Airport Express

I recently moved to a new apt.

In the old apartment things were working perfectly.

I was able to connect my MBP, iPad, Android and AppleTv.

Now, after settting things up in the new place, only the MBP will connect via the wireless. So weird.

The only error reported in Airport Utility is that there is "No Internet Connection".

Thoughts?

I've tried multiple times messing with the network status (b/g, n only, etc) as well as changing the network. It is currently in Bridge Mode.

ANYYYY and erry help would be greatly appreciated.

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.4

What happens if you power off the MBP, wait a few minutes, and then try to connect with another device....say the iPad after it has been powered off for a few minutes?

No, I haven't powered it off.

I don't think the issue is with the MBP. I *have* done hard resets of the iPad and other devices though. And they still won't connect.

I am not saying that the issue is with the MBP. I want to see if the AirPort Express will only allow the MBP to connect.....or whether it will only allow one device.....any of your devices......to connect at one time.

To find this out, the MBP needs to be powered off.....then see if another device can connect while the MBP is off.

Once we have the results, we will know what step to take next.

No I know for sure the Airport allows the MBP to connect to the Express because that's how I'm accessing the internet currently. I'm not hardwired (via ethernet) but am able to be "connected" to WiFi (my network) and can access the internet that way.

So I know it can access the internet on the MBP.

Please power off the MBP.

I want to see if another device can connect while the MBP is off.

OK, thanks for checking that. This is going to be difficult to diagnose.

Please describle how the network is configured. In other words, what connects to what?

Start with the Internet connection from the wall plug. You have a co-ax or phone cable that connects to the modem, correct?

What is the make and model number of your "modem"?

Is the AirPort Express connected to the modem using an Ethernet cable? The cable connects from what port on the modem to what port on the AirPort Express?
