[QUOTE="TWBuddha, post: 888725, member: 37053"] Quick update... Not sure what I did, but it works - at least for now. I remembered the guy at the Apple store saying to first create a new network for it and then it can join the existing. So here's what I did. I hooked up the ethernet cable. It found it. I created a new network (existing is called "TWB", so I called this "TWB2") and set it up with a WPA password. I then clicked on the airport icon at the top right and I saw both of them. I "joined" the TWB2, so it now has a check mark next to it. Then I thought I'd test it (not thinking it would work). I unplugged the ethernet cable and turned up the volume on the Bose. Wow. There was my song. Ok... then I decided to test the Remote app on the iPhone. That worked, too. I haven't tried different locations, but it works in the other room. What concerns me, though, is this... While it was playing flawlessly, the light was flashing amber. Isn't it supposed to be green all the time? Also... I'm thoroughly confused now as to what network I'm on. Let me explain. iMac has the modem going into the router. The wireless network is "TWB". I've always had Airport turned off, but now it's on and connected (on the iMac) to TWB2 - the Airport Express. So... everything seems to be ok. My Internet connection is fine. The music plays on the Bose. The amber light, though... and my iMac being connected to the Airport Express... is that normal? Should I just shup and think "it's working; forget it" or is it working, but not the correct way of going about it? [/QUOTE]
