Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone here can help me with setting up my wireless network. I've got an Airport extreme (3rd floor) that ive used to create my wireless network and 3 airport expresses to expand the network throughout my home. In my basement though (furthest from airport extreme) my wireless coverage is pretty horrible. The airport express that is expanding (I guess repeating) the network is not doing a great job. I Am trying to plug in an ethernet to the airport express in the basement so It can broadcast a stronger signal. It seems like as soon as I plug the ethernet into my express in the basement the rest of the network stops working properly. What settings will allow me to connect the basement airport express to expand the current wireless network that is working everywhere else in the home?
Thanks

Are you extending your network using this method?

AirPort Utility 5.1 Help: Extending the range of your wireless network

Of course, I know everything . . . I just can't remember it all at once.
