Airport express base station at will without connect to airport extreme

I tried to get my airPort Express to connect to the extreme via my iphone using the application configuration of the airport. He finds the express and he knows I have the extreme. I said I want to extend my current network and finds it units, but I receive and message error "an unexpected error has occurred" try again, I tried several times but to no avail.

Is your goal to have the Express to extend the reach of the extreme wireless using a wireless connection between them? If so, temporarily bring the Express in the same room that the extreme and then, use your iPhone AirPort Utility to try setting them up again. Please post back your results.

  • The Apple AirPort Express Base Station is a good solution?

    I'm moving so leaving the wifi station that Verizon gave me. I think I have the Apple AirPort Express Base Station by station WiFi. I connected an iMac (main computer) MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone.

    My main question is how this used for the WiFi base station compares to others on the market.

    Thank you!

    Johnny

    The AirPort Express has limited the ability of speed due to its slow and limited capacity wireless Ethernet port due to its very small built in WiFi antennas.

    However, if the plan of your new Internet Service Provider (ISP) is limited to about 50 Mbit/s, then the Express would probably be OK if most wireless devices will be located near the AirPort Express Terminal.

    If the budget allows, an AirPort Extreme is a much better product... up to 10 times the speed of the Express... with additional WiFi antennas located just above the 'tour' to improve performance.

    If your new ISP plan is 100 Mbps or higher, then AirPort Extreme would be a better match.

    If you are considering other routers from other manufacturers... we cannot comment at all on their performance without knowing the number of brand and model of the device you are considering.

  • Why is the signal to my airport express base station weaker?

    My airport express base station to base station (part number MC414LL/A) has worked well for the first 3 years, but now has a weaker signal is no longer covers the apartment. The location has not changed and we have not added all of the devices that could create interference.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    3 years... average... is on when the internal of food inside the Express starts slowly the head downhill, so maybe it's a factor here.

    If you don't have already done, power off the AirPort Express for a few seconds, then put it to the top. When you start the Express, it will automatically scan all channels use wireless sector and select the best channel to use both.  If you live in a crowded environment, you may have to restart the AirPort Express on a regular basis.

    If there is no improvement after a few reboots of the Express, on what you can do at this point is to reset the device back to the default settings and then set up again to see if a new beginning offers some improvements in the intensity of the signal.

  • Drives and airport Extreme Base Station to disconnect after connection to the VPN

    At home when I'm on WIFI, everything works fine. At the moment where I connect to the VPN to do office work, the base station will disconnect and accessible either.

    Any help?

    The problem you are experiencing is perhaps due to the type of VPN tunnel that you use to connect to your workplace. There are basically two types: 1) full or partial) 2. Note: The different VPN clients can use other words, but these are usually options when you set up a tunnel.

    When you use a complete tunnel, all traffic between your computer and the VPN of your working server, through the tunnel. No traffic is allowed on your local network, and therefore, all local resources are not available. With a partial tunnel, your computer data traffic, may as well go through the tunnel and also to your local network. One reason to use a partial tunnel, for example, is that you have a local printer, you need to perform printing. You can be connected to this type of tunnel for access to the documents and then, be able to print on this printer... otherwise, with a tunnel of full, you would print to a printer at your place of work.

  • implemented 2012 Airport express base station

    I have an Airport Express from 2012. I got my imac computer main "erased" to remove something so starts from scratch. It is connected to my main use of the airport. My question is: how to reconnect my Airport express if I get wifi using my computer laptop macbook in a remote part of my house again? Do I have to download an earlier application for this Airport Express 802.11n Wi - Fi? Via itunes? Thanks for any help.

    You don't need legacy applications (v5 airport utility will be fine as is v6) for any airport Wireless-N.

    Factory, you should reset the Airport Express Terminal and re-do the installation.

    How to reconnect my Airport express if I get wifi using my computer laptop macbook in a remote part of my house again?

    You must configure the express by ethernet to extend wire... which means that it creates a wireless network with the same name as the main router.

    Or extend you to wireless... which means that you must have an existing Apple wireless router... extend wireless in apple routers is configured owner.

    Tell us what is your main router... or if you have an airport which model and we can give more detailed instructions.

  • Update at the same time several Airport base stations?

    Hello

    7.6.7 airport firmware has been released. We have 20 + Airport Express base stations in my school, and now I have to select them one by one and update the firmware. I can still do something in Airport utility while a base station is updated. This takes forever. Is it possible to update the firmware on both base stations?

  • Got an Airport Extreme, you want Airplay with Express?

    Hello. I have an old Airport Express (the one that plugs into the wall) and recently replaced with an Airport Extreme. We love it, and our speed is more limited, but now we do not have our AirPlay speakers. I want to return and I was wondering if there was anyway I could have the Airport Express set up JUST for AirPlaying these speakers. I'm not all devices to try to get internet from this slower base. The two airports would be less than 3 feet on the other. Is this possible? To make the only function of the airports for Airplay while being able to play through our existing Airport Extreme network? They would interfere with each other?

    I have an old Airport Express (the one that plugs into the wall) and recently replaced with an Airport Extreme.

    The old 802.11 g (model # A1084) and the 1st generation 802.11n (model # A1264) AirPort Express base stations look identical. Which do you really?

    ... but now, we don't have our AirPlay speakers. I want to return and I was wondering if there was anyway I could have the Airport Express set up JUST for AirPlaying these speakers.

    Yes, you can have the Express configured to join the network wireless to the extreme as a wireless client. Since the Express will be a wireless client that it will behave like any other client on the network. In other words, it won't be a wireless broadcasting, nor as a router.

  • Problem with SlingTV through Airport Extreme?

    I have a Motorola SB6141 cable modem, internet of Time Warner and an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (later) for my setup. While SlingTV is not a great service, it was $ 20 a month and gave me what I need and has been much better than that Time Warner was in charge me for the same channels.

    Despite the problems of freezing SlingTVs or what not, for a while it worked. But one day a few months back it just stopped working. When you open the app, it either does not open or just turns and turns to be forgotten and never access the content. But if I try on my phone (Verizon LTE), or another network outside my apartment with the iPad or computer laptop, it works. So at home, I tried to go directly from the cable modem and right in the Apple TV (previously an Xbox) and when I do that it works. So really what it boils down to, is my Apple Airport Extreme Base Station router. If I'm either directly connected to the Airport Extreme Base Station (Apple TV ethernet to the router), it will not work, or if I use WiFi via the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station it will not work. But directly to the modem cable or on any network outside of my home, the service works.

    So in short, something about setting up Apple isn't allowing the Sling TV app to open or work on any device. I even did a rest of the plant and installing my Apple router once again, and the same problem persists.

    FYI - I use Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and all the Apple TV, TV shows, rental movies and content without ever having a problem with opening or streaming. This only happens with SlingTV when you try to access content on any device (iPad, Apple TV, Xbox One, iPhone, Macbook Air) via WiFi or Ethernet via Apple Airport Extreme.

    I tried to provide all the little details that I could. If someone could please provide a solution I would really really appreciate it! Thank you.

    Well first of all try to port forwarding. Slingbox I guess would use a similar to SlingTV montage... Unfortunately when I google for it I see just people having so many questions like you... no rigging, no answer they give up.

    http://PortForward.com/English/routers/port_forwarding/Apple/AirPortExtreme/Slin gBox.htm

    It is the old airport of model, but the idea is correct.

    If you still have questions... There is a major problem... port 5001 is used by the airport for its installation...

    If I run a scan of port of network utility, that you will find that it is already used.

    Port scan started...

    Host port scan: 192.168.2.201

    Open TCP Port: 5001 commplex-link

    Open TCP Port: 5009 winfs

    Port scan has completed...

    My recommendation is to replace the airport as your main router... Something good market like the C5 TP-Link or the WR1043ND which is less than $50US. These routers use UPNP is missing on the airport. Continue to use the airport for your customers to apple as WAP and switch.

    BTW: this is no bad thing because you also have a known problematic modem... SB6121 and SB6141 have major problems... do a quick search and you can find a lot of posts about this.

    TWC has also now use IPv6... that can ruin.

    See the instructions for installation (same as comcast for TWC).

  • Installation of Airport Extreme for Motorola gateway?

    I was hoping someone may be able to help me go through the steps required to configure my Airport Express base station (new) new gateway of Motorola Surfboard SBG 6580 (Cox is my ISP). My main machines are a mid 2010 21.5 "iMac under OSX 10.8.5 and a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro running OSX10.10.5

    The research I did, I know that I will need to disable the features wireless on the bridge and run an ethernet cable from one of the WAN ports to the Airport express. I wonder if it's just a matter of going in my router settings and turn off the wireless, so I can just use it as a modem, or is there something else I need to turn off while I'm in these settings?

    I've got also a Netgear wifi extender used in my current set up, but I hope I won't need more once I created the Airport extreme, but if I need, it would be compatible with the Airport extreme?

    I'll always be able to use other ports WAN ethernet on the motorola, once the most extreme airport is set up? I ask because I currently use all 4 ports on the motorola, and the Airport extreme has only 3.

    Finally, I would like to use the same name as my current wireless network, there will be no problem with that, and I'll be able to hide my network name, like I currently do? I think it's an option "do not broadcast" currently so it doesn't show up for people to scan for wireless networks

    Devices that use my wifi are for most Apple products with the exception of a HTC smartphone, a stick of fire from Amazon and a smart TV.

    Thanks in advance for any help/tips

    Jeff

    Unless you really need to disable the gateway wireless, you may configure your network easier by defining just two to a network roaming type .

    However, before thinking about this, it would be useful if we understood what your networking goals are for these devices. Also, can you please give the model numbers exactly for each of your AirPort base station you want to use in your network.
