Q: Roaming Network Extreme to Express

I am trying to set up a roaming network using a powerline ethernet connection from my Extreme base station to a 2nd Gen Express.

 

I have no problem extending wirelessly but I want to have a wired connection.

 

My airport utility is version 6.3.2 and the interface is different to the interface shown here and I can't figure out how to do it. Any help appreciated thanks.

    Check out the thread I just posted and see if what you're trying to do is similar.

    The interface is slightly differnet but the same rules apply.

     

    On your Express unit, choose these settings

     

    1. Under the "Wireless" tab, choose "Create a wireless network" and then put the exact name of your main base station, same security and same passwords.

    2. Under the "Network" tab, choose "Off (Bridge Mode)

    3. Under the "Internet" tab, choose DHCP

    That should do it.

    Let us know if it works for you.

    Sadly not. Using that set-up I get an error message saying simply that an error occurred while updating the express. That is also what happened before.

     

    I had the express set up correctly in the past (pre-Mavericks) without any problem and after using it elsewhere wanted to set it up again.

     

    I can't check at the moment but I am thinking it could be a wireline problem which I will check tomorrow.

     

    Thanks for your help. I appreciated it.
