Is This AEBS+TC Setup Optimal?

[jzj687]

Hi,

I was just wondering if someone could tell me whether i set up my system in the best way possible.


I included a pic i made....hopefully it can help clairfy.



Physical setup:

Modem connected via ethernet cable to WAN of AEBS(new)

Time Capsule LAN connected via ethernet cable to LAN of AEBS(new)

AEBS(old) LAN connected via ethernet cable to LAN of AEBS(new)


Settings:

AEBS(new):

- creating a 5ghz "n" network. Sharing public IP address
- 24mps multicast rate. 25% transmit power. using wide channels


Time Capsule:

- Creating a 5ghz "n" network. same exact name as AEBSnew network. bridge mode.
-24mps multicast rate. 25% transmit power. using wide channels


AEBS(old):

- creating a b/g network. different name than other network mentioned.
- bridge mode.





My internet works fine on both networks... i usually get a transmit rate of 243-300 and an rssi of -48 with the "n" network.

I just want to know if you think this is the optimal setup!...thanks!!!!!

Why do you have 2 5Ghz routers?

huh?....ones a time capsule...instead of it extending the network and using up wireless bandwith, i was told it would run faster if i set it up wired and made it create the same network name which in effect, extends the network

Time Capsule IS a router. I don't see why you need a 5 Ghz Airport and a 5 Ghz Time Capsule.

Four words: BIG. HOUSE. MANY. FILES.

Hence the 2 "routers" (3 if you count the old one being used for b/g) and the need for the TC drive.


I dont see what that comment has to with my question though....

anyone?...

Mainly wanna know if it should be LAN-LAN or LAN-WAN since the TC and AEBSold are both creating networks as well
