Thanks Matthew for the quick response to my problem.
I have reviewed the settings in Airport Admin Utility. I did see various options for setting
the Apple Express.
I see "Create a Wireless Network (Home Router)" in the pop-up.
I see where to set up Airport Express as a WDS "remote base station".
I did not see a place to set up my Home Network (Main Base Station) to WDS.
A support page on Apple says "Wireless Distribution System is another way for AirPort
Express to join an existing Wi-Fi network. AirPort Express uses its Ethernet port and can
offer its wireless access point in WDS mode, but it requires that your other access points
be AirPort Extreme and/or AirPort Express. Client mode's advantage is that you can join
the networks of non-Apple access points and earlier AirPort base stations ("Dual Ethernet"
and "Graphite" models).
I do not have the Airport Extreme model. I have the older model. So I may have to
replace my current Main Base Station in order to set it to WDS.
I will investigate this further unless you have a suggestion.
