Q: how to extend a network with airport

Hi I have a router that works well. However one part of the house does not have wifi coverage.

I have two apple products, a airport express old and new generation.

This afternoon I tried to extend the existing network with one of these machines.

 

I already found out that this would be to easy

It is only possible to extend another airport base station. So i already need two devices.

However I cannot find out how to setup the airport base station through ethernet.

The apple online manual refers to the previous version of airport utility, which is completely different.

 

Do I need to build a new network and then 'join' them ?

 

I spent already several hours figuring out this item, and this frustrates me a bit. I guess just by a decent repeater would have been the solution here
