Guest Network and Daisy chaining Airport Express
Before I purchase the RBK50 router I wanted to know if a guest user can still be created if you use Airport Express within the configuration?
Also i’d like to hear if anyone has daisy chained ...
Thanks for your response.
I have 3 airport express but now they are not updating any further I’m looking to become more future proof. Also I’m still struggling with dead spots and furthering my range to an outhouse. My plan was to connect internet modem to Orbi then hardwire to the satellite, adding the 3 airport express to the network.... 2 wired and 1 wireless.
How big is your home?
Adding additional devices that can broadcast outside of the Orbi MESH wifi system may cause problems. If you need additional coverage, I would add a Orbi satellite if needed.
My home is 5000sq ft and I have the Orbi router at one end of the house and 40 feet in between, I have 1 Satellite at the opposite end of the house. Complete coverage, range and performance.
Around 6,000 over three floors in places, I could hard wire one satellite but thought adding the airport expresses may help even more. I have a large family with multiple devices plus about to rent out the outbuilding.
