AIR 3 Beta for Mac

[Wdw]

Warren - 

Yes the Airport Express can be setup to access the wireless network merely as an ethernet access point and not extend it. This is known as client mode.

See instructions for setup here. This is the optimal way to configure it as it will not reduce your overall WIFI network bandwidth ( as extending a wireless network will ). Do check that your Airport Express supports client mode. The first Airport Express (802.11g only) which did not support 802.11n did not.

Sadly, the Devialets are not gigabit ethernet, they are 10/100, so older technology.

Gigabit is 1000mbps (megabits per second) Ethernet, which is 10x faster than 100mbps Ethernet, which is 10x faster than 10mbps Ethernet. 

You're the best, thanks and happy listening. wdw
