Problem connection Airport express Fritzbox 7360 lion

I cannot connect my airport express to stream music anymore sinds I installed my new Fritzbox 7360 and Lion.
what tot do?

HI Agnes,
To check your OS to see what version you are running. Click on the Closed Apple in the most upper left corner of your screen. Then scroll to About this Mac. a window will appear and will tell you some basic info. like what version OS you are running. If you want to know more about your computer then click on " more info. " button. A program called System Profiler will launch and give you all the info on your computer.
As for Airport you can find out what version you have in the System Profiler. Just toggle the Software triangle and click on software. this might take a minute or so depends on how many programs you have. then find Airport and then you will know what version you have.
Another way to find out what Airport version you are running is to launch/open the Airport Admin Utility app. you can find it in Applications folder>Utilities Folder>Airport Admin Utility. After it is open click on Airport Admin Utility in the most upper left corner of your screen just to the right of the closed apple. scroll to About Airport Admin Utility and click. a small window will appear and you will know what version you are running.
As for Firmware on your Airport Express, Airport Admin Utility needs to detect it before you can find out what version you are running. I have not tried to install the firmware update with out my Airport Admin Utility not detecting it. Not sure if it will work.
Ok I hope this helped...

  • Problems connecting airport express a1264 to bt homehub 3 router in bridge mode

    I cant seem to get this to work. When i had sky i could bridge my airport express to their router and create a new network so i could extend the network upstairs using another airport express.
    I just cant seem to get it to work with the bt homehub 3. can anyone help?

    Althrough have no experience of the device this Netgear extender has apparently been used with Home Hub (Ver 2) with success.
    Netgear WN1000RP
    Every "free Netgear router" i have received from ISPs in the past has been slung in a large box and forgotten.
    Much prefer Cisco or Apple with the ISP device simply being a modem.

  • How to Connect Airport Express to Existing Wireless Network (Client Mode)

    I am posting this for everyone tearing their hair out trying to connect the Airport Express to your own existing home wireless network. After spending 2 hours last night installing this on my father-in-law's home network, I hope to be able to save someone else the agony we went through.
    So here's the situation:
    Say you already have your own home network set up, and all you want is to be able to use AirTunes to play music off iTunes into your speaker system. And, you don't need the printer sharing capability nor creation of another wireless network (2 of the features of Airport Express). Then this solution is for you - read on.
    Unfortunately, Apple's user manual is very unclear how to connect Airport Express to your own network. When you look at the picture diagram they provide, they show Airport Express picking up its signal from another Apple-oriented base. This can make you think you need to buy another piece of hardware to make it work. DON'T If you read through the manual, the Support section here, etc., you will hear lots of talk about "Client Mode" - and that this is the only way to get it to work. Nice - but no one really tells you how to set up the Airport in client mode.
    Do yourself a favor, toss that user manual aside and run these steps.
    (Note: These directions assume your DSL/Cable Modem is hooked up to a wireless router or acts as its own wireless router)
    1. Get a cat5 Ethernet cable (anything but an orange cable - that's a crossover cable) like you would use to connect your PC to your router to pick up the Internet.
    2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the router on one end, and to the Airport Express unit on the other end.
    3. Plug in your Airport Express unit to the wall (this will not necessarily become its permanent location - you will be able to move it later). The light will glow solid Amber for about 30-45 seconds while it starts up, then blink Amber. At this point, the unit is ready to operate.
    4. Install the CD to the PC where your iTunes music is stored. This should be painless. Once you open the program, it should detect the Airport unit.
    5. At this point, the on-screen wizard will present you with your options, and walk you through the setup. This is much like the user manual describes - and you should be good to go form here forward.
    Some pointers:
    - When asked if you want to create a new network, join an existing network, or connect via Ethernet, choose the middle option for joining an existing network. You will need to know the name of your network, the password to connect to the network (if present), and the type of encryption used on the network (e.g. WEP, WPA, etc.). Side note, WPA is recommended, as it is a higher level of security than WEP. You will be able to configure the Airport Express unit to automatically login to your network.
    - I would recommend, when creating a password for the Airport Express unit, use the same password as your network, to avoid confusion.
    6. The very last step will ask you to save the settings to the Airport Express. Here's the kicker - when you save the settings, you are TRICKING the Airport Express into no longer acting as a network broadcaster, but instead being a "slave" to your own network. What do I mean? You will lose the connection from your PC to the Airport Express - an error message will pop up telling you the unit can no longer be found. While you might think you did something wrong, you actually were successful!
    7. Unplug your Airport Express, and disconnect the Ethernet cable from your router and the Airport unit. This will no longer be needed.
    8. Go to your desired location where you want to plug in your Airport Express unit. Before plugging it in, connect your Audio cable from the Airport Express to your audio receiver. Once that is connected, then plug in the Airport Express unit. The light will glow solid Amber for 30-45 seconds while it loads, and then will blink Amber for a brief period of time before turning solid GREEN. When this happens, you have successfully connected the Airport Express to your home network!
    9. Go back to your PC with iTunes. Open the Airport software - you should now have a listing for your Airport Express unit in the upper left. Click on this, and the wizard will guide you through connecting - you will need the password you created for the unit. You only need to go through this wizard once, and when finished, the software will tell you that can now use iTunes with your Airport unit.
    10. Open iTunes. On the lower right, you will see a dropdown for Speakers, and it should be defaulted to My Computer. Click on that drop-down, and you will see the name of your Airport unit. Click on that name, and now your music will broadcast to the Airport unit!
    11. Play a song in iTunes. Go to your audio receiver, and connect it to the channel for your external connection to the Airport Express unit. You should hear your music from iTunes. CONGRATULATIONS! =)
    I hope these instructions were helpful - I am happy to answer any questions, so feel free to contact me, *******************@*****.**.

    Thanks for the detailed directions. You are absolutely correct in stating that people should toss the user manual; it's pretty worthless. I have had a problem setting up my new Airport Express as I have described in an earlier post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1839873&tstart=45
    One quick question - does using your setup process set the AE up as part of a distributed network where the AE is acting as a wireless router where it is extending the range of your network? Or, is it simply a wireless connection to your stereo for iTunes? I am interested in having both, since my AE will be at the other end of the house from the main wireless router.
    Thanks

  • Can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously

    I can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously.  My old AE allowed this but can't make the new one work that way. 

    In your instructions, you say to use the same encryption type as the router has set up. well, I am using the WEP 64 bit encryption and the Airport Utility does not have this...it has 40 bit. Is this a problem, or do I have to be using a the same type of encrytion ?
    WEP is available in either 40 or 104-bit, but is usually "advertised" as either 64- or 128-bit respectively. For example, 64-bit WEP uses a 40 bit key (also known as WEP-40), which is concatenated with a 24-bit initialization vector (IV) to form the 64-bit RC4 traffic key. So, WEP 64 on the Linksys & 40-bit is equivalent.
    What concerns me more is the loss of bandwidth performance you are experiencing when connecting the AX. When the AX is configured as a wireless client it is acting just like any other wireless devices (computer, laptop, printer, etc.) and not like another router. This should cause little or no bandwidth loss. True the more secure the wireless encryption used WPA2 vs. WEP, the more overhead is required for security, but the differences you are seeing seem excessive.
    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing your Linksys from providing a good clean signal.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:
    For Macs:
    o MacStumbler
    o iStumbler, or
    For PCs:
    o NetStumbler

    I have MacBook Air 13 mid 2013 os x 10.9.5, ipad 4 ios 8.0.2, ipad4 ios 7.1.2 , iphone 5 ios 7.1.1
    When i try to use speedtest.net from my Macbook i got good results of download speed and incredible upload http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3801286946 (connection 300 Mbps) , both ipads got terrible speedtest download result and incredible uploadhttp://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/981631804 (connection 150 Mbps), iphone 5 got bad download and great uploadhttp://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/981695357.
    All these tests were done near airport express with really good signal and 5ghz. I tried to choose different channels, 802.11 mode, guest ssid, 5ghz ssid ...
    I think that something is wrong with my new airport express. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
    ps sorry for my bad english

    As a last resort, try a factory default reset on the AirPort Express as follows:
    Power off the AirPort Express
    Wait a minute
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
    On an iPhone or iPad home screen....
    Tap Settings
    Tap WiFi
    Look for a heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station. If it appears.....
    Tap on AirPort Express just below the heading to start the configuration process on the Express again
    If you try several factory default resets, and the AirPort Express does not appear under the heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station, the Express most likely is defective and will need to be replaced.

  • HT1515 Just installed Airport Express on Mac 10.6.8  Can't see base station.  Hard Reset the Airport.  Rebooted machine.  How can I tell if this is a Mac problem or Airport Express Problem?

    I have a Mac 10.6.8.  Just installed Airport Express.  I can't see any base stations.  I did a hard reset on the Airport Express, turned off all devices,  turned them back on.   I see plenty of Airport networks in the neighborhood.  How can I tell if I have a Mac problem or an Airport Express problem?  Airport Express blinks Amber. 

    Obviously,  I'm still using ethernet to be able to reply to this.
    Alright, use the same ethernet cable to plug directly into the airport express. This will FORCE the airport utility to now see it regardless of weak signals & interference. You can set it up that way.
    BTW, what is the original intent on the express?

  • Cannot connect airport express to ipad I keep receiving the message: "an unexpected error occurred" when I try to connect my Ipad to my airport express.  Does anyone have a solution?

    cannot connect airport express to ipad
    I keep receiving the message: "an unexpected error occurred" when I try to connect my Ipad to my airport express.  Does anyone have a solution?

    I could not "see" my Express via my wireless router or via the Airport Utility until I reset it to Factory Settings by unplugging it then holding in the tiny reset button while plugging it back in, waiting for the flashing yellow LED signal before letting go.
    Then I set it up to DHCP - "connect to wireless network" and DOWNGRADED the firmware to 7.3.x
    I would tell you the exact Firmware but I can no longer "see" the Airport express............ AGAIN or still.....
    BUT at least I am listening to music streaming from my MacBook Pro... Hmmm.
    I log back into the router (Linksys WRT110) and it no longer shows the Airport Express as a DHCP client AND the Airport utility can no longer "find" any Airport Devices..
    So if I don't move, or there are no cosmic events, or maybe my KARMA is effecting the device or my "VIBES" are good, but I'm not sure if will continue to work.. Sure would like to use this little device from hel*.
    Since I have had this Airport Express I have spent many hours trying to get it to work.
    It works just long enough to fool me and then takes a dump...
    Maybe this time?
    5 Minute later...
    Music was playing. I went into iTunes and switched from Airtunes to Computer speakers. When I tried to switch it back GUESS WHAT?
    [An unknown error (-15006) occurred while trying to connect to remote speaker "Airtunes"]
    Wonderful Green LED though. Totally useless piece of equipment AFAIK.

  • Connect airport express to router wifi not apple

    I already have a wifi router is not Apple, I have already configured iPhone and iMac to wirelessly, now I need to connect my hi-fi via an airport express (via wifi of course) I can connect "airport express" to a wifi router does not Apple via wifi?

    now I need to connect my hi-fi via an airport express (via wifi of course) I canconnect "airport express" to a wifi router does not Apple via wifi?
    Yes, the AirPort Express can "Join" virtually any wireless network if you know the name of the network, the exact type of wirelss security that is being used on the network and the wireless network password.
    The Express will work for AirTunes and/or allow you to connect a printer when it is configured this way.
    But....the Express cannot provide any additional wireless coverage for the network when it is configured to "Join" the network, so it will not "repeat" or "extend" the wireless network in this type of setup.

  • Cannot connect Airport express wireless

    Hello, cannot connect airport express wireless to linksys router.  Connected now with ethernet  cable but cannot figure wireless connection. My laptop cannot find the express while preforming setup scan, yet I'm connected to it.  I can connect with my iphone but not wirelessly. Any suggestions?

    ....I was then told over the phone that airport express will not connect to third party routers.
    This is NOT correct.
    The AirPort Express will connect to a wireless network if you know the following:
    1) The name of the wireless network
    2) The exact setting for wireless security that the network is using
    3) The wireless network password
    Most users know 1) and 3), but very few know the exact type of wireless security settings that their wireless router is using. The Express will not connect to the wireless network unless it receives all of the information listed above.
    So...we will assume that you know the name of the wireless network and the password for the network.
    Do you know the exact type of wireless security setting that your wireless router is using?  If not, the Express will not connect.
    You may need to check the setup of your wireless router....or if the router was supplied to you by an Internet Service Provider, they may be able to tell you what type of wireless security setting is being used.
    Post back when you have this info and we will proceed. There are still no guarantees that the Express will connect....but at least there may be a chance.

  • While connecting airport express, the airport utilities shows airport express but no set up menu

  • Come si configura airport express con mountain lion?

    Qualcuno sa come configurare o aggiornare airport express su mountain lion? Quando apro l'utility mi dice che questa versione non è supportata. Ho bisogno di un aggiornamento? Please help me!

    From Cult of Mac:
    "It’s simple: the secret sauce that Apple requires to make AirPlay Mirroring work is on-GPU H.264 encoding, or the ability to compress video on your device’s actual graphic chips without calling upon the CPU.
    It’s not just Macs that can’t use AirPlay Mirroring if they are older than 2011: even on the iOS side of things, you need a minimum of an iPhone 4S or an iPad 2 to use AirPlay Mirroring on your Apple TV. Why? Because older iOS devices don’t have on-GPU H.264 encoding either."
    I am not sure how this doesn't "make scence."  To be honest, I don't necessarily disagree with the two of you - Apple should have been more transparent in their release notes when specifying which computers are capable of AirPlay mirroring with Mountain Lion.  I guess I felt like I got burned by Apple back in 2005 when I bought an iPod Nano right after they released it and then they had the "One More Thing" unveiling of the new color iPod that played video, which I would have bought instead.  I realized at that point that it wasn't really going to be feasible to have all the "latest and greatest" of Apple's products without constantly breaking the bank.

  • How do i connect airport express to blue ray player

    wondering if i can connect airport express to blue ray player using usb for streaming, etc?

    Good question. The single port on the AirPort Express places it somewhat at a disadvantage in a situation like this. It's tempting to think that a setup like this will work:
    Modem > Ethernet Switch > Express & Blu-Ray Player both connected to the switch
    But, unfortunately, it won't. The reason is that the modem has only one IP address it can deliver and it can't go to two devices at the same time. It will be matter of chance as to which device...the Express or Blu-Ray Player....gets the IP address. The other device will not be able to connect to the Internet.
    Instead, what is required is a simple "wired only" router connected to the modem. So the corrrect setup will look like this:
    Modem > Wired Only Router > Express and Blu-Ray Player both connected to the router
    The router "shares" the IP address that it receives from the modem (an ethernet switch cannot do this) and provides simultaneous Internet connections to the devices that are plugged into the ethernet ports on the router.

  • Problem Keeping Airport Express Connected

    Hi,
    I have just bought the latest version of Airport Express to replace my original Airport Express.
    After updating to Mountain Lion, I was regularly getting error 15006 with my old express so I thought it was time to upgrade!
    I have set up my new Airport express to join my existing network and use Airport to stream itunes to my hi-fi. However, I keep losing connection and the Airport Utility shows ! and when I click on Airport Express Icon that tells me "Device not Found" and that the airport express was previously part of my network.
    Rebooting Computer sometimes solves the problem but I have had to try resetting. When I do manage to get connected, I keep the connection for as long as I am playing music. If I stop and restart later the connection is lost.
    I also have an Ipad. Whilst writing this I tried and sucessfully connected to my Airport Express. I now checked Airport Utility and my connection had been restored.
    What's going on? Is there anything I need to do to maintain connection?
    Jim

    Hi,
    Thanks for your comment.
    I have a BT Homehub 3 and I believe there are Some unresolved issues with using airport with this router.
    Does anyone have any suggestions.

  • Problems Printing: Airport Express connected HP Laserjet M1319f

    Hello,
    I have an Airport Express connected via ethernet to my network.  Attached to it is a HP LaserJet M1319f MFP printer, via USB.  I can get my iMacs and my Windows systems to print to the printer without a problem. 
    I would like to be able to print logs to it from my OS X Server (10.6.7), which is located quite a distance from the printer.  So far, I've had absolutely no luck configuring the Airport-attached printer and getting it to work.  From what I've been able to figure out, OS X Server expects any remote printer that it attaches to, to be attached via IPP, TCP/IP, or via Windows.  It doesn't seem to want to discover and use the printer via Bonjour.
    Any ideas on how I can make this work?  Am I missing something obvious?
    Thanks!
    Sven

    See if these guides help, it sounds like a driver issue. Does the printer work correctly when directly connected to the PC?
    Ensure that the Macs are not sharing the printer, as this is not needed and the PC should be able to find the printer on the AX.
