What port do I connect my express to on the back of my modem?

I am trying to install my new Airport Express but I do not know what port to use on the back of my modem. Do I go WAN to WAN or do I have to pick one of the other ports?

It is confused.. that is due to the setup wizard picking the wrong options.. or something else has gone wrong.
Reset the express to factory and start over.
With your ethernet plugged into the left hand port.. next to the power socket. Make sure the ethernet light is turned on.. little tiny green light on the Express and the modem will also have indicator that the LAN port is connected.. just check it.
Run through the wizard again.. if it chooses the wrong setup simply go to doing it manually.. I have given full details of manual setup here.
Airtport Utility can't find Airport Time Capsule on either of my 2009 Macs
If the pictures do not display.. sorry but that is the new Apple. Click and download each one.. they are still there it is just apple has display problems.

  • HT4259 I am trying to connect airport express to extend the range of my airport tower. What type of cords do I need to connect the airport express to a hardwired outlet in the wall of a bedroom?

    I am trying to connect my airport express to extend the range of my network to a bedroom that is hard wired for internet. What type of cord/cords do I need to do that?

    You can connect the AirPort Express to the wall port in the bedroom for the setup.....but first....if you have not already done so.....it would be a great idea to make sure that the connection in the bedroom is working correctly.
    To do that, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop directly to the wall port in the bedroom using an Ethernet cable. Make sure that the laptop can get a good Internet connection that way.  If it can, this tells you that the cabling is working correctly, so the Express will work well when you connect it up.
    If you don't have a laptop with an Ethernet port, then we'll have to assume that the folks that pulled the cables and installed the jacks tested things as part of the installation.
    When you are ready to install the Express, you can use an iPhone or iPad if you have one handy for the setup.

  • Airport Express not connecting to the internet via cable modem

    Hi. I need help. I just bought an airport express to get wireless internet and airtunes. I connected everything and ran the airport utility. Everything is good, so it says. I can play music through my stereo using airtunes, but when I try to get on the internet I get nothing. My macbook recognizes the network, but I can't load any pages. I've tried unhooking the ethernet from the express and unplugging the power from my modem, then plugging my modem back after about 30 seconds, then reconnecting the ethernet to the airport after another 30 seconds but still, nothing.
    Does anyone know what I'm doing incorrectly? When I connect my macbook directly to the modem via ethernet I'm on the internet just fine. Thanks!!!!

    Do you have the Express setup to distribute IP addresses?
    If you do, you might turn it off in the Airport Utility.
    Also check you IP address on your MacBook.
    Make sure it is not self-assigned or something different than what your provider (cable modem) usually assigns you...

  • HT2497 do I connect my airport express to my modem via the WAN port and then connect to my imac via ethernet cable?

    Do I connect my airport express to my modem via the WAN port and then connect from airport express to my imac with ethernet cable? Is that how you "hard wire" the connection? Because when I do that, I still can't get online. Thanks.

    What is the make & model of your modem?
    You pretty much stated the correct wiring. There should be an Ethernet cable connected between the modem and the WAN (circle of dots) port on the AirPort Express base station.
    Anytime you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of that hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Please post back your results.

    I bought a Air Port Express device from Apple yesterday.  We decided to set the Air port device in a room near the router to use as a wifi extender to areas of the house where the signal is weak.  In our discussion with Josh, the Apple Rep.  he explained how it can either be connector to the router or use in another room relying on the existing wifi signal to extend it further into the house.  We have verizon DSL.  Our town is very small...no cable provided so we are lucky to have what we have...some areas of our town can't even get what we have.  We, didn't want to connect it directly to the Verizon device (router)....we followed the directions from Josh as well as the explicit directions provided by Apple support...it didn't work. We keep getting an error message.  Does anyone have any advice ?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please speak in "Laymen's terms"  I am not technically savy....but..am determined to get this set up.  Thanks to anyone, in advance!

    In our discussion with Josh, the Apple Rep.  he explained how it can either be connector to the router or use in another room relying on the existing wifi signal to extend it further into the house.
    Unfortunately, it appears that Josh was not aware that the AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless signal from another Apple router.
    From Apple's literature:
    Extend an existing Wi-Fi network’s range.
    If you already have a wireless network in your home and want to extend its range, AirPort Express can help. Just place it in range of your primary base station — an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Express — and near the area where you want your wireless connection. Launch the easy-to-use AirPort Utility app on your iOS device or Mac, and you’re mere minutes away from long-range Wi-Fi enjoyment.
    The AirPort Express is not compatible with a Verizon product for this purpose.
    Your might want to have another conversation with Josh to ask his advice on how best to proceed at this point.
    If you do decide to keep the AirPort Express, it will be necessary to connect it to your Verizon router using a wired Ethernet cable connection if you want the Express to provide more wireless signal coverage.

  • What cable do I need to connect a 2nd Monitor from the thunderbolt port?

    Hi I have got one of the brand new iMac's with thunderbolt ports - what cable do I need to connect my Imac to a 2nd display either VGA or DVI - also is there a budget version about as well as I am sure its going to cost a lot from the apple store

  • I have connected my macbook pro to my tv via MDP to HDMI port cable, all that is showing up is the basic desktop image without any icons, what do i do to correct this

    i have connected my macbook pro to my tv via MDP to HDMI port cable, all that is showing up is the basic desktop image without any icons, what do i do to correct this

    Your MBP is running in "extended desktop" mode, where the two screens together make one larger area to display windows. You can drag one or more windows from the primary (internal) screen to the secondary (TV) screen. By default, the secondary screen is off to the right of the primary screen.
    If you would prefer the two screens show the same image, you want to switch to "mirroring" mode. You will have to pick a single resolution for both screens, which may look poor on one or the other.
    Both the relative positions of the two screens in extended desktop mode and the switch to mirroring mode can be set in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement.

  • What ports to open between Connection broker and Web access hosts

    I have setup a 4 node 2008 R2 RDS farm (1 connection broker, 1 Web access, and 2 session hosts.) They were all built from the same image, but the web access and connection broker will not talk to each other. They are all on the same subnet, and ips are x.x.x.200-203 The Web access server can ping the Sesions hosts, the session hosts can ping each other, web access and the connection broker. But the Web access and Connection broker cant ping each other. I turned off the windows firewall and they can ping, and connect... So whats ports does it need open?
     Thanks!

  • TA20713 Can I connect and IP Phone to the LAN port on Airport Express?

    I am having difficulty connecting my internet phone to the internet.  I have a Comcast Modem with only 1 ethernet port which is connected to the Airport Express.  We are using a secured wireless network and I do not have a way of entering a password or identifiying the network on the Internet Phone.  Will I be able to connect the phone to the LAN for Internet access or do I need something else?  Normally I would simply try this out, but we have an old Airport express as the primary wireless router and we'll need to re-work out in home network a bit to get the newer Airport closer to the phone.  I'd like to know if this is doable before we put all the effort in.  Thank you

    The Ethernet port on the "fios box" (I assume you are referring to a DVR/STB) is not active.  However it's easy to use a MoCA adapter to get a direct connection if you have a working coax outlet.  Simply search "MoCA adapter" in the "Ask the Community" search box for details.  Also look here:

  • HT5390 What port should i forward in the router if I'm to connect to the mac server behind NAT?

    I am trying to remote administrate a Mac Mini running Mac 10.8 server but couldn't figure out which port to use.
    Tried the following but still woudn't connect unless DMZ is opened.
    Remote Login (SSH) - 22
    Screen Sharing Service (VNC) - 5900
    Web Service - 80, 443
    VPN Service (L2TP) - 500, 1701, 4500
    VPN Service (PPTP) - 1723
    Any clue?

    When you say administer, do you mean something like control your parent's Mac remotely, or do you mean officially adminster a classroom full of Macs?  If a classroom full of Macs, then you are most likely taking about using the Apple Remote Desktop software which you pay for.
    If, as I suspect, you just want to control your own or a family member's Mac remotely, then you do not need to pay for anything.
    If you need Screen Sharing, you open port 5900 (the VNC port)
    If you need File Sharing, you open port 548 (AFP)
    If you need access to the Unix command line, or you want to use the ssh 'scp' or 'sftp' file transfer commands, then you need to open port 22.
    Visit <http://PortForward.com>, they will provide port forwarding instructions for just about every home router out there.
    I would also suggest you get a free dynamic DNS name so you can address the remote Mac by a constant name instead of having to know the current IP address assigned to the home router, which the ISP can change anytime they want.  No-IP.com or DynDNS.org offer free dynamic DNS names.  You run one of their dynamic DNS updating clients on the remote Mac to keep the dynamic DNS name updated with the current ISP assigned IP address.
    Once you have the port forwarding working, you connect for screen sharing using
    Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server -> vnc://address.of.remote.mac
    and for file sharing
    Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server -> afp://address.of.remote.mac
    If you are going to use ssh, scp, or sftp, then from an Applications -> utilities -> Terminal session you would do something like:
    ssh [email protected]
    scp local.file [email protected]:/path/where/to/put/the/file
    scp [email protected]:/path/of/file/to/get   /local/place/to/put/the/file
    There are also sftp GUI clients you can use to make this part easier.
    If you really cannot get this working, then consider using something like TeamViewer.com which deals with all the messy home router NAT navigation.

  • What is required to connect T420s DisplayPort to DVI-D port? (Sony Trinitron)

    Hello.
    My wife and I have recently been watching Netflix movies on our laptop when it occurred to me: why don't we watch this on our 36" screen?  So I went out and purchased a DisplayPort to DVI-D cable.  Hooked it all up, selected the appropriate input on the TV and... nothing.
    I know that I need to choose the appropriate refresh rate and resolution.  My questions are:
    - Is there anything else that I am missing?
    - The NVidia Control Panel is not as intuitive as it could be.  How do I configure NVidia/Windows to enable the DisplayPort?
    Any feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    CONTEXT
    - Laptop: T420s
    - Cable: DisplayPort to DVI-D (passive)
    - Operating System: Windows 7 (64 bit)
    - graphics chipsets: integrated INTEL chip, and discrete Nvidia NVS 4200M Optimus

    Hi Gamloi7.
    Thank you for taking the time to reply to my posting.
    Config=>Display=>Graphics Card=Nvidia NVS 4200M 
    The T420s laptop has both an integrated GPU and a dedicated GPU.  I have tried using driving the display monitor using both... unfortunately it doesn't work.  All I see on the TV screen is black.
    TESTS PERFORMED
    - I have tried: Laptop (DisplayPort) >> to >> TV (DVI-D)... TV only displays a black screen
    - I have tried: Laptop (VGA) >> to >> TV (DVI-D)... TV only displays a black screen
    ADDITIONAL NOTES
    - Yes I have extended the desktop (via the Win+P shortcut).
    - For both test cases above, I disconnected the cable from the TV and connected it to my monitor to ensure that the signal was working... sure enough the monitor worked as expected
    - as I understand it the Sony Trinitron KV-36HS500 supports: 480p, 1080i, 720p
    - The following schematic is for the back of my TV. Do you happen to know if VGA or DisplayPort are compatible with any other standards?  For example... I don't suppose I can go from VGA or DisplayPort to S-Video ??

  • Can I use Airport Express to connect to a printer, Time Machine Back up drive, second b/u drive, and scanner through a USB hub? if so, how?

    I have an Airport Express that connects to my printer. I'd like to add a scanner, and two back up drives (one for use with Time Capsule, another specifically for photographs backed up from Adobe Lightroom.
    The printer connects to the Airport Express through a USB hub and is recognized.  I cannot get the scanner nor either of the back up drives to be recognized.  Is there a way to do it or will I need to rely on a USB hub wired to the USB port of the MacBookPro?  If it is possible, can you walk me through the set up for each? 
    Thanks,
    Doug Earle

    I'd like to add a scanner, and two back up drives (one for use with Time Capsule, another specifically for photographs backed up from Adobe Lightroom.
    Unfortunately, the USB port on the AirPort Express will only work with a compatible printer.
    It will not work with a scanner, copier, or hard drive.
    It should be possible to do what you want by connecting a powered USB hub to your Mac and then connecting the devices to the powered hub.
    The setup for the scanner and hard drive would be covered by the manfacturers documentation, so providing specific advice for those types of products would be outside the realm of this support area.
    But, if you can provide model numbers, it is always possible that another user who is using those products might see this post.
