Airport Express ???

Hi Quick Question,

I am thinking of getting a airport express to extend my network range and to be able wirelessly print.

Now for the question, Can I plug the Airport express into any plug socket ie in a bedroom and it will connect wirelessly to my current wireless network or does it have to connect via ethernet.

Thanks

Paul,

Probably a dumb question, but can you extend the wireless range using an Airport Express as your base station and adding a second one in another room as the extender?? I have one Airport Express which does not extend well into the family room for my wife's MacBook. I am going to buy a second and initiate a WDS. Is that the right thing to do?
