Why won't my airport express work as a network extender since upgrading to iOS 6?

I have the AirPort Extreme as my. Network and the airport express set up as my network extender. However, since I upgrade everything to IOS6 my airport express is no longer acting as the network extender. How can I fix this issue?

I have an iMac, iPad, Apple TV and Panasonic tv on my network. The apple tech when I first bought the extreme 2 months ago had me set up the extreme as the main network and the. Airport express in a different part of my home as the extender to my network so we could use the wifi outside to my entertainment area and now to get wifi outside since upgrading my devices I can only get wifi outside if to stand next to the back door.

Why won't my airport express work with sky router

Im not sure if its possible but i am trying to connect my Airport Express to my Sky (G) router so i have a better wifi signal in the bedroom the other side of my house, will sky routers not actually work with anything not supplied by Sky or is this rubbish? Any help would be great please?

will sky routers not actually work with anything not supplied by Sky or is this rubbish?
A Sky Support Forum could probably best answer that question.
We can say that the AirPort Express can only "extend a wireless network" using wireless only provided that the "main" network is being produced by an Apple router. As far as we know, the Express is not compatible for this purpose with routers from other manufacturers.

Why won't my airport express work with iPad and iPhone?

I have my internet line coming into the basement. Its been hardwired from the basement modem to an airport extreme upstairs, but we sleep in the basement and the wifi is bad. I have a 1st gen airport express. So my idea was to put the extreme down with the modem, and run the hardwire to the express upstairs. I did this and my laptops and iMac got the same signal as when the extreme was upstairs, but my iPad mini and iPhone only have two bars unless you stand 5 feet from the express. Macs get about 48mbps, iDevices about 20mbps. 15 feet away on the porch the iPad won't even pick up the signal. The apple store advised I put the extreme back upstairs, and the express downstairs wirelessly. They said the iDevices may have been ignoring the express and trying to get the signal from the extreme in the basement.
Is there any way to use the express and the extreme to get solid signals up and downstairs? My fear is apple once again boned me and wants me to buy a new express.

If it's the original b/g only model its model number will be A1084 or A1088. It appears in the red box as shown below:
To configure one of them requires an older version of AirPort Utility. Check its model number.
It should not be necessary to connect it to your Mac with an Ethernet cable. Connect it directly to the Extreme, "hard reset" it again if necessary, then launch AirPort Utility.
It should appear in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu as "New AirPort Express...". Select that and proceed to answer the questions.
The AirPort Utility setup page with the words "using Ethernet" is as shown:
Its appearance in AirPort Utility will show it connected to the Extreme with a solid (not dashed) line.

Why won't my airport express work with the latest iTunes, the airport shows green but there is no icon in iTunes any longer, what has gone wrong, desperate!!

Airport Express used to work with iTunes v11 but now with v12 there is no sign of the little icon that used to appear over the volume button. The Airport is finding the network, nothing has changed bar the version of iTunes, what should I do??

A friend has helped me solve this problem, in my case it was nothing to do with Windows firewalls as some have suggested but it was simply a matter of resetting both the router and the Airport, the Airport is fairly obvious but not the router at least this was the first time I recall HAVING to reset it.

Why won't my airport express turn on after thunder storm ?

Why won't my airport express turn on?

There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default. It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence. Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.
If none of the above helps, you may well have a harware problem.

Why won't my airport express allow internet connection on TV blu ray? I have internet connection on iMac

Why won't my Airport Express allow internet connection on my Blu Ray when there is internet connection on my IMac?

I'm guessing you only have the modem/router supplied by your isp and the Airport Express. Is the Airport Express connected to the modem/router with an ethernet cable? If not, plug one end of the cable into an available port on the modem/router and the other end in to the WAN port, indicated with a dashed circle, on the Airport Express.
Have a nice day.

Why won't my "if" expression work?

This calculation works:
IF(A3<1,A3*10,IF(A3<5,20))
Why won't this one:
if(A4<1,B4==0,if(A4>1<=2,40,if(A4>2<=3,60,if(A4>3<=4,100,if(A4>4<=5,125)))))
If you want me to send you the table that I am trying to make this work in, just let me know. Thanks,
Elaine.

Never mind, I figured it out! Whew.

HT4437 My airport express worked over the past year since it was purchased. Recently it keeps dropping off my iPhone 4, my brand new 5s and my iPad. It does NOT drop off my windows based laptop. It does not lose wifi connection. Help?

Can anyone help with this? It is not wifi dropping the airport express. Wifi is connected. Music plays for 5 minutes or so and then goes silent. It is as if the Apple iPhone and iPad is no longer recognizing the airport express. I need to open up the menu and. Lick on the airport express on iPhone and iPad to get it going again. Then it will drop over and over every 5 minutes or so. No problem with Apple TV. Also no problem with my windows laptop as all work s fine with no drops. Crazy.

What does any of this have to do with the Apple TV?

Question about Airport Express used as a "network extender"

Hi... I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n that acts as the Base Station for my home network. I then have an Airport Express located elsewhere in our home that is set up to "Extend a wireless network".. We need it to give us better power coverage throughout our house... It seems to work fine... My wife usually runs her laptop in a distant part of the house and her computer connects wirelessly to the Airport Express and then from there to the Airport Extreme that talks to the rest of the world...
My question is related to a new Panasonic Wireless camera I just bought... This is not the first of these cameras I have deployed and each one has been a bit of an adventure... After a short time I got this new camera set up wirelessly near the Airport Extreme 802.11... So far so good... But then I moved it out near the Airport Express extender and it connects nicely to the extender just like my wife's computer does (I see this by looking at the wireless clients and I see the camera listed by its MAC address)... However, when I then try to connect to the camera by opening its web page, it won't connect... Once I noticed that it DID connect but only after a very long time and the page itself opened slowly and on inspection of the Airport Utility I noticed that it had connected to BOTH the extender (at good power) and the Base station (at very low power and thus the slow load)... But even though it shows it is attached to the extender just like my wife's computer connects to the extender, still I can't open its web page when the camera is attached exclusively to the extender... I admit to not being an expert on router or, for that matter, network camera settings so I thought I would drop in here and ask if anyone has any suggestions... Any ideas??? thanks.. bob...

Thanks for the feedback.. I have wondered before if "extend network" is equivalent to acting as a "bridge" and I think you are saying yes... thanks for that...
As if struck by a lightning bolt, sometime after I wrote my original post, the Panasonic camera soon after started behaving precisely as I would have expected... It is no longer attaching to both the extender and the base station. It is instead ONLY attaching to the extender now (which it is physically very near) and I can connect to it from a web browser quickly and repeatedly... And what did I do to make this happen??? Not a danged thing but let time pass... That's been my experience with these cameras in the past... As I said, always somewhat of an adventure to get them set up but once you do so, I have two others running now for a few years with no problems,,, Thanks for your help... bob..

Can an airplay speaker be a wireless client of an Airport Express used as a network extender?

I have a wireless network with a TimeCapsule and an Airport Express. The Airport Express is used to extend the network to enlarge the wireless coverage area. I would like to use an Airplay speaker wirelessly in the area of my house that is best covered by the Airport Express. I have not been able to get the Airplay speaker to be a client of the Express. When connected it always ends up a client of the TimeCapsule, even when the Express is very near and the TimeCapsule is far away. This means that I get spotty playback on my speaker because of the weak signal from the TimeCapsule. I know I can connect the speaker with a cord to the Express and get sound but for reasons of portability I prefer to go wireless. The speaker is a Klipsch G-17 and my computer is an IMac.

My Ipad acts differently. It will become a client of the closer device and will switch if I move from one part of the house to another.
That is what the Klipsch speaker should do as well. I think you have a question for Klipsch support to ask them how the speaker picks a wireless access point.
There are no settings or adjustments on your Apple devices to tell the Klipsch speaker what to do. It is up to the Klipsch speaker to select the access point that it will use.

Why won't my airport express generation 1 connect to anything any more?

All I get is flashing green light which tells me it's trying to connect. It's worked perfectly for years until this week. Have Apple done some automatic updating which means it won't work any more? As it won't initiate it won't, therefore, show on my computer so I can't 'talk' to it at all.

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.

HT4145 why won't my old airport express work?

why won't my old airport express work?

Not sure what you mean by "won't work".
Won't turn on at all?
Won't allow configuration changes?
What are you trying to do with the AirPort Express?
If you could provide the Model No of the old Express.....look on the side of the Express for this.....it will be something like "A x x x x"
and
If you could provide the version of AirPort Utility that you are using.....open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility to locate the version number

Why have all 3 airport express base stations stopped working, BT have checked and improved line still not working?

Why have all 3 airport express base stations stopped working, other users are on ipads and BT have checked and improved line but I still have an intermittent/no connection?

You must tell us the whole setup.. what is the main router?? How are the express connected to each other?
On ipad it works ok?? But you are on a computer?? MBP early 2011 running Lion?? That doesn't work.. even if you are right next to the main router??
Plugged in by ethernet does it work??
Have you installed a wireless diagnostic program.. ?? Actually Lion has one installed but hidden I believe.
Later version bought it to the surface.
About Wireless Diagnostics
If you do run Lion please install the 5.6 airport utility as it will give you loads more info on how the units are connected.. and link speeds for extend wireless.
How to load 5.6 into later Lion & ML
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
