I recently purchased an airport express to boost the airport extreme to my basement so i would get better connection while playing xbox. My brother also uses the family MacBook Pro at the same time. both of us are experiencing a great amount of lag. I think the problem is in the airport express but i dont know for sure. Someone help please!

Well, both are set to the channel 11. And by same name do you mean if one is named "My Network", the other one should be named "My Network" as well?
