How to setup Airport Express to extend my network range?

I have an Airport Extreme as main router and want to install an Airport Express to extend the range of my wifi. However it only works when connected through an ethernet cable. How can I setup my Airport Express to work wirelessly and extend the wifi range?

Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

Correction, the error message was missing.


Ethernet is indeed much better than wireless. Until a few days ago my Airport Express extended my wireless Airport Extreme network using an Ethernet cable and it worked great.


Since upgrading to Version 6.7.4 on both the Extreme and the Express I keep getting the error message below.
