It is configured for WDS, as a repeater, I think.
My recent minor tribulation with the new firmware (the SB2 having a
hissy fit and refusing to connect wirelessly, maybe because I'd typed
in the WPA2 password wrongly the first time, until I'd reinstalled
the firmware) led me to try connecting it to the AE via ethernet. I
expect that this is the explanation (of which I had no appreciation
at all until this) for the reason I was so pleased with the result.
The EyeHome, though, does not in itself have wireless, so the AE MUST
be used as a bridge for that - and I still can't get it to work
properly. 20Mbps tops would explain that, too. I wonder if I could
try it with the Netgear, 8345GT which allegedly chucks out
108Mbps...... Thanks, Kevin. Very helpful suggestions, and food for
thought!

You might find that if the Airport Express is configured for WDS (as a
repeater), that the range will certainly be extended, but your latency
may rise and bandwidth may drop significantly. A better solution in
that case could perhaps be to use the Airport Express as a bridge,
rather than a repeater, and then anything within wire-able range of
the
AE could be connected through a switch to the AE and your latency and
bandwidth should improve (at least a bit anyhow)...
But video is just bigger. 802.11g even in best case scenarios (no
interference, open field testing) with consumer grade equipment
usually
only gets you about 20Mbps tops... Sometimes slightly more.
