I have it set to "Extend" my network. What I need to use it for is to plug a Homerun HDTV tuner into my network, it requires ethernet and my coax cable connection is already used by my router, so I moved the IPTV into the bedroom and used another coax run to a TV antenna outside the house (tried a splitter and combining the antenna and modem inputs but it does not work, it kills the modem). I do not actually need to extend the range of my wifi, so is there another mode I can set it to use as a ethernet to wifi bridge?

Thanks!

Good example of how Extend is a poor choice in most cases. It splits the radio tasks between up\download and client connections. If you ever need another hotspot to make your network accessible in remote parts of your home, run ethernet (direct, over power line, or over Coax) to connect the second airport device.
