Using brand new AirPort Express without ethernet connection when wifi is available
I have a stereo system with speakers attached to it in my home. For years I have used the auxillary port to play music from an iPod. I purchased AirPort to allow me to play music from my iPhone5 wirelessly. The location where my stereo is does not have an ethernet cable to connect to my AT&T U-Verse supplied internet. I am able to connect AirPlay and play it just fine, but without ethernet it puts my phone into a sort of WiFi mode that I can play music but can't send email, access the internet, etc.
I was able to set it up through my WiFi supplied via AT&T U-Verse but there were connection issues with the music. Too frequently the connection for the music would cut out.
Is there a way to connect to the AirPort such that my iPhone plays music directly to the AirPort device and also streams my WiFi connection from my AT&T U-Verse through my AirPort device?
My guess is that I would need to have a second AirPort device located where my AT&T U-Verse box is but I am hoping to resolve this without additional hardware.
