[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1032949, member: 145676"] The problem with FLAs and TLAs is you are never quite sure what people are talking about. (Four letter acronyms and three letter acronyms if you don't know what I'm talking about) AEBS could mean Airport Extreme or Airport Express Base station. Anyway - you can use either the Extreme or Express as a router. The Extreme has more features but the Express can do base level NAT translation for you for up to 10 users whereas the Extreme supports up to 50 users wireless. The Extreme also has 3 more gigabit ports so you can use it as a switch. I have a user for sure that has an Airport Extreme, connected to a DSL modem being used as a router. The usb hub has a USB drive connected and is being used as a time machine backup. You don't need another router - unless you have a something specific i don't know about(Only thing I couldn't find was a dynamic dns updater built in). The Airport Extreme and Airport Express, can both do Network Address translation and serve as DHCP, filter content, and access. Edit - one thing I did read in your other thread, you may have an all in one modem/router - like a 2 wire or some such. So you would use that to do the routing function and just use an Extreme or Express to create another wireless network. I do have a similar setup where I have a router and I use a Time Capsule for making the Wireless network. So I still stand by the original statement, the Airport Express or Extreme both can be used as a router. [/QUOTE]
