Hi Guys

I live in a complex through which we are able to sign up for internet, I got a username and password and thats about it.

I want to share this internet connection over Wifi through my Airport Express but can't seem to get it done.

Which info do I need or should the username and password be enough?

Regards
 
Airport Express cannot be Wifi Client and Access Point at the same time.

So... Plug in ethernet cable between Express and Mac(Book) (I assume if you have Airport Express you have a Mac) ... Connect to your complexes Wifi Network with your Mac using the given username and password...

Then Go to System Preferences --> Sharing --> And tick the Internet Sharing box... Choosing to share your connection from [Airport] to computers using [Ethernet].

Then... Any device connected to airport express will be routed through your mac and onto the net.


You can do it the other way around as well... put the Express in client mode... connect to the Complex wifi network... and set your macbook to share your connection from [Ethernet] to computers using [Airport] ... But I wouldnt suggest this since the Airport Express can handle more clients than the Macbook's 3..

Something like that. ; )
