Post your Airport Network Setup

-BigMac- · Jan 9, 2013, 12:21 AM

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.

The Windows version of Airport utility thankfully hasn't been iosified yet.

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.

Your not the only person who see's no value in Airport..

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.

Yes, the network is wired. Wired = ______ Wireless = ----------
