Anyone using an Airport Express in bridge mode. I want to add one to my downstairs right next to the stereo so I can use the Itunes feature, but I have a wireless router already.

Just wanted to ask before I bought.
Thanks
Well I use mine I what apple calls a "roaming" network. I think that is like bridging, It works fine. Basically I created a new network on the Express that has the same channel, network name and password as the Airport Extreme Base. It is not set to distribute IP's, that is left up to the AEB. Works great, gives me great signal strength in the living room and is connected to the stereo for iTunes streaming.

1. you lan port will be useless
2. if u use .11b to stream music there will be a lot
of skipping 11g works fine
