Will an Airport Express help with the signal I am not receiving on my Smart TV?

Will the Express help with internet issue's I have with my new Smart TV?

If you already have another Apple AirPort router that is providing your wireless signal, then a new AirPort Express could extend that wireless signal to provide a stronger wireless signal to the TV....assuming that the TV connects using wireless.
Is this what you are asking?
Or, would the Express provide other services to "help"?

My wifi is not too strong in one room, can I use an Airport Express to boost the signal?

I have an Airport Base Station but the signal is only one or two bars at one end of my house. Can I use an Airport Express to boost the signal?
Also the AE I have is an older model and I can't get Mountain Lion to talk to it. How can I get around this?

Will airport express help with a weak wifi signal?

I have a new Mac Pro 12 Core and it's the farthest away from the router and is much slower to respond than the Sony Laptop it is replacing. Will an Airport Express give the Mac Pro an edge to help it get a stronger signal?

Hello:
There is probably no way to answer that - it depends on what sort of capability your existing router possesses.
I would probably try an AE, but I do not spend other people's money.

Airport Express Gone With the Wind!

I recently bought a new PB G4 17-inch laptop (non-Intel version) to update/replace my 15-inch PB G4 Titanium laptop (which I plan to give to my oldest son).
I transferred all the files from my old PB through the firewire cable option. It did a great job. Everything seemed to work, except my Airport Admin Utility (AAU). It shows no sign of my airport express. Even when I rescan, there is no sign of it (and I rescanned a dozen times!).
This morning I turned on my old PB and checked the AAU. Everything was fine. The airport express was visible and working.
My question is this. How can I get my new PB to "pick up" the airport express? The airport tab that shows the signal level tells me the new PB is not part of some special access list. And that I must see the administrator.
I don't understand any of this!!

See this article, Resetting AirPort Express, scroll to the bottom to Factory Reset.
Do one of these and then set it up again, AirPort Express Setup Guide.

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

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.

AirPort Express: Help with terminology

Hi all,
I've read lots of great posts here, but the terminology isn't always consistent, and I need help understanding the difference between the products.
I would like to buy an AirPort Express base station (ie: router) and stream audio to two different rooms.
Now, the AirPort Express is the remote device I would plug into the wall, right?
From what I understand, I can buy an base station which comes with the remote device. If I want to buy a second remote device, what should I do a search for?
Appreciate any feedback. Sorry for the newbie style question.
Steve

Checkout KB 107908, Identifying AirPort hardware.
The base station is that "flying saucer" like device Apple sells, right?
Those have been discontinued. The "flying saucer"s that Apple has sold in the past are the graphite 802.11b AirPort base station (ABS), dual Ethernet (snow) ABS, and 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
There's a smaller device that plugs into the wall, and has an ethernet port and an audio output. Right so far?
I believe you are referring to the AX. Don't let its small size and shape fool you. It is also a base station.
If so, what are these devices called? I'd like to buy the router and two of the remote devices with audio outputs.
If all of your computers are connecting wirelessly, you can buy 3 AX.
If any of your computers need to connect viaEthernet, you need an AEBS and 2 AX.

Will an Airport Express help?

I just set up a wifi network in my new apartment. Time Warner gave us a modem with wifi (Arias) but it was weak so I installed my Airport Extreme and set up a new network. It is much faster. But I am still noticing some slowness in the MacMini in the bedroom, the furthest point from the modem and the Extreme. According to Speedtest.net, my download/upload speeds/latency are:
10.68 Mb/s
5.30 Mb/s
24 ms
Would adding an Airport Express in the bedroom near the MacMini to extend the network improve the speeds or would that be a needless complication given that these speeds aren't bad.

The washer/dryer should have no effect on things, unless they create a huge power spike as they turn "on".
The microwave.... will only cause issues if it is "on". A well designed microwave oven will not interfere with the wireless.
The bottom line with any wireless set up is that you cannot know how well it will work until you try it out in your home. That might be why it is good idea to always understand the store's return policy before you buy.

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.

Will Final Cut Express help with...

I am considering purchasing Final Cut Express for a video project I am working on for my company. I have been using iMovie for a while and have not found a way to overlay a graphic (in this case, our company logo) on top of video. Will Final Cut Express allow me to do this?
Also, I just shot some video of clients giving testimonials that I would like to turn into marketing pieces. Unfortunately there is a lot of background noise in several of the clips. Does Final Cut Express have any audio tuning features that will help me reduce or remove the background noise?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Will Final Cut Express allow me to do this?
Yes, easily.
Does Final Cut Express have any audio tuning features that will help me reduce or remove the background noise?
Not really. You could try using a noise reduction tool like SoundSaop, but you're best bet is to re-shoot using proper mics and placement.

I have a current 2TB Time Capsule. I would like to add more ethernet ports for needed expansion. Will an Airport Extreme conflict with the Time Capsule for needed ethernet ports and will wireless from both units conflict?

I own a current 2TB Time Capsule and I need to expand my network system to include more ethernet (wired) ports. I am considering an Airport Extreme that would give me enough wired ports. Will the wireless capabilities of both units conflict with each other? I only need one wireless network. Thank you for any help.

While you could certainly add an AirPort Extreme to provide additional Ethernet ports, you could also save about $150 by purchasing an inexpensive switch, such as one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DGS-1005G-5-Port-Gigabit-Desktop/dp/B003X7TRWE/
http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Unmanaged-GREENnet-Auto-Negotiation-Auto-MDIX/dp/ B001QUA6R0/
Consumer grade Ethernet switches typically come in five and eight port configurations. Just be aware that a five port switch only conveys the ability to add three additional devices. An eight port switch conveys the ability to add six additional devices.
An 8 port switch provides twice the capacity of a 5 port switch for considerably less than twice the cost. The price difference between the two is often only $10 or so.
I just checked, the 8 port version of the Trendnet switch above costs exactly $4 more.
An AirPort Extreme is a very flexible full featured wireless router, and would provide three additional LAN ports for wired devices. If all you need is a few more ports though, it's overkill.

Will Airport Express boost a weak signal?

I get wireless coverage everywhere in my home, but in some areas the signal is less strong than others. Will an Airport Express boost the signal so that the 'weak' areas will have the same signal strength as the 'strong' areas?

If you are 20 feet from the router and only show a couple of "bars", either your router is not performing up to specifications or you have some wireless interference issues at your location.
An AirPort Express can extend the signal "deeper" but it won't make it stronger. It can only extend what it receives.
I suggest that you investigate your low signal strength issue before adding an AirPort Express. BTW, I assume that you are aware that the Express can only "extend" a signal from another Apple "n" router. It won't work with the products of other manufacturers for that purpose.

No Internet with Airport Express - Internet with ethernet

I have achieved frustration.
I have searched and searched the forums for the answer to this, and all I find is "reset the modem"
iMac
OSX 10.6.1
Airport Extreme
Airport Utility on iMac
Arescom Netdsl 800 modem
Qwest ISP
I can connect to the Airport Express, seamlessly with the Airport Utility.
However, I do not have Internet.
If I take the ethernet cable out of the Airport Express and plug it directly into the iMac, I have lightning fast Internet.
Can anyone help me out? Can anyone point me in a direction?
Thanks,

I don't see anything unusual with the modem information that would prevent a normal installation.
Try a factory reset on the AirPort Extreme (AEBS) as follows:
Pull the power for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug the AEBS back in to power
Release the reset button after approximately 8-10 seconds
Connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN (circle icon) port on the AEBS and use AirPort Utility to reconfigure the device. The main settings that you will choose are Connect Using "Ethernet" and Connection Sharing would be "Share a public IP address"
It's possible that you may get a Double NAT error notice. You can click to ignore this warning.
See if that might help.

I cannot connect my airport express - help

Hello everyone,
I have a problem I hope you can help me. Recently i bought a airport express in order to use as access point ( Extend an existing Wi-Fi network’s range )
but i cannot connect it. I chose the option "join to existing wireless network" but continues the orange flash light on the device.
My modem is Motorola SVG-2501.
Please, how can i connect it.
Thanks to everybody.

Unfortunately, Apple designed the "extend" function to only work with other Apple routers.
It would be extremely unlikely that the AirPort Express could "extend" the signal of the Motorola product that you have, using wireless only.
The Express could be configured as a wireless access point if you connect an Ethernet cable from the Motorola product to the Express.
