AirPort Express Unboxing

[burtonzx]

can i use the airport express to extend the range of a cisco e3000, or is it only capable of extending the range of the airport extreme??? PLEASE REPLY

Thanks!!

[andreatunes]

@burtonzx As far as I know you can't.

[laphongtudo]

What do you mean Airport is Extreme wasn't enough? Airport Extreme is better than Airport Express!

[andreatunes]

in my house a single router wasn't enough. i needed an extension.

[MrGCFilms]

Hey i am getting a macbook pro 13'' in summer. i have a dekstop pc with a wireless modem so do i need airport or sumthing like that to connect to use it with my macbook pro 13'' ???????? (wirelessly) ?

[andreatunes]

Your current wireless modem/router will be just fine

[MrGCFilms]

so i dont need to buy it ??

[andreatunes]

Exactly

[MrGCFilms]

cool so what actually the airport express do ??

[RedKnightAL]

@MrGCFilms The Apple Airport Express is either a wireless access point or wireless extender. Plus it is a printer server, airtunes broadcaster and a NAS (without a hard drive).

[dxtriplehh67]

ino have a cable modem it says... power..ds..us..online..link it's blinking...tel 1...tel 2....battery is that right ??? cause my mom said it was :P

[dxtriplehh67]

ok ty

[dxtriplehh67]

So if i get airport exspress and i have a wii and i wana go online you know set the internet up does the airport work for the wii ???

[andreatunes]

In my test it worked flwlessly. Remember that the Airport needs to be hooked up to a cable or dsl modem via Ethernet in order to go online.

[btol1999]

could i connect the ap express to my laptop using an ethernet cable and bridge the two connections wirelessly so i could use the internet connection on it rather than having it by the modem?

[andreatunes]

No, you can't.

[pokefrend]

does this airport exspress wifi work with a wii and a nintendo dsi

[andreatunes]

Once connected to a modem for Internet connection, it surely works with a Wii, and I'd say wit a DSi, too (never tested the portable consolle, though).

[pokefrend]

what modem do you mean a wired can you connect from the wii wifi with the airport

[andreatunes]

Pretty much any modem that can be connected via Ethernet to the Airport

[pokefrend]

so can i go with my wii wifi via the airport

[andreatunes]

As I told you earlier, once the AirPort is connected to a modem via Ethernet, you can use it to go online with any wifi enabled device.

[applemicrosoft1]

Yep

[jlim0]

hey, i just got one of these and im just wondering one thing, can i connect to it while staying connected to my normal wireless router?

[andreatunes]

I don't think so. You gotta switch from one to another.

I use it as a bridge for my network, so the express and the extreme work like thy were just one device.

[fedorkleber]

Haha, your electricity setup looks kinda fire sensitive. I would place a fire extinguisher next to it :p Don't try to hook up your Christmas tree to that power network! ;)

[andreatunes]

I'm gonna die young tldue to all that interferece! And fire risks!

[fedorkleber]

Haha, first your gonna develop a brain tumor from all that wireless data bashing through your brain, then just when you think it couldn't get any worse you'll burn because of all those cables going into one socket. Life can be a b*tch!

[fedorkleber]

Nice vid btw ;)

[ZOZOZOZOZZ]

nice commentary

[andreatunes]

;-)

[darkmurcielago]

Do you absolutely need this to print wireless with a mac? cause i cant seem to connect mine. HELP

[andreatunes]

Not really.

Most printers (I'd say 99%) work on the Mac.

Check out you've installed the correct drivers!

[darkmurcielago]

Well ive tried that and it still doesnt seem to work. So i might have to go to The apple store and ask them if they can help me, cause i have run out of ideas. I checked out youtube vids on how to connect the printers on Mac's, But still no luck. thanx anyways.

[allthingswwe]

what does this thing do?

[andreatunes]

it's a wireless access point. you can use it to create a wifi network (attached to an ethernet modem if you wanna surf the web) or to exted the range of an existing wifi network (better if based on an apple-made router)

[wobudong]

Abaolutely useless. When's the sequel arriving:

How to Open a Paper Bag?

[darkmurcielago]

dude some people are new to this stuff! This guy is making it easier for them to get more acquainted with stuff like this. Stop Hatting!!! LOL

[DiggerOwl]

Is the ethernet port only for a modem, or can I connect a computer to it for internet access?

[andreatunes]

Welll, it depends.

My AP Express is a network extension.

I have an AP Extreme connected to the modem (in the kitchen) and the Express is connected to an iMacG3 via Ethernet. So it provides network and internet access to the iMac (plus the wireless printing and the AirTunes things).

[zeogravity20]

looks like a stungun

[julz567]

can you just buy the aiport express and get a cord and can you get internet from it??????????

[andreatunes]

Sure. Buy the AirPort Express Base Station, plug a modem via Ethernet into it andafter a very quick setup you're ready to go!

[gmailfantube]

if i got one would i have to plug the speakers into my laptop or would it be wireless??

[andreatunes]

Just plug any 3,5" jack equipped speakers into the Base Station, then select the speakers in iTunes and you're ready to go!

Thanks for watching.

[MrNiceQ8Guy]

If I'm a PC user and wanted to print wireless, will I still have to install the printer on my laptop with the printer's installation CD or will I be able to print immediately after I install the airport extreme without installing the printer on my laptop?

[andreatunes]

In my experience I can say that installing the drivers on the computer (Mac or PC) is always a good idea, whether if you print via USB or wirelessly.

[8nguy]

did it come with stickers?

[andreatunes]

No, it didn't.

[veyronman]

nice rings, douchebag

[chance9888]

SWEET!!!! I NEED TO GET ON OF THOSE!

[andreatunes]

I know that some guys could extend the signal of 3rd party's routers.

[chance9888]

You know, you can use airport express as wifi extender for airport extreme... But it only extends the signal for Apple made routers...

[crazyasian300]

chance, i called apple and they said the latest models support 3rd party routers to extend wireless networks such as Linksys routers.

[snooze2341]

so do you pay for the wifi and how do make ti work do you just put in to the wall

[Kromius99]

ughh , yea you plug in into the wall for power, then you plug in an ethernet cable, and if you want a printer

[andreatunes]

first of all: i0m a guy, not a girl. in italy andrea is a male name.

second: in my videos i try to put a lil bit of fun.

you are free to decide if you lije it or not.

[sammyslamma924]

okay, this is kinda stupid...why, at 3:30 into the video, she adds the caption "F*UCK OFF"....what's w/ the asterisk???? now, correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't those little characters to replace a letter? so, it would read "F**K OFF" instead of "FUCK OFF"??????????? just thought i'd mention it....

[andreatunes]

i had an extreme base station and i extended its range with the express base station.

in the setup program for the bases (airport utility) you can choose if your current base is a "stand alone" one or if it's extending an existing range.

simply select the current base, and then choose if it is a primary, a remote or a bridge one.

[ryanfootball21]

sweet

[andreatunes]

thanks, man!

[ryanfootball21]

hey how do you extnd the network with the extreme?

[xXSabastianXx]

why cant they just make one manual with everything in it instead of making 5 diferent ones that get lost and mixed up with others

[andreatunes]

because there are different manuals for different languages (italian is only in pdf format).

[xXSabastianXx]

who says you cant just put it all in one book though

[andreatunes]

u r right

[MacBookGuy91]

Those plugs look so sturdy i guess its because of the long prongs the power part it on the end maybe it is some kind of safety thing made years and years ago.

[MacBookGuy91]

I have the same printer. Just not from Italy. Those are some strange plugs but i see the adapters a lot in the us and out plugs are diffrent

[syphonx06]

hey man, i just got mine yesterday :) but ive got a problem.. i cant join my wireless network :( do u know why??? i cant even join with my time capsule x__X hope u could help me with AP express

[andreatunes]

try to reset the new base station.

then replug it and reconfigure it from the beginning.

[macmastery]

so you need an airport extreme then you can buy a aiport express to extend the range only or can you use it as an individual router? Thanks

[andreatunes]

you can set up a wireless network just with an airport express. obviously the extreme is more "versatile".

i strongly suggest you to go to the apple website and check this out.

[helmuthelmut]

you can use it as a router without airport extreme

[ironbam7]

can you use it as a acess point to say conect my xbox to

[andreatunes]

i'm sorry.. i don't know..

[iamanorange]

yup

[jamieevans14]

really im so buying this

[sunnz]

Doesn't it come with an extension power cord?

[andreatunes]

no.

no cables are included (neither an ethernet cable).

[nrlg]

hi! I know that i can extend the range of my wireless conexion with the airport express. but can i do it using a linksys wireless router or i got to have the airport extreme?

thanks a lot!

like your video a lot! ;D

[andreatunes]

officially the AP base stations can cooperate only with an apple wireless system, but u can find some tips on line.

try to learn more..

thanks for ur comment

[Brnboy313]

so wait how did you set it up? do you have the extreme in one room. then plug in the xpress in another, hook up the printer via usb and that was it? the mac recoginzed the printer immediatly? is the box actually purple or blue? cant tell

[andreatunes]

exactly: the one u described is my set up!

and yes, this is how i configured my express with my usb printer and my remote speakers.

the box is blue, it seems purple because of my webcam.

[DjGslyde]

I hooked everything up properly but I'm having difficulty's setting up the process to my desktop pc

[andreatunes]

i do not use PCs, i'm sorry

[mongoosecage]

don they give u an ip for it or some website? so u could type it in the url and set it up or use the cd? I dunno I own an ordinary alternative.

[DjGslyde]

can you hook up an external hard drive using the usb plug? or is it just for a printer?

[andreatunes]

no hard drives, just printers with the Express.

If u wanna plug an external hard disk in u have to buy the Extreme, wich is really amazing (and a lil bit expensive).

[Kaboom214]

im really confused about this lol

but if u plug ur ethernet into the bottom of the AP express from your DSL modem can u get a wireless connection?

because im sick of plugging my laptop in all the time.

thanxx =)

[andreatunes]

sure.

once u plug a modem into the AP express u get the wireless internet connection for just $ or € 99.

[NYR1668]

can you set up a connection with just the express?????

[andreatunes]

sure u can.

just plug an ethernet DSL or cable modem into the ethernet port on the bottom side of the AP Express and in 5 to 10 minutes u r ready to go.

More details? go to appledotcomslashairportexpress

[drtydzn12]

Sorry for stupid question. But I thought the Base Station alone allows you to share printers between other PC's/Macs wirelessly. Now I have to buy the Express as well?

[andreatunes]

you can have just one of the basse station from apple.

they both allow u to share printers

[nickdotvr]

5 stars and a question, I know with Apple products setup tends to be VERY straight forward, still I'm just curious how easy was it to set this thing to pick up the current wi-fi signal from your Extreme and amplify it?

[andreatunes]

thank for your comment(s) and for the 5stars.

it has been really, really simple to set up the expres as a bridge, as a remote base station.

but ine day it stopped working.

i resetted it, but noway..

i called an assistance center, they had my express per almost 1 month, they returned it to me saying it was all fine, no problems during the tests.

i re-setted up it and now it's working extremely good.

[andreatunes]

my box is light blue, is my fuckin' cam that makes color so unreal.

thanks for your comment!

visit my channel!

[macjuampa]

I got one yesterday, .. and the color of the inside box of mine aiport express is light blue, and yours seem to be light violet. Is it the video.. o your box it's different than mine? cool video!

[andreatunes]

thank you!

[MrYapper07]

what the f**k LOL LOL good vid!

[ciocioio]

bellissimo video.

c'ero anche io!

[Cheesepuff0005]

good first song "figures a and b by hellogoodbye" nice unboxing

[andreatunes]

thank you! well, Ghost is nice too!

[andreatunes]

- i use the express as an extension of the main access point (extreme), but i'm pretty sure u can use this as the main access point.

- i placed the express near my mum's pc, so she can unplug the printer from the AP Express and print via usb. place it far form microwaves and cordless phones.

[technologicalgenius]

if you get this do you need a main router or is it just an extension

[bladiebla17]

Where did you place the xtreme?, for max range place it in the middle of your house, it's just a suggestion.
