I've got an Airport Extreme Base Station and an Airport Express that is in bridge mode. My transmit rate when I look at the Maybe I'm thinking this all wrong, but I get really slow Transmit Rate to my AEBS in the Logs and Statistics area is only in the 50's (signal is -24 and noise -95). However, my macbook's airport connection rate to the AEBS is in the 110's when the macbook is sitting right next to the Airport Extreme (and I have verified that the macbook is connected to the AEBS and not the AE). Any reason for this and am I thinking correctly that the Transmit Rate is a reflection on how fast the connection is?

Also, is there a way to force my Macbook to connect only to the AEBS even when it's closer to the Airport Express?
