[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1252719, member: 193366"] This thread describes some of the considerations for what you're trying to do. [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/airport-networking-wireless/233697-extending-wireless-network.html"]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/airport-networking-wireless/233697-extending-wireless-network.html[/URL] As has been said - you have a few choices. I chose to let my FIOS router still be the DHCP server for the network - and my second wireless router (a Linksys - but the principle holds for your AE) to be simply an Access Point (or in bridge mode on the AEs). I also set mine up to maintain a degree of separation between the two networks. 802.11g and below devices only connect to the FIOS router. All 802.11n devices can connect to the Linksys.
