Please clarify exactly what you are trying to accomplish here, so we can provide the correct answer.
Do you have another Apple "n" router that is providing your wireless network at the present time?
What version of AirPort Utility will you be using to configure the AirPort Express?

  • Airport Express questions on wireless print serving

    I have a wireless network setup using a linksys router and thinking about using an Airport Express as a wireless print server in another room. I currently have a Canon MP500, 2 wired PCs connected to the router and 2 wireless laptops one Windows and an iBook. Would the Airport Express connect to my existing wireless network to act as a wireless print server for my network?
    Thank you

    Hi, does anyone know how to change the port setting on Windows XP Pro. I recently purchased an Airport extreme and the network is working great, however when I tried to set up the printer the documentation left some key peices of information out.
    I had followed the step for installing a printer, but when I got to the point about specifing the adapter type, the documentation in the manual that came with the Airport skipped over that part. I guessed at the adapter and unfortunatly (and obviously after reading the instructions here http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1008.html) I chose the wrong adapter. Now I want to go back and fix it but I can't figure out how. When I tried to run the add printer wizard again and the port setting wizard it said the port (IP_10.0.1.1) was alread in use and kicked me out of the wizard.
    How do I change the settings on the port to the correct settings?
    Thanks

  • HT204371 How to setup Airport Express to extend my network range?

    I have an Airport Extreme as main router and want to install an Airport Express to extend the range of my wifi. However it only works when connected through an ethernet cable. How can I setup my Airport Express to work wirelessly and extend the wifi range?

    I have a Time Capsule in the basement and my daughter is 3 stories up on her iMac and she complains about speed while online. She is about 40 feet up from me with 3 ceilings in between.
    It is a nothing short of a miracle that she can get any signal at all under those conditions.
    Found an AirPort Express Base Station (the one that looks like a power bar for Apple laptops) - model # is A1084.
    Unfortunately, this older version of the Express does not have the capability to "extend a wireless network" using wireless only.
    You need the A1264 version, or the "new" AirPort Express (that looks like a miniature Time Capsule) if you want to try to "extend" using wireless only. In this case, you would want to locate the extending device approximately half the distance between the Time Capsule and her computer.
    I can't say that this will do a lot to improve things....it's going to be one of those situations where you won't know if it will work until you try.
    (or am I better off trying to run a super long Ethernet cable to her somehow?)
    This is by far the best choice in terms of performance. There is no signal loss in a wire. She will be amazed at how well and fast her Mac runs this way.

  • How do I setup airport express to extend my airport extreme

    How do I setup airport express to extend the airport extreme

    Unfortunately, you are getting incorrect advice here. Might be a good idea to start a new post, since the original thread is long out of date.
    First, please confirm that you have a compatible Express with the AirPort Extreme. This would be either the current A1392 version.....or the previous A1264 version.
    Next, we need to confirm "how' you want to extend, since you do not mention this in your post.
    Are you planning to "extend" by connecting the AirPort Express to the AirPort Extreme using a permanent, wired Ethernet connection (highly recommended).....or.....are you trying to "extend" by having the Express try to connect wirelessly to the AirPort Extreme?

  • 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!

  • I cannot get my Airport Express to accept wireless clients.

    I cannot get my Airport Express to accept wireless clients. After resetting to factory default and reconfiguring, it works briefly but then stops again.
    The Airport Express is on the second floor of my house and is seen by Airport Utility. Using a LAN cable with the Express works no problem.
    My network is created by an Airport Extreme (ground floor) and extended by a Time Capsule (first floor)
    Have run through all settings repeatedly and as I said I can get it to work briefly by resetting and then reconfiguring, but after a short while again my iOS devices can no longer connect and revert to cellular.

    The issue is most likely due to the fact that the AirPort Express may be too far from the AirPort Extreme to properly extend it with enough bandwidth to be useful.
    It is important to understand that with Apple 802.11n or 802.11ac base station an extended network works in a wheel-like fashion with the base station to be extended at the hub and each extending base station along one of the spokes. This type of configuration does not allow for daisy chaining the base stations. That is, in your case, both the Time Capsule and AirPort Express are attempting to extend the AirPort Extreme.
    Each extending base station must be within a certain signal quality range in order to extend the network properly. Please check out the following AirPort User tip for details.

  • Trying to connect my wired PC to the wireless airport express via the wireless router.

    Trying to connect my wired PC to the wireless airport express via the wireless router.  TP-link wired/wireless router.  Ultimate goal is to send music from iTunes on PC to wireless router, then to airport, then to reciever.  The amber light is blinking.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    If I'm understanding right your need and your computer has wired access to your network/router, all you have to do is give your AX wireless or wired access to your network too.
    Wired should be easier.  Just use a network cable to connect to the router.  Power up the AX and look for it on AirPort Utility, do so without changing any of your computer settings.  If it's visible, then on iTunes your AX should be visible on the AirPlay icon at the bottom-right corner.
    If you want to connect your AX to your router wirelessly I would suggest to reset your AX settings by pressing and holding for a few secs the reset button next to all the ports.  Once it is reset, using your computer try to look for the wireless network it'll be creating, it should be something like Apple Network 4341eb.  Join that network and, using the AirPort Utility, configure your AX as a network client.  Go to Wireless > Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network.
    Select your router wireless network from the drop-down menu, select the appropriate security and type in your password.  Click update.
    It'll restart and automatically join your network.  Have your computer join back your router network and, again, in iTunes bottom right you should be able to see the AX speakers.
    Let me know if this worked.

  • Can u run Airport Express and a wireless modem together?

    Can u run Airport Express and a wireless modem together at the same time?
    I'm using AE purely for music distribution and have just bought a wireless modem for the internet (not a AE). However I can now only select either the AE network, OR the wireless internet network (it's BT HomeHub). Hence I can either play music or use the internet, but not together!
    Any ideas anyone..??
    Thanx
    David

    You should configure your AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network provided by the modem. The instructions are in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

  • In my iPhone  wifi screen the setup airport express is  not visible  how I turn it visible in my wifi page

    I'm not see in my iPhone 4s in the wifi the setup airport express the only see the wifi connections and ask to join network  I don't see the setup screen how I charge this in the wifi options

    To administer the AirPort Express, you need to install the iOS version of the AirPort Utility. You can get it via the App Store app on your iPhone.

    Is your AirPort Express an older 802.11g model? If so, you will need to install v5.6 if you are running OS X Lion or 5.6.1 if running OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, the iOS version of the AirPort Utility cannot administer these older base stations.

  • Can't See Airport Express on my Wireless N/work

    I have a D-Link DSL G604t router, and have spent hours trying to get it to "see" AE - no joy. I have added the MAC Address to the enabled access list but still nothing - everytime I scan for it, it cannot be found. My Compaq l/top connects no problem to the network, and I cannot find any answers in the manual. Only trying to send itunes to my hifi - don't need to share connections or printers.

    Hi:
    I had a similar problem with a DLink DI-624 wireless router and AirPort Express afew months ago. Here is what you can do.
    As an intermediate step, which is undocumented but I found necessary, connect your Airport Express to the wireless router via an Ethernet cable. After the wired connection, your router will definitely see AirPort Express. Then you can go through the normal network registration process. Once this is complete, you can then power off Airport Express and disconnect it from the router and then place it where you originally intended. Once the solid green light comes on (30-60 seconds), you should be able to access AirPort Express the way it was intended, in a wireless manner.
    Again, this worked for me after hours of unsuccessful struggling with the installation process as described in the Apple documentation. I hope this helps.

    The ZyXEL P-2601HN-F1, as you know, is a combination DSL modem & 802.11n wireless router (or gateway device).
    For your goal you will want to take a look at this Apple Support article for details on how to configure an AX for iTunes.
    If you are still having difficulties with the AX joining the ZyXEL's wireless network, you can try the following:
    Temporarily disable wireless encryption.
    If you are hidding the SSID, disable that feature.
    Change the Mode Select setting to: 802.11g Only
    Change the Channel Selection from "Auto" to a set channel, like 1, 6, or 11

  • Airport Express as a Wireless Bridge and AirTunes?

    I have a linksys router and just got a Tivo I was thinking of getting the Tivo wireless adapter but after much though i had a brainstorm
    What if i were go get an express and hook it up as a wireless bridge (connect the Tivo to the ethernet port) and while i am at it connect my computer to my stereo system via AirTunes.
    Is it possible to use the Airport Express as a wireless bridge and use airtunes at the same time while using my linksys router?

    To do this, you must use WDS. Very, very, very few 3rd party devices are compatible with Apple's WDS.
    The Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not latest versions v5) however are compatible with Apple's WDS. If you have one of those, it is possible.
