Using Airport Extreme to extend Wireless network

Hi all,


Hoping someone can help me out, I currently use the next door neighbours wireless internet (with permission!), however I only get coverage in limited parts of my house. Could I use an Airport Extreme to extend the coverage? How would I need to setup?


I also want to utilise the wireless printing function of the Extreme, hence why not using a Wifi Extender.


Thanks!


Janice.

Probably, but only if the neighbors also have an AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express or Time Capsule. (It takes two Apple devices to be able to "extend").


Might that be the case? If so, we'll need to know the model number of the neighbor's device to confirm further.
