I have a Belkin 54g router and MacBook Pro.

I use AE express to play music from my Mac through to a Bose system. I too have a problem in getting my AE 802.11g to link up with my network and would greatly appreciate some help. (Not that that is a good solution, but such knowledge would help in troubleshooting.) This is just guess though - I'm certainly not a networking expert! What I'm thinking is that the AEx is losing its IP address (which it normally gets from the router) and that by asking for new one it might start working again. Assuming you get it working and then it stops working again: Use Airport Utility to edit the AEx device, go to the Internet tab and click the button labelled "Renew DHCP Lease". Very strange problem - I hope we can get it working for you because AirPlay is fantastic, in my opinion! Also, if it does stop working again, try simply unplugging and re-plugging the AEx power cord, if you haven't already tried that. Pay close attention to see that it really stops working after the Mac reboot.

I don't use an AirPlay Speaker Password.Ĭlick the Update button and that should do it. Wireless tab: Network Mode: Join a wireless network Wireless Network Name: pick your wireless router's network name Security to match.ĪirPlay tab: Enable AirPlay, of course. ( Or, are you trying to use static IP addresses?) You don't need anything on the Internet Options button. I think after you update the AEx, the IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask, and Router Address should all be filled in for you. I'm assuming your wireless router is acting as a DHCP server - that's the typical situation. You shouldn't have to set anything else on this tab.

I'm using Airport Utility 6.3.1 (the latest) running on Mountain Lion (but should be the same for Mavericks, if that's what you're running).īase Station tab: give it a name and password if desired However I'm using a Time Capsule as my base router. I've got an AEx set up the way you are trying to do it and the only issues I ever had were related to signal strength (I believe), so I'm sure it can be done. What brand/model of wireless router are you using? Still, that should be OK, but it might have behavior/configuration options I'm not familiar with. You haven't said what brand/model you've got, so I'm guessing it's not an Apple device. Instead, it's my guess that it's something about your wireless router or its configuration. I'd bet you configured the AEx correctly (though I'll try to give instructions below). Maybe something about rebooting the Mac causes your router to do something. The AEx isn't "connected" or "talking to" the Mac - it's connected to your wireless router. It seems *very* strange to me that it stopped working when the Mac was rebooted! I can't think of anything that could cause that, though something obviously is. I guess after the reboot the AEx is flashing orange again? Thanks for moving the AEx into the wireless router room to try to eliminate that possible cause.

I use "WiFi Explorer.app" which I believe is free in the Mac App store. Also, you can use an application to see which channels are most congested and most clear in your particular location and change your network to the less congested channel. If I'm right you want either get a better signal to it or connect it with an Ethernet cable (best for performance and reliability but understandably not acceptable in some cases).Ĭan you move the router and new Express closer to each other, even though they are in separate rooms? Or move them so that the signal can travel through less wall/furniture mass? That * may* help. If so, after a reset it might work again (or maybe not) it might work for a week and then stop working. Signal strength/reception varies due to a lot of circumstances, and my guess is that it was strong enough at first but then the Express "dropped" the signal and has been unable to re-aquire it. My guess is that the WiFi signal at the new Airport Express's location is weak - on the borderline of useability. You said it worked at first, and now it doesn't. Look at the pictures to find the reset button location and follow the instructions under "How do I reset my AirPort base station?" You'll probably want to do a "Factory default reset." You have either Airport Express 1st-gen or 2nd-gen (more likely).
