Airport Express/802.11n

[joedavis34]

OK--just two questions:

My setup is

Router--->Airport Express with 802.11n (in my roommates room)---->Airport Express (not 802.11n).--->my speakers and printer (this one is in my room)

My question is: When I expand the range with the Airport express that is NOT 802.11n, does it make the wireless signal come out of it 802.11n?

Also: Is it work to pay the 2.99 for the 802.11n enabler for my macbook?

nope it won't make it N, your network will only be as strong as the weakest link.
plus i don't think extending would be able to work like that.
If network range isn't a problem, i'd just have the N join (not extend) the network from the G.

N vs G really doesn't come into play for most home internet connections, G is faster than most of what's out there.
The only time you would see an increase in speed is on local network file transfers.
