Airport Express - Will This Work?
Hello all,
Sorry if this has been asked and answered, I couldn't find a post relating to my question.
Basically, will this set-up work:
A----B ) ) ) ) ) C----D
A = DSL modem connected to the Internet and to B via Ethernet.
B = Airport Extreme Base Station
C = Airport Express Station in "client mode", in range of B
D = Mac connected to C via Ethernet
Thanks in advance.

What if we changed the set-up to this:
A----C ) ) ) ) ) B----D
Therefore, B would be in client mode, and the Express serves as the main base station.

Just to update...
Well, I purchased an Airport Express, and in WDS mode, the above works.
Anyway, thanks guys.

Was going to say - that's the way it works in my house too I just hooked it up and away I went
At least, until the Airport Express actually died, which was not so cool.

Yes. Provided your main base station supports WDS. If it's an Airport Extreme, then you have no problems.
Mabe Apple should make a virtual network builder on apple.com, so you can set it up with the hardware you plan to use, adding computers, base stations, ethernet connections, bridges, printers, sound out aso and it can give you the thumbs up or down...
