Airport to Airport utility express extender

I am a little concerned about what I read, trying to research on this problem. She was told that I could extend my wi - fi with a second Airport Express Terminal. But it will not be displayed in the utility. And I read that it extends only to Apple products? I have a Roku flowing from the base station I currently put in place now, but the signal could be firmer. So, I bought a second Airport Express Terminal. He even appears in the utility when it is connected to 20 feet distance. I can't even ground. I don't know that I'm a fool; what Miss me?

I was told that I could extend my wi - fi with a second Airport Express

Don't know what you said, but the Terminal AirPort Express "to extend" wireless if you have another router Apple providing the network that will be expanded. Another way of saying the same thing, it's that if you want to extend the network with an Apple router wireless, you will need at least two of them.

Apple only allows you to wireless to extend the network once, not two.  In other words, if you already have an AirPort Express set in place for wireless to extend the network, you can not extend it again with another Express that connects to the Express, which already is the extension.

Now, if you ask if two devices AirPort Express can extend both a network of Apple, the answer would be Yes.  But so that it works, both Express devices must connect directly to the main router Apple, so they would need to be about the same distance from the 'main '... AirPort Base And... the two expresses would need to be closer to the main airport they are to each other.

For example, you had an airport acting as the "primary" router to the network, and it was located in the middle of your home in rectangular shape.  You might have an express train on the 'left' side of the House to extend the signal in this way and another Express on the 'good' side of the House to extend the network in this way.  The two breaks connects directly to the main router in this type of installation.

And I read that it extends only to Apple products?

Yes, you did. It's right there in the product documentation. If you want an express to "extend" the signal, you must have another router Apple providing the network that will be expanded.

Extend an existing Wi - Fi network.

If you already have a wireless network in your home and want to extend its range, AirPort Express can help. Just place it in the range of your primary base station - an AirPort Extreme, airport Time Capsule or another Airport Express

So, if you could clarify a few things by saying if you have a router from Apple 'major' that provides your network and explain a bit more about what you want to accomplish, we can help.

  • How to extend the range of my Airport Extreme Base Station (802. 11 a, c) using a relay of Airport Express (802.11n).  Airport Utility (V635.2) says that this version does not support the relay.  That is what it is?

    How can I extend the range of my Airport Extreme (802. 11 a, c) using an Airport Express (802.11n) point.  Airport (V635.2) utility does not recognize the Express on its screen?  I have to buy equipment?  I'm on a MacPro OS X 10.10.5.  Thank you.

    AirPort utility that ships with OS X 10.10.5 supports base stations as 802.11ac & 802.11n AirPort. It should be able to configure both of your base stations for a scope (wireless connected base stations) or roaming types (base station connected Ethernet) wireless networks.

    When you initially configure the Wan, it helps to keep the two base stations in the same room. Once configured, you can move the base station that extend to the desired location. The important key is that the final positioning of the station that extends the base must be understood that it's to expand in order to maintain sufficient bandwidth to the station remotely for clients from network connected. Please check the following airport user tip for more details.

    I have an AirPort Express 802.11n (I just got 1st generation) who does not appear in Airport utility?

    The Express flashes an orange light.

    I tried to reset to factory by using a paperclip for a little more than 10 seconds (green LED flashes).

    The Express flashes a light - orange after the reboot - that seems normal to me.

    I use an iPad or MacBook Pro (without port cat 5) set up.

    I would like to extend my WiFi network and stream of music with it.

    Read the manual and did some research but I'm stuck.

    Thank you for taking the time to help...

    NOTE: I also have a second generation version which works very well.

    Let us first make sure that you really have a 1st Gen AirPort Express. To do this, look for the model number on the side of the Express. It is difficult to see, with grey lettering on a white background, but the number starts model with an 'A' followed by four digits.

    You do not want to see A1264... not A1084 and A1088.

  • Airport Utility/Airport Express

    I have an old Airport Extreme and an old Airport Express with the Express connected via powerline and as an access point and using the same SSID as the end.

    The system actually works very well, but my question relates to Airport utility, namely that the Express appears in THE time time, has a Mark Green beside him for awhile, then the exclamation mark in a yellow triangle telling me it "was" part of my network but it is is no longer accessible.

    This depends on the sound being defined as an access point, or is it just a quirk that I should live with?  Have a system that works, but is not able to check by the utility Airport is a minor and of course much better than the reverse drawback but I'm curious to know why this is happening.  Thank you

    AirPort Utility is based on both the mDNS (aka, Hello) and IPv6 IP protocols to find an AirPort base station. Don't forget that both of your AirPort base stations more iMac are configured for IPv6 link-local only.

    • For a Mac: System preferences > network > Wi - Fi or Ethernet > advanced > TCP/IP tab > configure IPv6: link-local only
    • For the AirPort Base Station:
      Note: You may temporarily connect your Mac or PC directly to the base by Ethernet station to access.
      • From a Mac: AirPort Utility > select the base station > change > Internet tab > Internet Options... > configure IPv6: link-local only
      • Since an iOS device: AirPort Utility > tap the base station > press Edit > tap Advanced > tap on IPv6 > change configure IPv6 to: link-local only > Tap actually

    For mDNS, it is a matter of "all or nothing" since OS X Mavericks. Unfortunately, there is no real settings, you can change this.

  • Cannot find the Airport Express Airport utility

    Hello

    I have a firmware running extreme Airport 7.6.7. 6.3.6 and one Airport utility Terminal Airport Express (model A1392). I have access to my system on a Macbook pro. Also have the app on my iPhone.

    My Airport Express and extreme talked to each other and have been broadcast on the Airport utility. However, I had to change my wifi password and the network password. After that, the Airport extreme restarted. After the reboot, my Express was no longer recognized by my network. The Express has a light orange and blinks repeatedly. I can't connect to the express to address the issue of amber light.

    I have read many posts on the forum. However, I still have to find a solution. How to connect the airport utility to the Airport express?

    Thanks for any help, you can make it,

    You have changed the password for WiFi on AirPort Extreme... but... the AirPort Express Terminal was previously programmed to connect by using your password in the "old".  The Express is lost, unable to find the network at all and doesn't know what to do.

    You can help the AirPort Express by doing a hard reset on the AirPort Express to clear the old network settings and passwords, and then configure the Express again to connect to your network 'nine' with the 'new' password.

    After the back if you don't know how to proceed.

  • Why is it not my Airport Express recognized by Airport utility

    I recently bought a second hand Airport Express (2nd generation).  I gave him a second 10 reset, turned and opened the last Airport utility.  The airport reported no signs of an Airport Express, light orange just kept flashing slowly.

    In the end, I tried an Ethernet between my PC and the Airport Express and the device was picked up by the utility, I set to wireless, WPA, password, country, and anything else relevant.  After a power cycle with cable Ethernet has deleted the device worked perfectly, wireless streaming audio for my Hi Fi.

    If I had not had access to a PC with Ethernet I would not not have been able to establish the airport.  My old Airport Express (2nd generation) who bought new is recognized by Airport utility after a complete reset.

    Anyone know what may be missing in the implementation of the recent addition or what might happen here?

    When you say you have tried the 'later' AirPort Utility, it was for a Mac or an iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc.?

    If it's a Mac, after resetting the AirPort Express Terminal, you can get the running "Wizard" configuration by clicking the WiFi menu at the top of the screen of the Mac and then by clicking on the AirPort Express to the title of the announcement of the new AirPort base station.

    If you were using an iOS device, iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc... then you would press to go to the home screen, tap Settings (gear icon), tap on WiFi and tap AirPort Express under the title of the new Station of configuration database

    Did you use one of the methods above to get the configuration "Wizard" running?

    If you simply open AirPort Utility, after that the Express has been reset, it does not appear in the main AirPort Utility... unless you clicked the button other peripheral WiFi and then clicked on the AirPort Express to get the "Wizard" configuration running.  In other words, if the Terminal AirPort Express had already been settled until... it seems utilitarian AirPort. But, you would not have seen it in the main window of AirPort Utility since will appear here only devices that have been implemented.

  • 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?

  • Linking New Extreme old Extreme and Express. New Airport utility does not recognize old Extreme/Express

    I had a linear new extreme connection (connected to the wireless model Cat5) related to the old extreme then Express (newish).

    I would have put in place using airport Utility (for example) 4 years ago and has worked well.

    I changed my wireless modem (formerly broken) but cannot now reconnect the old extreme and express to the extreme again.

    The extreme new connects to internet just fine as long as it is in Bridge mode (does not work in DHCP/NAT mode).

    My real question is the utility software Airport now seems not to recognize the Express extreme or old old to get re-connected.

    The manual of Apple still shows configurations using the old utilitarian approach Airport (with each unit sitting on LHS page)

    If you're still using OS X (10.5.8)... as, you enter in your profile information... then the AirPort Utility in this operating system must be able to recognize the old AirPort Extreme and Express.

    However, if you have updated to a new operating system such as the Mountain Lion (10.8.x), Mavericks (10.9.x), Yosemite (10.10.x) or El Capitan (10.11.x)... and... you have more "round" or version 'dome' in the form of AirPort Extreme, and an old version of the AirPort Express A1084... so, the new version of AirPort Utility is not compatible with older airports.

    So, this would help a lot if we could get clarification from your part...

    (1) what operating system you're using now?  If you are not sure about this, 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.

    (2) what version of the AirPort Extreme you may have.  Is it a 'rounder', or 'dome' in the form of version... or... The "flat" or "square" version? If you have flat or square version, the number of model of the device is required. It is on the lower part of the airport, probably integrated in the base of carpet of MOSS. The model number starts with an 'A' follow-up of four digits. Please post back this information.

    (3) what version of AirPort Express you have?  Please look for the model number on the side of the Express. It is difficult to see, with grey lettering in a certain context, so you need to perhaps good lighting and glasses to discern the number of reading.  As extreme, the Express, model number starts with an 'A' followed by four digits. Please post back this information.

    Once we have the information we need, we know more about how to proceed from this point.

    I use an express train from the airport as an Extender for my airport extreme for the signal wireless at home.  It worked great for months and then a flashing orange started day and gives a wrong address.  I rebooted, reset / hard reset, unplugged and left for days, and nothing does not.  Airport Extreme works very well.

    I read that the unit could have just 'went wrong '.  Please notify.  Thank you.

    Approximately, how old is the Express?

    The Express have an Ethernet port, or both?

    If so, the Express was started in place around the same time?

    The Express connects using an Ethernet cable to the AirPort Extreme, or it connects wireless?

  • Where is the other button Options described in airport utility instructions 6 above?

    I can't find the button "Other Options" mentioned in the 6 instructions for Airport Express Airport utility: how to join an existing in client mode WiFi network... can someone direct me to the right screen?

    If you are using an AirPort Express station with a 3rd party wireless router, the 'Join a wireless network' option should appear automatically when you start the installation program "Assistant".  In the example below, the Express will be configured to join a Uverse wireless network.

    Well that "Client Mode" is never mentioned anywhere in 6.x or 5.x, AirPort utility when the Express is set up to "join" to a network, it is in client mode.  Apple's not exactly makes very clear.

    You may not, but the other Options button down, bottom left of the window in the example above. Choose the option 'Add to an existing network' if the Setup screen does not suggest firstly that the Express will be set to 'join' the network.

    If you are using an AirPort Express station with another router from Apple, the installation wizard will automatically configure the Express to "extend a wireless network. Once the installation is finished, you can go back using AirPort Utility and manually change the setting for the Express ' To develop a wireless network ' to 'Join a wireless network' and then update to save the new settings.

  • AirPort utility

    I just added two AirPort Express units to my Time Capsule to expand my network.  Only one of the AirPort Express units appear in Airport utility, but both have the green light.  How can I find the 2nd Airport Express AirPort Utility?

    It is possible to "extend" by connecting a fast into the Capsule of time using a wired Ethernet cable... which gives best performance... or... by connecting the Express using a wireless connection... which unfortunately will result in a loss of about half of the maximum on the network speed.  With two expresses, the loss will be unfortunately much more.

    You are using Ethernet or wireless to connect Express devices to time Capsule?

    There will be more questions, but to go on the right track until we can make a lot of progress.

    In the meantime... try powering down of the entire network... all devices... in any order you want

    Wait a minute

    Start the modem and let it run for 2-3 minutes

    Starting the device connected to a modem and leaves turn a good minute

    Keep the commissioning of the devices at once a minute outside until the entire network is back

    Recheck the network

    Any change?

  • Is there a better application of configuration of the airport as the Airport utility?

    Utility of the AP does not have options for what he used.  Is there a configuration utility more professional which can be used with the latest AP Extreme, Express and Time Capsule?  For example, the AP utility won't let me configure my extreme from AP to "connect to a network.  The only options are "Create a wireless network", 'Extend a wireless network' and 'Off '.  It WON'T let me set up my Airport Express like that, but I would also do that with my AP extreme, since it is only six feet from the main Internet access (Time Capsule).  I don't really need two transmitters as close to each other and I cannot use Ethernet in this case.

    This is just one example.  If for no other reason, I would like to see what other settings are available with the hardware.  Y at - it a more complete installation utility?

    Y at - it a more complete installation utility?

    Sorry, but no.  More than 3 years ago, Apple has removed 20 + useful features and options of AirPort Utility.

    If you still have an old Mac running Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x), you might be able to use it to look for options of 'missing '.  A PC with the AirPort 5.6.1 for Windows utility may work as well.

  • 2nd airport Extreme not found in Airport utility

    I recently replaced an Airport Extreme 6 years with a new one. The former we worked, but the range of its signal seems to have declined, so we replaced.

    Now the news is up and running without problem. And I would take the old and use it to extend our network. We already have an Airport Express Terminal to expand the network, so this would add another node.

    I moved to its new location and plugged the power cord. It shows the yellow flashing light. However, the old Airport Extreme does not appear in Airport utility. Screenshot attached. There is nothing in the section other devices Wi - Fi.

    ZeroOne_nomap-2 is my new base station. AirPort Express of Sunny was already part of the network. The old base station does not appear.

    Any ideas?

    You must reset the 2nd Gen AirPort Extreme back to default settings, before it can be put in place to expand the network.

    Temporarily, to locate the 2nd Gen airport near the new AirPort Extreme

    Turn on the 2nd Gen airport a few minutes

    Then hold down the reset button on the back of the airport for 5 to 6 seconds then release

    Allow a minute for the airport restart to a slow, flashing amber light status

    Now click the WiFi icon at the top of your Mac.

    Look for an announcement of the new AirPort base station

    Click on AirPort Extreme, just below this list

    Who will get the "Wizard" configuration running. It will take a few seconds to display a screen that looks like this, except that you can see your devices and the network name.

    Type a name you want to call the 2nd Gen airport

    Click next

    The wizard will set up everything for you. When you see an installation message, click done

    Now, turn off the power and pass the 2nd Gen to its new location where it can receive a strong signal from the AiPort Extreme 'hand' and turn on the 2nd Gen airport

  • Airport extreme not recognized by airport utility

    Comcast serves intermittent internet Chronicle, which I think is part of the problem but not all that.  Their router is connected to my Time Capsule., which seems solid, but I've reconfigured several times due to my primary problem.  I bought a new wireless airport extreme (AEX) this year, model A1392 base low, but that has not helped, and in fact the question continues to worsen.  It almost ruined my Christmas day.   I use the AEX to listen to my itunes music on my stereo, as part of the network wifi househol, not a new configuration, and I have another in another room as an Extender that I speak of because it is less important, but has the same problem.  I want my music to work but the AEX continues to fall out of the network.  If I get the orange light flashes the only option I have given is to "Forget this device."  Of course, I wish that gave me the option edit and return to the network, but no.  Forget that the instrument is always bad, because Airport utility will NEVER recognize, any device I restarted many times.  If I go back to the factory settings, utility Airport will allow me to bring back the AEX in my wifi network, but comcast will then intermittent me the new AEX fell, this time with a green light fixed and Airport Utility NEVER acknowledges again.

    I don't know why it should be so difficult.  Apple isn't more fun.  My AEX should integrate easily and always in my wifi network at home.  What is the answer, please?

    What modem router do you have? Make and model please?

    What the Express installation?

    Please give me some screenshots of airport utility showing the contents page and the internet, wireless and network of the tabs.

    Since I understand what is wrong.

    Express does not and was never intended to be used as your main router. This is an auxiliary device to extend wireless, plug in the printer, airplay, etc..

    You more than probably a better router.
