[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1619849, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Ron..[/B] - you might want to explain 'why' you feel the need to add an [I]AirPort Express[/I] to your home network? Do you need a 'range extender' (e.g. poor signal upstairs) or want an ethernet port to attached other devices, such as printers, sound systems, etc.? If so, do you want the second router to be wireless or are you planning to run an ethernet cable to attach the two? There are plenty of issues to consider in setting up this combination - NOW, I must admit that I'm simply using an AirPort Extreme as my sole router (covers my house fine), so I have no personal experience in adding an extender. If you google 'apple airport express as a range extender', there will be plenty of hits to help you. Also, I have the book below on my iPad (just a $10 Kindle purchase; 2013 publication date) which I've read several times - a section in chapter 8 explains the options that you are asking about, so might be a consideration. So, please let us know the answers to some of my questions - Dave :) . [ATTACH=full]21266[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
