How do you configure the airport express manually? I'm attempting to do it wirelessly and just for music so I want it to become part of my network.

TK: Are you attempting to connect your Airport wirelessly using WDS or using ethernet to connect the Airport to the NetGear and then simply having the Airport for music streaming? If wirelessly, I've found that you'll need to do some configuration from the NetGear as well. The Airport Utility can allow you to connect the Airport Express wirelessly to the NetGear but the NetGear also has to accept the Airport Express as a device. This is usually done by MAC Address somewhere in the NetGear's admin interface. I no longer have a NetGear so I can't totally remember how this process worked but it can be done. I normally prefer to do even the configuring of the Airport Express manually instead of using the Set-up Assistant. This allows me to set the MAC address and such and many other settings not dealt with using the Set-up Assistant. One thing that may be affecting your connectivity just came to mind. Is your NetGear 802.11N compatible or only G compatible. If it is only G compatible, you may wish to set your Airport Express to broadcast using only the G protocol which is accessed in the Wireless tab of the Airport pane of the Airport Utility. HTH.
