How to use AirPort Extreme with 2wire 2701

I have AT&T DSL with the 2wire 2701. Recently I began experiencing an intermittent signal on my MacBook that lasts several seconds and then reboots--this happens multiple times per hour. AT&T has sent out 4 technicians without solving this issue. After some online searching, I see that this is a common issue with Macs. They are bring a new 2 wire tonight, but I fear the same issue is going to occur with this. Would it be best for me to spend the money and buy an AirPort extreme and disable the wireless feature on the 2wire? If so, how would I go about doing that? I work from home, and have been extremely frustrated with this issue for the past two weeks. Of note, I have had my MacBook and the 2wire for at least two years without any problems until recently, so I am also thinking this issue may be related to an update I installed recently?

How to you set up an airport extreme with an existing dsl router / modem combo?

I have a 2wire AT&T router / modem combo. How do I setup an airport extreme with the existing dsl router without buying a stand alone modem? Or would it be better to have a stand alone modem? Are there some settings in the 2wire router I need to change? Please no acronyms...I push enough buttons to eventually get things to work, but I am not a computer genius, hence my desire to switch to macs. Thanks

Airport Extreme + BT Broadband

hey guys, quick question.

i recently got a replacement BT Home Hub 3, and it has since botched my home share between itunes/ipad/iphone/atv - i know this isnt a fault of the computer as the homeshare works fine on another router, so the aim is to add an airport extreme into the mix! but heres the issue...

i live in the back end of nowhere with no more than a bad ADSL signal, so no BT Infinity modem for the WAN port. i dont wish to fork out for a 3rd party ADSL modem, so the question is, is it possible to hook up the HH3 to the AE as a modem? Does anybody know if this is possible? or have any experience with it? or know what settings i'd have to change and where, and on which hardware?

cheers folks

Should I get an AirPort Extreme, and will it interfere with a 2WIRE wireless router?

I am wondering too if it will support an internet connection to a Windows 7 upgraded (from Vista) PC and a Nintendo Wii console. On my existing wireless router, would I simply plug the AirPort into a normal ethernet port or the WAN port?
