Paula, Every router I have ever owned can be connected to wirelessly, but it is safer to connect via Ethernet cable, because if you change something that requires a reset, you will likely lose your connection to the setup page. To set it up, you use your browser, but you are not really on the Internet, you are only on your local network. Usually the address to a router is: 192.168.0.1 Or the last two numbers may be 1.1 2.1 1.2 There you can log in and make the changes to the old router, and maybe the airport express too, but you will need to plug into each one separately. HTH.

Hi there My IPod doc broke, and I want to use my IPod and IPhone as a way of using airplay through my stereo. I have an awesome sound system, and getting another docking system wouldn't suit me. I did some research, and discovered that the Airport Express seemed to be the way to go in order for this to happen. I am really struggling to set it up. I want the airport express to extend my Netgear wireless router setup that I already have. The wireless router is at least 3 years old, this is probably an underestimation. I had a look on the net, and the discussions seemed to say that you need to enter in the settings of the existing wireless router which are as follows: Security type: WPA personal Encryption type: TKIP I entered these settings into the Airport express settings, but I can't get it to connect to my Netgear router. I was under the impression that I could connect the device to the power source and to the stereo headphone jack, I'd be taken to a web site and I needed to enter in a password. I suspect I am missing a step. Do I need to temporarily connect the Airport Express to my modem and disconnect the netgear router? Do I need to connect the Airport Express to a computer using an ethane cable? Can I set up the Airport Express using the IOS app? Once set up, can I disconnect the Airport Express from the modem and reconnect the Netgear modem, then move the Airport express into the other room where the entertainment system is? Will I need to get a second Airport express, ditch the Netgear modem, and use one Airport Express to extend the network of the other? My apologies for the complication of this message. I hope I am clear in what I am asking and what I have already done. Thanks for any help anybody can give me.
