Connect an AirPort Express to an ethernet port to share internet... possible?

[vodkaPT]

Hello,


I will move soon to a new place where the avaliable internet is only an ethernet port provide by a devolo adapter, such as this:

Can the AirPort express connect to this ethernet port and share it trough WiFI ?


This may be a dump question, but I don't wanna spend 100€ without having 100% sure that will work.

And I was unable to find an example of this online, normally AirPort is only used to increase a WiFi connection range.

Thank you in advance

(and btw, don't know if is relevant, but I don't have any control on the network, so I cannot change configuration on the modem or other components)

Yes you can - Many people use Airports in hotels to provide a WiFi connection from a Ethernet network connection.

Lots of dudes use the AE at hotels that only have ethernet wired cable. You basically need to have it setup as just an access point.

I often use my Airport Express in a hotel if it has cable ethernet but no (free) WiFi.
