merging airport express and wifi

[benfilan]

Ok, i bought an airport express to stream music to my hifi, but i'm wondering if theres a way to use both the airport basestation and my wifi router without having to change networks? currently there are two networks at home: my current wifi and now the new network coming from the airport.

thanks

Go to the airport utility in the utilities folder in applications. If you go through the set up you come to a point where it asked you if you want to join a network or start one. Just select join and tell it which network to join. You then set a name for your airport express and it restarts. You can then see it from itunes while you are connected to your existing wifi router.
