So I have the following Network Configuration:

1 Linksys WRT54G Connected To Road Runner Modem

1 Airport Express CONNECTED, but not extending, To Wireless shared by Linksys

I want to be able to connect a computer to Airport Express and get internet from it..... Is there a way to do this?

  1. OK why do you need both?  Apples wireless will connect perfectly to the WRT54G just like the AIrport. (Wifi is Wifi)

    Using two routers needs a high level of configuration and network understanding - you are attempting to use two routers here. Unless each is setup to properly communicate with the other, all you will get is nothing!  Pick which one you want to use and use ONE router!

    You can indeed use either one of these with either PC or MAC  even though the adds make you think the two are at war sometimes they aren't. Routers are totally non dependent upon the PCs or MACs that connect to them. They don't know nor do they care what operating system is used.

    Now if you mean you want to receive the signal from the WRT54G on the Airport Express and use the ethernet output to feed other computers - Put the AIrport in BRIDGE mode. Once the wireless connection is made the airport will bridge the wireless to the ethernet ports (a backwards router if you will working to bridge the two systems)
