    No, you cannot use airport as a wireless repeater .. hot spot..

     

    Apple routers can only work as repeaters to another apple router..

     

    You could setup an express (this is only model that supports wireless bridge to ethernet) and then plug another wireless router into it.. but it is enormously expensive process cf going out and buying a standard wireless repeater.
