I have a 2006 G4 Mac Minni with a Wireless Card, am I able to set up the AirPort Base Station?

Problem is have an older Mac before the intel chip (runs the G4 chip), I have it hooked up to a wireless router (linksys) that is a g model. If I purchase the AirPort Extreme Basestation, am I able to set it up with this computer and will it run more efficiently?

Also I will be purchasing a newer computer shortly, if I am able to set this up with my current computer will I be able to get a faster connection with the newer one?

Thinking of purchasing an Extreme base station. Purchasing in Japan, so I have a few questions.

My current router has issues with most of my more modern wireless devices.(It is quite old. D-LInk DI-634) I am looking into a MD031.

Despite only having Windows based machines, but two iOS devices, will the setup be that much more involved than if I were to have a Mac?

Since I am temporarily living in Japan, and will be purchasing it here, will the language be locked in Japanese only, is there a language option setting, or will the station detect the region and language automatically from my devices, and adjust as such?

If in the future that we return to the United States, will I be able to adjust the settings and channels for it to operate in the US? I imagine that looking at the channel overlaps in the tech specs portion between Japan and the US on the Airport Extreme webpage that I would have nothing to worry about, but I want to ask just to be sure.

Thank you.

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?

Are there other frequencies I may use on my Airport Base Station?

The wireless phone in the room often causes my airport to, or what appears to be, shut-down. Moving the laptop 24 inches and it's up an playing well with others. I recall having a similar issue a while ago, but I am unable to locate the notes I took.
Thanks

Can a MacBook Pro set up a AirPort Extreme Base Station?

I now have a LinkSys Router and set the pass phrase with a Dell Workstation. My MacBook Pro uses the WIFI along with others in the net work. I am thinking of replacing the LinkSys Router. Would the AirPort extreme Base Station work either with the Dell or my Laptop?

Can the airport extreme base station be used to wirelessly extend an existing network as an airport express can with no wires involved?

Basically my intent is to have an airport extreme to be used the exact same way as an airport express where you just plug it in and set it up to be an access point, no wires needed. Is it possible or is that only for the airport express
