The airport express needs to be plugged into the modem to work?
I already have a wifi device plugged to my modem I was trying to get a wifi extension signal to the other room. I boguht the airport express expecting to get wifi signal without having to plug it to the modem. Is that possible?
As I said....
The AirPort Express can "extend" the wireless signal of another Apple product....an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another Express......using wireless only.
Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have a minimum of two Apple routers if you want to be able to "extend a wireless network".
The Express will not be able to extend the signal of your Xfinity modem/router using wireless only. It should be able to "join" the wireless network if you want to connect a remote printer or use AirTunes. But, the Express will not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it "joins" a wireless network.
You will need to plan to connect the AirPort Express back to your Xfinity modem/router using a wired Ethernet connection if you want the Express to provide more wireless signal coverage for your network.

Does my Airport Express need to be hardwired to my modem?
My Imac and modem are in my basement. I have an airport express in my garage so i can play music through Airplay. Does the airport express need to be connected to my modem with an ethernet cable, or can it just connect to my wifi network to enable Airplay?
See this article, AirPort Utility 6.x: Set up a bridge or AirPort Express: How to join an existing Wi-Fi network in client mode , about configuring the AEX. Be sure to have your Airport enabled on the computer.
I'm not sure how easy this will be when using a non-Apple router. -

Yes. Distance can increase interference causing delays in streaming.

Does Airport Express need to be configured to allow AirPlay to work between an iPhone 4s and an iPad2?
Also, attempting to use Airplay with iOS7 shuts off sound to the speakers while allowing sound thru the ear buds! The fix was to restart by depressing the lock switch (opposite the sound out port).Does Airport Express need to be configured to allow AirPlay to work between an iPhone 4s and an iPad2?
You need a minimum of three things for AirPlay:
An iTunes host. This can be a Mac, PC, or iOS device.
A wired or wireless network.
An AirPlay Speaker. This can be an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or a AirPlay-Ready device.
Is your goal to stream between two iOS devices? -

my ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11. Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade. The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini usb port, but the itunes window does not say it is synching like it has before so whats the culprit? Techno virgin in distress!
PS - I added an iphone5 which is whay these upgrades happened so this synching to the ipod error is since the iphone began synching.I just learn in some post that the most common lapses in syncing is not checking if "sync music" in music section of the ipod is ticked. So double check if it is. Cheers!

I have the airport express as router can I buy the new airport express and extend my net?
Things can get confusing pretty quickly since there are 3 different versions of the AirPort Express.
If by "old", you mean you have Model No A1084 or A1088 AirPort Express (look at the label on the side of the device for the Model No), it cannot be used with the "Extend a wireless network" feature of other newer Apple routers.
If your AirPort Extreme is "square" shaped with rounded corners, then the "old" AirPort Express will not work with your AirPort Extreme using the "Extend a wireless network" settings.
You could use a "previous version" AirPort Express, Model No A1264 to "Extend", or the "new" AirPort Express, Model No A1392, for that purpose.
If your AirPort Extreme is a simultaneous dual band product, then the "new" Express would be able to "extend" both bands. The "previous" AirPort Express (Model A1264) would be able to extend only one band, since it is not a dual band device. -

I am trying to connect my airport express to extend the range of my network to a bedroom that is hard wired for internet. What type of cord/cords do I need to do that?
You can connect the AirPort Express to the wall port in the bedroom for the setup.....but first....if you have not already done so.....it would be a great idea to make sure that the connection in the bedroom is working correctly.
To do that, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop directly to the wall port in the bedroom using an Ethernet cable. Make sure that the laptop can get a good Internet connection that way. If it can, this tells you that the cabling is working correctly, so the Express will work well when you connect it up.
If you don't have a laptop with an Ethernet port, then we'll have to assume that the folks that pulled the cables and installed the jacks tested things as part of the installation.
When you are ready to install the Express, you can use an iPhone or iPad if you have one handy for the setup. -
How to save the files to a USB memory plugged into the EVS-1463RT
I am trying to collect images with EVS-1463RT by running a vi. The EVS has LV Real Time v13.0.1 installed. The vi runs well and save images to a folder ('C:\Images\') in the development PC. But, when I deploy the vi to EVS-1463RT, the vi cannot find the directory and nothing is saved in the folder. I am considering to save the files to a USB drive connected to a port on the EVS. Would it be possible to save the image files to a USB memory plugged into the EVS-1463RT? If so, what would be the file path to the USB connector?
Thanks for the information.
Then, the problem becomes where I get this "USB Storage Support". Search in the NI site doesn't tell me much other than something related to LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite. Is that what I need? I am not sure if I have it. If it is not easily available, another option can be using a CompactFlash card as long as I know the file path to use. Thanks. -
I have the airport express and trying to set up internet service on my TV (Vizio) but having no luck.... I need a code to enter in order to connect! Can you help?
Hi - you might be getting full bars but a slow connection - games can be very sensitive to this - have you tried connecting via ethernet to see if it is better? - however if your wireless speed is good too then it could be a ps3 issue and a call to their support might help - otherwise there could be interference issues, radio channel conflicts, etc. - without knowing the specific aspects of your entire network environment it is hard to make any more suggestions.

I want to use the Airport Express to play my iTunes through the house
I moved into a house that has speakers throughout the house. The speaker cables from the speakers are terminated in one location in the basement entertainment area. One thought is to hook up the speaker cables to a speaker selector to setup zones in the house. However, I would like to integrate the Airport Express device to this. It would be awesome to be able to play my iTunes library through the house. I see that there is a 3.5mm output from the Airport Express. Does anyone have a recommendation on how I might be able to set this up? Do I have to buy a stereo receiver that takes the 3.5mm output from the Airport Express and then hook the receiver up to a speaker selector? Any thoughts or tips would be greatly appreciated.
One option is to get an AV receiver that supports both whole-house connectivity and AirPlay. You would connect all of your speakers to this receiver. The receiver would control which rooms get sound. In turn, you would stream from any AirPlay-ready device to the receiver. You can also substitute an AV receiver that does not support AirPlay directly. In this case, you would connect an AirPort Express to the receiver's digital optical audio port and send the streams to the Express instead.

Can I connect the Airport Express to a TV and watch the screen of my Mac on the TV?
Could I know if I can connect the Airport Express to the TV and watch the screen of my Mac or iPad or iPhone... On the TV?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's not possible with an AirPort Express. However, what you can do is to use an Apple TV if you want to mirror your iPhone, iPad and Mac onto the TV, being all of them connected to the AirPort Express. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5209?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
