You could reset and rebuild the AEX, but first, have you another source to Airplay stream to the AEX that you could test against - computer / iPhone / etc?

Hi.

 

Same problem tonight, plays for 10-15 seconds but cuts off and goes back to playing music through the ipod.

It seems to be searching for other networks. The Airport express does have a permanant green light on it which is good according to the useless instructions!!!

Does this Airport Express need to be permanantly plugged into the router even though I am not using the internet for music it's all through my ipod. If the answer is yes then the EDITED at the Apple Store is going to get this and my fist in his face it's doing my nut!!!!!!!!!

Please help!!!!

Have you set the AEX to join your existing network (as opposed to start a new network, or extending the current network)?

Juzzie Wuzzie please can you talk very very basic English to me, that went over my head.

I think the answer is no, I have my aol on another network because when you go into wifi settings on the ipod its scanning the following

 

airport express

aolbroadband

other
