[QUOTE="ghettochild, post: 166895, member: 12644"] my bad if this has been asked before, but the friggin airport express is on sale today... okay, I'll go home for the holidays visiting friends and family in good ol' germany. apparently all the place where I'll stay have wired networks (unfortunately no wifi routers)... thus I was thinking of getting airport express for cheap and take it with me on the trip...here's my question.. from what I understand one usually connects the AEx w/ the cable modem, right? ..but what if a router is already connected to the cable/DSL modem? just connect AEx with one of the router jacks in which one would usually plug the network cable going to the computer? I'm just wondering if plugging AExp. into a router instead of a cable/dsl modem will cause any problems in terms of getting an IP etc. technically, that would be 2 routers wired together w/ 2 NATs etc., right? any help/info/nput is very much appreciated!
