Mynow.co.uk and Airport express problems

I use mynow.co.uk which is a wireless broadband provider ie. you dont need a phone line.
I had this connected to my airport express using PPPoE. It worked fine until my airport express just stopped working (it was dead).
I bought a new airport express and set it up the same way but now it just say 'looking for PPPoE' for ever. I sure all the conections and settings are fine.
Help, what gives?

It only ever happened to me when I mistyped the IP password. Presumably you've triple-checked all that stuff.

  • MacBook Pro and Airport Express = Problem?

    Seem to be having problems when I boot my Macbook it doesn't connect to my airport Express. I have checked my windows laptop and have no issues at all. Also when my macbook goes to sleep sometimes it doesn't connect back up I have to select the SSID and connect up again.
    Tried the usual things changes ssid - channel and so on, I am currently using WEP 128 otptions 802.11g.

    Hi,
    Try:
    1.) System Preferences->Network->Network Port Configurations- Drag Airport to the top of the list, and uncheck ports you don't need.
    2.) System Preferences-Network-Airport and select join Automatic.
    This should solve your problem.

  • ITunes and Airport Express Problem

    I try to switch my iTunes audio output from computer to my stereo speakers 'My Room'. I receive a message saying: The remote speaker 'My Room' is not compatible with this version of iTunes.
    As I understand this message, iTunes does not like either a) the setings of AX or B) AX at all.
    I have updated my iTunes to version 7.0.1.
    Any ideas?
    Power Book G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    That's strange because my Airtunes works flawlessly with my Macmini amd iTunes 7. Have you updated th Airport software to the most recent availiable? That could cause problems. (To update, go to Applications, Utilities, Airport Admin Utility. And Click configure.
    If I have helped or solved your problem, please select "Helpful" or "Solved" on this post.

  • HT4628 Intermittent reception when streaming music via Airport Extreme and Airport Express to powered speakers. Is this a problem with the Extreme?

    i get intermittent reception when I stream music from I Tunes via Airport Extreme and Airport Express to powered speakers. I Tunes continues to play uninterupted on the Mac.  The problem does not lie with the Express as it occurs on both of my 2 Express at the same time. is this a problem with the Extreme?

    Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
    One explanation I see:
    my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
    So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
    Anyone's got anything to add?

  • Bt Infinity, HH3 and Airport Express

    am thinnking about taking BT infinity. THis apparently needs HH3. Have seen threads about connection problems between HH3 and airport express. (I had similar problems with HH2, so resorted to old BT Voyager)
    1. does anyone know if problems with HH3 and airport express can be fixed
    2. Can I use BT infinity with a BT Voyager
    thanks

    Re: "If you get Infinity you will not need the HH3 in the first place you can just connect the Airport Express to the Openreach modem."
    No use at all. I don't know what you use your Airport Express for, but mine is used to send music to our hi-fi, and so has to be connected to the hi-fi. Therefore it cannot also be connected to the modem.
    This worked fine when I used to get my internet via (whisper quietly) Virgin. But with BT Infinity it would lose its connection every now and then. Apple provided a free replacement but that was no better. Following a few tips (e.g. connect to one's laptop via ethernet cable for setup) I was able to set up a connection eventually, but it still loses connection quite frequently. Interestingly enough, resetting the hub gets it going again, though restarting AE does not!

  • Is there a limit to the number of airport extremes and airport expresses one should have in a network?

    Is there a practical limit to the number of airport extreme base stations and airport express units one should have in a home network?

    Then, I had an older Airport extreme that I was thinking about connecting wirelessly in my living room and connecting the DirectV DVR to it by ethernet cable.
    Is this older AirPort Extreme the "round" version or the "square" shaped version? The "round" version will not do what you want.
    Whenever you extend an AirPort using wireless only, you will experience a loss of bandwidth (speed) on the entire network. That loss might be anywhere from 15-50% depending on how far the extending AirPort device is located from the "main" AirPort.
    Even with an excellent signal, if you have 3 AirPorts extending the signal, you will lose 40-50% of the bandwidth on the network. The other AirPorts that are being used just for music are also slowing things down.
    He thought there might be problems with using that third airport with the DVR and wondered if I should just use an Airport express there.
    It would make no difference whether you used an AirPort Extreme....assuming it was the "square" version or a new AirPort Express as far as performance is concerned.
    As to whether you connect the DVR to another AirPort, it might be OK, but you will not know until you try. 
    If you find that things slow down noticeably, you will need to look for ways to connect the AirPorts together using a wired Ethernet connection. This is always the preferred connection method since there is no bandwidth loss when you do this.
    Since downloading video places a high demand on a wireless network, you might want to look for a way to connect the DVR back to your "main" router directly using a wired Ethernet connection as well.

  • Unknown failure on TC and Airport Express

    Hello there,
    I've got some problems with connecting my TC and Airport express to extend my network.
    Both show up in Airport Configuration program, but then give an "unknown failure, please try again" notice.
    Tried is several times, but nothing works, even after a hard reset/factory reset.
    Anybody got an idea?
    Kind regards,
    Angelo

    I suggest that you back track a bit here when you say that you have problems with both the TC and AirPort Express (AX).
    If you power off the AX, is the Time Capsule working correctly?
    What version of AirPort Utility are you using to configure things?  If you are not sure, click the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on About AirPort Utility.
    Please post back with the version number that you see there.

  • Printer not working with Leopard and Airport Express

    Hello!
    I have seen that this is a common problem but I've tried several solutions that seemed to work for others but still not for me.
    I have a Macbook Pro unibody and airport express with OS X 10.5.6. I used a Samsung CLP-300 wirelessly though my airport express (with Tiger on my older macbook). The printer works fine when it is plugged into my USB on the Macbook but not on the airport.
    Here is what I've tried in the past 8 months:
    - update the Samsung printer driver
    - used "fixairport"
    - configured HP IP with airport local address
    - spent 2 hours on the phone with apple
    None of this seemed to work. The printer will print the first page and then any subsequent pages it gives me an error host message.
    If anyone can give me an idea of what did work for them in this situation, or maybe I'm doing something wrong, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.
    Steph

    kelscan, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You need to reconfigure your AirPort Express (AX) so that it joins the wireless network provided by the "modem". Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

  • Another Airport Express problem thread.

    Hi Everyone,
    I got a Powerbook recently and like many on these threads I am beset with Airport Express problems.
    Here's my story. I purchased my Powerbook about a month ago and popped into the Apple Store to ask about the best way to have wireless internet access at home. They recommended the D-Link DSL-300T ADSL modem and Airport Express. I purchased these items and set everything up at home. This didn't work. After a week of talking to Apple, I got the answer to my problem from a Mac message board. Supposedly the ADSL modem recommended by Apple and stocked in their online store wasn't compatible with the lastest version of Airport Express 6.2.0. So I dowgraded the firmware to 6.1.1 and everything worked fine. My next problem was after running an OS X software update which I can presume also updated the Airport Express back to 6.2.0. So again I downgrade to 6.1.1 and it works again. Then I have to get my Powerbook replaced as the refurb Apple sold me didn't have the superdrive in it that Apple advertised, so I transfer my settings and files and i can go online for a couple of days and then it stops working again. I do the downgrade again but this doesn't help. So I take it to see a genius at Apple who performs the AE update 2005-001 which he says will solve the problem of incompatability with 3rd party modems. Take it home, it doesn't work. Powerbook almost gets thrown out of the window.
    Why is something that should be so simple so difficult.
    My questions are does anyone have a D-Link DSL 300T modem that works with the update 2005-001 ???
    Why do Apple recommend an ADSL modem which doesn't work with their products ???
    What ADSL modem for the UK does work with Airport Express ???

    Hi Bollard, not sure whether this would work with the current model of the modem, but I ran into problems with the DSL300+ when first using it wit an airport extreme, back in 2003.
    I eventually resolved the problems by using the modem in bridging mode. Not sure if this would be applicable with the new model, or whether it work if you are needing PPPoA rather than PPPoE, but for what its worth my experiences and solution can be found at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607296&#607296 I've had a fair bit of positive feedback from people who found it worked for them, at least with similar equipment and connection protocol.
    Cheers

  • Airport Extreme and Airport Express conflict and failure

    I spent 2.5 hours on the phone with Apple and still could not get my Airport Extreme and Airport Express to function. My Apple TV failed as well:
    * Connected AEX through Airport Utility to internet. Airport Utility replaced my old configuration on my LinkSystem router. Green light.
    * Checked Apple TV. No connection available. Unplugged cable modem, waited 1 minute and tried again. Apple TV connected. No problem.
    * Flashing amber light on Airport Express for Airtunes. Does not show up in wireless device list. I call Apple.
    * Reset Express. Still no signal. Connect via Ethernet cable. Reconfigure. Green Light. Music works.
    * Check internet connection, in order. Apple TV fails. No connection to server.
    * Apple TV reset. No connection. No wireless network found.
    * Reset Airport Express. Reconfigure channel specifications. No connection with ATV or Airport Express.
    * Disconnect Airport Express. Reconfigure. With ATV disconnected I get Airport Express back. Green light but this time no music. Remote speakers appear on itunes, but no music is transmitted.
    * Did a total wireless reset on Extreme, and now both Express and ATV are not working.
    Frustrated and dissapointed I disconnected everything put back my 5 year old Linksys router and within 15 seconds both ATV and Airport Express worked flawlessly.
    How can this happen? What is wrong with this device? It is my second one in a week. The first one made no wireless connection to my Mac at all.
    After sulking for hours I tried again, this time leaving the Express out of the equation and reconfiguring the ATV to take over airtunes. After a reset it did fine. Now I have a pure n signal running at 5hz. ATV works again. So does internet.
    Any suggestions? Is there something I did not try?
    I tried the Firewall trick, the accept all incoming connections trick, the disabling of the iv6 trick, the join a wireless connection trick, and everything else Apple Care could think of.

    Maybe I was not clear enough on my post and configurations,
    I had a Linksys before I purchased the airport extreme. My airport express joined the Linksys network for the purpose of airtunes. This worked flawlessly from day one.
    Airport Extreme asked in the utility to take over an existing network or replace a router. If you chose this option it adopts all passwords, wpa/2 configurations for security and such.
    I chose this option thinking that since it is an apple product it would take over everything and work. My airport express had origianlly been set to join my old Linksys network. Since the airport extreme took over this configuration it should work.
    Apple stated many times that there seemed to be a conflict and kept asking me about the placement of my airport extreme.
    My Linksys was never part of a bridge or a network within a network. It was removed before the Extreme was ever turned on.
    After all the problems and hours of trying with Apple, i find it funny that all I had to do to restore eveything was plug my old Linksys back in and conect all the cables, and bam....it worked.
    So what is wrong with the airport extreme, or is there something wrong with itunes 8 and its interface with the express? For whatever reason the extreme cannot make the express and my ATV work at the same time.

  • Incredibly Perplexing AirPort Snow / AirPort Express Problem

    I was happily browsing the web until midnight last night, then nothing.
    1. Charter Cable Internet works fine when plugged directly into cable modem via ethernet cable
    2. Internet works fine wirelessly on both computers (iBook G4, MacBook, both running 10.4.10) when tapping into neighbor's wireless network (which is how I'm e-mailing you)
    3. Neither computer will access the internet on either our AirPort Snow or AirPort Express, even though we get a full signal and both are recognized. I have done hard resets on both to no avail. Note: the AirPort and AirPort Express are run one at a time.
    So, our wireless cards are fine. We can tap into a network. Our
    connection to the Internet is fine.
    What would be the problem for both computers and both the AE and AirPort when tapping into charter via the wireless system.
    I called the completely unhelpful people at Charter and they said no changes have been made to their protocol. But, the IP number I was being assigned was not a valid one. Of course, they had no interest in helping me get a valid one.

    Have you verified that the snow AirPort base station (ABS) and AirPort Express (AX) are configured properly to get an IP address from the cable modem? Did the ISP recently change settings?
    When you connect either the ABS or AX to the cable modem are you properly resetting the cable modem to detect a new device?
    When you connect either the ABS or AX to the cable modem, is the link indicator on the cable modem indicating a good connection to the ABS or AX?

  • Airport Extreme and Airport Express and Slingbox (and ProxySTA) = confused

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) acting as a router behind an Actiontec modem (in bridge mode) on Verizon in the east coast.
    I can connect my Slingbox Solo to the AEBS with an ethernet cable and set everything up to see video off the internet in another city - fine.
    But I really would like to have my Airport Express connect to my AEBS as a wireless bridge (using ProxySTA) with my slingbox connected to my Airport Express through a ethernet cable (they are in a different room from the AEBS).
    I've confirmed both my AEBS and Airport Express are the latest models, n-capable, etc.
    I think I've followed all the instructions correctly for setting up the wireless bridge (I followed these instructions: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2638404&start=15&tstart=0)
    I have also done port forwarding of the Slingbox Solo in AEBS (using the method discussed at the bottom of this page: http://forums.dealmac.com/read.php?4,2774962)
    Anyway the problem is that the slingbox is not working the same as when I had it connected to the AEBS directly by cable - the slingbox is "recognized", and is listed in AEBS's client list, but still regular video signals aren't coming through.
    (Please don't be too thrown off by the fact that this is a slingbox; the advice I'm looking for could apply to anything being connected, like an Xbox, a playstation, etc. )
    I've tried a few obvious things like hard re-sets of both Airports and the slingbox to no avail.
    I have a sense that the problem may have something to do with my port-forwarding and/or other settings -- I'm totally a babe in the woods here.
    There are a few issues I'm confused about, and would appreciate clarification on:
    For the port-forwarding ip address, was it correct of me to use the "DHCP reservation" ip address I had setup in AEBS for the slingbox?
    For the Airport Express settings, should I have selected the "join network" or the "extend network" option (I've read conflicting advice about this)?
    I configured the port-forwarding of the slingbox ip address before setting up the wireless bridge configuration. What is the interplay between these 2? Do the wireless bridge settings need to be integrated into the port-forwarding settings in some way? Should the wireless bridge ip address be port-forwarded in addition to the slingbox ip address?
    I have come across this discussion (second from last post): http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=84151&highlight=proxysta which introduced these new questions to me - how should I set up my settings at AEBS ->Internet->NAT? Should I enable default host? enable NAT port mapping? what should be filled in if using Enable default host?

    But I really would like to have my Airport Express connect to my AEBS as a wireless bridge (using ProxySTA) with my slingbox connected to my Airport Express through a ethernet cable (they are in a different room from the AEBS).
    It's not documented in Apple's user guide, but the only way to use ProxySTA is configure the AirPort Express to "join" a wireless network and "enable ethernet clients" during setup.
    The Express will not provide any additional wireless coverage when it is configured to "join". It simply receives a wireless signal from your main router and provides a signal at the ethernet port. In effect, it becomes another LAN port on your main router supported by a wireless connection. (You won't get ethernet speeds...you'll get wireless speeds).
    The main advantage of setting the AirPort Express up this way is that it provides better bandwidth performance.
    If you use the "extend a wireless network" setup, the Express provides more wireless coverage in the area where it is located AND the ethernet port is also enabled in this configuration. But, there is some bandwidth loss providing the additional wireless coverage.
    So, it's a compromise to choose which setup will provide you with the best performance. If you don't need the additional wireless coverage from the Express, the "join" setup would be the best choice, performance wise.
    If you have the Express setup to "extend" now, you can perform a simple test to see if you got the configuration right. Just plug in a laptop to the ethernet port on the Express, turn off the wireless on the laptop, and see if you get an internet connection when you open your browser.
    If you do, the configuration is correct. If you don't, something is not right with the configuration of the Express.
    Sorry, I can't help on the port forwarding questions. That really should be another post.

  • Best Router with DSL Modem for use with AT&T DSL and Airport Express?

    I recently had my old 2WIRE from AT&T DSL service die, so purchased a new 2WIRE 2701HG-B. My old 2WIRE worked with my Airport Express, which is hooked up to my DVR for DirecTV use. The new 2WIRE apparently is not compatible with the Airport Express, so I returned it and purchased a NetGear Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL modem. While this one does work with the Airport Express setup, it runs very slow. This router has mediocre reviews, so I'd like to find a better one.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions for a Router w Modem that would work best with my AT&T DSL and Airport Express (802.11n) within the $100 - $150 price range. Thanks!

    Configure the Express as a bridge: Connect via "Ethernet", and set Connection Sharing to "off (bridge mode)".
    The switches ought not to be a problem, and I don't know why your router froze. The Express is simply another wired client, just like a computer might be.
    do I turn off DHCP on the router,
    No. Something has to provide routing functions so leave the Linksys alone.

  • Wireless modem and Airport Express.. one at a time

    Recently my internet provider upgraded my old plug in modem to a newer wireless model. Now it seems that the current setting allow communication with only one or the other at the same time. If I want to be online with the wireless modem and send my iTunes music via Airport Express to my sound system, no dice. I have to either click on the modem up in the Airport choices to be online and listen to iTunes through the computer speakers, or go offline to listen to music through the sound system and Airport Express.
    I'm sure I'm just missing something in preferences or settings somewhere.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks, and Happy New Year!

  • How to Set Up Time Capsule With Airport Extreme and Airport Express

    Just got a new 1TB Time Capsule. I want it to be the main base station for my network. I already have a network set up with an older Airport Extreme base station and an Airport Express to extend it. I am thinking that rather than setting up the Time Capsule to "join" the old network, the best approach is to disconnect the Airport Extreme and Airport Express and reset them. Then set up the Time Capsule as a brand new network and bring the reset Aiport Extreme and Express onto the new network as if my original network never existed.
    Is that the right approach or am I complicating it? Can I just join the Time Capsule to the existing network and still make it the main base station for the network?

    I'd first use AirPort Utility to "Save a Copy As" of your AirPort Extreme settings. Then disconnect it, connect the Time Capsule in its place, and use AirPort Utility's "Import" function to read those settings. (Both of those functions are under AirPort Utility's "File" menu.) You may have to adjust a few settings. Once you have the Time Capsule working as you want, you can reconfigure your AirPort Extreme unit as you wish.
