Make sure your Airport Express is set to DHCP and NAT

[Jamington2004]

Hi Jamington


I have got a solid network at home made of 3 WIFI access point...(Cisco WAP121-E-K9-G5) But  my fourth phantom located in the bedroom is struggling to sustain a stable connection...

So I'm considering the purchase of an airport express... just a quick question really.. is it worth spending for another network device ?

would that truly make the difference?


Thx in advance


Cheers

Hi I couldn't say for your set up with wifi extenders and different rooms in the mix

For me though - mine were cutting out and crashing daily, multiple times 

Now they don't - I had to do one reset because streaming Amazon prime via ipad into optical switch and into dialogue was cutting out.

Other than its been almost perfect

Still wholly unacceptable for £3.5k of speaker to completely crash and burn if the wifi network isnt to its  liking. I could understand interference, intermittent breaks in sound - but I would expect it to pass. For Spark app to freeze and all sources to become I un-useable, and needing to do a 10 minute full reset including main router is crazy. (We are talking 150mbps wifi and top notch router and dialogue all within a few feet of the speakers in the same room) 

But for now it works with the Airport added, and the speakers are incredible so all is forgiven
