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?

Airport Extreme / Time Capsule Range

I want to access email and the internet in my studio which is 170 feet away at the end of my garden. When I tried connecting my macbook pro it does not access my present router which is within line of site through a window overlooking the garden. Is an Airport Extreme or Time Capsule likely to connect? If not what other solutions are likely to work?

All thoughts appreciated.

Can I Airplay without internet, and stream content from my macbook, ipad, iphone onto my HD TV?

I am located in Afghanistan, and I own a Macbook Pro late 2011, an iPad 3rd Genaeration, and an iPhone4s. I am wanting to stream product from each/all of these devices to my HD TV...I am interested in getting a device to airplay, like the Airplay Extreme, my only concern is that with limited internet(none), I will not be able to meet my goal of streaming all of my content untililzing the Airplay Extreme, I know that once I am back home I will not have any issues but...well I guess I dont want to wait that long, lol. I would love to purchase one now. So if you tell me that I can set up, lets say a stand alone internal network with all of my devices without Internet, I will definintely be buying one very soon. Thank You for your assistance.

John.

I can do a ifconfig en1, but I would like to know more details about my wireless connection, such as which radio frequency I am using, and can I change it, and if so, how?

My Macbook Pro has an Airport N card in it but my brothers PC can only run G. Will the whole network be downgraded to G for the PC and I can't use N?

I want to use N but im not sure if the Apple Extreme Base Station can support G and N at the same time.

We live in the country, and have wireless internet. Would extreme or express act as a signal booster for my iphone 3g & macbook pro?

I previously had a zboost soho yx545 to boost my signal for cell & internet, but it was struck by lightning and is now no good. I need to replace it asap, as I work from home & need my cell phone & internet to work! I just read about the extreme & express and am wondering if they work as a signal booster?
