Is my Airport Extreme doing "N"????

[Steven Jackson]

Hi,

Below is my set-up. It works, but I'm worried that I should have done it differently to get maximum performance with my hardware. I'd really appreciate someone glancing over it and letting me know whether it seems okay.

Cable internet connected wired to modem provided by ISP.
Ethernet cable to Airport Extreme (the new one)

Intel iMac Core 2 Duo (N enabled by disc included with Airport Extreme) connecting wirelessly:
-- Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
-- Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal

Airport Express (just used for Airtunes, and nothing else)
-- Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network

Is the Airport express slowing down my network? I want N speeds (just because I can) and don't need to worry about connecting any other devices (apart from the Airport Express) to the network.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Steve.

Just try copying a file from a network file share.

It is quite apparent. If you do not have a NFS then I will proceed by beginning to say "Then you do not need.... "

For your needs N does not look necassary however it would be nice to have.
