Hi all.

OK. This should be simple, but I'm having trouble. Here's the situation:

* Cable modem into Airport Extreme, which routes to two laptops, one PC, and connects to a USB printer
* LAN out of AE into Netgear wireless router
* Netgear routes to my Eye Home and my desktop G4

This works fine, although I cannot access my desktop via rendezvous, which isn't a huge issue. But I'd like it to work.

I know there has to be a better way to set this up—specifically, to use the netgear as the only router and still allow the AE to provide USB printing. That's really all I want.

Any ideas on how to set this up? If it helps, I've also got an Airport Express.

Thanks in advance.

The setup you have will work if you connect the cable from the Airport Extreme to a LAN port of the Netgear, not to the WAN port, and if you turn off the DHCP server function of the Netgear. The Netgear will then act as a wireless bridge instead of a wireless router.
