Airport Express Base Station Question - Pretty Basic I think...

[sonictonic]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a little unfamiliar with the Airport Express Base Station... and have a couple questions. All I really want to do is add wireless printing capability to my wireless network.

I have a pretty basic setup since I'm in a 1 bedroom apartment and its just me and my 1st gen MacBook here. Oh, and my Apple TV.

Can I buy the Airport Express and use it with my existing Netgear router? Or will that make things complicated?

Should I just bite the bullet and replace my older Netgear router (which is working just fine), with the Airport Extreme Router Station for the extra $80 above the Express price? Is it worth it? I'd pick the Extreme instead of the Express if I could use the N capabilities, but with a G MacBook, and G Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, it's not really in the cards right now.

Please advise me...

Thank you!

That'll be fine.

It doesn't really seem worth it for you at this stage.

you might even be able to completely replace your Netgear router with the Airport express, from what you said about your setup, i don't see why not.
