[QUOTE="SPSherm, post: 1298546, member: 215497"] [b]Removing WiFi Security Worked For Me[/b] AWESOME. After many hours of frustration, THIS was the only thing that worked for me. I have a DLINK DIR-655 Revision B router and wanted to use the Airport Express to stream iTunes. It was all working with an old DIR-655 that had died. After setting up the new router, could not get AE to connect to wireless network. Did EXACTLY these steps as @cbloks2010 says: [LIST=1] [*](hard) reset AE and let it reboot [*]remove WiFi security (also removed auto channel scan for now), on DIR-655 and let it reboot [*]connect to AE using either Win or OSX Airport Utility [*]configure AE to connect to wireless network, no security; reboot [*]confirm solid green light on Airport Express; should be able to re-connect with Airport Utility [*]add WPA/WPA2 Personal security and WiFi password to Airport Express; reboot [*]AE blinks amber [*]added security back to DLINK DIR-655 (WPA-Personal, WPA or WPA2 mode, TKIP and AES cipher) - reboot [*]confirm solid green comes back to AE [*]confirm iTunes client can see the AE [*]perform happy dance :D [/LIST] I have not yet added back the auto channel scan to the DLINK, but may do so in the future if my microwave interferes too much! :Not-Amused: Thanks again to @cbloks2010!
