Airport Express to Latest BT Hub Modem Query

Posted by: GraemeH on 05 September 2013

Hi  - Do I connect the WAN on the Airport Express to the red WAN on the rear of the BT Homehub?

 

Do I need to adjust any settings on the BT Hub or is it 'plug and play' - For internet radio via iPad.

 

Many Thanks G.

Have you got BT ADSL or Infinity broadband?

 

And do you really mean Airport Express or Airport Extreme?

Graeme, how exactly are you using the Airport Express?  I highly suspect that you want to connect the WAN from Airport Express to one of the 4 yellow RJ45 jacks, not to the red WAN jack, of the Homehub.

BT Broadband and Home Hub and an Airport Express to connect to Musical Fidelity 308 integrated via 3.5mm to 2 phono cable.

 

This is to stream internet radio from an iPad and get replay through the hifi (my father's).

 

I first need to set up the Airport Express to be seen by the network and am unsure which port to connect to on the BT Home hub.

 

Thanks.

Use a LAN (yellow) not the WAN port on the BT hub, G.

Just to update - Dad now fully conversant with iPad and 'in-tune' and have the Airport Express streaming to the hi-fi.  He's on cloud 9!

 

Thanks
