Aug 28, 2015 11:31 AM in response to elimanning99by Bob Timmons,You don't indicate what model of Express that you have, or what operating system that you are using on the device that will be used to configure the Express.......but in general, you have to use Apple's setup "wizard" to set up the Express to create a wireless network....call it anything that you want....and then once the Express is set up, you go back in using AirPort Utility to turn off the wireless function.
The result is an Express that connects to your network using Ethernet correctly, so AirPlay functions as well correctly.

Aug 28, 2015 11:37 AM in response to Bob Timmonsby elimanning99,Okay,
I have the AirPort Express 802.11n 2nd Generations and running windows 10.
So after i set this up, the airplay feature will be automatically connected when I am on "house wifi" and will it use the range from the Access Points connected to
house wifi?

Aug 28, 2015 11:42 AM in response to elimanning99by Bob Timmons,Do you have AirPort Utility installed on your PC? If you do, then you do not have to use Apple's setup "wizard" at all and you can manually set up the Express exactly the way that you want.
If you don't have AirPort Utility installed on the PC, what device will be used to set up the AirPort Express?

Aug 28, 2015 11:53 AM in response to elimanning99by Bob Timmons,★HelpfulBig difference. There is no "wizard" in AirPort Utility for Windows.
Reset the AirPort Express back to factory default settings
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> ports on the router to the WAN "O" port on the Express
Open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab below the icons and name the Express, assign a password, adjust time, etc.
Click the Wireless tab below the icons and change to setting for Wireless Mode from Create a wireless network to Off
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update at the lower right of the setup window, wait a minute for a green light and you should be all set
AirPlay is automatically enabled by default
