Can i connect the Airport Express wirelessly to my existing Bell modem/router thingy then have the Express its own network as-well

so they connect together wirelessly (so the Express has internet too) and then make 2 separate networks both with internet but not connected with an ethernet cable

Do I have to have a separate modem to create my own network Internet connection or can I just set it up with my iPad?

Can i still use this as a wireless access point to an existing network?

i am looking to turn a single ethernet connection in my dorm room to a wireless hotspot, i am almost positive the old airport express could do this but can this new model do it as well?

do i need an Airport Express for each device, ie. HDTV, BLURAY PLAYER, MAC?

I am considering getting Apple TV, want to know what all I need to set up my own network. Also, to watch local TV do I still need cable service?

Technical network question: can I use the Express with my current Airport Extreme, as a repeater with printer connected?

I currently have an airport extreme, which is very good at getting range throughout my very long unit (about 30 meters.)

I have my TV, XBOX, PC down one end.. and my iMac is down the other end. I had the Extreme set up in the middle of the house. So it turns out, my xbox360 along with the NBA App wont give me HD unless its plugged in, even if the wireless Extreme unit is sitting 5 inches away from the XBOX360 (I tested this). Highlights work fine, but actual games - na.

So I though I would move the extreme in the room with the XBOX 360 etc in it..

Anyway, surprisingly, down the other end of the house, the iMac works on the internet fine! The iPhone 5 also works well.(checked with speediest and can confirm that the iphone lost less than 10% at the end of the house! impressive :-) ) BUT when I look at the iMac network connection, it says the transmit signal is only 27 down from around 217. The internet is fine, but youtube has taken a hit.

My dilemma then, is that I need the printer connected to a wireless device so everything including our laptops can print. I also would not mind extending the range back out for the iMac.

So I am considering the Express to put in the middle of the house.

Questions:

1) If I have my modem plugged into the extreme, I assume I can use the express as an extender?

2) Can I plug the printer into the Extender, or in this case, the little express which will be used as an extender?

I sort of dont want the printer near the TV due to room issues, and would like to bring back the super quickness of the internet to the iMac.. Im not so fussed about the internet for the iMac, as its only YouTube which has taken a hit, everything else works great, which is amazing at such a long range. (almost 100 feet)

Can this device block inbound and outbound traffic for a specific device on the network?

I have an Apple TV and an HP printer - both are on my current wireless network. I also have metered internet; and I cannot afford to have either of these devices downloading content or updates; all I want to do is prevent them from accessing the outside world, while still keeping them usable by computers on my network - yes I know the atv needs internet access to stream content; but I do not want to stream content from the internet, I just want to stream content from my laptop.
