Post your Airport Network Setup

Hi Guys.

I'm about to expand my Airport network with a couple of Airport Extremes, right now though my network looks pretty boring.

I'm curious to see how complicated/extensive some networks are.


To get the ball rolling, here's my screenshot 🙂

Here's mine.

The basic objective is to have two wifi and two Ethernet access points. One on each end of the house.

Used to have another Express, but I sold it after I realised it wasn't needed.

I have none, don't really need one either at this point.
My D-Link is still fast and I don't see the AirPort having a bigger range.

I'm still on my network 200m away from home, but 2nd floor: no. 😱

I like the sexiness of the Airport but I have to wallmount it and that is not possible with the Airport (although now there's probably a ridiculously overpriced bracket available).

My D-Link has the same specs...decent looks and most importantly: wallmountability.

Why no value? I'd have one if it wasn't such a pain and nearly impossible to add my own router to my ISP's modem/router combo.

I know they're a lot more expensive than a basic Linksys router that's fine for most people, but it does have a lot more features.

Not mine, but saw this on Reddit. A home theater installer was asked to cover a 30,000 sqft house with wifi, this is how they did it.

I wonder if the routers are all connected via copper (ethernet) or wirelessly. I would hope copper because that would be one slow network.
