Hi guys,
I have also posted this in the Network forum, and relased this should be the forum for the posting. I am so stupid.

I have just purchased an AirPort Express to solve these problem for me. However, I am not too sure if I've got everything right or not.
Firstly, I have an iBook with a old version of Airport card which works great in my mothers house. However, it seems the reception of wireless in my landlord's room is not so great, I often don't get any reception or just very unstable 1 or 2 bar. After a chat with a guy in the Apple shop, he sugguest me to use AirPort Express as a bridge between my landlords wirless ADSL modem and my iBook. It seems that according to him, I don't have to do anything expect plug that AirPort Express on to the wall, and it would just work.
I took his advice, but it seems that amber light on the AirPort Express was keep flashing. Same result returned when I connected a cable from that ADSL wirless modem to the AirPort Express.
can some one please tell me what I need to do to get it work as a bridge? I really just want that AirPort Express to plug into a wall and without any cable, can that be done?

Thanks guys
Cheers
Nathan

No, Peripherals is the wrong place for networking questions. We make that very clear in the forum descriptions.

Also, please don't use meaningless words like "help!!!" in thread titles. We already know that you have a question, because otherwise, you wouldn't bother writing!
