configure the airport extreme 11n as an access point

configure the airport extreme 11n as an access point?

Here's the situation, I got one airport extreme 11n as a christmas gift while I purchased one for myself not to long ago. Now my place is pretty big so I'm thinking about making the second extreme an access point for another area of the house. Can i do that with the extreme? Does anyone know where i can find the instructions ?

Yes.

If you are connecting the 2 AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) via Ethernet, configure the new AEBS to operate in "bridge" mode. Have it create a wireless network with the same parameters as the network created by the first AEBS.

If you want it to do it wirelessly that is also possible.

If you are using 802.11n only mode, you can use the new "extend a wireless network" feature to connect the 2 AEBS.

If you are using a 802.11b/g compatible mode, you need to use WDS to connect the 2 AEBS.
