Apple Airport Express

[Iluvblue]

I bought an apple airport express a while back and have been using it HARDWIRED. I am now trying to use it wireless and I can not get it to be located by the airport express utility. It scan and says no airport express is found. I moved it right next to my router and still nothing.

If I hook in the Ethernet cable, it works perfectly allowing me to stream music from my PC into my home stereo using Itunes. i want this done with no cables.

Those of you that have one, shouldnt you just be able to plug in the base and then wait a few minutes, open the utility and it should be found? I have already put in the passwords to the thing when I had it wired into my system, but once I remove the Ethernet cable, it is lost.

how far away is it from your base station? Is your base apple also?

the base station would just be the wireless router... NO???

If it is not hardwired- it needs to be off of another (wireless) router

When you say IT what are you referring to? All I have is the airport express that plugs into the wall. So are you saying that if THAT airport express is not hardwired, i will then need another piece of Apple hardware?? The base station?

I think what I have is the base station. Plugs into the wall, can be hardwired, here is what I have.

and that piece should be able to connect up through my router, but I can not get it found using the apple airport express utility. I should be able to plug that thing into the wall, and then like a laptop, it should find the network and then using the utility that you install, it should locate that airport express, but it doesnt.

The it is the airport express- it needs to be either hardwired to the computer(or router) or if acting wireless-you need a wireless router. I believe that there are some issues with some non-apple wireless routers
