A Little Late To the Party - Just Got An Airport Express And Need Help.
ChiroVette:
Hey everyone! I am quite sure this topic(s) has been asked and answered about a million times, so can someone point me in the direction of the threads that can help me with:
1. Setting up the DL1608 with my new Airport Express?
2. How do I use it to play break music wirelessly?
Thanks and sorry for what is likely the millionth thread on this! :police:

Doesn't look like anyone has specifically addressed this issue. Last night's show, I couldn't get any devices to connect using Wifi. I also have an new airport express. So I'm going to spend some time on this today. (Second show tonight.) It worked just fine during last week's show. (Could see it last night but never quite hook up.) I'm guessing the fact that I took it off dhcp duties might be part of the issue. The other thing is I like a class C mask. Most computers default to a class B mask and that might need to be changed. People has talked about just using the defaults with a strong password. (I use a passphrase. Easier to remember and much harder to crack.) I plan to hide it in the future. My current plan it to fully reset the unit and then configure it again. (I didn't have internet access when I originally set it up. That might have been a mistake. It's still located outside of internet access.)
So DHCP, Class B mask, Passphrase. If everything looks solid tonight, I'll stop broadcasting the Wifi name. (NoInternetHere in my case.) Will probably add some more stuff later today.

One more thing. The Airport Express defaults to both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz. I left mine set up that way so I could use my iphone 4S too. (It doesn't do 5 Ghz) Also, 2.4 Ghz has the longer range, but it also is much more likely to have competition for bandwidth.

All right, I am just going to use my Netgear then today since I just got the Airport Express yesterday and I don't want to futz around with it for this afternoon's show if I am not sure what I am doing quite yet. I will save the Airport Express for the next show. Thanks.

tested is always good. And trouble doesn't always occur on the first night out. Have a good gig.
