I have airport extreme set up at home, but wireless signal is weak in back rooms, can I use airport express to improve connection

I have Airport Extreme 802.11g set up as my wifi base station at home, but wireless connection is weak or not available in rooms further away from base station and I am wondering if I can add an Airport Express base station to improve connection? Thanks.

Hey 310Bruins,

Thanks for the question. I understand you are having some signal strength issues with your AirPort Extreme. Before purchasing a secondary base station to extend your network, you may wish to look over this article for a potential resolution:
