I have an ethernet LAN in the shop connected to the 'extender' and another in the house connected to the primary Airport. The 'LAN' ethernet port allows those devices that don't have wireless capabilities to be added as an ethernet cabled LAN and share everything equally with the wireless devices. I notice no difference in connection speeds to the internet using the Airports, or ethernet cables and being able to connect numerous devices via Wi-Fi is much simpler and more efficient. Normally you can expect a repeater to cut data transfer speeds in half, but since the devices used in the shop have slower data transfer speeds anyways, they deliver the same speeds when connected to either A irport.
