Disklavier

Joan,

The way to set this up _is_ somewhat confusing. As you have  
discovered, if the device is set up as a client (by selecting "Join  
an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)" in the "Wireless  
Mode" pop-up of the Airport Admin Utility), the ethernet port is not  
enabled. What you need to do is select "Create a Wireless Network  
(Home Router)" in this pop-up. This will allow the ethernet port to  
be active. Then you need to set up your main wireless router as a WDS  
"main base station" and the Airport Express as a WDS "remote base  
station". This is what allows the Express to join your wireless network.

This may be straying to far off-topic. Feel free to contact me  
privately if you need additional info to get it up and running.
