Tips and Troubleshooting

You can quickly solve most problems with AirPort
Express by following the advice in this chapter.

The AirPort Express Software Can’t Detect the Proper AirPort Hardware

Make sure that the computer you are using has an AirPort Card or an AirPort Extreme

Card installed. If you recently installed the card, shut down your computer and make

sure the card is properly installed. Make sure that the AirPort antenna is securely

connected to the card (you should hear a click when the antenna is connected

securely). Make sure that the other end of the card is firmly inserted into the connector

in the AirPort Card slot.

If you are using a computer with Windows 2000 or Windows XP, make sure the wireless

card or adapter is installed correctly. See the documentation that came with your

computer to check the connection. If you are using a computer with Windows XP,

make sure you have installed Service Pack 2.

You Can’t Play Music on Your Stereo From iTunes

Make sure your AirPort Express is plugged in to a power outlet, is in range of your

computer, and that you have connected the appropriate cables. You may need to join

the AirPort Express network.
