Can community recommend a DSL modem for AirPort Extreme Base Station in UK. I am upgrading from Netgear 802.11b? wireless router.

There seem to be few DSL modems in UK and non I can find reviewed. Or do I retain Netgear DG834G as modem and hard wire direct into AirPort Extreme Base Station?
The AirPort Extreme Base Station is not cheap so I do not want to compromise its performance or range if there is a better modem solution.

will airport extreme work with a fairpoint router?

My current ISP is Fairpoint (NH) with a high speed fiber optic connection. They provide an Actiontec wireless router. Unfortunately, the router does not support Mac wireless. I would like to add an Airport Extreme Base Station to an ethernet output on the Actiontec router. Will this give me fully Mac compatible wireless service? I also wonder which network name and password to use. A few months ago I tried to connect the AEBS to the Actiontec router, but the amber light never stopped blinking. At that point I gave up. I'm ready to try again.

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!!

How do I access the airport extreme base station settings from another PC on the network?

I want to be able to access the router from a computer other than the the one directly running the base station (so that I might disable the internet access from my room when son is up too late on the x-box downstairs!).

What is the length of an airport extreme base station power cord?

I want to purchase an airport extreme base station and mount it on the ceiling for best signal dispersion from my basement home office. I'd like to order all the parts I needs, etc at one time and do the job just once.

I'm curious if anyone knows who long the power cord is; is there a power brick involved; if anyone has found a longer cord substitute?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Expanding a network from Sky Router wirelessly to Apple Extreme in seperate rooms?

Here is the problem that I face, I live in an apartment building and have our second bedroom as an office so this houses my printer, back up harddrive, media harddrive. Here lies the problem the I am a SKY broadband customer so by there terms and conditions must use there supplied router but the supplied router will not let me extend the network from the base station or even connect to it to bridge wirelessly.

When i have the extreme base station hard wired to it it has no problems so i can then turn off the broadcasting on the sky router and just have the base station. This is the problem as i only can have my router in one of two rooms and neither are the office. So need to connect it but without wires?

So what i am trying to do is to arrange a way so that i can access the internet, harddrives, printers etc through the base station but this means i have to have a way of getting it connected, things i have thought about are the Ethernet plugs to send the link or getting another router that can be extended to the Extreme base station, either 3rd party router or if the express base station would work.

Any thoughts or tips would help a lot?
