Fritzbox DSL Router6360 and Airport Express

Hello.

I have one question about the Airport Express Wireless bridge function.

At the moment i have the following situation:

1. An existing Internet Access trough a Fritzbox 6360 Cable. This router also provides me the Wlan.

2. An LAN Device that i want to connect to the Wlan.

3. An AirPort Express N as device that i want to do with.

I have tried to connect the LAN Device to the AE and connect the AE in my WLAN.

The AE has a connection to my router but the Lan Device gets no internet. Wrong configured?

In the Ariport utility i have configured "connect to WLAN". At second try i have tried extend an existing WLAN...but thats not possible, the AE LED flashes orange and then it was not to find for the utility!

Can please help someone? Ist the AE wrong configured? Or maybe the FritzBox Router?

Best regards

What you want is to configure the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) as a wireless Ethernet bridge. Apple calls this configuration a ProxySTA.

To configure the AXn as a ProxySTA, you need to first configure it as a Wireless Client, and then, enable the "Allow Ethernet Clients" option on the Wireless tab within the AirPort Utility (v5.x).
