Airport Express Config Question

I have extended my wireless network using the newly released Airport Express 802.11n. This was successful, however, I want to attach a device to the Airport Express via ethernet cable and have the device be connected back to my network. This is not working. Maybe it's not designed to do this. Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks!!!

Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

When the AirPort Express...or any other Apple router....is configured to "Extend a wireless network", the Ethernet ports on the device are enabled. This assumes that you are using another Apple AirPort router as the "main" router for your network.


In the case of the Express, both the WAN and LAN ports act as LAN ports when the device is set to "Extend a wireless network"


To begin the troubleshooting process here, are you using an Apple AirPort device as your "main" wireless router?
