Airport Express - speed test slow on iPhone vs iPad

• About Airport Express speed

  So I have an airport express 802.11n 1 St gen. I just had a new place and got a TWC modem with internet high speed 200/20. To maximize the speed of the internet, I bought my router? And if not what device would be capable of managing the total capacity of the modem (the 2nd gen vs extreme). Thank you very much!

  The AirPort Express... the 2nd Gen version... or 1st generation has a 100 Mbps Ethernet port, which would be the theoretical maximum connection speed which is the version of the Express could bring.

  The AIrPort Extreme has a 1 000 Mbit/s Ethernet port, so he won't have any trouble to manage a 200 Mbps Internet connection... and much more if it is higher speeds are available.

  On a 300 Mbps connection here with TWC Internet, AirPort Extreme usually book on 325-330 Mbits / s, indicating that TWC gives more than they promised.

• 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.

• Airport express in the current state only virtual network

  I I currently don't no cable, dsl, or any other wifi in my house. Can I use Airport express the most convenient to use my iPad for Apple TV AirPlay?

  You can configure the express as a router to LAN without connection to the outside...

  It is easier to set up as being offline... and ignore the errors there is no wan connection.

  You must run the Express mode DHCP and NAT... but it will work just fine.

• 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.

• 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.

• Airport Express (1st generation) not connect to iPhone 6 iOS 10.0.2

  I am trying to connect and listen to music from my iPhone 6 iOS 10.0.2 through the music app. My phone does not see the Airport Express Terminal more. All I see is my Apple TV. I can connect to the Airport Express terminal when I use iTunes on my computer. My iPhone is used to connect to the Airport Express Terminal.

  I checked my Airport Express for the updates and it is updated in accordance with the programme of AirPort and PC utility App.

  AirPort Express (1st generation)

  Version: 7.6.7

  I also tried to restart the AirPort Express.

  Any ideas on how to make of this connect on my iPhone?

  Thank you!

• 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?

• 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?

• Can't play music on the AirPort Express to the iPhone 5 s.  Can of Macbook Pro

  Can play music through the AirPort Express using a Macbook Pro and Linksys 11879. Two iPhone 5 see the connection at the airport, but no music. How do we get music using the iPhones?

  Given that your MacBook Pro can broadcast to the Express, we know that AirPlay works.

  By 'See the connection at the airport' do you mean that the two iPhones can see that both the AirPlay icon in the control center AND can see the Express in its options?

• I just bought a new Airport Express Terminal. It connects to my laptop, but not my other devices such as iphone/ipad. Any suggestions?

  I just bought a new Airport Express Terminal. It connects to my laptop and I have working internet, but my iphone/ipad do not work with it. They say they are "connected" to the wireless network but nothing works / charges on other devices. I tried to forget the network, by renewing the lease, etc and nothing works. Any suggestions as to why my laptop works but not other devices?

  What is the serial number and model of the modem you use?... or... The AirPort Express connects directly to the Ethernet wall port?

• 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.

• Extend the iPhone hotspot using an airport express?

  Is it possible to EXTEND - no JOIN - a 6 hotspot iPhone (iOS 9) using an Airport Express station (Terminal AirPort Express 802.11n (1st generation))?

  Sorry, but no.

• iPhone not recognizing only no internet after installing the new cable router attached to the Airport Express Terminal.

  My configuration is modem cable to Airport Express which is connected wireless to a Time Capsule.  I am able to surf with my laptop, it's the iPhone 5 s is no longer is grateful for the internet.

  When I turn off the wifi on the iPhone, Airport utility displays only the Internet icon with the green light. The cable modem has no possibilities of wifi so I do not understand to THE.

  When I turn on wifi, the wifi devices present with green lights and the internet shows a yellow light.

  Through the different ways for a solution.  Power cycling my net and telephone.  Forget this network don't forget the password and I have to choose the wifi and enter a password. Still seeing internet.

  Why should you have the Airport Express? The Capsule is also a WiFi router.
