There are a few ways to extend an existing AirPort Extreme-powered network using an AirPort Express ( Figure A). SEE: Hardware purchasing task list (Tech Pro Research) Surfing the internet when I’m farther away from the WAP makes g a good choice, as the 2.4GHz technology is faster than an ISP’s typical internet speed, but if I’m uploading numerous images or files to the cloud and I’m near the WAP, choosing the n network accelerates the transfer. Thus, I use both and select the best network based on my location and the tasks I’m completing at the time. The 2.4GHz “g” networks boast better range, if slower speed, versus the 5GHz “n” networks, which possess shorter ranges of operation but significantly improved throughput. Offering dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi performance, AirPort Express WAPs can transmit at 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies simultaneously. Fortunately, Apple has made it easy to extend a single AirPort Extreme-anchored wireless network using one or more AirPort Express wireless access points (WAPs).
