Extend my Extreme wifi via cable to my Express

Hi,

I´ve tried to search for this here but haven´t got exacly what I need.

If you have an Extreme and an Express you can easy extend the network between them so it seems like there´s only one network. That´s what you want - one network, one SSID. The connected units connects to either the Extreme or the Express. Great!

But let´s say it too far between the Extreme and the Express that wifi isn´t good enough. I want to connect them with a Ethernet Cable. I want that but still use the same functions I get with the extended network I got with wifi. One SSID, one visible network but far away from each other. Can I do that??

If I cannot, what is the solution? I have a really big house and want one wifi in the whole house. Do I need one Express every 10 meter and connect them all in one long chain? How great will that be? How many can I connect in a chain?

/Raymond

To start please check out the following Apple Support article. It's a bit outdated, but it should give you an idea on the number of methods available to you to extend the wireless range of your Apple Wi-Fi network.

Next, let us know which type: extended or roaming, do you prefer to go with and if you need any assistance with setting it up. Any of us here will be happy to help you if you get stuck.
