First, unplug all the Ethernet cables to disconnect it from your existing network.This way, you’ll be able to control your network’s advanced features via the eero app.īridging your AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule: We recommend that you bridge your AirPort device, which essentially turns it into a network-enabled hard drive and gigabit switch. Much cleaner.If you’re connecting either an AirPort Extreme or a Time Capsule to your eero network, you’ll have to disable the wireless and routing functions on either your Airport device or your eeros. With Airplay landing on a majority of my AV devices like SoundTouch speakers and Samsung smart tv, I have only one modem/router and three pods to contend with. Moving forward I am liking the BlueCurve networking gear. Too bad Apple dropped out of the wireless networking business, I really liked using the Airport devices and Airport Utility. Notwithstanding, all of my Airport device tinkering sums up to relatively good experience using those devices for networks and Airplay over the years. Unfortunately the routers now sit on a shelf ready for the second market. I found using a second AirPort Extreme and indeed an Airport Express to extend my network resulted in some interference Airport Express as a music player. In this case, the goal is ANY Internet access in the Other Person's garage, even if it is "only" somewhere around 50 Mbit/second.Īpple allows you to configure their devices in a variety of configurations as base stations, extenders, clients music players. will have lower speed than if the same device was similarly-connected directly to the cable-modem. I would expect that any device connected (wired/wireless) to the A.E. is connected just as "another" Ethernet-connected device on your network, instead of configuring it as a "range extender" ? Any difference?ĭoes it make a difference if the A.E. Speaking from experience, I suggest leaving your Airport Extreme in dual band and letting your garage device do the rest as far as figuring which band to connect to the My experience using an AirPort Extreme as a range extender saw my networks speeds cut exactly in half.Īre all devices on your network getting only "half" the speed, including the ones directly connected (wired/wireless) to your Shaw cable-modem? Simple test: measure the speed of one of your "wired" devices that is connected to the cable-modem, then power-off the A.E., and re-measure the speed. I hope your AirPort Extreme keeps you going but as far as the garage, you may have problems getting that 5GHz signal out there. But hey I understand there may be a new faster Xi7 router coming out soon. I plan on staying at the 1Gigabit plan for a while.

This require 3 different Modem/ Routers and now some pods Wireless tv players. In the last two years I have gone from Shaw 150,300,600 and now Gigabit. So I think there is some merit to rent v purchase at least where Shaw gear is concerned. Even my high performance iMac(2013 i7 3.6 GHz 16 GB Ram with 512 SSD drive) can no longer be OS upgraded. Technology is rapidly changing and while I profess to likeing the latest and greatest there are times where upgrades outpace even my pursuit of the bleeding edge. Speaking from my own experience I have a number of discontinued Airport routers, Shaw terminals and even iPhones sitting on the shelf after upgrading over the past five or six years. Indeed this is the common debate: rent v own. I would rather not have to spend $120 a year for pods.
