Use my Airport Express to connect my PC to my non-aiport wireless network??

I have a wireless network at my house. Can I somehow use my airport express to connect a pc that does not have a wireless card to my existing (non-airport) wireless network?

  • HT1515 Can I use my airport express to connect a printer AND to extend my wifi network at the same time? Or one feature excludes the other? Thanks...

    It is an Airport Express first gen.

    Yes, the AirPort Express do all that you ask.....providing that it will be extending the network from another Apple router.

  • Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access?  Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

    Thanks for the help.  Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible.  Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it? 
    I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located.  Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet.  Thanks for the help.

    If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

  • Can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

    can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

    Yes, if the AirPort Express is set up to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name as the other router and the same wireless network password as the other router.

  • How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection, How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection

    Trying to connect my xbox to the airport express. Have wireless in home and do not have a ethernet point behind tv/xbox. How do I configure the airport express to connect to my wireless network and then the airport express can use its connection via ethernet to connect the xbox to the internet.

    Is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) a 802.11n model? If it is, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge or ProxySTA. This would allow the AX to join another wireless network and have its Ethernet port enabled for wired clients, like the Xbox 360.
    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.

  • Using the Airport Express to connect iPod Touch to internet

    I'm getting an iPod Touch for Christmas but I don't have a wireless router.
    How exactly do I connect through the Airport Express?
    Do I just plug it into a wall socket and plug my Ethernet cable into it?

    You own an Airport Express and use it for Wlan?
    If this is the case just connect to your wlan via the new Ipod touch.
    What you can't do:
    Use your Airport Express without any connection to a dsl-line or another router that is connected to the net. It would be helpful if you could describe your complete setup.

  • Has anyone used an Airport Express to connect to a Yamaha Disklavier Piano?

    Does anyone own a Yamaha Disklavier piano and have it connected to the internet using an airport express?

    Just plugged my Airport Express into a power strip and ran the Ethernet cable to the back of the Yamaha E3 Disclavelier's Ethernet port. Used Apple's Airport Utility to verify it shows up on my network. You can then download the Yamaha Disklavelier App from the App Store and now my iPhone controls the piano. Super easy and way cool!

  • Want to use my Airport express to connect to my itune-air tune only.

    I am travelling with my Airport Express to different countries, where I am not using it as a device to connect to the internet, but to connect my external speakers and want to enjoy my itune Air tunes.
    I have had it set up back home, to connect to the internet and my external speakers.
    Now, my Airport express is flashing amber, in the airport utility, I see my AirP Express, but I it takes forever to read base station configurations, so I can't make any changes.
    All I need is to be able to use my itunes over my airtunes, using my Airp Express.

    Ah - that fully explains what is going on.
    In that case:
    1. if you are currently on the road, you will need to do a hard reset of the Airport Express to return it to its default mode of a standalone base station. You will then be able to access it and configure it as necessary. And yes, the amber flashing light will persist. And lastly, will will need to reconfigure it from scratch as a remote base station on your home wireless LAN when you return home.
    2. if you are home right now, read up on the use of the Airport Express stored profiles feature, to save its current settings as a remote base station. You can also create a profile for the Airport Express to function as a standalone base station for when you are on the road. Just remember to switch profiles before you hit the road. If you forget to switch profiles before going on the road, just do a "soft reset" of the Airport Express, connect to its default wireless network, and use the Airport Utility to switch the Airport Express to your previously saved "on the road" profile.

  • Can I connect multiple Mac's using the Airport Express?

    As subject. I have got an Intel iMac and a MacBook. Can I connect them using the Airport Express? Or in another word, to create a network among them that I can see the other Mac on one Mac?
    Sorry, if I raised a silly question. But really like to know.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Can i use the airport express in my hotel with wired connection?

    I'm going to be traveling quite a bit coming up and staying in hotels with wired internet connections in the room.  Can i use the airport express to connect with the hotel's internet connection and then my ipad and/or iphone 4S?  I'm new to Apple products so will certainly appreciate any info that may help.  Thank you!

    You will need to have AirPort Utility installed on the iPad and/or iPhone. It is free on the App Store
    App Store - AirPort Utility
    Connect the AirPort Express 802.11n to the hotel Ethernet jack using an Ethernet cable
    Power up the AirPort Express and wait 40-45 seconds
    Tap Settings, then tap Wi-Fi on the iPad
    Tap the AirPort Express under the heading of Set up an AirPort Base Station
    AirPort Utility will take a moment to to analyze the connection and then you can proceed with the easy guided setup
    Once the AirPort Express is configured, you should not have to set it up again at the next hotel. But, you could if you want to.

  • Using the AirPort Express to Join an existing Wireless Network

    Hello,
    I am hoping you can provide me with some help on this... I recelty acquired a PowerMac G4 with a 450 MHz processor, CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, Zip Drive, 1 GB RAM, and two 40 GB HD... The system has OS 10.4 installed, and it is has built-in Ethernet...
    I was told I could use the Airport Express to connect to an existing wireless network, so I purchased an Airport Express base Station... Thing is, to e honest, I am having a bit of a problem getting started...
    - First, to connect from the AirPort Express to my G4, do I need a special kind of Ethernet cable, or will the usual kind do?
    - Second do I need to istall the software first, or have the Airport express connected to the G4 before I do?
    How would I go about setting this up, step-by-step?
    Any information would be appreciated...
    Thanks for your time...

    OK, thanks. Hopefully, the Netgear is creating a wireless network using WPA/WPA2 security. That will make it much easier for the AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network. It can join networks with using WEP security, but password issues almost always arise using WEP.
    Since you must enter the exact security settings and password for the wireless network, it would help tremendously to know this in advance. Otherwise, it's going to be a series of "trial and errors" and likely frustration, later on.
    When you have a moment, check the security settings on the Netgear router.
    It might be one of the following: WPA2 Personal, WPA/WPA2 Personal, WEP 128, WEP 40.

  • Is it possible to access my DVR from the Internet using an Airport Express and Airport Extreme?

    I would like to use my Airport Express to connect to my DVR and use it to access the Internet by setting it up to wireless extend my Airport Extreme network?
    This would allow me great flexibility to place the DVR wherever I wanted.  I would create a static IP address for the DVR but would I also have to create one for the Airport Express as well?  What would I put as my Gateway address?  Would it be the IP address of the Airport Extreme or the Airport Express?
    Looking forward to the advice to see if this is possible...

    It may not be compatible with the iPad. See below for reference.
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;

  • Using an Airport Express to extend a Verizon wireless DSL router? (Westell)

    We recently switched our internet service over to Verizon DSL. The router they gave us is a wireless router. We have the Verizon network setup for both our computers to access it, but I wanted to use our Airport Express to connect our printer wirelessly and to extend the network. However, I can not get the Airport Express to join the Verizon network. Can anyone help with this? All I am getting is the blinking amber light on the Airport Express. I know the Verizon Westell router has its own WEP settings, which I have tried to give to the airport express, but it does not seem to be working. Very confused!!

    Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...so it very unlikely that your Westell router can be extended wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
    The few non-AirPort brands that are known to work are:
    o Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
    o Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
    o BT Voyager 2091
    o Netgear WGR614 v6
    o Buffalo WGR-G54

  • I stay in hotels alot and use my Airport Express to hard wire into hotel network. But hotels seem to have a sensor that will not allow any other device like my I-phone, I-pad to connect. Just one device and that's it.  Is there a setting to cure this?

    I stay in hotels often and use my Airport Express to hardwire into the hotel's network.  This seems to work fine and allows my Macbook Pro to work wirelessly.
    The problem is I cannot then hook up my Iphone or Ipad to the network.  It seems the hotels have a sensor and only allow one device on their network at a time.  Is there a setting in the setup of my Airport Express that might fix this problem?

    If you have the AirPort Express setup in Bridge Mode, try changing the Connection Sharing setting to "Share a public IP address"
    AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
    Update
    You will probably get a message about a Double NAT error. Click to "ignore"
    This setting might allow mutliple devices to connect and may not. It's worth a try...I have about a 60-70% success rate at hotels with this setting.
    Unfortunately, as you note....hotels have become a lot smarter about connections to their network. At some point, they probably will not even allow another router to connect at all.

  • I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad is looking for an airprint printer.  Can I direct the iPad to the usb connected printer.  Both macbook and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport exp.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.
    PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store
