I recently bought an Extreme,
I'm with Virgin Media and the router I had (belkin wireless G) seemed to not agree with my iMac (older style) - it had crappy signal.
I'm quite far away from the router anyway, but my macbook (almost brand new) gets a signal fine. Which is probably because my macbook is on 2.4GHz and my iMac is on 5GHz... am I right? probably not.
So i got the Extreme, thinking that it would just join my network, extend the signal and bobs your uncle... but no. I tried setting it up to 'Extend a network', but it came up with 'The network you selected cannot be extended'.
Anyway, so I contacted virgin media and they sent me a new router... which was nice of them, i guess. But i'm still unable to extend the network, even with this new router... which i don't even think is better than the Belkin i had =S
help me please?
