Apple Airport Audio question.


Recommended Posts

I currently have an Apple airport that's wired hooked up to my router in my computer room so that whatever I listen to on my computer via Pandora.com can be broadcast to the Apple Airport via a program called AIRFOIL, to the living room. The Apple Airport goes directly to my stereo system, and outputs a wi-fi signal... (anyone with the password can log into my wifi network), however.. the question is:

If I buy another Apple airport, and plug it into the kitchen, will it accept the wi-fi signal that the other airport is putting out, connect to the net, and get the signal that the other ones putting out so all I have to do is plug in more speakers in my kitchen, and get the same signal and hence, getting the music that's playing in the computer room, and living room?

I know this is confusing to read, but I've described my audio situation the best I can.

Yeah, the new airport express can either just join your wireless network (in the same way as other pc's do) or it can be used to repeat your wireless network (increasing its range).

All you would have to do is set it up in either way (it's up to you, first way is easier but the second way has benefits) and then plug speakers into it.

Aww.. Great news.

I'm going to have it extend the network.. but I'm so happy to hear that it'll extend out the signal. You walk into the kitchen and you can barely hear the music in the living room because I keep it at a manageable level that's not too loud. :D

    • Did Labour lose big? They had losses there is no doubt. However let's look at the reality. The conservatives have 168 councils I believe. Labour have 113 and Reform...38. That's a lot of growth for Reform granted. But that is not a wipeout, Reform don't have the majoring in fact at 76 I believe the Liberal Democrats have nearly twice the councils Reform do. So I am thinking there is a lot more noise than signal going on here. Now then let's talk about the law. It's an age restriction. We do it for cigarettes, **** and alcohol. This idea that some kids will find there way around it so it's not worth even trying is really really sad. Hell we can't stop every murder. Should we stop trying there too? That is the logical conclusion.
