Questions about the Airport Express Base Station...

[Matto1020]

So I currently have a Linksys wireless router that I use. If I buy the express base station, can I simply use it for external harddrive/printer sharing only and still use my linksys wireless router?

Also...if I can share my harddrives wirelessly, will my wireless PS3 be able to pick up the signal and could I have access to them from that? Thanks!

I don't know about the second question, but for the first, yes, you should be able to. But I'm curious why you'd want to. The AEBS can completely replace the linksys and should give you all the same functionality. More simple that way, too.

The only problem is that my 360 is not wireless...and the Express Base Station doesn't have an output if I am not mistaken.

It does. Gigabit ethernet ports. Either 1 or 4, I can't remember. But it's not only wireless...you can plug non-wireless devices into it.

It has a jack to plug IN a cable modem and a USB port and a stereo jack. I would also need an ethernet OUT jack which I don't think it has.

Remember..I am looking at the Express Base Station...not the Extreame Base Station.

Ah, my bad. I didn't catch the Express. Sorry.

i'm not 100% sure that it can be used with a hard drive.

The express can do a printer, but not a hard drive.
