Two Airport express. only one at a time able to stream music....

I have one Airport express feeding me the internet from the office. this unit has no speakers conected to it.
the second unit is in the living room and i want to send music to that one.
when i select the living room airport express i can't go online.
when i select the office unit i can't stream music to the
HiFi.....
I have downloaded AIRFOIL (3rd party app) to fix this but it can only connect to the airport express that i have select on the menu bar.
i hope this makes sense to someone out there
Thanks for your time.

    Theoretically as much as you want but there are technical limitations about the usable bandwidth in the wireless or by the used access point.
    All participants (stations) in a wireless network share the available bandwhith equally and therefore a point will get reached where the throughput in the network became insufficient to stream music.
    Also some routers limit the number of stations could get connected. For instance Apples Airport Extreme have a limit of 50 connected clients and the AP-Express (if used as access point) a limit of 10 simultaneous connections.

  • Two airport express no longer show w time capsule in utility

    did the latest update interfere with our two airport express. i did the Mac update install and neither of the airport express show in the configuration.  we also had a power outage yesterday for about 5 hours.  not sure which is the culprit but after doing the install and rebooting the entire system we still have no airport express devices showing anymore under the time capsule and their lights are solid yellow.

    Factory reset them.. they have stopped boot.. (solid yellow) .. it must flash yellow or when setup correctly go to green.
    And yes, Yosemite has the worst airport utility and network on any new OS ever released.. ever.. I mean Vista badness.

  • 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.

  • AirPort Express, only one device connected at a time.

         I was setting up my uncles Airport Express yesterdy and got everything set up and the wifi signal broadcasting properly. It was then time to set up his iPad. I used a windows computer to set up the iPad and everything was going fine. After the iPad was running and I connected it to the network, I would lose the signal from the PC. From that point forward I would only be able to access the internet on the PC when the iPad's wifi was turned off.
         I have had this problem with other routers before but was never able to figure out the problem. Is there something that I am missing? any help would be appreciated. I set the netork up with the default settings and set up a password to the network that has been entered correctly on both machines. Any help will be appreciated.

    How do you have your Airport Express setup?
    On the Internet tab, what do you have for "Connection Sharing" ?
    Off (Bridge Mode) ?
    Share a public IP address ?
    Other ?
    Is your modem from your Internet provider just a modem, or a router, or a wireless router ????
    More info is needed.

  • 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?

  • 2 Airport Expresses, only one can connect

    Have 2 airport expresses....if I turn off password protection on the router, I can connect them both with zero issues through the airport utility.  As soon as I change back to password protection, I can only get one to be "seen" by the airport utility after factory resetting.  Any suggestions?  The router is a 2wire from Uverse.

    Mmmm, when you go to set up the second one, you could connect it by ethernet to your computer to make sure it is seen.

  • 2 Airport Expresses - Only 1 works at a time

    I have two Airport Expresses. One is hooked up in my living room to a pair of remote speakers. The other is hooked up in an office directly to the internet. I can only get one to be recognized at a time. Is it possible to create a network that recognizes both at once?

    Henry, I read through the tips on Felix. The IP
    address shown for my laptop is 192. (etc) not the
    10.1 (etc). This seems to be the problem. But, it
    doesn't say on Felix how to fix it. It just says it
    is a problem if you don't see the 10.1 IP address.
    Kara, I am a bit out of my breath here, since windows is not my cup of tea.
    However, the problem is not not being a
    10.1.xxx.xxx ,
    it is being a
    169.xxx.xxx.xxx.
    IP.
    192 is generally good, and generally means you should be browsing away.
    Check, if you can, the other computer ip address and the router address (both computers should have the same router address) .
    You should have something like this for the two IPs :
    192.===.===.xxx
    and
    192.===.===.yyy.
    Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 for both.
    = means both computers should have the same number there (it might not be 3 digits) and xxx and yyy are supposed to be different.
    Also, it does not have to be 3 digits, depending on the number of computers and your settings xxx could be x and yyy could be y.
    Check to see if you can solve the problem. But provide a lot of information on your settings. The more info, the easier it will be to help you.

  • Adding two airport expresses to my network

    I live in a flat that is currently covered perfectly by my wireless network (non Apple wireless router, and no intention to change).
    On the network I have (amongst many other devices..!) one wired Apple TV in the living room, linked to TV / surround sound.  If I were to buy two Airport Express units, one for the hifi in one room (kitchen!) and one for another hifi (bedroom), will these simply link in to my existing network wirelessly     ?
    Thanks.

    Sorry, I am not following this.
    Are you saying that the baby monitor needs to connect to the Ethernet port on the Express?
    If that is the case, unfortunately the older A1084 is not compatible with Apple's newer "extend a wireless network feature".
    You will need a model A1264 for that, or the "new" AirPort Express, model A1392.

  • How can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express

    how can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express ?
    The time capsule is near the Mac. ok
    The first Airport is on the corridor, ok, works well and the App on the iPad signals so, ok
    But when I plug the next Airport on another room nearby nothing happens, and signals disconected ....
    is the signal so weak that is not able to go to ono room to the other ?

    Well, even if you have the first express set up to extend the network, the second express can only extend from the TimeCapsule.
    Maybe you got walls of sheetrook in the way, or kitchen/bathroom tiles, etc, dampening the signal rapidly.

  • Airport Express only broadcasts either 2.4ghz OR 5ghz at any one time?

    Hi folks...here's hoping someone can help. I've searched high and low, but have not been able to find the answer.
    I just got an Airport Express and successfully set it up to extend my existing network (from an Airport Extreme Base Station). However, it seems to be only extending the 2.4GHz signal. When I look at the set-up in Airport Utility, it seems that I would have to select either the 2.4GHz OR the 5GHz...it can't seem to broadcast both signals (unlike the Airport Extreme)
    Does the airport express only broadcast either 2.4ghz OR 5ghz at any one time?

    Does the airport express only broadcast either 2.4ghz OR 5ghz at any one time?
    Yes. If you have the AirPort Express set to "extend a wireless network", it will extend either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band, but not both. The AirPort Express is dual band in a sense that it can handle 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz signals. But, it can't do this simultaneously.
    The Express extends the band that it "sees" with the strongest signal, which will be the 2.4 GHz band in most cases because 5 GHz signals are weaker and do not penetrate obstructions or travel over distance as well as 2.4 GHz signals.
    If you want to extend both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, you'll need another AirPort Express, or a simultaneous dual band AirPort Extreme would do the trick as well.

  • One Time Capsule & Two Airport Express for Range Extension but will my time capsule hard drive be accessible to all the user on network ?

    I am planning to buy 2TB time capsule which is [2TB hard drive + Airport Extreme] and two Airport Express to extend the range of my wifi network. we have a large family & because of that we have 1 macbook, 2 laptops , 2 desktops, 4 iphones, 2 ipads, 3 android phones, 2 apple tvs, 2 ps3's. all of these devices are on my Wifi network but some of them are off usually ps3, apple tv and desktops computers r off but still their is alot of traffic. Now i am buying this 2TB time capsule instead of Airport Extreme so that i can save money by getting 2TB hard drive for me only & not the whole family so i want to know if i can keep the hard drive private & at the same time i want to share my internet connection with all of these devices which belongs to my family members, will this be okay ? and they wont be able to access my hard drive ? & will i be able to access my hard drive if i m connected to any of those two airport express & not the main time capsule. indirectly i will be connected to time capsule by using airport expresses in client mode correct me if i am wrong 

    You can use TC with whatever wireless you currently have.. if it works you should not need to buy a pair of express as well. The best method is to bridge the TC and plug it into the main router.
    You can certainly keep it private for your own access only.. simply set a disk password only you know. Easy.
    As long as you have a single network, then wherever you connect in the network will be able to access the TC.. but also note file speeds to the TC with multiple wireless hops will be terrible slow.
    Also note all security on the TC is an illusion. It is a home device.. press reset and anybody can then access it. You can even get past disk password. If you want security keep the device off the network.. use an external hard disk plugged directly into the computer.

  • Can I link up one time capsule with two airport express, Can I link up one time capsule with two airport express

    Hi, I would like to know whether I can link up one time capsule with two airport express. The result why is that I would like to put one time capsule at first floor, two airport express at 2nd floor and 3rd floor. All these three share one network. Please advise. Thanks.

    There are several ways to conenct them. We need to know what it is you want to accomplish first. Do you want better Wi-Fi coverage on the second and third floors or do you want to stream music to the xpresses?

  • Lost connection to one of my Airport express units. Serial number 44500WQV0. Message in Airport Utility is to use Version 5.6 to configure base station. I have version 6.3.1. Both airport express units bought at same time few years ago.

    Hello all.
    Lost my connection to one of two airport express units. Both purchased few years ago. Use them to stream music to house speakers via WiFi. I have v6.3.1 of Airport Utility. Message says to use v5.6 to reconfigure this base station.
    How do I do that, please?
    Mahesh

    You can use the following workaround to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on a Lion or Mountain Lion Mac:
    Be sure to read the caveats at the end.
    Lion / Mountain Lion's package installer will refuse to install superseded versions of AirPort Utility. Instead you will need to use a package extractor such as Pacifist or unpkg. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
    Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    When the AirPort Utility .dmg file finishes downloading, open it to expand and reveal the AirPortUtility56.pkg package installer file.
    Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
    Open Pacifist and from its File menu, navigate to the package and open it.
    Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility 5.6.app:
    Select it and then click Install from Pacifist's toolbar. It will then be installed in your Utilities folder, and you can quit Pacifist.
    The most recent version of AirPort Utility included with Mountain Lion should be used to configure 802.11n - capable AirPort Base Stations. Make no attempt to delete it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist. Use the older version only as necessary for older AirPort Base Stations that cannot be administered any other way.
    If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder instead of resorting to the above procedure. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
    Keep in mind that Apple's decision to abandon support for the original AirPort Express and AEBS was for reasons known only to them. Remember that you are using obsolete equipment, should some future OS X feature not work for you.
