will the AirPort Express Base Station create a wifi connection that will enable me to wirelessly connect to XBOX live on my xbox 360

Yes, but not in all cases with it provide your with an "Open NAT" condition that some on-line gaming require. However, for most Xbox LIVE access, it should work just fine.

  • Can I use the AirPort Express Base Station as a wifi 'reciever'?

    I have a AirPort Extreme base station connect to the internet in my living room. But my bedroom is a little far from the living room so that I cannot revieve a good wifi. I want buy a AirPort Express Base Station to put in my bedroom connecting my PC. Will this way work to make my PC's internet faster??

    Hello:
    You can extend a wi-fi network like this:

    That will not increase speed, but it will improve reception.

  • Where can I purchase a replacement CD for the Airport Express Base station A1264?

    Where can I purchase a replacement CD for the Airport Express Base station A1264?
    I'd like to sell my Airport Base Station, but I believe I need a CD with the software on it for the new owner. Anyone know where I can find one?
    Thanks!
    Meredith

    I doubt it is available.. and since a new Mac doesn't even have an optical drive.. there is no need whatsoever today for the cd.. it is all available in the OS or download. In fact the stuff on the cd will now be totally out of date.

  • How do I connect the airport express base station to the DSL modem? Can it be done wirelessly?

    Can the airport express base station be wirelessly connected to the DCL modem?

    Alan,
         Please provide more information.  (Make/model of the modem and airport express, Mac OS version, etc.)
    Most likely your modem is the source of your internet connect and you sound like you are trying to extend your network through the airport express (which is a router).
    I don't know what a "DCL modem" is.   Perhaps you meant "DSL".
    Most internet modems are either a "Cable Modem" or a "DSL Modem".
    Time Warner (TMC) and Comcast typically provide cable modems, which use a coaxial (round) cable.
    "DSL Modems" are used with AT&T and they are connected to your telephone wires.
    Both of these types of modems usually includes a router built-in, some include a wireless router, too.
    Either way, I don't know of any way to connect an Airport base station to a router wirelessly.
    That would be called a "bridge" in networking terms and while it may be possible, it is not common.
    Most routers use a direct ethernet cable connection, because the data flows much faster than wirelessly.
    Normally, one connects to their airport base station with an ethernet cable from the primary home/office computer.
    It can be accessed wirelessly, but only if you enable that option in the Airport utility (not the default).
    Again, connecting or bridging one router to another router is not a common method.

  • Will older Airport Express Base Station A-1084 work with new AirPort Extreme? I want to use it as an access point for my ps3 for watching movies and just connectin to Internet.

    I am lookin to plug in an older model a-1084 next to my playstation for a dedicated access point to avoid dropping so many connections since I am at the furthest point of my wifi coverage. Will it work or not? It would be connecting through a AirPort Extreme bought in 2011 -2012.

    This will work if you plan to connect the AirPort Express using a wired Ethernet connection back to the AirPort Extreme.
    But, it won't work if you plan to connect the Express using wireless only. That's because your older version of the Expess does not have a setting to "extend a wireless network", so it's not possible to "extend" the wireless signal using wireless only.
    If you added a "new" AirPort Express, that version does have the capability to "extend a wireless network" from the AirPort Extreme using wireless only.
    Keep in mind that to "extend" using wireless, the Express will need to be located where it can receive a strong signal from the AirPort Extreme, since the Express can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives. In other words, the Express can make the signal go further, but it cannot make the signal go faster.

  • Does the Airport express base station connect to any modem?

    ive got the apple tv in the lounge room where there is poor wi-fi reception and am wondering wether i should get the airport express or get a new modem.  what can the airport express do that the extreme cant, and can the express connect to any modem?  I have a NETGEAR modem.

    By modem, do you mean just a dumb modem or modem router?
    If you mean the modem, yes.
    If you mean a modem router, yes, but only as an access point, not as a router (unless the Netgear supports modem mode).

  • Steady green light on A1084. Airport Utility 5.6 says set up is complete.   Airport Express base station does not appear in the menu bar, so I cannot select it.  Is there a fix?

    Steady green light on A1084. Mac OS X 10.7.5. IMac. Verizon DSL Actiontec GT704-WGB modem. Airport Utility 5.6 says set up is complete.   Airport Express base station does not appear in the menu bar, so I cannot select it and send a signal to airport express to play airtunes through my stereo amplifier.  Is there a fix?

    I plugged a model A1034 Airport Extreme Base Station into the Verizon DSL Actiontec GT704-WGB modem with an ethernet cable and now the AirPlay icon appears in the Itunes window immediately to the right of the volume control and I can select it and play Airtunes wirelessly through the A1038 Airport Express Base Station in another room connected to a stereo amplifier by a Monster mini-to-RCA left/right audio cable running from the output jack on the A1034 Airport Express Base Station into the CD jacks on the amp.  The problem is that I have to select the Apple Network Airport Express Base Station as my network in order to select the Airport Express Base Station when I click the AirPlay icon, which means I have no Internet signal to the Imac. If I select the Airport Extreme Base Station or the Verzion modem as my network, then I have an Internet signal to the Imac, but the Airport Express Base Station is grayed out when I click on the AirPlay icon, so I cannot select the Airport Express Base Station and send tunes to the Airport Express.  It would be nice to play Airtunes while simultaneously accessing the Internet.  I don't understand your question about what program I am using for which I require AirPlay.  I am not learned about computers in general, and even less so about Macs than PCs.  I thought the program I was running was Itunes, and there was no separate program to run to use AirPlay for the purpose of sending a signal from the Itunes on the Imac to the A1084 Airport Express base station in a another room, and then out as described above to the stereo amplifier to listen to Itunes music remotely in the other room, without any kind of cable, wire, etc., connecting the Imac to the stereo amplifier.  I would guess that the most common use for the A1084 is to play Itunes through a stereo in another room without the need to run wires from the computer to the stereo.  I realize it would be easy simply to run a very long mini-to-RCA left/right audio cable across the floor connecting the Imac to the amp without the need to use AirTunes, Airplay or any kind of AirPort, but it would be both unsightly and a tripping hazard.

  • Profiles in New Airport Express Base Station

    How do I set profiles in the new Airport Express (802.11n) base station. I checked every tab in Airport Utility but couldn't find it.

    The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) can store up to five different configuration profiles. You will need to use the AirPort Utility, located in Applications/Utilities to create & save these profiles.
    To create a new profile:
    o Open AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
    o From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
    o Click "+" to create a new profile; give it a name, and then, click OK.
    o Set options, such as network name, passwords, Internet connection method, etc.
    o When done setting the options, click Update.
    To switch profiles:
    o Open the AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
    o From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
    o Click on the desired profile, and then, click OK to apply the new profile and restart the AX.
    Just remember to switch to the desired configuration profile before removing power from the AX.

  • Airport Express base station for internet

    I have an airport express base station. How do I configure it to transmit internet wireless to the computers.

    Since you will have, effectively, two routers in series, the AXn will need to be reconfigured as a bridge.
    So you network configuration would look like the following: Netgear > AXn >>> wireless clients.
    To set up the AXn as a "bridge," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AXn's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AXn, and then, check these settings:
    AirPort > Wireless tab
    o Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
    o Network Name: <leave the default>
    o Radio Mode: <choose the desired radio mode>
    o Channel: Automatic
    Internet > Internet Connection
    o Connect Using: Ethernet
    o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    o Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
    o Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)

  • Can you add new AirPort Express Base Station Simultaneous dual-band 802.11n with a 1st Gen time capsule network

    Hi
    Has anyone tried using the AirPort Express Base Station with a first generation Time Capsule and used it to extend their network, while still being able to use the Simultaneous dual-band 802.11n on their network?
    Thanks in advance

    The first generation Time Capsule was not a simultaneous dual band device.
    If you add the "new" AirPort Express to the network and configure it to "Extend a wireless network", it will extend the one single band signal that it is receiving from the Time Capsule.
    In other words, the AirPort Express will not extend simultaneous dual bands in this type of setup...since it can only "extend" what it receives. You would need a simultaneous dual band Time Capsule if you want that type of functionality.

  • Streaming from Denon receiver to Airport Express Base Station?

    Hello,
    i know it's possible to strem music, video, etc. from your apple device to a Denon receiver with airplay, but is it also possible, to stream sound from the Denon receiver to an Airport Express Base Station? I'm about to purchase such a Denon receiver and 2 Airport Express Base Station. To the Airport Express Base Station's i want to connect speakers, the Denon receiver will be connected to the TV and Bluray. So i was wondering, if i could stream the sound from the TV / Bluray, via the Denon receiver to the Airport Express Base Stations. Or is the airplay function of the Denon a one-way road?
    Thanks for feedback!

  • Airport Express Base Station Software for Vista???

    Okay, I bought the Airport Express Base Station because it supports Vista to play my itunes on my home stereo. I am completely lost here. The device came with a version of software (v4.2) that doesn't support Vista and when you try to update the software, it complains because my Airport Utility is to old. Why has Apple made it so hard to us this device on a Vista machine when they advertise that it works with Vista?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Interestingly, Apple doesn't provide the new AirPort Utility as a download since it's provided on the installation CD that comes with the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station. Have you tried contacting Apple for a replacement CD?
    As an option, here's a workaround...
    o Download a copy of the Less_MSIerables utility to the Windows Vista desktop, and then, extract it to a folder of your choice.
    o Download AirPort Base Station Update 2007-002 for Windows to the Windows Vista desktop.
    o Use a program like winrar or winzip to uncompress that file to a new folder
    o Next go to the folder in which you extracted Less_MSIerables.
    o In a subfolder you will see a file called lessmsi.
    o Right-click on this file, and then, click "Properties."
    o Click on the "Compatibility" tab.
    o Enable the option "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 2)."
    o Click "Apply," and then on "OK."
    o Right-click on the lessmsi file again.
    o Choose "Run as administrator," and then, after the program starts click on the "..." button to browse to the folder where you unzipped AirPort521Update.
    o Select "APSetup," and then, click "Open."
    o Select "APUtil.exe," and then, click "Extract" to extract the file to the Vista desktop.
    o A file folder will appear with a name like cab#APSetup.cab1.
    o Open that file folder and you will see a file named: APUtil.exe.
    o Either run APUtil.exe from it's present location, or copy it to its final destination.

  • Airport Express Base Station and AirTunes

    I was given an Airport Express Base Station and I purchased
    a PCMCIA wireless card (802.11g). After installation of both items I then upgraded the iTunes software to v4.9. I want to transmit music from my laptop to the Airport Express Base Station. I understand I require the AirTunes software butI cannot find a download site for that application. The CD that came with the Base Station does not have Airtunes (obviously an older version of the application software). Is AirTunes available as a download?
    Thanks

    Airtunes support is built in to iTunes version 4.9 - there is no other software you need to download or install. If your PC has been successfully set up to connect to the Airport Express wireless network, a drop down box will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes application window where you can select the place your iTunes should be playing (ie internal speakers, or the Airport Express).
    You did not mention either (a) configuring your Airport Express or (b) setting up your PC to connect to the Airport Express wireless network. To do this:
    (a) read the configuration manual for the Airport Express. Then download the Airport 4.2 update for Windows (from Apple's web site) - it provides the latest Windows versions of the Airport Express configuration software.
    (b) to get your PC to connect to the Airport Express wireless network, see the links to "accessing an airport network" provided at:

  • AirPort Express Base Station with AirTunes, is it worth it?

    I am about to buy a MacBook and get a wireless capable printer and I'm wondering if it's worth buying the AirPort Express Base Station with AirTunes. Does it improve internet connectivity? I have a Cable modem will the Mac pick up the connection automatically?
    thanks!

    Hi liquid_garnet,
    welcome to macbook forum.
    First check your wirelesss printer that you want to buy, and make sure they have intel mac driver for it in the box or on their sites.
    And check your cable modem, see if the modem is capable with wireless networking (usually if the box has antenna, it should be wifi capable), if it does, why bother to buy another wireless access point?
    If you really need wireless access point, I suggest you consider a wireless router hub, so you can connect up to 4 computer wired and not to mention the wireless capability too, rather than airport express with iTunes that only can act as wireless access point and cannot act as a hub.
    Good Luck.

  • Airport express base station question

    Since the airport express base station has a dial-up modem v.90 port, does that mean I can connect to dial-up wirelessly? I am getting a powerbook g4 soon, and I am one of the few left that cannot get highspeed in my area, and I want to be able to search the web throughout my house, on my soon to have powerbook. This would be the only reason I would buy this product, so will it work?

    So if i get the airbort extreme base station i can
    connect to dial-up wirelessly? How much of a loss of
    speed?
    None as the wireless speed is much much faster than your dial-up speed.
    Wireless connection 54000 Kbps
    Dialup connection 56Kbps
