[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1704582, member: 234411"] Hello again - well this topic has been covered in many threads in this forum, so a little searching might have helped - just saying; also, there are plenty of Apple Support Articles that discuss this topic - for one check [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202056"]HERE[/URL], or google 'Apple AirPort Express bridge mode'. For your relatively small condo (believe just over 1000 sq ft - my house is 2400 sq ft and is serve well w/ just an AP Extreme router), one router should be adequate. But if indeed a single router does not completely create a satisfactory Wi-Fi network, then some type of 'extension' may be needed - this can be done wirelessly, wired (via ethernet), or even using your [URL="http://computer.howstuffworks.com/power-network.htm"]power lines[/URL]. But one of way to extend your network is to use another router, such as an AP Express, which is setup in 'bridge mode' using the same SSID which will permit roaming the area - your Wi-Fi may change which router is connected but w/o your input at all; the 'bridge mode' basically turns off that device's control of the network using such protocols as DHCP & NAT; note that the AP Express will use the 'n' protocol - if you REALLY want to learn about this 'stuff' then I would suggest the book below - covers recent 802.11 protocols, emphasizes Apple networks, and is a cheap Kindle DL (it's on my iPad).
