Using "bridge" on Airport Express N between two bornes.

Hi,
I have two Airport Extreme N base station, one is dedicated to be used with b & g cards and the other one with dedicated be used with "n" only compatible Mac.
The link between the two Airport id done with an ethernet cable, The first Airport Express N is connected to the Wan, the second is setup as "bridge" ( speed @ 100 full).
I didn't use WSD in fact this option slowdown all the newtwork to b/g.
Everything works fine. I'm concerne about speed. If you look at the "info pane" in the "Network Utility" (located in the "Uilities folder"), you can get several information on you Airport card (usually in choosing (en1).
On a iMac 24'' equiped with an Airport card "N", Informations from "network Utility" shows that the speed is "54 Mbit", The Airport Express as been setup to support only the "n" norme, To enforce that I did choose the 5 GHz Chanel...
Q- Should I get a better speed ? or the information shows in th" info pane" is not accurate ?
Q- How to be sure what speed do we have ?
Thanks

Thanks...one last question. I have an aiport express (extreme is in the study), and I was wondering if I could hook up a wired router to it?
The background is that I want to hook up my TV and another wireless device to the internet. My APE is hooked up to my media PC, but need to get internet to other devices.
Should I just get 2 wireless bridges or can I simply by a wired router for the APE?

  • Can I use a second Airport Express unit to printe wirelessly?

    I have an Airport Express unit connected to my amplifier and my modem in order to listen to music wirelessly.  I would like to use my Cannon ip4300 printer the same way.  Can I use a second Airport Express unit to connect the printer to my modem?  If so, how is it done?  I am concerned about a conflict between the two Airport Express units.  Thank you.

    I do just this with a ip4200 printer - you "extend" the Airport network with the second Airport then plug the printer into the USB port, (you could plug it into the USB port of the first Airport as well)
    In the Airport utility (use 5.6 or 5.6.1) select the Printers tab and it should be there.

  • Help?  I keep getting "Unexpected Error" everytime I try to use my new Airport Express to extend my network from my 500GB Time Capsule.

    I am trying to extend my network from my 500GB Time Capsule using the new Airport Express I just bought, but no matter what I try I keep getting "Unexpected Error.  Try again".  The Express is still flashing Amber.  I cannot get it to turn green.  What am I doing wrong here?  Please help me.

    Locate the AirPort Express in the same room as the Time Capsule for the setup.
    Power off and restart the Time Capsule
    Shut down and restart the Mac. Turn on the wireless on the Mac and temporarily disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the AirPort Express. In other words, you want to set up the AirPort Express using wireless, since that is the way that it will be used.
    Hold in the reset button on the AirPort Express for 9-10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Express to restart.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click directly on AirPort Express.
    AirPort Setup will open up and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Express will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use and click Next
    Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures everything, and hopefully announces a message of Setup Complete. Click Done.
    Now move the AirPort Express to a location that is about half way between the Time Capsule and the area that needs more wireless coverage. Avoid obstructions in the signal path between the Time Capsule and AirPort Express as much as possible. 
    Walls, ceilings, mirrors, heavy furniture, etc. just kill the wireless signal quality. Keep any cordless phones as far away from either router as possible.
    It would be much better if you could plan to connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable, as best case.....you will be losing about half of the network speed trying to use wireless to extend.

  • Using my Actiontec modem's wifi, it doesn't find my new airport express.  When I use the new airport express network I created error message says ip address is wrong.  Help setting this new airport express up

    Using my Actiontec modem's wifi, it doesn't find my new airport express.  Using the new airport express network I just set up it says the ip address is invalid.  What can I do to overcome this blinking amber light and error messages?

    You need to begin by configuring the AEX to Join an existing network (Bridge Mode.) You can then connect to it using Wi-Fi, but the AEX will not extend your existing network.
    If you can connect the AEX to your existing router using Ethernet, then you could use it to Create a new network. Otherwise, if you want to extend your existing network you will need to get a Wireless Access Point - WAP - from a non-Apple product like D-Link.

  • Airport Card for G3 to use on current Airport Express Network

    I have a G4 PowerBook, a gray G4, and most recently a hand-me-down blue (green?) G3. I have an Airport Express that the two G4s use for wireless internet. I'd like to add an airport extreme OR old airport card to the G3 to include it in our home network wirelessly as well. Can this be done? What, exactly, do I need?

    Hello Owen,
    Yes, but the Antenna is built-in. Alternative if it doesn't have an Airport card right now...
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP2802GU2/
    It's possible to run as high as 10.5.8 on it.
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)

  • Can an airport extreme be used as an airport express?

    Can an airport extreme be used as an airport express?

    With the newer extreme, I was looking for better coverage
    In theory, you might expect better performance. Apple added two additional antennas and moved them up to the top of the "tower" in the "new" Extreme.
    But my "new" Extreme really performs about the same as the previous version Extreme. It might be a bit better range wise, but nothing significant here. If you are looking for really noticeable improvement, you will likely be disappointed.
    just want to know if the old extreme can funciton as an express to extend the signal to another part of the house
    Yes, it can, but in order to do this effectively, it must be located where it can receive a strong signal to be able to extend it. In this regard, the device can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives.
    You lose a portion of the network speed with each device that you use to extend wirelessly, so adding another device to extend wirelessly may not help at all.  It would be much better if you could connect the "new" Extreme and "old" Extreme together using a wired Ethernet cable.....since there is no signal loss that way.

  • HT4259 Q: Can I use an older Airport Express-g router (not -n) to extend my Airport Extreme-n wireless network? If Yes, are the instructions the same as for adding an Airport Express-n router?

    Q: Can I use my older Airport Express-g router (not -n) to extend my Airport Extreme-n wireless network? If Yes, Are the instructions the same as for adding an Airport Express-n router?

    If you want to extend, using wireless only, the 802.11g Express doesn't support this.
    However, if you want to use bridge mode over Ethernet or Powerline adapters then this is supported.

  • Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines

    I have use of so many cloud services including the 20gb that Adobe gives me.  Is there a way i can sync my catalog on the cloud so that i can have all my metadata on both my laptop and desk top?  I also have 300gb of cloud storage though Copy.  I would just like some recomendations on how best to go about it. Thanks

    Hi Pat,
    Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines
    If you’re running Lightroom on a laptop during your location shoots, you might want to take all the edits, keywords, metadata, and of course the photos themselves, and add them to the Lightroom catalog on your studio computer. It’s easier than it sounds: basically, you choose which catalog to export from your laptop, then you take the folder it creates over to your studio computer and import it.
    You need to decide whether you want to export a folder (all the imported photos from your shoot), or a collection (just your Picks from the shoot). In this case, we’ll go with a collection, so go to the Collections panel and click on the collection you want to merge with your main catalog back in your studio. (If you had chosen a folder, the only difference would be you’d go to the Folders panel and click on the folder from that shoot instead. Either way, all the metadata you added, and any edits you made in Lightroom, will still be transferred over to the other machine.)

    Thanks!

  • Can I use a 2nd Airport Express to bring internet to a wired-only desktop?

    Hi.
    I have an Airport Express that's working flawlessly as a wireless router via a cable modem. Problem is, I have a second computer ( a desktop PC) that's too far away from the cable modem to hook it up via the ethernet. Is it possible to use a second Airport Express to extend the wireless network and thereby connect to my desktop with the ethernet cord? I guess this would be kind of using the AE backwards. If this is possible, could you please tell me how I might do it?
    Thanks so much!

    Here are the basic steps in setting up a WDS:
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs (not the Ethernet ID) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.
    I suggest that you also perform a "factory default" reset on each of your AXs to get them to their original "out-of-the-box" configuration.
    Finally, for this WDS, AX#1 (the AX connected to the Internet modem) will be the main base station, and AX#2 will be the remote base station.)
    Main Base Station Setup - AX#1
    o On your MacBook Pro (MBP) click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by AX#1.
    o Open AirPort Utility (located in the /Applications/Utilities folder).
    o Select AX#1, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then, choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS, and then, choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox.
    o Click the Add "+" button, and then, enter the AirPort ID of AX#2.
    o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
    Remote Base Station Setup - AX#2
    o On the MBP click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar, and then, choose the wireless network created by AX#2.
    o Open AirPort Utility if not already running.
    o Select AX#2, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS, and then, choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of AX#1.
    o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

  • Can we use ALE to send purchase requisition between two systems?

    Dear Gurus,
    Can we use ALE to send Purchase Requisition between two R/3 systems?
    Source system is A. Target system is B. Target system B is the customer of A.
    When A wants Material, it will check the availability.
    If available, it will create Reservation.
    If not available, it will create PR and send it to Target system B. Since B is a customer of A, B will, in turn, create PO and send it to its Vendors.
    We plan to use ALE/IDoc. I tried to find out the message type for PR. But it's not available.
    Can anyone suggest me how to do that?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Neeraj K.

    Hello,
    The technical answer is yes. You could use the message PREQCR / PREQCR01 or PREQCR02 for your requirement of transferring Purchase Request via ALE. Since I am not a process expert, it would not be possible for me to comment on your process needs.
    Please let me know if you have further technical queries.
    Hope this helps,
    Best Regards, Murugesh AS

  • I am trying to link our xbox and PC into our wireless network.  I am using an apple airport express and it is asking me for a WEP Key.  Where can I find my wep key?

    I am tyrying to link our xbox and PC int oour wireless network.  I am using an apple airport express and it is asking for my WEP Key.  Where do I find it?

    You should be able to setup WPA / WPA2 access, rather than WEP - which is old an less secure. (Unless your devices are too old for WPA??)
    Try this link: http://spotlight.getnetwise.org/wireless/wifitips/apple/apple-wpa.php
    **Edit
    Airport does support the WEP protocol.

  • Will the use of an Airport Express widen the range of my existing wifi?

    Will the use of an Airport Express widen the range of my existing wifi?

    Yes, but only if your existing WiFi is being produced by another Apple wireless router.
    The AirPort Express is almost certainly not compatible if you are planning to connect using wireless only with another brand of wireless router.

  • Can I use a second Airport Express on the 1st floor to boost the signal from the 2nd floor Airport Express?

    We have a wiFi network with on Airport Express on the upper floor. Watching NetFlix via AppleTV on the television downstairs is annoying since it stops to buffer the video every few minutes (NetFlix works smoothly upstairs, closer to the Airport Express). Can I use a 2nd Airport Express downstairs to boost the signal? If so, how do I configure it?

    Yes, you can use a second 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to extend the range of the first one.
    Here are the basic steps to do so:
    Dynamic WDS - Extending a Wireless Network Setup
    If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    Open AirPort Utility, and then, select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless.
    Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    Enter the base station network and base station password if necessary.
    Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.
