Using the Airport Express Terminal as a bridge

I would like to get video Amazon on my older Blu - ray player.  I was wondering if I could use my old AirportExpress (1st generation) as a bridge.  Now my new Comcast modem connects to my Time Machine that gives me my wireless connection. I tried to connect to the airport & connecting to my Blu - ray via ethernet cable, but I just get a flashing yellow light and the DVD on the screen tells me just the internet connection failed. Is this possible?

Now my new Comcast modem connects to my Time Machine that gives me my wireless connection.

I think that you wanted to say that you have a Time Capsule that produces the signal of your wireless network, correct? (Time Machine is a software on your Mac used to back up the Mac on another hard drive).

I was wondering if I could use my old AirportExpress (1st generation) as a bridge.

In 'bridge', do you mean you want the AirPort Express to receive a wireless signal of the time and then wireless Capsule to deliver one Ethernet signal to the DVD player?

The answer is 'yes' to the offer that you really have a 1st generation AirPort Express. To check, look for the model number on the side of the Express in the small print. It starts with an "A" followed four digits.  A 1st Gen AirPort Express is A1264 model number.  What is the number that you see?

I tried to connect to the airport & connecting to my Blu - ray via ethernet cable, but I just get a flashing yellow light and the DVD on the screen tells me just the internet connection failed

Assuming you have a 1st Gen Airport Express, the device must be set up and configured to work with time Capsule. The AirPort Express doesn't quite work simply by plugging.

  • Is it possible to use the AirPort Express to AirPlay only? (Wireless)

    Hello

    I have a speaker and I would empower AirPlay for it. I have an old airport express here in my house and I wanted to plug my express from the airport to my wireless network and allow the airplay.

    The only thing I don't want to not remove is the possibility to extend the wireless network, because I'm pretty sure it will do more bad then good, since I was a big of AC very close to the speaker wireless router. (http://www.asus.com/us/Networking/RT-AC5300)

    Is it possible to use the Airport express only airplay? Without trying to extend my network?

    Thanks in advance!

    Kind regards

    Tiago

    Yes, if you have the main router near the speakers... then simply plug the Express into the enclosure of the ethernet... Run it in Bridge mode and turn off wireless... Then check if you can find it in iTunes etc to send the stream of airtime.

    Or you can configure it to join a wireless network... it will not extend... Apple call it client mode.

  • 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.

  • iPhone not recognizing only no internet after installing the new cable router attached to the Airport Express Terminal.

  • You can access time capsule iTunes library using the Airport express

    Hello

    I I have an Apple Airport express and listen to music from my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro. I have just bought a Time Capsule from Apple and saved my MacBook to this. I would like to listen to the music of my Time Capsule, as is always on.

    Anyone know if this is possible?

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, your new Time Capsule is not an iTunes server. This is, in itself, it can not stream audio files stored on the internal hard drive to an AirPort Express or Apple TV point. You will still need to use iTunes on your MBP to do. You would just point to the media library on your Time Capsule in the case of iTunes. (Note: However, if your iTunes library is stored on the Time Capsule as a Time Machine backup, this no longer works.) "It will take a stand-alone copy of the one that was on your MacBook.)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to connect the Airport express as an Extender for airport extreme to El Capitan

    I have a model extreme A1521 airport and a model express airport A1392 and upgraded my OS to El Capitan. I want to use the express as an Extender for the extreme because my old House is long and has thick walls. My problem is that Airport utility will not 'see' the express, regardless of its proximity to the main router (extreme). I tried to move and reset.

    Of course, as soon as I get the utility to see, I need instructions on how to configure the express as a booster for my extreme.

    Any ideas?

    Unplug the Express and put it in the same room as the AirPort Extreme.

    Put power on the Express for a few minutes, then hold down the reset button on the back of the Express for 7 to 8 seconds and release.

    Allow a minute for the Express to restart

    Click the WiFI icon at the top of the screen of the Mac

    Look for an announcement of the new AirPort base station

    Click directly on the AirPort Express Terminal

    When you click on AirPort Express, the "Wizard" will open and take a few seconds to analyze things, and then see a screen that looks like the figure below, except that you can see your cameras.

    Type a short and simple name that you want to call the Express

    Click next

    The installation wizard will take care of everything for you

    When you see the message Setup is complete, unplug the Express and move to halfway between the AirPort Extreme and the area of the House that needs more coverage of wireless signal

    Turn on the Express and you're all set

    Important note... the Express to expand the quality of the signal it receives. About half of the potential speed on the entire nextwork is lost when you extend using a wireless connection between the airports.

    It would be much better if you could connect the Express to the extreme by using wired Ethernet wired, permanent, since there is no loss of signal via the Ethernet cable and there is always a lot of loss of signal through the air, the (thick walls especially) walls, ceilings, etc.

    I don't want to use the PIN audio output on the Airport express, as it is analog

    Perhaps you weren't aware that audio port on the AirPort Express audio book Terminal analog or digital, according to the type of connector used. See this link on the AirPort Express specifications to confirm... http://www.Apple.com/Airport-Express/specs/

    In other words, for the Express deliver audio analog, connect a standard stereo mini plug with connectors appropriate to the other end.  To ensure that the Express deliver audio digital, plug a mini Toslink cable to the audio port on Terminal AirPort Express.  An example is in this link...

  • 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.

    It does not appear on my Smart TV and my TV from fire.  Both devices have seen my old 5 Ghz router.

    I'll put something wrong?

    The 5 GHz band is limited in scope. Where is the Terminal AirPort situated Express regarding the Smart TV & TV of fire? What exact model of the AirPort Express you have? Y at - it other routers (wireless or not) in your current network configuration?

    Your 5 GHz network uses a name of network with spaces or special characters? Your network is hidden?
