Hi all.

I just picked up an airport extreme because my netgear router was driving me insane (any time a large file transfer was underway it would stall and require power cycling).

Now I'm wondering whether I can't use the two of them together to get a stronger wireless signal throughout my (two-level) house? Ideally, I'd like to be able to mount my desktop's media drive on my laptop and watch movies anywhere in the house.

Any ideas on whether I can bridge these two routers and how I might go about it?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Scott

oops. Didn't notice this was supposed to go in networking (duh). Could a mod move this?
