Thanks for the instructions, but… I don't think that will cut it for my situation. What I want to do is connect wirelessly to my existing Apple wireless network and then connect a non-wireless computer to the Snow by Ethernet cable.
I'm already doing just that with a second Airport Extreme that lives in my media center, distributing network connections to non-wireless equipment through the Ethernet ports on the Airport Extreme (actually, more than 4 connections as I have a switch connected to one port of the Airport Extreme to service a couple extra pieces of equipment). The second router is set up to "Extend a wireless network" which is a choice not offered by the Snow, only "participate in a WDS network - which I do not want to do as I set up initially as a WDS network and it was a PITA until I switched to "Extend a wireless network."
I believe, the "cool factor" having a working retro router next to my Cube isn't worth the effort. I'll just use a USB wireless adapter on the iMac in question and call it soup. I can still keep the Snow there for looks, just unplugged.
Thanks for the help.
