Airport Express - wifi network extension with wireless speakers

Question

Background: I am considering Airport Express(AE) to my room, but i am getting confusing informations about how it can operate in different circumstances. I already have router, with wifi and also lan ports. The AE would be connected by cable to currently owned router and i would also like to connect my Mac by wire to the AE.

Question: What i want to do is extend wifi signal in our flat and also have possibility to use my speakers wirelessly. Is it possible with current AE?

Answer 1

Yes you can use the Airport Express to extend the wifi signal from your other router: You just have to change the settings for your device in the Aiport utility to extend a network instead of creating a new one.
