Thanks, Tim. I'll probably change it this weekend, when I have more time to mess with it if something goes wrong. Cheers, Donna > On Nov 11, 2019, at 6:54 PM, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm not sure if it really matters. It might depend on how modern your ISP > r

Hi, I'm not sure if it really matters. It might depend on how modern your ISP router is. Some claim to be modern state of the art devices, but are no better, or even less modern than the Extreme. I have my ISP in Bridge mode and my Extreme doing the DHCP & NAT routing. Mostly because I don'

Hi! Are there any recommendations on how to configure the airport extreme? Is it better to have the airport in bridge mode and the isp router set to nat or vice versa? /A > 10 nov. 2019 kl. 21:44 skrev Jonathan Cohn : > > If the Bridged mode is what I think it is, it is probably because your ISP

Hi donna, Re the speed I'm not sure of but as for the change from TCp-IP to bridge, That makes no sense to me. TCP is related to where your device gets the IP address for the devices on the network, Bridge is more a device in the middle of the system. -Original Message- From: 'Donna Goo

Thanks Jonathan. I may try moving the Airport down to the first floor. there's really no reason for it to be upstairs, that's just where we put it. Cheers, Donna > On Nov 10, 2019, at 2:44 PM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: > > If the Bridged mode is what I think it is, it is probably because your ISP i

If the Bridged mode is what I think it is, it is probably because your ISP is using NAT and then your AIRPORT Extreme is using NAT. In some circumstances mostly when attempting to use VPN software, this double NATTING can cause problems. If you switch the AIRPORT to Bridged mode, then all of you

Hi, For #1, it all depends on the location of the HomePod with respect to the Extreme. If it's in a different room, separated by a wall then that can affect the signal. Distance away from the Extreme can also affect the level of signal. Your HomePod will be connecting using the 5 GHz channel
