I have always used a basic off the shelf "Router as a WAP" (see google) to do this trick.
I'm sure an Apple Airport can do this trick too. Google "Apple Airport as a WAP" to see if anyone documented or discussed that.

I have a LAN with five mac's using an Airport Extreme. I would like wireless conectivity in the basement. but the signal can"t get there. I do have an ethernet cable connection to the basement from the airport. Can I connect an airport express in the basement to the ethernet cable to enable wireless connectivity in the basement? If not, do you have a suggestion as to how I can do this. Thank you. N Jacobs
