3rd party wifi/router and airport express?

I have a non-apple wifi/router.

Can I use an airport express to extend the wireless coverage and plug a stereo into the audio port to play music by airplay at the same time?

Windows XP

Apple indicates that the "extend" function on their routers will only work if they are used with other Apple routers, so it would be extremely unlikely that you could use the Express to extend the wireless from your router.


The Express will work for AirPlay on your network if you configure it to "Join a wireless network", but it will not provide any additional wireless coverage in this type of configuration.
