One other accessory that may be of value is a Audioquest stereo RCA to 3.5mm hard adapter piece rather than a cable to allow you to use RCA's from the AE or external dac to the aux input This cant really be hidden in the center console. I Had a musical fidelity V DAC layin around which is 12V but ill need a DC DC regulated converter. One example is the very small 5V Audioengine D1 DAC at $169 which is easily hidden along with the airport express. You would only need a usb cable routed to a 12v-5v adapter, hardwired or plug in. The easiest would be dacs with 5V requirements. I would like to mention theres other options as far as digital optical audio out from the airport express goes. lossless file transmission is such a revelation.
Once the Express is set up, you can turn off the WiFi if you don't need the additional signal.I have just now gotten around to this idea thanks to the attention of you and kaigoss' thread. This is the same setting as create a wireless network, but Apple calls it extend using Ethernet when 2 AirPorts connect together using Ethernet. This confirms that the setup utility has picked up the Ethernet connection and the correct settings will be applied to the Express The setup utility will indicate that the Express will be set up to extend the network, then indicate that the Express will extend using Ethernet. Release the reset button after the 10 second hold and give the Express a minute to restartĬonnect the Ethernet cable to the WAN "O" port on the Express Hold in the reset button first, and then keep holding it in for another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously power up the Express Unplug the Ethernet cable connected to the Express Try a Factory Default Reset on the Express. This is a common thing that appears when the AirPort Express (or another AirPort router) is not functioning correctly. So far, you seem to be assuming that the used Express is working correctly. With a wired connection, you don't have to worry about the weirdness of WiFi. If you don't need the WiFi service from the Express, you can turn it off using AirPort Utility.įor what it's worth, AirPlay works just fine on my Ethernet connected AirPort Express running firmware 7.6.9. Start over with a Hard Reset, connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN port on your main router to the WAN "O" port of the Express and set it up to create a wireless network. In other words, if you are going to use an Ethernet cable, then the Express has to be configured to use it. If you just connected an Ethernet cable without doing anything else, you are setting up a feedback loop on your network that will effectively crash the network. Plugging an ethernet cable into it and the router just freezes up my network, no matter which ethernet jack I plug it into. A drop down menu will appear with previous versions of firmware that can be reinstalled.

To roll back the firmware, hold down the option key on your Mac and click on the actual version number. You can see the current version of firmware by opening AirPort Utility, clicking on the AirPort Express and looking for version in the smaller window that appears. In addition, the router features 2 ethernet ports for directly. A number of users have reported that the latest version.7.8.1.has a number of issues that were not present in the previous version.7.6.9.so if you have not already done so, try rolling back the firmware on the Express. Use Airplay to effortlessly and wirelessly stream music and movies to all your Apple devices. The next item to check would be to find out what version of firmware the Express is using. Is there any way that you could connect the Express to your main router using an Ethernet cable, so you don't have to use the ancient wireless technology in the Express? Wired connections always work faster and are more reliable than WiFi connections. Step 3: Next up, launch AirPort Utility app on your iOS device or Mac. Step 2: Head into the WiFi settings on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and connect to the newly created AirPort network. Open AirPort Utility and click on the AirPort Express and a smaller window will appear Step 1: First up, plug your old AirPort Express into the wall outlet and wait for it to finish booting up. Unfortunately, the Express does not have the capability to receive an 802.11ac signal, so we're looking at numbers that the Express cannot use.
