Want to use Airport Express As A Wifi Extender/Repeater for Motorola Surfboard sbg6580 NO CABLES...

I am trying to simply extend my wifi network with Airport Express N. I am trying get my Motorola Surfboard sbg6580 to work with AEn, MOT sbg6580 has WDS and apple.com says "it does work with other routers" I guess I cant figure this out... I do not want to run 50 ft of ethernet cable and drill holes in floors, just simply extend network with AEn as repeater or extender. Is this possible? If so how?

Airport Express N-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Suggest that you check with the TW cable folks to see if they have a device that will do what you want.


If they cannot help, it is always best to use products from the same manufacturer to insure compatibility in applications like this, so if you have the make of your modem or router handy, you might check on the manufacturer's website to see if they offer what you need.
