  • Nah not Apple specific, just trying to find a way to create an elegant, streamlined, solid high performance network within a house/flat and having all these (Apple or non Apple) fancy wireless routers and Edgerouters being reliant on the cheap plastic crap an ISP provides doesn't strike me as a wise solution? I'm pretty confident decent Wifi can be supplied through the Airports but what I was looking for was the best (and most minimal) way to get the Internets through the internets pipes to them.

  • The modem is a real bottleneck. I went from 13ish to 78 just by moving off the modem supplied by the ISP. I also didnt want to have 2 boxes... So ridiculous.

    Ive now used the old router to make an access point which is physically connected to the new router modem which will be placed upstairs covering both floors. Im using this method as i have a spare router or 2 lying around free.

    As mentioned, you can actually use the wires in the house as access points as well using powerline adaptors. Which i think is quite cool! best in 2017?

  • I have a feeling my house wires are far too messy to use them but might give it a bash...

    SO what modem are you using? I want a modem that's nothing more. I plug my phone line into it (or fibre or whatever it is) and then use ethernet to connect to my AirPort Extreme which makes the wifi...
