If things do not work correctly at this time, you have a problem in the long Ethernet cable.since you know that things were working with other spare Ethernet cable. If there is.then move the Express back to the location where it is needed, connect the long cable, and power up the Express. When you see the message of Setup Complete, check again to see if there is a solid line between the Time Capsule and AirPort Express. If you don't see this, then there is something wrong with the Ethernet cable or with the Ethernet port(s) on the Time Capsule or AirPort Express. Make sure that you see that the AirPort Express is being set up to 'extend using Ethernet' during the setup. Run through the setup again as detailed above

On my Synology router I can go to a few different places. (called different names in different places) Now you can go to the main router of your network and look up the DHCP table. I reset a Gen1 Express and plug it by ethernet to my main router. If you don't have a Mac with ethernet port use PC with airport utility or buy a suitable dongle.įor older version with just one ethernet or the Gen2 you can also plug it directly to your main router and then proceed to do the configuration.Īirport Utility does offer an alternative approach but you must know the ethernet address of the Airport.įor example.

ie using iPad or iPhone.Įthernet is much more reliable. My suggestion is to plug it directly to your computer by ethernet if the above fails. it is at least still alive to some degree.
