How many Airport Expresses can you link and still work properly

How many Airiport Expresses can you link and still work properly.

It would depend on whether all of these base stations will be interconnected by Ethernet or by wireless and what your goal is with them.
In a roaming network, where all base stations would be connected by Ethernet, you could have 10+ base stations. Apple has never (at least to me) any limits on the number of base stations that can be used in this type of network.
In an extended network, where all of the base stations use wireless connections, the practical limit would be 4 or 5 base stations.

  • How Many AirPort Expresses can you use with BaseStatio to Exended Coverage?

    I have the airport Extreme N Base station and have one airport N Express hooked up to get better coverage...
    can I hook up more than 1 express to make a bigger coverage area on my property?
    Thanks

    can I hook up more than 1 express to make a bigger coverage area on my property?
    Yes, but you cannot connect the additional 802.11n base stations in series to extend the range as the 802.11n "extend" feature does not support relays like in a 802.11g WDS.

    Theoretically as much as you want but there are technical limitations about the usable bandwidth in the wireless or by the used access point.
    All participants (stations) in a wireless network share the available bandwhith equally and therefore a point will get reached where the throughput in the network became insufficient to stream music.
    Also some routers limit the number of stations could get connected. For instance Apples Airport Extreme have a limit of 50 connected clients and the AP-Express (if used as access point) a limit of 10 simultaneous connections.

  • How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

    How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
    What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
    Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

    FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

  • How many airport express can be supported by software remote at one time.

    how many airport express can be supported by software remote at one time?
    I mean remote software can control at one time

    Well Apple makes an iOS application called 'Remote' it's used to control iTunes on a Mac, Or to control an Apple TV Multimedia features.
    Apple also makes "AirPort Utility" for iOS. Airport Utility can be used to configure Aiport Extrem, Airport Express And Time Capsul using an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. You can use it to connect to one device at a time. While connected to the device you can configure it to work as part of a larger Airport network. If you want to configure muliple device, you would connect to one device,  configure it,  And then connect to the next device, and configure it, and so on and so fourth.
    I haven't found a limit.
    How big of a network are you trying to make?

  • HI, do you know how many airport express I can use per Mac????

    I need to know how many airport express can I use simultanously in my Mac ... any idea???

    Thanks for your question, I live in a 3 floor house, the cable router is in the 2nd floor, I already have one connected airport exrpess in the 1st one, but I need to increase the wifi signal in the 3rd one... so for that reason I would like to conecct one additoonal one to my wifi network...

  • How many Airport Expresses possible?

    Been looking far and wide for this answer.... how many Airport Expresses can iTunes stream to at once? I know with iTunes v6 and the firmware update it's possible to stream to more than one... but what's the maximum? Is there a max?
    I know only one stream is possible I'd just like to figure out how many I could get. Thanks in advance.

    Quoting from Apple's Airport Express FAQ:
    Question: Can iTunes send a single AirTunes stream to multiple AirPort Express stations?
    Answer: Yes. With iTunes 6.0.2 or later, you can send an AirTunes stream to multiple remote AirPort Express units, provided that each AirPort Express has the latest AirPort firmware (available here). The maximum number of remote AirPort Express units is three to six in typical conditions. The number that works for you will depend on your environmental conditions (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the remote AirPort Express units, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.
    The practical limit on the number of Airport Express devices you can stream to at one time (as indicated in that paragraph) is determined by the available bandwidth of the wireless network.
    The next question, of course, is how many could be supported if all Airport Expresses were cabled to an ethernet network.

  • How many AirPort Express stations can be supported by an AirPort Extreme wirelessly?

    I got one AirPort Extreme in my home and would like to extend the wireless network by purchasing additional AirPort Express.  Wanna know how many AirPort Express stations can be supported by an AirPort Extreme wirelessly?
    Thanks.
    Tony

    Bob -- question for you which I can't answer as I don't have an airport extreme. The newer Extremes can create both G and N networks and can create the N network in the 5 mhz band. Can you increase the number of Express units you can connect wirelessly if you split the load between the 2.4 mhz G and 5 mhz N networks created by the Extreme. (recognizing that the 5 mhz band has less range than the 2.4 mhz band)
    Not an issue for me as I only have three connected wirelessly, but I've always wondered about this. Of my three AX units one connects to a G network created by a Linksys WRT54GS and two connect to the N network created by the AX.
    So instead of 3-4 AX units could it become 6-8?

  • How many Airport Express...

    How many Airport Express units can be used simultaneously?  I have an audio application that is wireless and could potentially have 12-20 separate areas. The most I have actually ever tried is 4 and it worked fine.  Any limitations that anyone has read about, or has anyone tried this?

    Well, a standard "main" router that will supply DHCP and NAT services for the entire network will be able to allow up to a total of about 250 devices to connect. That would include the AirPorts, and any devices that are connected to the AirPorts and any other devices that you have on the network.
    Each AirPort Express (new version) will handle up to 50 wireless clients. It would be much better to limit that to 20-25 to keep the speed up.  So, you'll have to do some math to try to figure out how many total devices will connect to the network when everything is working.
    You could connect 20 AirPort Express devices to the main router....but you would only be able to connect about 10-15 devices to each Express.
    Or, connect 10 Express devices to the main router and you can connect about 20-25 devices to each Express.
    If you plan to connect to the Internet, keep in mind that all devices will share the bandwidth. If you have a 100 Mbps Internet connection, and 100 clients connected to the network, then each client will get about 1 Mbps. Pretty slow.
    I'm not sure what your audio application is here....the network examples I am providing assume that you will be connecting wireless and wired Ethernet clients to the network.
    If you could detail your proposed system, other users could offer their comments. We're still pretty much guessing at hypotheticals at this point.

  • How many motions tweens can you have on a timeline?

    I'm a college student in Seattle.  We just had our mid-terms in Flash CS5.  One of the really simple questions was "How many motion tweens can you have on a timeline."  Yup.  The answer is one...... or is it?  I had a long discussion with my tutor (who is the greatest tutor in the world) and he wanted to think about it. I said to him that I thought that one motion tween was wrong because you can click on an object in the timeline, make it a motion tween, and double click it and make several motion tweens.  So, essentially, you can have more than one motion tween on a timeline.  Is anyone able to advise me because this is all about grades!

    You can have quite a few motion tweens on a timeline.  You can even have them happening simultaneously (I don't know of a specific limit), as long as they are all on their own layers.  Though the more you add simultaneously the more they can weigh down the speed of things running.
    If you need to prove this to someone, the easiest way is to create it and demonstrate it.  But you may want to check the exact wording of the question... it would not be beyond an examiner to throw a trick question in.

  • How many ADFS farms can you have in a single forest/single domain?

    Hi
    I may have some terminology incorrect...please let me know if I do. :)
    My question is, how many ADFS farms can you have in a single forest/single domain? If you want to know why I am asking...please read on.
    We have 1 ADFS Farm and we are looking adding services to it. However not every cloud vendor provides a "Identity Broker" with there services.
    We have a consultant that is advising that we need to enable a SAML-based IdP-initiated single sign-on (SSO) ie using "IdpInitiatedSignOnPage"
    However to do this we need to modify the ADFS website to have "drop down" list so the user can select the "Relying Party" and then authentication with them.
    This means we are exposing a list of every company/party we have federated with. The exposure of this information, is deemed a security concern by our company....which I agree with.
    So the consultant advises that we need a separate ADFS farm. I have searched online, but haven't found any information that confirms multiple ADFS farms can be implemented in a single forest/single domain.
    Thanks for reading and if you have any other suggestions...I'd appreciate it.
    Nyobi

    This is not exactly FIM related question - there is ADFS forum available on Technet. However - technically there is no limit of ADFS farms in a forest \ domain. It is just a service which uses AD and is not altering it in any way or storing some forest-wide
    information like Exchange. So you can setup two ADFS services in single forest - no problem. 
    If it is a best solution to your problem? I can't say with that limited information but maybe just customization of pages on ADFS side would be enough?

    How many itunes libraries can you sync to apple tv?
    I read through the manual and it didn't mention anything about multiple libraries.
    All I found was about streaming more than one computer.
    Isn't this supposed to be a product that's multi-user orientated?

    AC is correct, but remember the 5 streams does include the synced library (in case you don't want to move all your content over to your AppleTV box)

    Here's the official page on connection options (you can connect one computer to a display).

    I've read elsewhere that you can connect two computers to the Thunderbolt Display, but you can't switch between them per se.  You can only power up one at a time.  Anyone, feel free to correct me on this, but my understanding is this is not an officially supported configuration.
