Q: Bridge Mode Issue's

Whenever I attempt to put my AExtreme 3rd Gen in bridge mode for ATT DSL service I loose my internet connection. I want to use bridge mode so that I can use my 2nd Gen AExpress to extend my wireless network.

    You will want your "main" AirPort base station. That is the base station connected directly to the DSL modem to NOT be in bridge mode. The AirPort Express can extend the Extreme whether the Extreme is in router or bridge mode.

     

    Please see the following Apple Support article for details on setting up an extended network.
