Can I bridge AEBS to AEBS via WiFi N?

I've got a problem connecting some equipment located in a basement. I have a Slingbox, a Blu-ray player and an old G5 iMac that I use as a media center all located in my basement. I need all of them to be connected to the Internet.
My Office, my Intel iMac and my AEBS are all located on the second floor of the house. The house does not have any hardwired Cat5 connections. Cable modem to AEBS to WiFi.
Currently I am using an Airport Express to connect to the G5 iMac, and this works great. We are able to connect to the iTunes library on the G5 in order to watch Movies on 2 ATVs and 2 different MacBooks.
The Slingbox and Blu-ray player are connected via an electrical system distribution hub which is now suddenly starting to act unreliably. I figure I could buy two more Airport Expresses to connect the Slingbox and Blu-ray player, but was wondering if I could instead bridge another AEBS to the basement then connect via the provided ethernet connections on the back of the 2nd AEBS to the Slingbox, Blu-ray and iMac.
I have read that you have to bridge the AEBSs via an ethernet cable, but that's not possible in this case. Is it possible to bridge them via the WiFi N?

Does anyone know what the settings page by page in Airport Utility (5.5.1) should be to make the above setup work?
I received my Time Capsule today - the replacement of the old AEBS was incredibly simple.
I have the AEBS connected to the TC via WiFI - and have a green light on both devices. However, when I connect the AEBS to my iMac via ethernet I get a message in System Preferences/Network that says "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet".
I have search Apple Database looking for instructions on setting up WDS, but only get the same Article HT2044 Dated July 31, 2008 - which does not obviously reference the same screens, selections or wording of Airport Utility 5.5.1
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Hello my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi

    Hello to all, with my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi. This only happens if I apply protection to the network. Unprotected my Iphone connects fine. Obviously the password to write error-free. I can not figure out what depends on this factor, however, another iphone connects fine. Help me please.

    I have a similar,but slightly different problem. My iphone 4 recgonizes my home wifi and shows it under Settings, but will not access it, no signal shown, just 3G.  It will access other wifi signals.  My wife's iphone works fine, as does an ipad and macbook.  This is new for my iphone, about 2-3 days.

  • Can I share my internet connection via wifi AND use my wireless printer at the same time?

    Not completely familiar with  wifi capabilities. I have this new setup in my office. I want to share my iMac internet connection via wifi so I can text and check emails using my iPhone (no cell service inside the building). Which works fine. However, I now cannot print wirelessly to my HP printer (LaserJet Pro 400 color). Once Internet sharing is off, I can print just fine. Any other wireless options, or just go get a long USB cable?

    Hi,
    It is not a multitasking printer, other devices may keep it therefore the best option in this case: connect it to your wireless router and all devices which are conntected to this router can sahre the printer.
    Regards.

    with the new iOS5 functionality that I can now see my phone in iTunes via wifi, is there any way to get the photos I took with the iPhone camera off the phone and onto my computer also without plugging it in (via wifi)?

    You need iPhoto 9.2 for Photo stream.

    Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
    However ....  I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
    Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.

  • Why can't iTunes see my iPhone via WiFi

    Basically my iTunes (on a MacBook Pro) won't see my iPhone ( so I can sync it wirelessly, it used to, now it just doesn't see it....EVER!
    I'm on the same wifi network
    I've tried rebooting my Mac & iPhone, no luck
    I can't connect via USB, because my MacBook's USB ports don't work (a whole other storey)
    I'm using a MacBook Pro, running the latest OS X 10.9.4 & latest version of iTunes 11.3
    iPhone 5 with latest iOS 7.1.2
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for your reply, but I am 100% sure that both devices are on the same wireless network.

  • Can I access to my podcast via Wifi ?

    I'm thinking of buying in Ipod Touch, but I have 2 questions :
    - Can we access to the music stored in my PC via the the Wifi connection of the Ipod touch ? This is particularly interessant for the poscasts
    - Is it possible to change the informations of a file via the Ipod (delete podcast, give stars, unmark ...) ? Change would be effective on next sync. This is also particularly interessant to delete directly from the Ipod podcast after listening.
    Olivier from Paris

    The itunes wifi store does not have podcasts or videos.
    As for the second, any ratings you make to the song or podcasts syncs back to itunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can nokia e72 connect to PC via wifi and transfer ...

    I've been messing around with the sync stuff in home media and other settings, and I can't seem to figure it out.  Does my e72 have the function to be able to connect to my pc or is this only able to be done via bluetooth?  It seems that the function is available but the manual is vague and I can't find anything online.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    Today I just found the Home Media app on my phone, can't believe I didn't notice it earlier, after all, I've been toying with it for the past three days :-)

    Looks like we need a UPnP/DLNA compatible device. In order to turn the PC into something like that, you need some specific software to offer this functionality. This is a good start:

    I managed to install uShare on my Ubuntu Linux PC and got the phone to browse the files just fine, just didn't manage to get syncronization working yet :-). Phone is on wireless, my PC is not, so as long as they're on the same LAN you're good, no bluetooth or anything else needed (I got my WLAN bridged to my wired LAN).
    If I get all of it working I'll post here.
    Good luck!

  • Can't connect to the internet via WiFi?

    Okay, so recently my service plan has finished, and i was hoping i can access the internet by using my dsl's home. So i always connect my mob to the DSL, but I cannot access anything, and if I try to open something it would spend from my credits. Is there a way to connect to internet without spending my credits?

    Yes, you will need to set your Options > Advanced > Browser > to Hotspot, and then you will be able to use the HotSpot browser for internet surfing and usage only. You will not have access to all of the BlackBerry applications like Facebook for BlackBerry, RIM's push email, Messenger, etc.
    Some third party applications like Pandora radio will work on WiFi connection only.

  • What cameras can send pictures to i pad2 via wifi?

    Is there a camera with wifi that can send pictures to i pad 2?

    That's hard to answer specifically.  Look for Camera Manufacturer apps in the App store.
    Nikon for instance has one that supports several of their models
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wireless-mobile-utility/id554157010?mt=8
    Canon has one too.

  • After ois 7 upgrade i can no longer connect my camera via wifi to upload photos to my iphone, nor ipad

    I have a Canon camera that has wifi.  Before the OIS 7 upgrade, I could upoad phots from my camera to either the iphone, or ipad wirelessly.  Since the upgrade, i cannot.  Anyone found a soluti on.  I have tried resetting the settings on the camera to original, renaming the camera name to remove the apostrophe. 

    Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work.  Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
    Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
    Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

  • I can't watch You Tube videos via WiFi but I can in 3G.

    This is on all iDevices - not just iPad.  It's a new router that supports Smart Wi-Fi apps.
    Why?  Is this a setting?  And it only seems to be You Tube.  It says Playback Error
    or Video Not Available.
    Thoughts?

    What is the manufacturer and model of your router?
    It is possible it is a security setting in the router or the DNS servers it is using. In both cases you'll have to change the settings.
    If you are using a school or work network the content is probably restricted by the people running the network. Not much you can do here other than bring it to their attention. Adding a wireless router to these networks may also be against their rules too.

  • I can't get connected to internet via wifi

    This happened once before and I did something in system preferences -> network, and got the connection.  I did not change anything since but It is not working now and I dont remember what I did to fix it last time. 

    I would recommend using a different DNS setting, the ISP the hospital uses may be causing problems with their DNS settings. Please follow:
    1. System preferences
    2. Network
    3. Click Advanced
    4. Click DNS tab
    5. Click + sign
    6. Add 208.67.222.222
    7. Click + sign
    8. Add 208.67.220.220
    9. Click OK.
    10. Exit System Preferences
