Hello,
i have one AE in my home and want to add a second AE to my garage via Ethernet to extend my Wifi. To set up the garage AE should the Ethernet cable be plugged into the office AE and
should the settings mirror the office AE ‘s ?
Thanks,
Mot
The second AE does not need to be plugged into the first.. just as long as it is plugged into main router or switch connected to it is fine.
The setup is pretty well automatic on the latest Airport utility.. as long as it is plugged in before you start it will take over and do the task of mirrored setup for you.

Of possible interest, you probably noticed that the second AE was being set up to "extend using Ethernet" during the software configuration process, but if you check the actual Network Mode settings for the AE using AirPort Utility, you will see that the second AE was actually set up to "create a wireless network"
Thank you!
i plugged in the Ethernet cable from the main AE router’s LAN port to the Wan port on the 2nd AE and the software did the rest!
