Phoneline - DSL Moden - Wireless Router - Airport Express

Is it possible? My DSL line runs into my modem which continues to a crappy D-Link wireless router. I then wire an outgoing ethernet cable from the D-Link to my Airport express. I can join the network but I can't get on the internet. Any suggestions?

Never mind, I found it all by myself.

  • IMac, Netgear wireless router & Airport express

    I've recently purchase my first apple mac: a iMac G5 and would appreciate some help regarding my wireless set-up. In a nut shell...
    I have netgear wireless ADSL router in one room (physically connected to a PC but that's not really relevant). The next nearest wireless 'thing' to this is my iMac. The iMac easily connected to my wireless network and works great.
    In another room (nearer the iMac than the netgear router) is my airport express, which I want to stream music to from itunes on the iMac. It works, but is only just in range and the connection drops frequently (so is not suitable for playing music through).
    My question really is, (without purchasing further kit - or moving the existing kit around), can the airport card in the iMac be used to extend the range of the network? (it seems to me as if the airport extreme is connecting through the netgear router that's further away rather than the iMac).
    Or perhaps, is it possible for me to have the iMac simultaneously connected to 2 networks: 1 connecting it to the netgear router (and therefore the web and the windows PC), and a 2nd network just between the iMac and the airport express (to just steam music).
    Any thoughts or help would be gratefully received...
    PS
    So far I've dead impressed with the iMac and the software too - it's a chore to come to work and have to use a windows box!)

    Dan, Welcome to the discussion area!
    ...can the airport card in the iMac be used to extend the range of the network?
    Sorry, but no that won't work.

    No, the iMac can not simultaneously be the client of a wireless network and act as a server on a wireless network.

  • Linksys wireless router + Airport Express

    Hello Everybody,
    I just installed the Linksys wireless router to share Internet and printer - works fine with my G5.
    But - now I cannot see the airport station anymore which I used to transfer music to different rooms. If I start Airport exp. administration programm, it shuts down the wireless connection to the router.
    So how to install now?
    Thanks for help

    Hard reset the Airport Express and configure it join your new Linksys wireless network.

  • Wireless router / airport express suggestion?

    i just bought a macbook pro, and would like to know if anyone recommends the aiport express over the extreme. also, with its built-in wireless, do i even need one of these routers?

    I hear a lot of problems with some third-party routers, so bought the AEBS when i got our first notebook in January. I also wanted the AEBS to support several wired Macs.
    At this moment, the AEBS is providing excellent service to three wired Macs, an MBP, and a PowerBook G4, and supporting two networked printers. Performance has been perfect, and the two wireless machines can get a full signal anywhere in out largish house including downstairs (router is upstairs), on the front porch, and on the deck.
    If you have more than one computer or need to network a printer, definitely consider the Airport Extreme Base Station.

  • I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express.  I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.

    I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express.  I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.  I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result.  I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.

    Hi,
    I am currently replying to this as it shows in the iChat Community.
    I have asked the Hosts to move it to Snow Leopard  (you should not lose contact with it through any email links you get)
    I also don't do Wirelss printing so I can't actaully help either.

  • Best way to extend wireless via airport express and time capsule

    best way to extend wireless via airport express and time capsule
    i live in a two storey house where i use my airport express to create a wireless network in the main floor, and time capsule to extend it in the upper floor, where my room is. i have like 16 mbps in the main floor, and 2-3 mbps in the upper floor after having speediest.
    i used time capsule in the upper floor because i use wireless backup daily and don't want to put internet down while i im doin it and consequently my parent can have internet access in the main floor, am i right? or do i have make just the opposite in order to have a good internet speed?
    secondly, while checking airport express wireless mode on airport utility, there is like 4 different type of radio mode(802 11n bg comp, 802 11n 2.4, 802 11n a comp, 802 11n 5ghz) which i have no idea what they mean
    what do you recommend?
    we have like iphone4, iphone 3g, mbookpro, ipad, ipad 2, samsung tv and a sony vaio laptop in the wireless network
    thank you

    What you have would appear to be working but I can comment how I would redefine your setup.  Note that both Airport Express and Time Capsule can function as wireless base stations so you do have wireless everywhere and at all times — using the Time Capsules for backups doesn’t mean your parents won’t have internet access regardless of the where the base stations are located.
    You appear to have devices to connect to your network that use the 2.4 GHz band with 802.11g such as the iPhone 3G and perhaps the 5 GHz band with 802.11n such as likely the Macbook Pro if it’s a recent model.  The iPhone 4 can use 5 GHz and 802.11n.  Can’t comment on the Sony and Samsung but you can check their specs.
    Now the Time Capsule (if it’s a recent version), can simultaneously supply 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band signals, but the Airport Express (if it’s recent) can only use one of those bands at one time.  Likely the lowest common denominator for your devices is going to be the 2.4 GHz band since the devices that are capable of using 5 GHZ also support 2.4 GHz.  If you don’t use 5 GHz, you won’t lose much in a two-storey home because likely it’s the 2.4 GHz band is better signal anyway because 5 GHz signals drop off quickly with several walls/floors to penetrate.
    You also didn’t mention if the Airport Express is used to support a printer and/or AirPlay (using iTunes to play on remote speakers via the Airport Express connection) but that might also be a factor in the best location to place the Airport Express.  Although the printer could be switched between the Time Capsule and the Airport Express if needed, only the Airport Express will support your remote speakers.
    Recommend you use the Time Capsule as the Base station.  When using Airport Utility to define the network, after you name your network, etc., select the Wireless tab, check the box “Allow this network to be extended” and set the Radio Mode to "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)”.
    Using the Airport Utility, click on the Airport Express; after you define the device and network name, select the Wireless tab, define the Wireless Mode as “Extend a Wireless Network” and check the box “Allow wireless clients”. 
    Hope that helps.

  • When I connect my iphone directly to my receiver then connect to spotify, it plays through both speakers but when I connect wirelessly through airport express it only comes out through one speaker. Any thoughts?

    When I connect my iphone directly to the receiver through a cable, it plays Spotify just fine but when I try to play wirelessly through Airport Express, it only plays through one speaker. Any thoughts?

    yeah, that's what I figured.. I guess I'll try now to figure out exactly how to do that!

  • Since upgrading, both our wireless printers are still visible, but OSX will not connect with them.  Both work via connecting from other sources via the same wireless router (airport).  What do I need to do to get my printing/scanning working again?

    Since upgrading, both our wireless printers are still visible, but OSX will not connect with them.  Both work via connecting from other sources via the same wireless router (airport).  What do I need to do to get my printing/scanning working again?

    First thing to try is reset Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Next would be reset the router (power off 15 secs then back on). And, 2 minutes later, reset the printers 1 by 1.

  • Cannot Print Wirelessly thru Airport Express

    I've seen this question before w/o an answer. I installed Airport Express, works beautifully and instantly like all Mac stuff. I can print ok from my iMac wirelessly thru Airport Express to an HP Photosmart 8450 connected to the Airport USB port. Then I try to print with my legacy machines (3 IBM Thinkpads w/ Win XP) wirelessly...it just doesn't work. I followed the instructions in the Express manual, created the port connection, etc., nothing. If I connect the USB cable directly to the Thinkpad it prints ok. I checked in the list and the printer is supported.
    I've tried to find an answer for this for days. I know many people go thru the same. Hints? Thanks

  • Printing wirelessly via Airport Express to DSL hub to ethernet printer?

    This seems like a fairly standard set up.
    My iBook prints just fine when cabled directly to the DSL (Verizon/Westell Versalink 327W) cabled to the ethernet printer, and connects wirelessly just fine through the Airport Express (AX) cabled to the DSL hub, but I can't print wirelessly.
    My questions are:
    - The hub IP is 192.168.1.1, and the printer is 192.168.1.10. I changed the AX IP (Airport Admin Utility: Network) from 10.0.1.1 addressing to 192.168.1.1 addressing, but that didn't do anything. Does this matter?
    - In Airport Admin Utility: Internet, the router address is 10.0.36.1. Does this matter? Should it be 192.168.1.X?
    Note: In the Printer Setup Utility, when the iBook is cabled directly to the hub, the printer is automatically identified when I type in the printer IP address under HP Jet Direct Socket, as 'HP Laser Jet 4000 Series' is automatically and correctly selected. This does not happen when connected wirelessly.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The problem is that your wireless connection is creating a different subnet. To remedy this, configure the AirPort Express so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED.

  • Netgear WGR 614 Router & Airport Express

    Hello everybody
    I would like some help with setting up my new Airport Express. This is my set up:
    eMac connected to Netgear WGR614 router via ethernet cable
    Broadband modem (Telewest / Virgin Media) conected to Netgear WGR614
    Toshiba Lap to with wirless card installed
    All of the above work like a dream
    I have networked both my Mac & PC and can share files / print / and surf the web
    I am running Leopard on my eMac, when I installed the set up disc it said this disc does not support this OS - very strange. I plugged in my Airport Express to the wall, and I went to Airport utility with in Utilities - scanned my network and got nothing.
    I hard wired my Airport Express to my Netgear router - Nothing!
    I hard wired my Airport Express to my Toshiba lap top connected to my wirless network - Nothing
    Your help and assistance would be much appriciated.

    Hi Nick, welcome to this section of the Discussions.
    You will sometimes have to answer a few questions before your answer is handed to you. <wink>
    1) Do you already have a broadband (DSL, Cable) internet?
    2) Do you have an ethernet cable coming OUT of your broadband device?
    3) If so, is that ethernet going into the computer, now?
    4) Have you browsed the netgear website for your documentation? (I have: http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/wgr614.asp
    Somewhere on this device, there's a reset button. A router from ebay should probably be Reset...before you try to connect it. That way any previous owner's info will be wiped out. (power up router, find reset button, push & hold it in 5-seconds. A small paper clip may be required for this task).
    Then you can follow the instructions from Mfr.
    ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/wgr614v4installguide.pdf
    (Hint: the ethernet cable that has been going to the mac will now go to the WAN/Internet port on the router. An extra ethernet cable should then go from LAN port on router to <--> port on Mac).
    Wireless configuration can then be done (SSID, encryption, etc.) refer to the manual foind at mfr's website...
    Hope some of this helps. Good Luck

  • PC will not Recognize Wireless Open Airport Express Network

    I am trying to connect my computers to the Airport Express base station. Decided to upgrade the wireless internet router to n speed from g and the signal kept dropping. I've used an extreme and express at work set them up and have them running for both PC and Mac however, when i ran this express at home 2 MacBooks picked up the signal no problem however, the Dell PC did not. I disabled all firewalls on the PC, even made the network open with no encryption and still the PC did not recognize the device. It is not a range issue as i had the Dell 1 room away and even checked the selection for it to protect against device interference. The apple help told me to reboot and try everything i mentioned above. His final suggestion was to purchase a Mac, not really the solution i was looking for. Any help or further suggestions would be helpful thanks! I love Mac products and they just work so i am scratching my head over this one I am sure it is on the Dell side.

    Hi again,
    Yes you can use an All-in-One HP to do 'All' it's functions wirelessly... with an Ethernet Printer and Connection. (I believe HP calls them "Network Ready"). I am doing my HP 2500 series this way, and yes, it Scans too. It does depend on which printer port you use and how the printer responds. It's Ethernet Port works well, but the USB does not... tried both plugs with the Airport Extreme. Also, the Airport Express has both plug types, I'd use the Ethernet one.
    Another thing, I had to enable "AppleTalk" with this printer to get through the barrier and have it scan. AppleTalk uses the 'same' language as the printer (or visa-versa???), and I believe this is the way HP is using to have more of it's printers usable with us Mac owners.
    As the 6300 series is a small business printer, it should be Network Ready (and have an ethernet port on the printer) and be able to be done similar to my network ready 2500 series. But with two different series, I'm not sure how HP equipped yours... that is why it's nice to read up on all the stat's and work a rounds on their web-site.

  • Printing wirelessly with Airport Express to HP psc1350 suddenly stopped

    I have an imac G5 running OS X 10.3.9. I am wirelessly connected to a router (D-Link 624) to run the internet and am also wirelessly connected to an airport express to print to my HP psc 1350. I set all this up myself and it was running without any problems. However, I decided that it was probably best to add some level of security to my internet connection so added WPA security into the mix. I had to reset the airport express and connect it back up to the network (which took me a little time to work out, but I managed to do it!) and then I tested the printer and it worked perfectly. A couple of days later I needed to print something so turned the printer on again and nothing. I kept getting an error about printer connection failing. So I thought, I'll unistall the HP software and reinstall it from the CD. Nope - the CD refused to install. So, I went to the hp page and found what I thought was the right software, and installed it and that seemed to install but not help the matter. I can see the printer under Rendezvous, but it says "driver not installed". Plugging the printer directly into the imac works fine so the driver must be installed. What I can't understand is that it all worked fine before, and even after I changed the security settings so surely that can't be the problem. But how do I get it back?

    I had no choice but to run through the HP installer from the CD - there was no option to install the driver separately. I uninstalled the downloaded software that I had installed thinking it would fix it! The CD is old (well, at least 2 years old) so I don't think there is any chance the software on the installer could be too new. I had previously set up the printer to print wirelessly and it worked like a dream. I am positive that I did not go to that much trouble when I originally installed it - I would have given up! So it seems strange when I go through what I presume I did before that it won't work now. I thought macs were supposed to be easy - I guess it is if it is plug & play, but once something goes wrong it is hard to find what the problem is - especially for non-technical people like me!

  • Time Capsule/Third Party Router/Airport Express/Printer/MacBook/27 in. iMac

    I could really use some help.
    I have a Gigaset router hooked up to my broadband connection. That is connected to my Time Capsule via an ethernet cable. I use the wireless off the Time Capsule for both my MacBook and my 27 in iMac (which is located in another room), that is hooked up to my HP LaserJet printer. I have an AirPort express that I want to have in my iMac room so that I can print wirelessly from my MacBook and eventually from my iPhone (but I don't need to figure that out yet). I can not seem to get my Airport Express to connect to my Time Capsule. Thanks for your help!

    Most likely not, as very few non-AirPort routers are WDS-compatible with the AirPorts.

  • What printers work on MacBook Pro Wireless or Airport Express Connected

    I still cannot get my Samsung 1750 to print more than one time before having to reboot the AE. I am getting sick of this and worse, I am rather annoyed that Apple is not fixing what seems to be a reather pervasive problem affecting most every printer connected to the AE that previously had worked.
    I am now thinking of buying another printer since I cannot keep rebooting the AE and I am so sick of reading of the non-solutions to this problem.
    Can you all please recommend to me which printers actually do work? I notice that Brother makes a model that works wirelessly irrespective of any wireless router. Do you have any bluetooth or other wireless suggestions? Or other printers which DO work connected to the Airport Express.
    Thanks in advance!

    Mircaculously I was able to get my Samsung 1750 to print. I am so happy.
    So the question is mute for me but perhaps others will find this thread of interest. However, noticing that so few people have responded (none thus far), I can only say that this seems to be a question that ought to be answered so that others buy printers that do not cause immense hair loss.
    Cheers.
