Update: Airport Extended Network issues

I haven't yet managed to figure out the settings for my extended network using AirportExpress. My MacBook Air is able to connect to the AX but not my iPhone nor my three year old MacBook.

It's obviously an issue with the Wireless settings becos both the iPhone and the MacBook are 802.11b/g whereas the MBA and the Airports are all 802.11n. I have chosen the b/g compatible option in the wireless settings of the TimeCapsule and indeed, the iPhone and MacBook are able to connect to the TC, but these settings are not getting translated to the AX when extending the network.

More R&D required…

UPDATE 1: Upgrading the Airport firmware to the latest 7.4.2 seems to have helped the situation. The two AX are now able to connect to each other, and the second AX has a wireless signal that can be detected by my iPhone, however, the signal is still a bit erratic and not as strong as I would have expected. Better than nothing, I guess.
