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.

  • Does The Airport Express Work with Any Router?

    Hi Forum,
    i have an old Linksys router G Wifi speeds, does the Airport Express work with this?

    The AirPort Express or other Apple routers will not wirelessly extend the signal from your Linksys router, if that is what you are asking here.
    If yes, use another Linksys product to insure compatibility between devices.

  • 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 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.

  • Does airport express work with garage band in lion?

    Actually I know it can work and there are apps out there to make it work but I heard a rumor that Apple was going to allow functionaliy between the two in Lion. So my question is... 
    Will Airport Express work with Garage Band in Lion or do I have to buy third party software?

    I believe the HP 2840 can be connected either via Ethernet or USB. If connected to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by USB, only the basic printing functions will be shared out; the scanning, faxing, copying features are not supported.
    If the AX is configured so that its Ethernet port is enabled, the it may be possible to gain all of the printer's features by connecting it to the AX by Ethernet. In this case, the printer will use its own Print server to share out all of these features.

    Hi guys, recently had the same issue. You require an older version of Airport Utility to configure the older Airport Express. It can be found here.

  • 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 keep its connection?

    Why won't my airport express keep its connection?

    What is the AirPort Express not keeping a connection to? Another wireless router or your MacBook Pro?

  • Does airport express work with PC

    Does airport express work with a dell laptop?
    Can one setup an airport express for the very first time using a dell laptop?

    Yes on both. FWIW, I currently have a Dell laptop that has no issues connecting to my AirPort network. I also have AirPort Utility for Windows installed on this laptop when I need to administer the base station. In my case the laptop is running Windows 7.

  • Will airport express work with 3G wirelessly without access to Y Fi connection ? (usinmg an iPad )

    I do not have wi Fi at work. Will airport express work with just the 3G on my Ipad2?

    In addition to Keith's comments, if you are asking if the iPad can configure an Apple router like the AirPort Express, the answer would be yes, if you download and install AirPort Utility from the App Store. It's free.
    I'm assuming that you have a newer version of the Express. Check the Model No on the side of the device. It needs to be A1264.

    if you do not have an Ethernet Internet connection to connect to the Ethernet port on the Express,  you can still use the Express to "Create a wireless network", but of course devices will not be able to connect to the Internet. The Express will complain, but you can ignore the error messages.
    If your printer is wireless, hopefully it is an AirPrint compatible printer. Then you would be able to print from the iPad.  Check this Apple Support document for information about compatible printers. There might be other applications that would allow this as well. Check Keith's post for that info.

    I'm still not clear on exactly what you are trying to do, and devices that you have, so if you can state your goals again....we can make sure that we are not missing something.

  • Does Airport Express work with Airport Base Station (not Airport Extreme)?

    I'm needing to extend the range of my Airport base station. I purchased an Airport Extreme to funcion as a repeater, but it's not working. Will Airport Express work with a (white) Airport base station. If not, how can I extend the range besides moving the base station?

    Can someone actually tell me how to set-up the Airport Express (with my Airport) so that it will act like a repeater. Once again, this is an Airport and not an Airport Extreme.

  • Does Airport Express work with a Windows Computer?

    Does Airport Express work with a Windows Computer?
    I'm trying to setup an older Airport Express to play iTunes
    with a Windows Computer. I just want it to join my network,
    since I'm already connected to another router.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Is there a Windows version of the Airport Utility (I think that's what it's called)...
    Yes. That is only needed to configure the AirPort Express (AX).
    ...or do I have to go through Windows setup software?
    You may have to do that to get Windows to join the wireless network.

  • Does Airport express work with Mac os X.2.8?

    G3 with 10.2 and airport 3.1
    Airport express working properly with my ImacG5 and the Ibook G4 of my friend os 10.4 in 802.11b/g mode and WEP 128 bits.
    But my Ibook G3 still not detecting my network.
    I'm sure the airport card is ok, because I managed to use a local network with an other Ibook.
    Thank you for help.

    Yes you should be able to access the wireless network created by the AirPort Express regardless of which version of the Mac OS you are using.
