I am plug into a Dlink (wbr-1310) via ethernet to have access to my internet connection by wifi for my itouch. Can i use the airport express with that setup to receive music from itunes? What should I do to have it work? Thanks

Answer

HI,

 

The simple answer is yes you can, All you will need to do Is configure the airport to connect to the D-Link as a wireless client then it should show up in the bottomleft of iTunes as an Airtunes device so you can select it and stream from your G4 iTunes library.

 

Let us know if you need instructions or more info.


Thanks

Hi! That is exactly my problem. How can i set up my airport as client since when i open airport utility it says that it has not found any aple wireless device so i cannot do anything else. Do i have to do something with the router or configure a network in some way? I remind you that for the moment that dlink is wired connected in the ethernet port of the computer (LAN) and my modem is connected as WAN to the router. So i really don't know what i should do to be able to see the airport express as client. Thanks

Ok,

 

In that case we are going to have to direct link the airport to your computer via ethernet cable, Once you have them connected can you then run the airport setup ad see if you can now see the express to configure it to join your existing wireless network then unplug the ethernet from the express ad plug back into the Router once the airport is configured

 

Let me know if the hardwire does not work to configure it.


Thanks

Thank you very much... It is working just fine... Nobody at apple store were able to tell me the way to do it! Thanks again.

Answer

More than welcome.

 

Also bear in mind that now the airport is wireless you can also use it as a wireless bridge to provide a network connection to a device, So if you wanted to move your mac you could plug in like you were when you set it up and it will allow your mac to connect wirelessly.
