Problems with Airport Express


not sure how to proceed...

I am having issues with one of my Airport Express units.

I was at a conference last week and having read that the hotel I was in had ethernet internet access I decided to take my Airport Express so I could have wireless access in my hotel room. Something I had read that the Airport Express was ideal for but I didn't know of any hotels with this kind of access.

So in preparation I saved my current settings (print server, client mode) as a profile and changed the settings to act as a wireless access point.

At the hotel it worked fine, but in the end wasn't needed as wireless access was available in the hotel anyhow.

However when I got back home I wanted to re-integrate the Airport Express into my home wireless network and then I have had nothing but problems.

First I could not access the Airport Express to change the profile which I put down to conflicts with my home wireless network, so I did a hard reset, accessed the configuration and selected my original saved profile and clicked update. I had a green light I could see the Airport Express in the Airport Admin Utility, however I could not print to the attached printer, use AirTunes or now configure the Airport Express.

I then did a factory reset, and again all seemed normal when I configured, but exactly the same issue I was having, once configured I could not use the Airport Express, I could see the Airport Express in the Airport Admin Utility, however I could not print to the attached printer, use AirTunes or now configure the Airport Express.

Another factory reset and no joy.

Not sure where to go from here.
