Problems connecting to an AirPort Express, which already extends another Express.

Hey everybody, I just want to know if it is possible for an Airport Express to connect to an OTHER Airport Express which is already expanding an Airport Extreme.

It is possible for the Express to connect to another Express which is the extension of the network already... BUT... the 'last' Express will not extend the network once again, if that's what you're really asking here.

This is because Apple doesn't allow the wireless signal to be extended only once, not two.

It would seem that the last Exrress is the extension of the network, but it is not.  It is 'join' the wireless network, and when he "joined", it doesn't provide any additional wireless signal coverage.  However, the last Express could still work for AirPlay, or a USB printer remotely.

Feature of "extend" Apple works as the hub and the spokes of a wheel.  The main router is the 'hub', and an Extender would be located at the end of "sticks". As such, he communicates directly to the main router.  You can have multiple devices, the expansion of the network at the end of the other rays, but each Extender must communicate directly with the main router.

  • Internet connection lost of Airport Express

    I have an Airport Extreme bought July 2013 connected to a modem cable my ISP, Cox. I use an iMac running El Capitan. An ethernet cable to connect the modem cable to the Airport Express Terminal. Lately I lost my internet connection. I have set using the diagnostics of the network in the preferences, network, which brings me to restart the cable modem. That works, but it can last all day, or just for a few hours, and then I lose the internet connection. I called Cox Tech support and the guy said that as long as my cable modem lights remained on the balance, then it must be a problem with Airport Extreme. It also suggests to connect the modem cable directly to the computer. I have already happened up to 14 hours at a time and have not lost the internet connection. This leads me to believe that the problem is with the Airport Extreme. I can do about it before buying another Airport Extreme? Thank you.

    What is the brand and model of the modem provided by Cox Internet? Is this the same modem that you use when you first installed AirPort Extreme? ... and, if so, it has had problems before connecting or just started to happen as shown in your post.

  • iPhone 6, connecting to the Airport Express wifi, blocking all the other wifi equipment.

    Hello

    My home wifi network, it's an Airport Express station. I then several other devices that connect to it - two AppleTV, two MacBooks, an iPad and iPhone two 6.

    I recently had to replace one of the iPhone 6 and every time the iPhone connects to wifi of the Airport Express - the connection made the deadlock on other devices. This forces me to turn off the phone's wifi and now I do the connections of the hanging of the other devices start to work.

    The new iPhone replacement to restore a backup to iCloud. I also then reset the network than the iPhone settings when I first noticed this wifi connection problem, but the problem persists.

    Thoughts on how to fix this?

    My solution, after two devices, and visits to the Apple Store Genius bar was to do a full reset of the device and do not restore from a backup.

    For the appliance swaps were probably not necessary had we done the software reset and restore from scratch first.

    Geniuses and I were not able to find the cause of the problem.

  • 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.

  • PROBLEM CONNECTING TO SQL 2008 EXPRESS WITH ASP CLASSIC BETWEEN THE WORKSTATIONS ON A PRIVATE NETWORK

    I have created a private network (no internet connection) of four workstations, each running a SQL Express 2008 installation.  All four laptops are running Windows 7 Professional.  I created a homegroup for this private network.  While I don't care sharing of files between the four workstations, I have three of them in order to connect to the SQL 2008 Express database on the fourth mobile through channels of connection in the classic ASP programs.  Each of the four laptops can see others in the network.  I can ping the ip addresses of each to the other without any problem.  When I try to launch the ASP program on three laptop computers that attempt to connect to the SQL database on the fourth, I get the server does not exist or don't access denied error '80004005'.  The same program can also run on the fourth laptop and connects to the SQL database with no problems.  I tried to use SQLOLEDB and SQLNCLI10 provider in the chain of connection on the other three.  This operation fails.  I tried to add the IP address of the computer hosting the database as a Data Source in the connection on the other three string and still fails.  Named pipes and TCP/IP are enabled.  Each laptop can connect to the instance of SQLEXPRESS executed on each, but I need three to be able to connect to the instance of SQL Express running on the fourth.  Any ideas what I can do wrong?  This connection string works fine in the ASP program to connect to the local database on each laptop:

    Connection.Open "PROVIDER = SQLOLEDB; Server = computername\sqlexpress; UID = MyUser; PWD = MyUserPassword; DATABASE = MyDatabase ".

    Nothing seems to work for the chain of connection than the other three laptops to do to connect to this database on the fourth laptop.

  • Airport Express connects to my WiFi bridge

    Hello world

    It is searched many Web pages and throughout the Apple support forums, but I still could not understand...

    I bought recently Airport Express to extend my Wifi in another room and thus use it for AirPlay. My existing WiFi network is set up by the router, Asus RT - N12 (it is connected to our modem from the vendor to the scale of home - isn't available). I want to my Airport Express to work as bridge, connected to the existing network and to serve as extension and receiver airplay.

    It works only when I connect Airport Express via LAN cable to the Asus router and set it as the new network. This is not convenient because it is located near the router and does not provide any additional coverage to our Wifi.

    I tried to set up the base Airport Express "Extend existing network." But once set, it REQUIRES connection via cable. To connect to the existing WiFi network, there is NO other choice. This option is missing in the Airpot utility, so I can't select the Wifi to connect to.

    In addition, when I connect to the Airport Express Terminal cable to the WAN port (which is our wall of our home modem), you do not find the internet connection for some reason any (while Asus has no question to do).

    I'm quite desperate here. I already think to buy Airport Extreme. But I don't know if he will be able to connect to the internet for the same reason. And, it is five times more expensive. Everything else works with Asus without problems and additional parameters. iPhones, iPads, Apple TV, Android phones, Mac Pro, laptops Windows (except old 3G iPhone that says that it cannot connect to the network).

    Any ideas where to look for a solution? None of the settings in our modem Asus to allow the airport as bridge recommended? And, above all, WHY is configuring lack the ability to connect to the existing Wifi network and wants to connect via cable ONLY?

    Thank you...

    I want to my Airport Express to work as bridge, connected to the existing network and to serve as extension and receiver airplay.

    Unfortunately, function of "extend a wireless network" Apple is an exclusive feature that has been designed by Apple for only wireless "extend" the signal of another Apple wireless router.

    Or, another way of saying the same thing would be to say that, if you want to extend the wireless network, you will need two routers Apple for this purpose.

    In other words, the function 'extend' is not compatible with 3rd party routers, so the only way that you will be able to get the Express at work... or any other router from Apple, incidentally... would do what you did and plug the Express using a wired Ethernet cable connection.  If you cannot run the Ethernet cable, then you can take a look at a pair of Ethernet over Powerline (EOP) adapters to eventually send the signal on power lines the existing AC in your House.

    If you only want to use the AirPort Express for AirPlay, it might be possible for the Express to 'join' the wireless network... but the Express won't provide any additional wireless signal coverage by joining a wireless network.

  • 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.

  • Airport Express - to extend the wireless network

    Hello

    I have 1 Airport Extreme, make a wireless network and I have 3 Airport Express, to extend the network.

    the Airport Express Terminal 2 have connection whit Airport Extreme. The last of them is too far. The last of them can connect to one of the Airport Express 2 located in Pentecost Airport Extreme connection to expand further?

    Sorry, but no.  The distant Express which is too far can connect to one of expresses it airport who are already extending the network... so that it can be used for AirPlay or to connect a USB printer. .. .but the distant Express cannot "extend" the wireless network and provide additional wireless coverage.

    Ideally, your network could have AirPort Extreme, placed in a central location in the House, and each Express which extends the network would be located approximately the same distance from AirPort Extreme... and... ACH Express would be closer to the AirPort Extreme to another Express.

    If this is not possible, then you need to look at a wired Ethernet cable solution for at least one of the Express features, or an Ethernet Powerline solution if you cannot run the Ethernet cable.

  • How to access a USB key on airport express

    I have my music on a USB hard drive connected to my Airport Express Extreme and it rarely connects to it. How can I get my iTV to transfer music?

    An express cannot use a hard drive... only the extreme or time capsule.

    I'm not sure what you mean by iTV... an apple TV needs to work with iTunes... If you need to use a computer if you have the iTunes library on the hard drive. Then mount the disc in iTunes to see the library and the Apple TV can then use it.

    A smart cannot use normal TV no matter which airport to apple as a media store... Airport routers have no extension of media.

    A WD TV live can use a hard drive connected to an extreme example... because it's an appropriate media player. But smart TV requires the protocol support DLNA... that doesn't use Apple.

  • AirPort Express will not set up

    It must be the 10th right now - all I'm trying to do is to add an AirPort Express Terminal to my home network, with the aim mainly attaching an external hard drive to it.

    I have a BT HomeHub 5. Whenever I open AirPort Utility on my iPhone, iMac or MBP, I see the AirPort Express, start the installation, select "Add to the existing network", continue with the rest of the installation.

    After awhile, it sets up, I press "done" and it appears in AirPort Utility window. If I change the settings on the airport, it crashes and I have to click on "forget" and do a reset.

    The same thing happens if I connect my external hard drive to it.

    The craziest thing: closure of the AirPort Utility application and reopening apparently cause the EPA have a yellow triangle next to him and I have no choice but to press on "forget", and the whole cycle repeats again.

    It's very frustrating...

    all I'm trying to do is to add an AirPort Express Terminal to my home network, with the aim mainly attaching an external hard drive to it.

    A potential problem here is going to be that an AirPort Express will NOT support a hard drive... as the USB port on the Express only supports a compatible USB printer.

    -What are you trying to do?  Alternatively, your hard drive will connect to the AirPort Express using wired Ethernet?

    The next issue will be 'how' you are trying to connect the AirPort Express Terminal to the HomeHub.  The Express will connect wireless only, or it will connect using wired Ethernet wired, Permanent?

    (Your screenshot indicates that the Express use a wired connection to the Hub).

  • Help with Airport Express and Configuration capabilities

    I have a new Airport Express which is set to expand the network wireless (created by Time capsule).  Is it possible to also provide a wired connection to another device in this mode?  If so, how do I need to change the settings? The other device is a hub of lighting (not wireless) which must have an Internet connection to allow remote control of lights.  It is currently connected to the CT but its location does not cover a part of the House, the new AE is the perfect place.

    Is it possible to also provide a wired connection to another device in this mode?

    Yes

    If so, how do I need to change the settings?

    Some settings need to be changed. By default, both the "O" WAN port and port LAN <>- both act as LAN ports. Choose one or both to an active Ethernet connection.

    The other device is a hub of lighting (not wireless) which must have an Internet connection to allow remote control of lights.

    Turning off the hub of lighting, make the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express and the hub of power upward. You should be in business.

  • Are there 2 seconds audio delay with Apple TV as with Airport express

    Audio reading of the Mac to stereo via Airport express has 2 second delay. If I replace the airport express to Apple TV and connect optical to HiFi audio link ATV still do 2 seconds?

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    I have no such delay when I play audio via an Airport Express station. You must determine if the problem is with your network or device that you have connected to the AirPort Express Terminal. I don't know what other hardware you have for you for you help in this task.
