Q: 2 networks 1 modem

I have an apple airport extreme and an airport express. I would like them both to connect to a single modem but have two different network names.  How do I do this?

    Here's one option.

    • Connect the AirPort Extreme directly to the modem by Ethernet.
    • Connect the AirPort Express to the Extreme by Ethernet.
    • Using the AirPort Utility:
      • Reconfigure the Express as a bridge.
      • Give the Express a different network name than that used by the Extreme.
