I bought an Airport Express 2 years ago to extend the range of my older Airport Extreme and my reception improved marginally. I was expecting 4 or 5 bars constantly, but it varies between 1 and 5 bars.
Maybe you need to move it to another wall or another room.
Radio is line-of-sight. Any obstructions between either base station and your WiFi devices could be screwing it up. Plus, the Express needs a strong signal from the original base station.
But, if the Express is hard-wired (either to the AExtreme or a switch), then signal strength/quality should be as good as being adjacent to the AExtreme, correct?
