Hi everyone, I just posted this question in the Apple Forums, but I figured that it might be worth running this question past a (possibly) more hardware-savvy community.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4900923
I'm moving to a new place and mulling over the best way to wire up a home office. I have two airport extremes (5gth gen) and was hoping that I would be able to extend the wireless network from Airport A to Airport B and still maintain gigabit LAN speeds between all devices connected via ethernet to Airport B. Basically, I am trying to avoid snaking Cat6 across my apartment to a gigabit switch in the home office.
Does anyone have experience with a similar setup?
(1) Will I still be able to use the LAN ports on Airport B in this manner?
(2) If so, will I be able to maintain gigabit speeds between the two workstations and the NAS (basically all devices that share ethernet off the Airport B)?
Thanks for any help or advice! (Quick sketch/diagram of setup is attached... and I do realize that this creates a bottleneck on internet speeds.)
