Review on Apple Airport 🍎 Express Base Station (Refurbished) by Keith Bradley

Bought this refurbished Airport Express to extend my garage wifi network. Although this technology is about ten years old, it meets my needs, my service is 400/20 and my main base station at the airport (Time Machine) is more than adequate. I ran a cable from the garage through the attic to the base station, turned on the power. , and configured via Airport Utility, done! I now have reliable WiFi when I work out and Tesla can download its updates quickly. Two Pro Tips: If you are purchasing this Express to increase your network range, please consider selecting the "Create a new network" option during setup. Airport Utility recommends that you select "Extend the network (recommended)" by default, but this is typically not optimal and can actually slow down your Wi-Fi network due to the increased headroom. But when you select 'Create New Network' you are actually creating a new hotspot in that area of the house, but are actually in bridge mode, transferring data to/from the base station over ethernet. Tip #2: Look at the plastic. Mounting brackets are available for the Express, allowing you to mount this unit high on the wall for better Wi-Fi coverage. Hooray!
