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.

  • My Iphone will not accept the Apple airport express as the Wi fi network so I can facetime, how do I fix?

    My Iphone (I have a 4s and 3G) will not accept the apple airport express as the wi fi network so that I can face time. How do I resolve this?

    What are the exact specifications of the wireless network you've created? (If you're not sure, open Airport Utility on your computer and check the Radio Mode in the Wireless tab). Bear in mind:
    - iPhones earlier than the iPhone 4 cannot connect to an "n-only" network - they need b/g compatibility.
    - No iPhone can connect to a 5GHz network (Compatibility mode will also fix this).

  • Can I share internet from a airport express via the ethernet port

    I have a older airport express that I am trying to you to share the internet with a Marantz AV receiver. I used to be able to share the internet to a PS2 a few years back.
    I was able to set up another network parallel to my normal wireless network with an older moonbase style airport extreme using WDS.
    I am unsure if this is the limitation that apple has introduced to the unit, or it is a Telstra firewall issue.
    Is it possible using a combination of Airport Etremes or expresses to share the internet to a wired unit?

    I have a new airport extreme that I use all the time. I was using the older airport express for airplay.
    The older airport extreme I just pulled down from the cupboard trying to get the AVR connected.
    Since posting I have able to use the Airport extreme to connect the AVR via the ethernet port.
    Still curious why I cannot connect using the airport express.
    Interestingly the older airport extreme pushed the new airport extreme into WDS mode. Tried to hook up the express and it did not work.

  • So does the Apple Airport Express take the place of the "Charter" modem and router we already have in our house?

    We purchased the Apple Airport Express and in our home have 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, 1 iPod, 1 MacBook, and two *D* computers and a Brother printer along with Apple TV and a projector.
    1. How do we get them all to mirror the content of the various devices onto the TV or the projector?
    2. Can we now unplug the *Ch* equipment from our cable source and plug in the airport express?
    Putting all the pieces together is just a little beyond us at this moment. Maybe it will click with a little help. Thanks!

    I'm pretty sure you will find that the Airport Express will not work with your router unless it's an Airport Extreme Base Station.
    You can do two things with the Airport Express. You can connect it by USB or Ethernet cable to a device like a printer that does not have wireless capability and provide a wireless connection to your router provided the two devices will "talk" to each other.
    You can connect it to a Mac to provide audio streaming wirelessly.
    You may be able to use it with your projector provided it has its own wireless capability, but I don't know if an Airport Express will stream video. Same for your TV.
    In fact for your home I'm not sure the AEX would be of much use except to connect to your Mac in order to stream audio to another wireless device in your home. But only if you can get the AEX to work with your router or replace the router with an AEBS (which you could only do if your current router is a discrete device connected to your Charter cable modem.)

  • I'm trying to access an Airport Express via the internet using ipv6, it it possible? I get the icon under APU 5.6 but it times out getting details

    I've managed to have only an ipv6 address for an Airport Express in Spain and I cannot access it from the UK, Local pc (Windows) does not show it under Airport Utility for Windows, Airport Utility 5.6 show it here (via VPN) but will not download details.

  • Can anyone clarify what exactly is the difference between the new Airport Express and the Airport Extreme?

    The specs look virtually identical and the form factor is also much the same.
    The price is not.

    Extreme: three LAN ports, Express: one (four total Ethernet ports vs. two, respectively)
    Extreme: Gigabit Ethernet, Express: 10/100 base-T
    Only the Express can stream iTunes (AirPlay) music
    The first two limitations make it resemble the original AirPort Extreme. Dual band is a big plus though, and will go a long way toward alleviating a lot of people's problems with wireless interference.
    The form factor is different as the new Express is not designed to be mounted directly to a power receptacle. Also, the new one allegedly supports 50 clients whereas the 802.11n Express was only 10. However, those never seemed to be limitations in actual use.

  • Does the Airport Express support the DHCP BROADCAST flag

    In trying to connect a vista laptop to an existing Airport Express Network and the internet, went ot MS Help and found an article saying Vista is set with a 0 (Zero) in the Registry (whatever that is).The comment is -
    A value of 0 disables this registry entry. You can use this registry entry to prevent Windows Vista from using the DHCP BROADCAST flag. After you set this registry entry, Windows Vista never uses the DHCP BROADCAST flag.
    Can someone who doesnt type in UNIX or DOS tell me what might work and if this even applies. I am not inclined to do the following -
    Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 
    Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces \{GUID}
    In this registry path, click the (GUID) subkey that corresponds to the network adapter that is connected to the network.
    On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
    In the New Value #1 box, type DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, and then press ENTER.
    Right-click DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, and then click Modify.
    In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
    Close Registry Editor.
    Hard wired to the Cable Modem the computer can connect to the internet without any of this. What in the Airport Express could be blocking this computer?

    Sorry, none of the Apple products support this.

  • How to connect grace digital wifi radio receiver to airport express.

    Hi,
    I need to connect grace digital wifi radio receiver to airport express. The receiver works fine with belkin n150, however when connected to express as primary base station ( belkin switch off), it displays
    "Default gateway.......
    Port 80 not found. not connected"
    The conneted type is dynamic wifi network (POE + ). The express is set in bridge mode and configured through ipad.

    Hi,
    Called up the apple support services on Dec 9, 2013 and was on line for almost 1 hour without a solution. However, received a call back from team in Singapore on the same day and commitment to revert on the issue within 24 hrs. Received a call within 24 hrs and the entire discussion came down to the point that I have to manually set the grace digital equipment.
    I tried other options and eventually the simplest thing to do was to set the connection option to DHCP only and ignore the error.
    Now its working fine..

  • Connect airport express to Thomson GT782T router modem

    I have a non Mac router and modem. I cannot get my Airport Express to connect either wirelessly or by attaching ethernet cable directly to DSL modem. Can anyone help?

    Just to clarify, the "modem and router" you mentioned in your first message is the GT782T, right?
    Assuming it is, and assuming you've got your ISP username and password to hand:
    While the manual for your modem (the GT782T) doesn't go into quite enough detail for me to give you complete step by step instructions, essentially what you need to do is to log into the GT782T and hunt around for an option to switch it into something called bridge mode. This should essentially stop it from acting as a router and instead allow the Airport Express to do that instead, though t's important to be aware that until you do the next part, your internet connection won't work.
    Once you've enabled bridge mode on the GT782T you'll then need to connect it to the Airport Express via the WAN port, then open Airport Utility, select it, click Edit, then on the Internet tab, click the dropdown next to Connect Using and select PPPoE, entering your ISP username in the Account Name box, and the password in, er, the password box, then click Update. The Airport Express should restart, and hopefully come back online with your internet connection in toe .

  • Using both the printer and AirTunes on the same Airport Express

    Can I use the same AirPort Express to print wirelessly and have AirTunes hooked up to it also. Or would I have to get a separate AirPort for each use.

    Yes. There may be a hiccup due to bandwidth use if you print while streaming. But the answer is still yes.

  • Can two Airport Expresses double the range ?

    Hello
    Can You daisy chain more than one Airport Express to get a strong signal ?
    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and an Airport Express in another room that extends the range of the network.Can I extend this range even further with a second Airport Express ?
    Currently both Airport Expresses have stereos attached and work great and the first Airport Express extends the range but the second doesn't appear to extend the range even though it shows a good signal.
    Thanks

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and an Airport Express in another room that extends the range of the network.Can I extend this range even further with a second Airport Express ?
    Yes, you will want to configure the first AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a relay base station, and the second AX as a remote base station in the WDS.

  • What is the difference between the all new airport express and the previous model, is it worth me upgrading ?

    Hi does anyone know the benefits of the new airport express against the previous model?

    See the specs:
    Compare Notebooks - Apple Store (U.S.)
    Compare with your model. If you are within 14 days of purchase you can exchange for the new model for the difference in price, if any. Be sure to have all the original packaging and your receipt.

  • Thank you all for the responses. By process of elimination, I think the problem is the connection to the express in between the extreme and dock. I bought another express and tried it at dock, no luck, I then replaced new express where the one is between

    I have an airport extreme and express setup. My extreme is in my 2nd floor office with windows facing the water. My dock is about 250 ft away down a very steep hill. I have the express about 100 ft down the hill in an electrical waterproof box attached to a tree as high as I could install. The signal is weak and I'm thinking I might have to buy another express. Any thoughts on the best setup for me. I ultimately want to control speakers(hard wired in) down at the dock with my iphone. I have a receiver coming with airplay built in.
    Thank you all for the responses. By process of elimination, I think the problem is the connection to the express in between the extreme and dock. I bought another express and tried it at dock, no luck, I then replaced new express where the one is between extreme and dock, no better. I unplugged the express between extreme and dock and there was no difference. So I believe I am connecting to the airport express or extreme that is inside the house. Again because when i approach express that is halfway I reconnect. so if you can understand my chaos, I believe the express in between is not really connecting to the extreme inside my house. Yes, No? So I need to know how to know if the express half way down the hill is getting the connection from the the extreme in the house. This is wearing me out!!!!!

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.
