• 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.

• Airport Express connects to my WiFi bridge

  Hello world

  It is searched many Web pages and throughout the Apple support forums, but I still could not understand...

  I bought recently Airport Express to extend my Wifi in another room and thus use it for AirPlay. My existing WiFi network is set up by the router, Asus RT - N12 (it is connected to our modem from the vendor to the scale of home - isn't available). I want to my Airport Express to work as bridge, connected to the existing network and to serve as extension and receiver airplay.

  It works only when I connect Airport Express via LAN cable to the Asus router and set it as the new network. This is not convenient because it is located near the router and does not provide any additional coverage to our Wifi.

  I tried to set up the base Airport Express "Extend existing network." But once set, it REQUIRES connection via cable. To connect to the existing WiFi network, there is NO other choice. This option is missing in the Airpot utility, so I can't select the Wifi to connect to.

  In addition, when I connect to the Airport Express Terminal cable to the WAN port (which is our wall of our home modem), you do not find the internet connection for some reason any (while Asus has no question to do).

  I'm quite desperate here. I already think to buy Airport Extreme. But I don't know if he will be able to connect to the internet for the same reason. And, it is five times more expensive. Everything else works with Asus without problems and additional parameters. iPhones, iPads, Apple TV, Android phones, Mac Pro, laptops Windows (except old 3G iPhone that says that it cannot connect to the network).

  Any ideas where to look for a solution? None of the settings in our modem Asus to allow the airport as bridge recommended? And, above all, WHY is configuring lack the ability to connect to the existing Wifi network and wants to connect via cable ONLY?

  Thank you...

  I want to my Airport Express to work as bridge, connected to the existing network and to serve as extension and receiver airplay.

  Unfortunately, function of "extend a wireless network" Apple is an exclusive feature that has been designed by Apple for only wireless "extend" the signal of another Apple wireless router.

  Or, another way of saying the same thing would be to say that, if you want to extend the wireless network, you will need two routers Apple for this purpose.

  In other words, the function 'extend' is not compatible with 3rd party routers, so the only way that you will be able to get the Express at work... or any other router from Apple, incidentally... would do what you did and plug the Express using a wired Ethernet cable connection.  If you cannot run the Ethernet cable, then you can take a look at a pair of Ethernet over Powerline (EOP) adapters to eventually send the signal on power lines the existing AC in your House.

  If you only want to use the AirPort Express for AirPlay, it might be possible for the Express to 'join' the wireless network... but the Express won't provide any additional wireless signal coverage by joining a wireless network.

• Is my Airport Express now superfluous?

  I used an Airport Express as a work-around.  Isn't it more that my network is going through my Time Capsule.

  Probably yes.  If your Time Capsule is newer then you have probably no need of the Airport Express on your network.

  The only reason why you can still have an old Airport Express on the network as well would be if you use it to listen to music to the speakers via audio jack mini of the Airport Express.

  Unless you are notified, network is actually good reason to remove the Airport Express to your network it can contribute to a "double NAT" configuration, or even a configuration with two DHCP servers on the same network.  They will be both very undesirable.

• Time lag by using several units of Airport Express in different places in a House!

  Hi guys,.

  I have a setup that all my equipment is in what I would call a control room in the basement of my house.

  Includes the Imac, Mac Pro and a PC.

  All these are connected to a switch and from there 2 Airport Express joined the network to connect to amplifiers which in turn feed the cables in my living room and covered Patio speakers respectively (2 zones)

  My intention is to install an already second-hand subwoofer Pioneer in my living room and do I buy an extra unit of Airport Express.

  Attach it to my network (via Ethernet in my living room) as the House is wired.

  It is then if I will face the time offset between the 2 express units airport due to difference in size of audio cables used to transfer the sound to the same location, EVEN the difference in the location of the 2 Airport express units?

  Someone at - he had this experience?

  Synchronization problems are common with the Airport Express. I can hear the slight differences in the arrival of time signal if the audio volume is up enough level to be able to hear the music in two adjacent rooms, with both expressing equal distance from the Ethernet switch.

  Unfortunately, Apple provides no parameters to adjust the synchronization of the audio signal, and no one here has a crystal ball that is good enough to be able to predict the performance of your network. So, this is going to be one of those moments where you won't know how well it will work in your home, until you try them in your home.

  Let us know how things work when you can.

• Airport Express wifi speed

  Hello

  I have a 200 Mbps TWC service. I use TWC provided modem Arris 1070a (NAT = bridge) and have an Airport Express connected via Ethernet to my wireless router.

  When I connect my macbook pro directly to the modem arris via ethernet, I get over 200 Mbps download speed. However, when I use my wifi 5 GHz of my Airport express network, I'm only syncing on 30mbps.

  I understand that the Express has a 10/100 Ethernet port, but I should at least get 80 or 90 Mbps on wifi.

  Any ideas that I can do to get a speed more fast wifi other than trying to the extreme?

  Thank you

  Vishal200

  However, when I use my wifi 5 GHz of my Airport express network, I'm only syncing on 30mbps.

  What is the speed of the wireless link? Option, click the wifi icon in the top menu. This will give you lots of useful information...

  You must be related to the 300mbps... If this isn't the case, it will go just not fast.

• Airport Express connection speed

  I have 40 MB/s internet speed down.  I have a new modem century link (recently moved home - new internet service) feed my Airport express.   Until a few days ago I received all 40 Mbps through my Airport Express wireless.  Now it is capped to 10 for some reason any.  The only thing that has changed is that I had to power cycle my modem to redirect a couple power cords in my basement.  When I connect my computer to the same ethernet cable that feeds the Airport express I get the full 40.  I tried to restart everything. I tried all channels 2,4 ghz manual on the express (I didn't configured 5 GHz because I really don't need right now).  I don't know why its running at 10 and not 40 like a few days ago.

  What is the brand and model of your modem provided by century link? What exact model is your base station AirPort Express? Is the Express directly connected to the modem by Ethernet?

• my airport express does not extend to my network

  Hello to you all guru out there...

  I 5g internet and comes with the router and signal is fantastic in the main lounge, but it is a large apartment and once I get my room the signal decreases considerably.

  I bought an Airport Express and it connects to the wifi perfectly, green light and everything, but it does not extend my wifi network...

  Do I need to have another Aiport Express hooked up to the main router, then extend the Airport Express wifi or should I get an Airport Extreme?

  Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Do I need to have another Aiport Express hooked up to the main router, then extend the Airport Express wifi

  Yes, the "main" AirPort Express should be connected to your router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanently. This Express will be set to "create a wireless network.

  Other Express your distance can then be configured to "extend a wireless network.  In its current form, your existing Express is configured to "join a wireless network.  It will work for AirPlay like that, or allow you to connect a supported USB printer, but it cannot extend a network provided by a third-party router wireless.

  Regarding matching them things, it would make sense to use two airport expresses, or the two extremes of the airport.  The extreme might be your "primary" router if you wanted to, but the Express would not be able to expand the capacity of faster speed to the extreme.

• AirPort Express added to "AirTunes" music to the network

  Hi guys, just a quick bit of advice of you would be good - I want to add an AirPort express to my set up as a dedicated "iTunes Speaker." So far, I have used a 1st generation Apple TV as my extension of iTunes, but this has made me now, and I don't need a model later that I don't need the video capabilities of it - I just need something to the music of airtime either my iPhone or, for most of the time, iTunes on my MacBook Pro.

  My network is as follows:

  Internet comes to DSL modem cable, which is connected to the Wan 2nd generation (500 GB) airport Time Capsule for LAN and WiFi. ATV has been directly linked by ethernet (via a Netgear switch) and my MacBook and iPhone use WiFi (802.11n 5 GHz)

  While I was looking for the original to the current model Express Airport (A1392) and using that passthrough network local ethernet of the TC to the switch (which continues to provide my TV, games console box, etc.) and possibly use it as a WiFi extender too (further strong WiFi to the garden for example - the TC is on the floor and it's down) , but then I thought - the oldest AirPort Express (A1264) allowed? And rather than go through the ethernet LAN of the floor (because it doesn't have two WAN/LAN ports, as the current model), but rather just hanging the switch via ethernet and to connect it to my amp to pump music iTunes/iPhone?

  If I had to, I would still be able to use it as a way to extend the range of my 802.11n network (that I don't know if 1 model made gen only 2.4 or 5 GHz)

  A1264 models are fairly cheap on eBay these days and would be an inexpensive way to add music streaming capabilities in my set up.

  Thank you!

  the old AirPort Express (A1264) usable?

  Yes

  And rather than go through the ethernet LAN of the floor (because it doesn't have two WAN/LAN ports, as the current model), but rather just hanging the switch via ethernet and to connect it to my amp to pump music iTunes/iPhone?

  It works

  If I had to, I would still be able to use it as a way to extend the range of my 802.11n network?

  Yes

  (as I don't know if 1 model made gen only 2.4 or 5 GHz)

  The A1264 can do is 2.4 GHz... or. .... 5 GHz, but not both at the same time.

• Yesterday my AirPort express (2nd generation) wanted to update to be r 7.6.7. After that the speed of the aircraft fell sharply. Everyone has experienced similar behavior? Tips to solve the problem are welcome.

  Yesterday my Airport Express wanted to updated, I did. (from 7.4.6 to 7.6.7).

  After that, he started to behave erratically with big drops in speed. Anyone have similar experiences? How can I fix this without having to buy a new one.

  Stop your Mac. Turn off your Airport Express and stop the modem from your ISP. Wait 10 minutes, then turn on the modem to ISP, and then the Airport Express base station. Power on your Mac. Re-evaluate your performance problems.

  Run thisor that in this preference order to assess your latency time, download and bandwidth. You may need to modify the server or the other.

  I have upgrade 7.6.7 on my 4th gen Airport Extreme and observed no performance degradation to before the update.

  Sometimes the ISP gets their DNS in a tangle and makes the network almost Catatonic until they have to fix things. Nothing to do in this case at the user level. Did you call your ISP and asked them to check their equipment on your premises?

• Change of modem can improve the speed of Airport Express Extender?

  My router is a Airport Extreme 6th Gen.

  When Wi - Fi and close this Airport Extreme base station, I get average speeds of:

  117 Mbps down and > 11 Mbps upward

  At the opposite end of the House, I use a wireless extension: Airport Express 1 St gen - model A1264 (MB32 1LL/A)

  Here, the download speed goes up to 14mbps . 

  Download speed rest > 11 Mbps

  My ISP will not have my current cable modem: 6580 Motorola (jumpered to disable router) to provide speeds greater than 100/10 (though even I can actually slightly higher than average, I have indicate above).

  If I replaced the modem with my ISP (Time Warner Cable) provisions for 200/20Mbps (speeds I pay in fact) - and * if * I got then that 100 Mbps speed increase (wireless) when close to my Airport Extreme base station (and I think I'll) - should I then expect to see a significant speed increase at the opposite end of the House , where I rely on the Airport Express wireless extension?

  In other words, is expected to double the speed of my modem now gives me wireless (when you're on my Apple Extreme base station) also be reflected in an increase in speed at the end of the House where I must rely on the Express Extender 1 generation and where I am now only download speeds see 14Mbps?

  BTW:

  1. I can not move my extreme or my Express.  They both must stay exactly where they are. Neither can they cannot be permanently interconnected via ethernet cable.

  2. I don't think the speed reduction I describe is a bandwidth issue because I am the only one on the network and do not have multiple downloads on several devices at the same time.

  Before I ring $$$ on a modem that won't improve my speed, you will appreciate any guidance I where I need more.

  Change of modem can improve the speed of AirPort Express Extender?

  Just a little, at best. The Express pourrait spend 25-30 Mbps. No guarantee, with strangeness wireless... it is maybe the same or worse based on my experiences.

  If you need more speed at the end of the House... the AirPort Express must be located to half way between the AirPort Extreme and the end of the House. Ideally, he would have line-of-sight with AirPort Extreme.

  Yet, you say that you can not move the Express or the extreme and can't get the Ethernet cable. Have you considered or tried Powerline Ethernet adapters?

• 5 ghz not listed is not on the Airport Express

  My 2.4 Ghz network is fine and my 5 GHz appears on some devices.

  It does not appear on my Smart TV and my TV from fire.  Both devices have seen my old 5 Ghz router.

  I'll put something wrong?

  The 5 GHz band is limited in scope. Where is the Terminal AirPort situated Express regarding the Smart TV & TV of fire? What exact model of the AirPort Express you have? Y at - it other routers (wireless or not) in your current network configuration?

  Your 5 GHz network uses a name of network with spaces or special characters? Your network is hidden?

• New Airport Express network

  I have Verizon FiOS. FiOS offers two different bands for their signal: the regular jumping between 2.4 GHz and the 5G band, which, as implied, aired in 5 GHz, which is faster and has a signal stronger.

  The 5G service came online towards the end, that's why I has not set up the place initially to enjoy, but now there is a critical mass of FiOS and other WiFi networks that I have, as my wireless keeps dropping out. I want to spend my airports to the 5G network, but I don't see where I have that option. To complicate matters, I can 'see' 5G without airports (for example directly from Verizon router) so I can connect to it but at the moment, it is the only device connected and I would like to expand the network so that it works perfectly when I start to put other devices online.

  How can I do?

  What exact model of the AirPort Express you have? Only the 2nd gen (currently last) Express has simultaneous dual-band capability. This means that the 5 GHz band radio is already automatically enabled in these base stations. However, with the 1st model gen, you can have either the 2.4 or 5 GHz radio operational at a time.

  If you have one of the units earlier, then you would change the radio using AirPort Utility as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility, select the base station, and then select 'change '.
  • Select the wireless tab, click Options wireless...
  • Change the Radio Mode to one of the 5 GHz options.
  • Click on save and then click Update.
  • Allow the base station restart.

• Airport express at slow speed of the modem Arris SB6190

  Hello!

  My so-called WIFi Comcast gives me 150Mbps. My test only show 70 or slower speed on a WiFi test. After the call to them they told me to talk to my modems customer service. But their customer service is terrible. Here is my setup and yes everything has been switched off voltage and reset. And Comcast has been created with the modem while the Comcast guy was here. From the start after a few hard reset the express worked. Here's the question and the installation program.

  I have a SB6190 (not wireless), Arris directly connected to my Airport express. The express (which deals with my wireless connection) is connected to a switch (for wired devices). But I think that my problem is the Express. ? Not sure, I guess my question is I do something wrong in public services from the airport with the Express settings? I do not see why I get more 75Mbps wireless. Or maybe Apple if your reading, you can give it a fix on your next update. Hope you can help and thanks!

  Here some thoughts:

  (1) the Airport Express uses 100 ports Ethernet of Mbit/s, so the theoretical maximum speed that could be achieved with an Ethernet or Wi - Fi through the Express would be 100 Mbit / s.

  (2) the Express is not known for his speed wireless. On a connection of 100 Mbps Internet here, I see usually 45 - 50 Mbps at best more wireless, no matter if the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz is used.  Ethernet checks better about 75-80 MB/s to the Express LAN port.

  (3) these are user to user support forums, so it is very unlikely that anyone from Apple will ever see your post. If you want to provide feedback to Apple, you can do so here: Apple Apple - AirPort Express - Feedback will acknowledge receipt of your message, but they will not respond after that.

  (4) the AirPort Express was introduced almost 4 years ago and it's been 2 years that Apple has provided an update firmware for the product, so additional updates are not probably... my opinion.
