Sorry yep an A1088 model( I think, eye sight going but looks like that) bought it quite a few years ago, and now got a bigger house and need to extend my wireless network.. Its not an Apple wirless network. The wireless modem is a Bob lite ( iinet in Australia) So if I buy a new Airport Express will I be able to extend my wireless network (windows system) ?
Unfortunately, even if you bought a singel new Express, it could not "extend" your Bob lite network.
You need to buy two AirPort Express "n" versions if you want to "extend" using wireless only. The first Express would "create" a wireless nework and the second could "extend" the wireless from the first....assuming that the second is located where it cn receive a strong signal from the first.
