Hi guys, I'm having trouble setting up my airport express, hear's the steps I'm following, if anyone has any suggestions what do do I'll be most grateful.
I'm trying to get the airport express to join my existing netgear wireless network. I've installed the CD that came with the airport express on my iMac, connected the ethernet cable to the airport express, and launched airport utility. The initial setup of finding, naming and password protecting the express goes flawlessly. The next step it says "select what you wan't to do with airport express" I select "I wan't airport express to join my currant network" The next step says, "select what you wan't airport express to do" I select "I wan't airport express to wirelessly join my currant network" The next step, choose the wireless network you would like airport express to use" Netgear is selected, the next thing on this window is wireless security, My wireless network is password protected so the options I have are "none, WEP 40 bit, WEP128 bit, WEP transitional security network, WPa WPA2 personal, and wpa2 personal" I'm not Sure which to use so I've tried both WPa WPA2 personal, and wpa2 personal" I get the same result in the end. I then enter my netgear password, and hit continue. It asks me if the settings are correct and I press update. It then says "this device and it's network services will be temporarily unavailable" I press continue. It updates and restarts, then I get a message, "problem 1 of 1, this wireless airport express is setup to join a specific wireless net work that can't be found, If you don't see the network in the network name popup menu enter the network name and password if necessary to try again. The network name and passwords are correct, so I press continue, I get the message, :do you wan't to continue with out resolving this problem? Click ignore to prevent your airport expresses status light from blinking amber for this problem" I then have the options "skip, cancel or ignore" I haven't gotten any further then this. Can anyone tell me what's going on and how to get it to join my existing network? I can't use my wireless internet while the airport express is pluged in, I have to unplug it for my netgear network to work again. Can any one help?
