AirPort Express
Just got my AirPort Express, which I wanted both
to give a stronger signal downstairs, and to play my digital music on the
downstairs stereo.
At first, I had
trouble setting things up so that the Express could do both -- I wanted it to do
both WDS and AirTunes. It seemed that I could do one or the other but not both.
Finally, I did manage to configure my AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
correctly, so both had the same settings (a private network with MAC access
control), and then everything worked. Unfortunately, the automatic WDS
configuration didn't (though this might be because of my security
settings).
Anyway, it's way cool to be
surfing wirelessly (indeed with a better signal), while playing music from
iTunes. I think this is worth the speed decrease from WDS (since even at half
speed, it's faster than my Internet connection).
