Airport Extreme as a bridge?

[Sam235]

Hello all, i was wondering if the airport extreme would work as a bridge from the main wireless router(the one that came with verizon)the reason is i want to connect my External HDD and my PS3 to it, so i can back up stuff from my pc and macbook, the reason why i cannot replace the main router is cuz its not my house ty all

ps the HDD will connect through USB

I don't see a settings in mine for a bridge mode.
You could plug your Airport WAN port into one of your LAN ports of the Verizon Router, it should get an IP address from the DHCP server on the Verizon router.
You could disable the wireless on your Verizon router and create the same SSID/Password on your Airport, should work seamlessly that way.
