What range extender is compatible with Airport Express?

I want to extend the range of my wireless signal. I have two airport expresses, one is connected in the office (to the cable modem). The other one is in my bedroom and is used as an extender. I want to extend the my wireless signal to my kitchen, I get the signal from the office but it's weak. However, I don't want to spend the money on another airport express. So, what range extender can I use, or what other ideas are out there.

If you want to this wirelessly then you will need to use another Airport Express.
If you can run a cable to close to the kitchen from the office and attach a cheap wireless access point then you can create a roaming network.

  • 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.

  • What wireless adapters are compatible with Airport Extreme?

    What third party wireless adapters are compatible with Airport Extreme?

    I would suggest checking out some of the wireless USB adapters provided by Other World Computing (OWC). They have a number of models to choose from. The link is to just one of their offerings.

  • What Vonage router to get with Airport Express?

    After a recent lightning strike , I'm in the market for a new Vonage-compatible router that I could use along with Airport Express. I used to have a Linksys RT31P2 for Vonage and I plugged an Airport Extreme base station into it for wireless, but both boxes got fried. Given that I want to use an Airport Express box which will provide wireless, I figured I could get a Vonage-compatible router that isn't wireless (like the RT31P2) and save some money, but I'm having a hard time finding one (it seems the RT31P2 is now obsolete). Best Buy and Comp USA carry two Vonage devices, the Linksys PAP2 and the Linksys WRTP54G. The PAP2 doesn't have an ethernet port in which I could plug the Airport Express so that's no good. And the WRTP54G is a wireless device (which I don't need) that costs $110 (I thought I'd be able to find something around $50).
    Any suggestions? Should I just buy the old RT31P2 on amazon or Ebay?
    If it matters I have a Scientific-Atlanta PSC2100 series cable modem, and my computers are Mac laptops (Powerbook G4 and iBook G4) with Airport Extreme cards.

    Best Buy also has rebates available on both of those devices. If you qualify the devices will be much cheaper.
    Since the AirPort Express has a single Ethernet port, your options are limited.

  • Extend wireless network with AirPort Express

    How to extend the wireless network with AirPort Express and Belkin PlayMax as the primary router ?

    How it work if I have an AirPor Station and 4 Airport Express, I actually also have an old TimeCapsule and an old AirPort Express. Can I cover all my house (around 300 m2). And will the old Airport slow down or convict with the new ones?

  • HT4259 Why won't AirPort Utility let me extend my network with AirPort Express?

    I have 2 1st Gen AirPort Express stations. I have my original AirPort wired into my modem with an ethernet cable and it works fine. I have my new AirPort plugged, well within range of the network but it doesn't show up in AirPort Utility making it impossible for me to extend the network.
    All of the previous forums I've seen say to reset both routers and "set up manually" and select the box that says "allow this network to be extended". When I go to setup there is no option for either of these.
    Am I missing something? What am I doing wrong?

    All of the previous forums I've seen say to reset both routers and "set up manually" and select the box that says "allow this network to be extended". When I go to setup there is no option for either of these.
    You are looking at instructions that apply to Snow Leopard and earlier operating sysems. You are using Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Hold in the reset button on the Express that you want to use to extend for 9-10 seconds and release.
    Close AirPort Utility if if it open.
    As edex67 notes above, click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen and look for a listing of New AirPort Base Station. Just below that, click directly on AirPort Express.
    AirPort Setup will open automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then tell you that the Express will be configured to "extend" the network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use for the Express and click Next
    AirPort Setup will take a minute to configure things. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    You are done, other than locating the Express approximately half way between your "main" Express and the area that needs more wireless coverage.

  • Extending Wireless Network with Airport Express / DLink Wireless

    I have a DLink wireless router WBR-1310. I own two Airport Express 802.11n's. Can anyone help me out with how I can properly set-up an extended network with these products? All help is greatly appreciated.

    You would need one AirPort Express located near the D-Link router and connected to the D-Link with an ethernet cable. This Express would be configured to "create a wireless network" and "allow this network to be extended"
    If you have two areas that need more wireless coverage, you would locate an AirPort Express approximately 1/2 the distance between the "main" AirPort Express and the area that needs more wireless coverage.
    Then do the same with the second area that needs more coverage.
    Without knowing your room layout, I can't honestly tell you whether you need only one "extending" Express or more than that.
    It will help to remember that the "extend" setup works like the hub and spokes of a wheel. Your "main" Express connected to the D-Link would be the "hub". Each of the "extending" Express devices would be at the end of a spoke. The Express devices at the ends of the spokes communicate directly to the hub, not to another Express at the end of another spoke.
    So, to work well, hopefully your D-Link router and Express will be located in a central area of your home so the extending devices will work around the perimeter.
    I would recommend that you study Apple's support document on extending wireless networks before you make a final decision on what to do.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145
    Finally, consider if you can connect the two Express devices you have now back to the D-Link using ethernet cables. This would provide much better performance than a wireless only situation.

  • How do I extend my WiFi with Airport Express? I have Ethernet in the house and an Wifi that do not cover the whole house. I do not get it to work.

    I have Ethernet in the house and an Wifi that do not cover the whole house. I do not get it to work. I have tried to get it into my network and it get connected via the WiFi but not the Ethernet. Also when it gives a green light I cannot see that it is giving any signals to my devices (iPhone etc).

    You need to pay attention to something, while extending your network with the latest AirPort Express upgrade, your devices will be connected to it except your iPhone, you'll see your iPhone always connected to the capsule instead, even if you're at 1 foot from the AirPort Express.
    You need to change the radio settings from automatic to 802.11a - 802.11b/g on your capsule, then I put it back to the default settings...
    Now in the AirPort utility you should see your iPhone connected to the AirPort

  • Which Color LaserJets are compatible with Airport Express?

    I am having a hard time figuring out which HP Color LaserJet printers are going to work with AE. HP's website does not give me much information and of course Apple's site is the same. What am I really looking for here? Would Apple Bounjour compatibility do it? If so, would I be able to just connect the printer to AE either using USB or an Ethernet and print off of the wireless network?
    Let's say would any of the following work?
    HP Color LaserJet 2605dn
    HP Color LaserJet 3600dn
    HP Color LaserJet 3600n
    HP Color LaserJet 3800

    Let's say would any of the following work?
    HP Color LaserJet 2605dn
    HP Color LaserJet 3600dn
    HP Color LaserJet 3600n
    These are all network printers with ethernet connections and are designed to be connected to networks via ethernet.
    You could only connect these to an Airport Express by ethernet if the Airport Express was configured as a remote WDS node.
    If connecting by USB I would expect them to work (even if they are not on my list) as they are network printers by design.

    This one is less certain, but my experiences with the 2600 makes me think yes it will work.

  • Extend Wireless network with Airport Express via Cat6 cable to Cisco E4200 router.

    Hello there! Totally new to this, but I've been doing a lot of research, and have been getting conflicting answers, so maybe someone can help me out. I've been reading that you cannot wirelessly extend your network unless you have a time capsule or an airport extreme.  However on some forms, if you have the airport express hard wired to the router(in my case a Cisco E4200), you should be able to extend your network.  Is this accurate?  If so, can someone please post steps on how to do this?  Thanks!

  • "extended network" error with airport express

    i have my time capsule set up in my living room as the primary, and since there are several concrete walls in my house, i need to extend the wifi connection in order to get signal from my room which is located at the very end of my house.  I've had my airport express placed near the doorway of my room which should be getting a clear signal from time capsule in the living room.
    everything works fine for few days, and the blinking amber light started going off on the airport express.  and from the airport utility it shows 1 notification on my airport express.  It said an error of "extended network", if i choose to ignore it, the indication light turns back to green, but then i wont be able to connect to the internet.
    is there some kind of settings need to be adjusted?  please help~~~
    my settings on airport express:
    Router Mode: Off (Bridge Mode)
    Connect using: DHCP
    Configure IPv6: Link-Local Only

    i've tried to plug the airport express literally right next to the time capsule, and it still showing the "extended network" error message.  so it can't be the signal strength issue.
    Help please....
    additonal info:
    my time capsule (primary) :
    Connect Using - DHCP
    Router Mode: DHCP and NAT
    DHCP Range: 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200
    my airport express (extension) :

  • Cannot Extend my Network with Airport Express

    I have an existing Airport Express that was used to Extend my network from my AP Extreme.  It's now flashing amber, so when I went to see it in Airport Utility, it was no longer there.  I had to reset my Express base station a while back, so it may have disconnect the 'extend'.  I reset the express and then re-opened the Utility, I saw it and tried to configure it, but it failed.  Now when I open the Utility (with the Express unplugged), the Extreme base station is not showing.  if I plug in the Express, it's the only one that shows.  Somehow the Extreme is working (even when Express is unplugged) and I have a wireless connection, but I still don't see it in the Utiltity even after doing a rescan.  FYI - I run Windows 7

    I should have posted this as a question so I could close it (I'm new to this).  I found the answer to my question in another post. 

  • Color Laser Printer - advice for student - compatible with Airport Express!

    Hi there!
    In September my studies will start hier in Germany. I'm now looking for an Color Laser Printer as a birthday gift from my parents. For me the compatibility with my Airport Express is very important. The printing costs should be low, i prefer to spend more money on the printer once. I think a price between 400 and 600 Euros should be ok.
    Could you give me some advices or tell me your experiences?
    Sorry for my english, i know it's not the best;-)
    Greetings from Germany!

    A very helpful guide as to which printers work with the airport express is here:

    If it works on the quoted airport extreme, you should be good with the airport express
    Hope that helps and good luck.

  • Extending a network with Airport Express 802.11n-2.4 or 5.0GHz?

    I've just ordered an AirPort Express N to extend the network of my AirPort Extreme (Gigabit) and run AirTunes. It'll be connected to the router by Ethernet.
    My question is this: can I run the Express at 2.4GHz (802.11b/g/n) while I run the Extreme at 5.0GHz (802.11n only), even though they're on the same network? I've got a couple of 802.11g machines (my old iBook and my iPhone, for two), so I need to keep backward-compatibility, but I'd love for the 802.11n machines (my iMac, and my wife's Mac Book) to connect at the higher speed. Can you extend a network on different frequencies?

    No, not while they are in a WDS. If you want to operate wireless networks in both radio bands, you would need to configure the base stations in a "dual band" network.
    Setting up a "dual band" network is described in the Designing AirPort Networks document, starting on page 48.
