• 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 I use an old station Airport Express to extend your network using a new Airport Express Terminal?

  I had an old Airport Express station and wanted to exchange for a newer version and use the old ones to expand the range in our House. Is this possible?

  By 'old' are you referring to the AirPort Express (model A1084) to 802.11 g? If Yes, then you won't be able to use it to extend the latest Express with a wireless connection between them.

  However, you can use it in a roaming network configuration, which would force base stations to be connected by Ethernet.

• I use a VPN in AirPort Express. I've updated firmware for 7.7.7 and DNS assigned by my VPN does not work anymore. Upon entry, the icon 'internet' in utility Airpot turns brown, and the internet stops completely. Anyone have any idea?

  Why my internet connection dies? I use a VPN to my internet at home. I put the DNS numbers supplied by the company VPN in my airPort extreme, which, in turn, provides wireless for home. It worked perfectly until I updated to firmware 7.7.7. Suddenly the green light next to the 'internet' in airport Utility icon went Brown, and it is therefore most all internet. I put numbers in DNS to my ISP, and internet provider is displayed again. All the other numbers in DNS, whether it's Google, OpenDNS or VPN to stop the dead from the internet. Anyone has an idea about this?

  Airport base stations, are at best, a VPN-well past that device. It is a server or a VPN client. Upgrade to the latest firmware does not change this fact.

  To create a VPN tunnel using the AirPort Express Terminal, your computer must be running a VPN client that connects to a VPN server somewhere on the Internet. What DNS servers you use should make no difference with VPN.

  If the ISP-supplied DNS servers do not work, I would say that you contact your ISP to find out why they don't allow you to use them.

  What we need to study is more why you lose Internet connectivity when changing the DNS servers of your ISP. Please check with them and to report back, then we can try to help.

• How to extend the range of my Airport Extreme Base Station (802. 11 a, c) using a relay of Airport Express (802.11n).  Airport Utility (V635.2) says that this version does not support the relay.  That is what it is?

  How can I extend the range of my Airport Extreme (802. 11 a, c) using an Airport Express (802.11n) point.  Airport (V635.2) utility does not recognize the Express on its screen?  I have to buy equipment?  I'm on a MacPro OS X 10.10.5.  Thank you.

  AirPort utility that ships with OS X 10.10.5 supports base stations as 802.11ac & 802.11n AirPort. It should be able to configure both of your base stations for a scope (wireless connected base stations) or roaming types (base station connected Ethernet) wireless networks.

  When you initially configure the Wan, it helps to keep the two base stations in the same room. Once configured, you can move the base station that extend to the desired location. The important key is that the final positioning of the station that extends the base must be understood that it's to expand in order to maintain sufficient bandwidth to the station remotely for clients from network connected. Please check the following airport user tip for more details.

• can I use airport express to extend the range of my Airport time capsule

  I want my airport express (model 1382) to be subordinated to the time capsule (ver. 7.7.3) and I'm on a different network. Is this possible?

  Do not know what you mean by 'subordinate' here... and you do not specify if the AirPort Express terminal connects to the Capsule using a permanent, wired Ethernet cables... or... If you want to try to have the AirPort Express to connect wireless to the time Capsule.

  The method cable would be far superior to the method wireless in terms of performance and 'slide' on the Time Capsule wireless.

  You also did not indicate what device... a Mac, an iPhone / iPad, etc that you want to use to configure the AirPort Express Terminal.

  So, when we have more information, we can provide you with an accurate answer to your question.

• process step by step new airport express from apple with time capsule base of connection (cable cat 5 150 Ft) with late 2008 macbook

  I would like a step by step process apple a new airport express with time capsule base of connection (cable cat 5 150 Ft) with late 2008 macbook.

  Connect one end of the long Ethernet cable (we assume that you have already tested the cable to make sure it works correctly) one of the three ports LAN <>- on the Time Capsule to the WAN port on the AirPort Express "O".

  

  We assume that the AirPort Express is new, is powered OFF... and has not been previously configured.

  Turning off the Time Capsule

  Wait a few seconds

  Put in the Time Capsule market and let it run a full minute

  Power of the AirPort Express and run a full minute. Currently, the indicator light of the Express slowly flashing orange

  On the MacBook, click the WiFi status menu icon and search for a list of the new AirPort access point

  Just below this list, click on AirPort Express

  

  Who will get the "Assistant" operational configuration. It will take a few seconds for the wizard to analyze the network and offer the correct setting in a display that will look like the example below, except that you can see your cameras and the name of your wireless network.

  

  In short simple name you want to call the AirPort Expressof type... .as OfficeExpress, for example

  Click Next

  Watch the next screen carefully to confirm that the AirPort Express is in place to extend using Ethernet, which confirms that the installation wizard recovers the wired between the Time Capsule and AirPort ExpressEthernet cable connection, so the settings correct configuration will apply.

  

  When you see the message Setup is complete, click done. Close the installation window, and you're done.

• 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.

• Change of modem can improve the speed of Airport Express Extender?

  My router is a Airport Extreme 6th Gen.

  When Wi - Fi and close this Airport Extreme base station, I get average speeds of:

  117 Mbps down and > 11 Mbps upward

  At the opposite end of the House, I use a wireless extension: Airport Express 1 St gen - model A1264 (MB32 1LL/A)

  Here, the download speed goes up to 14mbps . 

  Download speed rest > 11 Mbps

  My ISP will not have my current cable modem: 6580 Motorola (jumpered to disable router) to provide speeds greater than 100/10 (though even I can actually slightly higher than average, I have indicate above).

  If I replaced the modem with my ISP (Time Warner Cable) provisions for 200/20Mbps (speeds I pay in fact) - and * if * I got then that 100 Mbps speed increase (wireless) when close to my Airport Extreme base station (and I think I'll) - should I then expect to see a significant speed increase at the opposite end of the House , where I rely on the Airport Express wireless extension?

  In other words, is expected to double the speed of my modem now gives me wireless (when you're on my Apple Extreme base station) also be reflected in an increase in speed at the end of the House where I must rely on the Express Extender 1 generation and where I am now only download speeds see 14Mbps?

  BTW:

  1. I can not move my extreme or my Express.  They both must stay exactly where they are. Neither can they cannot be permanently interconnected via ethernet cable.

  2. I don't think the speed reduction I describe is a bandwidth issue because I am the only one on the network and do not have multiple downloads on several devices at the same time.

  Before I ring $$$ on a modem that won't improve my speed, you will appreciate any guidance I where I need more.

  Change of modem can improve the speed of AirPort Express Extender?

  Just a little, at best. The Express pourrait spend 25-30 Mbps. No guarantee, with strangeness wireless... it is maybe the same or worse based on my experiences.

  If you need more speed at the end of the House... the AirPort Express must be located to half way between the AirPort Extreme and the end of the House. Ideally, he would have line-of-sight with AirPort Extreme.

  Yet, you say that you can not move the Express or the extreme and can't get the Ethernet cable. Have you considered or tried Powerline Ethernet adapters?

• 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.

• Connect an airport express to extend wifi

  I'm not tech savvy... I had an addition on the House and our wifi is weak. I have a Timecapsle and tried to plug an Ethernet cable and bring it up to the addition where I would place the Airport express.

  I can't work. Can someone walk me through the settings?

  I currently have Ethernet plugged into one of the ports in the timecapse and then plugged into the Ethernet port on the Airport express

  We need a little more information to be able to help – tips and tricks for airports depend on the model you have and the computer that you use to configure the airport.

  Your AirPort Express look like this?

  

  Or, your AirPort Express there than a single Ethernet port, like this?

  

  If it has only one Ethernet port, that we need to model on the side of the unit number. It is difficult to see gray inscription on white background, so you can need good lighting and reading glasses to see clearly. The model number starts with an 'A' follow-up of four digits. Post back with that info, please.

  The next point, we need to know what device you are using to configure the Express... .a mac?... a PC?... an iPad or iPhone?

  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.

  Finally, we assume that you have tested the Ethernet cable that will connect to the time Capsule to the location of the AirPort Express Terminal by connecting a computer or laptop to the Ethernet cable temporarily, turn off WiFi and checking to make sure that you get a good connection Internet in this way. If you can, then the cable works fine.  If you can't get a good connection, then you will need to resolve things first, before you can try to plug the AirPort Express Terminal.

• 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.

• 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.

• I renew the DHCP on my Airport Express Extender several times a day.

  I have a time Capsule airport connected to an ATT Uverse router mode bridge as my wifi router.  I have Airport Express 6 throughout the House using wifi Extender.  I have to renew the DHCP lease on a large number of Extenders several times a day to keep them in line.  I saw a few discussions online about this problem, but have not found a solution that works.  Anyone know the problem?

  I have a time Capsule airport connected to an ATT Uverse router mode bridge as my wifi router

  Does that mean that the Time Capsule is in Bridge Mode... or... does that mean that the ATT Uverse router is in Bridge Mode?

  Help if we understood what operating system you use the device that you use to administer airports.

• Airport Express, Time Capsule and Airport Express using the same network

  Just moved into a new House and this is what I install.  I have 7 Port wired into the House.

  Closet of network in the Garage:

  • Cable modem
  • Airport Express
  • netgear switch 8 ports
  • It works pretty well.  All my wired connections work fine.  Wireless is quite good but cove not enough of space in my house.

  Think about adding my airport express capsule of time in my office - plugged into one of the hard wired connections.  Who works AND let me wish the WIFI?

  Thank you!

  Yes fine, assuming that first test you the Ethernet port in the office by connecting a computer (with WIFI disabled on the computer) using a spare Ethernet cable runs to ensure that the computer can get a good connection in this way.

  Put the airport Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password in your existing network. Apple installation "Wizard" automatically configure airport Time Capsule in the correct setting of the Bridge Mode for the device.
