Airport Express Question!
I have a Linksys WRT54G hooked up to a cable modem in one room. I have an Airport Express in another room. I want to connect an iMac G3 to the Airport Express via Ethernet for internet. Is this possible? If so can you please explain the steps. I've tried a bunch of things, but nothing seems to work.

Can I connect an Airport express to the Netgear and use my MacBook wirelessly through that? If yes, what do I have to do to my Airport Express?
Thanks and cheers
When setting up WDS make sure both base stations (remote and main) have same channel and same network name. Everything else is pretty much straightforward.
I seem to be the only one in the whole world who wants to do this specific thing!

I am hoping that the Apple 802.11n comes out soon.. I'd like to pick one up for this very reason. I gave up on trying to use the A.E. as a bridge with my Belkin. I hope the same isn't the case for yours. Good luck!
you can plug it into your non wireless router and make a wireless network.
you can plug it in the wall and stream music to it through your router from your computer.
but you can't plug it in the wall and wirelessly extend your network to the rj45 jack.
sure would be nice though. Its a very apple thing: disable the expected feature for no apparent reason.

Oh, you can. I did. Configure WDS and AirPort will transfer your WiFi network to the ethernet port.
Guess what! I just plugged in the AE to the Netgear router and it just worked! No work to be done, no nothong. Guess I forgot I was working with Apple - Just works!!!

he has a wrt54g. end of message. unless he wants to pay $45 for the firmware that a 3rd party makes for his router. this answer (and the previous) is based on the hardware specified by the author.
