Yes, you don't have to putz with their router at all, just sync the Express with it.<br><br>I should add that not all routers are repeatable. Do you know what kind the neighbors use?<br><br>[color:red]</font color=red> [color:orange]</font color=orange> [color:yellow]</font color=yellow> [color:green]</font color=green> [color:blue]</font color=blue> [color:purple]</font color=purple> <P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by yoyo52 on 09/02/08 12:28 PM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

The Airport will definitely repeat, and if the Linksys ones are recent models, they should be repeatable too.<br><br>[color:red]</font color=red> [color:orange]</font color=orange> [color:yellow]</font color=yellow> [color:green]</font color=green> [color:blue]</font color=blue> [color:purple]</font color=purple>

You may have to get creative as to where you put your base station, near a window upstairs on the side of the house towards the neighbor or something. Get something like MacStumbler, AirStumbler, or iStumbler to run on your laptop to see what spots in your house have the best signal strength. Make sure you set it to poll every second or two.<br><br>An attic may not be a good place due to heat and cold extremes.

Thanks for the KB and the mention of iStumbler. On my MBA macstumbler, even 0.75 quit immediately and airstumbler doesn't discover squat.<br><br>iStumbler is listing five routers when my airport is only listing two and it gives me great stats.<br><br>Where my best reception is an addition with an uninsulated upstairs which I can fill with aluminum foil, and 18 inch pieces of wire until it looks like a UFO landing site. Since all my cell and wireless signals are coming from one direction the aluminum goes on the other side at a 45 degree angle reflecting the signal down into the house with an Express dangling in the middle. I might even attach all the unused coax wired throughout the house to the aluminum and watch what the iStumbler signal does.<br><br>On a whim I bought a Linksys N ultra Rangeplus which is a USB dual band dongle. model "WUSB66N"<br>I knew it was Windows only but figured there was a script put there for activating the antennae in it to my laptop. A search or two finds some minimal stuff but it won't be easy.<br><br>
