I need something to do what it does, similarly but cannot think of a simple
solution off the top of my head. Simply a router to work on an existing set
up that can connect via Wifi and therefore extend the network and allow me
to have a private sub network with a hard drive and printer attached to the
Airport alternative, allowing me to have my own private network drive and
printer on a university network.

Any ideas?
