I would do the following. Have the express base station connected to the wimax box but position it so that the stereo can be connected to the stereo port as-well and use that as the main net distributor, then use the imac and powerbook as normal. And put the extreme base to connect the imac rev b also put the printer for the complete network in the same location as the imac B and share it wirelessly. As the express is 802.G you will not lose any speed over the extreme if you use it in place of the extreme. My set up is similar only using 802.b and g mixed. I have a Netgear router connected to a cable modem No other wires connecting a g4 sawtooth and a g4 ibook both running panther, also a 3400c powerbook running 9.1. Just connected in the last two days a g3 imac running X via a graphite base station the base station is acting as a bridge to the Netgear, and there is a lexmark photo printer connected to the sawtooth witch all the Macs except the 3400 can print to. The 3400 prints to a folder on the sawtooth then it is printed from there. I want to use the imac for this but at the moment cannot seem to get it to run it is seen but just not able to print but it will work soon.
