My understanding was I had to get a router to create the "invisible wires" of a wireless wifi LAN....that this was the missing step in connecting the two.

I think the difficulty with the Airport Express set-up itself is due to the fact you do not have an Internet connection, at least for the set-up process. If you could set it up where it can connect to a router and Internet, get it working, then move it back to its final location, you may have more success.
