Cannot set up old Airport Express

• Old Airport Express lost after reset of the router, the connection cannot be seen/accessed

  the train:

  -Mid 2009 Macbook Pro, OS Yosemite airport 6.3.5 10.10.5, utility

  -Existing wifi network via a former Ubiquiti AC wifi or router which gets internet radio antenna on the roof of the local ISP.

  -old (1st gen.) A1084 Airport Express used only as a customer to listen to the music of the said Macbook.

  I am a musician who has been using my old AEX to listen to the music and the recording via Airplay and Airfoil for my Roland onstage for years without problem. I don't remember how I initially put in place, but I think it's as a customer only... IE, it broadcast as its own wireless network, or extend my network wifi etc, I just use it for listening to music.

  Well, a week earlier, a disgruntled rogue ex-my local ISP hacked their radio tower and all the customer routers turned into useless bricks (and also all our wifi network names changed to a name that begins with "mother" and ends by "-ers", but that's another story).

  Local ISP technicians have managed to get my router all re - set up and working, but I had to reconfigure my wireless devices (example: wifi printer) from scratch to be able to connect again.

  The tenacious hold on is this old Airport Express.

  I try to use the instructions found online to get connected again, but nothing does.

  Yes, I tried pressing the Reset button for 10 seconds, etc... He just goes at once orange flashing or sometimes solid orange light, and don't see the Airport utility. I tried to plug its ethernet port to the router's LAN port to see if the Airport utility, would see no change, Airport utility requires no base stations found. It has no Airport icon in my menu bar and no Airplay icon in any relevant application such as iTunes.

  Remember that in past I was able to reset/reconnect after network changes, it seems to me (I don't remember how). BTW, its location is located a few feet from the router, in order to hang it up through ethernet is easy if need be.

  Once again, I only want to not to listen to the music and the tracking records of my Macbook. Roland aren't in a convenient place for an electrician. As you can tell the age of my stuff, I'm a starving musician, don't want to have to buy something new.

• I would change my chain on my old airport express

  Hi forum

  I would change my chain on my old airport express FROM channel 1 to Channel 4 or 8. When I try to save the changes, a message appears saying that it is 'of the invalid values. Is there a way to fix this?

  All the best,

  Jan

  Hello

  I would say that you already know how to change the settings on your base station Airport Express, but you are facing problems with the recording of these changes. Let's see if we can get those sorted.

  At this time, you can restart your airport by deleting power for a few seconds and then on toward the power then repeat these steps. If this does not work, the next thing to do would be to reset your preferred airport and set it up again to save these changes. Take a look at the article below to learn more about resetting an Airport base station.

• How to set up AirPort Express as a receiver only?

  My Wi - Fi Terminal is a tower of ac AirPort Extreme. I use my old AirPort Express only n to provide the Internet connection for my TV. All he needs to do is to receive the signal Wi - Fi base station.

  When I check the Wi - Fi traffic, however, it seems that the AirPort Express is also a signal. What makes a 'bridge', I think that the term. It is all set with a password, is not a security problem. It's just a problem of congestion network, which is quite a significant potential problem living in a high-rise building.

  I apologize in advance, but my lock of knowledge and understanding of terminology related to all things 'network '. How can I configure the AirPort Express Terminal to it only "receives" the Wi - Fi signal and does not broadcast the ' ' anything?

  Be gentle

  Thank you

  [This is a restatement of the question asked by another user here How to stop my broadcasting extreme airport ]

  Your question is quite clear to me. You do not want the Express to broadcast anything, but it should provide an internet connection for the TV? This is not possible: internet connections are always a two-way binding. Probably the best solution would be to use the Express in client mode.

• Can I use an old station Airport Express to extend your network using a new Airport Express Terminal?

  I had an old Airport Express station and wanted to exchange for a newer version and use the old ones to expand the range in our House. Is this possible?

  By 'old' are you referring to the AirPort Express (model A1084) to 802.11 g? If Yes, then you won't be able to use it to extend the latest Express with a wireless connection between them.

  However, you can use it in a roaming network configuration, which would force base stations to be connected by Ethernet.

• 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.

• How can I make it work with just an Apple TV, AirPort Express and iPod/iPad/iPhone?

  Hello people of Apple, I have some questions about a new "setup" of Apple products that I hope I can get to work between them. In other words, I need to know if what I am wanting to do in fact is possible with this new configuration.

  Current set up:

  • mini iMac (a former member of 2010, but fully updated for OSX El Capitan)
  • drive external HARD as the Time Capsule disk and with tons of music not purchased through the iTunes store (from my CD collection)
  • Old Airport Express connected to the modem (which received the fiber of my ISP)
  • 3rd Gen iPad
  • iPhone 6 more (work phone)
  • iPod Classic 5th Gen with close to 30 GB of my library and plugged on my car stereo to
  • iPod Shuffle 4th Gen for gym

  I want my setup to be:

  • Apple TV
  • Airport Extreme with external HARD disk * even from above * (my library backup iTunes music around, videos and photos) connected via USB
  • iPad Pro
  • iPhone 6 Plus
  • iPod Classic 5th Gen that I want to stay plugged into my car stereo to
  • iPod Shuffle 4th Gen for gym

  So my questions are: can I continue to sync my iPod Classic and my iPod Shuffle without a computer (I guess maybe not), and if so, HOW? I'll be able to sync the iPad and iPhone via wifi without computer as well? Also, I'll be able to play my library directly from the drive external HARD using the Apple TV?

  I'm guessing / hoping that the new Apple TV from the music/iTunes app and the pictures/iPhoto app, I can connect my iPod to the airport and synchronize them via the app AND connect Apple TV directly on the HARD disk via the airport. And perhaps also to synchronize the iPad and the iPhone on wifi in all Apple TV apps or something or maybe I just need any Uploader in iCloud and will not even need the HARD drive more except as a backup. Help!

  You have need of computer-Mac or PC. You can sync the iPhone/iPad wireless, but only via a computer in iTunes, I'm not sure about the capacity of wifi iPod.  Not to mention the iTunes, the software is required to manage the devices and media.  Important note: you must always back up your purchases - just because you buy a book, movie, TV show, song today does not necessarily mean that the media will be available from Apple servers for eternity.  The Studios retain rights and may, at any time, sign an exclusive agreement with a network, streaming provider etc which would then remove this file to be available on Apple servers.  You must download and save purchases - that would need a computer running iTunes software. You could buy storage for all your media, but then additional personal iCloud yet you would need a computer to manage. In addition, with respect to the Apple TV, you cannot connect all readers.  The USB port is only for the restaurant and full-service.  The Apple TV is a streaming device, but for the local media, he uses homeshare, which requires a computer iTunes rather than be connected directly to a storage device.  Although there are other applications like plex or infusion but they would require a NAS configuration rather than the HARD disk, and you would want / need a computer to manage the NAS server...

  the only thing you want to eliminate is the only thing that is required for all...

• AirPort Express added to "AirTunes" music to the network

  Hi guys, just a quick bit of advice of you would be good - I want to add an AirPort express to my set up as a dedicated "iTunes Speaker." So far, I have used a 1st generation Apple TV as my extension of iTunes, but this has made me now, and I don't need a model later that I don't need the video capabilities of it - I just need something to the music of airtime either my iPhone or, for most of the time, iTunes on my MacBook Pro.

  My network is as follows:

  Internet comes to DSL modem cable, which is connected to the Wan 2nd generation (500 GB) airport Time Capsule for LAN and WiFi. ATV has been directly linked by ethernet (via a Netgear switch) and my MacBook and iPhone use WiFi (802.11n 5 GHz)

  While I was looking for the original to the current model Express Airport (A1392) and using that passthrough network local ethernet of the TC to the switch (which continues to provide my TV, games console box, etc.) and possibly use it as a WiFi extender too (further strong WiFi to the garden for example - the TC is on the floor and it's down) , but then I thought - the oldest AirPort Express (A1264) allowed? And rather than go through the ethernet LAN of the floor (because it doesn't have two WAN/LAN ports, as the current model), but rather just hanging the switch via ethernet and to connect it to my amp to pump music iTunes/iPhone?

  If I had to, I would still be able to use it as a way to extend the range of my 802.11n network (that I don't know if 1 model made gen only 2.4 or 5 GHz)

  A1264 models are fairly cheap on eBay these days and would be an inexpensive way to add music streaming capabilities in my set up.

  Thank you!

  the old AirPort Express (A1264) usable?

  Yes

  And rather than go through the ethernet LAN of the floor (because it doesn't have two WAN/LAN ports, as the current model), but rather just hanging the switch via ethernet and to connect it to my amp to pump music iTunes/iPhone?

  It works

  If I had to, I would still be able to use it as a way to extend the range of my 802.11n network?

  Yes

  (as I don't know if 1 model made gen only 2.4 or 5 GHz)

  The A1264 can do is 2.4 GHz... or. .... 5 GHz, but not both at the same time.

• Problems of Airport Express

  Hi, can someone tell me if a former airport express type (model A1088) will work or set up with Yosemite. I tried to use Airport utility to configure it but can't get the Airport utility to find. I tried with the direct BT hub ethernet cable and base station Airport extreme with no effect. It is not compatible or is the defective unit, it flashes just constantly sometimes orange or green. Tried soft reset and hard or factory reset.

  I hope someone can help. At soon Mick 571

  Unfortunately, Apple has dropped support for older models of airport as the Airport Express (A1084) and AirPort Extreme (A1034) when they introduced the Lion (10.7.x) operating system 3-4 years ago.

  If you... or you can borrow for a few minutes... a Mac equipped with an older operating system such as Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x), you can administer the old AirPort Express this way.  A PC with AirPort Utility for Windows installed on the device would probably work as well.

  There are also "hacks" on the Internet that supposedly will install the old airport on a more recent Mac software, but you will need to use an application from an unknown author... who will offer no support in case of problems... .and also be willing to change some of the settings of the default security on your Mac to install the software. We do not recommend that you consider something like that, but it's your decision.

• 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.

• Airport express to extend my wifi signal

  I bought and set up the Airport express to extend a wifi signal in my house. I do not have an airport extreme as a base station - I thought I could use the express to extend the signal from my router/modem from verizon. Is this possible?

  Turned it "on" now, I don't see the express network as an option in my combo network - so assuming that it will seek to expand, what's the problem with it only shows not not in the drop-down list?

  The AirPort Express only wireless may extend over a network that is provided by another router from Apple.  As such, it cannot extend wireless signal router left 3rd.

  Another way of saying the same thing, it's that if you want to extend wireless network using a router from Apple, you will need two routers Apple.

  If you can connect the AirPort Express Terminal to your main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent, then the Express can be configured to provide additional coverage of wireless signal in this way.

• WiFi problem with iPad 4 on first generation Airport Express

  Bad problem with iPad 4 / iOS9. It seems that it is connected to the wifi (my old airport express of first-generation lists my iPad as a connected device and in settings of the iPad, the connection has the usual blue tick). BUT Internet works only for a few seconds after a reboot (hard) and there is no icon of wifi signal on the status bar (to keep for the first few seconds after the eboot). All other devices (iPhone 6 on ios8.2, iPad 2, two Macs and a PC) work fine on the airport express (first generation). Stranger still, when I go into a public café with wifi on the road, the iPad 4 connects no problem at the station, on the status bar and the internet works, I see the usual wifi antenna icon. Final oddity, it suddenly stopped working and no software / firmware updates between the two. As mentioned, soft and hard that it recharges don't help in saving a few seconds DNS cannot be a problem because all other devices work correctly.  I also tried to reset the network settings. It is esoteric.

  As a test, temporarily change the wireless network name and password on the AirPort Express.

  Make the name of... well very simple wireless network, no special characters (like an apostrophe) and no space empty. Ditto for the password.

  Can the iPad4 connect that way?

• Airport Express

  I have an old airport express (used as an extender) and a Comcast cable modem. In order to get a signal on my iPhone (AT & T), I had a microphone AT & T cell. I can't use the microphone cell as there is only a single port ethernet on the modem. If I buy a new Terminal Airport Express or extreme, either will work as an Extender of the internet to my computers iMac so that boost the signal of my iPhone?

  If they both work (see above), port (WAN or LAN) must be connected to the extension of the computer and that for increase of cell signal? Thanks for your help.

If I buy a new Terminal Airport Express or extreme, either will work as an Extender of the internet to my computers iMac so that boost the signal of my iPhone?

  If your modem is a simple modem, an AirPort base station would work. For the extension, the 'old' AirPort Express should be a 802.11n model if you want to do it with a wireless connection between base stations.

  By "restart my iPhone signal" If you are referring to his cellular signal, then no.. Only the MicroCell can do that.

• Configure Airport Express with D-Link router

  I am currently using a router D-Link with my MacBook. I want to use Airport Express plug my MacBook on my amplifier. When I tried to set up the Airport Express, Airport utility can't find it. I can't connect the Airport Express Terminal to the D-Link router by ethernet cable, because the amplifier that I connect it is too far from the telephone jack.

  You use the wireless bridge mode... what apple being different named wireless client mode.

• 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.
