Setup Airport Express 802.11 g

i has airport express 802.11 g... can you explain step by step how to setup this airport express to my macbook pro mid (2010)... I want to extend range of my network using airport express... my network already in wireless.. I just wanted to setup airport express 802.11 g for me to :
1) extend range of my network
2) using stereo
3) used printer wireless
thanks

Hi again,
sorry, it took me a while to reply.
I didn't proceed with my attempt to make this setup run, but now I finally want to give it another try.
This screen shot shows the D-Link's advanced wireless settings. They are pretty much the default settings.
Sorry, that's in German, but I guess you get the idea.
So maybe WPA/WPA2 is too new? Or TKIP/AES or PSK/EAP?
No idea...
Many thanks in advance!

Setup Problem New Airport Express 802.11ac

Current setup is:
Cable Modem to Linksys Router to Ethernet Switch to Airport Express 802.11n (in bridge mode).
Airport Express is plugged into the ethernet switch and set to a fixed LAN address.
Everything works fine and reliable.
Just bought a new Airport Express 802.11ac
Plugged it into another ethernet switch port and tried to set it up the same way (bridge mode), but used a different fixed LAN address and different wireless network name.
I get a warning message that it cannot get a DNS.
I go ahead anyway and it doesn't work. Router hangs and has to be rebooted.
When I set the new AEX to "extend existing network", it works ok. But I assume that in this mode I'm still limited by the speed of the old 802.11n device, which is between me and the router and modem.
What is the reason that I can't have two AExpress units both in bridge mode tied to the same router?

... But I assume that in this mode I'm still limited by the speed of the old 802.11n device, which is between me and the router and modem.
Correct. Also, you won't be able to use 802.11ac anyway unless you are using a new MacBook Air or other device capable of 802.11ac.
Make sure that the AirPort Utility setup screen did not say "Setting up this AirPort Express to wirelessly extend (your network name)".
The words you must see are "Setting up ... using Ethernet".
If necessary, set it up again beginning with a "hard reset" and verify that is the result. Leave it connected as you described when you do. Your proposed configuration should work.

Airport Express 802.11g Setup with iOS Airport Utility

I'm traveling with just an Airport Express 802.11g model and my iPad mini. I want to change the settings on the Airport Express but the Airport Utility for iOS says this base station isn't supported. Do I have any options available to me to change the settings on the road without a computer?

Yeah, that's what I gathered. Question is, do I have any alternate means of configuring it? For example, a web interface.

Unable to Connect Using New AirPort Express 802.11n

My mom purchased an AirPort Express 802.11n wireless router (AX) and I, as the designated "technology guru", was tasked with setting it up. Unfortunately, I am having problems out of the box.
When I connect it to the wall, it is found by AirPort Utility, but when I try to set it up, it is unable to connect to the wireless network. ("An error occurred joining the selected wireless network." "An error occurred, close the configuration window and try again.") This is annoying because I have an older AX and it was true to the "it just works" Apple mantra. It is also annoying because the error message has a comma splice.
Feeling pretty proud of my "technology guru" title, I come here to see what I could be doing wrong. I try connecting the computer directly to the router via ethernet cable. With this, I am able to setup my wireless network. I am still not able to connect to it. Additionally, once the AX has been configured, the AirPort Utility can't find it.
I tried updating firmware to 7.5.2. I've tried downgrading to 7.3.2. I've tried hard resets, soft resets. Every tip I could find I have tried. Please help. My self-confidence is wearing out.
Is it time for a call to Apple or a visit to the Apple Store?

Are you trying to configure the Express to "join" the wireless network?
If yes, the message you are receiving is likely an indication that you do not have the correct security settings selected for the Express. Unless the security settings between the wireless router and Express match up exactly, the Express will display the error that "an error occurred, etc".
The easiest way to confirm if you have this problem is temporarily set the main wireless router to "no security" and try to connect the Express that way. If you can connect, then you know that it is a security issue.
Please tell us the exact setting for security that the wireless router there is using and we'll try to give you some more ideas.
The Express will connect. It's just a matter of finding the right settings.

Speed issue with TC and Airport Express 802.11n in WDS mode...

Here is my problem.
I replaced my older base station / Express duo with
a new Time Capsule (1TB) and a new Airport Express (802.11n).
I set up the network with the TC as base station running a WDS network (WDS main) and the Express is the WDS remote.
When I check the wireless clients from the TC, I find my iMac running at 130Mbits and the Extreme at 54Mbits.
No other wireless clients are connected to the network (I kept my slower network as a parallel one for my "older" Macs).
The only other connected device is my Dish network DVR that is connected via an Ethernet cable directly to the Express.
So my question is why does the Express not communicate at >54 speed rate with the TC?
And, why does my iMac connect with 130 and not with 300Mbits?
Any thoughts?

Instead of using WDS, you should take advantage of the "Allow this network to be extended" option that is available for the 802.11n AirPorts including the TC. WDS only operates in the 802.11g radio mode.
Here's the basic setup:
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

I'm trying to extend the range of an Airport Extreme 802.11g by adding an Airport Express 802.11n. I set the Express up to join the existing network, but it does not make any difference in the range of the network. What's wrong?

Let me see if I can help you with the basic WDS configuration steps:
Note: To help facilitate the setup, temporarily connect the AXn directly to the AEBS LAN port using an Ethernet cable. Once the setup is complete, you can move the AXn to the desired location. For all configuration steps you will be using the AirPort Utility. Before starting, be sure to jot down the AppleIDs for both base stations.

These are just a few examples of all tests I have done, I have tried every possible configuration and took screen shots of almost 80% of the test (if someone is interested in reviewing this).
I couldnt find a single configuration in infrastructure mode that is as fast as the ad-hoc connection, so I assume either apple's setup for ad hoc and using channels is different to infrastructure or the airport express simply is unable to perform the same way as the wifi cards being used inside my Macs (which is my conclusion unless someone proves me wrong).
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep in mind, my findings show a 100% faster network in Ad hoc mode on a 2.4 Ghz connection
This is quite unsatisfying as I have bought the airport express on Feb 9th 2010 and it was the latest available model according to local genius bar.
So to quote apple: "The AirPort Express Base Station is based on an IEEE 802.11n draft specification and is compatible with IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, and IEEE 802.11g." yes it might be compatible but doesnt allow you to fully operate at those specifications or has anyone been able to achieve this somehow?

why didnt I find this any earlier ...

Speed issue with WDS, Airport Extreme, and Airport Express 802.11n

I have a Airport network set up using WDS and two airport base stations: an Airport Extreme 802.11n, and an Airport Express 802.11n. The Extreme is configured to be WDS main and is connected to my cable modem and other computers, while the express is WDS relay and acts as a switch.
I don't actually have any wireless clients connecting to the express. I'm using it to connect a mac with no airport card to the network by plugging it into the ethernet port on the express. For the most part, it works, and the mac gets a network address and can access the network. However, the connection speed from the Express to the Extreme seems slower than it should be.
Since both are 802.11n, and the Mac is plugged into the Express's 10/100 ethernet port, I figure the theoretical top speed that the Mac should be able to communicate with another device plugged into the Extreme is at around the same speeds as 100 mbps ethernet, since the 100 mbps ethernet connection should be the bottleneck in this case. In reality, the speeds are much slower: when I transfer files between a machine connected to the extreme (via ethernet) and my mac, the speed tops out at about 2 megabytes a second, if that.
I looked in the Airport Extreme's logs, and it indicates that the Express is only connected at 54 mbps, as though it were a 802.11g Express. I have no idea why this is! Also, the only wireless communication is between the Extreme and the Express, so one wireless device acting as a relay for another (and thus cutting the throughput in half) shouldn't be an issue.
Does anyone know why the speeds are so slow, and if there's anything I can do to improve them?

Hello Brian Kendall. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I looked in the Airport Extreme's logs, and it indicates that the Express is only connected at 54 mbps, as though it were a 802.11g Express. I have no idea why this is!
That is because you established a WDS which only runs in 802.11g. Since you have two 802.11n base station, you would want to take advantage of the "Extend a network" feature available with these base stations.
Here's a typical setup:
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

Can my older Airport Express 802.11g join an existing wireless network

I have a Airport Express 802.11g firmware version 6.3 . Using the most recent Airport Express Utility I can set it up as a base station on its own independent network but I cannot join it to my existing home wireless network. As I go through the wizard (or manual setup) It just does not detect/display any existing wireless networks. I have plenty of mobile devices in the house that can see the wireless network...and next doors network.
So, it begs the question ... is an 802.11g unit actually capable of joining another network or is this capability available on later models only. A search of apple support and the wider internet for "Airport Express 802.11g capabilities" yeilds a blizzard or useless info.
Thank you

Sorry, I cannot help on Windows since I do not have a Windows 7 machine here to test. I have used XP in the past and AirPort Utility appears to be virtually the same in Windows as a Mac. I assume that this is the case for AirPort Utility 5.6.1, and it should be able to configure the Express.
The older Express will join most wireless networks if the following conditions are met:
1) The Express is functioning correctly.
2) The wireless network name is 12 characters or less and it contains only normal letters and numbers. Avoiding blank spaces in the wireless network name will help improve the chances of the Express joining the network as well.
3) The wireless router is broadcasting a compatible signal that would allow the "g" Express to connect. If your network is broadcasting a wireless "n only" signal, the Express cannot connect to this network.
4) The wireless security on the network is set to a WPA compatible setting. That is because the older Express has difficulty joining 3rd party wireless networks using WPA2 Personal or WPA2-PSK-AES encryption. In other words, if your network is now using WPA2 Personal or WPA2-PSK-AES settings, the "g" Express will probably not be able to join the network.
5) If you are using MAC Address Filtering on your network, the MAC address of the Express will need to be included in your settings.
6) The wireless network password uses the same guidelines that appear in 2) above
The items noted above will provide the Express with the best chance of joining your network. Plan to use the Manual Setup option in AirPort Utility and be prepared to use the Option or Alt keys on the PC if needed.
If you are looking for a guarantee of success in advance for this task, I cannot provide that and you should wait for another user to post who might be able to meet your requirements in that regard.

HT1998 what is the latest update for Airport Express 802.11n with the Mac OSX10.6.8

If there are not any updates, you have already have the latest firmware.

Airport Express 802.11n does not support 5 ghz range

I have a Airport Extreme and a Airport Express both are 802.11n. I have the Airport Extreme setup to 802.11n (5ghz only). The Airport Express 802.11n will not work in the 5ghz range no matter what I do.
If I change the Extreme to 802.11n (2.4 ghz only), and set the Express to 802.11n 2.4ghz, it works fine.
Both systems have been upgraded to the 5.3.1 firmware.
Apple claims the Express works in the 5ghz range. The unit I have does not..so what is the deal?
Steve

I finally got this to work at 5ghz.
BUT,
The Airport Utility that supports the Express is less then great. There is no manual option to set the Express at 5ghz as a client. I assume that Apple will fix this soon.
I also had the problem described in several places in this Discussion group, that the Express becomes un-available after changing the config. I finally just restored it to the default, unplugged it and let it sit overnight. Then I reprogrammed it, saved it, verified it works, then let it sit all day with out unplugging it. I then unplugged it and moved it to the location I wanted it at so I could stream music, and it worked fine at 802.11n/5ghz.

AirPort Express 802.11g and WDS

The other evening I spent two hours unsuccessfully trying to add an AirPort Express 802.11g as a WDS remote station to an existing AirPort network hosted by an 802.11g AirPort Extreme. The computer was using Mac OS X 10.5.4 and AirPort Utility 5.3.2. I believe both AirPort units have the latest firmware.
I've been able to do this in the past elsewhere, but it seems like every time I try this, I'm successful despite my efforts instead of because of them.
The AirPort Express Setup Guide 5.1 (http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/AirPort_Express_SetupGuide5.1.pdf) doesn't offer much help: "Open AirPort Utility and follow the onscreen instructions to extend the range of your AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express network."
Apple's online support doesn't help much either. This knowledge base article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2044) discusses the AirPort Admin Utility, not the AirPort Utility. The feature to "auto configure as a WDS remote base station" that seemed to make this so easy with AirPort Admin Utility had is gone from AirPort Utility.
Can anyone offer any advice about how to make this work? I've stumbled across some advice like making sure that the channel numbers are the same on both stations, but it would be nice if some Apple document had the computer story in one place. It would be even nicer if AirPort Utility had the same "auto configure" feature that the AirPort Admin Utility had.
Thanks for any advice.

I realized days later that I already had the information I needed. The electronic book "Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Network" (from http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/airport-n.html ), which I already owned, notes that the following items much be set the same on both AirPort stations:
- radio mode
- channel
- base station password
- wireless security method
- wireless password
I think my problem is that one station was set to a specific channel while the other was set to the default choice of "automatic".

Airport Express 802.11g Not Cooperating

So for the longest time I had an Airport Express (802.11g) connected to my Time Capsule (802.11n first gen) with an xBox 360 hooked up to the Express via ethernet cable and it allowed my 360 to access the internet so I could use Netflix and whatnot. A couple of months ago the Express stopped working well and constantly had to be disconnected and reconnected to its power supply in order to function properly. Now it has completely ceased to work, so I restored it to factory defaults and nothing is working. First I tried to just have it join my wireless network, but once it connected the ethernet port stopped working. I didn't remember this happening before, so I went online and found out that joining a wireless network disables the port for some reason and that the only solution was to set up a WDS. So I tried this with my Time Capsule as the main and my Express as a remote (note: I am using Airport Utility 5.6 so that I can actually detect my Express) and on the Airport Utility Window it says that everything is fine and that both devices are reporting "Normal" as their status (green light). That is true for the Time Capsule, but the Airport Express keeps flashing its amber light of doom. When I clicked on the status for the Express, it said that the Express wasn't reporting any issues, so I have no clue what to do. Both devices are on the same channel, and the Time Capsule Radio Mode says that it is compatible with 802.11b/g devices. Also, the Airport Express, even though I selected "Allow Wireless Clients" cannot be accessed unless I connect it to my computer with an ethernet cable. Does anybody know how I can fix this? Any help at all is appreciated. Thanks!

UPDATE: I reset the unit, and was able to configure it using AirPort Setup Assistant, but although the light is still solid green, iTunes and AirPort Admin still can't see it.

BDP-N460 Blue Ray - Wanting to implement Airport Express (802.11n) as Wi-Fi

Hi All,
My intention is to use my Airport Express (802.11n) as a Wi-Fi bridge for the BDP-N460 (Streaming Video). I am clearly missing a step. I have read many posts and followed what seemed like specific directions, to no avail. If anyone can help by shedding some light on this process, I would greatly appreciate it.
All the Best,
NgM

I may have to wait to do the tests in the same room as the Linksys. What would the tests include? Setting up the Express directly to the (cable) modem?
This was a suggestion to test signal strength. If you want to try to configure it now, here is how you would do so:
It is critically important that you know the exact type of security that the Linksys router is using. Otherwise, you will not be able to match up the settings and the Express will not connect to the Linksys wireless. It would be great if the Linksys was using no security, but I doubt that this is the case.
Hold in the reset button on the AirPort Express until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly. Hold another second or two when you see this, then release the reset button.
Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express.
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab (under the row of icons) to assign a name to your Express, a device password (write this down) and adjust Time Zone settings
Click the Wireless tab (under the row of icons)
Wireless Mode = Join a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = If the Express "sees" a strong enough signal from the Linksys, you will see the name of the Linksys wireless network. Click to select. If you do not see the name of the Linksys wireless network displayed as a choice, I'm afraid that the wireless signal is too weak and this will not work.
Place a check mark next to Allow ethernet clients. This activates the ethernet port
Wireless Security = Exact setting as the Linksys. This is always the most difficult part of trying to get an Express to join a wireless network. It won't pick the right setting by itself. You have to tell is exactly what to do.
Wireless Password = Password for the Linksys network if security is being used
Confirm Password
Click the Update button at the lower right of the window. Don't panic when the AirPort Express "disappears" from AirPort Utility, this is normal. As soon as you see the message that the settings have been stored to the Express, close AirPort Utility and disconnect the ethernet cable. The Express will restart and if your settings are correct, you will have a green light in 20-25 seconds.
If you don't get a green light, something is wrong with the configuration settings, probably the security setting. You'll have to start all over again with the reset of the Express and try again.
Now, test the connection by first plugging your computer in to the Express, (turn off wireless on the computer) and see if you can get an internet connection. If you can, it should be simply a matter of plug and play with the Sony, following the instructions in the manual. Almost all Audio/Video devices will connect to the internet automatically when they have an ethernet connection. No special configuration is normally required.
The success of your connection will depend on the quality of the wireless signal that is available to the AirPort Express.
Good luck, post back on your results.

WRT160NL and AirPort Express 802.11n Connection

I have a Linksys WRT160NL that is currently connected to 2 Apple AirPort Express 802.11n via WiFi.
The connections are Cable Model via ethernet to WRT160NL
WRT160NL ethernet to PCs running XP and Vista
WRT160NL WiFi to laptops at 802.11g
WRT160NL ethernet to DirecTV HD Box
WRT160NL WiFi to Airport Express to ethernet connection of DirecTV HD Boxes (2 connections) (802.11g)
This current setup works. The hard wired components work as expected and the wifi to the AirPort Expresses work as well. The only issue I have is that the AirPort Expresses are only connecting to the the WRT160NL via WiFi at 802.11g speeds. I want to be able to conenct the AirPort Expresses at 802.11n speeds as I am having some streamin issues for High Def video. I verfied in the DHCP Client Table of the router that the AirPort Exresses are connected via "Wireless-G" to the routers. The AirPort Expresses are running the lastest firmware from Apple and I am running Firmware Version: 1.00.01 B17 on the router.
Any help/ideas on how I can connect the Apple Airport Express to the WRT160NL at 802.11n speeds? Are these 2 devices just not compatible with each other?

Thanks for the reply Scrooge. I have verified that the Apple Airport Express is 802.11n complaint:

The airport expresses are still connected at 802.11g according to the DHCP Client Table from the router. Is there any way to force the Airport Expresses to connect at 802.11n?
TIA

Setup Airport Express 802.11 g
