hello everyone,

may have been asked before, couldn't find answer specific problem. living in apartment wifi provided. have access modem , router settings, cannot directly connect them. using airport extreme join network. works of wireless devices, when try connect desktop via ethernet airport, cannot connect internet. when plug macbook ethernet, network pane tells me following: "ethernet: connected. ethernet active , has ip address 169.254.115.9." however, safari tells me not connected internet.

airport set join wireless network. when select "extend wireless network", tells me "the network selected cannot extended." router cisco, not familiar interface airport's. there no obvious "allow network extended" equivalent, there may way unaware of.

question is, possible wirelessly join network airport, , connect computer airport via ethernet?

 

choose 'join wireless network' , check box 'allow ethernet clients'.

think doesn't exist on older airport units. may require firmware update?

use time.
