Can I stream media from a Hard Drive that is connected to an Airport Extreme Base Station to the new, 2nd Generation Apple TV?

I used to have a Mac Mini and I kept the iTunes library on an external hard drive. Now that Mini is gone and I want to simply hook that external hard drive to my Airport Extreme Base Station and stream that content to a new Apple TV.

Can I use an Airport Extreme to extend the range of an Airport Express base station?

I currently have a wireless network configured using an Airport Express as a base station, with 3 additional Airport Express units connected to extend the range of that base station and to stream iTunes music to each unit, each of which is connected to a powered speaker or hi-fi.

What I want to do now is add the more robust Airport Extreme as a another range extender for the Airport Express base station and place the new Airport Extreme in a central location in our home. We will not be using the Extreme for anything except 802.11n range extension (e.g, no music streaming), but I am expecting that with its additional power and range, it can provide wireless connectivity to iPhones, laptops and iPads that are used typically in this core area of the home. My Airport Express base station and the additional range extension units are located in adjacent home office, libraary and fitness center rooms all located on the same (ground level) floor. The base station is perhaps 50 feet away from where I will situate the new Airport Extreme range extender unit. It is nearly of sight with two intervening windows and a single 6" thick brick/concrete wall between the base station and where I will place the Airport Extreme. With this understanding of what I need to accomplish, will the Airport Extreme fill the requirement? Every question I have browsed talks about the opposite situation--extending the range of an Extreme using Airport Express routers. My primary use of these products is streaming music and secondarily we obtain widespread use of wireless connectivity for other needs.

Another option for an Airport Extreme is to locate one of these units in upstairs in a distant, remote area of the house. I have supplied this area with a CAT-5 cable that originates in my office using an ethernet switch, so a wireless router can be added to deliver service in that area. Will this work using the Extreme? Thanks!!

Is the AirPort Extreme Base Station compatible with Windstream?

I currently have Windstream as my internet carrier. I have a wireless box that is supposedly sending out wireless singles everywhere, but instead, my laptop is the only thing that can pick it up. If I buy this base station, would I just connect my current wireless network into it and be able to pick it up with my iPod and Wii?

Can I access a wired device from a wireless device connected to an AirPort Extreme base station?

I have a network printer and a windows file server wired to the ethernet ports but am unable to access them from my macbook pro which is connected wirelessly. Can't even ping even though the AirPort Utility DHCP Clients log indicates that they've been assigned IP addresses.

Does it have the same socket to connect an external antenna as the old flying saucer Base Station?

I'd like to use my old antenna if possible, but if it's operating at different frequencies I'd guess that's not going to work...
