One provides better range, and performance while the other gives you the audio out feature. I mean, my guess is, you have two wireless signals at any given point - one from the Airport Extreme & one for the Airport Express. Or, is the setup different? Isn't there a clash between the 2 signals?

Ignroe the fact that it might be a little annoying to switch back & forth, you'd want internet availability on both the signals, and that would be achieved by connecting the Airport Express via ethernet to the Airport Extreme. Sorry to hijack the thread but I'm curious about your setup because I'm trying to make a wireless audio solution for myself at home as well, and ended up on this thread trying to see if the Airport Extreme could do the same audio out that the Airport Express can, turns out it can't!Īnyway, have you connected the Airport Express via ethernet to the Airport Extreme? Or, both being by Apple, is there some 'seamless way' that the Airport Express can wirelessly connect to the Airport Extreme to provide internet over the Airport Express signal as well?
