My airport express died and stop after 2 years

What is the waranty period for airport express as my other router D-Link still running after 6 years

Depends where you are - consumer law almost certainly gives you more protection than Apple's warranty.
Airports do seem to break down very frequently - I've had several die. I think it's caused by the lack of ventilation but I could be wrong. I usually buy them second hand these days from eBay - interestingly enough these seem to last longer than new ones from Apple. I suspect that's because if they have survived long enough to get on eBay they are the "good" ones.

Shawn

  • Why have all 3 airport express base stations stopped working, BT have checked and improved line still not working?

    Why have all 3 airport express base stations stopped working, other users are on ipads and BT have checked and improved line but I still have an intermittent/no connection?

    You must tell us the whole setup.. what is the main router?? How are the express connected to each other?
    On ipad it works ok?? But you are on a computer?? MBP early 2011 running Lion?? That doesn't work.. even if you are right next to the main router??
    Plugged in by ethernet does it work??
    Have you installed a wireless diagnostic program.. ?? Actually Lion has one installed but hidden I believe.
    Later version bought it to the surface.
    About Wireless Diagnostics
    If you do run Lion please install the 5.6 airport utility as it will give you loads more info on how the units are connected.. and link speeds for extend wireless.
    How to load 5.6 into later Lion & 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.

  • Why is Logic Express 8 keep stopping after 2 sec, every time I press play? Help!!!

    Why is Logic Express 8 keep stopping after 2 sec, every time I press play? Help!!!

    Its likely to be caused by Ozone5.. many people have reported that plugin is currently quite unstable and are awaiting updates from izotope to fix the problem... No ETA has been given by izotope for the fix however...
    Also several of your plugins are out of date (Zebra2, Clariphonic, Ozone itself.. to name but a few,)
    Finally, you are running an older version of Logic Pro X (10.0.3)...and  I would normally suggest you update to the latest version  but... if you have a USB2 audio interface do not update to 10.0.5 at this time.... unless you know it will work correctly with the new version of LPX.

  • My Airport Express units and Apple TV are disappearing from my network for Airplay

    I'm using a BT Home Hub (third generation) as the centre point of my network. The Airport Express Units, and the Apple TV, are connected to it wirelessly, using the 'Join A Wireless Network' option in the setup.
    Although the units are visible on the network, they disappear from the Airplay menu on iOS devices and my MacBook Pro, and need to be rebooted to bring them back.
    Does anyone have any idea why this might be?
    The Apple TV Is now cabled to the router, which rectified a performance issue I had with it whereby films being streamed would stop periodically.
    Prior to this, I had the devices wirelessly connected to, and extending, an Airport Extreme network, being broadcast from my Time Capsule. I had to change this however, as the Airport Express units did not play music smoothly and would also disappear from the Airplay menu. I figured that the Time Capsule was at fault, as it's around 4 or 5 years old, and has been showing signs of ageing for a while now, however this new problem has occured since.
    I'm tempted to replace the Time Capsule, with a new Airport Extreme unit and external HDD unit to continue wireless Time Machine backup of my three Macs, but don't want to do this if not strictly necessary.

    Is there a way to stream internet audio to these devices?
    You might want to take a look at Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any source on your Mac to the AirPort Express.

  • Apple Airport Express - drops wifi connections after a day or two.....??

    Dear Users,
    Can anyone assist me, I have 2 Apple Airport Express recievers and an Apple TV2 connected to my iMac. The Apple TV is connected via ethernet and a gigabit switch via the BT Infinity Router. The 2 Apple Airport Expresses are connected via wiresles to the BT router.
    Everything works fine, music streams perfectly most of the time.
    But after 24-48 hours of being dorment the Router seems to drop the wireless connections to the Apple Airport Expresses, if you reboot the router they connect again immediatley. I have adjusted the router settings to 802.1n, instead of 802.1n/b/g, which seemed to work better for a few days and the connection never dropped and now the problem has started again.
    Frankly its not the end of the world, but it means I have to reboot the router everytime we want to use all zones for music, which when you have a wife that moans that 'my setup is too complicted and has to be rebooted everytime', it would be great to resolve this for once and all.....
    Have a I missed something simple or do I need a new router/Airport Extreme?
    Thanks in advance
    Matt

    The whole idea here is to test by first powering off your "extending" AirPort.
    Then, take a measurement with your laptop at the location of the "extending" AirPort.....to see what quality of signal that it is receiving.  Remember, it can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives.
    You would want to see a minimum SNR of 25 at the location of your "extending" AirPort Express.  Higher would be better. If it is less than 25, you need to move the "extending" Express closer to the "main" router so that it will receive a better quality signal to extend.
    Once you have a location with a decent SNR of 25 or higher, then power the "extending" Express back up at that location.

  • Is my Airport Express dying?

    Lately, I have been experiencing frequent connection problems with my Airport Express (Model No. A1264) that I bought back in 2008. Most of the time the AirPort icon will be at a full signal everywhere in the house but mysterious cannot connect to the internet. The AirPort is constantly connected to two MacBooks and two iPhones. In addition, a Wii and PS3 whenever they are on.
    I have done more hard resets which usually solve the problem but only for a couple days until this happens all over again. This leads me to believe that maybe the AirPort is old and just dying. Does or can this happen? Any feedback would be helpful before I go to the Apple Store and grab a new one.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the discussion area, csullivan1980!
    It is reasonable to expect an AirPort Express to function for 4-5 years or more on average. While it is possible that your device may be declining, the symptoms you describe sound much more like a probable wireless interference issue. If that's the case, a new Express will have exactly the same type of problems.
    Any other nearby wireless networks, cordless phones (even at the neighbors), or wireless camera/security systems can cause connection issues with a given wireless network. See this Apple Support Document for more information:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365?viewlocale=en_US
    All you can really do is try different wireless channels on your AirPort Express to see if you can find some clear airspace. If you live in a dense area with a lot of other wireless networks and cordless phones around you, it may be difficult to find a good channel.
    To do this, you would do the following:
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab/label just under the row of icons
    Experiment with different Wireless Channel settings. Start at 11 and work down from there
    Click the Update button to save your changes
    Try to locate the AirPort Express away from any other electronic devices and if possible, get it up high rather than down low on the wall. An extension cord will come in handy for this.

  • Airport Express Pops and Clicks

    I bought an airport express about a month ago with the goal of adding Airplay support to our living room.  So far it's worked well except that it pops and clicks (sometimes very loudly) every 20 minutes or so.  I've read that electrical interference may be the cause but 4 different surge protectors and line conditioners have done nothing to fix the problem.
    I'm not using iTunes.   Only streaming from iphones and an ipad.
    Are there any additinal steps I can take before returining the unit?

    If it also pops and clicks when you plug in the headphones, that points to a defective AirPort Express that will need to be replaced.
    If you do not hear the pops and clicks on the headphones, then you know the AirPort Express is good and the problem is likely somewhere between the AirPort Express, amp and speakers.
    Sometimes a compressor on a refrigerator or air conditioner will send spikes though the AC lines that are picked up in the amp, no matter what kind of surge supressor you have. I have had this problem, and had to replace the separate amp I was using.

  • Airport Express (b and g only) not connecting to internet

    Hey guys I have the old airport express (B and G) and I have been trying to make it connect it to the internet for 5 hours. I have an arris cable modem and a linksys 10/100 5-Port Workgroup switch router thats in between the airport and the cable modem. I have tried hard reseting the airport and manually changing the subnet mask to the correct one but it won't connect I have tried directly connecting the airport to the cable modem but still no go the weird thing is the mac mini also connected to the router and does connect to the internet but the subnet mask address does not match up with the one the airport automatically assigns the mac mini has 255.255.255.0 but the airport gets 255.255.255.255 and when i try to to change it manually it gives me the green light but still won't let me connect to the internet any ideas i have just about had it with this thing.

    ...and a linksys 10/100 5-Port Workgroup switch router...
    Since I have never heard of a device described as a "switch router",I'm going to guess that this thing is really only a switch. Using a switch in this way will not work. You need to place a router (even a very inexpensive one) between the cable modem and the AirPort Express (AX). Then the AX would be configured to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address). The router would then provide IP addresses to the AX's clients as well as the ones connected via Ethernet to the router.

  • Is it possible to get the license of photoshop and lightroom after 4 years of subscription?

    Is it possible to get the license of photoshop and lightroom after 4 years of subscription?

    No, it is not. Perpetual licenses are not available.
    (If the reward for a few years subscription was a permanent license, soon Adobe's entire business model would collapse, because money from subscriptions would stop).

  • Using TimeCapsule with a Comcast modem AND Airport Express. Way slower after updates! What's up?

    I've been running this set up for two years now without a hitch.  Comcast Modem to TimeCapsule by Ethernet.  Then TimeCapsule to Airport Express via WiFi.  It used to work great because my TC was far away from my family room and the AE extended my network flawlessly. 
    After Mavericks and IOS 7.06 installations on my devices (iMac, Macbook Air,  iPhone, and iPad) my wifi seems to be moving at half speed.  I've rebooted the Comcast Modem and  TimeCapsule. I guess I should reboot airport express as well.  But I doubt thats the problem.  I was thinking of asking Comcast to change out Modems but this is a new problem only since updates. What should I do?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Marylyn

    Power off the entire network.....all devices....computers, printers, modem, TC, mobile devices, etc
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
    Start the TC next and let it run a full minute
    Keep starting devices one a time about a minute apart until the entire network is powered back up
    Check the network

  • Airport Express will not stop flashing amber light; Reset multiple times; Works for a second with green light and then resumes flashing amber

    I bought an Airport Express to extend my Airport Extreme about a month ago. It worked great until 2 weeks ago it started flashing amber. I reset it and set it up via airport utility and it would work for a little while, with great connection, and then it resumes the flashing amber light. Here is the error message:
    "This AirPort base station was unable to extend the wireless network. Make sure the wireless network you're trying to extend was set up and is working correctly, that you entered a matching wireless network password into this device, and that this device is in range of the wireless network."
    The Airport Extreme is in working condition, in range, and entered in correctly. I do not understand how it can work great for a second and then stop.
    Thanks!

    Power off both the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
    Wait a few minutes
    Power up the AirPort Extreme, and let it run a few minutes
    Then, power up the AirPort Express
    If you continue to have difficulty, ask Apple to replace the AirPort Express.

  • Airport Express, Leopard and Internet Sharing

    I have my internet connection running directly to my iMac's ethernet connection and I use the Internet Sharing option to share my connection with computers. I had been using my Airport Express just to connect to my iMac for Airtunes. My Airport Express has stopped working and is not located unless I shut off Internet Sharing, but if I turn that off, it will not let me set the Airport Express to connect to an existing network - I guess because the network does not exist because I shut it off to configure the Airport Express. This is driving me crazy - any thoughts?

    Interestingly, it works again. To initially configure the Airport Express, I had to shut off internet sharing. I configured the Airport Express (I did a hard reset to clear everything out) using the Airport Utility and set it to join an existing network. Of course my network did not show up since I had shut internet sharing off, but I manually typed in the name and password that I had already set for the internet sharing. I also put in a name and password for the base station, but this isn't required.
    Then I hit update and right when it says that the configuration has been changed and it is waiting for the Airport Express to restart, I turned internet sharing back on. I waited and after flashing yellow for a while it connected. I unplugged it and plugged it back in to make sure it was fully configured and it works. I have found in the past the unplugging and plugging back in solves a lot of problems too.
    Now that it is all set up, I can see and reconfigure the Airport Express in the Airport Utility even when internet sharing is on.
    Hope this helps.

  • Second AirPort Express Basisstation not found after update

    Hello!
    I'm trying to set a second AEBS in client mode (as defined on http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108040), because I want to use it for AirTunes while I'm connected to the Internet thru the other AEBS I've had.
    I'm following the instructions founded in the support-sites: I do a hard reset for my second AEBS and then configure it with the AirPort Utility (latest version) to use the existing network of my first AEBS.
    Everything is ok *ONLY if I let the network unprotected*!
    As soon as I try to use some kind of protection (thru WPA/WPA2 and password or by hiding the name of the network or even restricting the computers aloud to access the network thru the MAC-adresses), the second AEBS couldn't be founded anymore after the update.
    I've tried this from my MacMini PPC running Leopard and from a pre-latest MBP running Tiger ... both succesless!
    Do you have any advice?
    Thanks!
