I LOVE the AE, but I have noticed that it will NOT do WDS without a lot of work and that is only with TWO router types. I use it with my other Apple Airport products, but I was only able to get it to do WDS with an ASUS router (and that was just one, not the whole router range)

So, if the OP is looking for distribution, the AE would be great hanging off something like homeplug, but to get it to distribute one would be best served only in conjunction with other apple router products
