Streaming 3d movies to my Samsung 3DTV using AirPort express and a wireless LAN adapter has not worked. What is my cheapest option for making this happen?

I need a transfer rate minimum of 9mbps. My AirPort express and 3DTV are on different floors, so I cannot directly connect with an ethernet cable. Can I buy an older AirPort express, use it as a bridge, and connect my TV to it via an ethernet cable?

Hi rockchalker,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For 802.11n Wi-Fi base stations, creating a roaming network is by far the best choice. This will provide the best throughput between the base stations and your Wi-Fi devices.
If you are unable to build the recommended Roaming network, then a Wirelessly Extended Network is the next best option.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".

I have a MacPro 2008 workstation without Airport or Airport Extreme CArd isntalled. Can I use Airport Express to connect (wireless) to my wireless network? If so, can I then connect my Airport Extreme to my MAcPro by a ethernetcable ?

I have a MacPro 2008 workstation. It has no Airport/Airport card so I have to use an ethernetcable to connect to my modem. As the MAcpro
is in my office in the attic and the wireless modem is in the basement I have a problem. I wonder if it is possible to use Airport Express to connect to the wireless network? Itshould be like this: in my office I connect the MacPro with AE through an ethernet cable. If I can then get AE to connect (wireless...) to my wireless network I should be ablle to connect my MacPro to internet/wireless network. Is this possible???? Any suggestions are very much appriciated. Thank you.

Apple calls this configuration a ProxySTA.
To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility.

Problem using Airport Express to extend wireless network.

I'm trying to extend my wireless network with an Airport Express (brand new, bought last week), but can only seem to do so by connecting it via cat5 to the router, which doesn't actually extend anything. I have a Linksys WRT54GS with DD-WRT, and want to have the Airport Express in a different room so cat5 isn't an option.
I'm using WPA2 Personal security on my network.
I've tried to follow several sets of instructions from these forums and on blogs, but the only things I've been able to do are...
1) connect via cat5, selecting "Create a new network" with the same SSID and such, but it doesn't give me any more range.
2) connect wirelessly selecting "Join an existing network", but that doesn't extend the network at all either, even if I put the AE at the edge of the network now.
Thanks in advance. All I really want to do is access my wireless from the other half of my house.
Zack

It was possible to create a WDS between the older 802.11g AirPort Express and the Linksys WRT-54GS and this (as you know) has been documented on the Internet. However, I do not know of anyone that has been successful doing so with either of the 802.11n generations.
The two methods that you have tried would not work as neither is the proper method to set up a WDS. Please check out the following Apple Support article for more details. If you are successful in setting a WDS between them, please post back your results.

I used Airport Base station and I was able to extend my network using airport express and connect my printers. Now I am using Extreme and I can't extend the network (Express) or the printers nothing shows up. I am using utility 6.3 and Mt Lion What is

I had an Aiport Base Station and extended using Airport Express, where I also connected my printers (network). Now using Airport Extreme off Mt Lion 10.8.4 and Utility 6.3.
I can't extend the network (express) or connect my printers (USB) nor will it find my one wifi printer.
What's up?

For now, leave the AirPort Express powered off.
Power off the entire network....all devices.....in any order that you want
Wait a few minutes
Power up the modem first, and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme next, and let it run a full minute
Keep powering up devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered up (leave the Express off for now)
Open AirPort Utility and check to see if the AirPort Extreme is visible.
If it's not, click the AirPort Utility menu at the upper left of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility. Post back with the version number of AirPort Utility that you see there....which should be AirPort Utility 5.6.1.
Post back on your progress.

Backup of MacBook using Airport Express and File Sharing

I have an iMac backed up (500GB internal drive) using Time Machine to a Western Digital external drive (1TB) via Firewire; I also have second external drive (500GB) for FCE and Photoshop use. I'm about to buy a MacBook (160GB drive) for my wife, and an Airport Express (connected via cable modem) to give her wireless access to the internet and wireless access to our printer. My first thought was to get the Airport Extreme and try wireless backups for both the iMac and MacBook using Time Machine and connecting the backup drive as an Airdisk. However, I've also been reading about the slow performance and iffy future Apple support for this arrangement.
Well, that's the windup -- here's the question. Is it feasible for me to just use filesharing in my iMac to have the MacBook work files (and folders) saved directly in the iMac public folder? The rationale is that I would change nothing in my current IMac/backup drive configuration. The iMac acts as a wireless network fileserver for the MacBook. The MacBook work files would then automatically get backed up as part of the iMac backups. There would be minimal network use for file use and storage between the two computers because only work files from the MacBook will get saved on the iMac.
Do I have this right, or am I missing something?

Well, that's the windup -- here's the question. Is it feasible for me to just use filesharing in my iMac to have the MacBook work files (and folders) saved directly in the iMac public folder?
Sure. This is not supported by Time Machine but you could open/save the files directly from the Finder or application in use.
OR you could use Time Machine to make a backup of the MacBook to the 1 TB external drive connected to the iMac. That is the scenario I use with my iBook and iMac.

Using Airport Express and music sounds distorted.....

I just hooked up my airport express to my whole house stereo and the music sounds distorted. I've adjusted the volume on the amplifier, the room volume control and the computer volume control.....and it still sounds distorted. Any ideas on what I can do?

Temporarily, plug a pair of headphones into the AirPort Express and check the sound quality. It is OK, you know that everything is working through the AirPort Express.
Often the audio plug will make poor contact with the audio jack on the Express which can cause a hum or intermiitent audio signal. Wiggle the plug around to see if this might be the case. You may need to try another audio cable.
Make sure that you are not plugging into a PHONO input on the amplifier. You would want to use AUX or CD or even TAPE would work if you have an older amplifier/receiver.

Help - Receive message "an error occurred printing this document" when using airport express and Ipad

Hi, I am trying to set up an airport express hub to work with a Star tsp100 receipt printer and IPad 2. The IPad is being used to accept credit card payments and I was hoping to print receipts out wirelessly using the airport express and receipt printer. I checked to make sure the airport express has the latest firmware and it does. The IPad software is also updated to the latest 7.1. I then connected the Airport express and IPad and the network setup with no problems. I connected the receipt printer to the airport express using the USB slot available. While the printer comes up as available, when I attempt to print something, I get the error message "An error occurred printing this document" and I can cancel or Try again. No matter how many times I try, I continue to get this message and I lost as to the cause. When I disconnect and reconnect, another instance of the printer appears, but receive the same cryptic error message when I try to print. Totally lost, please help

Hi kelston3,
In order to print from an iPad you will need to use a printer that is compatible with AirPrint, which is described in the following article -
About AirPrint
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
AirPrint printers must be wireless on your network - not connected via USB to the base station. There is a list of printers that are known to be compatible with AirPrint in the article.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Using Airport Express and Extreme Together

I have the old Airport Express and have just bought the latest Extreme. I'm sure Extreme will work fine with my iMac but am not so sure it will work with my G4 Powerbook as it does not have the recommended software requirements. Is there anyway I can setup a network using both the old Express and the new Extreme?

Welcome to the discussions!
Your old AirPort Express is a "g" wireless device while your new AirPort Extreme is a newer and much faster "n" wireless device.
If you are asking if you can use your old AirPort Express to "extend" the wireless from the AirPort Extreme using wireless only, the answer is yes....BUT....your new AirPort Extreme will drop down to old "g" wireless levels if you do this.
The setup procedure for this is quite difficult and frustrating for many users. To get an idea of what is involved if you want to try this, see this link for the procedure:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2355832&tstart=0
IF...you are able to connect the AirPort Express to your AirPort Extreme using an ethernet connection, the setup will be much easier to accomplish and your AirPort Extreme will maintain faster "n" speeds on the wireless. Post back for more details if that is a possibility.

How to look at movies with IPAD3 using Airport express and external disk drive (USB connexion to Airport Express)

I would like to stotre several movies on an external disk drive connected to Airport express through USB port. With my IPAD, I am able to use the WiFi network (generated by Airport) buy I don't see the disk.... how to make it happen ? Thanks. JP A

Shoudl I use ICloud instead or another way ?
I have not tried iCloud for this...and understand that it is mainly for your backups. These link might help:

Or, you could post in the iPad support area since that is really what your question is about.

Itunes remote speaker using Airport Express and Extreme

I have purchased an Airport Extreme and Airport Express, so I can listen Itunes music on my stereo system. For some reason, there is simply no remote speaker selection button on the bottom right of the Itunes windows. Does it has to do with the fact that I am using an old Mac OS X?
My Macmini has no airport card, so I connected the ethernet to the Airport extreme, and plugged the Airport express few feet from the base. Nothing but an orange tilting light comes out of the little box. I can surf the net perfectly but the Itunes is ignoring all my investment on the couple of Airport boxes i purchase...What I am doing wrong?

Yes, I thought that purchasing the Airport extreme as
the ethernet interfase directly connected to the
MacMini, was almost the same as having the airport
card inside the Mini. Where did I get lost?? I have
the extreme directly to the mini, and an express
plugged somewhere close and nothing happens...
The problem is that the mini can only stream iTunes to an Airport Express via Airport. While you have connected it to an Airport basestation, as far as the mini is concerned, it is working via ethernet because that's how the data is leaving the system. It doesn't have an Airport card, thus it can't stream iTunes content to an Airport Express.

Use airport express as a wireless bridge?

Hi,
I am wondering if an airport express can be used as a wireless bridge to connect my xbox on my lan?
Lan description:
dsl modem --> wifi linksys router --> office pc
wifi -- airport express as a client --> audio system
Right now, I use it solely for itune streaming, but I would like to connect my xbox to the ethernet port of the airport express give internet access, possible?

Thank you for replying, I was finding all sorts of confusing information, some said it would work, others said it wouldn't, and I was hoping someone with a little experience would know firsthand
I'm hoping I can take it to work where we have an iMac with Snow Leopard and pre-configure it there to do what I want at home, but if not I'll find a way to make it work, the link might come in handy for me.
I'll report back anything I encounter with a link to my blog, hopefully that will help others out as well.

I would like to set up a media server on time capsule using airport express and an ipad as a remote for dance studio

I am wanting to set up a network for my business and was hoping if someone could tell me how to do this and if it will indeed work. Or if you have any better ideas.
I want to transfer all music to Airport Time Capsule. I want to plug in the aiport express to my sound system. I want to access music through the ipad off the timecapsule to play it without downlaoding it on the ipad.
We currently use Icloud, but there is too much music and too many devices accessing for it to work effectively. I am running a dance studio so we need more music than what could ever be stored on an ipad/ipod.
As an extention to this, can we use multiple Airport expresses plugged into mutiple sound systems to simultaneously access different music from the same time capsule?
Any ideas would be so great!

The answer is not if you use iTunes.
The TC is NOT an iTunes server.. it is not a media device at all. It is a backup location for Time Machine.
You need a computer in the network which stores the iTunes library and you can then play it via the ipad.
A mini with a large USB drive plugged in will work fine.. it doesn't need to be new.. a couple of years old mini will work just as well.
As an extention to this, can we use multiple Airport expresses plugged into mutiple sound systems to simultaneously access different music from the same time capsule?
I am not sure.. there will be network limitations to this.
Look up how to use itunes in a network.

You would do better perhaps posting the question in iTunes section.. if as I guess you are actually using iTunes.
