I have a wireless network with a Verizon router running near an older PC in an upstairs bedroom.

I use a newer Dell PC and a Dell laptop in a downstairs room, and get very good Internet connectivity with both these.

Recently bought an AirPort Express Base Station N (AEBS) with the intention to connect it to my stereo system so I could play iTunes music through my large speakers.

When I plug the AEBS into the wall in the downstairs room, it stabilizes with a flashing amber light (can't connect to network). Meanwhile I have installed the AirPort Express software on the downstairs PC. When I run this software (AirPort Utility) it says it cannot detect any AirPort wireless devices.

Any ideas? My wireless network is password protected, could this be the problem? If so, I'm not sure how to get around that.
