[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1727597, member: 307555"] Okay when you set up the Air Express in "extended" mode using the AirPort Utility - under wireless have you: (I hate to assume :Smirk: ) 1. Put in the same wireless network name as the one listed in the Time Capsule 2. Used the same wireless security (WPA2 - Personal is best) 3. Used the same password as the Time Capsule uses for the wireless network. If all that is set correctly then my next suggestion for you to try is to set a static IP address in the Airport Express. 1. Under the "Internet" tab in the Airport Express, select static and input an ip address, subnet, and the ip address of your router that connects you to the internet. 2. You should also set a "DHCP reservation" for the IP address you use in your Air Express in your router. If not you may get a warning of an IP conflict. 3. You should not need to input DNS servers as the router will know what to use but you can if you know them for IPv4. Inputting the IP address for the Gateway - which is your router connected to the internet - should let it see the internet. If you don't know the IP address look at your Time Capsule's Internet settings or if it is set to DHCP, look at your router's settings. If you have questions post back and give me a better idea of how your network is setup. Also any information on your router or router/modem. Lisa [/QUOTE]
