How to you set up an airport extreme with an existing dsl router / modem combo?

I have a 2wire AT&T router / modem combo. How do I setup an airport extreme with the existing dsl router without buying a stand alone modem? Or would it be better to have a stand alone modem? Are there some settings in the 2wire router I need to change? Please no acronyms...I push enough buttons to eventually get things to work, but I am not a computer genius, hence my desire to switch to macs. Thanks

Does it have to be connected to a cable modem?

Can this be used for file/print sharing only, without plugging it into my cable modem? My cable connection is in a different room than my home office ..so i really only need it to wirelessly share my hard drives and printer. So wondering if i can continue to use my Linksys as the wireless router, and the AirPort basically as an extension to my existing network.

I currently have a Comcast wireless internet service, thus there is no modem - is it possible to set up the Extreme to receive wireless signal?

The HOA installed a Comcast wireless internet network in our condo complex, and thus there are no modems used, as was the case with the previous DSL network now disconnected.

My questions are:

1. Can the Airport Extreme receive the Comcast wireless internet signal?
2. Want to continue using wireless printer connected to the USB port on the Extreme.
3. How to set it up? Do I need some info from Comcast for the set up?

Please advise.

Can I use an Airport Extreme along with an Airport Express to effectively extend ethernet to a HDTV

I have a dual band airport extreme connected to Roadrunner serving my Macbook Pro, iPod touch, USB printer and a USB hard drive. I also have an airport extreme to stream iTunes audio to my stereo system. I am buying a Samsung 55B8000 HDTV that has a USB port to be used with a Samsung proprietary wireless adapter for wireless internet connection which I don't have. The TV also has an ethernet port that can be used for internet downloadable firmware updates, streaming internet video and some other goodies, That port can be easily set up as a DHCP connection to the internet. To avoid buying the proprietary Samsung adapter, can I use the ethernet port on the airport express to effectively extend the ethernet connection from the airport extreme to the airport express or is the airport express ethernet port only for a WAN connection and not a LAN connection? If the airport express won't do it, would a second airport extreme do it? i.e. use the LAN ports on both airports.

If I want to buy the airport extreme and at home have the AT&T 2Wire modem/router, how do I set up Airport Extreme?

Do I need to get another modem?
if not, do I just plug cable from 2wire to AExtreme?
Thanks
