Just to be clear: The AE is NOT connected by ethernet to your daughter's modem/router in her bedroom? You can see only one WiFi network (and there are no hidden SSIDs)? I have a very similar setup: I cannot extend the WiFi network created by my Telstra Cable Modem (Netgear) using an Apple Time Capsule (essentially an Apple Airport Extreme). The TC is bridged to the Netgear via Ethernet so it can share the same LAN settings, but it creates its own separate wireless network. I now have an Airport Express extending THAT network in the family room, tethered to the Foxtel IQ and an Apple TV (that's another story). For the first time in its frustrating life, we are now able to get an IP address on the Foxtel IQ. That never happened with the Netgear WiFi extender I was using before.
