Using Bittorent on my WinXP computer loses connection with Airport Express

I read somewhere on this forum that this issue is an "extemely annoying problem." I will second that notion - especially because I have yet to find a remedy for it. I am trying to use Azureus (BitTorrent Client) on my WinXP HTPC and I keep getting disconnected from the network. I am using a Linksys Wireless-G USB network adaptor on my PC. Sometimes the connection on my PC won't even reconnect unless I unplug everything. I have patched the TCP/IP limited transfers to 50 connections, so I don't think that's the problem. Has anyone else encountered this issue? And if so, what was your remedy? I haven't touched any AirPort Express settings yet due to the fact that I don't exactly know what I should change.

same problem here.
MBA (latest os), even my ip5 (latest ios) & ipm (also latest ios) looses the connecntion.
Ive tried to figure out what causes the problem - neither my xbox360 nor (and i guessed they will be the problem) the pcs here...
the connecntion runs well.. switching also (MBA-IP5-IPM).. but not for longer than an hour.. or even minutes. When the connection looses a high-frequency noise is followed by silence. A restart fix that problem and all devices streaming well... but not for long...
any suggestions?

I have an Airport Express connected via optical toslink to a dac/amp in turn connected to speakers. When using iTunes I get message "no speakers connected to Airport Express" and audio sound has drop outs.

Ok, if you are connecting the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to the existing wireless network, then the DSL in the next room is most likely a combination DSL modem and wireless router. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
Although they may only be separated by a single wall, the building material used in that wall may be enough to prevent the AX from receving a "good" signal from the DSL router.
Since I don't know what computing equipment you have available, please check out this AirPort User Tip: AirPort - Optimal Base Station Placement to see if you can get some SNR measurements at the location of your AX. To do this properly, you will want to power-off the AX and only get these measurements for the DSL router.

Can I create a home network withous dsl connection with airport express

can I create a home network without dsl connection with airport express?
So it means I can't connect to my HP Airprint/Wireless printer without exretnal connection through ISP?? Just need to print from my Mac and iphone. I have Vodafone Prepaid connection, which is directly connected to my Mac. Does that make an internal network possible?

You have to set up the Air Port with an internet connection to set up a network. Do you have a modem? If yes you can set up the network.

IMac losing wiffi connection with airport express when sleeping. I can't wake the iMac with the remote app on the iPhone. What is wrong?

iMac losing wiffi connection with airport express when sleeping. I can't wake the iMac with the remote app on the iPhone. when i open airportconfiguration on the iphone is see that the imac isn't connected anymore. Normaly the airport express wake up the iMac but it doens't. What is wrong?

anyone knows a reason for the item above?

My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have our iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices no problem. Any thoughts on this?

.....doesn't that seems to suggest the modem?
That is what I have suggested....twice now. From posts above:
My opinion would be that it is likely not the ISP, unless you have complete loss of Internet service for all devices at the same time......it is the Comtrend device....
and
I believe that the problem lies with the modem, and not the ISP signal.
Your ISP will likely have a different opinion, though. Please keep us posted on your progress.

How do i use my time capsule and extend the network with airport express

I have a new iMac and Time Capsule, how do i extend the network with airport express. My time capsule does have a guest net work, and logins and passwords? I am no computer person. So for me it would have to be spelled out.

Use the search as this has been done to death ..
Bob Timmons is the expert on this.. look at his answers here.

This has been automated in the v6 utility. I am used to doing it manually in v5 utility which is also fairly easy.
Apple doco is also good to read.

Note.
You cannot extend the guest network unless everything is up to date 7.6.3 firmware. And that is only with the TC as the main router in the network.
All apple routers can be configured as the main wireless or as the extend wireless.. so don't worry if a post uses express or extreme or TC.. they are for wireless, the same thing.

How make wireless connection with airport express to Yamaha Clavinova CVP-403 ?

I would like to wirelessly connect my Yamaha Clavinova CVP-403. I would like to use a D-link DWA 125 and my airport express. Does anyone has any experience on how to do that?

Hi Henry - you seem to be a very helpful and knowledgeable person and I am wanting to dive in to the depths of wireless working at home and could probably do with your advice. I certainly dont have as much knowledge as Jaybee and if hes had problems I am feeling a little apprehensive.
I know that the first thing I need to do is get an ethernet modem to use with Airport Express as I currently only have a USB modem. I was wondering if you have any recommendations or if I should go straight for the Netgear DSL modem/router (DG834B) that Jaybee ended up with. Although the bit about disabling the Airport Express resp. Extreme routers scares me rigid
I have looked at About this Mac and got the following for you hope its helpful.
OSX 10.3.9
1.33 HGz PowerPC G4 processor
Airport Extreme: Worldwide
Firmware: 400.17(3.90.34.0.p11)
Airport admin utility: 4.2 (v420.31)
My ISP is also Tiscali (UK) - they have said they can only provide modem support on the USB modem they provide so once I switch to an ethernet modem Ill be on my own. I have checked the Tiscali website and found the following modems, so I would assume (probably unwisely) that they would be compatible with my account...
Zoom X6 5590 DSL Modem (55907200)
D-Link DSL-300T
Zoom Hayes ADSL Ethernet (H0-15805) (081580572)
Any help is very gratefully received.

Trekstor pocketair wifi storage connecting with airport express

Hey there!
Is is possible connecting a Trekstor wifi Storage with airport express? I wanna use Itunes and this storage for streaming music with mit mac pro book (OS X 10.9.3)
Or is it nessaray to use a apple wifi storage like airport extreme?
Thanks!
Best regards

Is is possible connecting a Trekstor wifi Storage with airport express?
In theory, the Trekstor should be able to connect to an existing network either via a wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) connection. The AirPort Express, depending on the model, can supply both.
On the other hand, the Express DOES NOT support hard drives connected to its USB port; whereas, the Extreme and Time Capsule base stations do.

Hi Nodyland,
Try this:
Power Cycle your Airport Express. Just unplug the Airport Express from the power source wait 2 minutes and plug it back in.

Lose internet connection with airport express

I have a powerpc imac G5 and intel powerbook with built in airport and using an airport express for both. I've since moved in with my fiance and she has a PC. We can all connect to my airport express without any problems initially. Every once in a while though I'll lose my connection in all 3 computers. The green light on the express is lit at all times. If I unplug the express and replug and wait for it to reset, all is fine again... for a while... then some days later it'll go out again. Any ideas why this is happening.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hana, welcome to the discussions!
First thing to check is how much competition you have for the airways in your area.
Download iStumbler, www.istumbler.net to get a look at the other wireless networks that may be causing interference with your system.
Pay close attention to the channels that the other networks are occupying. Then using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup - Wireless Tab, change your channel to a setting that is as far away as possible from the other channels in use.
If you are in a dense area of apartments, etc., it may be quite difficult to find a clear channel. And, most modern routers allow the user to keep their network hidden, so you may not be able to even see some networks. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts here.
You might also try "interference robustness" under "Options" on the Wireless Tab in AirPort Utility - Manual Setup. There may be a slight speed penalty for using this setting, but if it prevents interruptions, that will be good compromise.
Post back on your progress.

Regularly lose connection with Airport Extreme

We have our computer network online using an airport extreme (about 4 years old), we also have an airport express that helps to extend our network. We have an issue with the airport regularly dropping our internet signal, basically it just goes offline for no apparent reason and due to the history I'm pretty sure it is the airport and not our cable modem.
To correct this problem I usually just unplug the airport and unplug the cable modem and this usually resolves the problem. I've had this problem in the past, and it got to the point where this no longer fixed the problem. I brought the airport to a mac genius bar and they reset it back to factory settings and that resolved the problem for about two months. Then the problem came back again, and the airport would drop our signal 5+ times a day. Someone suggested changing the channel on which the airport sends its signal. That seemed to help at first, some channels better than others, but again, each channel would lose the signal after a few days and we'd have to go on to resetting it. It's been working reasonably well on channel 8, but not it's gone back to dropping our signal at least once a day, if not 3-4 times a day.
As far as I know the airport is up to date on its firmware (v5.7), airport express v6.3. Any help you can give to correct this really annoying problem would be greatly appreciated.

Try using iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at different points around your house, by performing a simple RF site survey. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. This would be better done if you can use a laptop. Start with the laptop near the base station, note the readings, and then, choose the locations where you will typically use your computers to access the Internet.
SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
The SNR, as measured from the laptop, decreases as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
SNR Guideline
o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
If the SNR is 20dB+ at each of these locations, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your AirPort. If less, either try to locate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating either the base station or the wireless clients until they are within a 20dB SNR range.

PC laptop continuously loses connectivity with airport extreme

I use an airport extreme at home and an airport expresses to extend my network. I get perfect connectivity with my macbook pro but with my older Gateway laptop that uses XP, the connection comes and goes making it frustrating to be online with the PC. why is this happening on the PC and not the MacBook and what can I do to correct the problem?
Airport uses version 7.4.2, WPA/WPA2 Personal, 802.11n b/g compatible.

Recently had a similar problem connecting a friend's PC to my network and thought I would post my fix in order to hopefully help others.
I noticed that everything worked fine when I disabled wireless security, so my problem was a security issue.
I re-enabled security on my router and copied down the first actual HEX key (key 1) instead of just using the password. Then, on the laptop with a Netgear wireless card, instead of selecting to type a password, I opted to use a network key and pasted the actual key, and it worked like a charm.
Maybe it has something to do with aftermarket network cards, but it solved the "network did not assign a network address" problem.
Hope I've helped and not given a useless answer.

Canon PIXMA MX310 causes computers to lose connection to Airport Express

I just bought a Canon PIXMA MX310 printer and tried to connect it to my Airport Express so I can print from both my computers wirelessly. As soon as I connected the USB cable to the printer from the Express, both computers lost connection to Airport. I tried every solution I could think of, but the printer seems to not work this way, and the only way I can get my network connection back is to UNPLUG the printer from Airport. Is there a way to fix this?

Finally solved my problem on my own... After doing a LOT of trouble shooting, I somehow managed to get my wireless connection back between the computers and Airport Express (still don't know how I did it), but anyway... the printer is connected properly as instructed in the Airport instructions, and when I tried to print something, I discovered I needed to select the Bonjour popup menu and find my printer from that list in the printer window. Duh...

AT&T USBConnect 881aircard as internet connection with airport express

I have a usb air card(internet connection, almost same as a usb modem) I want to know can I use the usb connection an an Airport Express or Airport Extreme to connect my usb air card? So i can have more than one computer use the air card(internet connection) at a time.
Thanks

remisbowman, Welcome to the discussion area!
Neither the AirPort Express (AX) nor the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) support any type of USB modems, USB networking card, nor USB networking in general.
It won't work.
