We assume that the Cisco device will connect to the AirPort network using a wired Ethernet cable connection.


Just set up the Cisco access point to use the exact same wireless network name and password that the AirPort router is using. As an access point, the Cisco device should already be set up to operate in Bridge Mode, but it might be a good idea to check to make sure.
