Airport Express has stopped working

I've had my Express for about 8 years now and it has continued to become slower and slower for a wireless internet connection. I tested the speed with a speed test wireless online and on-line decision-making. Direct I get around 50MBPS and through the Express, I received only around 10 Mbps. I did this test a few days ago! Yesterday my Mac couldn't even recognize it even if the light on the Express was green. It of time for a new wireless router, or is there something I can do to solve the problem?

Older versions of the AirPort Express had a useful life expectancy, on average, about 3-4 years.  5 years of use was much better than the average, so if you're 8 years old, you should Pat yourself on the back for your very good luck and reward yourself with a new router.

If you want to keep the old Express, so about all you can do is reset to default values and then put in place again to see if that would help the Express perform a little longer.

If you run an operating system recent on your MacBook Pro, like Lion, Lion mountain, Mavericks, Yosemite, etc., it is possible that AirPort on your Mac utility is even more supports the version of the Express you may have. To see if this could be a problem...

Check to locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express Terminal. It is difficult to see, so you need to perhaps good lighting and reading glasses. The model number starts with an 'A' follow-up of four digits.  Post back with that info

To check what operating system you use on your Mac...

Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on about this Mac and post back with the Version of OS X number that you see there.

    • Soft reset: perform this reset if you forget your password.  Soft reset resets your password and disables security settings (settings of access control and RADIUS are temporarily interrupted). Forget the password would normally prevent connection or device configuration. If you make no changes within five minutes to do a soft reset, the unit will return to its former State. All the parameters of the device will be available once it has rebooted.
    1. Connect the device to the power supply and wait for it to complete its startup process.
    2. Press in and hold the reset button with a pen, a pencil or paper clip straightened for 1 full second, then release it. The lamp (LED) starts amber flashes, indicating that the unit is in soft reset mode.
    3. In the airport menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
    4. Open utility AirPort from Applications > utilities.
    5. Select the base station, and then click on edit (editing window indicates that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
    6. Move tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, then click on update and continue, as requires it
    7. Quit AirPort Utility.

  • Add a second macbook air, now the airport extreme has stopped working

    I got a new (for me) 2012 macbook air to replace my MBA 2010 last night. I had another macbook air on the network to download some files in iCloud. As soon as I started the MBA new upward across the network crashed. (Features were always connection ac Airport Extreme router, green light, but no internets).

    Restart the router helped briefly before the problem comes back. When I connect with the new MBA, I had seen an error there are two Macbook Air on the network and it was changing the name of one of them.

    I read somewheres that download great traffic and a lot of features sometimes overwhelms the airport extreme (huh? not very extreme), so I made the turn power off the wireless on iPad, apple tv and the old MBA. This, most reboot the router and the modem seemed to do the trick for a while, until that there no more.

    I read around DiscoveryD and the problems with Hello. Will try this angle when I go home.

    I see here that maybe I need to reset (rather than just reboot) my router now that there's a new kid on the block - the new MBA.

    Any other ideas?

    Where did you got your 'new' MacBook Air? Apple or an evening private? If the latter, it can be configured as such not "play well" with your existing home network. If you have received this by a private party, I strongly suggest you reload a clean version of the feature of MacOS X. In this way you will start with a Mac "out-of-the-box" and should have an easier time getting connected to your network without problem.

  • Network of comments Airport Extreme (7.7.3) has stopped working

    Our network of comments Airport Extreme (7.7.3) has stopped working.  We moved offices and even if my MacBook Air (13-inch mid-2013, El Capitan 10.11.3) can see the two networks, the option of comments does not connect to internet at all.  I did a reset of the Airport (essentially started above) and always the option of comments does not connect.  All software are up to date.  AAACCCKKKKK!

    You probably had AirPort Extreme to the old office set up as a router to provide DHCP and NAT services for the network.

    Now, the AirPort Extreme in the new offices may have probably been implemented in Bridge Mode to work correctly with the "new" network  If this is the case, then the guest network will not work correctly when the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.

    Check this option as follows:

    Open Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility

    Click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

    Click on edit in the window that appears

    Click on the network at the top of the next window tab

    Check the settings for the router Mode.  Is is "Off (Bridge Mode).

    If so, the guest network is unable to function properly in this environment.

    Outlook express delete failed

    The delete button has stopped working in Outlook Express 6. Empty the file deletion was without help. How can I make it work again? Also I can't manually move an email in the folder to delete.  Any suggestions?

    Your deleted items folder is probably corrupted.  Close OE and delete the deleted items.dbx file.  OE will make a new and that should fix the problem.  Its a good time to save your messages if the records are get damaged.  You may lose all your messages.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6

I tried it on several computers and failed on all three.

  • Hello has stopped working. How can I solve this problem?

    I have a notification (security) that Hello has stopped working and that there is a way to fix it.  Does anyone have an idea about it.

    Hello

    Hello is the implementation of Apple of Zero Configuration Networking Standard. Hello for Windows includes a system Service that helps applications to discover shared services on the local network, the printer Discovery Wizard and IE plugin to discover local Web servers.

    If you install Windows Hello manually, the more likely reason is that it has been installed by an application that relies on the features of Hello. For example:

    iTunes uses Hello to find shared, music libraries to find AirPort Express devices for streaming music to and find the Apple TV.

    Follow the steps in the article for more information about how to remove the Hello from your computer.

  • My Airport express has had a solid orange light for a week. How can I fix this?

    My Airport express has had a fixed Orange light on in for about a week. When I click on it it says "it was part of my network" and to "ensure that it is still in the range and plugged in an outlet."  I tried this - does not change. I unplugged the main base station and then plugged it in. It also did not work.

    My operating system is OS X 10.9.5

    Thanks for any help.

    Sorry, but you can't 'fix' it. A status LED light amber solid that would indicate a power or another failure of the base station. There is no serviceable parts by the user, that you can replace.

    If the product is less than 1 year, Apple will replace the unit for you... or... If you have AppleCare implemented on a registered product, the AirPort base station is covered up to 3 years from the date of purchase.

    If you have an Apple Store near you, take the base station for them. Otherwise, contact the Apple directly to http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ Support

  • Windows Media Player 11 has STOPPED WORKING... XP AND Vista problems

    I have a home network with computers XP and Vista.   Computer XP is Dell Dimension 4600.  Vista computer is HP Pavilion Slimline.

    On or about 6/10, WMP 11 on the Vista computer has stopped working properly.  Video will not play digital video (mpeg format), previously working but playing the audio from the file and the timer updates the video plays.

    Attempt to update the codecs (K-Lite).  Didn't help... now, the native multimedia player K-Lite is the same way.

    Deleting updates 6/10 and later versions.  No change.

    System restore of flowing it at 6/9, 6/5, 6/4.  Restoration is back with "unexpected error".  The logs show a NTFS corrupted and suggested chkdsk run.  Filled with chkdsk c: /R with NO ERRORS.

    Ran SFC/scannow on Vista machine.  He said "no violation of integrity.

    Today (6/14), WMP 11 on XP machine has stopped working.  Videos will be running, but are extremely hectic, like something, it's stealing time CPU; However, the system idle process is higher than 90%.

    What the hell is happening?

    EDIT TO add: I want to stress something else... Movie Maker on both machines still work.  Videos can be imported into and read correctly.

    I had things market... Finally.

    I have none of the above.  I do not have the installation diskettes (OEM on a computer HP... no disks provided with the machine, have only the recovery disks that I made when I configured the system).

    So until I went looking for a set of discs that I use, I did the following... and I * think * I know I could fix it, but I do not know...

    I have re installed the K-Lite codec pack... only of video codecs.  I essentially took the video installation by default EXCEPT... I turned off video acceleration.  Intel Express Chipset not allow me to disable hardware acceleration by using its own GUI and Windows Vista would not touch parameters of acceleration as Intel ordered to them.  Well, I suppose that K-Lite has been able to do what could not do Windows and Intel wouldn't let me do.

    Don't know if that was the fix or not, but everything works now.

  • display driver has stopped working and recovered

    In my laptop, I get a message from the display driver has stopped working and my screen goes black and crash suddenly

    Details of my laptop are
    Compaq 620
    Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit
    Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T6570 2.10 GHz
    Display map Mobile Intel(r) 45 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
    Hitachi HTS545032B9A300 ATA Device driver
    Display Mobile PC screen 1366 * 768

    Help, please

    I would start by removing the current driver and installing the latest driver available.  (yours is 5 years old)

    "It is not a true crash, in the sense that the blue screen was launched only because the combination of material and video driver video was to be insensitive and not because of any exception processing synchronous".

    Since Vista, the components of "Timeout detection and recovery" (TDR) of the subsystem video OS have been able to do some really impressive things to try to find issues that would have led to the earlier OS like XP to crash.

    As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends a video driver command "Please restart you now!" and wait a few seconds.
    If there is no answer, the BONE concludes that the combo of driver/hardware video has really collapsed in a heap, and it fires at this stop 0 x 116 BSOD.

    If playing with video driver versions did not help, make sure that the box is not overheated.
    Try to remove a side panel and a fan of big sector directly to the motherboard and GPU.
    Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to check whether the cooler temperatures make a difference.

    If so, it could be as simple as dust accumulation and inadequate cooling afterwards.

    I download cpu - z and gpu - z (both free) and keep an eye on the video time

  • GMA x 3100, random crashes because igxprd32 has stopped working

    I have r61i, windows xp pro 32-bit and intel express chipset with integrated graphics gma x 3100 965. The problem is that at random intervals my computer freezes and goes to 640 x 480, 256 colors and a warning that igxprd32 has stopped working. After the reboot, all right. This problem occurs randomly, sometimes when I wathc movies, play games... maybe once a month or more...

    but now I have bougt garage game The Movies, and whenever I start to play the game, it gives this error. not in the menu, but when I try to drag a person to recruit him.

    I changed all the drivers, the reinstalled etc... the only thing I have not tried is the former lenovo driver which I can't find (ive been using drivers intel for a few months). With the newest driver graphic Lenovo problem also occurs.

    I have the same configuration it had when I bought it... don't add any ram, HDD changed etc...

    Thank you for your help.

    Looks like I solved the problem. install help plu video driver. at least with The Movies.

    But will still runs two weeks, watch videos and maybe play other games so I'll be at 100% is really the sollution.

    strange, more old driver, better performance. There may be a few drop of performance with other games, but what I can do.

    I hope just as the guys of at intel will write some drivers without problem. :/ but since this extends the problem for a while now, I just think it wont happen.

    Oh, I'm currently almost 2-year pilot. Laughing out loud.
