Connecting Airport Extreme to Express with ethernet cable between separate buildings.
Can I extend my network from my house to my shop building (100' away) by running an ethernet cable from an Airport Extreme out to the shop and connecting that to an Airport Express? I don't think I'll get a good wireless connection because of all the walls the signal would have to go through, including one that is stucco and metal lath.

Hi How do I connect a G5 Power Mac from upstairs to an existing wireless Airport Express netwprk? It has no airport card.
We've just got a Power Mac G5 desktop Dual 2 Ghz for our office upstairs. We currently have a Mac Book Pro wirelessly using an Airport Express in the living room downstairs. The G5 has no Airport card. What's the best and cheapest way to connect the G5 to our current setup? Do I need to buy an old Airport Extreme card, a third party wireless card, or is there a way using the Airport Express we can connect it? Even if I connected the G5 directly to the Express using a very long ethernet cable down the stairs I don't see an extra ethernet slot in the Express to add it.

Possible to use older Airport Express with new Airport Extreme?
I have an older 802.11a/b/g Airport Express connected to a D-Link router and a Comcast modem. I'd like to upgrade to an Airport Extreme for the faster 802.11n speeds and to get rid of the D-Link. Can I then connect the older Airport Express to my stereo system across the room and wirelessly stream music to it? I'm concerned it may not be backward compatible as it only uses 802.11a/b/g and the newer Airport Express is 802.11n - will that be a problem?

will airport extreme extend the reach of another wireless router
i have a DLink wireless router hooked up to my Imac in my home. My mac book pro picks up a weak signal from my office next door. So do I have this right? The Airport Extreme will receive that signal and then boost it to enable my laptop and I pod touch to get a now stronger signal, possibly even further away? And then I can plug a printer and harddriive into the Extreme to be used by those connected at either location??? And then I can pick up XM Satellite radio channel from my Dish Network TV in my home?? If so, wow!

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.

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 the Airport Extreme help boost a Blackberry 8900 wifi signal as well as my iphone4 wifi signal? Our service is so weak we range from 1 to 3 bars.
I can get wifi through my airport express just fine and have it hooked into the ATT modem directly. However: my iPhone4 (ATT) and my partner's Blackberry 8900 (t-mobile) get very weak signals either on 3g or our wireless.
I looked at prices and options of home boosters like Wilson and Zboost but pricing and mounting is not what I need to get into. I'm in a large 4000sf home with no access to put up an external antenna nor will my HOA allow it.
I own a Mac Book Pro with snow leopard and he has windows 7.
Just can't get through a simple phone call without loosing the signal at least once during the call.
BTW.... ATT already checked out the cell tower and my technical side on the iPhone4.

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.

Can AirPort Extreme extend a wireless signal from an AT&T Uverse wireless router?
I have the AT&T wireless router but have a weak signal and very slow transmission speeds at one end of the house. Can I use an AirPort Extreme connected by Ethernet to the AT&T router to strengthen the wireless signal in that end of the house? If so, how do I set it up properly? The intent would be to be able to use my wireless devices (iPhones, iPads, MacBookPro's, TiVo's, in all parts of the house.

Will Airport Express work as a wireless network extender for a Linksys Cable Gateway modem?
I already have a Linksys modem managing my wireless network at home. I have a couple Macs further away in the house and upstairs that occasionally lose signal. My hardwired iMac works great so I know it is not the network, but the signal. The Airport Express says it can be used as a wireless network extender for an Airport Extreme ran wireless network, but is there a chance it will work with my Linksys 802.11g wireless base station as well?
I would rather buy Airport Express and the New Apple TV than have to replace my base station.- Asked by Dan S from Kalamazoo
