[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 714380, member: 38928"] That's all possible and you don't need an Airport Extreme. I'd connect your airport express to your router by cable and set it to bridge mode. This will allow your MBA to connect at N speeds. Connect your iMac to the router by cable our wirelessly at N speeds. On the iMac go into Sharing in System Preferences and enable File & Printer sharing. You'll now be able use your printer, external drives, internet, imac folders from both machines. You can do all that just connecting directly to your G router but you may as well take advantage of the Airport Express's greater speed. HTH mrplow [/QUOTE]
