Q: Using Airport Extreme N as a hub?
I just moved into a new place that already had a Cisco router set up, though it does not have enough ports and neither does my Airport Extreme N or my Airport Express. We need at least 5 ports and the devices only have 4.
Is there some way to connect my Airport Extreme N to the Cisco router to be able to use it as a hub and get more ports?
Thanks.

1.) Is there any reason to assign a password and security to the Extreme if it is only being used in Bridge Mode? What about a network name?
No for either. Remember we disabled the wireless radio so neither would be required.
2.) When I want to use it as a wireless router again, would I just reset it using a paperclip in the back?
Yes, that would be the easiest way to get it back to its default configuration of a wireless router.
