No, "internet Connect" software will work the same.

It is still compatible with Airport stuff. It wouldn't surprise me they just renamed it Airport instead of Internet Connect.

Just set the connections up the same way.

All connection software are basically the same, they all have to use the same requirements to be used by different systems, except they just rename it to what they want.

How do you add airport express to an airport extreme wireless network to extend the range of the signal?

The quick and easy way to add an Airport Express to an Airport Extreme network is to use the AirPort Express Assistant which is on the disc that came with the Express. This will talk you through the options. Just tell it to connect to your existing network and it will figure it all out for you. It will ask for your Extreme's password and then automatically configure the Extreme to use the Express. Restart the Express and you are done. If you prefer to get your hands dirty use the Airport utility which is in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder. Allowing for different versions of Mac OS X/Airport utility you generally select your Extreme base station and then WDS (Wireless Distribution System) options. Click the + button to add to the network. Enter the MAC address for your Express. Turn off Distribute IP addresses on the Network. You want to allow the Extreme base station to be a Remote base station.
