Can I use Air Port express as a signal extender for SKY Broadband router in UK?
You are going to have to turn OFF Wifi on the Sky router device so its just a modem.
String an Ethernet cable off of the Sky router to an Apple Airport/Time Capsule device and have that create a stable WiFi network.
Using WDS protocols you can now add additional Apple Airport expresses as needs be to extend the Wifi signal area.
In theory you should able to extend an existing network however inter-operability between differing manufacturers is flaky at best.
Caveat using extenders Will degrade the performance of your network.
So its going to be more expensive - Need Two Airport devices and you my need support in creating the network (you may have to log in to the Sky provided routers advanced settings in the Java Control Panel and from a web browser to turn off features such as Wifi and IP addressing)
You may be better contacting Sky as they may actually have a compatible network extender (BT certainly do for their Home Broadband routers) available.

Can I plug Air Port Express into 110 extension cord
can I plug Air Port Express into extension cord or a power strip?
Yes, just be sure that the AirPort Express is not buried down behind a desk or cabinet where its signal will be compromised.

can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)
Yes, if the AirPort Express is set up to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name as the other router and the same wireless network password as the other router.
-
I would like to know if with them I could use one Airport Express as the connection point to my ISP and the second one, just to extend the wifi range. Anyone knows about this ?
Yes you can.
But, remember that the AirPort Express is a router only. It does not have a modem on board, so you will need a modem to connect to your ISP.
Then, connect one Express to the modem and configure it to "create" a wireless network".
Configure the second Express to "extend" a wireless network. -

Can I use an Airport Express Base Station to extend non-Apple router range?
We have a Netgear 802.11n router in our house. I just bought a MacBook Pro and now am accessing out wifi from the other end of the house along with my iPod Touch 4g. Both seem to show at best about half strength signal strength. House is small and nearly all devices on same floor.
Can I use the Apple Airport Express Base Station as a bridge to extend our wifi network giving me stronger signal for my Apple devices or will it only work with Apple routers? Netgear and others like Hawking make wifi range extenders and those are still under consideration.It would be extremely unlikely that an AirPort Express would "extend" the wireless network produced by the Netgear router using wireless only. Apple's "extend" feature appears to be proprietary among Apple "n" routers. As far as we know, it does not work with any other manufacturer's products for the purpose of wireless only extension.
If you are planning to connect the AirPort Express to the Netgear using an ethernet connection, then it could be configured to extend that way. -
How do I use an Airport Express as a "range-extender" for Airport Extreme?
I bought an Airport Express with the intent of using it as an "extender" for my Airport Extreme, but I find no paper that describes how this is done. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks and cheers, VeitThanks for the info. Try this to see if it will do the job for you:
_On your AirPort Extreme (AEBS):_
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the *Wireless tab* below the row of icons
Your *Wireless Mode* should already be set to “Create a Wireless Network”
Make sure there is a check mark next to “Allow this network to be extended”
Note the setting for Wireless Security as you will need this for the next setup on the AirPort Express
Update to save changes
_On the AirPort Express (AX):_
Hold the reset button in on the AX until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly
Temporarily, move the AX near your computer and connect a short ethernet cable from your computer to the AX
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup.
Click the *Wireless tab* below the row of icons
*Wireless Mode*….should be set to “Extend a wireless network”. If you don’t see this choice, hold down the option key when you click on the selection box
Wireless Network Name…the name of your main AirPort Extreme network should appear as a choice. Click to select it.
Place a check mark next to Allow wireless clients
Wireless Security….exact same setting as your AEBS
Wireless Password…exact same password as your AEBS
Confirm Password
Click the Base Station tab to assign a name and device password for the AX, set time zone, etc.
Click the Music icon to enable AirTunes if you wish
Update to save settings. You can disconnect the ethernet cable and move the Express to the desired location.
For further reference, Apple's instructions for the "extend" setup appear on pages 43-44 in the Apple AirPort Networks Guide.
Please post back on your results.

Can i use my airport to boos a signal received from my broadband wifi transmitter?
Can I use my airport extreme device to boost my broadband signal as a secondary wifi transmitter?
Any ideas?Yes, if your "main" router is an Apple device
No, if it's not
If you can connect the AirPort Extreme back to the "main" router using an Ethernet cable, you have some options to provide more wireless coverage that way. -
It is an Airport Express first gen.
Yes, the AirPort Express do all that you ask.....providing that it will be extending the network from another Apple router.

Can I use 2 airport express base stations to extend my G and N networks?
I currently have my Time Capsule broadcasting an N only signal at 5ghz and use the router that came from the cable company to broadcast a G signal. Can I buy 2 expresses to repeat both networks?
Here's what I see when I try this. Your results may vary.
Depending on your connection quality, distance from the TC, etc., the speed will drop by approximately 40-50% if you change to the 2.4GHz compatible settings that you mention. In other words, if you were getting a Transfer Rate of 250-270 on 5GHz, the Transfer Rate will likely drop to 110-130.
This is assuming that there are only "n" devices active on the network. If you have a "g", or "b" device active on the network, the overall network speed will drop to "g" or "b" levels depending on the device that is active. If you have a "b" device active, the Transmit Rate will likely drop to the 25-30 range.
You can check the Transmit Rate on your Mac by holding down the "option" key while you click on the fan shaped Airport icon at the top of the screen. -
Can I use a NETGEAR WRG614v6 as a wireless extender for my AE?
My modem is connected up to my AExpress but the signal is weak around some parts of the house. I have an old NETGEAR WRG614v6 router and was wondering wether i could use this as a wireless extender or repeater and have it just plugged into the power, no DSL cables in it, just sharing the AE's signal. Is this possible to do or am I better off buying another AE or even an extreme? I've searched all forums possible to try and help me and even tried YouTube but had no luck so far. Can anyone help or tell me how to do this?
Cheers, Stathi.According to wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WirelessDistributionSystem) your netgear doesn't support WDS, which is needed to extend a network
Your cheapest bet would be to buy another AX and extend it that way... -
Air port express can not been accessed
My OSX has been upgraded to 10.7.4, and use Air port express as my AP, my iPhone and iPad(even non-Apple product) can access the AP, but my Mac book pro can not access it, even airport utility can not find it. But the AP is shown on the menu bar on the top screen and can not be selected.
Sometime a dialog box displayed to ask for password. But I keyed in correct password and it shows connection timeout."Pulling" a folder refers to basically moving (or renaming) a folder that holds preference data that the OS will recreate if it can't find it. For instance, anything in the ~/Library/Preferences folder. It's useful when trying to isolate software issues because often these problems are just as a result of corrupted preference files.
When dealing with network preferences, the stuff you want is in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. That is to say, the ROOT library, accessed by going Finder>Go>Computer>Mac HD.
If you rename this whole folder to SystemConfiguration.old and then restart, the OS will create a fresh folder, which often resolves OS-related networking issues. From that point, you can either delete the SystemConfiguration.old folder, or name it back and then delete the new one if you want to start trying to individually isolate what went wrong.
If nothing changes at all when you rename or move the SystemConfiguration folder, then you're likely looking at some nasty interference issues. Try changing the channel on your Airport Express.
