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I'm assuming that you have a newer version of the Express.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.

  • Will Airport express work with tivo

    I would like to get program content up dates through my airport express. i get itunes to my stereo no problems. Can I get program content the same way. I only airport in my imac. thanks for help with this issue.

    In the back of the Tivo you have a USB port, which you can hook up either a USB wi-fi dongle or a USB to Ethernet convertor.
    Price wise, you are probably just as well off getting a USB wi-fi dongle, as the adapters aren't that cheap, and you have some flexibility of where you put your Tivo.
    Also if I remember correctly, you have to have the AE operating in WDS to enable the Ethernet port, i.e. you need a second AE or an Airport Extreme (Or one of a few other routers that run WDS).

  • I have a VOIP with LINGO (Primus).  Will Airport Express work with the VOIP modem??

    I have been told how to set up with a regular LINKSYS wireless but can I use my VOIP modem with the AIRPORT EXPRESS?

    I have one base station connected to my modem and another base station (AX) downstairs which is used as an extender.  can i plug my voip phone into that one
    Yes, that sounds plausible. However, with an the extra overhead required to maintain an extended network, you may not have sufficient bandwidth for VoIP and voice quality may become an issue. Although it is worth trying out I would think.

  • 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.

  • Will aiport express work with osx v 10.6.6

    Will airport express work with an old netcomm NB6 router modem using osx v 10.6? Or do I need to buy a better modem first?

    My airport express is quite old. Model A1088.
    This model was discontinued about 7-8 years ago,  so the product is at least that old, probably older than that. On average, the Express will last about 5 years.
    I can't seem to get my airport utility to find this. Airport utility is the latest version.
    Not sure what you mean by latest version of AirPort Utility. That would be a 6.x version, which does not support the older model of the Express that you have.
    Or, did you mean to say that you have the latest version of AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....which would be the correct version for the Mac running (10.6.6)?
    Please clarify.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • HT1218 How can I make my first generation AirPort Express work with Mountain Lion? I have a 13" MacBook Pro (non-retina).

    How can I make my first generation AirPort Express work with Mountain Lion? I have a 13" MacBook Pro (non-retina).

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to print wirelessly (WITHOUT A WI FI INTERNET CONNECTION) .Using my ipad 3 to an HP air printer.

    Is it possible to print wirelessly (WITHOUT A WI FI INTERNET CONNECTION) using my ipad3 and a HP air printer ?.

    Christina,
    The purpose of the AirPrint system was to permit printing directly from iDevices to printers that are AirPrint enabled without going through an intermediary device.  The catch is the printer must be an AirPrint enabled printer.  The iPad's apps will then recognize the printer and print seamlessly.  Follow the link Demo gave you to see the specifics from HP since that is the printer you asked about using.

  • Will an old Airport Express work with a 4th generation AirPort Extreme?

    My Airport Express model A1084 will not seem to work with my 4th generation AirPort Extreme.
    I've tried everything I could think of to get it to work.
    I am able to set it up(Extend existing network) with a copy of Snow Leopard but although it has a green light and seems to be working, I can't pick up a signal on any of my devices. Everything on iStumbler looks ok to me except the channel on the Airport express is 3 and the Extreme is 149. The Express is on the 2.4 ghz and the Extreme is 5ghz. What should I look for on iStumbler that might give me a clue?
    Thanks,
    Mot

    The A1084 does not have a setting to "extend a wireless network", so it cannot be used for that purpose with the newer AirPort Extreme.
    The A1084 Express can "join" the wireless network provided by the AirPort Extreme, and be used for AirPlay and to run a remote USB printer, but the Express does not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it joins a wireless network.
    You need the new A1392 version of the Express or the previous version, the A1264 if you want the Express to "extend" a wireless network wirelessly.
    The older A1084 Express could be used to provide more wireless coverage if you can permanently connect the Express to the Extreme with a wired Ethernet cable connection.

  • Will the Airport Express work with the iPhone minus a PC/mac? If so how??

    I no longer have my mac mini but have a new PC. I also have a 2nd gen iphone with the 3.0 software. I just bought a airport express and thought I could, via bluetooth, use my iphone in leau of a computer to control my itunes thru the living room stereo system. In other words, use my iphone as both the itunes library and the controller for the living room setup. Can this work? Or do I have to still run it thru my PC? Someone with expierence with this please help!! My email address is [email protected] thanks, Bill.

    I just bought a airport express and thought I could, via bluetooth, use my iphone in leau of a computer to control my itunes thru the living room stereo system.
    No that is not possible. The iPhone connects to the AirPort Express (AX) via 802.11b/g not Bluetooth.
    In other words, use my iphone as both the itunes library and the controller for the living room setup. Can this work?
    No. There is no way to stream music wirelessly from the iPhone to the AX.
    Or do I have to still run it thru my PC?
    Yes
