AnswerI use my Extreme as a wireless router that is connected to my modem. Yes, it is powerful enough to provide sufficient wifi signals to the rest of my house. I also use the Express as an extension of the Extreme so as to stream music from my iPad/iPhone to my amplifier. The Express can be used alone or as an extension of the Extreme although it's wifi range is not as good compared to the Extreme.

AnswerIt will make it (the hard drive) accessible by any computer in your house, a solution if you want to have a centralized location for backups and/or storage (i.e. music, videos, pictures, etc.) - I'd still recommend backing up your external drive thou.

Leopard Compatible?
I have an old iMac OS 10.5 that I'm using in Wifi mode - not connected to a modem. I understand fully that Airport extreme requires OS 10.7.5 and Airport Utility 6.3 or IOS 6 and above. I have no desire to double upgrade the iMac. Could I set up and administer the Airport Extreme from an IOS 7 device and continue to connect my iMac through Wifi? Thanks
