Can I connect a switch to my Airport Express 1st gen?

Hi Experts,

I was wondering if I'll be able to connect a switch 8 ports to the ethernet port on my AirPort Express?

My current setup is the D-Link router/Modem > airport Time Capsule <> AirPort Express

So I've matched the AirPort Express to the Capsule to expand my network.

FYI: AirPort Express is 1st Gen model.

Thank you.

Tony

If you really have a 1st version of the AirPort Express Gen (see note below *)... and you have configured to connect to the time Capsule using Wireless 'add a wireless network', then the Ethernet port is active and you can connect a switch to the Express.

Don't forget that the Ethernet on the Express port is only 100 Mbit/s capable, so even if you could have a 1 000 Mbps or Gigabit switch, the speed will never be higher than 100 Mbit / s.

* A 1st Gen Express is A1264 model number. Look on the side of the Express to locate the model number. Hard to see, with grey lettering on white background.

  • Can not update the settings on the Airport Express

    Currently have a facility - two extremes and an Express network.  I for the life of me can't update the Express settings. I always get an error message but I can update the settings on the two extremes very well. I can make changes to the Express with my Iphone but I can't with my Imac.  I want to activate the function of 5 GHz but I can't do that via my Iphone - with the desktop app I think.  Can someone help me?

    Let's first check and make sure that on which Airport Express version you have.

    Your version of the AirPort Express is there only 1 or 2 Ethernet ports?

    The Express to connect to your network and extend it wireless?  Alternatively, the Express connects to one of the extremes airport using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

    Then, I would be not too concerned of not being able to 'see' the Express of the iMac as long as you can access the settings of the iPhone. You can make almost any change using the iPhone you can use a Mac.

  • is connectable peripheral wps to the Airport express

    I have a wps camera and a media player that is connected to my network. I want to buy the Airport express just because airplay. can I connect my wps to airport express devices?

    Yes, you can, assuming that the AirPort Express is set up to create a wireless network. This means that it must connect to your router wirelessly existing using wired Ethernet fixed, permanent and be configured to use the same wireless network name and password as your 'main' network

  • Can I extend 2 networks with an airport express

    So if I have a router dual-band simultaneou to address AirPort Extreme and an airport express base station simultaneous dual-band, can I extend the two netwoks with just an Airport Express or do I have two?

    When you lay it wireless, the link will only exist on a single Strip... but the Express will use the two bands to connect clients.

    If you want to force connections to 5 GHz then you will normally need to use two extensions... for 2.4 ghz and 5 GHz... but I do not recommend this type of installation.

    You should tell us a bit more to understand the issue.

  • How do you connect a (very) old Apple Airport Express to a new Airport Extreme network?

    For Bob Timmons:

    I have 2 old airport expresses, an old and one even older. The network home fled the old Express (connected to a modem), who abandons the connection several times a week. The older Express seems quite dead. What I want to do is to increase wifi coverage in my house (no wifi in the kitchen or the 3rd floor). I buy an Airport Extreme to manage the network, hoping that it would provide wireless coverage in my blind spots. Then I could use the former, Express work next to my stereo to listen to the music of my iMac.

    However: the new airport utility shows but does not interact with my work Express. If I buy one extreme and put in place, how I can add the Express network. I downloaded 5.6.1 (and launcher) Airport utility, but don't know if I can use 6.3.6 to implement extreme and 5.6.1 Configure Express.

    Any thoughts on this would be welcome.

    Sorry, I forgot to ask: even if the Airport 6.3.6 utility on the iMac refuses to 'see' the Express, would be the iPad method you mentioned work with an older Express?

    The model numbers of my expressed are:

    work: A1084

    a death: A1264

    Well, if A1264 is dead, it is the end of the discussion on this model.

    A1084... assuming it works... could probably be used for AirPlay, but the A1084 calls this AirTunes.

    The A1084 is at least 9 years old, probably older and the average useful life of an AirPort Express is about 3-4 years. It is amazing the A1084 to work at all, but school drop-outs you see now with the Express indicates that it is heading for the South, he may not be around much longer.

    If you want to try using the A1084 Express, it can be implemented and administered using an older version of AirPort 5.x on a Mac or a PC utility. No matter which version of AirPort 6.x...or.. utility. AirPort on an iPhone or iPad utility may NOT be compatible with the A1084 Express.

    If you are considering a new AirPort Extreme... and... or buy at Apple, so you have one day 14 return privilege on the product, if it will not do what you want, you can return it for credit or a return.  The older A1084 expected to collaborate with the new AirPort Extreme if you spot a version 5.x of AirPort on a Mac or a PC utility to configure the product.  But... saying "should work" is not the same thing as saying "work"... then it will be one of those moments where you won't know how well... or even if it will work until you try.

  • Why I can't connect to sqlplus but not EM express or SQL Developer with sys account?

    Hello

    I am running in a strange situation. Any help is appreciated!

    I have an Oracle 12 c database shared running on my local computer. I can connect on it through sqlplus very well. Sys and system work. However, I could not connect on EM express or SQL Developer such as sys, only the system account has worked. I get the following errors when you sign on EM and SQL Developer as sys. I checked that the sys password is correct.

    em_express.PNGsqldev.PNG

    > Express EM or SQL Developer

    both use SQL * Net (ONLY) to connect to the database.

    There is a security risk to allow "sys as sysdba" to log on to the network and should be avoided.

    logging as long as SYS via the network using external password file; probably, that does not exist or contains the wrong password

  • 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!

    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?

  • 12.3.3.17 iTunes could not connect to devices AirPlay (Airport Express)

    After the update to iTunes 12.3.3.17 I can connect is more to Apple Airport Express.

    I updated iTunes to 12.3.3.17 on both computers:

    1. Windows 7 64-bit SP1 / iTunes 12.3.3.17 64-bit

    2 Windows 10 64 - bit / iTunes 12.3.3.17 64-bit

    On the Windows 10 computer, iTunes can connect and play all three Airport Express.  An iPod Touch can also flow to each of them.

    After the upgrade to 12.3.3.17 on the Windows 7 SP1 computer, iTunes can see all three Airport Express and they are not greyed out.  But when an any of them are selected in the dialog of speaker, iTunes tries to connect and after 30 seconds results in the error "an error occurred when connecting to the device AirPlay"xxx". The network connection timed out' and the selection is then grayed out.

    The network card on this PC, the router, and all three Airport Express everything seems to work properly as I can deliver on all of them using software third 'wing' with other applications as the source.  I can also control iTunes on the PC wirelessly from iPod with the Remote app.

    I just can no longer spread to one of the Express from the airport directly from iTunes after the 12.3.3.17 update.

    Any thoughts?

    Well, problem solved (mostly) by a lot of trial and error and it turns out be a problem of WF on the UDP ports must be open for Hello.  It was a bit of a surprise, because the Airfoil program (third party utility AirPlay) uses also Hello (that works).

    The Windows Firewall has a rule entry of inbound traffic for Hello to port 5353 UDP.  Changing the rule to allow all Ports (UDP) does the job.  So I studied what UDP ports were actually necessary for the Hello and Airplay and amended the rule again, this time replacing all Ports with these specific UDP port numbers: 554 (1900), 5289 5298, 5350, 5351, 5353, 49159, 49163

    However, that did not yet work so I ended up coming back to the all Ports configuration.

    If someone uses the firewall native Windows (preferably Windows 7, but probably the same for 8 and 10), I would be interested to know what UDP ports allows your Windows Hello firewall.

    Control Panel > Windows Firewall > advanced settings > inbound rules > Hello

    I had certainly not changed firewall settings before this update to iTunes (and AirPlay worked just hours before) and know not why the update seems to have changed the Windows Firewall settings, but that helps to explain why the Windows 10 computer worked fine after the update, because she was using the McAfee Security Suite firewall.

    Thank you!

    What exact printer model Brother do you have? Your goal is to connect this printer to the extreme Ethernet or USB port... OR wireless? Also, what is the exact model of your AirPort Extreme?

    Must you print to this printer from your iPhone? If so, this printer does support AirPrint?
