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?

  • Airport Express as a bridge for cable internet and wifi

    Hello

    My first post and I hope you can help, because I was not able to get a clear answer to my question, but it's perhaps easier to write

    I have an airport extreme for wifi, it's in a piece of my house. Airport extreme, I have an ethernet cable to my living room on the other side of my house. The cable is for my TV. The walls are solid, and I have only weak wifi in my living room. Therefore, I would like to connect an airport express (WAN port) to the cable in the living room, offering a better wifi, and I want to enjoy the internet connection cable between the LAN port in my TV

    the new airport express 802.11n, do the trick?

    Thank you

    Kris

    Yes. You would like to configure the Express to be in a roaming network configuration with your extreme. This would make the Express Ethernet active ports to support your TV.

  • How can I configure my Airport Express to mesh with new cable modem bridge mode?

    Time Warner sent me a new cable modem and my Airport express still flashing orange light. How can I configure the Airport express in bridge mode?

    You can simply do using AirPort Utility on your iMac or iPhone, as follows:

    • Run the AirPort Utility.
    • Select the AirPort Express Terminal and then, select change.

  • Time capsule airport unplug my Airport Express and internet

    Howdy,

    I just brought my Airport Time Capsule of the work. I have the joint via an Ethernet cable to my extreme, both are in my basement. Upstairs, I have a set Express in place to expand the wireless. The extreme and Express worked for many years now.

    Once the time Capsule has been recognized in the public services of the airport, he made an update of the firmware.

    After that, I edited the settings for the time Capsule to my home network and set it to "develop wireless."

    Extreme, Express and Time Capsule all had them green to light up in public services - so I tried to run a Time Machine backup, and things went sour.

    The cable modem the extreme is connected to started to abandon the connection every 30-45 seconds and the Express light went red and there is no longer recognized, so I clicked "forget" to remove it. Time Machine could not locate the time Capsule.

    So I unplugged the Time Capsule, all rebooted and now my extreme and Express up and running again.

    What waste?

    Thank you

    Dan

    After that, I edited the settings for the time Capsule to my home network and set it to "develop wireless."

    I think you probably mean "extend a wireless network".

    This is the bad setting... because it would be used only if the time Capsule connected to your network using Wireless.  You specify the Time Capsule connects using Ethernet.

    Here is what is happening now... the time Capsule waiting for a wireless connection, but he gets an Ethernet connection.  This translates into a huge feedback loop that effectively blocks your network.

    The correct setting for the time Capsule would be "create a wireless network"using the same exact wireless network name, security and password as other Apple routers. " Finally, make sure that the time Capsule is set to run in Bridge Mode before you click Update to save the new settings.

  • Using AirPort Express to stream audio to multiple AirPlay speakers?

    I'm looking to create a room without the need of a receiver wireless.  We have several AirPlay speakers allowed in our room, and I'm looking for a way to audio stream of my Apple TV of new generation for stakeholders.  Article I found online alluded to the idea that this can be accomplished by using an AirPort Express station.  I have a burning question, relating to the installation in the article I found:

    Several allowed AirPlay speakers are connected to the same network (or dedicated) set up on an AirPort Express in client mode (or the appropriate for AirPlay)

    I select this AirPort Express Terminal as a source alternative speaker on Apple TV

    What is going on?  Do all connected then AirPlay speakers receive the audio signal?  I sincerely do not find this anywhere online.  Apple's technical support was not able to answer this question.

    I have an Airport express.  I forward my iPhone airplay and the express has a plug audio mini that connects to my receiver, which in turn divides and distributes the audio channels to the appropriate speakers.

    He cannot receive and transmit audio to multiple airplay speakers.

    You can via a Mac however simultaneously transmit audio to multiple airplay speakers.

    This isn't something that Apple TV is capable.

    Finally do not know what you are trying to accomplish, but transmitting the same audio for all stakeholders would accomplish not something like Dolby 5.1 sound surround.  In the case of different sounds are directed towards the various stakeholders and that separation and management are performed by the receiver.

  • 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.

  • Setting up Airport Express to provide internet to existing network

    Hello

    I want to install the following configuration:

    Router (ISP) < connection cable > Airport Express < Wifi > router primary < cable connection > Network Attached Storage / TV / Playstation

    Is it possible to provide the internet connection to the main router via the express from the airport, that is connected to the Wan? Or the Airport express to be the main router, to use the WAN connection, it connected?

    Hope you find what I want to do ;-)

    Concerning

    Michael

    This configuration will not work... unless the main router is a sort of apple airport. Is it?

    It is a very poor installation, even if you have as a main router apple airport... It's much better to the cable. I'm guessing that's not possible... If not then you another possible way around the problem is adapters EOP (ethernet over power).

    They do not go to work in all situations depending on the power of its wiring in the House... but are better than wireless links when they do.

    You show a (ISP) router to the starting point... what router is it? If that works as a router... None of the other devices must be configured as router... have a primary router means that you have no router in front of her.

    Give us details and we can help you further.

  • Internet connection lost of Airport Express

    I have an Airport Extreme bought July 2013 connected to a modem cable my ISP, Cox. I use an iMac running El Capitan. An ethernet cable to connect the modem cable to the Airport Express Terminal. Lately I lost my internet connection. I have set using the diagnostics of the network in the preferences, network, which brings me to restart the cable modem. That works, but it can last all day, or just for a few hours, and then I lose the internet connection. I called Cox Tech support and the guy said that as long as my cable modem lights remained on the balance, then it must be a problem with Airport Extreme. It also suggests to connect the modem cable directly to the computer. I have already happened up to 14 hours at a time and have not lost the internet connection. This leads me to believe that the problem is with the Airport Extreme. I can do about it before buying another Airport Extreme? Thank you.

    What is the brand and model of the modem provided by Cox Internet? Is this the same modem that you use when you first installed AirPort Extreme? ... and, if so, it has had problems before connecting or just started to happen as shown in your post.

  • Optical Audio Jack on a Terminal Airport Express, which digital optical connector/adapter is necessary?

    Optical Audio Jack on a pattern common Airport Express (model A1392, purchase of 2015) - digital optical connector/adapter is necessary?  My stereo has a TOS connector, but I'm not familiar with the analog/optical socket on the side of the airport.  What type of cable connector does?

    It's called a mini-TOSlink. It has the same dimensions as a headphone jack 3.5 mm, but it is simply a small tube.

  • Express Mystery ethernet airport knocks out internet

    Hello world

    Up to what a month ago my home network worked perfectly until a fault on the line (which was repaired subsequently by an engineer) seemed high.

    Below is a network card in my home airport network. The top-level TimeCapsule Airport (last generation, 3 TB) connects to a VDSL of TP-Link modem.

    The only difference between my current network configuration and the previous network was that I had hard wired the 2 flat (last generation) airport expresses, KN - AEX and LR - AEX, together via ethernet. LR - AEX (salon) was within the scope of top-level wireless airport TimeCapsule (ATC) and KN - AEX (kitchen) expand my network on a lower floor, which had wireless in view of the thick concrete slab between ground and basement.

    Now, as soon as I connect no matter what 2 Airport Express or combination of TimeCapsule / airport express base station together viaethernet seems to knock out my internet connection.

    Anyone have an idea how I can fix this problem? Is this a bug or a wrong setting? Apple support on chaining Airport Express does not seem as if it's been updated for a while. I can't be the only person who needs to have this kind of game, either

    I reset each express and TimeCapsule to factory settings and started from scratch several times. I built the network an express at the same time. It is only when I connected puts it together that I immediately saw the internet connection down (I also tried multiple ethernet cables that I know to work). I fixed the permissions (which seems to fix the infuriating renaming of my main TimeCapsule ATC (2), (3) ATC, ATC (4) etc. in a seemingly random way).

    I am running on an iMac 27 "10.11.3 end 2013 3.4 GHz Core i5, 16 GB of RAM and the merger of 3 TB drive.

    Below shows what happens when an ethernet cable is connected between an airport express and all TimeCapsule (I tried all to see if one of my base stations was defective).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Mike

    Now, as soon as I connect no matter what 2 Airport Express or combination of TimeCapsule / airport express base station together viaethernet seems to knock out my internet connection.

    4 airports in the above figure are configured to connect to the main ATC using a Wi-Fi connection. (The dotted line means a wireless connection network... an Ethernet connection would display as a solid line)

    From the four lower level airports have all been configured to connect using a Wireless connection... it's the connection that they expect... .wireless.

    If you now connect an Ethernet cable to one of these devices (expect wireless)... This action will create a massive feedback loop which will be in effect, the network crash.

    If you want to connect to an airport using Ethernet... you must start over and reset the airport back to the default settings.

    Then, you establish Ethernet connection before that start to set up the device again.  In this way, the "Wizard" will configure the device to connect via Ethernet, and things will work fine on the network.

  • 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.
