My network is set up in the following way (see photo) 1 Time Capsule + 2 Airport Express to extend the network.
No computers or devices can connect to the Airport Express named "AE02"? They all ONLY connect to the middle Airport Express called "AE01" even though they are like 20 cm from AE02??
What am I doing wrong? Anyone else has this problem?
Thanks
MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.53 GHz), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
When properly configured for an extended network, both AirPort Express base stations should appear connected to the Time Capsule with dotted lines.

Thanks, Huge bummer... How come the Airport Expresses connect that way if not allowed?! 😟
I found the answer just like 'Tesserax' pointed out.

In the older Wireless Distribution System (WDS) style of extending, the 802.11g AirPort did allow for a "middle" base station to be placed between the main and remote base stations. The major drawbacks of this older technology (at least for AirPorts) is that the extended network can only operate in the 802.11g radio mode and for each base station added the overall bandwidth is cut in half.
Can't connect to an extended Airport Express?
