Q: mac mini wont see airport express

I've been using my airport express to stream music through my stero (and that is ALL...  NOTHING FANCY! :|   )  I can no longer see the AirPort Express from the mac Mini.

 

I can plug the mini into the AirPort (using an ethernet cable) and see it using the AirPort Utility (v5) with no problem.  I can see that it is configured properly, the firmware is up to date, and it is connected to my home WiFi.  While conneced via cable, I can even stream the music with no problem.

 

As soon as I disconnect the cable, it's gone.  I can see it from my iPhone, and laptop, but not from my Mini.

 

Mini is running OS X  V10.6.8

AirPort is model  A1264

 

Any Suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

KEG

AirPort Express 802.11n (1st Gen), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    Hello KEGmyster,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    For more information on this, take a look at:

     

    AirPort base stations: How to find the Wi-Fi network when it doesn't appear normally

    If only one computer is affected:

    1. Check the settings on your computer and make sure Wi-Fi/AirPort is enabled.
    2. Make sure your computer is in range of the AirPort base station

     

     

    Best of luck,

    Mario
