• The Apple AirPort Express Base Station is a good solution?

  I'm moving so leaving the wifi station that Verizon gave me. I think I have the Apple AirPort Express Base Station by station WiFi. I connected an iMac (main computer) MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone.

  My main question is how this used for the WiFi base station compares to others on the market.

  Thank you!

  The AirPort Express has limited the ability of speed due to its slow and limited capacity wireless Ethernet port due to its very small built in WiFi antennas.

  However, if the plan of your new Internet Service Provider (ISP) is limited to about 50 Mbit/s, then the Express would probably be OK if most wireless devices will be located near the AirPort Express Terminal.

  If the budget allows, an AirPort Extreme is a much better product... up to 10 times the speed of the Express... with additional WiFi antennas located just above the 'tour' to improve performance.

  If your new ISP plan is 100 Mbps or higher, then AirPort Extreme would be a better match.

  If you are considering other routers from other manufacturers... we cannot comment at all on their performance without knowing the number of brand and model of the device you are considering.

• Apple Airport express records is not on the wifi network

  HI, I bought an Apple Airport Extreme new several months and I haven't connected my Airport Express so far. For some reason, the Airport Express is same does not record on the network. I unplugged for several minutes and plugged in. I don't know if there may be a software update that I missed?  Someone had this problem?  I would be grateful for any help. Thank you! Chuck

  If you have not reset the Terminal AirPort Express to settings by default and then set up again to extend the network provided by the AirPort Extreme... so now may be a good time to do this.

  As it is, the Express is not "appear" on your network because it has not been provided with the settings to do.

  If you need some advice on how to get the Express running... we will need a little more information from you as follows:

  (1) your AirPort Express Terminal has two Ethernet ports... or... does he have one?  If is has one, we need to model on the side of the unit number. It starts with an "A" followed four digits.  For example... A1264.

  (2) AirPort Express Terminal will connect to the network using a permanent connection to the Ethernet cable wired to AirPort Extreme... or... the Express will connect wireless?

  (3) what device you use to configure the AirPort Express Terminal?

  (4) If you have a Mac, we need to know what operating system they are running. 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.

• 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.

• Can iTunes be listened to using non-Apple (Airport Express/Extreme example) devices?

  Hi guys, my first question to the forum and hope you can offer some advice.

  One of my friends would like to extend his network wi - fi wireless and listen to their iTunes library throughout the House. It has a large router broadband modem/hub and BT Infinity2. I was going to suggest linking an Airport Express and Airport Extreme solution to install broadband from BT, but in the case where it is costly to use non-Apple devices to stream music from iTunes?

  Any help greatly received.

  All my best

  Wuidar

  can I use non-Apple devices to stream music from iTunes?

  Much would depend on what device you want to listen to music to. Is - this AirPlay device is capable?

• New Apple Airport Express - I just swap out with my old?

  I use the old version, Airport Express, so I'll update to the most recent (reconditioned Apple).   Can I just replace the old with a new one, or what I need to reconfigure in public services from the airport?

  If I have to set it up, can someone tell me dumbed down how?

  Thank you

  It is always better to start with the default factory setting when the replacement of base stations.

  However, if both base stations are 802.11n models, you can use AirPort Utility to set up the terminal 'new' to replace the older one. If this is the case, you can just power the new base station, and then select its Wi - Fi your Mac network. Doing so will give you the opportunity to run the AirPort Utility. Just follow the steps automated to replace one with the other.

• connect older apple Airport express with ethernet cable modem? Verizon service

  I'm helping someone with a verizon DSL modem older (guess this isn't wireless vs) which connects to a tower of Windows, then usb out of the tower to a unit of wireless to connect to a recent Mac laptop version. We would like to get rid of the tower and the verizon usb "hockey puck" and simply use the modwm > wireless Airport express > laptop.

  If I get an airport express, I can show the modem directly to Airport express?

  Yes, that should be fine.

  Tell us what model is the DSL modem.

  There are two possible configurations.

  Either the type pure or bridged modem and you use customer PPPOE over the WAN to the Express.

  Or

  You have a modem router and you will implement the express bridge, with creation of a wireless network.

  HOWEVER... I'm NOT either of those without call verizon and control on the price of a new wireless adsl router modem.

  ADSL has changed little in 10 years... but the equipment does not last forever. It could just be the perfect time to move.

• Mesh Wifi LAN with hardware Apple Airport?

  I read recently about the benefits of wifi mesh networks. I looked at several highly rated router mesh systems; but I don't know if I could not do the same with a system based on Apple Airport extreme and several Apple Airport Express routers.  Does anyone have an idea on the advantages/disadvantages of each approach?

  Trick question that depends on what you mean by "mesh".

  It is not difficult to set up a "roving" network with Apple devices, which is a form of network "mesh".  All airports using the same name of the wireless network, the same level of wireless security and the same password.

  The theory with this type of configuration is that wireless devices can "switch" from one region to the other and still stay connected to the same network as they change to take the best signal from the nearest airport.

  Usually, it works pretty well with the Apple laptops.  But not so well for not at all with most of the PCs, iPhones, iPads and other mobile devices... a fact that most of the articles seem to leave out.

• Connect AirPort Express to lemon (Rogers Rocket) Wireless Modem/Router

  I just got Rogers Wireless internet new modem/router Hitron.  I use modem/router mode.  It's great. Very fast and a lot of range. Covers all 3 floors of my house.

  I want to connect an Apple Terminal to my Hitron router with an ethernet cable and put the Hitron in Bridge mode. I want to continue to use the Hitron router as my main and only router.

  However on another floor, I would use an Apple Airport Express connected to my stereo with a jack 1/8 '' to play my music wirelessly from my iTunes from Apple.

  To do this, I need this Apple Airport Express Terminal to 'find' the Hitron router.  How can I get to find the router Hitron?

  I guess that you have a current version or recent of the AirPort Express with the default settings.

  As long as the AirPort Express is located where it can receive a strong signal of the modem/router...and wireless Hitron the Hitron aircraft provides a wireless signal that uses industry standard wireless settings, the AirPort Express can 'join' the wireless network. Wired Ethernet is not necessary.

  Note that the AirPort Express will not "spread" or "repeat" the signal from the router/modem lemon to provide additional coverage of wireless signal wireless, but it can be used to join the wireless network and provide a signal of airtime for your stereo.

  Simply use a Mac running a current or recent operating system, or an iPhone/iPad and configuration "Wizard" Apple to set up things upward. The wizard will automatically offer the correct configuration to 'join' the wireless network. All you really need to do is to enter a device name that you want to use for the AirPort Express and the password of the wireless network and confirm.

  Start the wizard by clicking on AirPort Express under the title of the new AirPort base station.

  

  On an iPhone or iPad, the screen looks like this:

  

  In the example below, the wizard has detected a network named "2WIRE902" for the AirPort Express join. You will see the name of the wireless network that provides the Hitron modem/router on your screen. Just enter a name of device for the Express, then type the wireless network password, then type it again to verify.

  Click next at the bottom right of the window and the AirPort Express displays a green light for a minute or two and you're done.

  

• Airport express at slow speed of the modem Arris SB6190

  Hello!

  My so-called WIFi Comcast gives me 150Mbps. My test only show 70 or slower speed on a WiFi test. After the call to them they told me to talk to my modems customer service. But their customer service is terrible. Here is my setup and yes everything has been switched off voltage and reset. And Comcast has been created with the modem while the Comcast guy was here. From the start after a few hard reset the express worked. Here's the question and the installation program.

  I have a SB6190 (not wireless), Arris directly connected to my Airport express. The express (which deals with my wireless connection) is connected to a switch (for wired devices). But I think that my problem is the Express. ? Not sure, I guess my question is I do something wrong in public services from the airport with the Express settings? I do not see why I get more 75Mbps wireless. Or maybe Apple if your reading, you can give it a fix on your next update. Hope you can help and thanks!

  Here some thoughts:

  (1) the Airport Express uses 100 ports Ethernet of Mbit/s, so the theoretical maximum speed that could be achieved with an Ethernet or Wi - Fi through the Express would be 100 Mbit / s.

  (2) the Express is not known for his speed wireless. On a connection of 100 Mbps Internet here, I see usually 45 - 50 Mbps at best more wireless, no matter if the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz is used.  Ethernet checks better about 75-80 MB/s to the Express LAN port.

  (3) these are user to user support forums, so it is very unlikely that anyone from Apple will ever see your post. If you want to provide feedback to Apple, you can do so here: Apple Apple - AirPort Express - Feedback will acknowledge receipt of your message, but they will not respond after that.

  (4) the AirPort Express was introduced almost 4 years ago and it's been 2 years that Apple has provided an update firmware for the product, so additional updates are not probably... my opinion.

• 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!
