Is it worthwhile to buy the airport extreme for non intel

I currently am using an airport express for my home network and want to use it on my home stereo(upstairs) so we can play music from itunes. So I need to buy another airport for downstairs. Will I get any benefit from the extreme or should I just get another express?

idadof3, Welcome to the discussion area!
I think iFelix provided a very good answer in your other thread "Is it worthwhile to buy the airport extreme for non intel".

  • I would like to buy the AirPort Extreme and I wanted to purchase a repeater or extender with that, what would that product be?

    I would like to buy the AirPort Extreme and I wanted to purchase a repeater or extender with that, what would that product be?

    The extender would be either another AirPort Extreme....if you want to match the performance of the "main" AirPort Extreme.....or....an AirPort Express.....which would not match the performance of the "main" AirPort Extreme.....but it would provide more wireless signal coverage.
    Whether you choose the AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express to extend the signal, try to plan to connect the extender back to the "main" AirPort Extreme using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    If you must connect the main and extending devices using wireless only, then there will be a significant performance drop on the entire network due to to the limitations of extending a network wirelessly. Unfortunately, you lose about half of the potential speed on the network when you do this.

  • How to setup the Airport Extreme for PSP?

    Can anyone tell me how to setup the Airport Extreme for PSP? I have been searching the Discussions but none of the posting seems to explain detail enough. A step by step guide would be very appreciated. Thanks.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Sorry, I forgot to mention a few points:
    1) I don't have the Airport Extreme base station;
    2) My PowerBook is connect to the internet thru wired connection with the Built-in Ethernet;
    3) The Airport is turned on, but my PSP's scan cannot locate the PowerBook at all (while it find someone else's network)
    So, I wonder if I can just connect my PSP to the built-in Airport in the PowerBook directly. So that I can have internet access on my PSP.

  • Where can I buy the airport card for the G3 ibook?

    Hi
    I recently purchased an old ibook G3 and am wanting to use it wirelessly. I can't seem to locate the airport card that is needed to make it work. Can i buy it from the mac store online? Also, i have the airport extreme at home...will it work on that network with the airport card?? Cheers

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    No, the original AirPort card the iBook needs is no longer available from Apple.
    I just checked these links for the original AirPort card today (ranked in order of price, lowest to highest, shipping not figured):

    Yes, it will work with your AirPort Extreme Base Station.
    Good luck with the iBook.

  • What is the best dsl modem to use with the Airport Extreme for AT

    I'm looking for the best dsl modem to use with AT&T service. I'm not really interested in their equipment. I have the newest model of the AE.
    Thanks

    I'm looking for the best dsl modem to use with AT&T service
    I have no idea if the Motorola 2210 is the "best" device to use, but it has been flawless in 5+ years of operation.
    I believe that there is a new version of the is product, now called the 3360. I normally switch modems after about 5 years of use and will use the 3360 in the near future.
    This support article from AT&T provides some valuable information about how to configure a router using a modem:

    thanks in advance

    how can i configiure the airport to function as a wireless bridge?
    Sorry, but it is not possible to configure the AirPort Extreme for this type of setup. You will need to connect the AirPort Extreme to the Thomson router using an Ethernet connection.
    does anyone know where to find the admin password of the Thomson?
    Google turned this up in 5 seconds. There may be others if you look.

  • Setting up the AirPort Extreme on a Windows Vista (HP)...?

    Hello,
    I have an HP Pavilion desktop (Windows Vista) computer and am [attempting] to use/connect the AirPort Extreme for WiFi. I can't find the original soft/firmware that came with the AirPort, is there any way I can download the software from the Apple site that will be compatible with my desktop? The Airport is connected to my internet connection (I have Cox Cable and use an internet modem: SB5100 SURFboard Cable Modem) and the amber light constantly flashes. Any help is deeply appreciated. Thank you.

  • Using an aiport express + airport extreme for printing.

    I have an airport extreme to which I connect a lexmark color laser printer. Everything works well. I just moved and am now using DSL. There is no phone jack in the room where I want to put my printer. Can I use the airport extreme for my wireless internet through my dsl phone line and then use an airport express to hook up my printer and print wirelessly? Can I use a second airport express for a second printer which will go in yet a different place?

    Another option would be to setup the Express units as clients on your Airport network especially if you don't need to extend your network.
    You will still be able to print, but avoid the bandwidth hit that using WDS (extending the network) has.

  • Hi, I'm thinking of buying the Airport Express or Extreme for my school dormitory, would i need to plug them into the already existing school internet via LAN cable or do the products just work by themselves?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    AirPort stations aren't modems, so they have to be connected to the modem you are already using. The AirPort Extreme and Express have a WAN port, where you have to plug an Ethernet cable that has to be connected to the modem.
    After doing this, you can set up the AirPort station by using AirPort Utility. If you have Windows, download AirPort Utility from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547

    eBay Search
    Hong Kong seems to have some of the best buys, with shipping for as little as $2.
    US sellers abound, with numerous European sellers as well.
    There's a Canadian seller who thinks that his cards are worth more than when new.......

  • Where can i buy an airport extreme card for my powerbook

    Where can I buy an airPort extreme caed for my powerbook? are they even available, if not how can I go wireless ?

    eBay is a good source, though as ever, buy wisely and make sure you get the right card for your specific model.
    Alternatively there are wireless cards available that go in the card slot. Again eBay is full of them but be sure they're OSX compatible -  its a good idea to put this phrase in your search terms.
    I can vouch that this one works as I'm using it now:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAGEM-PCMCIA-AIRPORT-54MBPS-WIRELESS-WIFI-CARD-MAC-OS-X-/4 00124141388?pt=UK_Computing_Apple_Mac_Accessories&hash=item5d2941df4c#ht_3229wt_ 886
    It just plugged straight in and was recognised as an Airport Card. This is from the UK site but I'm sure you can find the same thing wherever you live, or at that price just have it shipped.
