Using AP express with D-Link DSL G624T

I've just bought an Ap express to play music wirelessly through my stereo. I set the thing up using set up assistant and it plays music no probs BUT i can't connect to the internet. It seems to be one or the other. Have a made some kind of stupid but common mistake or.....? Anyone had similar probs? HELP!!

tobiasppfunk, Welcome to the discussion area!
You need to configure your AirPort Express (AX) to jion the network provided by your D-Link base station. Use the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

  • Using Airport Express with an ATT DSL router

    July 10, 2012
    Hi All! The following thoughts are for
         1) those of you who use ATT DSL as your internet service-provider, and
         2) who wish to stream iTunes songs from your computer to speakers in other rooms via AIRPORT EXPRESSes, and
         3) are wondering whether you have to purchase a separate Apple Airport Extreme base-station, or can simply use your exisiting ATT router.
    Having just spent several days and many hours on the phone before Apple's tech "Dan" was finally able to get my system up and running, I thought some of you might appreciate my sharing the following info while it's still fresh in my mind.
    1. You may need to update your ATT router to the latest version, in order for it to properly communicate with your AIRPORT EXPRESS(es) (henceforth shortened to "AEs").  The AEs use 802.11n speed.  My original ATT router (a 2Wire 2701HG-B) was no faster than "-h,"  and this might have been part of the problem as to why my system wouldn't work.  I went to my local AT&T store, and got their latest router: as of this writing, a Netgear "Westell"  Model B90-755025-15, which can run at both the slower speeds as well as the faster "-n."  To find out some of the specs of my router, an Apple tech had me type in the 10 digits of my Gateway IP Address into the address-bar (no need for the "https://www") and "Presto!", up popped several pages of info on my router.
    2. When first setting up your AE, it needs to be back in "default mode."  If it's right out of the box, you don't need to do anything.  But if, like me, you've already made several attempts to get it running, then you need to reset it to its pre-configured state,  You do that by taking a bent paper-clip, and inserting one end into the little hole on the ports-side of your AE (near where the mini-plug of a speaker-cable is inserted). While the device is plugged in, gently press the paper-clip into the hole until the light on top blinks amber QUICKLY, the flashes coming in rapid succession.  Then remove the paper-clip, and the AE will glow solid amber--meaning it's waiting to be re-programmed.
    3. When first setting up your AE, do NOT attach an ETHERNET CABLE from the router.  The only cable that needs to be attached is the mini-plug cable running to some sort of portable, powered speaker.  For myself, to make things easier, I brought my AE and my new Sony RDP-M5iP speaker/dock into the same room as my Imac & router. That way, I'd know immediately if the AE was working correctly.
    4. After you've clicked on your Airport Utility App (hard drive TO Applications TO Utilities folder), you'll soon come to a page that asks you to name your AE (this page calls it a "base station").  Before you do that, you should see a button in the lower left-hand corner that says, "Other Options."  Click on it.  You'll then be given a choice of "Creating a New Network"  or "Choosing an Existing Network."  You want this 2nd choice--because you indeed are planning to use your ATT router's exisitng wireless network.
    5. Shortly, you'll come to the page asking you to name your AE.  Call it, for instance, "Family Room Speaker." As for password, at first I--as well as virtually all of the techs with whom I spoke--thought I should type in the multi-digit ATT router-password (called a "Wireless Network Key").  But finally, "Dan" told me to simply type in, "express1"  (or, for my 2nd AE, "express2").  That did the trick! 
    6. Your AE should now be glowing green on top.  Plus, on the 10x6" dark-grey rectangular box displaying the globe (i.e., your main internet connection), the globe should have a now-green glowing circle to its left.  And underneath, it should be displaying a rectangle named "Family Room Speaker" (or whatever name you've given your Airport Express).
    7. When you now open iTunes, you should see a little blue rectangle (with a triangle in its middle) in the lower right-hand corner of your iTunes box.  Click on it, and it should show listed both your computer-speaker as well as your AE speaker(s), plus a heading called "multiple speakers."  Click on "multiple,"  and it will bring up a box displaying all your now-current speakers.  Check the small square next to any speakers that are unchecked, and a volume-slider will appear.  Bring them all up to a comfortable level.  Then click on an iTunes track you'd like to play and, viola!, you should hear music playing both from your computer and from the portable speaker to which your AE is attached.
    8. Now close iTunes. Then unplug your Airport Express and--if you have a 2nd AE-- plug them both back into your power-strip. Go thru the set-up steps in your Airport Utility App for this 2nd AE.  At the end of it, both AEs should be glowing green on top, and both should be displayed on your computer-screen.
    Now re-open iTunes, and start a song playing.  (Don't forget to click on the blue rectangle at the R-hand bottom, and activate the new AE speaker.)  By inserting your speaker cable alternately into each of the AEs, you should be able to verify that, yes, both are now working.
    9. Unplug both AEs, and bring them to whatever room you want to use them in.  Plug them in to a wall outlet, and run your mini-cable from the AE to the speaker.  Give the AEs a few minutes to pick up the signal once again from your ATT router; when they do, their lights will change from amber back to green. Tech Dan warned me to keep them away from too much metal, to avoid interference. As soon as they turn green, you should now be hearing your iTunes track playing thruout your house! (If not, you may have to first close iTunes on your computer, then re-open it, and start a new track playing.)
    The BOTTOM LINE: no, you don't have to purchase a separate Apple Extreme to be your base-station.  Your ATT router--if it's running at the 802.11n standard--should be able to work with your Airport Express(es)!
    My thanks to Sean and Cameron and  Chris and, most especially, Dan, the Apple techs who patiently worked with me to get this system online. 

    I am GREATLY appreciative of this overview. Even though I don't understand a lot of it. I will keep working through. I am-- have for 2 years-- had terrible connectivity with AT&T's service & 2Wire router. My MacBookPro keeps dropping the signal. I'm talking every few clicks at times. Husband's PC drops it, too, but not nearly as much as the Mac. I'm sure what you posted can help us get better connectivity.

  • WRT110-EU with D-Link DSL-320T

    Hi, I have just bought a Linksys WRT110-EU router, to work with my D-Link DSL-320T ADSL modem. The computer works well with the DSL-320T, but I do not seem to be able to configure the WRT100 to work with it. I am using the EasyLink tool, and I cannot get it past the step of setting up the WAN interface. I guess I am missing something, probably in the configuration of the DSL-320T, but I cannot figure out what to do.

  • Airport Express with D-Link router?

    I bought an Airport Express with the specific purpose of connecting an old 1999 iMac to the internet (D-Link wireless router) via the ethernet port. I also thought I could use it to connect other ethernet devices such as my HD-DVD player.
    I tried to configure the Express with my PowerBook to discover later in the instructions that the ethernet port is disabled when configuring the unit as wireless bridge/client. It sounds odd, becuase I can't understand the use of it, then. The range extender configuration which enables ethernet, apparently only works with an Airport base station. I admit I'm not very networking-savvy. Did I do something wrong? Am I understanding the instructions correctly?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...so it very unlikely that your D-Link router can be extended wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
    The few that are known to work are:
    o another Airport Express Base Station
    o 802.11g Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS)
    o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
    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

  • Mac Mini with D-Link DSL-2640T

    I have a D-Link DSL-2640T and can't get it to connect to my Mac Mini.
    I can't switch it (I don't think I can at least) because this is the modem/router that my ISP gave me in order to use their service. If it matters, I am in Dominican Republic right now.
    The book for the router says the internal address is 192.168.1.1 and that the default username is admin, password 1234. All I am trying to do is access the router's settings so I can set up the wireless network, so that my Mini can connect to it.
    I even Bootcamp-ed Windows XP into my mini to be able to get online, since it seems the router is only windows compatible when wired.
    I tried to access the router settings on OS X 10.5 from Firefox and Safari, and then tried again from Windows XP, from Firefox and IE to no avail.
    When the box to log in comes up it won't take the default user and pass, and I have already reset the unit a few times (sticking a pointy thing in the little hole on the side).
    I don't know what else to do, and my boyfriend is not here He's teaching me well enough, but I'm still learning
    Any ideas on anything else I could try?
    Please and thank you :o)

    Actually, the book that came with the router doesn't say how to reset, but I did it by holding the reset button for 10 seconds while powered on.
    I just ran the Ethernet cable from the router to the Mini, and tried doing the hold for 10 seconds while on, then I tried the one you sent me, turning it off, holding reset, powering on, and still holding reset for 5 seconds more. Waited 30 seconds to access settings and it still won't accept any of the above combinations of username and password.
    I tried each reset twice, to make sure.
    One thing I haven't tried is looking into the install disk. I installed it on the XP side, but I didn't 'explore' it to see what was in it. Maybe I should do that, too, see if there is a hint anywhere there.
    Thanks for trying though, I appreciate it.

  • Using airport express with a 2wire router

    I just got Bellsouth DSL with a 2wire dsl modem that is also a wireless router.
    It works fine, but I still want to use my airport express to listen to music.
    I can't figure out how to do so, though I have tried various configurations
    with the airport setup utility. Anyone have any ideas? How can I use
    express with another wireless router?

    Let's double-check your AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings ...
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort > Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
    o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing 2wire's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Can I use logic express with my Macbook

    I just got a macbook and i was wondering if I can use Logic express or pro on it??

    yes!
    it of coourse depends what you want to do with it - but yes!
    by all acounts logic express and pro will run very well on the new macbooks.
    I'm using pro on my old powerbook - just about manage to use it live and it's slow but useable to get ideas down onto and am using an intel imac as my main studio computer with logic pro 7.2.3 - it's essentially the same as a macbook except it doesn't have integrated graphics and it has a faster hard disk which does make a difference. Apart from that i'm sure your new macbook would toast my powerbook in terms of performance.
    Be sure to get the intel version of logic (7.2 and above) as an older "ppc" version may run but is not supported and would probably run very slowly.
    Enjoy!

  • Can I use Airport Express with iPhone in my hotel room?

    Is there a way to set up an Airport Express in my hotel room when I travel, so that the provided High Speed internet cable in the room can be plugged into my Airport Express, giving me a wireless internet connection for the iPhone? I use Airport Express often this way with my MacBook, so I don't have to be tethered to the cable.

    I did this about a month ago when I was in England. I just had the Airport Express with me, and had not done any configurations. I plugged it in and had the iPhone find it. It worked in some hotels, and didn't at others. When it worked it was great. I assume with some of the hotels where it didn't work, that I needed to configure it but since I didn't have my laptop I didn't have any way to configure it. Is there any kind of "universal" or "automatic" configuration you can set it up with?

  • EA6900 PPPOE problems with D-link DSL-320b

    Hi 
    I really hope someone can help as I can't seem to find a working answer in the forum yet.
    I have a new D-Link DSL-320B modem/router. This works fine as a modem/router, however as I also now have a Linksys EA6900 router I wanted to stop the router part of the D-link so it would just be a modem. I assume this would be a good thing to do, but don't really know why.
    I followed instructions to configure the D-Link modem/router as a bridge:
    I set the Manual ASDL Connection Setup in Bridge mode '1483 Bridged IP LLC' (note I also tried in the 'Bridged IP VC-Mux' option at a later point), VPI 0 and VCI 38 (as per my ISP instructions), saved the settings and then under the LAN tab I disabled the DHCP Server, saved the settings and lost internet connection (which I expected).
    I then attached the D-Link into the WAN port of the EA6900, the computer via ethernet to one of the 4 ethernet ports on the EA6900 and manually set up the EA6900.
    Under 'Connectivity'-'Internet Settings' I set up the ipv4 to:
    Connection Type: PPPoE
    Username/Password (as provided by my ISP which had previously worked in the D-Link standalone)
    Service name (left blank)
    Connection mode: Keep Alive, redial 30 secs
    On the right hand side of the page, I set the MTU to manual and size to 1432 (again as per my ISP instructions on setting up routers).
    However, after pressing applying, whilst the device is connected to the router, the router is not connected to the internet.
    Am I missing something? Should I just leave my DSL D-Link with the ADSL connection and DHCP server enabled and put the EA6900 into Connection Type: automatic configuration -DHCP? as this does give me internet access.
    Please help.
    Many thanks in advance
    Hannah

    To isolate the issue I recommend connecting a computer directly to the modem. The create PPPoe connection to test whether or not the Modem is actually bridging as per your ISP instructions. Once you verify that the modem is bridging with your computer transfer those settings to the EA6900. Don't change the MTU from Auto initially. Only change the MTU if you notice you can get to some site and not others. That's typically a sign that there is an MTU issue. Actually for PPPoe the MTU is typically 1492.
    Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

  • Can I use Airport Express with a USB Hard disk as a NAS solution?

    What have people tried for NAS solutions that work really well wirelessly? Can I use my Airport Express with its USB port to attach a hard disk? Or do I need an Airport Extreme base station? Or some other solution?

    The price of the Time Capsule includes the NAS backup system plus a hardware router for your network.
    Macs do not support USB 3.0 and most likely won't because Apple's weight is behind Thunderbolt which is considerably faster and more versatile than USB.

  • How to use Aiprort Express with iMac DV

    Hello,
    I'd like to use an Airport Express with an old iMac DV SE 400mhz. It's running Tiger. All I need it to do is run Airtunes. And I need a solution that doesn't require me to scan eBay for an old airport card, because I need to try to make this happen in the next couple days. Any ideas?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Do you currently have an Ethernet network? If so, could the AirPort Express (AX) be connected to this Ethernet network? If so, there is no need to make your iMac DV wireless at all. It can stream music over Ethernet to the AX.
    router <-+-> iMac
    .........|-> AX
    If you do need to make your iMac DV wireless but don't want to get an AirPort card, you will want an Ethernet wireless adapter. Examples of Ethernet wireless adapters are the Linksys WET11, Linksys WET54G, and the Buffalo Technology WLI-TX4-G54HP bridge.

  • Using Airport Express with Internet Sharing in Leopard

    Howdy all,
    I have Internet Sharing enabled on my MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.4. I use a Sprint Sierra Wireless Aircard 597E modem to connect to the Internet.
    I'm trying to get my Airport Express & Time Machine to recognize my MacBook Pro, or the other way around. Basically, I want to be able to access the Airport Express to wirelessly play music through a pair of speakers and be able to access the Time Machine for backups & accessing files.
    With Internet Sharing enabled, my iPhone can access the web, so I believe I have the sharing set up correctly. However, I can't see the Time Machine and my Airport Express just keeps blinking amber.
    Does anyone know what I might need to do to resolve this issue?
    Any help is so very very much appreciated!

    Thanks Kappy,
    I'm not sure you're exactly following me on this one, though. Here's what I've discovered on my own for anyone else facing the same situation I am:
    1. You /cannot/ use Airport Express while using Leopard's Internet Sharing.
    2. If you want to create a local network, in this situation, you'll need to use Time Capsule to establish the initial local network, then join the Airport Express into that network. At that point you can use Time Machine with Time Capsule, access it as a hard drive and use AirTunes with the Airport Express.
    But you cannot use the Sprint AirCard (and I assume any other similar setup) and your Mac with Internet Sharing to build the local network and then join the other devices to it. Unfortunately.

  • Using Airport Express with a new (so far unopened) MacBook

    I'd like to use my MacBook without extraneous cables around the house and when I go away. I understand I need Airport Express (or is that Extreme to do this), but I would also like to change my ISP before I configure the new Macbook. Any thoughts, suggestions, advice to a total novice in these matters?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Your MacBook will work with either an Airport Express or Airport Extreme base station, and if you only have a MacBook than the Express would be a better choice of the two.
    Are you going to use cable or ADSL?
    Check out the following website.
    Reviews of equipment
    http://www.adslguide.org.uk/reviews/
    Comparisons of ISPs
    http://www.adslguide.org.uk/isps/compare.asp
    I would suggest going for a wires only deal and purchasing your own equipment.
    Do not get a USB modem unless you are going to only use it to keep a door open or similar...
    As most ADSL Modem Routers are setup through a web browser you should be fine with a Mac.
    Personally I use plusnet and Netgear ADSL Modems. One is a DG834G combined device and the other is a DM602 Modem Router connected to an AEBS.
    If you really want an Airport Express, I would also check out ADSL Nation's X-Modem M3 http://www.adslnation.com/products/xmodem-m3.php It is also now available from the UK Apple store and retail stores.
    http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore?productLearnMore=TJ151
    which can also be used in conjunction with an AEBS or AX.

  • Using Applicationo Express with MY SQL or SQL Server ?

    Hello,
    I am new to APEX. Please guide me can I use it with My SQL or SQL Server in any possible way. As shared hosting for both of these databases is easily available.
    Secondly I heard APEX support web services. Can I use dotnet webservices with it ?
    thanks
    haansi

    Shared hosting is ALSO available for APEX. The product RUNS inside an Oracle database, so unless you use the connectivity software to link an Oracle database to SQL Server or mysql, you can NOT use it with these products?
    Why exactly are you looking to do this? Is i the cost of hosting an APEX application? There are places charging $10-20 a month to host APEX applications, comparable to mysql/SQL Server sites..
    Thank you,
