[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1692854, member: 307555"] Can I assume the Cisco router is what you want to handle DHCP? And the Airport Express is attached to the Cisco router by Ethernet cable? Also you want the Airport Express to act as an extender. If all this is correct here is my suggestions. 1. Using your macbook pro and an ethernet cable, attach it to the airport express LAN port. 2. Your cable from the airport express to the Cisco router should be plugged into the WAN port. 3. On your MB Pro start the Airport Utility and let is "see" the Airport Express. Click on your airport express and from the menu that pops up click the edit box. 4. There will be a box that opens with 4 tabs - base station, internet, wireless, & network. Under Base Station: you can set up the name for the airport express or leave the default and also set a password. Under Internet: It should say DHCP and I would leave that alone. Under Wireless: select "extend a wireless network" - Fill in the name of your wireless network, select WPA2 personal security, make the password the same as any current password you are using on your wireless network. - If you want 5 GHz click on Wireless Options and select the check box but make sure the network name matches your network name (delete the words 5 Ghz if it is added to the end of the name of your network.) Under Network: Select "Bridge Mode" Lisa [/QUOTE]
