Q: How do I extend my network using an old airport express and new airport extreme?
I'm trying to create a new home network with a new airport extreme 802.11n and an old airport express 802.11g. I would like to use the express to stream music to my living room as well as to extend the range of my network. Only one or the other device shows up in the airport utility (ipad version and PC version) at one time. I can't seem to network them. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Airport extreme, iOS 5.0.1

If you really need to extend the network then I would advise selling the older Airport Express and buying a newer "n" version.
If you don't really need to extend the network then just have your current Airport Express "Join" the network.
You would be able to stream music but then again, not extend the network without using WDS which is not recommend as mentioned above.
