Help please ...
Having bought an Aiport Extreme from these ere parts a few weeks ago, I just got around to trying to install it. How difficult can it be I thought?
First off, all was working well as it was set up before, just wanted a bit better wifi coverage and the idea of attaching a hard drive for back up appealed too.
I have BT Openreach connected to broadband by a network cable and a Plusnet "box" sitting on top of that, each connected to the other by an ethernet cable. Connection to a network is possible, though not the one I had specifically set up before, now it's the Plusnet generated one.
Previously, I had a couple of the boosters that plug in to the mains connected to the Plusnet box, but want to get rid of these.
I also have an Apple Airport Express installed 3 floors below where the Openreach, Plusnet and Extreme are located. This is/was plugged in to the plug-in secondary wifi booster thingy.
Question: where do I plug the Airport Extreme in to? I tried various configs but it continuously shows the yellow flashing light (though momentarily it does show Green when putting the power cable in)?
Also, where do I now use the Airport Express, or is this redundant?
Any ideas please?
