Ya, that should not be a problem. Is your Netgear already providing wireless access?? What do you plan on using the AE for?? If the netgear is a "wired" router, and you are going to add wireless access, just plug the AE in, and configure it.

Note particularly that the Airport Express only works as a range extender with WDS enabled WAPs, like the Airport Extreme. Most third party WAPs don't have this enabled/available from the factory, though you can sometimes hack the firmware to enable support as with the Linksys WRT54g and numerous non-Linksys firmwares. e.g. http://www.openwrt.org

If you just want it for AirTunes, it works fine. I've used mine with a Westell WAP for a while now.

if you just want it for airtunes, you don't even need to connect it to your current network. it can stand alone and be configured as an independent entity.
