Is it possible to WIRELESSLY connect the WN2500RP to the Airport Extreme?
Hey guys! I'm new on these forums, so pardon me if this has been asked before.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to buying the Airport Extreme, and use it as my main router, and I was wondering if my current Range Extender, the WN2500RP, is compatible with the apple's router.
Thank you in advance guys!

Come on guys... :( - I was wondering this myself and found the answer in one place, on a review of the WN2500RP

"Arrived on time in excellent condition. The extender was easy to set up and solved my problem of having weak signals upstairs because the Airport Extreme N router was downstairs."
I'm assuming you just go to manual setup on the airport, click the wireless tab and check "Allow this network to be extended"
you'll probably also need to do some configuring on the netgear end. i'm going to order one of these soon i'll post my results alienjiz420 wrote: I was wondering this myself and found the answer in one place, on a review of the WN2500RP

Yeah, I didn't experience any problems setting up the extender, it works perfectly with my Airport Extreme!The_Hobbit wrote: BUMP

this answered on duplicate thread
http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=77480- I was able to wirelessly connect a WN3000RP. Try a reset first. Also, if using the device to extend the range of an Airport/Time Capsule network, DO NOT make the network Extendable. Set up the network normally, and then connect the extender via the Netgear set-up page.
