I need MAXIMUM Speed in HT for Internet to Mac Mini video streaming. Do I extend the same network ( Somehow ) or create 2 different Wireless networks (Since they can't see each other any way) 1 in West basement next to Modem, other in HT on East side.ĥ. I still need a wireless signal from each AirportĤ. I Need a 8 port in the West SIde near Cable modem and maybe a 5 port on the East side neat HT.ģ. I realize that Airport is a router, but not enough ports available. I need to add more WIRED lines to this system using either a Switch, Hub or Router. I also created a wireless network on the HT Airport Extreme to provide wireless connection to East side of house. Speed is slightly less than maximum and seems to somewhat sporadic going up and down quite a bit on. Then from that to Mac Mini (HDMI) for HT. I also came out the back with CAT6 to HT, where it connects to Airport Extreme base station on East side in HT. That provides wireless internet to WEST side of house ( Network 1). I have connected Cable modem to Dual Band Airport Extreme in WEST basement. I have run several ethernet Cat6 cables around the house during remodeling and have access to 2 lines from Cable modem access point to HT. However, the Home Theater (HT) in the far EAST Basement could not see the network, or when it did, the signal was weak and unuseable.

I had a WDS network setup and working well through out the house. It is located on the far EAST side of the house, probably 100' (wired distance, 60 ' wireless distance) from my cable modem in the basement on the West side of the house. My winter Home Theater project is finally done (June). I currently have Cable modem entering the house on the west side and own 2 apple airport base stations ( 1 dual band extreme, the other just extreme) Here is my dilema. Wireless connections work relatively well vertically, but not horizontally. My house is old and built mainly of brick and stone. I have searched the web for answers, but non are Apple specific and most information is very confusing.
