Set up Airport Express 802.11n to use both LAN ports

Hey guys,


Is there a way to set up an AE 802.11n, without an internet connection, that broadcasts only a local wi-fi signal and outputs the wifi connection to both ethernet ports? I'm using it to control some pro audio and lighting equipment and they do not require an internet connection.


Thanks,


Solan

The AirPort Express can be set up to broadcast a local WiFi network without an Internet connection, but only the LAN <--> on the AirPort Express will allow devices to connect to the network.


If you need more LAN ports, you can add a 5-Port Ethernet switch to the LAN port on the AirPort Express. Once of the ports on the switch would be used to connect to the AirPort Expresss, so you would have 4 ports available for other devices.
