Adding a switch to a Terminal Airport Express

Similar Questions

• I want to use a Terminal Airport Express to extend network provided by my Fios router/modem without going through another airport base.  Is there a way to do this?  I understand that Apple does not support this, but surely there must be a way to do this.

  Can someone tell me how to set up an Airport Express Terminal to expand Network provided by my Fios router/modem without going through an airport as a base?  I understand that apple does not support this use, but my applecare Advisor said it's possible.  Thank you!

  Unfortunately, your AppleCare Advisor is wrong if he or she has told you that an AirPort Express to extend wireless signal of a Fios router/modem.

  Function of "Extend a wireless network" Apple is an exclusive feature that was designed by Apple engineers to extend the signal from another wireless only router from Apple. Thus, the AirPort Express... or any other router Apple besides... would not be able to extend wireless a Fios network.

  SO... you have the possibility to locate the Airport Express where it is needed... And... Connect it to the Fios router/modem with a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection, then the AirPort Express can 'extend' in this way.

  Or... If you are ready to add a second AirPort Express, connect the first near Fios modem/router with an Ethernet cable, then the second Airport Express could extend the signal first Express wireless.

  Another way to say the same thing, is that if you want an Apple AirPort router to extend wireless network... then you need two Apple routers to achieve this goal.

• Optical Audio Jack on a Terminal Airport Express, which digital optical connector/adapter is necessary?

  Optical Audio Jack on a pattern common Airport Express (model A1392, purchase of 2015) - digital optical connector/adapter is necessary?  My stereo has a TOS connector, but I'm not familiar with the analog/optical socket on the side of the airport.  What type of cable connector does?

  It's called a mini-TOSlink. It has the same dimensions as a headphone jack 3.5 mm, but it is simply a small tube. You can buy adapters to the mini jack to the TOSlink Jack standard to stick on the end of a normal wire, or lead with a type at each end. Some equipped trails a couple of detachable adapters provided.

• Terminal Airport express "could not extend network" after working fine for a week

  I bought an express airport last weekend and got on the rise and working on the 2nd floor of my house without any problem.  I had problems with reception shotty in my son, which is the furthest from our extreme airport room.  On Wednesday night, trying to connect to the woman in his room I continued loss of reception and so when I looked at my express it's orange flashing.  Pulled up to the airport utility and it says that the connection was excellent, but that the airport base station could not extend the wireless network.  The only thing I can think is that I used my iphone to listen to music through my apple tv the same day and I'm not sure if that set something off somehow. I have the express several times using the soft/hard factory redefined and methods without success.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  BTW, I created this as an extended network. Try to read and understand any bypass but do not know if this is the right way to go

• Extend an AirPort Extreme with a Terminal AirPort Express increasing the number of users?

  I have an AirPort Extreme 2 years ago. Based on the technical page of the product, the router can theoretically connect up to 50 users. That's more than enough if used at home.

  However, I intend to deploy a network of airports in our new office building and we have more or less 50 employees. Because everyone has a smartphone that it needs to connect, I try to at least 100 users/devices. Which includes all the network printers. Obviously, an AirPort Extreme is not enough. Another thing, I have considered is that the office building is 2 floors and all the walls are made of concrete, which means the distribution of the wifi signals is affected.

  I thought to extend an AirPort extreme with 3 more AirPort Expressare (mobile network). It's 2 APs on each floor. That should solve the problem of distribution wifi. I'm not sure the first problem - 100 or more devices into a single network.

  So extending an AirPort Extreme with 3 more AirPort Expressare (making a roaming network with 4 access points) increases the number of potential users of 50 to 200 (assuming that each access point can connect to 50 users)?

  In theory, Yes.  But you must take this specification of 50 users with a grain of salt.  Once there are 20-25 users on the same airport access point, things will slow down significantly. The system will operate as of cold molasses with up to 50 users on the same access point.

  Quite frankly, in a business application, you need a software router. Apple routers are designed for home use.

  Another way to say the same thing, is that Apple does not routers Apple at the Apple Store. Who could tell more than anything whatsoever about the suitability of the products in your proposed network.

  My advice would be to get an IT professional in and review your needs... before you move further.

• The AirPort Express Terminal is good enough for me?

  I need a new wireless router to replace my Netgear WNDR4300 'antiques '.  The network is only 2-3 laptops and iPhones 1-2 at a time, over a printer and Chromecast device.  We occasionally video stream, but not often.  Critics say the AirPort Express is best purchased as an add-on to an existing network, but I can't justify more expensive options from the airport.  I don't need the 11ac 802 that offer other options, and it seems that margin would be a problem, because it is limited to 5 GHz.  We have a two-storey house. Is the simple terminal AirPort Express good enough for my home network?

  The AirPort Express, pourraient deliver similar performance to your old Netgear router in terms of signal strength and the beach... but the only way to know with certainty if the Express will be good enough for your needs is to try in your home.

  Try to locate the Express up high on a shelf or Cabinet, if you can, to help in the dissemination of the signal.

  Fortunately, if you buy through Apple, you have one day 14, no questions asked return privilege, so if the Express does not provide the performance you need, you can return the unit for Exchange or a refund.

• How to extend the Airport Express Wireless Network at guesthouse?

  Currently have an Airport Express (fairly new, updated). Centrally located in my house.

  I have a guest house which has a garage and a front door door aside.

  Guest House is about 56 feet from the main house.

  I can get the wifi outside, (4 bars) up to 3 feet of the guesthouse before he gets spotty or the connection is lost.

  If I go into the Guest House, I see the other neighbors networks, but not my own. (Signals strong, 4 bars).

  My question is: How can I extend the range of my network wireless in my guest house? If I need another Terminal Airport Express?

  Where would he put regarding my 1st Express?

  I would appreciate comments, thank you.

  As a first step, it may be good idea to test the different locations of the existing base station. Temporarily connect an Ethernet for inbound Internet cable. Try moving the base station to various locations. Avoid stray objects/structures (Wi - Fi and Bluetooth: potential sources of interference wireless - Apple Support).

  If necessary, an extension of the network (Wi - Fi base stations: extend the reach of your network wireless by adding additional base stations Wi - Fi - Apple Suppo...) are possible. The best way to do it would be through an Ethernet connection to the extended base station (placed in the main, if possible). Alternatively, you can test whether a link of powerline network adapter could be used instead of an Ethernet cable to the extended base station.

• Airport Express

  I have an old airport express (used as an extender) and a Comcast cable modem. In order to get a signal on my iPhone (AT & T), I had a microphone AT & T cell. I can't use the microphone cell as there is only a single port ethernet on the modem. If I buy a new Terminal Airport Express or extreme, either will work as an Extender of the internet to my computers iMac so that boost the signal of my iPhone?

  If they both work (see above), port (WAN or LAN) must be connected to the extension of the computer and that for increase of cell signal? Thanks for your help.

  If your modem is a simple modem, an AirPort base station would work. For the extension, the 'old' AirPort Express should be a 802.11n model if you want to do it with a wireless connection between base stations.

  By "restart my iPhone signal" If you are referring to his cellular signal, then no.. Only the MicroCell can do that.

• Cannot find the Airport Express Airport utility

  Hello

  I have a firmware running extreme Airport 7.6.7. 6.3.6 and one Airport utility Terminal Airport Express (model A1392). I have access to my system on a Macbook pro. Also have the app on my iPhone.

  My Airport Express and extreme talked to each other and have been broadcast on the Airport utility. However, I had to change my wifi password and the network password. After that, the Airport extreme restarted. After the reboot, my Express was no longer recognized by my network. The Express has a light orange and blinks repeatedly. I can't connect to the express to address the issue of amber light.

  I have read many posts on the forum. However, I still have to find a solution. How to connect the airport utility to the Airport express?

  Thanks for any help, you can make it,

  You have changed the password for WiFi on AirPort Extreme... but... the AirPort Express Terminal was previously programmed to connect by using your password in the "old".  The Express is lost, unable to find the network at all and doesn't know what to do.

  You can help the AirPort Express by doing a hard reset on the AirPort Express to clear the old network settings and passwords, and then configure the Express again to connect to your network 'nine' with the 'new' password.

  After the back if you don't know how to proceed.

• Airport Express - no internet if audio cable is connected

  Hello

  I have an Airport Express for several years already and it worked perfectly fine for me until today.

  I didn't know that the internet connection has stopped working. After trying different things, I realized that the internet connection works when I connect the audio cable to the the Airport Express - airport service program in the internet sign suddenly gets Orange and green not as soon as I connect the audio cable to use for AirPlay. When I disconnect the audio cable again, it works again.

  Any ideas of what this could be?

  In this way, that I can't use Airplay longer.

  Airport Express: Version 7.6.7.

  I tried the update of the AXE, but this did not help.

  Thanks to everyone for your ideas!

  Best regards

  Is the Terminal AirPort Express the only router in the current configuration of your network? What is the brand and model of the Internet with a modem or gateway that you have the Express directly connected by Ethernet?

• Question Airport Express.

  I'm so confused. I'll try to keep a long story short. I lost my internet connection a few weeks ago, and instead blame Mediacom, I blamed my old airport of 12 years and I bought a new Airport Express Terminal (with a new ethernet cable to replace a at least 20 years. While the implementation of the new Terminal Airport Express, I was unable to get anything to work and finally called Mediacom. The problem was indeed at their end, where the cables to connect in the basement of my four-plex apartment.

  Now to cut to the Chase: given that I reproach myself my own equipment and not of Mediacom, I managed to set up two connections Airport Express (call Network1 and Network2). When I restart my computer, it connects inevitably to one or the other, but never the same. It connects only to those who, at the time, won't let me connect. So I turn to the other and all are well again. At the same time, when I get home, my iPhone will almost always automatically connect to the network which does not connect to the internet. It might work with Network1 while my computer only works with Network2. Same thing with my iPad. It is either 1 or Network2, but never both, and never the same. The three units can be on different networks at the same time for each group in order to connect to the internet.

  So my question (s):

  How can I remove one of the networks so that it completely disappears? There is apparently some kind of criss-cross current that confuses my computer and its peripherals.

  If I delete that which does not (at the time), I ALWAYS keep one connect correctly or I need to reset my Airport Express and start from scratch?

  I even does not start in the subject what a pain it was to connect my Tivo to my wireless network, because it works too only with one or the other. And I still have my printer wireless to set up.

  Help/suggestions/explanations are greatly appreciated. I've been using Mac and set up networks since the dark ages, but it left me speechless.

  The Airport Express should not have 2 networks unless you have enabled the guest network. Is it possible that your Internet router has a Wi - Fi network on it as well?

  I highly recommend you reset the default Airport Express Terminal and try again. It's really the only way you are going to get a suitable resolution.

  It is also possible that your network of old and new settings are still in iCloud keychain and causing some confusion.

  I would recommend you disable iCloud Keychain on each device, then make sure that you forgot the network name on each device.

  Recreate your wireless network (giving a new unused name so you can tell if it's all working), then log in to the network without wire on each device, one at a time, making sure the internet connection works.

  You can then re-enable iCloud Keychain if you wish.

  Good luck.

• Can I use the lan Ethernet port on the airport express to the release of music?

  Can I use the Ethernet connections on airport express at the exit of music over wifi to a set of speakers? I would use an Ethernet connector at one end a DIN 5 pin to a pair of speakers beolab 2500/2300. I don't want to use the PIN audio output on the Airport express, as it is analog. Possible music out through one of the Ethernet connections at the back of the Airport express? Thank you

  Can I use the Ethernet connections on airport express at the exit of music over wifi to a set of speakers?

  Sorry, but no.

  I don't want to use the PIN audio output on the Airport express, as it is analog

  Perhaps you weren't aware that audio port on the AirPort Express audio book Terminal analog or digital, according to the type of connector used. See this link on the AirPort Express specifications to confirm... http://www.Apple.com/Airport-Express/specs/

  In other words, for the Express deliver audio analog, connect a standard stereo mini plug with connectors appropriate to the other end.  To ensure that the Express deliver audio digital, plug a mini Toslink cable to the audio port on Terminal AirPort Express.  An example is in this link...

• Why is it not my Airport Express recognized by Airport utility

  I recently bought a second hand Airport Express (2nd generation).  I gave him a second 10 reset, turned and opened the last Airport utility.  The airport reported no signs of an Airport Express, light orange just kept flashing slowly.

  In the end, I tried an Ethernet between my PC and the Airport Express and the device was picked up by the utility, I set to wireless, WPA, password, country, and anything else relevant.  After a power cycle with cable Ethernet has deleted the device worked perfectly, wireless streaming audio for my Hi Fi.

  If I had not had access to a PC with Ethernet I would not not have been able to establish the airport.  My old Airport Express (2nd generation) who bought new is recognized by Airport utility after a complete reset.

  Anyone know what may be missing in the implementation of the recent addition or what might happen here?

  When you say you have tried the 'later' AirPort Utility, it was for a Mac or an iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc.?

  If it's a Mac, after resetting the AirPort Express Terminal, you can get the running "Wizard" configuration by clicking the WiFi menu at the top of the screen of the Mac and then by clicking on the AirPort Express to the title of the announcement of the new AirPort base station.

  

  If you were using an iOS device, iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc... then you would press to go to the home screen, tap Settings (gear icon), tap on WiFi and tap AirPort Express under the title of the new Station of configuration database

  

  Did you use one of the methods above to get the configuration "Wizard" running?

  If you simply open AirPort Utility, after that the Express has been reset, it does not appear in the main AirPort Utility... unless you clicked the button other peripheral WiFi and then clicked on the AirPort Express to get the "Wizard" configuration running.  In other words, if the Terminal AirPort Express had already been settled until... it seems utilitarian AirPort. But, you would not have seen it in the main window of AirPort Utility since will appear here only devices that have been implemented.

• Cannot find Airport Express network

  Facts:

  Cox Internet

  The combination Netgear modem/router. Best a Cox sold.

  Old version of the Airport Express, which is connected to the router via an ethernet cable.

  A variety of Mac, iPad, iPhones.

  I used my Express to listen to music through Airplay outside on my patio, and for a few years its has worked well.

  Not been well.

  Light is green and it and it seems to be ok. But I can't see the Express one of my devices.

  I did all the obvious things like the modem reset, reconfigure the Express to factory settings, etc.

  The best I can do, it's that if I reset (or unplug just for a minute or two) I can see the Express for about 3-5 minutes then it goes away and no longer appears on any device.

  It drives me crazy and I am very frustrated!

  The first thought that comes to mind is that the average lifetime of an AirPort Express is about 3 years old.

  As a general rule, food is the element that starts to head South, and in this case, the Express struggled to maintain a connection. Not much you can do about it other that replace the Terminal AirPort Express.

  Personally, I don't think that I've never had an Express go 3 years before it had to be replaced, but some users have better luck.

  Fortunately, Apple has a 14 day no questions asked return policy, so if you decide to try a new Express and it does not solve the problem, you can return the product for a full refund.
