Hi all

I am thinking of getting another wireless router either extreme or express but I have heard that WDS is pretty bad as it slows down your bandwidth in half.

I own airport extreme at the moment but the signal is not so good in another room where my iMac and external harddisk sync with appletv.

So if I bought another extreme or express and set it up as WDS. I use the wan port as an ethernal. would my imac has a good speed when transfering files to another computer in a network? or it will be very slow?

At the moment I can transfer up to 5-6Mb/sec to another computer, not sure whether WDS will bring my speed down...

Cheers :)
