Thanks for your help. I was contacted by email, obviously I couldn't
read the f 'in manual Tom. But I did get online to linksys and read
their instructions. They were very similar to your responses. I'll give
them a try when I go to set it up (and I WILL read the manual, ty.)
Reading online it says that the autoconfig doesn't work if security is
set up. The expander has to be set up manually. I find it amazing that
some people can't be helpful and civil at the same time.

I have a friend using a Mac Power Book computer. They purchased a Linksys
Wireless G Expander. Any suggestions on how to connect this to make it work
with their wireless router. They were told by the store they purchased it
from that all they had to do was to plug it in and it would work.
TIA

The basic outline of what they did to get it to work was:
1) Turn off WEP on your router
2) Plug the WRE54G in the same room as your router
3) Hit autoconfig button
4) Browse to 192.168.1.240 and make sure the settings match your router
5) Change the WRE54G SSID to something DIFFERENT than your router
6) Turn on WEP on the WRE54G
7) Turn back on WEP on your router
