Matching AirPort Express to Third Party Routers
An anonymous reader submits "After purchasing AirPort Express yesterday, I found out that my existing Netgear router didn't work with it in WDS mode. After a lot of searching, I found scattered bits of information about what routers worked and which ones didn't. I decided to start a site that hopefully will become a definitive list of routers that work with AirPort Express. It's not big yet, which is why I am submitting this here. If you have attempted successfully or unsuccessfully to set up AirPort Express in WDS mode with a non-Apple router, please let me know so that future users can find the information more readily."
This isn't even the begining of a definitive list, and yet the author already feels warranted in displaying adverstising.

Here's a much more detailed O'Reilly article (err... an O'Reilly link to other articles) concerning Airport Express compatibility.

Like Teddy with an elephant gun.
This setup has worked for me:
- Netgear WGT624 and Airport Express w/same name,
- Latest update for Netgear firmware (V4.1.11_1.0.1 worked for me)
- *might* need to set channel to something other than 11. I found problems when working on 11, so I switched it, and it's been fine since.
- Also, I found that making sure I had the Airport Card Update 2004-08-31 worked wonders as far as sound quality went...it was choppy before the update, and fine afterwards.
