Hi all,
I've got airport express providing my wifi attached to a Thompson router - unfortunately the Thompson is fairly unreliable and needs to be restarted on a regular basis which takes down the whole network presumably as it provides the DHCP - this means airplay is interrupted when the router goes down.
So I'm wondering whether I can use the 'DHCP only' option on the AE in router mode to have it allocate IPs on either the same or a different range in order to keep at least the local network up when the router goes down. Does anyone know whether this would work or any other solution that would?
