Using airplay on airport express with wired connections

Hello world

I think in a very special configuration and I was wondering if it would work or not.

I have a Linksys router with 802.11ac ability now. I wish I had a pregnant airplay on my network, so I thought buy a used Airport express, connect the speakers to it and plug the Airport express via a LAN cable to the linksys router. I also think to turn off wifi on the Airport express so it does not disturb my 802.11ac network.

So the question is: is it possible to have the airport base station to connect to my router Linksys on LAN and airplay works this way on the Linksys WiFi network?

Thank you

Zoltan

In theory, it works... but you will have to set up the AirPort Express to create a wireless first, then go back and turn off the wireless feature.

Ensure that the Express is a common pattern of A1392, or the previous version of A1264. Much A1084 most, it's not what you want.

  • 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.

  • AirPlay and AirPort Express

    Bottom line on the front: My AirPort Express (N) (former model with a single ethernet port) is not listed as an AirPlay device to my iMac (2011) and MacBook Pro (2011).

    QUESTION:

    The EPA is connected to a stereo system in the same room, but away from my iMac.  I'm trying to use the EPAS to play my iTunes from my iMac to the stereo library.  When I click on the AirPlay icon in the menu, I see the ATV listed, but not the MONKEY.  If I use AirPlay on my drives to iOS, I noticed that everything (EPA and ATV).

    BACKGROUND:

    The iMac (as well as all my other Macs) are running El Capitan.  I have FiOS and my iMac is wired (ethernet) to my router from verizon, as is the Time Capsule, which transmits the WiFi to all my devices (all of my devices are newer running iOS 9.3.1) and my MacBook Pro.  I have also two AppleTV connected to the network.  My iMac and MacBook Pro (and iOS devices) see the AppleTV and can AirPlay for them, but only the iOS devices see the AirPort Express Terminal.

    RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEMS SO FAR:

    My utility AP sees the MONKEY (and the TC) and I can handle it without problems (name change, settings, etc.).  My iPhone has no problem to see and using the EPA.  I troubleshoot-made the MONKEY by connecting to my network via ethernet (failed difficulty). reset of the MONKEY (failure of difficulty), turned on my iMac (no resolution) wifi, restarted the network and wifi (impossible difficulty), restarted my iMac and Mbps (failure of difficulty).

    What can I do else?  Thanks in advance.

    I understand in your current network setup you have the cable to the Capsule Time (TC) to the router provided by Verizon. I assume you have the AirPort Express configured to use a wireless connection to the wireless network provided by the TC.

    • What is the brand and model of the router provided by Verizon?
    • Is - this wireless router and it provides a network of Wi - Fi with the TC?
    • The TC and the Verizon router, both configured for a network of itinerant type?
    • The Express is configured to join or extend a wireless network?
    • Are the TC & Express configured as bridges?
  • I want to use a Terminal Airport Express to extend network provided by my Fios router/modem without going through another airport base.  Is there a way to do this?  I understand that Apple does not support this, but surely there must be a way to do this.

    Can someone tell me how to set up an Airport Express Terminal to expand Network provided by my Fios router/modem without going through an airport as a base?  I understand that apple does not support this use, but my applecare Advisor said it's possible.  Thank you!

    Unfortunately, your AppleCare Advisor is wrong if he or she has told you that an AirPort Express to extend wireless signal of a Fios router/modem.

    Function of "Extend a wireless network" Apple is an exclusive feature that was designed by Apple engineers to extend the signal from another wireless only router from Apple. Thus, the AirPort Express... or any other router Apple besides... would not be able to extend wireless a Fios network.

    SO... you have the possibility to locate the Airport Express where it is needed... And... Connect it to the Fios router/modem with a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection, then the AirPort Express can 'extend' in this way.

    Or... If you are ready to add a second AirPort Express, connect the first near Fios modem/router with an Ethernet cable, then the second Airport Express could extend the signal first Express wireless.

    Another way to say the same thing, is that if you want an Apple AirPort router to extend wireless network... then you need two Apple routers to achieve this goal.

  • Configure Airport Express with D-Link router

    I am currently using a router D-Link with my MacBook. I want to use Airport Express plug my MacBook on my amplifier. When I tried to set up the Airport Express, Airport utility can't find it. I can't connect the Airport Express Terminal to the D-Link router by ethernet cable, because the amplifier that I connect it is too far from the telephone jack.

    You use the wireless bridge mode... what apple being different named wireless client mode.

  • 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.

  • How can I set Up Airport Express with an existing router/modem from the ISP

    I have a wireless modem/router ISP and I want to get the ability to use Air Print using a non-Airprint but the USB printer. I suggest you to connect the printer to the Airport Express A1392 Epson) via a USB port to enable the AirPrint features.  However, I guess the Airport Express must be an ethernet to the modem/router ISP connection and then use the Epxress airport more convenient than my wireless router.

    Issues related to the:

    1. do I need to turn off the function the ISP router's wireless when I plugged as stated above? So I wait.

    2. as the Airport Express only has one ethernet port I assume that I can connect my other ethernet connections using a hub 4 ports connected to the Airport Express Terminal.  It will be always possible to use other ports ethernet on the modem/router ISP as well?

    Doug

    I have a wireless modem/router ISP and I want to get the ability to use Air Print using a non-Airprint but the USB printer.

    You may have received incorrect information, because a non-AirPrint on the USB port on an AirPort Express Terminal... or any other router from Apple also printer... do not make the AirPrint-compatible printer.

    You want to continue nevertheless to check that this is true?

    The AirPort Express can connect to the network wireless router using a wireless connection... or... it can connect to one of the router's Ethernet ports using a wired Ethernet connection.

    Wired connections are always preferable wireless if possible for your Express.  Turn off the wireless router is not necessary if you want to connect to the Express using an Ethernet connection.

  • 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

    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?

  • Airport Express does not connect to WiFi!

    My Airport Express has lost its connection to the WiFi and cannot reconnect, keeps flashing yellow!

    It is only used to stream music from my iPad and not connected via ethernet. Its working well for 2 years until he lost the connection to my iPad because I took the iPad out of range of WiFi. Now, I can't get the the airport to connect to the WiFi again.

    I tried to reset button Reset 20 sec, also tried turning setting turned off and now the reset button for a maneuver on once again, however, does not. Any ideas?

  • How can you put in place the first generation Airport Express with Yosemite

    Is it still possible? If this is not the case, can itbee with an iPhone or an iPad?

    Athanasios

    Are you sure that you have a 1st generation AirPort Express?

    It was the 1st version of 802.11"n" products... and you will probably have a lot more older 802.11' b/g ' device that was used long before that Apple has started using the name of 'generation' in 2008.

    Please look carefully at the side of your AirPort Express Terminal to locate the model number. It is difficult to see gray inscription on white background, so you may need good lighting and reading glasses.

    The model of a 1st generation AirPort Express is A1264.

    If you see A1084 or A1088, these are much older devices "b/g" which ranks Apple as obsolete... then they have not been supported for the past 3-4 years in the latest operating systems.

    So again, you have... or can borrow... a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x) or operating system Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC that has AirPort Utility for Windows installed on the device, you can administer the older devices, A1084 and A1088 like that.

  • I am unable to connect to the Linksys WRT54G Router with wired connection to Office XP.

    My two laptops (XP and a Win7) will be connected to the router wireless and wired (ethernet). When it is plugged directly into the DSL modem, the Office connects and works very well. This problem started when I had to replace the DSL modem.

    I inherited this problem for my elderly mother... and it all started because they gave me the router password wrong, who now works (router has been reset) on two laptops, but when connected, the Office doesn't even show a light of connection on the router except during startup. I no longer get a window of logon passwork for the router, and I am unable to connect/ping the router in the office. (192.168.1.1)

    I would like to clarify a few things.

    1. two laptops work fine with cable connections and wireless through the WRT54G.

    2 desktop PC, which has only a wired connection, does not connect successfully.

    3. the symptoms of the failure of the desktop connection to are that the link on the router at the start light flashes during initialization of the PC but then will Dim.

    4. when the desktop PC trying to connect to the internet, it fails.

    5 when the desktop PC try to connect to the administration WRT54g page it fails.

    6. when the desktop computer try PIING the router at 192.168.1.1 IP address it fails.

    These points are correct?

    Assuming this is correct, open a command prompt and type

    IPCONFIG/ALL

    The output of the command should provide some information about the current state of the network connection.

    It would be useful that you posted this here release.

    The absence of a link light can be your main symptom and may be due to several reasons. He probably has an associate status "media disconnected" in IPCONFIG for the network connection.

    This could be caused by a bad network cable or a network connection disabled in the properties of the network on the PC. Small jets knowing the ot IPCONFIG output is would help more.

    Post this info if you can.

    Good luck

  • Low-speed Internet with wired connection to E4200

    I have a HP Pavilion p6347c AMD Athlon II X 4 630 2.80 GHz, 64 Bit, Windows 7 SP1 WITH 16 GB of Ram, using Comcast high speed Internet.

    It works very well and I had no problem with my Pavilion until I replaced my old router G with a LinkSys E4200 (state-of-the-art, the top page of the router line N).  All the features work well, except that when I use Firefox 7.0 or Internet Explorer 9.0, the connection time is very very very slow when my computer is connected to my router with an Ethernet cable.  The problem disappears when I log - in using the same Ethernet cable - directly into the modem high speed; Then, the loading speeds are fast as lightning.  When I return to the router via a wired connection, even - page very very very slow post.

    I've already spent about 8 sessions with LinkSys on the phone and chat, and it turns out that the router is not the problem (according to LinkSys).  They advised that I need to contact the manufacturer of the computer, or people who can respond to Windows 7 support issues.  Someone at - it ideas?  Maybe something I can change in the settings of the firewall, network, computer security options settings?

    I connected my HP laptop running WINDOWS VISTA on the same Ethernet cable and disabled the wireless.  The speed of the wired connection is quick as a Flash - no problem at all.

    Then why my desktop Windows 7 SP1 computer not offer me the same speed?  Whenever I need to do important online work, I have to unplug my Ethernet cable from the router and plug directly on the modem to get faster speeds.  I then reconnect to the router once completed, so that users without wire and devices on my network work.  It's very frustrating.

    Help!  I am at a loss to understand why this computer has not faster to the Internet when wired to the router.  Is - this Windows 7?  There are some options that I need to change?  Someone at - he heard talk about this and you offer solutions?  Appreciate any assistance.  Thank you.  / Jacques novel /- [email protected]

    P.S. Customer LinkSys was no contribution to this issue.  I hope that some tech "warned" this reading will say AH-HAH and offer a viable solution.

    On a hunch, I selected the reset 'Factory Defaults' option in the Administration, after having updated the firmware. Something must have been damaged during the first attempt to install the router.

     

    To reset the default settings, you must have the original Setup disk and re-install using the same router name and the password.

     

    When this was done, the Ethernet connection worked perfectly.  Hope it will be useful to all having the same problem.

  • Help with the help of Airport Express with D-Link switch

    Hi all. I'm not an expert in networking and I'm having some problems with my home network now. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    I'm doing this configuration works for my home network, it's what I have atm:

    Modem (it is a modem with router WiFi included, but it is disabled)---> Airport Extreme (the "tired" model)---> 2 wired iMacs via LAN ports + 1 D-Link 8 port unmanaged wired via the third LAN port.

    The switch does not work. No port light is on in it, although it is on in the AEBS is connected to. All my iMac have an internet connection through EI LAN ports. If I plug my Apple TV instead of the switch that works too.

    I do something wrong or maybe the switch is defective? My switch is a D-Link - 1008a.

    Thank you!

    Everything you say tells us that the AirPort Extreme works normally with the Ethernet devices.

    You have a defective switch / power supply or faulty cable between the switch and the AirPort Extreme.  Test the Ethernet cable on another connection to make sure it works. If this is the case and the small light next to the Ethernet port on the switch does not, while the switch is defective... or... If the switch uses a power supply outside... the power supply may be faulty.
