[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1103690, member: 8287"] Ivan, Here in 10.5.8 Leopard the Airport Utility is a bit different in the location of things like WDS. Here is from the help file. Have not checked Snow Leopard as yet but here is the info just in case his Airport Utility is like this one..... One quick question, which OSX are you running? The Airport utility in the URL Ivan so kindly provided looks like Tiger. Things are different in Leopard. That way if you get stuck one of us can help you. [b] Extending the range of an 802.11n network AirPort Utility makes it simple to extend the range of an 802.11n network if you’re connecting another 802.11n base station or a Time Capsule. Connecting two 802.11n devices greatly simplifies the WDS setup process. To extend the range of an 802.11n network: Open AirPort Utility and select the base station or the Time Capsule that will connect to the Internet. Click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary. Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless. Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox. Next, select the device that will extend this network, and then click Manual Setup. Enter the password if necessary. Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu. Enter the network and device password if necessary. If you are extending the range of a wireless network that’s using 802.11g or 802.11b, check the Apple Support Website. [/b] [/QUOTE]
