Netgear N600 and Airport Express working together... Any ideas???

My Netgear N600 daulband router just started giving me problems the last few days. So thinking I needed a new router I decided to go with an Airport Express. I ordered it and it's on the way. Now after swaping out the power supply cord on the Netgear it's working fine again. (the problem was in the power cord) Since I have the Airport Express coming I was wondering how I could use it with my Netgear N600 router. I have two Apple TV units and also use wifi with my ipad and iphone and laptop (non-apple).
Is there a way I can use the Airport express to extend my wifi thru out the house? Any ideas or thoughts on this? Should I just send it back? Open to all ideas. Thanks

So Bob let me ask you this, are anyone else that may have any ideas. Should I hook up the Netgear router first then wire the Airport Express to it, or the Airport Express first then wire the Netgear router to it. Will it make a diffrent? I think the Netgear N600 is faster, 600 vs 300. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks

  • I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas?

    I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas? I can hear the PC beep when plugging it in! I suspect a bad battery and trying to charge it ina wall charger made it hot!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.

  • Apple TV doesn't show up in iTunes when AirPort Express is running at the same time - Can't play music on both Apple TV and AirPort Express speakers together

    Hi there!
    I am trying to play music from my Mac on multiple speakers, Apple TV and AirPort Express. But as soon as the AirPort Express station is plugged in, the Apple TV does not show up in iTunes anymore. When trying the same using iPhones Remote app it works perfectly.
    Does anyone of you have an idea why iTunes does not show me both Apple TV AND AirPort Express? (it has nothing to to with the IP adress as the adresses are different).
    Thanks for any help!

    As my english isn't too good I made a screenshot to show you what I mean.
    As you can see in the image below iTunes only shows me the computer speakers and the AirPort Express. But at the bottom you can see that iTunes actually recognized 3 different speaker (Mac, AirPort, Apple TV 2). Why does the Apple TV not show up in the multiple speakers window? Any ideas?

  • Does The Airport Express Work with Any Router?

    Hi Forum,
    i have an old Linksys router G Wifi speeds, does the Airport Express work with this?

    The AirPort Express or other Apple routers will not wirelessly extend the signal from your Linksys router, if that is what you are asking here.
    If yes, use another Linksys product to insure compatibility between devices.

  • 2 airport expresses working together

    Can anyone help?
    What are the exact steps to connect two airport expresses to work together? I need to extend the range as I use my powerbook very far away from 1st airport express and having signal problems.
    Many thanks
    John

    The guide quoted uses the Airport Admin Utility.
    Personally I find using the Airport Assistant can be quicker and easier for most users.
    Configure the first base station, ensure it is working correctly.
    Connect to this network.
    Factory reset the second Airport Express, wait 5 minutes, do NOT connect to the new Airport network, stay connected to the existing wireless network.
    Run the Airport Assistant.
    Setup a new base station.
    Configure the second to extend the network of the first.

  • Netgear DG834G and Airport Express

    Hello,
    Can anyone help me? I've just upgraded to a Netgear DG834g Wireless ADSL router. This is connected via ethernet to my G5, and my iBook and girlfriends Powerbook connect to it wirelessley.
    Setting all this up took minutes. So far so good.
    BUT, I cannot get this to talk to my Airport Express.
    In the Netgear setup, I have added the AE to the 'Trusted' list (I used the MAC address on the side of the AE unit), but nothing will detect it.
    I've tried using Airport Setup utility on both the iBook and the Powerbook but neither device can see it.
    The amber light on the AE just flashes. I've even done a factory reset on it, but still no joy.
    I've read through some posts on here and I can see that folks have managed to get these two devices talking to each other, but what I want to know is How? Have I missed something obvious?
    Please help....
    BTW, I'm using OS X 10.4.2 on all machines.
    Many thanks

    Panic over - the AE needed a hard reset, and re-configuring through Netgear set up, and AE setup utility.
    All working fine now.

  • Netgear DM111P and Airport Express

    i just had the displeasure of setting up this particular combination. according to google a solution is desperately needed and the existing topics didn't really solve the issue...
    anyway, i managed to get it working and posted the solution on http://digitalmarried.com/lessn/1

    I have had exactly the same problem with the same symptoms.
    My Airport Express has worked perfectly with my Thomson/Alcatel SpeedTouch 510 ADSL modem, and originally, I set the system up in minutes. However, the SpeedTouch has just died, so I replaced it with a Netgear DM111P (which incidentally, is the only modem being sold via the French and Swiss Apple Stores). The DM111P was set up (PPPoE, account name & password as given by ISP) using the direct Ethernet connection, and within minutes I was on-line again. Connecting the Airport Express to the modem via the Ethernet cable, I was able to access my Airport connection as before (settings unchanged), but got the permanently scrolling message 'Searching for PPPoE host'.
    I wasted a whole weekend trying to find out why I could access the internet directly, but could no longer connect via the Airport Express (looked as if the modem and Airport were not communicating with each other). In my last ditch attempt, I found something that worked-
    System Preferences> Network> Airport:
    TCP/IP tab
    Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    Airport Admin Utility:
    Internet tab
    Connect Using: Ethernet
    Configure: Using DHCP
    DHCP ClientID: **********
    where ********** is the 12 character Airport Ethernet ID printed on the case of the Airport.
    Connected first time!

  • Apple TV and Airpot Express works together?

    I have read that Apple TV needs Airport Extreme to work (see requirements of Apple TV) . Does anyone know if is this working also with Airport Express that i have already bought and installed. If so why apple suggests the Extreme as a required equipment?

  • Netgear DG834N and Airport Express

    I have a network set up on my Netgear DG834N wireless router/modem. Can I 'add' an Airport Express base station to the same network and play iTunes through my speakers? At the moment it's on it's own network and that is far from ideal.
    thanks
    Jeff

    Welcome!
    Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Airport Utility
    Click on your AirPort Express and there is a guided step by step to walk you through the process.
    Basically, you want to "join" the network that the Netgear is creating by selecting the name of the network, security and passord. iTunes is enabled by default. You will need to assign a name to your Express and a device password, etc.
    Post back if you need more information.
    The Setup Guide may help as well.

  • Netgear router and airport express

    hi
    could someone please help me and tell me(in very simple terms!) how to extend the range of my network. my mini mac is too far away from my netgear DG834GT router and have been trying for days to use a/ex to reach it.Have tried everything i know which i freely admit isnt much but airport utility doesn't seem to see the router. i have seen people having similar problems but am hoping someone is out there to take me through it in words of 2 syllables or less! help

    charlie117, Welcome to the discussion area!
    The Netgear device is not compatible with Apple's WDS. Therefore there is no way to use your AirPort Express (AX) to wirelessly extend the range of the Netgear.
    You could run an Ethernet cable from the Netgear to the AX. Then the AX would create a wireless network at it's location which would be an extension of the Netgear's network.

  • Lost the airport express install cd, any ideas?

    I am helping my mom get her home network set-up and prior to installing the airport express the original case with the install cd has been misplaced. i figured it'd be no big deal as the software would be on the apple support page, but after a thorough search i cannot seem to find anything. help?

  • Netgear WNDR3300 and Airport Express

    I am having a problem with extending my network, I get all the way set up and when I choose to extend network and click on the network I want to extend I get a drop down error stating that network cannot be extended. Is my router not compatible with the Express or vice versa?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Unfortunately, Apple's "extend a wireless network" feature will only work if both your "main" and "remote" devices are newer Apple products. This feature is not compatible with other manufacturer's devices.

  • My wireless does not work on my ipad or my iphone.  It is connected and laptop and kindle both work.  Any idea why my apple products are not picking up the wireless?  They did in the past up until 2 days ago.

    My iphone and iPad suddently stopped picking up my wireless connection.  Other products are able to connect (laptop and kindle).  Any suggestions?

    Try resetting your wireless router by unplugging the router from the power for about 30 seconds then plugging it back in.

  • Mozilla is open and 'responding' but remains minimized and refuses to work. Any idea how to fix it?

    Furthermore, mousing over mozilla doesn't show a regular window, but a snippet of the top of one. I've restarted both mozilla and my PC multiple times, to no avail.

    The Firefox window might be off screen. If you make Firefox active, even though you can't see it, and press the following keys, can you get the window maximized?
    Alt+Spacebar<br>
    x
    <u>'''If you do get a maximized Firefox Window, you can use this trick: '''</u>
    (1) Copy the following line of code to the clipboard:
    newwin=window.open(window.location.href);newwin.moveTo(0,0);
    (2) In the maximized window, press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the web console.
    (3) Press Ctrl+v to paste the line of code then press Enter to run it. A new copy of that page should open in a window positioned at the top left of the screen.
    (4) Switch back to the maximized window and close it first, before doing anything in the new window.
    <u>'''If you do not get a Firefox window, try renaming or deleting the settings file which stores the last window position.'''</u>
    This also will clear any changes you've made to the toolbars.
    (1) Exit Firefox (if necessary, right-click the task bar icon and Close all windows)
    (2) Open your active Firefox settings (AKA Profile) folder: from the Windows 7 Start menu, type or paste the following into the search box and press Enter to launch the folder:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    If you only have one folder, it's easy, just double-click into that folder. If you have multiple folders, look for the most recently updated one.
    (3) Rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something else, like localstore-bad.rdf or localstore.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
    (4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now. Does the window appear normally?
