Q: Using ipad/iphone with airportexpress to play music

I have select the extend the range and when I hit continue my network is not showing up in the network name and Ihave done go back a fgew time but it still does not show up.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong but I can't seem to get it to work wireless, again it flashing amber.

I am about to give up trying to get this airport express (first gen) working.  I have tried all configuration to get it to work wireless but each time I try a different setting I keep getting the same message after I am done which is Airport Utility was unable to find Apple wireless device and amber keeps flashing. I am able to set it up to work plugged in and play from iTunes but I want to be able to use it for playing music wireless from my ipad/iphone.  What else can I try that I might not be doing.  It very frustration trying to get this to work as you can see I have been from last night and I fell like taking a hammer to it at the point.

Then what do I use it get it to work, does Apple has another utility to configure it

Ok I see I am also in the wrong discussion area, will post in airplay.
