[X4U] Airport Express

[Norman Cohen]

Hi,

I just got my second AE today. I was able to configure it to use WDS to 
expand my network without problem. With my first one, I did have some 
problems and did have to do a hard reset to erase everything before it 
was able to hold the new settings.

Make sure you have the latest version of Airport Admin Utility (v4.0) 
to adjust the settings. I don't use the Airport Express config utility 
as I found it didn't do the things I needed it to do to allow expansion 
of my network.
