Problem with not getting Internet Connect on AirPort Express

Problem with not getting Internet Connect on AirPort Express (version7.6.4). Error says cannot get valid IP address. Have reset Siemens SpeedStream 4100 several time, even with tech support from the big "A" DSL provider. Plug MacBook Pro directly into modem and works fine. Unplugged AirPort, even reset it, still no luck. A bad Express?? or am not looking in the right place to make connection. Was working fine up until Sunday.

Connect the AirPort Express (AX) to the cable modem via Ethernet cable.
In configuring the AX using AirPort Utility:
Under Internet, set the connection to be Ethernet using DHCP.
Under Connection Sharing, set it to distribute a range of IP addresses.
Under AirPort>Wireless, set the Wireless Mode to Create a wireless network, and fill in the remaining settings in the same window. Until you get it working, you might want to set Wireless Security to None.

  • How to get internet connection from Airport Express to a PC?

    I recently bought an Airport Express to get internet connection from my new MAC COMPUTER TO ANOTHER PC which is located in another room. For unknown reason, I could not get the other PC to work. Any idea how to fix it so that I can get internet connection for my PC? Many thanks for your expert assistance.

    Currently, the Airport Express (not the Airport Express Extreme router) is acting as a base station via Ethernet to a cable modem.
    I guess that it would be correct to assume that your new Mac can connect wirelessly to the AirPort Express base station, and access the Internet that way.
    I am not sure if my 41/2 year old HP(Hewlect Packard) PC - (with AMD Athlon 64 3400 processor) which I am unable to get internet connection now is Wi-Fi capable.
    You said "Prior to using the new Airport Express,I was using the Linksys wireless G router and have a wireless adapter sitting on top of my PC.". The wireless adapter would be Wi-Fi certified (they normally are). Is it a USB adapter? Please post back with the exact model.
    Question: do I still need to use the adapter or not? Or the new Airport Express is enough to send internet signal to the PC?
    A Wi-Fi adapter would act as a wireless network card for a PC, and should communicate wirelessly with an AirPort Express base station without a problem (providing that the chosen security/encryption is supported on both sides). Since the wireless adapter apparently was OK (with the Linksys router), you should be able to continue using it. Any other (built-in) wireless capability ought to be externally visible at the PC as a PCI card with an antenna.
    Does the (Windows?) PC operating system detect any wireless networks? Is your AirPort Express on this list (even if you cannot connect or access the Internet)?

  • I'm having problems with my mobile internet connection

    I'm having problems with my mobile internet connection. Wifi works fine. It seems like my connection get lost every tuesday and friday between 11 and 12 am local time (guess it would be between 2 and 3 am Los angeles time for example). The connection won't comeback by itself. I have to turn the phone, iPhone 4s iOS 5.0.1, off and back on again. The connection immediatly works fine after the restart and stays fine for days. I really don't know what to do. My provider doesn't seem to know either. Tried a lot of things, new settings, resets, I even got a new iPhone. Still the same problem however. Richt now I changes the time setting to see it the problem occurs at another time. Btw: the phone doesn't say "no service" and I can send sms messages and make phonecalls. The 3G symbol or the circular symbol is shown next to the name of the provider.
    Does somebody has an idea what this might be? Thanks a lot.

    Update. My carrier says the antenna of my iPhone 4s is not so good as the one in the iPhone 3G. They can't solve the problem. Their signal is too weak for the 4s at places I spend most of my time. Not the answer I expected, but I'm free to choose an other carrier. Hope this will help.
    This was not the correct answer, I accidentially clicked the button..

  • My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection.

    My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi.  It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection.  One question is how to delete some of the networks that I don't use.  Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
    Thanks.

    Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
    It shouldn't but sometimes deleting the list of networks actually does solve the problem you are describing. Have you turned WiFi off and then back on on the computer?

  • Intermittent internet connection via airport express

    I've got a MacBook Core Duo and a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo...both with airport express. My internet connection is via a DLink DI-624 to Motorola cable modem. The DI-624 is setup with WPA security...which has been working fine for my windows laptop and PDA.
    I've been getting random problems with web surfing even though the airport express icon shows full bars. During those problem times, safari reports no internet connection.
    I've noticed that I can sometimes bring internet connection back by turning off the airport (via the icon at the top) and then turning it back on. Don't like this, as wireless connection should just work...and this doesn't always fix it.
    Suggestions?
    Thank you.

    I am currently using the 802.11n Airport Express (firmware 7.4.2) as a wireless router to serve 2 802.11g Windows PCs. However, our internet connection seems to have slowed significantly recently.
    When I connect directly via a LAN cable, my download speed is 25+ mbps. However, the download speed slows to only 6-7 mbps when connected wirelessly via the Airport Express. The speed remains this slow even when only one computer is connected wirelessly.
    In general an Ethernet connection will be faster than a Wi-Fi connection.
    In AirPort Utility for Mac (which ought to be similar for the same program for Windows) you can enter "manual setup" mode, then select the "Advanced" panel, click the "Logs and Statistics" button, then click the "Wireless Clients" tab. If you can do that, what values do you see in the lower part of the window for "SIgnal" and "Noise"?

  • Problems with graphics and Internet connection - iMac 2011 with Lion

    First: sorry about my english... It is terrible! lol
    I have an 2011 iMac, purchased in June 2011 in the USA. I brought the iMac to Brazil.
    Sometimes when I turn on my iMac, the graphics are horrible and can not connect to the Internet. When this happens, I have to restart the Lion.
    Apple introduced the "iMac FW Graphic Update 3.0". The information says clearly that supports Brazilian Portuguese. Butwhen I install, an error appears: "this software is not compatible with your system".
    My Lion is in Brazilian Portuguese. Why it is not compatible? How do I install it? How can I solve this problem?
    Note: The technical assistance of Apple changed the HD, according to recall made ​​by Apple through the site. The HD is new.
    Thank you very much!

    Anybody? I'm buying a new network card simply but I'm not sure that it is the network card that is causing the network problems I'm experiencing.
    Regards

  • Problem with Boot Camp internet connection

    I use Boot Camp only for playing games, and everything is working perfectly except for my internet connection.
    That is, it works perfectly for some time then without any apparent reason it just loses connection.
    It usually works for about 2 hours, then simply disconnects, without offering any explanation.
    A restart solves this problem for another couple of hours, then it disconnects again.
    This is quite bothersome when trying to play an MMO for any extended period of time.
    I am connected to the internet via router that is directly plugged into the iMac and don't have any problems on OS X.
    I'm running Windows 7 on Boot Camp and everything is working perfectly except for this.
    Anyone have similar problems or any idea what this might be and how to solve it?
    Thanks.

    Ever figure this out?

  • Lost internet connection to Airport express

    My Netgear DSL modem/wireless router is able to connect to the internet and my Mac book pro airport is able to communicate with it. I have Airport express base unit connected to the router by ethernet cable and I was using faster N wifi to communicate with laptop. I use G wifi to communicate with Iphones. Few days ago I lost ability to connect to the internet with Airport express. Laptop is connected to it showing all bars and during troubleshooting all part of the setup screen show green dots except IPS and further down rest is red. I can connect through Netgear using its G wifi. Troubleshooting so far did not work. I reset pasword, created new network, reset airport extreme to factory setting but I am getting error that there is nothing connected to Ethernet port. I tried 3 diferent cables, each one of 3 netgear ports and there is no change. Is it a defective ethernet port on the airport express? Is there a test I can confirm that? Thanks for your input in advance.

    Suggest that you temporarily turn off wireless on your laptop and connect it to one of the ethernet ports on the Netgear router to see if you can get an internet connection that way. If you can, check the other ethernet ports on the Netgear to makes sure they are all operating.
    However, if you can't get an internet connection with the laptop connected directly to the Netgear, then the probable trouble spot points to the ethernet ports/switch on the Netgear.
    If everything checks OK in the first paragraph, then you know that the Netgear is functioning correctly and you can look elsewhere for the issue.
    Try a factory default reset on the AirPort Express again as follows:
    Power it down for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding the button in as you plug the AirPort Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after 10 seconds
    After reconfiguration of the AirPort Express, if you continue to receive the "no ethernet" message after a few tries, then it's likely that there has been an internal failure within the AirPort Express. This can sometimes occur on AirPort Express devices that are a couple of years old or older.
    If that's the case, I'm afraid the AirPort Express will need to be replaced.

  • Itunes 10.4 and Lion 10.7 create remote speakers not to keep connection using Airport Express

    MACBOOK with 10.5.8, then 10.6.8 and today 10.7...Lion
    There is a major problem regarding the connection to remote speekers with Itunes 10.4 and Airport Express using LION OS X.  This is a problem I never encountered before, nor with 10.5.8 or 10.6.8.
    Please correct that problem.

    Hi,
    At you question : Lynksys 160-wr ore something....
    This is something above my capabilities.
    The way that tab is configured is AUTOMATIC.
    Trying to do it manually require IP for rouer, and I dont't know how to get it, even if I perfectly know what an IP address is.
    It is also required to enter IPV6 address, and there to I am lost.
    Lastly there is the last tab, amaller bar that I don't know.
    May be explain in what way, having this manually entered is different that automatic would make me understand correctly.  Then, may be indicate how to get these info to fill in.
    But, I can say that I am now using APPLE TV-2, and that the first Lion 10.7 patch seems to have solved this.
    Regards

  • Why can't I get internet from my AirPort Express?

    I have an AirPort Express. I have three iPhones, two MacBooks, one iMac, one iPad, two Xbox 360's, a Wii and an HP printer connected to it. My dad has a toshiba laptop running windows vista and I can't get internet from it. I can connect to the AirPort Express just fine. I have exelent signal and all. But when I try to go online it says I dont have any internet. I ran the diogostics and it said theres no internet connection when clearly there is when I have all these devises connected to it without any problem at all. Can someone please help me out and tell me why and how I can fix it?

    Hi - I just upgraded from an Airport Extreme to Time Capsule.  The MacBook Pros and old iBook went on the new network fine, but my Toshiba did the same thing as yours.  After hours of trying to figure out the settings myself (including reading this forum), a couple of calls to Apple and lots of troubleshooting they referred to me Toshiba.  It took two calls to Toshiba (and a $49 troubleshooting fee), but it's now working.  The second tech took over my computer remotely, deleted the old Atheros network software and did an upgrade.  It's working great now!  Good luck.

  • Loss of internet connection thru airport express

    Hi
    Every time I download software updates I lose my internet connection.
    I then have great difficulty in re-connecting. I have tried using the lock on the network connections to keep the settings , but for some reason the lock is unlocked after a period of time even though I have not requested it. I suspect that there may be a conflict between the keychain access and the airport express but I cannot prove this for sure. Does anyone have any suggestions ?
    Fred

    Lost connections, slow connections and difficulty connecting can all be due to a noisey phone line. I have a dedicated modem line that was giving me all of these problems. I connected a phone to it and listened, the the noise was terrible. Turns out the phone line was rubbing against a tree and shorting out a half mile away. Now it's fixed, and works great.

  • Trying to share internet connection using Airport Express

    I have an internet connection via a Verizon Wireless broadband card in the Express Card slot in my MacBookPro. I share this connection to my iMac via Airport and I have an Airport Express card connected to a printer & stereo. However, when I establish the Airport internet connection (internet sharing in System prefrences) it establishes a wireless network in the MacBook (I think) as evedinced by the Airport signal (fan) logo changing to a vertical arrow. This precludes connecting to the Airport Express (the Airport Express network is not shown in the Airport pull down menu, only the MacBook network). My question is: can I somehow share the internet connection using the Airport Express network???

    ejagnut, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network created by your MacBook Pro. The directions can be found in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

  • Can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and Airport express for printer

    How / can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and use an airport express to set up wifi for printer and Apple TV?
    Macbook Pro. OS X 10.9.4

    I've never tried it, so I don't know what the results will be.
    However, you can move Ethernet to the top of the Services list in Network System Prefs which will cause it to be the Internet source. There is a command in the gear menu to set the Service order.  However, after thinking about it, if there isn't an internet connection via Wi-Fi, it might automatically drop down to the Ethernet connection.
    Then, you can set up your Wi-Fi so that it doesn't connect to the Internet, as Linc stated. How to do that would be dependent on the Router.
