Reset to factory Airport Express?

I have the Ethernet cable installed throughout the House in large part driven by current wireless issues. I have a new Airport Extreme 802.11ac and three airport expresses to 802.11n. Is it advisable to make me a reset factory at the Airport Express before their reconfiguration in a mobile network? Any other tips and tricks to look out for? I hope that this will lead to greater stability in the Apple TV streaming, but also performance of Airplay (i.e. dropouts) three airport expresses. Thank you!

Yes, given that configuration utility "Assistant" Apple AirPort requires airports to be reconfigured are in a factory default state.

Any other tips and tricks to look out for?

Assuming you have tested to make sure that the Ethernet connections are working properly, the installation process is extremely simple and intuitive.

Put each Express to default settings

Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express Terminal

Click the WiFi on your Mac menu and then click on AirPort Express to the new AirPort Base Station registration

When you click on AirPort Express, the configuration wizard "" will take a few seconds to automatically provide the correct configuration

Type a device name you want to call the AirPort Express

Click Next, and the wizard will put up everything for you automatically and correctly

Cick is when you see the message Setup is complete... and you're done with this Express

Set up the other two one at the same time expresses exactly the same way

  • Cannot factory reset Airport Express

    I am unable to run any type of reset on my Airport Express (2nd generation).  The LED will blink SOS (......) in a strange color - amber not green/No.  It's kind of a mixture between the two colors, resulting in a light yellow/green.  Sounds like it could be a fatal mistake.  Anyone who has seen this?  If so, solutions?

    Unfortunately, this indicates that feeding inside the Express did not, and the device will need to be replaced.

    On the Express warranty is one year, but if you happen to have AppleCare in place on one of your Mac and it has been less than three years from the date of purchase of the Express, the product will be so covered.

  • Cannot find the Airport Express Airport utility

    Hello

    I have a firmware running extreme Airport 7.6.7. 6.3.6 and one Airport utility Terminal Airport Express (model A1392). I have access to my system on a Macbook pro. Also have the app on my iPhone.

    My Airport Express and extreme talked to each other and have been broadcast on the Airport utility. However, I had to change my wifi password and the network password. After that, the Airport extreme restarted. After the reboot, my Express was no longer recognized by my network. The Express has a light orange and blinks repeatedly. I can't connect to the express to address the issue of amber light.

    I have read many posts on the forum. However, I still have to find a solution. How to connect the airport utility to the Airport express?

    Thanks for any help, you can make it,

    You have changed the password for WiFi on AirPort Extreme... but... the AirPort Express Terminal was previously programmed to connect by using your password in the "old".  The Express is lost, unable to find the network at all and doesn't know what to do.

    You can help the AirPort Express by doing a hard reset on the AirPort Express to clear the old network settings and passwords, and then configure the Express again to connect to your network 'nine' with the 'new' password.

    After the back if you don't know how to proceed.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 2nd generation Airport express does not not with El Capitan

    My express shares two airport were suddenly disconnected my wifi. Despite the soft resets and reset hard I'm getting nowhere.

    Airport said (6.3.6) utility it is impossible to extend the network, and amber flash units.

    I think that this could have happened when I updated the software to 10.11.3, iMac but I'm not sure. earlier versions of El Cap worked very well.

    I run a Time Capsule and then two Airport Express units off that to extend the network. The two Airport Express are 2nd generation.

    Thanks in advance

    Make sure that the Time Capsule is not save at the time and then pull the power cord to the back of the unit or remove the plug from the AC outlet

    Wait 10 to 15 seconds, and then turn on again time Capsule and let it run.

    Temporarily move an AirPort Express Terminal in the same room or in immediate proximity to the time Capsule. Power off of the 'other' AirPort Express for now.

    Perform a hard reset on an AirPort Express Terminal by pressing the button of reset for 5-6 seconds while the airport was turned on for a few minutes. Release the reset button and allow a minute for the AirPort Express restart to a slow status of amber light flashes.

    Rerun the Setup program on the AirPort Express

    If things set up correctly, turn off the AirPort Express and move to the desired location, and then turn it upwards.

    Turn on the second AirPort Express Terminal, perform a hard reset on the device and set up again as you did the AirPort Express.

  • Airport Express do not reset

    My parents have a problem with their Airport Express (latest generation, redeemed in 2014).  We had a storm yesterday and dropped their internet.  I went to try to reset their router, but it will not reset at all.  The indicator light remains just orange/amber and when I try to do any sort of reset (soft, hard, factory) there's just orange/orange and never flashes as it should when it is set to zero.

    Is this thing toast?

    Would not be the end of the world as they asked me how to get a better signal in the yard and told them that probably they needed a larger router.  Nature may have forced this issue.

    Unfortunately, a solid amber status LED light seems to indicate a power supply for the base station. If you have already tried all types of reset, the chances are very good, as the storm has damaged the device and must be replaced. Sorry!

  • Do a factory reset on my AirPort Extreme 802.11n resets my country code?

    Do a factory reset on my AirPort Extreme 802.11n resets my country code?

    Wireless Diagnostics warns on codes of countries in conflict.

    I ve got an AirPort Express 802.11n and an AirPort Extreme 802.11n

    The country code of the Airport Express is ok, but Airport Extreme shows me different options.

    Any suggestions?

    Please

    A factory default reset will set the area code of the AirPort Extreme back to the initial setting that it was when it was new, but this should not be necessary because you can change the country setting without having to perform a factory default reset.

    You can see the options available for your AirPort Extreme by opening AirPort Utility, by clicking on the image of the AirPort Extreme, and then click Edit in the window that appears.

    Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the window, and then click Wireless Options near the bottom of the window. Click on the country selection box to see the options available for your AirPort Extreme country.

    Apple is doing to "regionalize" airport routers, so, for example, that if you bought the AirPort Extreme in the AirPort Express to the United States and Europe, the country on the extreme options will only show of European countries, so that the country on the version options American Express shows countries in the Western hemisphere.

  • 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 have an Airport Express, which gives an unexpected error message when you try to connect to a router WEP (Verizon) existing iOS9.3.2

    It flashes orange, but can not be reconnected to the router or to the title of the Setup Assistant or Airport utility.  Is there a way to reconnect to WIFI or should I bite the bullet and connect via Cat5e and be done with it.  My VPN works much better without AirPort Express connected.

    Sorry, but there is no WEP settings AirPort Utility on the iPhone or iPad, or any Mac version of AirPort Utility which was used for the last 4 years or so.

    If you have an older Mac still running AirPort 5.x utility or a PC with the AirPort for Windows utility installed on the device, the WEP settings that could be used to get the Express to connect to a WEP network there.

    As you know, WEP has not been secured for a number of years, and there are any number of free utilities available on the Internet, which is crack a WEP network in a few seconds. Thus, all those who want to be on your network will not have problems to do very quickly.

  • Airport express - is no longer the network extension

    For six years, took the extreme of the airport, with two Airport express network expanded throughout the House provision.

    All are online and update - 7.6.7 is later / current version.

    Airport express kitchen spent all-day orange with the warning - "unable to extend the... wireless network." "flashing

    I tried to restart - power off/power on, then a reboot via Airport utility.

    Then I completely reset the device to factory settings and reconfigured back to expand network through the Airport on Mac utility.

    I still have the same problem!

    Tried to contact Apple support, telephone support is obviously expired but still difficult to write, call, or buy an extended support, I am stuck in a loop with: "we're sorry. We are unable to respond to your request at this time. Please try again or come back later.15696390-8f63-4da2-816e-f58a820d350d'

    Would appreciate some advice from the community? Could avoid resetting the Airport Extreme that I didn't have to go to the length of the reconfiguration of the entire home network and services... !

    Thanks in advance.

    Powering two devices of the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express

    Wait a minute

    Turn on the AirPort Extreme and run a full minute

    Then, turn on the kitchen Express and run a full minute

    Check the network

    If no luck, repeat the same procedure as above, but perform a hard reset on the Express before attempting to set up again

    If still no luck, the age of the Express can come into play. The average useful life of the Express is about 3-4 years.

    Try the 'other' Express in the kitchen. If it works, then you know that your "old" kitchen Express must be replaced.
