AirPort Express will not set up

It must be the 10th right now - all I'm trying to do is to add an AirPort Express Terminal to my home network, with the aim mainly attaching an external hard drive to it.

I have a BT HomeHub 5. Whenever I open AirPort Utility on my iPhone, iMac or MBP, I see the AirPort Express, start the installation, select "Add to the existing network", continue with the rest of the installation.

After awhile, it sets up, I press "done" and it appears in AirPort Utility window. If I change the settings on the airport, it crashes and I have to click on "forget" and do a reset.

The same thing happens if I connect my external hard drive to it.

The craziest thing: closure of the AirPort Utility application and reopening apparently cause the EPA have a yellow triangle next to him and I have no choice but to press on "forget", and the whole cycle repeats again.

It's very frustrating...

all I'm trying to do is to add an AirPort Express Terminal to my home network, with the aim mainly attaching an external hard drive to it.

A potential problem here is going to be that an AirPort Express will NOT support a hard drive... as the USB port on the Express only supports a compatible USB printer.

-What are you trying to do?  Alternatively, your hard drive will connect to the AirPort Express using wired Ethernet?

The next issue will be 'how' you are trying to connect the AirPort Express Terminal to the HomeHub.  The Express will connect wireless only, or it will connect using wired Ethernet wired, Permanent?

(Your screenshot indicates that the Express use a wired connection to the Hub).

  • my airport express does not extend to my network

    Hello to you all guru out there...

    I 5g internet and comes with the router and signal is fantastic in the main lounge, but it is a large apartment and once I get my room the signal decreases considerably.

    I bought an Airport Express and it connects to the wifi perfectly, green light and everything, but it does not extend my wifi network...

    Do I need to have another Aiport Express hooked up to the main router, then extend the Airport Express wifi or should I get an Airport Extreme?

    Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Do I need to have another Aiport Express hooked up to the main router, then extend the Airport Express wifi

    Yes, the "main" AirPort Express should be connected to your router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanently. This Express will be set to "create a wireless network.

    Other Express your distance can then be configured to "extend a wireless network.  In its current form, your existing Express is configured to "join a wireless network.  It will work for AirPlay like that, or allow you to connect a supported USB printer, but it cannot extend a network provided by a third-party router wireless.

    Regarding matching them things, it would make sense to use two airport expresses, or the two extremes of the airport.  The extreme might be your "primary" router if you wanted to, but the Express would not be able to expand the capacity of faster speed to the extreme.

  • Airport Extreme will not read Time Capsule trying to create network roaming

    I have read all the forums on that alone and became frustrated. I am creating a roaming network for a time at an airport extreme capsule. I followed the directions of countless times without success. Time Capsule is set to DHCP and Nat, while the extreme is in Bridge Mode and has the exact same name and password network settings. Now, I have to say that the ethernet cable connecting is extremely long (well over 100 meters) and I know that the connection will degrade, some, but my lap top is able to capture the signal when I connect it directly to the cable coming from the time Capsule, so I know that the cable works. In fact, this is how I am writing this post right now! My problem is that the Airport extreme will not even read the time capsule at all. Can someone help me please? A friend told me that I might have to configure the router second to accept the connection at a slower pace? I don't know what that means. Sorry to be a pain.

    has the exact same name and password network settings.

    Just to double check that you mean the password and the name of wireless... not the base station name and password the names of base station must be different.

    Now, I have to say that the ethernet cable connecting is extremely long (well over 100 meters) and I know that the connection will degrade, some, but my lap top is able to capture the signal when I connect it directly to the cable coming from the time Capsule, so I know that the cable works.

    To the limit sometimes the gradient exceeds just slower... it does not connect.

    If you check the laptop goes to the Advanced preferences network ethernet to the last tab has the speed dropped to 10Mbit? The extreme is not able to go as low automatically... and unfortunately there is no controls for the later models.

    What model is your extreme?

    If it's a Gen5 or an earlier version... you can use older airport utility to set the speed of the wan port. This feature is removed from models later, of course... and the AU later so does she. If you can go try it using full duplex 10mbit. If that works try 100mbit full duplex, but you might find it's too fast.

    A friend told me that I might have to configure the router second to accept the connection at a slower pace?

    Your friend has a good idea.

    I would have cut the cable in the middle... and put an end to both ends. Then place a switch on the line (not a router). A switch is a bit like an amplifier. It is to retransmit the signal so it can go another 100M...

    The other issue is on pairs... If you have installed this cable yourself and terminated yourself you were affecting the pairs?

    Ethernet is delicate to the wire because of its origins as the wiring phone... where the Center pair is for the phone.

    MacBook won't connect to the Internet via long cable?

    Here is a very similar problem to yours... was bad ethernet endpoints. Break the pairs at your own risk.

  • Outlook Express - will not let me delete any message

    Outlook Express will not let me delete all messages?  How can I fix?  Thank you!

    You have corruption of dbx files.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    My Airport Express will randomly start flashing orange and I have to unplug it to make it back to the green. Wifi continues to operate even when the light is orange flashing. Anyone know why this is happening?

    The next time you see the flashing light amber...

  • I lost my WiFi signal after having placed a time Capsule in the system. Now the Airport Extreme will not recognize the system. Any ideas?

    Any ideas on why my Airport Extreme will not recognize the system after the integration of the time Capsule in my system? Continues to have a flashing yellow light after trying all suggestions of technicians from the Apple Store and Internet provider.

    Since we don't know all what has been tried, we will have to start from the beginning if you don't mind.

    What exact models are your AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule? What is the brand and model of your modem Internet? I'll assume that Extreme is your "main" router and is directly connected to the modem by Ethernet... correct?

    Do you have the Time Capsule (TC) connected to the extreme, by wire or wireless? What is your goal for the TC? In other words, will not be used to extend the reach of the extreme wireless?

  • Airport Express do not reset

    My parents have a problem with their Airport Express (latest generation, redeemed in 2014).  We had a storm yesterday and dropped their internet.  I went to try to reset their router, but it will not reset at all.  The indicator light remains just orange/amber and when I try to do any sort of reset (soft, hard, factory) there's just orange/orange and never flashes as it should when it is set to zero.

    Is this thing toast?

    Would not be the end of the world as they asked me how to get a better signal in the yard and told them that probably they needed a larger router.  Nature may have forced this issue.

    Unfortunately, a solid amber status LED light seems to indicate a power supply for the base station. If you have already tried all types of reset, the chances are very good, as the storm has damaged the device and must be replaced. Sorry!

  • Airport Express does not work

    I need help. I have an Apple Airport Extreme and extend it with an Apple Airport Express. One day I needed to my extreme, which I did, forward port (which was for the xbox, and I followed this: Xbox NAT open (Apple routers)) I then updated my Airport Extreme. Subsequently, my Express glows green but it does not actually give a signal, I stay connected to the extreme, so I tried to use ethernet with the Express, and who won't let me connect to the Internet. So, I need help.

    If the Express was created to connect to the AirPort Extreme using a Wi - Fi connection, and you later connected to an Ethernet cable to the Express... that creates a huge feedback loop that actually blocks the network provided by the Express.

    You will need to restart and reset the Express back to default settings, then set up again.

    If you want the Express to connect permanently at any time to the extreme by using an Ethernet cable, then you must establish this connection before you implement the Express again. The Ethernet cable can never be disconnected.

    If you want to Express to extend the wireless network, then you use an Ethernet cable to the installation.

    If you need more tips, post back to let us know what operating system your Mac is running or you use a PC or an iPhone / iPad to configure things.

  • Airport Express does not connect to WiFi!

    My Airport Express has lost its connection to the WiFi and cannot reconnect, keeps flashing yellow!

    It is only used to stream music from my iPad and not connected via ethernet. Its working well for 2 years until he lost the connection to my iPad because I took the iPad out of range of WiFi. Now, I can't get the the airport to connect to the WiFi again.

    I tried to reset button Reset 20 sec, also tried turning setting turned off and now the reset button for a maneuver on once again, however, does not. Any ideas?

    Gorm.

  • 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.
