Thanks. I think I solved my problem. I do have the adapter. When going thru the set up with Airport Utility, I was getting stuck on the screen after setting up a new network. It would ask me to connect the WAN to a router to get internet access, which I didn't want to do. The AX was flashing amber, not steady green, so I thought that was a problem. Reading more carefully, instructions stated that connection to internet not required, so I moved on and it now works. Thanks again.

I am trying to configure a new Airport Express in place of the dongle as recommended by others in this forum due to poor iPad connection issues. Seems like a snap for others, but I cannot get it to work right. I want to create a network that works like the dongle, being its own network/LAN, no internet connection but Airport Utility won't let me do that. If I configure as an extension to existing network, it doesn't work out of range of that network and of course, I need mobility for gigs. What am I doing wrong?

Having same problem with my iPad dropping connection at gigs, never at home, so I bought a new Apple Express with the adapter to avoid the 2.4 GHz. I am having trouble configuring it properly for the StageScape. Could someone walk me through now to get this to work? Tried several things that didn't work. Thank you. I have MacBook Pro 10.9.5 using Airport Utility.
