Then, how do you make sure it's detecting your Airport, and not someone elses 
by mistake?  I don't think anyone else around here has  one, but just in 
case...  Is it one of these things, I'm gonna start by connecting it via 
ethernet, not wifi?  If so, then that answers my question entirely.

  I think you have to use Airport Utility to set it up; I do not know if there 
is a web interface.  There is no default username/password...It isn't secured 
until you do the setup.

    Excellent!  I'll definitely give that a try.  My only question really 
remains is, do I have to use the utility to configure things, or is there a way 
I can log into the router as well via a web based admin interface?  Also, do 
you know what the default login credentials are for the device, until you 
change it, which of corse, I would do?

      When you get the Airport Express home, Launch Airport Utility and you'll 
see it in the list of additional devices.  I have a Time Capsule, so it detects 
my network automatically and extends it.  I don't know if this works with a 3rd 
party router though.  At any rate, it is a simple procedure to make the 
necessary entries inside Airport Utility to have the Express extend your wifi.

        Oh, ok, so in other words, I'd be bridging making my Linksys router 
carry to the Express, which then would get carried to it's ethernet port, which 
then in term, would be sent out it's LAN port to my receiver.

        Brilliant.  I may just go that route, as to be frankly honest with you, 
I'd actually been looking at getting an Airport Express.  Would an Express 
work, or do I need an Extreme.
         If the Express will support extender bridging ability, then that's all 
I need.  Do you have specific directions on how to set the router up as an 
extender?  If it's not too expensive, I'll just go buy one come Friday when I 
get my paycheck, no worries.

        I understand better now what you're saying to do.  that actually makes 
perfect sense.
