What type of speakers do I need?Īny speakers featuring a 3.5mm audio cable are acceptable candidates for this project. You can purchase an Apple AirPort Express on sites such as eBay. You may also have success with the earlier AirPort Express (first generation) model, but due to the second-gen’s increased speed, it remains the focus of this guide. We are paying close attention to the AirPort Express (second generation), as it can be added to any pair of existing speakers you may have and transmit a high-definition audio stream wirelessly, thanks to its support for the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard. While Apple has since discontinued its AirPort products, including the Express, they can easily be found online for a small amount of money.

In 2004, Steve Jobs introduced the AirPort Express, a small device that could act as a wireless network switch and access point, plus a USB print server and streaming audio receiver.

How will the Gen 1 connect to the network.wired or wireless? Suggest that you set up the Gen 1 first and leave the Gen 2 powered off for Gen 1 will connect to the Gen 2 either by wired or wireless connection.in which case it would make sense to set up the Gen 2 first. If the Gen 1 is going to connect to the network using a wireless connection, then you would not use an Ethernet cable at all either during the setup or installation of the Gen 1. not your Mac.using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection.
If you performed a Hard Reset on the Gen 1, then that would have reset it back to factory default settings.īut, you would not use an Ethernet cable to set up the Gen 1 unless it was going to connect to your network router. I completely understand both these products are end of life, however if anyone has any ideas or suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

I did a trace route from a W10 PC (IP address 192.168.1.XX): W System.err: : failed to connect to /192.168.1.22 (port 5000) from /192.168.1.YY(port 43274) after 60000ms: isConnected failed: EHOSTUNREACH (No route to host)

Hify did show this log (fyi 192.168.1.YY is an Android Smartphone):
However as soon as I attempted to stream, the device disappeared from Spotify (via Hify). Network Scanner did not show the MAC address or the Vendor (via OUI) (just the IP), which I've not seen before. However the Unifi Controller, Hify (Android) and Network Scanner (W10) showed the device on its allocated IP address - 192.168.1.22. If I connected an ethernet cable to our switch, our network would grind to a halt. I then hard reset the Gen 2, called it "Upstairs Deck Music", and again it disappeared on restart. I tried "configure other", with and without the ethernet connected, however that showed the -6753 error. I hard reset the Gen 1, and followed the normal setup (ethernet cable directly into W10 laptop), however when it restarted, it disappeared from Airport. The green light was on, it showed in iTunes and Hify, however as soon as I tried to stream music, both Spotify (which streams to AAE via Hify) and iTunes "lost" the AAE, and the only way to play music was via the local device. At the same time, the Gen 1 would not stream music. So I turned off the Gen 2 and put it away. As soon as I disconnected an ethernet cable from the AAE Gen 2, everything recovered.
Sometime in December, my home network became unresponsive. Until recently, both have been rock-solid with green lights, and music in our house whenever (and wherever an AAE was) we wanted. We use 2 x AAEs (Gen 1 and Gen 2) on a home wired/wifi network to stream music, using either Airfoil/Spotify or iTunes (W10) or Hify (Android).
