After reading my email to the list, I could see where there could be confusion. Yes, what I was wondering is if I purchased an Airport Express BS, could it act as an extender for my Airport Grey BS? On Apple¹s Website it states it can only do this with an Express or Extreme BS. However, I thought I heard other people doing what I want to do without problems and wanted to get your guys¹ opinion.
My reason for wanting to do this is because I want to play online games with a Sony Playstation 2. Of course I would need to connect my PS 2 via ethernet to something. So my second question was could I plug a PS2 to the Airport Express BS and get online that way? Any information would be most appreciated.

The answer depends on what is meant by "talk". Michael, do you intend to use this as a repeater station to extend the range of your network, as a wireless bridge to enable your PS2 to connect to the wireless network, or something entirely different?

The BS is connected to a cable modem. My TV/Stereo are on the other side of my living space and no way of connecting the cable modem to near the TV. My question is if I were to get an Airport Express BS and plug it next to my TV, could: 1. It talk to the grey Airport BS? 2. I connect a Sony Playstation 2 to the Airport Express BS and play online games? 3. Does the grey Airport BS need to be upgraded to an Airport Extreme/Express BS? Not a pro in networking but I really want to play online games with a Sony Playstation 2. Any input would be most appreciated. Unless you have some special model of television set, it won't be able to "talk" to your base station, grey or express. I'm not sure about how a Playstation connects to the Internet but I would assume that you can probably connect it to any base station that provides DHCP. No AirPort Base Station can be upgraded to a later model. You have to buy a whole new base station if you're not happy with the one you have... -Laurent. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
