Need help setting up WDS with AEBS and AX
I have a network now with;
Airport Extreme Base station (n) in the office
Airport Express (original) close to my stereo for Airtunes
Black MacBook (original)
14 " iBook G4
G5 iMac
The Airport signal on my Black Macbook has been getting weaker lately so I wanted to extend the network using the AE as a remote (or relay) I might have to change the Airport Card.
I reset both base stations as suggested by Tesserax and tried to set up a WDS.
When I open the Airport Utility I can see both basestations in the panel. I choose the AEBS first then select wireless tab and 'participate in a WDS' and check the box that says to 'allow the network to be extended'. Then I go to the WDS tab and select WDS main for the mode and put in the Airport ID of the AX.
When I hit update, it applies the changes but then the AEBS comes back in the panel with an amber light and when I select the Summary tab there the status says WDS error. If I change the settings back, everything is fine although I don't have a WDS network.
This is a new topic as I kinda highjacked another post earlier and used up some resourses.
