Orbi and Airport Extreme
We had previously bought an Apple Airport Extreme to boost the very poor signal in our 2100sq ft village house. I had been told it would be powerful enough but wasn't, so we then bought the Orbi rout...
Both Apple Orbi can be placed into AP (Acess Point) mode.. Orbi has an AP mode setting. Apple may require additional configuring, disbaling DHCP etc. In respect to which one I would use as a base router vs. AP, I'm not in a position to comment on the total configuration, as I do not use either platforms. Best to use `configure and test` for optimum hardware setup, for your environment. I`m sure others will chime in..
Thank you for your reply. I'm not sure I want to risk configuring, disabling etc unless I am very clear what I am doing, dont want to mess things up. I'll look at what is involved in doing a 'configure and test' and see if I can work that out.
