Extending WiFi from PC to Macbook

I have a PC which is connected by an ethernet cable to a wireless router. On another part of the house however I don't get a fast connection using my Macbook. Can I use airport extreme by connecting it to the router with an ethernet cable? Will this improve the range and performance?

Can I stream music from a 3G ipad to my stereo without an ethernet connection to the airport express?

I only have a desktop that access the internet via a USB wireless connection. I would like to get the ipad2 and stream music to my stereo from that wirelessly. Or could I plug the airport express into the desktop (which is connected to the internet via the USB drive) with an ethernet cable and create a wireless network?

Does the Airport Extreme have any capability of sending wireless signal to a computer that is not capable of wireless?

I have a ZyXEL wireless base station on the middle ground of my house. It is currently powering my MacBook with wireless signal on the upper floor, as well as a Dell that does not have any wireless capability but yet the ZyXEL station came with a wireless USB plug-in so the computer has access to wireless signal. The only problem is, this wireless system really horrible. I get absolutely horrible signal on the Dell and ok signal on the MacBook and I want to switch to something better so I can get great signal strength, since I play online games. Is there any way this Airport Extreme or even Express can some how power my Dell computer down stairs without having something being plugged in, because the Dell is positioned where there are no cable jacks of any sort or even power plug ports.

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.

Multiple AirPort Expresses on 1 Airport Extreme

My Primary network is through an Airport Extreme. I have an existing Airport Express which I use to drive PC speakers for iTunes music and as an Ethernet connection for my DirecTV DVR. This Express connects to network wirelessly.

I want to add another ethernet connection in yet another room. Will my Airport Extreme be able to "drive" two different Airport Expresses wirelessly?

The existing Express and Extreme are the current models in the Apple Store.

Thank you and have a nice day.
