ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall. The danger with this is you lose your internet connection and then cannot get it back. See if you can access it during the 5min and make the changes you need.

ie the AE main password will return to public. this allows you 5min of access without security and will change all the passwords to factory. Someone could have setup the unit to lockout changes. I have rebooted both computers as well as the router and the behavior doesn't change. It doesn't even see the device.though it does remain connected to the internet. With that device I have attempted to connect both wirelessly and via an ethernet cable. I have also attempted to use AirPort utility 6.3.2 on my wife's MacBook Pro.
Notable it never asks for the device password. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again." There is an error number 10057. When I select "continue" to try to modify the settings, it says it's reading from the device and then gives an error message "An error occurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device. If I run AirPort Utility (windows) v5.6.1 it finds the base station (says it's version 7.7.3 if that's meaningful). I have several devices connected to the internet via this router, including the Samsung laptop I am typing this question with. take note of this IP because you can then always find the Express by using configure other.I have an Airport Extreme base station that is about a year old. The current settings from the modem router will then stick on the express. in order for this to not happen again you must set a static IP on the express.
then the express should be setup in bridge mode. Once reset the Express will appear again in the airport utility but you will need to reconfigure it.ģ. power on the express and keep holding in reset about 10sec until front LED flashes rapidly. hold in the reset button and keep holding. No luck with the restart you then need to do reset.įirst reset is soft. very helpful for finding stray routers.Ģ. which means you need to buy a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter. that can also help to plug in by ethernet. and see if that will work.ĭoes your MBP have ethernet port. see if you can find the Express in the airport utility. but since you have no way to do that at the moment.
Tesserax has correctly stated that you have to fix the condition by opening it in the airport utility. You are in the catch22 where the airport utility is not showing the airport express but the airport express is flashing to tell you something is wrong. (In order to reconfigure the router I performed a hard reset in order to tell it to join the new network.)(Edit: I can ping the Express even after it is no longer visible on AirPort Utility or selectable via iTunes.) 1899 3

Same behavior.It's not lost on me that 5 minutes is also the period of time after a reset where access control is deactivated, as described in this article: How to reset your AirPort base station - Apple Support. If I cycle the power to the Express I'll get the same behavior - visible for roughly 5 minutes, then gone - but the music continues to play.As an experiment I reset the Express to join the router's 2.4Ghz network. Then it "disappears" - but if I'm streaming music to the Express, it will continue to play for as much as a few hours before the stream drops. For approximately 5 minutes it is visible as an AirPlay target and visible to AirPort Utility. Everything in the network is working fine - except my AirPort Express.I reset my Express to join the new router's 5Ghz network. AirPort Express "disappears" after 5 minutes For years I've been streaming music to my stereo via an AirPort Express with fair success (frequent dropouts, sync issues, etc.)I've just replaced my AirPort Extreme base station with a state-of-the-art Linksys wifi router now that I've added satellite Sonos speakers and needed better speeds/range.
