i have an airport extreme and use an airport extreme to boost the signal for my internet connection in my house. problem is my laptops are not seeing the APE and are only seeing the APXT. help
airport extreme-OTHER, Windows Vista
First check to make sure that you have the correct versions of Apple products to do what you want. The AirPort Extreme (AEBS), needs to be the "square" version with rounded corners, not the older round, domed shaped AEBS.
Next, the AirPort Express (AX) must be the newer "n" version of the product. Check the label on the side of the AX for the model number. This needs to be Model No A 1264.
Next, using AirPort Utility on your PC, select the AEBS and click Manual Setup. Then click the Wireless tab below the icons. Make sure that a check mark is entered next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Then check the AX using Manual Setup. Click the Wireless tab to check that the setting for Wireless Mode is "Extend a wireless network" and that there is a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"

I went through this process again and there was no network expansion. However, after unplugging the Express and then plugging it back in again, the signal was Strong. The links to the feeds on this site helped reassure me that my settings were correct. I appreciate the help.
i can not get my airport express to expand my wirless signal from my internet on my airport extreme
