[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1075781, member: 145676"] I think the Apple Rep mis-understood your friend's configuration. The Airport Express can extend a WDS network - not an ad-hoc network. So - the Airport Express should be fine but I would connect the Express into the back of the modem - then use it as a wireless router. You can then enable WPA2 so that your wireless is protected. Running ad-hoc means you can only enable WEP as a security measure. Should be pretty simple to setup. Plug in the Express, plug in the ethernet to the express, go to the G5 and and open the airport utility - usually under applications -> utilities -> airport utility and set up the Express as a router. You should be able to glean whether it is dhcp/ppoe/etc from the setup on the G5. [/QUOTE]
