They connect wirelessly to each other. As far as how far the range
will be extended, depends upon the environment. If your structure is
all metal, then don't expect good performance no matter what you do.
IF the structure contains a significant amount of metal, you may have
to rethink things. Point is wireless will only be as good as the
environment unless you want to spend a lot of money and put extenders
in every room. Of course that would let you stream music everywhere. :)]

Hi again all.
Ok if I buy another airport express the second airport express would
be set to the toption that says I want to extend the range or
whatever that option is called then would the first airport express
stay near the pc and connect the way it does by joining a wireless
network and connecting wirelessly or would it connect to the router
via ethernet cable and then the second airport express would be set
to extend the range option?
I'm wondering if I had an apple bass station whichn is using the
newer n standard if it would improve the range and then would I tell
the airport express unit that talks to the apple bass station to
extend the range or would it work better with 2 airport express units?
I only need the range to be extended by 20 metres or so.
Thanks.

yes, get another ae and then you will be able to play through both
at the same time.

HI all.
Ok all the airport express problems seem all sorted now.
My only problem is I have another stereo which is further away
from the airport express and i'm wondering the wireless signal is
having problems reaching the airport express out in the lounge.
The router I have is a 54g wireless router which my internet also
runs through and my airport express conects to that wireless
router using wpa2 encryption.
Is there an extender or any other way I can get more wireless range
so the airport express in the lounge won't keep getting timeout
errors while trying to stream music?
Would having an airport extreeme bass station seen's it's using
the newer wireless n standard would that improve wireless signal
at all or not?
I'm not really worried if I can't stream to the stereo out in the
lounge seen's the one in my bedroom i can stream to fine.
It's more the conveenience of streaming to the lounge for parties
etc.
If there is another solution or a way I can get more wireless
range from either replacing my existing g router with an n router
if that would help i'll do it.
Is the newer n standard able to transmit further then the original
wireless g standard?
Thanks to anyone who may be able to help.
