Not sure what you are asking, but If it is whether the AirPort Extreme can connect to a network by "joining" the network using a wireless connection, the answer would be "no". Only the AirPort Express has this special type of capability.


If this not what you are asking, maybe a few more details would help us understand exactly what it is that you are trying to accomplish.
