Bob (or anyone),
So happy I found this thread. It was exactly what I
was looking for and oh boy, do I need someone's help.
_*The Problem*_
I have Verizon Fios Internet. Their Actiontec
router only provides minimal wireless coverage
across my large home.
I have an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station
but didn't get better results hooking it up to the
Actiontec router as a bridge.
_*So I got an Interesting Idea*_
Why not get the Belkin Powerline Adapter Kit.
These things are supposed to work great.

I plug it into my Actiontec router at one side
of the house and then plug it into a wall outlet
on the other.
Then....
I plug it into my Apple Airport Extreme Base
Station at the opposite end of my home and
essentially put it in AP (ACCESS POINT) MODE
to essentially repeat/extend the signal of the
Actiontec router.
Will this work?
I really need detailed information on how to set this up.
I can easily plug in the AV Powerline to my router and
then to a plug outlet at the opposite side of the house.
What I really need to know is how to configure the Airport
Extreme Base Station. I mean, I need step-by-step and
easy-to-follow instructions if anyone has the time to
provide it.
Also, will the wireless signal from the Actiontec router
interfere with the wireless from the Apple Extreme or
since the AE is running as an access point it will simply
extend it? I take it that the AE as an extension will still
use my current security login.
Thank you so much in advance
