[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1076009, member: 145676"] First - no I am not saying you need 2 expresses. I'm saying that the Airport Express cannot extend your G5's signal. What I am also saying is that I would use the Express as a router - and stop trying to do use the G5 as an AD-Hoc network. If you are saying that the Express as a router has the same signal strength as the G5 I would be surprised. I have Airport Expresses sprinkled throughout my house and have good signal strength throughout. I can see Expresses from 3 floors away. If you want to extend a WDS network with apple products - you have to use apple products. That is the WDS created by Apple's Airport Expresses, Airport Extremes, and Time Capsules can only be extended by Apple products. They lock you in and it sucks. If you are more comfortable with another vendor feel free to recommend and use that - you are right there are plenty of choices out there with bigger antennas, range extenders, and the like. [/QUOTE]
