Whats the typical range of the airport express? Can I use a single unit for a 3,000sq ft house.

My iPad 2 has serious back light bleeding. What should I do? I think its getting worse too.

To address your subject question: the range of the express could extend over a 3,000 sq ft house if the conditions, placement, etc. are ideal. Plaing the Express in the center, or close to the center, of the house would give the broadest coverage area. But, things like construction material, wiring, other appliances will all have an impact on the signal strength around the house. You would probably be better served using an Extreme since it has significantly more radiated power (23 dBm vs 15 dBm for the Express) and will be able to tolerate the signal attenuation better.
If tow Expresses, then spacing them so each covers about half of the house would be a decent approach. But again, the construction of the house, and interfering equipment have to be considered.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

Is the airport express 802.11n used as a booster to enhance your wifi capabilities?

is the airport express 802.11n used as a booster to enhance your wifi capabilities? I was told when purchased that I do not have to connect it physically to the router but it would enhance the wifi capabilities if I placed in a room near the router/dsl? Do I understand this correctly. It never stops flashing yellow?

Any Apple AirPort Base Station (AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule) can be used to "wirelessly extend" any other Apple AirPort Base Station's wireless network.
They may also be used to "extend" any network created by any other wireless router, if you connect it to that router with an Ethernet cable. The benefit conveyed by connecting it in that manner is commensurate with the distance between the two devices, limited by Ethernet LAN specifications (100m).

While using the airport express can I listen to music streaming from the Internet?

While using the airport express can I listen to music streaming from the Internet?

The music must be in your iTunes library.
Or, you can try to add a special application like Airfoil that may allow you to stream any audio signal on your computer to the AirPort Express. It might work.

HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

I have an Apple TV and an Airport Express, can I use these to stream all audio from either my iPhone or my MacBook Pro, including Pandora?

I have purchased an Apple TV and an Airport Express as a gift for a loved one and was under the impression that these two would not only allow for movies, videos etc would be streamed to the TV from my MacBook Pro, but also set up Airport Express with speakers and stream music from my laptop or iPhone. Is there a way for all music, including Pandora, to be streamed through the Airport Express? I can only figure out how it works with iTunes, not Pandora.
Thanks for the help!!!

My airport express can't use airplay

i use macbook pro and try to use airplay via airport express but them said error -15006

I am familiar with using airplay. Thanks for trying though.
I should add that with a USB wireless dongle, I'm able to use airplay from the desktop, but when I use the Airport Express unit to join the network, no Airplay targets are visible.
I don't want to go back to using the dongle, as it means noticably slower internet speeds. Surely an Apple branded network device is no worse when using Apple Airplay than a third party dongle?

Airport Express: can I use it as a repeater fo amplify my AT

can I use an Airport Express as a repeater fo amplify my AT&T 2WIRE wireless signal?
I Am running several wireless cameras in my home but the signal from router is too weak to provide
a reliable connection.
CAn the Airport Express be set to amplify the ÀT& T wireless signal? Or will it only work with the wireless from my Mac❓

can I use an Airport Express as a repeater fo amplify my AT&T 2WIRE wireless signal?
Yes, if you establish a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection from your ATT router to the AirPort Express. Ethernet cable can be run up to 330 feet or about 100 meters with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the AirPort Express just about anywhere it might be needed.
No, if you cannot establish a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection from your ATT router to the AirPort Express using Ethernet cabling or power line adapters.

What is the difference between airport extreme and airport express, can i use an airport extreme to extend internet and also the airport express ?

CAN YOU TELL ME THE REAL USE ?

Oh wow, now I wished I would have researched this more, We currently have the airport extreme and wanted a backup drive and was referred to get the time capsule. So i guess i need to choose which one to use.

How Many AirPort Expresses can you use with BaseStatio to Exended Coverage?

I have the airport Extreme N Base station and have one airport N Express hooked up to get better coverage...
can I hook up more than 1 express to make a bigger coverage area on my property?
Thanks

can I hook up more than 1 express to make a bigger coverage area on my property?
Yes, but you cannot connect the additional 802.11n base stations in series to extend the range as the 802.11n "extend" feature does not support relays like in a 802.11g WDS.

Does Airport express can be used for other non-apple products, such as lenovo laptop?

Can someone plesase help me? I am so confuse on the apple products?

Its a wireless router - NOT a modem - You need to subscribe with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) operating in your domain (Country).
You normally pay the ISP monthly for Internet access and many/most will supply you with a modem as part of the package.
Most ISPs deliver the Internet access down your existing fixed telephone line - this is either ADSL or DSL and its very common for the ISP modem device to incorporate built on Wifi functionality.
This means you do not need to buy an Airport Express/Extreme at all.
Caveat the "free" modem/routers are frequently prior models and almost always require firmware updates for optimum performance.
However if your chosen ISP delivers your Internet access over fibre cable these companies usually provide a simple modem and to provide the wireless routing an Airport Express may be ideal

Can't Get The Airport Express Working

OK, So I have researched the forums and tried many different options. My issue is a follows. I have an Airport express G version. It came from a friend and worked fine. When I got it I did a factory reset to clear it all out. I Put the paper clip on the reset, plugged it in and waited for the 4 green flashes. I then plugged it into my laptop through ethernet. All I get is the flashing amber light. I tried to power everything down and then wait 15 minutes per item on the reboots. Still only a flashing amber light.
As a note when I hook it up to my router through ethernet it is steady green.
In all cases I cannot get it to show on the Airpot Utility. Everytime I hit rescan I get nothing found.
Please help!!

actually, to do a +factory restore+, you should unplug the AX, stick in the paperclip while you plug it back in and keep the reset button depressed until the AX flashes amber rapidly (5-10 seconds)
I then plugged it into my laptop through ethernet.
you need to connect the AX to your router with an ethernet cable
As a note when I hook it up to my router through ethernet it is steady green.
that's what you want. If you connect the airPort express to your router with an ethernet cable, the airport express can be configured to create an extension of your main network if you use the same name, wireless mode, security and password as the main network.

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.

The airport express needs to be plugged into the modem to work?

I already have a wifi device plugged to my modem I was trying to get a wifi extension signal to the other room. I boguht the airport express expecting to get wifi signal without having to plug it to the modem. Is that possible?

As I said....
The AirPort Express can "extend" the wireless signal of another Apple product....an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another Express......using wireless only.
Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have a minimum of two Apple routers if you want to be able to "extend a wireless network".
The Express will not be able to extend the signal of your Xfinity modem/router using wireless only. It should be able to "join" the wireless network if you want to connect a remote printer or use AirTunes. But, the Express will not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it "joins" a wireless network.
You will need to plan to connect the AirPort Express back to your Xfinity modem/router using a wired Ethernet connection if you want the Express to provide more wireless signal coverage for your network.

Can I use the Airport Express to create a secure wireless network in a wireless-only hotel?

Can I use the Airport Express to log onto an unsecured hotel wireless network, without an ethernet cable, to create a secure wireless network for my MacbookAir, IPad, IPhone, etc.? If so, how is that done?

will the Airport Express allow you to log onto a hotel wireless network, and broadcast a secure wireless network in your room for your wireless devices, like the Ipad, Iphone, etc.?
The bottom line with a single AirPort Express is no.
The AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless network when the network is being provided by another Apple router.
As you might imagine, it is extremely unlikely that that the hotel network....which no doubt uses professional wireless access points provided by a manufacturer of commercial systems.....would be compatible with an AirPort Express.
In many years of travel domestically and internationally, I cannot recall a time when a single AirPort Express would "extend" the signal provided by a hotel's wireless network.
However, if you had two AirPort Express devices handy, you might be able to configure one to "join" the hotel network and provide an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort Express, which would be configured to "create" your own "private" wireless network.

Whats the typical range of the airport express? Can I use a single unit for a 3,000sq ft house.
