If you have not already done so, perform a Hard Reset on the Express as follows:.Temporarily, move the Express close to the FIOS modem/router.
SET UP AIRPORT EXPRESS AS WIFI EXTENDER MAC
Here are some instructions on how to “join” the Airport Express to your current network depending on whether you use your Mac or iPhone version of the Airport Utility to do the set-up. Once you get the Express to join your network, you can use either the LAN or the WAN port, or both simultaneously….since both ports behave as LAN ports when the AirPort Express “joins” a wireless network. The AirPort Express should be able to “join” the wireless network that is being provided by the FiOS modem/router, assuming that the device is using standard wireless settings, and the Express is located where it can receive a strong enough wireless signal from the FIOS modem/router. The Airport Express cannot “extend” or “repeat” the FiOS wireless network, since the “extend” function requires that the Express receive a wireless signal from another Apple wireless router, so you would at least need another Express to do that. Can I use the Airport Express to extend my network and then plug the printer into the Airport Express? I have an extra Airport Express that has an Ethernet port on it. I have a printer in my office that needs an Ethernet connection and it’s not practical to try and run an Ethernet cable from the router to the office. The modem/router had to be placed in one end of my house and my office is at the other end. I just moved into a new house and have FiOS Internet service from Verizon. I love your site and always learn a lot and now I have a question for you.
