    Resolved Airport Express 802.11N Ethernet Bridge

    I picked up a cheap AirPort Express 802.11N with the intent of using it as a wireless-to-Ethernet bridge for an old iMac G3. I've read tutorials of how to set it up that way on modern Macs, but I only have iOS devices, and I can't find the 'Allow Ethernet Clients' setting on the iPhone version...

    So here's the situation I am in. I am trying to use my AirPort express in my university dorm room but the main network uses 802.11x authentication method that the AirPort Express does not support.

    iPhone 13 Pro Max Airplay/Airport Streaming Problem

    I own three Airport Express' (2nd Generation) that I use strictly as Airplay access points for speakers. All are on firmware version 7.8.1. They worked great for several years as Airplay access points. However, roughly a year ago I began noticing these devices dropping Airplay randomly. There...

    Use Airport Express as an Ethernet Switch?

    My Airport Extreme died & I replaced it with an ASUS router: all good. My apt. building is old & wireless coverage is not great, so the way I had connected to my Roku in the living room from the internet access point in the 2nd bedroom was as follows: Cable modem-->router-->MoCA adapter...

    Can Airport Express extend wi-fi from a non-Apple router? /// Airport Extreme wi-fi problem

    Hi. I've done a search of this forum, but I haven't found a definitive answer to this question. I hope someone can help. From time to time, every few weeks, the wi-fi network provided by my Airport Extreme (2nd gen) goes kaput, requiring a restart to set it right. (I never had this problem...

    Home Network issues 4G-router and Airport Express

    After getting lots of HomeKit devices running over wifi I'm getting lots of connectivity issues. Often the connection becomes insanely slow or drops completely, but only for a single device or a few devices, while the others continue at full speed. I have a 4G Huawei router with lousy wifi...

    Airport Express - joins, but then drops connection

    Hi guys I bought a "brand new" Airport Express v2 the other day. Completely sealed and "new" - I know it's from a few years back. I plugged it in, added to my wifi, updated the Express to SW v. 7.8.1. All good. The Express is set to join my existing network. And so it does. Issues: 1) If I...

    Home iPod hifi - Airplay 2 self-contained mod!

    Hey everyone! I've been a longtime Macrumors reader, but haven't posted much. Figured I'd share a project I did recently (and hope this is in the right sub!). I saw the iPod Hifi a couple years ago in person and became slightly obsessed, both with the design and the sound quality. I went on a...

    Home Built a $35 RPi-based AirPlay receiver (replacing a dead Airport Express) - Works great!

    I thought some might find interest in this recent project of mine. I have two of Apple's long-discontinued Airport Express (v1) devices that I've used over the years to stream music from my Mac or iOS devices to two different bookshelf systems in the house via WiFi and the AE's analog audio out...

    Time Capsule instead of Airport Express?

    I am using an Airport Express to extend the LAN, a cable connects it to a router (used as a switch) and the AP simply serves as a WiFi extension of the LAN, I was thinking to replace it with a Time Capsule (found some A1355 with 1TB disk for cheap) as to also have a backup device along with the...

    All Devices Will Airplay stream full-resolution music to an AEX?

    Apologies if this is the wrong place for this or it’s a basic question - I’ve googled but can’t find the answer. If I rip a cd at a high bitrate (say, Apple Lossless) and load it directly to my iPhone 11 Pro, then send via Airplay to an Airport Express connected via optical to an external DAC...
