Feb 24, 2015 1:49 AM in response to tu111by LaPastenague,No, you cannot extend wireless from a non-apple router. The Apple routers use proprietary method of wireless repeater.
However if you plug the Express into the WAP or main router then you can setup express as another WAP. And also plug in the printer.
Please note this does not make a usb printer airprint capable.. that is purely dependent on the printer and is only accessible when the printer is full network compliant and connects by wireless. So to get iOS devices to print you will need a print app or a network print replacement for airprint. An example is Printopia.

Feb 24, 2015 4:36 PM in response to tu111by LaPastenague,Client mode will allow you to access a device connected to the USB like a printer or ethernet.. device like a LAN printer that lacks wireless.. there is no wireless repeater function.
I am not sure if that fits what you want.. please look up carefully what kind of printer you have and if it works from iOS with an app.. airprint does not work to ethernet connected printers.. which seems mighty odd but apple take the air in airprint really seriously.
