Strange Wi-Fi doings - 01/19/18 09:45 PM
I've got a Verizon Fios router and an AirPort Express (1st generation "n") Base Station.
The router is cabled to the Base Station, which, in addition to Internet, I use for AirPlay.
If I join the router's 5G (802.11ac) network, pages load quickly, and AirPlay works as expected.
If, however, I join the Base Station's 5G (802.11n) network, pages load slowly, and AirPlay constantly drops out.
I guess the difference in page loading times is related to the "ac" v "n" thing, but I don't understand why AirPlay, which works independently of Internet and, therefore, should be unrelated to which device I'm using for Internet, is affected.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
