HOWTO Setup Airport Express to extend Airport Extreme network
I recently had to completely reset my Airport Extreme and Airport Express base stations.
I had a heck of a time trying to configure the Airport Express properly. I don't know if it was a problem of knowing too much or too little, but nothing worked. Fortunately I was able to call Apple and they helped me get hooked up, but I wanted to make note of how this works in case I ever need to do it again.
These instructions assume that the Airport Extreme is already setup and that your Mac has joined that network.
- Unplug the Airport Express
- Hold down reset button and plug it back in
- Wait for 4 flashes
- run Airport Setup Assistant
- Choose: Setup a new Airport
- Join existing network
- Extend range
Boom, 7 simple steps... simple, if you do them in the right order.

Hello, I would have emailed but couldn't get the link to work.
anyway I started working for a company that uses ACT! I am Mac user and was told I could get Act for Mac. I have spent the last ten hours trying to find this software, and then I saw your site, which confirmed what I was beginning to fear. There is no suitable solution to the act/mac problem without a pc. I am grateful for the information, for I too was getting frustrated with reading scores of pages that have nothing to do with ACT! but something to do with the word "act"
Thank you
Sa
