Q: How do I configure AP express to link wirelessly to my AP extreeme base station and act as a range extender for internet connections?

How do I configure my airport express to connect wirelessly to my WiFi base station, Airport Extreeme?  I want to use Express as a range extender for the base station, and I can't run cables through the rooms. Thanks,

Airport Express, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    Apple's instructions to do this are here:

    Although the instructions picture a second AirPort Extreme, the setup for an AirPort Express would be exactly the same.

    Bob, you solved my problems with wireless set up of AX and AE.  Your many posts show that you know your stuff and are darn quick to share it.  I only failed to give you the green, solved my problem rating  because I am new to this forum, and didn't know that I can rank you only once.  Thank you very much, I was blown away to have you send out a personal response within minutes of my question.  I have been struggling with config problems for days.
