[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1006509, member: 45350"] Here is a good place to start. [url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AirPortUtility/5.1/en/ap2045.html]AirPort Utility 5.1 Help: Extending the range of your wireless network[/url] With the Express plugged into your house go through the configuration setup for WDS, setting the Extreme to base and Express to remote. Once that is working (I had to do it three times to get the configuration changes to stick for some reason) you can move the Express unit to your garage and it should work; I'm basing this off the fact that your wife's Macbook appears to be able to pick up the base in garage, which implies sufficient signal strength for the Express to pick it up. If that doesn't work then you'll have to go onto step two, how to get more signal into the garage. A different issue and beyond my skill level, but I've seen some good articles on this if you have to go that route. [/QUOTE]
