Q: Aiport Express does not connect to router Comtrend ar-5387un
Hi,
I've been using my Airport Express for a while to get connected to my wireless networks and use it just for AirPlay.
However, I have just installed a new router (with a new company, Jazztel Spain). The model is Comtrend ar-5387un. Problem: AE (software version 7.6.3) can create a new network but it is impossible to make it part of the WiFi network created by the new router. Everytime I try, it just go to the flashing yellow light and can't be found anymore from my Mac or iPhone until a hard reset is done.
Any solution?
PS: It got connected twice for a short period of time in the "Expand network" mode (never in the "Connect to network" mode) but when I tried to update the software, it disappeared again.

For some reason, the only way to make this thing work was the following:
1.- Instead of "joining an existing network" straight away, I chose to create a Wi-Fi network and connect my computer to this isolated network.
2.- Once this network is set up, open the AirPort utility and change from there to "Join an existing network", with the name and password of the network I wanted to join, in this case, the one created by the router provided by Jazztel.
And, voilà, it magically worked :S
