AirPort Extreme Base Station

Sorry for my ignorance - but is this simply anouther router? Will it give me any better performance than my current SMC?

Is the Time Capsule also a router in addition to asting as a back up?

Q1: Which device consumes more power, the Airport Extreme Base Station or the Airport Express Base Station?

Q2: I have 2 devices. One uses an AirLink Sierra Wireless RAVEN X Modem (AT&T service). The other uses a digicom modem (Sprint service). None of the device has wireless capability. I like to use only AT&T service and place them both on one Base Station. Unfortunately one device still uses a 9-pin serial for communication (versus ethernet) and the other device has ethernet and can be plugged into a typical network from my understanding. Will one of the base station work toward this potential setup to save service cost?
Q3: Is there a 9-pin serial to ethernet dongle?

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!!

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?
