    What is your goal with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX)? That is, do you intend to use it to extend the range of the existing wireless network or just for iTunes streaming and/or sharing a USB printer? Regardless, what it make and model of the router that is providing the current wireless network? Which exact model of the AX do you have?

    Thankyou for your reply. The goal is to connect my radio to the network to play music from my Iphone. The model of the router is Zyxek P-2601HN-F1 and the AX is a Model No. A1264.

    The ZyXEL P-2601HN-F1, as you know, is a combination DSL modem & 802.11n wireless router (or gateway device).

     

    For your goal you will want to take a look at this Apple Support article for details on how to configure an AX for iTunes.

     

    If you are still having difficulties with the AX joining the ZyXEL's wireless network, you can try the following:

    • Temporarily disable wireless encryption.
    • If you are hidding the SSID, disable that feature.
    • Change the Mode Select setting to: 802.11g Only
    • Change the Channel Selection from "Auto" to a set channel, like 1, 6, or 11
