Can the Airport Express base station be extended

airportNetworkwifi

I'm thinking of replacing my home router (an older D-Link box) with the latest gen Airport Express base station.

I currently have an older Airport Express unit (like this) that I want to use in another part of the house to extend the network, but not sure if the latest Express units can be extended…

Or do I need to get the Airport Extreme to function as the base?

Looks like the answer is Yes.

From Apple Forums:

The AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless signal....using wireless only....from another AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or AirPort Express.
