I already have Airport Express "inside" my home - Can I avoid installing (or moving) my express and simply have the speaker find my indoor Express?

If I understand the question, this is not possible. The Airport Express actually gets installed inside the speaker. In my case, the express networks with an Airport Extreme. Also note that the speaker (at least my model) only supports some specific models of the express so you should doublecheck.

Within the back of the Airgo, there is a compartment designed and made to physically install the old style Airport Express. Not the one that looks like an Apple TV. The is a wired connection in the enclosure to plug the AirGo into the Apple Express to conduct the audio from the Express to amplifier in the AirGo. The AirGo would have to a WiFi Receiver to do what you want, so the answer is NO, in will not make a wireless connection.

You shouldn't need that...here is how I have mine connected. - I have a Comcast cable modem. - I connect my Airport wireless router directly to the cable modem. - I do have hard wired ethernet to connect this switch to my Airport Express (I have cabling running between my office and living room). - I then have the switch tucked behind my TV (connected via Ethernet). - Then, all of my devices are plugged directly into this switch - TV, Denon A/V home theater, Xbox, Tivo. I believe your Roku should be connected directly to your TV via HDMI or composite/audio cable combination. Hope that helps!

If I understand your question, you're asking whether you can add another wifi access point to your existing Poweline set up. If so, then yes--that's exactly what I did. In my original set up I put the wifi unit in my home office. Coverage in the master bedroom was poor so I bought another 2 unit kit and plugged the wifi unit from it into a receptacle in the bedroom. It installed exactly like the first one did. No problems at all. The only negative is that I have an unused unit (the one that connects to the router) sitting in a drawer. Oh well, guess it's a spare...

I found it better to use a different ssid. This way your devices in the farthest reaches if your house are guaranteed to use the repeater and not accidently connect to the router. I have no issues with laptops and phones seamlessly transitioning.

Nope. You have to sync your music to their SqueezeCenter player in order to send it to the Squeezebox Boom. You could use Airport Express to send it to the line-in, but that defeats the purpose of listening to your music without any analog interference. It also cancels out the ability to control your music from the unit. This is the primary reason I won't be getting one of these...I love my iTunes interface, and I want to send my music to two different sets of speakers without having to buy another Squeezebox in addition to this one. I also love the Remote feature on the iPhone. There's a similar app called iPeng that works with SqueezeCenter, but I just love my iTunes too much. Otherwise, I'd snap it up in a second.

I never had that issue and I also use AirPort Extreme. Assuming you have your wi-fi password entered correctly (case sensitive and whatnot), I'd try setting up with the speaker unit closer to the wi-fi hotspot in case there are some issues with signal strength. Also, you may want to activate the guest mode of your AirPort Extreme without any password and just try to see if it connects that way. Of course, this would only be temporary fix as you'd not want guest mode active 24/7.

No. It has an integrated wireless antenna. Your router can be anywhere in the house.

Yes. Not a problem. Although I have a local network, my whole set-up is wired because everything is close and that's the most direct way for me to handle it.

Mr. Mark Bueler at Incra.com is THE MAN to ask that.I have dealt with him several times; he's listed on their website with email address etc.; Incra DOES HAVE a TEMPLATE for installation in a generic table top, as mine is a HOMEBUILT router table, I got the template.Hope this helps?

Yes, you will need to run a new line from a transformer (not provided) and a line for the indoor speaker. This is a really good system, but the installation on existing construction will not be easy.

Hi Craig, Thanks for the question. There is no limit to the amount of devices that the Wireless Outdoor Speakers can connect to. You will have to 'unpair" or turn off Bluetooth on the device you are using to allow another to connect to the speakers. You should not have to forget device. Contact AV-Express for more information.

To operate, this unit requies the insertion of an older model airport express (square style). But once it's set up on your network, it can receive the signal of any device, including an itouch, as long as it has AirPlay.

Yes, you can. I am currently using 3 in different locations. You can either use them as individual access points, (names), or just your current SSID. Hope this helps.

It allows a wired connection anywhere it is plugged in. If plugged in to an Airport Express, then the Express would be an extended new WiFi connection. If plugged in the a portable laptop, then it would a much faster connection than a wireless connection expanding the existing network. So the answer to your question is that it can be both depending on what you connect to it.

Hey, if you have permission than it is not pirated signal smart guy. Anyway his router needs to be located in a position to provide you with optimal WiFi signal and yes you may need an amplifier to achieve good signal. The Hughs dish has nothing to do with your home as if is positioned to get internet from the satellite in the sky.

Hi!if you don't mind me asking, since I already have a wireless network in my house and the airport express can be use to stream my itunes music, all I would need to buy are the AE, and the cables to connect it to my speakers (and use my iphone 4 as a control remote).am I right?thanks!
