which is shown in this picture
    The second picture shows when lounge airport express is connected to kafeels airport express and not the airport extreme (Shakeel's Airport Extreme) this is the problem.
    isnt there a way to correct this so that they dont connect with each other and connect to the airport extreme ?

    Lounge's AirPort Express must be located signficantly closer to Shakeel's AirPort Extreme than it is to Kafeel's AirPort Express, and there must be fewer obstructions in the signal path than the other possible connection.
    The reason is that if you want Lounge's AirPort Express to connect to Shakeel's AirPort Extreme, it must receive a significantly stronger wireless signal from Shakeel's AirPort Extreme than it does from Kafeel's AirPort Express.

  • Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear-) and so on.  I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay

    Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear…) and so on.  I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay to my Ipad. My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library? I`d appreciate any help. Alex.

    My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library?
    On the iPad you can stream videos, photos, or music from the Video, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps to an Apple TV OR just stream music to an AirPort Express Base Station.

  • AirPort Express connected to an iPod Hi-Fi; iTunes can't find the speaker.

    Hi,
    I've been trying to get my Hi-Fi to show up in iTunes via an AirPort Express connected to a MBP without much success..
    First I had some trouble connecting the Express to my exisisting wireless network (Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway WAG300N), but once I changed the WEP key to a correct lenght I got it working (green light on the Express). Actually I'm not quite sure that it's working as intended, the Express won't show up in the Aiport utility, only in the advanced setting of my wireless network (system preferences -> network). Is it supposed to show up in the Utility even though it's connected through my existing wireless network?
    I have both and optical and a 'regular' (English is not my first language cable and I've tried both, but the speakers won't show up in iTunes. I've got iTunes looking for external speakers so that shouldn't be the problem.
    Any ideas?

    Try setting-up AE as if for the first time (perform a hard-reset of the AE).
    This time, however, DO NOT connect the AE to your router initially. Connect it directly to your computer via ethernet cable when setting-up. Airtunes should now be enabled (this will not happen if you initially set up AE with AE connected to your wireless router).

  • Airport Express connects internet to MacBook Pro but not PB12"

    I'm using an Airport Express modem with v6.3 firmware to connect to the internet via a Comcast cable modem. It works fine on a MacBook Pro with 10.4.6 but keeps bringing up Network Diagnostics on a 12" PB also running 10.4.6. The 12" PB ends up at the 'Unable to connect to the Internet' window and says 'Network Diagnostics cannot fix the current networking problems.'
    I can connect to the AE modem from the non-interneted 12" PB via the airport card with Airport Utility so I think the Airport card is OK.
    Any hints as to what might be wrong?
    Thanks.

    Try creating a new location in the network settings. Then select Network port configurations and drag Airport to the top of the list. Uncheck any unused connection types such as built-in modem and Bluetooth.

  • Okay so my iphone says its connected to the internet but the internet only works for games so i cant use things like facebook twitter or youtube PLZ TELL ME HOW TO FIX THISf

    Okay so my iphone says its connected to the internet but the internet only works for games so i cant use things like facebook twitter or youtube PLZ TELL ME HOW TO FIX THISf by the way it an iphone 4s and i have never encountered this problem before my dads iphone is the same after we updated to ios 8.1.1 but my mum hasnt updated yet and hers is fine

    If deleting then reinstalling the apps doesn't work, then contact the app developer for support.
    It sounds, though, like your internet connection is simply very slow.
    Try making a backup, then restoring the iPhone as new, and testing again.

  • I need an ethernet cable connection to a non-wireless device that isn't near my current airport express. Can I buy an extra one to plug in near the non wireless device to receive the wireless data and put the signal out in ethernet form?

    I need an ethernet cable connection to a non-wireless device that isn't near my current airport express. Can I buy an extra one to plug in near the non wireless device to receive the wireless data and put the signal out in ethernet form?

    Yes, you can.
    This is a special feature of the AirPort Express 802.11n.  You will have to set it up "manually" to "enable Ethernet clients".
    If  your "main" AirPort Express is an 802.11n version, it is also possible to setup the second Express to "extend a wireless network" to provide additional wireless coverage in addtion to enabling the Ethernet port.
    If you need the steps, post back to let us know what operating system you are using on the Mac or PC that will be used for the setup of the new AirPort Express.

  • 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.

  • Airport express: wireless works, but internet does not

    Hello.
    It happened yesterday for no apparent reason: Internet was not working via airport anymore, as it should have normally.
    Config: Cable modem to Airport extreme (.g); USB printer attached to base station, base station Ethernet port going to router with Boradband phone and 1 PC attached to it.
    4 MAc computers attached to Network (and getting Internet) via Airport.
    Internet connection using DHCP, dynamic IP address provided by RoadRunner (Time Warner).
    I tested Cable Modem (works), all ethernet cables (good), reset base station and recreated an airport network.
    Airpot network works, USB printer is accessible via Airport, but Internet is still off (although Network Configuration in Sys Pref give me a green light and informs me that I am connected to the internet)
    My question: is it possible that Base Station fails only for its Internet/WAN capability, and not for Network functions?
    thanks. This one is a puzzler.

    Hello.
    We have been having the same problem discussed in this thread earlier, described as follows:
    It happened two days ago for no apparent reason:
    Internet was not working via Airport Express anymore, as it
    should have normally.
    Config: Cable modem to Airport Express via a US Robotics router,
    2 MAC computers (iMac700 and MacMini) attached to Network (and getting
    Internet), the iMac through router and the MacMini via Airport Express.
    Internet connection using DHCP, dynamic IP address
    provided by RoadRunner (Time Warner).
    iMac connected to router is getting Internet just fine; MacMini connected to network via AEX is getting network signal but no Internet. Network diagnostics says it can't tell what's wrong and call ISP. ISP says it's an Apple problem.
    I tested Cable Modem (works), all ethernet cables
    (good), Airport Express network works, but Internet is still off for MacMini.
    I've done a power recycling exercise twice, but still no Internet on the MacMini.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Both my son and I are stumped. He's a teenager and is fairly computer savvy. Neither of us has been able to figure this out.

  • No Airtunes, Airport Express connected (green light)

    Hi all,
    After many an hour faffing around I finally got the AirPort Express connected to my Windows XP PC. I can edit the configuration using the Admin Utility, and the light on the AirPort Express is solid green (ohh the joy when THAT finally happened).
    Alas iTunes (6.0.1.3) doesn't see the speakers. The menu option (under Preferences> Advanced) is ON, I've checked my firewall and have UDP Port 5353 open (both ways), but still nothing.
    I'm not using any security on the wireless connection (no need) and I'm approaching my wits end.
    I have manually configured the AirPort Express to an IP address instead of using DHCP (which pulled my internet connection) and I ONLY want to stream music, not interested in using it to access the internet.
    What am I missing? I've Googled, read many posts on this forum, and THAT post by Simon that everyone links to, but to no avail. I'm SOOO close though, I know it!

    Side note: I'm on a PC not a Mac (freudian slip?)
    Info: I am on Telewest Broadband (UK) and my cable modem is a Scientific Atlanta Webstar 100 (it's a USB connection to the PC). My wireless connection is a D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G122 USB Adapter.
    OK I'll need to pick up a cable as I don't have one.
    Questions.
    You said: "Then connect the cable modem to the Airport Express ethernet port. Pull power to both the modem and the Airport Express for five minutes or more."
    "Pull power"? I take it you mean just leave them plugged into the power (the modem won't work without power anyway).
    The reason I ask for clarification is the next line:
    "Then plug the modem into power and wait a minute."
    Shouldn't it already be plugged in to power, if it's not plugged in, it won't work?!
    Finally:
    "Your Mac should now, after reconnecting to the Airport Express wireless network, be able to access the internet."
    So, is there anyway to configure the Airport Express NOT to access the internet. I'm not bothered about this at all, I just want to stream music downstairs. No internet access required (BY ME, I understand the Airport Express may want it, but does it NEED it).
    Apologies for more questions, and many MANY thanks for your responses so far. Once I get this working (and I will), I'll be writing up a detailed set of instructions, screenshots, the works (I'm a technical author by trade ya see).

  • Airport Express connection questions

    This is what I am trying to do. Can I share an internet connection to a computer that does not have a wireless connection through an Airport Express connected to the wireless router and an ethernet cable to the computer?

    No the following also work
    - a Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not latest versions v5)
    - a Belkin Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
    - one specific model from SMC (can't find model number right now)
    - one specific model from Buffalo
    - BT Voyager 2100
    For wireless routers not on this short list - not possible.
    In particular, it will not work with any WiFi routers from D-Link or Netgear.

  • Set up Airport Extreme with 2 Airport Express connected by CAT5??

    I recently bought an Airport Extreme base station and an Airport Express. My plan was to use to Airtunes with my AV receiver in my basement. Unfortunately, because the distance between these two areas is long (and separated by two floors) I'm not able to get a strong enough signal with the Airport Express to use Airtunes. I bought another Airport Express to put on the middle floor of our house but the signal in the basement was still not strong enough even with this addition.
    I do have a way of connecting the middle floor of our house with the basement area by a CAT5 ethernet cable. My plan now is to connect the two Airport Express modules by their ethernet ports with this cable. The Airport Express on the middle floor connects with the Airport Extreme base station wirelessly without any problems. My question is what is the proper setup for the 2nd Airport Express connected by ethernet in my basement.
    Airport Tech support said this could be done. They recommended setting up a new wireless network with the 2nd Airport Express by "fooling" into thinking it was connected directly to the router but using the same network name with a different wireless channel as my Airport Extreme base station. This setup actually works for several hours but then the Airport Express module that is connected to the Airport Extreme blinks amber. Interestingly the 2nd Airport Express with usually remain with the green light on.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to set this up regarding network configuration with the Airport Utility?
    Thanks

    They recommended setting up a new wireless network with the 2nd Airport Express by "fooling" into thinking it was connected directly to the router but using the same network name with a different wireless channel as my Airport Extreme base station.
    That will work with as long as the AirPort Express (AX) is connected via Ethernet. The only other setting you need to make is to configure it to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address).
    If this one looses connection, then something is wrong with the AX or the Ethernet connection (cable and/or connectors).

  • Can I play ipad / iphone etc direct to airport express without router or internet?

    Can I play ipad / iphone etc direct to airport express without router or internet?

    Something must produce a wireless signal to do what you want.
    The AirPort Express is a router.
    Is it possible to configure the AirPort Express to "create a wireless network" and then ignore the messages informing you that you do not have an Ethernet cable plugged into the Express,and do not have an Internet connection / DNS service.
