• Airport express to extend wi - fi using the adapter but NOT extreme airport

  Hello

  I am looking to buy an express airport in order to listen to music through my stereo and also create another network wireless upstairs in my house.

  My question is, I currently have no apple down wireless router and I have connected to a line adapter with an adapter of the power line on the floor. If I connect the airport express base station to the adapter on the floor, I'll be able to create another network on the floor as well as the flow of my music, even if the router that comes from the connection is not apple router?

  Thank you

  Andy

  If the floor of the Airport Express will be connected via the WAN port using a regular power adapter ethernet cable carrier online and will be in Bridged mode, you can create a wireless network to the floor. Not bridged mode, you can see double-NAT issues, which should be avoided.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• The AirPort Express Terminal is good enough for me?

  I need a new wireless router to replace my Netgear WNDR4300 'antiques '.  The network is only 2-3 laptops and iPhones 1-2 at a time, over a printer and Chromecast device.  We occasionally video stream, but not often.  Critics say the AirPort Express is best purchased as an add-on to an existing network, but I can't justify more expensive options from the airport.  I don't need the 11ac 802 that offer other options, and it seems that margin would be a problem, because it is limited to 5 GHz.  We have a two-storey house. Is the simple terminal AirPort Express good enough for my home network?

  The AirPort Express, pourraient deliver similar performance to your old Netgear router in terms of signal strength and the beach... but the only way to know with certainty if the Express will be good enough for your needs is to try in your home.

  Try to locate the Express up high on a shelf or Cabinet, if you can, to help in the dissemination of the signal.

  Fortunately, if you buy through Apple, you have one day 14, no questions asked return privilege, so if the Express does not provide the performance you need, you can return the unit for Exchange or a refund.

• 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?

  AirPort Express frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support

• Can I plug two Airport Express units with ethernet cord and have a third Airport Express Terminal receive airplay music wirelesslly? In other words, can I combine a Wi - Fi network and roaming?

  I have an undesirable on the 1st floor, connected to the cable modem Ethernet event. I want to connect that AE to an another AE on 2nd floor with ethernet cable AND have a 3rd AE on the 1st floor to receive music through AirPlay wireless. I thought that linking the two first AEs with ethernet would improve the performance of web site on my iMac desktop, which is on the 2nd floor and connects to the 2nd floor AE via wifi. The EI the first two are newer model (MC414LL/A); the 3rd AE is old model (MB321LL/A) and is connected to a stereo Bose with a mini-jack to RCA cable double cord. I tried to set up this network using AirPort Utility, but have had no success. I don't know if it is possible to do what I want to do; and if this is the case, I don't know how to set the various parameters for each AE using AirPort Utility. I've temporarily implemented a purely wireless network; Do not connect DO NOT the two AEs with ethernet and everything works. I would enjoy my plan as above, or if I hold with purely network wireless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Using ethernet network roaming between the two floors is a much better idea than anything wireless.

  The installation should be automagical if you start with the two AE plugged in by ethernet.

  It must be configured in standard roaming with identical names wireless.

  If you have any questions... Please, just after the airport utility screenshots of the configuration... but

  An express train is probably the router? You must confirm this.

  The second express is so configured in bridge... It's on the network tab, disable the bridge mode.

  

  Without thread is set to create a wireless network and simply use the same name and the same password as the other Express.

  As it should be automagical when you WAN on the second AE plugged into the LAN on the first AE.

  Wireless and then extend to will also be installed enough well automatically even if sometimes it works better in a client that extend wireless mode.

  See the Client mode.

• 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.

• Connect a printer non-airprint for the Airport express

  Can I use an express train from the airport as a stand-alone wireless network to allow printing from an IOS device.  I want to connect an AirPrint not printer to the usb port on the Express with no ethernet cable is connected and so no internet and use it as a printer from an IPhone?

  My main questions are

  1. a no AirPrint printer allows printing from IOS using the Airport Express Terminal

  2. If so, the Airport express can not be connected to the internet?

  Thanks in advance.

  1. a no AirPrint printer allows printing from IOS using the Airport Express Terminal

  Actually, no. Connect a non-AirPrint printer to the USB port on the base station will NOT make it capable AirPrint. In order to print from a device iOS on this printer, you need to a third party (such as the Printopia) application running on a Mac.

  2. If so, the Airport express can not be connected to the internet?

  Function of the Express print server does not have Internet access at work. In other words, you can have the Express create a local wireless network, connect a USB printer and share the printer on the LAN. However, yet again, if the printer is capable non-AirPrint, iOS devices will not be able to print directly to it.

• Light green quick plug - Airport Express A1088

  Hello

  I have an Airport Express A1088, I moved into a new House, so I used it for 8 months.

  Today I plugged it and when I plugged an infinite green flash very very fast with suspicion.

  I search for anything on this question and reset factory is the main suggestion for the problem.

  It does not work:

  -plug in the airport for a long time the reset button

  -leave it plugged the airport then tap and hold the reset button

  -Plug/unplug the cables

  I don't really know what to do.

  Any advise?

  Thank you

  Unfortunately, the internal power supply on the AirPort Express can provide is no longer enough current to allow the Express function properly. This should in a product that is at least 8 years and as much as 11, since most routers designed for home use are engineered to operate for about 5 years.

  Congratulations... you did much, much better than average with your AirPort Express Terminal.

  If you're really handy with small electronic repairs and don't worry, spend time to saw carefully not open the case of the Express along the seam of middle to expose the electronics repair was possible. The drawback here is that you probably need to buy another second hand Express to get the parts needed for the repairs.

  However, since this would imply also opened the second hand Express for the pieces to be cut, I think that you can understand that it would not make much sense to do it when you could simply replace the defective Express with a working model. Another option would be to invest in a new Express and go ahead.

  But it's your decision.

• 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.

• 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?

• Cannot find Airport Express network

  Facts:

  Cox Internet

  The combination Netgear modem/router. Best a Cox sold.

  Old version of the Airport Express, which is connected to the router via an ethernet cable.

  A variety of Mac, iPad, iPhones.

  I used my Express to listen to music through Airplay outside on my patio, and for a few years its has worked well.

  Not been well.

  Light is green and it and it seems to be ok. But I can't see the Express one of my devices.

  I did all the obvious things like the modem reset, reconfigure the Express to factory settings, etc.

  The best I can do, it's that if I reset (or unplug just for a minute or two) I can see the Express for about 3-5 minutes then it goes away and no longer appears on any device.

  It drives me crazy and I am very frustrated!

  The first thought that comes to mind is that the average lifetime of an AirPort Express is about 3 years old.

  As a general rule, food is the element that starts to head South, and in this case, the Express struggled to maintain a connection. Not much you can do about it other that replace the Terminal AirPort Express.

  Personally, I don't think that I've never had an Express go 3 years before it had to be replaced, but some users have better luck.

  Fortunately, Apple has a 14 day no questions asked return policy, so if you decide to try a new Express and it does not solve the problem, you can return the product for a full refund.
