My current Wireless is a Netgear hub , and my internet arrives on a Telephone modem type plug, not Ethernet plug, can I still use this product

I want to get rid of my Netgear hub as I have issue with loosing my internet connection regularly and having to switch it off and back on, so I think it is the hub itself.

Will an airport extreme work as a wireless internet expansion if it is connected to a existing wireless router? Router>ethernet>airport?

I already have a verizon router which is far away from my room in which i need wireless internet. I currently have one ethernet cable running to my room which is connected directly to the router. Will the airport extreme act as a wireless internet range expansion?

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.

Currently I have Qwest DSL and a Motorola 3347 wireless router. What's best way to replace the router with an Airport Extreme?

The Motorola router is getting rather unreliable. Qwest says the DSL signal is OK. I'm wondering whether I should get a basic Qwest wired router and then plug the Airport Extreme into it, or whether the Motorola router could serve as a basic modem with the wireless turned off (which I don't know how to do).

I currently have a Comcast wireless internet service, thus there is no modem - is it possible to set up the Extreme to receive wireless signal?

The HOA installed a Comcast wireless internet network in our condo complex, and thus there are no modems used, as was the case with the previous DSL network now disconnected.

My questions are:

1. Can the Airport Extreme receive the Comcast wireless internet signal?
2. Want to continue using wireless printer connected to the USB port on the Extreme.
3. How to set it up? Do I need some info from Comcast for the set up?

Please advise.

I currently plug my office IP phone directly into my NETGEAR router. Can I use an Airport Express to extend the signal to another room?

Right now I'm limited in that my office IP phone is hard wired and plugged into the back of a NETGEAR wireless router. I'm wondering if I can extend my wireless internet signal into another room in the house with the Airport Express, and hard wire the Ethernet cable into the Airport Express from the IP phone which needs a direct "hard" connection?

Will Airport Extreme Base Increase my file transfer and streaming speed

I have an older Verizon Wireless Router that connects all the devices including the verizon services. Will an Airport Extreme Base Station increase my file transfer and viewing from my Mac Mini to Macbook? Is it best to connect to the internet router (verizon) via an ethernet cable or wireless? Would more memory on the Mac Mini increase the file display speed?

Can an ethernet port linkup on the extreme base station be used for a 3TB 'Home Network Hard Drive' in the same way the USB port makes HD's wireless?

I would like to use a 3TB 'Home Network Drive' for streaming my movies and music over my wireless network. It uses an ethernet cable to transfer data (much faster than USB 2.0), and would work by plugging it into my Extreme Base Station's spare ethernet port. Will Airport Utility immediately recognise it as a Hardrive?- or is the Extreme Base Station restricted to only ready Hard Drives via the USB port? Thanks alot!
