Using Older Airport Express as an wireless/ethernet bridge

Hi there,
I noticed that people are using their Airport Express (n) products to create a bridge to wireless networks via the ethernet port on the Express.
Is this possible for older non-N Airport Expresses?
I read online that one could set up a WDS network, but I am having -no- luck doing that. Each time I try, I am prompted to enter other nodes on the WDS network, but there's a chicken and egg problem since the first node I am trying to set up keeps requiring other nodes before applying the changes to the configuration it is very frustrating.
I have an Airport Extreme (b/g) and two airport expresses (b/g) and would very very much like to connect an ethernet-run skype phone to one of the expresses. I currently use one as an AirTunes node, and the other (the one I want to use for the skype ophone) as a wireless printer node. Is it possible to use the latter as an ethernet bridge? Can I do that without setting up a WDS network? If I have to have a WDS network, what are the step by step instructions I should follow to do that for all the hardware listed above?
This seems a lot harder than it should be.

It is only possible with the older Express if you also have an Apple main router and setup all the devices in a WDS arrangement. If you are having difficulty setting up the WDS on your network, reference pages 42-44 in the Designing AirPort Networks Guide for a step by step procedure of this. Or, perhaps you might want to use one of the excellent posts by Tesserax for this as well. See this post.

  • Using the Airport express as a wireless network adapter

    I have a mac with no wireless network card but I have an extra Airport express. I would like to plug the mac into teh ethernet port of the AE and then use it to get onto my homes wireless network...
    Is this possible? I have been trying to do this for hours and I cannot get a config that works. I can use it to setup a wirless printer just fine, why not my computer?
    Please help!!

    I'm having the same networking problem. Out of curiosity, though, how would you plug the mac into the ethernet port of AE? Wouldn't you have to plug the modem into the ethernet port? My Airport Express only has one ethernet port. Just curious how you would get internet to your AE without plugging the modem to it.
    I went out and bought a LinkSys switch, trying to alleviate my problem of having to switch between being able to use my Mac Pro desktop (wired, due to no wireless card yet) and being able to use my laptops, PS3, etc. wirelessly by switching the ethernet cable constantly from the Mac Pro to the Airport Express. So, I bought the switch, but I can't get my network configured to where I can run everything at the same time. I'm still having to switch cables around. Any suggestions? Or do I just have to bite the bullet and have the wireless card installed?

  • Can I disable my Verizon Fios Router Wireless radio, connect it to a switch and use my airport express as my wireless access point connected to an in wall ethernet port?

    Here's the deal.  I have a Verizon Fios MI424WR router.  My house has CAT5 throughout the house.  The media panel is located in the garage.  I want to take the Verizon Fios Router and cannot it in the media panel so I can connect a switch to it, that way, all my CAT5 can fire throughout the house. Verizon being Verizon decided to connect the router directly in the office. 
    Can I go this route (Router in media panel, switch cross connect to it) and use Airport Express, connected to one of the in-wall CAT5 ports in my house and then set it up as my wireless access point to provide wifi to my portable devices (iPad, iPhone, Macbook)?  Is this possible? Will Airport Express comminicate with my verizon router via ethernet in-wall? Do I have to turn off the wireless radio in the Verizon router?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    That is right, by hard wired I was just making clear wired vs wireless attachment.  AirPort family of devices will only act in a repeater mode with their own family members, not FiOS routers.  they have to be wired to work.
    There are some useful docs you can download from Apple, Support, Manuals, Peripherals, AirPort (just follow thos links from the Support button on the top bar):
    Apple AirPort Networks

    The last has a diagram of what you are trying to do, though without the house wiring, etc., but the basic principle.

  • Using wired Airport Express to extend wireless network

    Hello,
    I am considering getting an Airport Express to extend my wireless network in a part of my house where it's really weak.  The room I want to use it in actually has an Ethernet network drop and it is connected to my Airport Extreme on the other side of the house. 
    I've looked at the manual, and the only example it gives for extending a network is wireless.  Since the network is very weak where I want to use it, I was wondering whether I could use the Ethernet port for the incoming signal.  Is that possible?
    I have an older AX (the b/g model) that I use in a similar way: it's on an ethernet port, but it broadcasts its own, different (slower, since it's the older model), wi-signal.  So I didn't want to do that: I'd like the new unit to be practically transparent and broadcast the same wi-fi as the main signal.
    Has anyone else had a similar experience and if so, could you let me know if this is possible?
    Thanks!

    I was wondering whether I could use the Ethernet port for the incoming signal.  Is that possible?
    Yes
    I'd like the new unit to be practically transparent and broadcast the same wi-fi as the main signal.
    Configure the new AirPort Express as follows using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab located below the row of icons to assign a name to the Express, a device password and adjust Time Zone settings
    Click the Wireless tab and configure as follows:
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your AirPort Extreme network
    Radio Mode = 802.11n (802.11b/g comatible) is a good general choice
    Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = Exact same setting as the AirPort Extreme network
    Wireless Passwrod = Same password as the AirPort Extreme network
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon
    Click the Internet Connect tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update to save settings and allow the Express to restart
    Very important...power down the entire network...all devices....order is not important
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first and let it run for a few moments by itself
    Start the AirPort Exreme the same way
    Start the AirPort Express the same way
    Start other devices one at a time about a minute apart
    You now have what is known as a "roaming" network. Computers will automatically log on to the router with the strongest signal as they "roam" around the house.

  • I want to use the Airport express to have wireless music through a home amp and speakers.

    My problem is that I have a wireless router (from Telstra - Australia) on one end of the living room and then the stereo amp at the other. It is my understanding that the only way to connect everything is to have the wireless router plugged into the airport express and then the amp connected to the airport express my the rca cable. Is there another way as I do not want a rca cable running the length of my living room.
    What i am trying to say is can the wireless router (from Telstra - Australia) talk to the airport therefore meaning I can have the airport sitting behind the stereo out of sight with no massive cables in my living room?
    Help please..

    Yes, simply have the Express "join" your existing wireless network in client mode.

  • How do I use my Airport Express as my router's bridge to the Internet?

    Howdy!
    My apartment building recently got wifi.  I want to set up my own wifi network in my apartment so I can connect my MacBook Pro, a wireless printer, and another wifi enabled computer.  I want to be able to print wirelessly, and get on the Internet via the building's wifi, at the same time.  I have an Airport Express (802.11n, 2008 version) and a Rosewill wireless router with 1 WAN port and 4 LAN ports.
    I figure there's got to be a way to have the Airport Express in bridge mode, connected to the building's wifi, with an ethernet cable connected to the Rosewill router, which in turn would be the AP for my computers and printer.  Basically this is like a regular Internet-enabled home network, except that instead of the router being connected to a modem to get the Internet connection, it's connected to the Airport-Express-in-bridge-mode (at least I assume that's the mode it should be in for this purpose).
    I have searched the web, found some pretty technical explanations, and tried them, but I must be missing something because the Internet connection isn't working.
    My building's wifi provider does support wireless gaming adapters (which I'm pretty sure are just bridges), and I've given them the Express's MAC address for this purpose.  The Airport Express shows a green light when set up to join the building wifi network.
    Thanks in advance!

    I figure there's got to be a way to have the Airport Express in bridge mode, connected to the building's wifi, with an ethernet cable connected to the Rosewill router, which in turn would be the AP for my computers and printer.
    The way to do this would be to configure the Express to "Join a wireless network" and check the option to Enable Ethernet Clients to activate the Ethernet port.
    If you fail to enable the Ethernet port, then there will be no signal at the port...and no Internet connection.
    Enter the name of the wireless network that you want to join.
    The real trick will be to match up the security settings on the Express with the building's WiFi security. Unless the settings match exactly, the Express will not "join" the network....and you will not have an Internet connection. Then enter the password for the wireless network and Verify it again.
    Click Update to save the settings.
    As I type this, I am connected to the hotel's wireless network with my AirPort Express and have it providing an Ethernet signal to my "new" AirPort Express to deliver a dual band wireless network for the room for multiple wireless devices.
    The hotel wireless has somewhat limited bandwidth, (as may your building connection) so a big download from the Internet will be slow. For regular browsing, email, things work just fine.

  • HT4259 Is it still possible to configure an AirPort Extreme as a Wireless/Ethernet bridge?

    Hi,
       I have a 4th generation 3TB Time Capsule as my primary wireless device.  I have tried configuring my 4th gen AirPort Extreme as a bridge (passive wireless to Ethernet bridge, not active wireless router) and despite two firmware resets, am unable to do so with either Airport Utility 6.1 or 5.6.1.  I am using a retina MacBook Pro with 10.8.2 to run the Airport Utility.  I know this used to work with earlier versions of the AirPort Extreme firmware (currently 7.6.1 for both devices) and earlier versions of the Airport Utility, because I have done it before and it has worked fine, although I haven't tried this for more than 3 years.  Is it still possible to do this, or am I missing something?

    If you are correct about not being able to configure the Extreme as a bridge then I guess I'm stuck with running the Extreme in extend mode.
    We only answer questions when we've tested it ourselves.  But, you can prove to yourself that the AirPort Extreme cannot act as a simple wireless to Ethernet bridge by trying to configure it to "join" a wireless network. You will see that the Ethernet ports are not enabled in this type of setup.
    Configuring the AirPort Extreme to "extend" a wireless network will enable the Ethernet ports. I'm sure that you understand that although the Extreme has Gigabit Ethernet ports, the "Ethernet" signal that appears at the LAN ports will only be as fast as the wireless connection to the AirPort Extreme allows.
    Perhaps surprisingly, the best that Cisco has to offer in terms of a wireless to Ethernet bridge is an 802.11b/g device with 100 Mbps Ethernet ports. Netgear does a bit better at least offering 802.11n capability, but still 100 Mbps ports.
    The AirPort adapter or a USB wireless adapter might be the simplest way to go if you are concerned about adding an additional wireless access point. Good luck.

  • Using an Airport express base station as a bridge

    Hello,
    Sorry if the question has already been asked, but I'm getting nuts...
    I have today a XP PC connected to the internet over WiFi (modem + router).
    The problem is that router & PC are far one from the other in my house, and I bought this AirPort Express to extend the range of the existing network.
    Could someone explain to me how to access to the configuration menu of the Airport to "tell him" that I want to use it as a bridge ?
    I think I've done what's requested, but cannot access to any menu (although my PC is connected to the airport WLAN network).
    Thanks in advance

    Unless your current router is an AirPort, you will find few non-AirPort routers that will work in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). If your primary base station is an AirPort (Extreme or Express), let me know, and I will provide WDS setup instructions.
    You would access the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) setup using either the AirPort Setup Assistant or the AirPort Admin Utility. Both of these come, either on the CD supplied with the AX, or can be downloaded directly from Apple. There is also a Windows version of the AirPort software at the Apple site.

  • Using older airport express.

    Researching here I have seen different answer on the subject of using APE/g with time capsul and 3 other APE/n models.
    The APE are used to stream music in my home.
    Will the one old APE/g model affect the network speed?
    Thx

    No, not enough that anyone would notice.
    Are you having any specific problems?
    If not, I woudn't worry about it....

  • 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.

  • Using the Aiport Express as a Wireless Access Point on Windows XP

    I would like to use my airport express as a wireless access point so that it will connect wirelessly to my router and via an Ethernet cable to my laptop that does not have a wireless card. Also, I have a laptop that I don't have admin rights to, so I can't install the airport express software. I do have another computer in which I am able to set things up on, but ultimately I would like to use the Ethernet port on the airport express as a DHCP device that once configured it will automatically connect to my laptop even after powering off and on any machine with DHCP. I believe that this can be done - but correct me if I am wrong.
    So far, I have been able to get the airport express to connect to my router, but I can't seem to get the intenet connection on my laptop. Can someone help? Does the software have to be installed to work even after it is configured?
    Thanks!

    I have successfully gotten my AX to connect to my wireless router via the wireless client mode, but I can't seem to get the network connection to come out the either net jack of the AX.
    Unfortunately, the wireless client mode will not activate the Ethernet port. The purpose of this mode is to connect to an existing wireless network as a client (just like any other device connecting to the network) and be able to either/or stream iTunes or share a USB printer.
    The only mode where the Ethernet port is enabled, would be to configure the AX as either a relay or remote base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). But, unfortunately, your Belkin wireless router may not be WDS-compatible with the AirPorts.
    Again, the only Belkin routers, that I'm aware of that are compatible are the F5D7230-4 & F5D7130.

  • Airport Express as a Wireless Bridge and AirTunes?

    I have a linksys router and just got a Tivo I was thinking of getting the Tivo wireless adapter but after much though i had a brainstorm
    What if i were go get an express and hook it up as a wireless bridge (connect the Tivo to the ethernet port) and while i am at it connect my computer to my stereo system via AirTunes.
    Is it possible to use the Airport Express as a wireless bridge and use airtunes at the same time while using my linksys router?

    To do this, you must use WDS. Very, very, very few 3rd party devices are compatible with Apple's WDS.
    The Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not latest versions v5) however are compatible with Apple's WDS. If you have one of those, it is possible.

  • Airport Express questions on wireless print serving

    I have a wireless network setup using a linksys router and thinking about using an Airport Express as a wireless print server in another room. I currently have a Canon MP500, 2 wired PCs connected to the router and 2 wireless laptops one Windows and an iBook.

    Hi, does anyone know how to change the port setting on Windows XP Pro. I recently purchased an Airport extreme and the network is working great, however when I tried to set up the printer the documentation left some key peices of information out.
    I had followed the step for installing a printer, but when I got to the point about specifing the adapter type, the documentation in the manual that came with the Airport skipped over that part. I guessed at the adapter and unfortunatly (and obviously after reading the instructions here http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1008.html) I chose the wrong adapter. Now I want to go back and fix it but I can't figure out how. When I tried to run the add printer wizard again and the port setting wizard it said the port (IP_10.0.1.1) was alread in use and kicked me out of the wizard.
    How do I change the settings on the port to the correct settings?
    Thanks

    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.

  • 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.
