HOW TO SET UP 2 AIRPORT EXPRESS AT HOTEL ROOM

Hello,
I know this subject probably have been talk alot on this formum but I cant find the tread.
My question is how to you set up a private network in hotel room with 2 airport express when the hotel only offers wireless in room and not a ethernet connection.
I know that one airport express needs to be setup to join the hotel internet then connect the second airport express by way of cable to setup your own private network so that your iphone and ipad can connect without being charge a fee for the extra items.

Yes by configuring the AE with Airport Utility you can set a network password.

Sudden weak wifi in one room

Within the past month or so my wife and I have both noticed that in our bedroom all of our apple products (iPad, mini, and phones) have become very unreliable for things like YouTube or Netflix loading/buffering, and often standard websites don't work at all. We've both tried resetting everything and also reset the router. All other devices in the house, including a blu ray player in the same room, have no issues. The products also show a full strength wifi connection but don't work, though as soon as we leave the bedroom everything does. Any ideas what might have caused this and what the solution might be?

Check your router for these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4199
That may help, but in the end, the strength that the Apple products are receiving are just not very strong for some reason in your one room only. DIfferent product use different band like a,b,g,n so one type of device can have a stong signal while another has a weak one if one band is having an issue in the router or otherwise having an issue penetrating walls.
You can also try resetting the router to factory settings and updating the firmware. I used to have this same issue with a Linksys router, but then I finally replaced with with an Airport Extreme and the beamforming technology eliminated all issues. I now have 100% strength in 95% of my home and outside to.

I am looking to set up the airport express in my room to be linked off the others, but have its own password, is this possible? if so what do i do?

i am convinced that i am able to set up my airport express in my room to be linked off the base station (airport extreme) wirelessly and have a separate password and name, such as for my room tkbowers room, instead of tkbowers wifi

No. not when you extend.. when you extend it is the same wireless all the way through.. same name.. same password..
The base station name is different but how relevant is that??

I want to install an old airport express, the ones which are directly plugged into the socket - but it does not work with Maverick or Snow Leopard - can I configure it with a windows pc?

The Mac running Snow Leopard should be able to configure virtually any version of the AirPort Express.
Tell us what steps that you are taking to configure the Express and what happens after each step.

Can I use The Airport Express as a router only. Need your help

Hi there,
I need to get some help from anyone for a good wireless router for a MacBook Pro. I want to know if anyone had a Airport Express as a router only of some help in this matter.
Hope to get your feedback. Thanks
From Samantha Kellar

Can you explain a bit more?
The Apple Express is a router. The new Apple Express has a LAN port so you can have a device on a wired connection.
Are you talking about removing the modem and only having the Airport Express?

HT3728 I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only. Can this be done and how?

I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only. Can this be done and how?

You can configure the AirPort Expess to "Join a wireless network" and enable the Ethernet port so that Ethernet devices will be able to connect.
In order to print from the iOS devices, you will need to have an application like Printopia installed on your Mac. The Mac must be active when you want to print.
More details here: Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
There is a free trial available for Printopia, so make sure that it will work before you buy the AirPort Express.

Can I strem audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes

Can I stream audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes. where can I suggest to Apple make some about it?

Hello keer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can I stream audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes.
Yes. To stream audio, other than from an iTunes source, to an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) you will need a third-party product, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil.
where can I suggest to Apple make some about it?
You can submit suggestions to Apple at the following link: Apple Product Feedback

Airport Express in hotels wireless only connection

I am in a hotel without Ethernet cable available, only wifi. I can connect one device per room. I want to connect my PC with Windows 7, my iPhone and my iPad without having to pay for three Internet access fees using airport express 1st gen to create a private network. i saw an article that shows how to do it using a Mac. How should I configure my PC for that?
I connected my PC to the wifi of the hotel, connected the airport express to the PC via Ethernet and could not see the airport express as a base.
Any comment is appreciated.
Milton

i saw an article that shows how to do it using a Mac. How should I configure my PC for that?
The article that you saw regarding using a Mac likely mentioned the Mac's ability to "Share" a wireless Internet connection over the Ethernet port on the Mac.
I cannot say whether a PC has this same type of capability, but something like this would be a requirement to do what you ask about. It might be worth a post in a Windows 7 support forum to see if this type of feature is supported.
We do not have many PC guys here on this support community, but there is a possibility that one might see your post and respond.....so check back over the next few days to look for any new responses.

CONSTANT problems with Airport Express in two rooms, dropped connection with gateway, no AirPlay

I have 3 Airport Express in my apartment, one is connected (named Living Room) to my ISP provided gateway (router) and acts as the main wireless hub, the other two (named Kitchen and Bedroom) and are set up to provide AirPlay audio only.
The ones set up for AirPlay have had constant issues since we moved to our new place 4 months ago, this is very strange because we were with the same ISP in the old place and used the same gateway (router) without any problems which leads me to think that there is something in the walls in the new place which is blocking an effective signal.
Even as I type this, I have Airport Utility open on my Mac and a message just popped up from AU saying that 'Living Room is unavailable'.
Attached is a screenshot which shows the current status of the Airport network. Basically it is a mess, and I have tried everything, from resetting the ISP router and all the AXPs, to changing the Network Modes to experimenting with repositioning the units to points in rooms where the reception might be better.
NOTHING has made any difference.

Sorry, have been away for work so only just had a chance to look again at this:
I'lll try again: right now using WiFI Explorer I can see 9 other networks, 3 of those are using channel 11, the same as my Airport Express network. (Set to Automatic in Airport Utility)
What I tried to explain earlier was that the one in the kitchen will not stay connected long enough for me to get a reading on WiFi Explorer, but I can tell you that I powered up the one in the bedroom at 19:56, it is currently connected in Extend Wireless Network mode (the one in the kitchen is disconnected from the power) and has an average SNR of 59dB (and shows as 'Excellent' in Airport Utility) and so far it has not dropped the connection, but I am 99% certain that it will be back to blinking amber by tomorrow.
So there is one Airport Express in the living room which is the one that has created the wireless network, within the living room the Average SNR is around 60% (as you would expect as that is the unit that is wired to the ISP provided router).
Since I connected the one in the bedroom earlier this evening it has managed to stay connected and appears to still be extending the network, I checked it just now by standing next to it with WiFi Explorer open on my MacBook Pro and it showed an average SNR of 55%.
I ordered a 10 metre ethernet cable yesterday and I will try relocating the unit that is set to create the wireless network to a place in the living room that is closer to the bedroom and kitchen. It is currently on a shelf on the TV bank which is about two metres away from the wall closest to the kitchen.
I will report back here once I have moved it and set up the kitchen and bedroom boxes again. Hopefully this will allow the kitchen one to stay connected long enough for me to get a reading on WiFi Explorer.

Wireless modem and Airport Express.. one at a time

Recently my internet provider upgraded my old plug in modem to a newer wireless model. Now it seems that the current setting allow communication with only one or the other at the same time. If I want to be online with the wireless modem and send my iTunes music via Airport Express to my sound system, no dice. I have to either click on the modem up in the Airport choices to be online and listen to iTunes through the computer speakers, or go offline to listen to music through the sound system and Airport Express.
I'm sure I'm just missing something in preferences or settings somewhere.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks, and Happy New Year!

No ideas?

How can I Connecticut two Airport Express with One Time Capsula?

Only by Wifi or by LAN in a row?

What are you trying to accomplish with the AirPort Express devices?
Where will the Express devices be located in relation to the Time Capsule?
If you are planning to use the Express devices to "extend" the wireless range of your network, Ethernet LAN will always provide far better performance than trying to connect the Express devices using wireless only.
You have the option of connecting both AirPort Express devices directly back to two LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....or....connecting one Express back to the Time Capsule and then connecting the second Express to the first Express using Ethernet. This assumes that you have a "new" Express with both WAN and LAN ports.
If you choose wireless only, both Express devices will connect back directly to the Time Capsule, so both of them should be located where they can receive a strong signal from the Time Capsule wireless.
A "hybrid" approach can also work. Connect one Express to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable and then setup the second Express to connect to the first Express using wireless only.

Can't see new AirPort Express on a wired-only network.

After checking up http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108064-en I decided to buy an AirPort Express and to hook it to my wired-only home network. I have connected the AEX to one of the Ethernet ports on the router and plugged it in, the light is solid green.
The AirPort Utility says that it is "unable to find any AirPort base station".
Using Configure Other... in the File menu, I tried the IP address 192.168.0.12 with the password "public" I get Error -6753.
The address should be the right one because a) I can ping it b) There are only 2 computers on the network and the have addresses 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.11 and c) I have limited the address range to 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.109 when setting DHCP in the router.
Thanks for your help.

Ubacs, Welcome to the discussion area!
Have you tried doing hard or factory default reset of the AirPort Express (AX)?

Airport Express (b and g only) not connecting to internet

Hey guys I have the old airport express (B and G) and I have been trying to make it connect it to the internet for 5 hours. I have an arris cable modem and a linksys 10/100 5-Port Workgroup switch router thats in between the airport and the cable modem. I have tried hard reseting the airport and manually changing the subnet mask to the correct one but it won't connect I have tried directly connecting the airport to the cable modem but still no go the weird thing is the mac mini also connected to the router and does connect to the internet but the subnet mask address does not match up with the one the airport automatically assigns the mac mini has 255.255.255.0 but the airport gets 255.255.255.255 and when i try to to change it manually it gives me the green light but still won't let me connect to the internet any ideas i have just about had it with this thing.

...and a linksys 10/100 5-Port Workgroup switch router...
Since I have never heard of a device described as a "switch router",I'm going to guess that this thing is really only a switch. Using a switch in this way will not work. You need to place a router (even a very inexpensive one) between the cable modem and the AirPort Express (AX). Then the AX would be configured to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address). The router would then provide IP addresses to the AX's clients as well as the ones connected via Ethernet to the router.

Airport Express switch to N-Only , Unable to Connect or Even detect router.

Hi, I have a macbook pro from early feb 2008 with the penryn processor in it and an airport express wireless N. When i have the airport express in 802.11n (b/g compatible) i'm able to connect and see the router wirelessly, but when i do N only (2.4 or 5 ghz), i can't connect nor detect the router. It basically just "disappears" and i have to manually reset the router by pressing the small button, setting it back to 802.11n (b/g compatible). Now i'm pretty sure i have wireless N enabled on my macbook pro, because under network utilities i see a/b/g/n as the transmission modes available.
Anyone else have this problem or have any idea on how to solve it?

I'm assuming that you have the Time Capsule and each AirPort Express device setup correctly, but just in case can you check your settings using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
First check the Time Capsule
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode should be set to "Create a wireless network"
There must be a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update to save any changes
On each AirPort Express
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as you Time Capsule network
Check mark next to Allow Wireless Clients
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as your Time Capsule
Wireless Password = Exact same password as your Time Capsule
Update to save any changes
If your settings look like the examples above, and you know that interference is not preventing a connection, then I'm out of ideas.
