• Airport express to extend wi - fi using the adapter but NOT extreme airport

  Hello

  I am looking to buy an express airport in order to listen to music through my stereo and also create another network wireless upstairs in my house.

  My question is, I currently have no apple down wireless router and I have connected to a line adapter with an adapter of the power line on the floor. If I connect the airport express base station to the adapter on the floor, I'll be able to create another network on the floor as well as the flow of my music, even if the router that comes from the connection is not apple router?

  Thank you

  Andy

  If the floor of the Airport Express will be connected via the WAN port using a regular power adapter ethernet cable carrier online and will be in Bridged mode, you can create a wireless network to the floor. Not bridged mode, you can see double-NAT issues, which should be avoided.

• Can I plug two Airport Express units with ethernet cord and have a third Airport Express Terminal receive airplay music wirelesslly? In other words, can I combine a Wi - Fi network and roaming?

  I have an undesirable on the 1st floor, connected to the cable modem Ethernet event. I want to connect that AE to an another AE on 2nd floor with ethernet cable AND have a 3rd AE on the 1st floor to receive music through AirPlay wireless. I thought that linking the two first AEs with ethernet would improve the performance of web site on my iMac desktop, which is on the 2nd floor and connects to the 2nd floor AE via wifi. The EI the first two are newer model (MC414LL/A); the 3rd AE is old model (MB321LL/A) and is connected to a stereo Bose with a mini-jack to RCA cable double cord. I tried to set up this network using AirPort Utility, but have had no success. I don't know if it is possible to do what I want to do; and if this is the case, I don't know how to set the various parameters for each AE using AirPort Utility. I've temporarily implemented a purely wireless network; Do not connect DO NOT the two AEs with ethernet and everything works. I would enjoy my plan as above, or if I hold with purely network wireless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Using ethernet network roaming between the two floors is a much better idea than anything wireless.

  The installation should be automagical if you start with the two AE plugged in by ethernet.

  It must be configured in standard roaming with identical names wireless.

  If you have any questions... Please, just after the airport utility screenshots of the configuration... but

  An express train is probably the router? You must confirm this.

  The second express is so configured in bridge... It's on the network tab, disable the bridge mode.

  

  Without thread is set to create a wireless network and simply use the same name and the same password as the other Express.

  As it should be automagical when you WAN on the second AE plugged into the LAN on the first AE.

  Wireless and then extend to will also be installed enough well automatically even if sometimes it works better in a client that extend wireless mode.

  See the Client mode.

• I have the network wireless with an extreme airport using my base station that dessert 4 Airport expresses. I want to replace the base station with a time capsule from apple.  Are there specific instructions other that connect the new time capsule

  I have a wired to the internet using my base station for 4 expresses the hard extreme airport.  I want to replace the base station with a time capsule.

  It is also easy to replace the existing base station and adding the name of the network and the password?

  You should be able to transfer your configuration of your current access point to new, and then you would just set up the internal drive, try to look at these articles:

• Airport Express - USB drive not visible in the finder

  I have a brand new Airport Express that I currently use as an Extender for our old time Capsule. I would like to share a USB between computers. The Aiport utility see the drive.

  

  

  However, the Finder does not show the drive.

  In the future this extreme with a USB (mini 4 TB drobo) will be in our caravan to help us to do video editing and blogging with 2 computers on the road.

  Finder are not displayed at the start of the drive, but it should display the AirPort Extreme under the Shared heading in the left side of the Finder window.

  In the example below, my AirPort Extreme (called AEBS) has a drive named 500 GB drive connected to the USB port at the back of the unit.

  

  By clicking on the AEBS, another window displays the name of the player on the right side of the window.

  

  Double-click to mount the drive on the desktop.

  

  Now you can drag and drop files on the disc icon, or open the drive and drag the files into the opened window, which represents the drive.

• Using an Airport Express to listen to music - ethernet cable or not?

  My wife - who bought me an Airport Express 802.11n Wi - Fi for Christmas - was reassured in a certified store to which he would have a wireless connection to my existing wifi to stream spotify on my stereo, but I could not set up like that. According to Apple's Support, the Airport Express must be connected to a modem via an ethernet cable to work, which totally contradicts the advice she was given. This will not work for me - the stereo is in a completely different room for the modem.

  Who is right?

  I can't find clear indications on the web.

  Thank you very much.

  A "modem" , it's just that... a device that connects to the service of your Internet service provider to another router with a wireless Ethernet cable. "modem" does not any signal wireless... only an Ethernet signal.

  A ' modem/router ' or the 'bridge' is a device that combines the functions of a modem and router wireless in one package. It provides a signal of wireless network for other wireless devices can connect to the Internet wirelessly.  The modem/router or gateway also provides several Ethernet ports... usually 3 or 4... for devices to connect in this way as an option.

  An AirPort Express can only connect to a modem using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

  An AirPort Express can connect to a modem/router or Gateway using either a wired Ethernet connection or a wireless connection.

  Who is right?

  It all depends on if you have a modem... .or you have a modem/router, also called a gateway.

  If you do not know what you... then post back with the number of brand and model of the device that you call your modem... and we will try to find what it is you have.

• Airport Extreme is not able to join the network

  I'm trying to implement a repurposed Airport extreme in Bridge mode. Before, I was always able to use the "join the network" option, but now it only gives me the option to create, expand or inactive. I have a model a1521 (6th generation) that I have as my main router. I also have an express airport of old I have in Bridge mode. I am trying to add the a1143 (3rd generation) to the right network and put it in Bridge mode. Is intended to be used as a wireless print server until I can move my printer and the 6th gen at the same location. This option has been removed? am just missing something?

  

  Apple has removed the option "Register" for the AirPort Extreme (and Time Capsule) when it introduced version 6.x of the AirPort with Lion (10.7.3) utility about 3 years ago.

  If you have... or you can borrow for 15-20 minutes... a former Mac under Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with the utility AirPort for Windows installed on the device... you might be able to manually configure the old A1143 AirPort Extreme to 'join' the network using a version 5.x of AirPort Utility.

• Store music on the network drive?

  I am considering a Director to play my music (mp3) stored on a shared network (NT) drive library. The Director can access music stored on the network drive and not on a PC? I don't want to have the PC on when I listen to music. The media to be installed and running server software need a PC for the Director to work? or the Director can access \\DRIVE\DIRECTORY?

  Thank you.

  Ah, so you're saying the multimedia files are on the USB drive connected to your WRT610N? If so, then you don't need a computer or power from the router itself already has a built-in Media Server (Twonky Media Server), which can share the multimedia files on the USB drive to your network.

• Set up a home network on a Vista computer. Added my XP computer on the network. I can go on the internet but the signal strength is 'very low' 98% of the time.

  I used a d-link WBR-1310 Wireless G router to set up the network on my Vista computer.  On my XP computer, I used an adapter G USB 2.0 Wireless d-link WUA-1340.  Both computers are single room apart and most of the time, the doors are open, so there is no major obstacle to interfere with the signal.  This is my first experience on the implementation of a network and I must admit I was a little unsure of myself.  I don't know if I have some incorrect settings or if the problem may be something else.  It is a WEP secure network but I don't think that's the problem.  My XP computer on the network automatically signs as soon as it starts.  I am trying to download the LLTP from Microsoft on my XP machine, but I don't know if this could be the problem.  I've been struggling with this problem for almost 4 weeks and I'm getting very frustrated.

  PLEASE, I WELCOME ANYONE WITH AN IDEA OF WHAT I HAVE DONE WRONG, TO ANSWER!

  I'm sorry, but I read your post and I do not understand what the problem is you want to solve.  Is something that does not properly?  If so, please give us the details: what you're trying to do, what happens when you do that, the text of the error messages, etc.

• Adding a Mac laptop to the network... does not connect

  I admit that I suck at the implementation of wireless networks and I am a silly when it comes to Mac and compatibility, so bear with me.

  I have configured my WRT54GS router dated in our apartment and it connected very well with my desktop running XP.  I set up the WEP keys and gave it to my roommate so that she could access as well.  She's on a new Mac laptop. She typed in the key correctly (the key worked for me) and she gets only a message "cannot connect".  No error message, just that the connection has failed.   My office is running on wireless too (the LILY is in the living room) so I tend to think that this isn't our DSL modem or the router.

  I have to install LELA on his laptop so he can connect?  If so, can I download the driver from the website? In addition, what its firewall blocking the connection?

  Thank you.

• Hello! If you are using an airport extreme and an Airport Express, which must be configured as the primary Base Station?

  I like to keep my extreme in my apartment (which doesn't have an Ethernet port) for reasons of flight. Any tips?

  Given these choices, I would say that you use the extreme as your primary access point.

  However, your comment about no Ethernet port to your apartment. In order to use a base station as your main router, it must be connected to a modem that provides an Ethernet port.

• Help with Airport Express and Configuration capabilities

  I have a new Airport Express which is set to expand the network wireless (created by Time capsule).  Is it possible to also provide a wired connection to another device in this mode?  If so, how do I need to change the settings? The other device is a hub of lighting (not wireless) which must have an Internet connection to allow remote control of lights.  It is currently connected to the CT but its location does not cover a part of the House, the new AE is the perfect place.

  Is it possible to also provide a wired connection to another device in this mode?

  Yes

  If so, how do I need to change the settings?

  Some settings need to be changed. By default, both the "O" WAN port and port LAN <>- both act as LAN ports. Choose one or both to an active Ethernet connection.

  The other device is a hub of lighting (not wireless) which must have an Internet connection to allow remote control of lights.

  Turning off the hub of lighting, make the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express and the hub of power upward. You should be in business.

• 2nd generation Airport express does not not with El Capitan

  My express shares two airport were suddenly disconnected my wifi. Despite the soft resets and reset hard I'm getting nowhere.

  Airport said (6.3.6) utility it is impossible to extend the network, and amber flash units.

  I think that this could have happened when I updated the software to 10.11.3, iMac but I'm not sure. earlier versions of El Cap worked very well.

  I run a Time Capsule and then two Airport Express units off that to extend the network. The two Airport Express are 2nd generation.

  Thanks in advance

  Make sure that the Time Capsule is not save at the time and then pull the power cord to the back of the unit or remove the plug from the AC outlet

  Wait 10 to 15 seconds, and then turn on again time Capsule and let it run.

  Temporarily move an AirPort Express Terminal in the same room or in immediate proximity to the time Capsule. Power off of the 'other' AirPort Express for now.

  Perform a hard reset on an AirPort Express Terminal by pressing the button of reset for 5-6 seconds while the airport was turned on for a few minutes. Release the reset button and allow a minute for the AirPort Express restart to a slow status of amber light flashes.

  Rerun the Setup program on the AirPort Express

  If things set up correctly, turn off the AirPort Express and move to the desired location, and then turn it upwards.

  Turn on the second AirPort Express Terminal, perform a hard reset on the device and set up again as you did the AirPort Express.

• 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.
