![]() ![]() I didn't push after spending the last 20 minutes on the phone with a CSR. Thanks for taking the time to reply, everyone Then when you go to change the AX to "Participate in a WDS network" you get the same message. Most of the posts mirror my dufficulties in getting it to work - i.e., setting the AEBS to "Participate in a WDS network" won't let you update because it complains you need another WDS device in the system. If rgG's is NOT an A1084, then it's likely both of you are right and I'll just put the one I have on CL for someone interested in air tunes or printer service only.īTW, if anyone has a step-by-step for setting up AEBS and AX to "Participate in a WDS network" (that's known to work - I can't tell you how many posts I read on the web describing failed attempts). Gareth - can you point me to the place where you found the information that it will NOT work (because if that's accurate, I'll stop banging my head on the wall) and rgG - would you be able to tell me the model number of the one you're using successfully? ![]() On the other hand, since I seem to recall it working as as rgG states his is - I'm thinking my current experience is due to faulty configuration. I'm inclined to go along with both of them because my experience says both are true. Therefore, if you need to support wired clients and only want to get one base station (or router, as it's the routing capacity of AirPort Express that is relevant here), you should get the AirPort Extreme Base Station instead. Assuming that your Internet service provider only gives you one IP address (the most common scenario for homes), this means that AirPort Express can only accommodate wired clients when acting as a WDS remote base station or bridge. When it is set up as a WDS remote station, it can act as a LAN port. When the AirPort Express is using network address translation, the Ethernet port acts as a WAN port. However, it never acts as both simultaneously in the way that the original AirPort Base Station (Graphite) can. ![]() Question: Since AirPort Express only has one Ethernet port, does it act as a LAN port, WAN port, or both?Īnswer: Depending on how you have it set up, the Ethernet port can function as a LAN port (defined as either simple bridging or sharing your Internet connection via network address translation) or a WAN port (connecting to your broadband Internet service provider or upstream router). I just remembered I did get do software update to the airport software recently - since I last recall using it successfully. Or perhaps I have it configured incorrectly. I Googled and can't find whether this setup "Join a wireless network" and then connect using an ethernet cable to a client - is supported on this model. Also, the AX "N" successfully connects my TiVo to the internet for program updates wired in the same manner.Īir Tunes works fine on the AX A1084, BTW. Cable and PC are fine when directly connected to the AEBS. It seems that I recall I was using it earlier in that manner successfully, but now, making a wired ethernet connection between the AX and a laptop shows "no cable connected" on a PC. Question is: Does this AX not support running an ethernet cable from the AX to a computer that lacks wireless support. Version is 6.3 - all software is up to date per Airport Software Update - No updates to AirPort Utility or any of your Apple wireless devices are available at this time. After resetting to defaults, I set it to the following:Īllow Ethernet clients is not available (doesn't show in the Wireless setup page) ![]() My current home network consists of an Airport Extreme Base Station AEBS - "N" and an Airport Express AX - "N" from which I have an ethernet cable running to my TiVo. ![]()
