![]() The window on your screen will look similar to the example below, except that you will see your Express pictured and the name of the Negear wireless network displayed. It will take a few seconds to analyze the network and then suggest the correct setup of the Express to "join" the Netgear wireless network. When you click on AirPort Express, that will start up the AirPort Utility setup "wizard". Just under that listing, click on AirPort Express Look for a listing of New AirPort Base Station The Express has now been reset so that it can be configured again with a new setupĬlick on the WiFi menu at the top of the screen Then, hold in the reset button on the Express for 7-8 seconds and releaseĪllow a full minute for the AirPort Express to restart Power up the Express and let it run for a full minute Make sure that your Mac is currently connected to the Netgear WiFi network Temporarily, move one AirPort Express to the same room or close proximity to the Netgear router ![]() The AirPort Expresses are not "showing up" in AirPort Utility because they have not been configured to "join" the new Netgear network. Last question.If you decide to set up the AirPort Expresses to "join" the Netgear WiFi network as clients.would be whether you plan to set up the Expresses using an iPhone or iPad, or whether you will be using a Mac for this. You will have to try things out to see whether things work the way that you want. In theory, the AirPort Expresses "should" be able to work for AirPlay with the Netgear router, but please understand that the word "should" is not the same as the word "will". In the past, if you had the AirPort Expresses set up to wirelessly "extend" the WiFi network provided by the AirPort Extreme, they will no longer provide that type of service if you connect them wirelessly to the Netgear WiFi network, because the "extend" feature will only work when the Expresses connect to another Apple AirPort router. An Ethernet cable would not be needed for this type of setup. The Expresses "should" work for AirPlay in this type of client setup. If this is what you want.then the AirPort Expresses will need to be reset back to their default settings and set up again to "join" the WiFi network that the Netgear router is providing. Or.is it your goal to have the Netgear router replace the AirPort Extreme? If you do.do you want the AirPort Extreme to continue to also provide a wireless network in addition to the Netgear network? In other words, do you want to have two wireless networks with the AirPort Expresses continuing to connect to the AirPort Extreme WiFi network? would be whether you want to continue to use the AirPort Extreme on your network? So, the first question here.because it will determine how you set up the network. Since you have a new Netgear product working as your main WiFi router, there would really be no reason to use the AirPort Extreme going forward unless you are simply determined to do so until it fails.
