Yup, both short range (to get to my desktop system) and long range/house wide (at mom's) and I chat with the network guy at work that is responsible for keeping 10k people on 20 acres connected.
Unfortunately each one is different in how it can be set up and operate. Not counting enterprise level stuff best is a Belkin I got at wally, it extends the same SSID (network name) whereas the other's I've used all want to create a new network. Either will work for your system.
Basically, you reset the extender to factory defaults (via button and paperclip), plug in with a laptop or desktop, and get an IP via DHCP. You'll then be able to connect to the device (usually at the .1 of the subnet your DHCP addy is in) via browser and configure it, first for what network it connects to and then to set up the new/extended network.
