Sorry, I pu this in the rong thread. I have been using the manual setup button which command-l seems to envoke. there is also a command-shift-l which I haven't looked at yet but there is a button in the commands window that shows you any problems and gives you a chance to correct them. No matter what I do, I must be missing something. I'm off to investigate netgear.

TK: When the Airport Express is selected in the Table, press cmd-l which will bring up the configuration windows. There are various panes for you to configure various aspects of the AE.
