[QUOTE="Jon Malmstrom, post: 76714, member: 2464"] Correct me if I am wrong, but... Depending of which type of ape you are using, there are some constraints. If you use the old one, with one Ethernet jack it is configured to connect to a wan, in eg adsl modem. To use the jack as LAN you must set the ape in bridge mode and I am unsure if you can use it without another router that manages the network. Therefore the new ape is considered with both LAN and WAN port Check this: [URL]http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1515[/URL] Question: Since AirPort Express only has one Ethernet port, does it act as a LAN port, WAN port, or both? Answer: Depending on how you have it set up, the Ethernet port can function as a LAN port (defined as either simple bridging or sharing your Internet connection via network address translation) or a WAN port (connecting to your broadband Internet service provider or upstream router). However, it never acts as both simultaneously. By default the AirPort Express Ethernet port acts as a WAN port. When it is set up as a secondary extended Wi-Fi base station, it can act as a LAN port. Assuming that your Internet service provider only gives you one IP address (the most common scenario for homes), this means that AirPort Express can only accommodate wired clients when acting as an extender or bridge. Therefore, if you need to support wired clients and only want to get one base station (or router, as it's the routing capacity of AirPort Express that is relevant here), you should get the AirPort Extreme Base Station or Time Capsule instead.
