Hi Russell, In this situation, you would need to change things around slightly - you currently have no spare LAN ethernet ports to plug a second access point into! If you bought a wireless broadband router with multiple LAN ports (e.g. Linksys WRT54G), you could substitute the Airport Express for that, and then reconfigure the Airport Express to act as just an access point and connect it to one of the LAN ports on the broadband router. Then you would have two wifi networks configurable independently.
