A:

The only available option to "extend" the Uverse's Wi-Fi network with an AirPort Express is to reconfigure both routers for a roaming style network. Note: In this type of network, both routers would have to be interconnected by Ethernet. It will not be possible to extend the Uverse with the Express using a wireless connection between them.

    Do you mean wireless bridge??

     

    Only the express can do wireless bridge to a non-apple wireless router.. Extreme and Time Capsule cannot.

     

    If you mean just router bridge??

     

    Then yes, that is fine.. plug the TC into the Uverse and set the TC to bridge mode in the network tab.

    Thank you LaPastenaque.

     

    Would someone be able to point me to the information on how to configure an Airport Express to extend the Wi-Fi network with an AT&T Uverse Wi-Fi modem?
