If I plugged my Windows 7 pc into an Airport Express via ethernet cable would it allow me to connect to my Airport Extreme wirelessly at 5 GHz and best possible speed? Or would it be best to get a dual band wifi dongle to do this? Any advice much appreciated.

I'm trying to add an airport express unit to my current wireless network so that I can do wireless printing. Well actually it's been in the network for several years but has suddenly stopped working. I am using the 192.168.2... ip addresses and have set my router, with DHCP, to assign ip addresses above 192.168.2.50 so that I can assign static ip addresses to other devices below ...

I would really appreciate advice from the network gurus. I had a system which worked pretty well using an iMAC, Airport Extreme, one of the old AirPort expresses (b/g) and a new AirPort Express(n). I had some blackout spots in the house and occasionally my music would stop and restart so I thought perhaps by shifting things round a little bit I could improve matters. My first problem is ...

I just bought Time Capsule to replace my Airport Express. The wireless connection and internet hook-up work seamlessly. I was told, and read, that I can use my Airport Express to connect to my stereo and stream music from Itunes. I have followed the directions (which say you do not need a hook-up to the modem) and I get nothing but a flashing amber light. I've opened Airport Utility ...

I purchased the Airport express with the intent of streaming my iTunes Library to my stereo. I went through several configuartion options with it finally configuring when I connected connecting the express to my router via an ethernet cable. When I bring the express back upstairs to the room where my stereo is, (after disconnecting ethernet cable), express is not discovered by the ...

I would like to set up airport express to send iTunes to my stereo. Have I read correctly that if I stream wirelessly that I will not be able to be on the web while streaming? Also, I cannot find airport utility on this 2006 iMac. iMac ...

I just purchased an airport express yesterday and from what I understood from the mac salesperson was that I should plug the ethernet cable into the fios modem and then into the airport express and then plug the airport express in. All I'm getting is a flashing amber light and my mac mini (10.4.1) doesn't see the airport express. I've tried resetting the airport express and the modem ...

I have a HP Photosmart C4200 printer which I have had connected to my airport express unit and printing satisfactorily for ages. It was plugged in via a USB cable and I'd given it a static ip address for printing from a UNIX system. I'd got it printing from Windows laptops, Linux laptops and the iMac. It suddenly stopped working earlier in the year and I just plugged it directly into ...

Hi, Im new with Macs and I just got my hands on an old 2004 G5 tower. The tower is in my room which has no direct connection to a broadband ethernet. I have a PC laptop which I can get the internet on via wireless. We have a generic netopia router downstairs. I was told that if I buy an airport express I can use this as a wireless receiver for the G5 in my room but im unsure. Is this ...

Ladies & Gentlemen... After a week of work, two frustrated Apple Genius Bar workers, a stumped local Mac user group, and an increasingly irritated wife, may I beg assistance with the following setup: I purchased an Asus Eee netbook (top of the line with 10.5" screen, Intel processor, 1G RAM, 130G HDD, Win XP, etc.) for the sole purpose of having it run iTunes & serve music to my living room ...

Hi All I have recently added a PS3 to my collection. I am having issues keeping a stable internet connection up to it in our living room. I am thinking of buying an Airport Express to put in our living room to extend our Wifi network but would prefer to connect the PS3 directly via Ethernet. I am wondering if it is possible to connect the PS3 via Ethernet on a new latest model ...

I recently bought a second-hand AirPort Express to expand my home’s wireless network, which is already comprised of two other Airport Expresses relaying internet. I plug in my Airport Express, and it begins to blink its amber light, indicating it’s ready to be set up. I go on to my Windows Vista laptop, and open the Airport Utility to set it up. I am readily able to enter the ...

I set up my Airport Express to connect into my existing home wireless network just so I can run AirTunes through my stereo system. It all set up fine, and I am able to select Airport Express as my speaker choice in iTunes on three networked computers (two laptops both running Win XP and a desktop running Windows 7). However, one of the laptops loses its connection to my home network a ...

So I'm trying to decide which one to buy - Apple TV or Airport Express. My iMac is in the room next door, but I want to stream music over the speakers in my den. Now that I have the Remote application on my iPhone - the music selection process is MUCH more user-friendly. So I know I want to stream music, but what if I want to stream video, podcasts, or other media? I know I know - ...

I discovered that by using an airport express with the 802.11n network (most recent update model as of this post) is capable of using a third party USB hub for multiple printers. I have an all in one EPSON as well as a wide format EPSON and two DYMO thermal printers. All work fine using the Kensignton PocketHub 7-Port USB which includes an AC adaptor to power devices. I previously had ...
