Can I use Airplay with an Airport Express station and a MacBook Air without going through a WAN connection?
I want to set up my MacBook Air and an Airport Express so I can use iTunes and AirPlay to connect wireless to the AirPort Express Terminal and connected powered speakers to listen to the music in my iTunes library. Is this possible? I don't want to connect to an existing wireless network to do this. I want that this configuration to work wherever I am regardless of the availability of an existing WiFi network. I want a direct wireless connection between the MacBook Air and the Airport Express. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks for your help in a confusing question.
Yes, it will work.
You must configure the Express in router mode... the EXTENDED network of the give a static IP address and ignore the problems. You will get several questions... because the network is internet-facing. They can all be ignored... This is how it is.
You can also use a static IP configuration. I use this on a TC, but the same configuration on an Express might work better than router. It can be a delicate touch of the installation. So after some screenshots if you are having problems.

Why my internet connection dies? I use a VPN to my internet at home. I put the DNS numbers supplied by the company VPN in my airPort extreme, which, in turn, provides wireless for home. It worked perfectly until I updated to firmware 7.7.7. Suddenly the green light next to the 'internet' in airport Utility icon went Brown, and it is therefore most all internet. I put numbers in DNS to my ISP, and internet provider is displayed again. All the other numbers in DNS, whether it's Google, OpenDNS or VPN to stop the dead from the internet. Anyone has an idea about this?
Airport base stations, are at best, a VPN-well past that device. It is a server or a VPN client. Upgrade to the latest firmware does not change this fact.
To create a VPN tunnel using the AirPort Express Terminal, your computer must be running a VPN client that connects to a VPN server somewhere on the Internet. What DNS servers you use should make no difference with VPN.
If the ISP-supplied DNS servers do not work, I would say that you contact your ISP to find out why they don't allow you to use them.
What we need to study is more why you lose Internet connectivity when changing the DNS servers of your ISP. Please check with them and to report back, then we can try to help.

Can someone tell me how to set up an Airport Express Terminal to expand Network provided by my Fios router/modem without going through an airport as a base? I understand that apple does not support this use, but my applecare Advisor said it's possible. Thank you!
Unfortunately, your AppleCare Advisor is wrong if he or she has told you that an AirPort Express to extend wireless signal of a Fios router/modem.
Function of "Extend a wireless network" Apple is an exclusive feature that was designed by Apple engineers to extend the signal from another wireless only router from Apple. Thus, the AirPort Express... or any other router Apple besides... would not be able to extend wireless a Fios network.
SO... you have the possibility to locate the Airport Express where it is needed... And... Connect it to the Fios router/modem with a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection, then the AirPort Express can 'extend' in this way.
Or... If you are ready to add a second AirPort Express, connect the first near Fios modem/router with an Ethernet cable, then the second Airport Express could extend the signal first Express wireless.
Another way to say the same thing, is that if you want an Apple AirPort router to extend wireless network... then you need two Apple routers to achieve this goal.

Time lag by using several units of Airport Express in different places in a House!
Hi guys,.
I have a setup that all my equipment is in what I would call a control room in the basement of my house.
Includes the Imac, Mac Pro and a PC.
All these are connected to a switch and from there 2 Airport Express joined the network to connect to amplifiers which in turn feed the cables in my living room and covered Patio speakers respectively (2 zones)
My intention is to install an already second-hand subwoofer Pioneer in my living room and do I buy an extra unit of Airport Express.
Attach it to my network (via Ethernet in my living room) as the House is wired.
It is then if I will face the time offset between the 2 express units airport due to difference in size of audio cables used to transfer the sound to the same location, EVEN the difference in the location of the 2 Airport express units?
Someone at - he had this experience?
Synchronization problems are common with the Airport Express. I can hear the slight differences in the arrival of time signal if the audio volume is up enough level to be able to hear the music in two adjacent rooms, with both expressing equal distance from the Ethernet switch.
Unfortunately, Apple provides no parameters to adjust the synchronization of the audio signal, and no one here has a crystal ball that is good enough to be able to predict the performance of your network. So, this is going to be one of those moments where you won't know how well it will work in your home, until you try them in your home.
Let us know how things work when you can.

I can't use Roboform with 4.0 beta 10, so I can't use Firefox. How to get back to the beta version 9?
I think that there is a little more for it, but here's a solution that seems to work. After the installation of Roboform 7.1.7, go to: http://www.roboform.com/platforms/browsers/firefox and scroll down to a table listing the three browsers identifying the XPI file to load if it was not loaded automatically. Click the http://www.roboform.com/dist/roboform-firefox-3-4-frozen.xpilink. Firefox will ask you if you want to allow this should be installed. Let him. Finish installation, restart Firefox 4.0b10, and you'll see a Roboform 7.1.7 toolbar works. I did it on two computers, and everything seems to work.

looks at it's not going to work. Wireless products are programmed to be used with a specific key, so they won't work on another dongle.
