Hello guys.

I was just wondering, If I buy and airport express and use it to extend the wireless signal around my house, can I plug an ethernet cable on it and have that computer use the internet connection coming from it?

dsl/cable modem -> airport extreme/time capsule -> airport express -> wired connection -> computer
 
Nope. AE only has a USB port and an ethernet port going in. There's nothing going out.

Yes, thats how i have my xbox connected.

Cable modem -> airport extreme -(wirelessly)> airport express -> wired connection -> computer
 
I am trying to have the same setup, but I can't get the wired signal from the Airport Express ethernet port, how you perform the setup?

Thanks
