Is my Airport Express now superfluous?

• Airport Express connection speed

  I have 40 MB/s internet speed down.  I have a new modem century link (recently moved home - new internet service) feed my Airport express.   Until a few days ago I received all 40 Mbps through my Airport Express wireless.  Now it is capped to 10 for some reason any.  The only thing that has changed is that I had to power cycle my modem to redirect a couple power cords in my basement.  When I connect my computer to the same ethernet cable that feeds the Airport express I get the full 40.  I tried to restart everything. I tried all channels 2,4 ghz manual on the express (I didn't configured 5 GHz because I really don't need right now).  I don't know why its running at 10 and not 40 like a few days ago.

  What is the brand and model of your modem provided by century link? What exact model is your base station AirPort Express? Is the Express directly connected to the modem by Ethernet?

• Airport Express in client mode to serve Airport Extreme

  Hi guys,.

  I am struggling with Setup in our business that is pretty special. Our cash register, the Bank Terminal and the control system are all serviced by an Airport Extreme that was configured with care by a dedicated company. The extreme is powered via an Ethernet based modem. The basic modem is a box any of the internet service provider in our country that has four ethernet ports and a basic WIFI network that we open for customers. As the basic modem is too far from the extreme, a powerline sitecom was initially used to carry the signal to the modem from basic to the extreme.

  But the powerline connection was poor, so they advised me to replace the powerline by an Airport Express in client mode, which converts the client base modem wifi signal ethernet to the WAN port on the extreme. I installed the Express exactly as described by Apple (AirPort Express: how to join an existing client mode - Apple Support Wi - Fi network) and the entire installation ran smooth for about an hour. At a time of seemingly random, all of a sudden the extreme complains that the internet connection is lost. In airport utility, the extreme flashes green, but the internet icon is orange and the notification indicates that the connection is lost. However, the Express flashes green and is always connected to the WIFI which worked again properly, I confirmed. Restart the extreme and Express to solve the problem, but only temporarily. After some time, the extreme complained again that the internet is lost.

  Can someone explain what could cause this problem and how to solve? Thanks in advance.

  From your description, I guess that the WiFi connection between the base modem and the AirPort Express is where you need to solve problems more far. Looks like that the modem is not a simple modem, but a combination modem and the wireless router, also known as the name of a gateway device.

  Nevertheless, the best solution would be to use an Ethernet cable dedicated between the "modem" and the AirPort Extreme. Bypassing the Express all together. The next would be Powerline adapters. I'm a little surprised that those you used works well for you. Unfortunately, the scenario of 'worse' bandwidth performance is what you're doing now is to use the AirPort Express as an Ethernet bridge Wireless Terminal

  However, if you have no other choice in the matter, where you then place the Express can make a difference. You want to Express to be in a db 25 + range of report Signal to noise (SNR) of the modem. This will allow the Express maintain a connection compatible with this modem wireless network. To find out how to measure SNR, discover the next Tip of an airport users for details. Please post back your results.

• Mini TiVo with airport express

  My question is about the tivo, the Airport express and the extreme of the AC.  have the romaio standard tivo in my room and the mini in the other room about 25 feet, with thick walls about 7 feet.  the mini is to cut the audio and the video of course.  If the research online, wanting to know the best solution.  If the connections are such:

  1st room:

  Extremes of AP connected to the modem

  romaio connected by ethernet to AP extreme

  2nd room:

  AP express connected by ethernet to tivo mini

  Deck AP express under the name "extended" to the extreme

  bridge over the 2.4 ghz network

  so the question is whether to 'extend' or 'join' the network?

  or the other bridge then on the 2.4 ghz or 5 GHz?

  all the details, let me know

  There is no significant difference.

  so the question is whether to 'extend' or 'join' the network?

  or the other bridge then on the 2.4 ghz or 5 GHz?

  The question is fair level of signal and bandwidth.

  It is difficult to get the numbers now, as the utility v6 airport is no longer a toy only utility is to say a tool. As the use of a hammer plastic actually hammer in nails.

  Try to get the speed of connection... in v6, you roll your pointer over the connection. As thus.

  I have two gen5 connected AE as extend wireless... It did not work with long connection so I moved to the extreme a few feet from the other device. They are now about 4' apart.

  The connection now shows 195 MB/s, but you need to playback during the actual file transfer. It will go down considerably the work.

  

  If you can get a machine more old computer or windows and install the utility 5.6 you will get much more information.

  

  Links are not the same from one end to... Although here, it works fine. As I had before that connection showed ok one end but much poorer on the other... This info is now impossible to obtain in utility v6.

  25 ft away, with thick walls about 7 feet.

  I'm sure that the walls are 7 thick inches rather than 7feet.

  But everything depends on the construction and the number of walls.

  Light framing lumber and Sheetrock (rockboard?) have fairly low resistance wireless.

  Brick or concrete walls have a lot of resistance wireless... you must use ethernet or adapters EOP.

• Airport Express had not cooperated and TC?

  I got my TC and Airport Express for a few years now without any problems.  Recently, no known changes, I could no longer connect to my wifi/internet. After that everything in that I can get troubleshooting, it's when the TC and AE are physically connected to my my wifi internet network and stop working.  When I have either connected by themselves the internet and wifi works very well.  My setup as follows:

  Router & Verizon Fios Internet Service

  Airport Express hard wired to the Fios router

  Time Capsule hard wired to the Fios router

  I have updated firmware on TC and AE today and no luck.  Any ideas on what might be the cause?

  Thank you!

  Reset both the TC and Express to plant and restore the configuration.

  Make sure that both are in bridge mode... and get IP address valid for the FIOS router.

  If you are roaming network then both TC and Express needs to create a wireless network of the same name and same level of security / password.

  If you still have questions, post screenshots of the installation.

• Time Capsule and Airport Express keeps disconnecting

  I have a problem setting up the network at home. I have a Time Capsule that is connected to a router Huawei, the Capsule is set to 'Create a wireless network' and router mode "Off (bridge mode).

  It was great to all workers and I get 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz networks.

  Today, I bought an Airport Express so I can extend the wifi signal in the new section of the House, I tried to connect it to the time Capsule because 'Extend a wireless network' for a while, it would connect and everything seems fine and then begins the two TC & AE drop and reconnect again and let down once again , the led starts between green and amber shifts from time to time and keep doing that... The WiFi keeps fall signals and reconnect!

  I'm not sure what the problem... ! tried to set up two or three times but nothing seems to work. But once I turn off the AE, the TC begins works very well!

  Here is how my network configuration must be:

  Wall -> RJ11 >- Huawei -> Ethernet >- TC ... > WiFi >... AE 

  Note: when I connect the AE to transport CANADA the 1st time, this pattern was shown in Airport utility:

  Internet > TC > AE

  but it would be still lower, after the reset of the AE several times and tried to configure several times, now what I see is that both are connected to the Internet icon somehow!

  Any help!

  Begin by looking at the location of the AirPort Express to the TC Terminal. It is in the same room, another room or different floor? Another room or floor, if that it the basic construction building materials used in the walls or the ceiling in your home?

• 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.

• Would be switching to a simultaneous dual‑band 802.11n AirPort Express correct problems with connectivity MacBook Air Wi - Fi

  Right now I use an old AirPort Express Terminal (802.11 DSSS 1 and 2 Mbps standard, 802 11A, 802.11 g specifications and a 802.11n draft specification) with AirPort Utility Version 6.3.6 (636.5). My MacBook Air (13 inches, beginning 2014) intermittently loses the Wi - Fi connection. Move to a 802.11n simultaneous dual‑band AirPort Express would correct this problem? I'd be better off with an Airport Extreme?

• Range Airport Express

  My airport express can extend the WiFi on the floor of the House, now is no more. I had a few problems of the internet with IPV6 from December to March, and recently again, ever since all this my wifi had no signal on the floor. All of my equipment is the same, and I used to have a full signal anywhere in the House.

  I have reset the router as well.

• Question Airport Express.

  I'm so confused. I'll try to keep a long story short. I lost my internet connection a few weeks ago, and instead blame Mediacom, I blamed my old airport of 12 years and I bought a new Airport Express Terminal (with a new ethernet cable to replace a at least 20 years. While the implementation of the new Terminal Airport Express, I was unable to get anything to work and finally called Mediacom. The problem was indeed at their end, where the cables to connect in the basement of my four-plex apartment.

  Now to cut to the Chase: given that I reproach myself my own equipment and not of Mediacom, I managed to set up two connections Airport Express (call Network1 and Network2). When I restart my computer, it connects inevitably to one or the other, but never the same. It connects only to those who, at the time, won't let me connect. So I turn to the other and all are well again. At the same time, when I get home, my iPhone will almost always automatically connect to the network which does not connect to the internet. It might work with Network1 while my computer only works with Network2. Same thing with my iPad. It is either 1 or Network2, but never both, and never the same. The three units can be on different networks at the same time for each group in order to connect to the internet.

  So my question (s):

  How can I remove one of the networks so that it completely disappears? There is apparently some kind of criss-cross current that confuses my computer and its peripherals.

  If I delete that which does not (at the time), I ALWAYS keep one connect correctly or I need to reset my Airport Express and start from scratch?

  I even does not start in the subject what a pain it was to connect my Tivo to my wireless network, because it works too only with one or the other. And I still have my printer wireless to set up.

  Help/suggestions/explanations are greatly appreciated. I've been using Mac and set up networks since the dark ages, but it left me speechless.

  The Airport Express should not have 2 networks unless you have enabled the guest network. Is it possible that your Internet router has a Wi - Fi network on it as well?

  I highly recommend you reset the default Airport Express Terminal and try again. It's really the only way you are going to get a suitable resolution.

  It is also possible that your network of old and new settings are still in iCloud keychain and causing some confusion.

  I would recommend you disable iCloud Keychain on each device, then make sure that you forgot the network name on each device.

  Recreate your wireless network (giving a new unused name so you can tell if it's all working), then log in to the network without wire on each device, one at a time, making sure the internet connection works.

  You can then re-enable iCloud Keychain if you wish.

  Good luck.

• Using the Airport Express Terminal as a bridge

  I would like to get video Amazon on my older Blu - ray player.  I was wondering if I could use my old AirportExpress (1st generation) as a bridge.  Now my new Comcast modem connects to my Time Machine that gives me my wireless connection. I tried to connect to the airport & connecting to my Blu - ray via ethernet cable, but I just get a flashing yellow light and the DVD on the screen tells me just the internet connection failed. Is this possible?

  Now my new Comcast modem connects to my Time Machine that gives me my wireless connection.

  I think that you wanted to say that you have a Time Capsule that produces the signal of your wireless network, correct? (Time Machine is a software on your Mac used to back up the Mac on another hard drive).

  I was wondering if I could use my old AirportExpress (1st generation) as a bridge.

  In 'bridge', do you mean you want the AirPort Express to receive a wireless signal of the time and then wireless Capsule to deliver one Ethernet signal to the DVD player?

  The answer is 'yes' to the offer that you really have a 1st generation AirPort Express. To check, look for the model number on the side of the Express in the small print. It starts with an "A" followed four digits.  A 1st Gen AirPort Express is A1264 model number.  What is the number that you see?

  I tried to connect to the airport & connecting to my Blu - ray via ethernet cable, but I just get a flashing yellow light and the DVD on the screen tells me just the internet connection failed

  Assuming you have a 1st Gen Airport Express, the device must be set up and configured to work with time Capsule. The AirPort Express doesn't quite work simply by plugging.

• 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.

• 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.

  Hello

  There may be a firmware update available.

  Open the AirPort Utility application located in HD > Applications > utilities , then click on the AirPort Express .

  If an update is available, you must do.

• Airport Express - USB drive not visible in the finder

  I have a brand new Airport Express that I currently use as an Extender for our old time Capsule. I would like to share a USB between computers. The Aiport utility see the drive.

  

  

  However, the Finder does not show the drive.

  In the future this extreme with a USB (mini 4 TB drobo) will be in our caravan to help us to do video editing and blogging with 2 computers on the road.

  Finder are not displayed at the start of the drive, but it should display the AirPort Extreme under the Shared heading in the left side of the Finder window.

  In the example below, my AirPort Extreme (called AEBS) has a drive named 500 GB drive connected to the USB port at the back of the unit.

  

  By clicking on the AEBS, another window displays the name of the player on the right side of the window.

  

  Double-click to mount the drive on the desktop.

  

  Now you can drag and drop files on the disc icon, or open the drive and drag the files into the opened window, which represents the drive.
