I would like to buy an Apple Express to hook onto my Netgear Wireless Router. I plan to extend the range of my current internet connection but also tie up my (new) Airport Express to my TIVO and stereo system. Need information on how to configure the Apple Express as a "repeater" for the Netgear Wireless Router? Netgear Model#: WGR614 (version 4) Apple Express: Current version. |

Unfortunately, with your model Netgear router, there is no way for the AirPort Express to talk to it wirelessly; The Netgear router would need to support WDS (Wireless Distribution System). I would suggest checking with Netgear and seeing if there is a firmware update available for your Netgear router which adds WDS capability. A work-around to extend your range with the AirPort Express would be to physically wire the AirPort Express to your Netgear router with an Ethernet cable, and configure the AirPort Express to function "behind" the Netgear router, that is, configure it just like you would configure a computer. Then, you name the AirPort Express network (The SSID) the same name as your Netgear router. Your computer will see both routers, but since they're both named the same SSID, you will only see one network. The computer will connect to the one with the best signal strength. |

Hi, Did you went on the apple.com support website ? I think there's a topic about configuring a lynksys WRT54G with the Airport Express. See there : http://discussions.info.apple.com/.68a4aa2b/3 they explain a little trick that you should try with your machine... Maybe it'll work ? Sincerely, Bruno |

Yeah, the Apple Support page that nokopika-ga gave mentions using WDS, a feature that the poster's router doesn't have, so that link isn't much help. |
