Adding multiple Airport Express to a router/network Apple no?
Hi all
You are looking for assistance.
Until yesterday, I had an Internet ADSL connection and home network WiFi connection that consisted of a base no routing modem, connected to a time Capsule. The extended wireless network had 3 Airport Express connected.
My ISP (TPG in Australia) past my ADSL to the new NBN yesterday and have sent me a new HUAWEI Modem/wireless router. That's why I need is no longer my Time Capsule for routing.
My question is now; Can I connect my A-Express to the router not Apple to create a large network similar to what I had before? I did a little reading and apparently not!
Thanks in advance.
Can I connect my A-Express to the router not Apple to create a large network similar to what I had before?
Sorry, but no. Feature of "extend" Apple owns. The Express devices can only wireless "extend" the signal from another router from Apple.
You can still use the time Capsule to provide a network... wireless signal and the expresses may 'extend '.
You could use the wireless of the Huawei product for "guest", or disable wireless on the device if you do not need two wireless networks.

Airport Express, Time Capsule and Airport Express using the same network
Just moved into a new House and this is what I install. I have 7 Port wired into the House.
Closet of network in the Garage:
- Cable modem
- Airport Express
- netgear switch 8 ports
- It works pretty well. All my wired connections work fine. Wireless is quite good but cove not enough of space in my house.
Think about adding my airport express capsule of time in my office - plugged into one of the hard wired connections. Who works AND let me wish the WIFI?
Thank you!
Yes fine, assuming that first test you the Ethernet port in the office by connecting a computer (with WIFI disabled on the computer) using a spare Ethernet cable runs to ensure that the computer can get a good connection in this way.
Put the airport Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password in your existing network. Apple installation "Wizard" automatically configure airport Time Capsule in the correct setting of the Bridge Mode for the device.

Airport Express not on my network more
My Airport Express has worked wonderfully for years. Today when I tried to use AirPlay, it shows that the Airport Express Terminal dropped out of the network. The network works fine everywhere else, iMac, iPhone, iPad Pro... I checked the plug and it works fine. Also, I have plugged and unplugged the power cord from the socket and rear of the machine. I also tried to reset. What can I do else? The Airport express has just been? I had about 4-5 years.
Five years, on average, is about that for a router designed for home use, so it can be discussed here.
Suggest that you perform a hard reset on the Express and try to set it up again. To do this, turn on the Express for a few minutes, then press and hold the reset button on the Express for 7 to 8 seconds and release. Allow a minute for the Express restart to a slow status of amber light flashes.
Try to implement the Express again. If the Express will not properly configure, or it will not stay on the network, it's time for a new AirPort Express Terminal.

I had an old Airport Express station and wanted to exchange for a newer version and use the old ones to expand the range in our House. Is this possible?
By 'old' are you referring to the AirPort Express (model A1084) to 802.11 g? If Yes, then you won't be able to use it to extend the latest Express with a wireless connection between them.
However, you can use it in a roaming network configuration, which would force base stations to be connected by Ethernet.

How to test the signal strength of an Airport Express, which extends a network?
I am trying to understand how my Airport Express is actually help to expand my network, and if I should move somewhere different. Any help would be appreciated!
Current situation: my base station is an AirPort Extreme in our apartment computer room; for the internet, which is plugged into the wall. The wifi network is extended in the living room via an AirPort Express (version 7.6.4). There are on the same cabinet as the AirPort Express to Apple TV. The Airport Express has an optical cable connecting to a sound bar (which has an additional HDMI connection to the TV).
I don't really know if the AirPort Express Terminal, he does something useful. The network is set to be extended, best I can tell: Airport Extreme network Mode is "Create a wireless network", and network Mode of the AirPort Express is "extend a wireless network. But still, the wifi on my iPad and iPhone signal strength seem to fall much in the living room. Apple TV usually broadcasts music from my desktop computer (in the computer room) well enough, but if I try to play music from my computer via the Apple Express at the soundbar, the connection is terrible and fall. (Which could be a problem with wifi, or could be an aging Airport Express question, could be a cable problem or might be a sound bar problem...)
An example of what worries me: if I go to the Airport utility on my iPhone and a glance at the Airport Extreme, it has 4 Wireless, including Apple TV clients. But if I look at the AirPort Express, there sometimes a client wireless (iPhone), but never shows the Apple TV: even if the Apple TV is about 30 cm of the Airport Express. It's as if the 30cm distant to the Airport Express connection is weaker than the connection of two-rooms-distant Airport Extreme, but I am probably wrong that.
In any case, is there a way to test what speed is through the AirPort Express, compared to through the extreme? I tried to use applications like CloudCheck on my iOS devices, but those only measure the speed of my network, and it is unclear whether or not he uses the Extreme or Express.
Thanks in advance and all apologies if I used (almost inevitably) 'Express' when I should have used "Extreme", or vice versa, somewhere at the top.
One way to see the strength of the signal is the Alt (option) key while clicking on the WiFi icon in the menu bar.
But you see not directly related to the airport of arrival. Also the Airport utility does not give much information.
You can see a lot more with the free app (Appstore) called "WiFi Scanner".
The problem could be that the place you have chosen for the Airport Express can be better: it should be somewhere in halfway (in force) between the Real and where you sit with the iPad/iPhone.

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

Synchronization Airport Express
I have several Air Port Express base stations around the House to listen to music. They are managed by the supporting surface. They are not synchronized between them. Is there a way to do this?
Sorry, but no, if you ask a solution since the Apple Apple provides no way to adjust the timing or synchronize multiple AirPort Express devices on a network.

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.

Airport Express - to extend the wireless network
Hello
I have 1 Airport Extreme, make a wireless network and I have 3 Airport Express, to extend the network.
the Airport Express Terminal 2 have connection whit Airport Extreme. The last of them is too far. The last of them can connect to one of the Airport Express 2 located in Pentecost Airport Extreme connection to expand further?
Sorry, but no. The distant Express which is too far can connect to one of expresses it airport who are already extending the network... so that it can be used for AirPlay or to connect a USB printer. .. .but the distant Express cannot "extend" the wireless network and provide additional wireless coverage.
Ideally, your network could have AirPort Extreme, placed in a central location in the House, and each Express which extends the network would be located approximately the same distance from AirPort Extreme... and... ACH Express would be closer to the AirPort Extreme to another Express.
If this is not possible, then you need to look at a wired Ethernet cable solution for at least one of the Express features, or an Ethernet Powerline solution if you cannot run the Ethernet cable.

Connection error (streaming) at Airport Express to iTunes & Airfoil on Windows XP
I use Windows XP 2002 SP3 on a Dell Latitude E4300 laptop, connect to a router Linksys WRT54G, providing a network home WPA2-Personal (TKIP + AES).
I see my Airport Express 802.11n in iTunes 10.4.1 and can select it via the Airplay button. But when iTunes tries to connect, it comes up saying ' an error occurred during the connection to the antenna device xxx. ". An unknown error has occurred (error-15000).A similar problem happens with wing of Rogue Amoeba that I use to listen to the music of other applications such as VideoLAN to Airport Express. I see that my Airport Express is available but when Airfoil tries to connect, it comes up saying that "it seems that a firewall on this computer prevented Airfoil to connect to Airport Express xxx. Please check your firewall settings and try again. ».I put Airplay and iTunes as exception in my Windows Firewall configuration and even added 5000 to 5005 TCP and UDP ports 6000-6005 such exceptions recommended by the wing. I also disabled Symantec Endpoint Protection I installed. The only thing I can not disable is McAfee Endpoint Encryption, since I also use the laptop at work and I don't have permission to disable McAfee.How do I followed what happens is to prevent iTunes and wing of streaming to Airport Express Terminal?Also, I have a Windows Vista running on another laptop Dell Inspiron computer on the same network and have no problem streaming music from iTunes or the wing at the Airport Express on the same network.Thank youHello
You receive the error message relates to the firewall blocking the connection on Windows XP you can connect using Windows vista computer.
You will need to disable Mcafee on the computer for which you can contact sysadmin at work in order to allow access to Mcafee and check if it helps.

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
Georg
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?

I have an existing using a Belkin ADSL2 + 4 port modem and a Double N + Router Belkin Wireless. These are both located in my study.
My House is wired so that it has two ethernet ports in the wall of the study that point to other parts of the House - one for the living room on the ground floor and one in the living area upstairs.
The wireless signal in the lounge downstairs is okay, but not much. Upstairs, he's weak. Wanted to improve the signal throughout my house, so I bought two Airport Express units.
Initially, I plugged an Airport Express into my living room via Ethernet DRC and it seemed to work. The signal in this area seems to improve, but I don't have all the numbers to back up this feeling.
Then I plugged the second Airport Express Terminal on my floor living room via Ethernet and now, it doesn't seem to work properly. The signal on the floor is certainly not improved.
Any ideas? Maybe I did not give sufficient information at this stage, but I don't know what could be relevant.
Thank you
Initially, I plugged an Airport Express into my living room via Ethernet DRC and it seemed to work. The signal in this area seems to improve, but I don't have all the numbers to back up this feeling.
We must first check that the AirPort Express in the area downstairs is working properly until we can address the issue with the first floor of the AirPort Express. Please be patient with this process, there will be additional questions based on the answers to the first two questions below.
(1) where this airport located Express regarding the Belkin modem/router? In other words, how far from the Belkin device is the AirPort Express Terminal? How many walls or other obstacles between the Belkin device and the Express down?
(2) only the low AirPort Express provide a signal of wireless network that uses the same wireless network name and password as the Belkin modem/router...or...does AirPort Express Terminal provides a network that uses a different wireless network name?
(3) you have Mac laptop which allows you to check some network settings?

iTunes 12.3.3.17 plays do not through Airport Express
Hello
I currently have a playing difficult music through my Airport Express. Current configuration: MacBook Pro (2012) with OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 using iTunes 12.3.3.17 and an Airport Express (7.6.5 - connected to my stereo) Terminal and Airport (6.3.6) utility.
I had initially the MacBook to the Airport Express connection problems and after a search on the topics of discussion found that I had to change the network settings (System Preferences > network > advanced > TCP/IP by changing parameters IPv6 off automatically or link-local only) solved this problem. Unfortunately, the only solution similar to what I was trying to do involved by turning the setting off IPv6, who then arrested the MBP talk to EI.
iTunes has the choice to connect to Airport Express Terminal, but when I try I get the error message "an error occurred when connecting to the device. Airplay." The network connection timed out. »
Is your AirPort Express the only router in your current network configuration or is there another wireless router to which it is connected? If Yes, what is the make and model of this another router? If there is another router, the Express is configured to join its wireless network or to extend it?

Airport Express is no longer connect to Airport Extreme
OK, it's kinda a complicated question. For starters, I will describe my current setup:
Cable modem Motorola-> Airport Express #1-->(Ethernet over powerline)-> Airport Extreme-> multiple Airport Express for AirPlay
Airport Extreme and Airport Express #1 are put in place to create wireless networks, with different names for 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz frequencies. I love this configuration because it allows me to play music simultaneously on the four different speakers hooked to my Airport Express units while offering good coverage in my apartment together. It worked perfectly until two days ago when two of the Airport Express units lost their connection and are now flashing yellow. I tried to restart the Airport Express and Airport Extreme, but nothing helped. When I launch iStumbler, it looks like Airport Express #1 and Airport Extreme both create networks of right, but who is the Airport Extreme 802. 11A instead of 802.11n - don't know if it of a problem or not. I suspect that the Airport Extreme is not working properly because when my wireless connection when you use my iPad near the Airport Extreme, that used to be solid as a rock, is now uneven intermittently.
Any ideas on how I can solve this? Thank you very much!
It sounds like your extreme is the very old Gen1 or Gen2 model without dual band.
Back to the factory and start over. It's the best way to solve problems... reboot is worth a trial, but in the end, you sometimes just have to redo the installation.

Airport of adjustment as separate network
Hey, I'm trying to set up my Airport Express as a separate network. Right now it is connected to my Modem WiFi, but anyone connected to the WiFi on the modem can access anything that it is connected to the Airport network.
Is it possible to make the airport inaccessible to people connected to the Wifi on my ISP modem.
Thank you
On the iMac...
Open AirPort Utility (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)
Click on the image of the AirPort Express
Click on edit in the window that appears
Click on the network at the top of the next window tab
Change the setting for DHCP and NAT router Mode
Click Update at the bottom right of the window and give a minute to restart airport
Turning off the 'main' router and AirPort Express
Wait a minute
Turn on the main router and run a full minute
Then, turn on the AirPort Express
The indicator light of the AirPort Express will be orange flashing slowly, but don't you worry about this right now
Check the Terminal AirPort Express and other network to verify that the devices on a network cannot 'see' on the other network devices
Keep an eye on things for a few hours. If everything seems, for the well being, you can tell the AirPort Express to ignore the error Double NAT, he complains, so that it displays a green light
Double NAT may cause slow growth, no navigation, connecting from a remote location and other things, difficult, but you might be able to get away with Double NAT on a single network. Try it and see how it works for you.
