How do you set up an Airport Extreme to extend the range of a Verizon router?

Basically I want to know if the new Airport Extreme can be used fro extend the range of a Verizon modem/router?

Not by wireless. The apple routers can act as repeaters only to another apple router.


You can use ethernet or homeplug (EOP adapter) to place the Airport in another location where you need wireless and set it up in bridge mode.


Or you can buy another airport.. a cheap second hand extreme is very possible.. plug that into the Verizon by ethernet and extend with the second apple wireless.. but nope.. you cannot do it directly.
