Setting up Express with new router

I have a Linksys wireless router which is replacing a older one of different brand. I want to use my Airport Express to extend signal strenth in the family room and feed the speakers as I've done before.
Is there something I have to do to get this new Router recognized by the Express?

Not all Linksys wireless routers can be extended with an Airport Express.

My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. Help.

My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. I don't want to lose anything. I have tried turning everything off and back on again. Desktop and laptop are working fine. Sometimes it turns on suddenly and I can use it for like 20 mins but then shuts off again. Same thing is happening with my dad's iphone, Help.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one

Last Friday apparently one of my raid drives started failing.
As I mentioned on this forum I started getting continous beeping.
I was finally able to get the raid working at a degraded level. I ordered a replacement hard drive which is arriving today.
(In the meantime I made twice daily backups of my work.....)
Below was the message I got from the browser based raid software:
Blahblah 09    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
Blahblah 10    1000.2GB     Free                 SamSung HD103SJ
Blahblah 11    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
Blahblah 12    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
(See this earlier thread if you wish!)
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/727867?tstart=0
At one point when I did the checked the browser interface I saw the message Failed and Degraded
As I said, I was able to work over the weekend on the degraded system.
This morning I got the beeping again and did the rescue and now I am running a "full raid" without the notice that one raid was "Free".
In any case, the new hard drive is arriving today.
What steps should I take to incorporate the new drive into the raid system.
I have one OS drive
and 4 tb raid drives.   One needs to be replaced with the new one that I am getting today.
Thanks
Rowby

Harm,
Regarding your comment:
Re: How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one
Please tell me how to read the serial number from an individual drive rather easily, without un-installing them:
If you select the proper drive to change out, you only need to remove one drive and look at its serial number...
Step 1: Identify bad drive serial number using Areca's tools
Step 2: Turn off the computer
Step 3: Remove what you think is the bad drive based on following your numbered cable method, marked hot-swap bays, whatever
Step 4: Verify that the serial number matches the "bad drive" serial number from step 1; if it does great, proceed; if it does not match, go back to step 3
Step 5: Change out the CORRECT drive - that's the bottom line for this whole procedure
Cheers,
Jim

Set up existing expresses with new extreme base station

We just replaced our old extreme base station with the new fast one. It works good so far except that now my two existing airport expresses- one I use for airtunes and the other to relay the wireless signal to a far corner of the house- don't work. What do I need to do to set them up with the new station? I tried a reset but it didn't help.

Either connect them with ethernet to configure the Expresses or find them wirelessly(you can use Airport Utility or the older Airport Admin Utility). The bottom line is to get the Express selected in Airport ie the icon on the top file menu then use the Utility. If your nearwork is not visible to select then use the preferred drop down menu found in Network pane of system preferences. You may need to type in the network name or use the + button.

Can't browse network with new router - HELP!

My old WRT54G died a few days ago. I replaced it with a WRT54GL which was the closest match. Since installing the new router I can no longer browse my network. I configured the new router with LELA as per the instructions suggested. Could that have changed something? All the machines can get on the internet and I can ping all the machines through the command line but when I try to look at the workgroup in the my network places window I get an error message that says:
"Workgroup not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found."
When I run the net view command in the command line that also results in an error.
When I hook machines together with a crossover cable everything works fine so I have to assume it's some setting in the new router that is preventing the browse list from working. Here's what I've tried:
Turned off firewalls both on the local machines and on the router - made no difference
Made sure all machines are in the same workgroup - they are
Made sure browser service and the peer networking services are running - they are
Made sure all machines are on the same subnet - they are because they can ping each other
Now here's something really strange. When I rename the workgroup on all machines they can see each other. Once I switch back to the name "workgroup" they can't see each other any longer and I get the error message.
I run a small business and need to share files quite often. I would love to be able to get a NAS server but I can't find any that will work with ALL of my machines. Most of my machines are running Vista at this point but a few are still XP Pro. One of my machines is XP Pro and cannot run SP2 which prevents a lot of newer software and devices from running on it. This is why I really need to get my file sharing ability back.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Mike
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I solved the issue and wanted to post it in case someone else has the same issue. One of the machines uses a Linksys WGA600N Dual Band Gaming adapter as it's wireless adapter. Technically speaking this actually a bridge. I needed to restart it. That solved my issue.

File and printer sharing with new router WRT100

I have a desktop PC running XP media center home edition hardwired to the router and a wireless laptop running Vista basic. About a year ago I was able to set up a wireless home network. I was thrilled to find out I could share files and a printer between the 2 PC's. Everything was working well until last week when my router died. I replaced the router with WRT100 and both PC's are back online but I lost file sharing. I am NOT technical and know little about PC's. I just stumble along. I spent hours trying to figure out the problem. I changed no seetings on my computers except what was needed to install the new router. What I do know is that the network wizard is telling me the network is set up but when I go into a folder I want to share there is no tab that says "share file on the network". (when this tab was there I checked it and the under the folder an icon would appear to show the folder was shared on the network between the 2 computers).
I can share the files within the PC with other users but not on the network with my other computer. I checked all the settings and cannot find a problem. I tried to ping the computer but got an error. Stuff was sent but not received, whatever that means???
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks....

If you are running any firewall, try disabling that. Make sure all computer's are set to same workgroup. Also turn on built on firewall on vista, and xp. Turn defender off on vista. Then try to ping and check for replys.

How to connect wireless printer with new router

Photosmart 2710 cannot reconnect wireless with new router (windows xp)

Have windows xp laptop and hp 2710 printer will not connect wirelesslysince I changed routers to netgear wnr2000. Was previously connected with lynksys wrt54g. During installation the wizard recognizes the printer and its ip address but when told to install the wizard goes back to the "find printer" screen. My wife's is connected with vista. I can connect with usb.

Your new router will have to make 802.11g available for the printer (along with 802.11n is OK) and the printer will only support WPA, not WPA2 encryption. If all that is OK, then:
On the front of the printer: setup > network > reset network defaults.
Now, run the wireless setup wizard from that same menu.

Hp Photosmart not working with new router

My Hp Photosmart D110a will not work wirelessly with my new Netgear N600 router. This is the second new router I have tried. With the first one Belkin I could at least get it to print from my PCs. But never with my IPad. Now the printer will not print from anything. I have reset it, entered new passwords etc. spent hours on the phone with tech support. What to do now?

@Ann99, welcome to the forums
I understand your Photosmart D110a model is not working with your new router. I will gladly do my best to help you.
I have some questions and some things for you to try.
1. Is the printer connecting to the wireless network successfully when you run the wireless setup wizard from the printers front panel or is the printer not found when you are running the installation from your PC?
2. What did tech support determine the issue was when you called them?
3. Here are some guides for you to try, these 2 guides relate to the questions I had asked in the first question:
Unable to Connect to a Wireless Network When Using WEP Encryption and Shared Key Authentication
The Printer Is Not Found During a Wireless Network Installation
4. What Operating System are you running on your computer?
5. Where are you running the installation from (disk, download or HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows for Windows)?
Please let me know all of the information and results from your troubleshooting above!
Have a terrific day

Photostream not working on pc with new router installed

I have lots of apple products, and photo stream works between all of them, but struggling with them loading to my pc through photo stream.
It was working, on and off for a while. Some pictures would load, some not.
We installed a new router, thought it would fix it, now there is nothing!
Any thoughts?
I have windows vista.
some type of linksys router, I can find out if that's relevant.

Not sure if this will help, but you might check your router settings again this:

Setting up Airport express with new Vista Computer?

I just bought a new computer with microsoft Vista. I have a netgear wireless router using WPA protection. I want to hook up an airport express as a client in another room where my stereo is. I had this working on my old XP computer but don't remember how I set it up because none of the discussions in the manual look anything like what I had. Does anyone know how to set this up?

Got it!!!! thanks to David NYC and tesserax. For other peoples benefit, change steps 1-5 on the above document procedure for Airport Admin Utility to the following:
1. Perform factory reset (situational)
2. Attach Airport Express via Ethernet to router.
3. Invoke your router software and view connected devices.
4. Identify Airport Express device id. It will be something like (192.168.1.3). You can tell which id is the airport express by looking for its MACD id on the list and comparing to the id printed on the Airport Express unit.
5. Open Airport Admin Utility.
6. Click Other.....
7. Enter the device id from #4 and password (this will be "public" if you reset to factory in step 1.)
8. Change settings to wireless (steps 6-13 of existing procedure)
Thanks to all who helped.

Can't set up airport express with new Airport Extreme

I have a new aiport extreme base station and two airport expresses. All was well till I tried to plug in a hard drive then the base station needed to be reset. Now I can't get it to recognize the aiport expresses. I have to do a factory reset on the express to even get it to recognize it in the Airport Utility. I follow the instructions to have it join my existing network, I get to the point where it says I have successfully joined the network and the express will restart, but I never get a green light on the express and then I can't locate it while using the airport utility.
is there something in the configuration of the airport extreme that is blocking this?

Are you trying to use the expresses in WDS or client
mode? If you are trying to use WDS, do you have WDS
enabled on the main extreme base station?
I hae been using client mode as best as I can tell. I have been going through the setup with the express and chosing to join an exisiting network and not extend the range of the current network.

Airport express with BT router to help an idiot

I have an Imac which wirelessley connects to my BT Voyager 2091 router using a WEP key, putting aside the fact that i have to input the key everytime the mac is turned on i need help with my new aiport express.
All i would like to do is plug the AX in behind the stereo and connect it via cable to play airtunes into the lounge - thats it - easy - NOT
i have plugged the ax in, the mac can see it, but i try adding it to the existing network and even put in the password for the router and then it just flashes amber.....
please can someone explain in simple idiot proof language what i should do be doing?
Thanks
Rich

hello there
i have had my apple g4 book getting internet access
through the airport express and a bt voyager 210
router and hit has been fine for about a year. now,
for a few weeks, when i turn it on and click on
safari, i get error messages about the airport being
okay but it cannot connect to the internet. to get
round this i set up a new network, and hey presto! it
works again. this takes me about 10 minutes each
time it happens. is it because there is something
wrong with the bt router? Also, is it best to unplug
the airport express and router whem not in use, to
save electricity? I am in the uk if that helps.
thank you
anne
just another thing id forgotten.. I unplug the router and airport express out and leave a couple of minutes. then i plug it back in and after a couple of minutes im connected again. i think it must be the bt router that's getting worn out. do these things wear out?
