I just got a slingbox pro and had hoped to hook it up asap. My only router is the airport express (used both for internet and airtunes). The airport express has only one ethernet port. I was under the impression that if I also got the SlingLink ethernet bridge, I could somehow configure this so that I can use the slingbox with my airport express. Yet someone I'm not able to figure this out: --Slinbox>slinglink box 1 via ethernet cable>slinglink box 1> electrical outlet
--slinglink box 2>electrical outlet>???? where?
--Airport express >cable modem via ethernet cable
--mac>airport express via wireless.

Do I still need to buy yet another router with multiple ethernet ports? I thought that was what I bought the slinglink for. And if I do need to buy one, how does my airport express/airtunes fit into all of it. Please advise!

many thanks!!
