Apple Extreme to Apple Express to gigabyte Switch: I know that this is possible but is it possible to connect a gigabyte switch to the Apple Express so that I can connect more than one device to my Wireless N network?

Yes, you can do exactly what you're asking. You have to go to the settings of the AE and choose the option "Join a wireless network". Select your wireless network from the dropdown list of the networks your device sees, put in the WEP/WPA password for that network if you have one, and make sure you check the box that says "Allow Ethernet clients to connect". You're all done at that point. I use an Airport Express in this configuration as a wireless adapter for all of the components in my media center. I have one AE connected to the wireless network and have the ethernet cable going into a switch that then feeds my XBOX360, PS3, Wii, TiVo, and Apple TV.

I think you'll get faster transfers with Gigabit ethernet switch; depending on the write/read speeds, I get even more than 100MB/s via ethernet connection.Also I'm not sure whether one can connect two Macs for file transfer via TB/firewire; I've only tried connecting Macs in this manner for target disk mode and for that it works well.

Yes, on my Mac Pro tower, I've successfully used bus powered CF & SD card readers and portable hard drives and thumb drives. Only USB 3.0 PCI card for Macs that I know of that does this with no issues.

Alright, I cannot get my iPhone to connect to my amp. I've tried running an ethernet cable from my D-Link wifi router to my amp and connecting to that router with my phone via wifi with security on, security off, MAC on, MAC off, amp connected to my gigabit switch, everything! I'm able to connect to it via my MacBook Pro to adjust the Net Radio channels and play Net Radio, but every time I run the iControl app I get, Network Error Please check your product Connection Status AVR : ERROR BDP: --- (Error Code : B27102)There is nothing on the Pioneer website or the app store to address my problem, or anywhere else on the net.

I have an apple airport extreme router and it did not work at first. I changed the router settings from "Bridge mode" to "Share an IP address" and it worked fine

I think that version comes with a wifi card but this one doesnt. I had to buy my own. Gigabyte makes one and i dont think it was that expensive, but if you use a wired connection don't worry about it.

The Apple Airport Express A1264 54 Mbps Wireless N Router (MB321LL/A) is the one you'll need. I found two of them on eBay back in April but they're getting tougher to find, at least new.

It should. I use my refurbished Apple AirPort with a Mac Mini that's probably 6-7 years old, and it's fine. My Apple AirPort Extreme is the primary router for a very large house right now, with a Mac Mini, two MacBook Pros, and two iPhones. I bought my AirPort Extreme several years ago now, and it was refurbished when I bought it. Will replace with another refurbished AirPort Extreme, when I feel a need to replace it. Hope that helps.

You can use firewire or USB. In reality, I no longer use the FW connection with my MacBook Pro. I use one of it's USB ports.

No. You'll need to add to the pci express slot. Still a great motherboard. Ive nerve had such a great experience with a motherboard til now. Im going to be using Gigabyte more often now.

I don't think so. GBIC normally is used to uplink for another switch. Maybe you will need a 48-port switch.

I picked up one of these for $5 from the egg-heads to try to use as a wireless bridge. From what I can tell, it has a proprietary repeater mode that only works if you have multiple N150 routers. I do not see a way to use this as a bridge to another type of router.

Yes. "N" adapters are almost always downward compatible with a, b & g signals. You shouldn't have any problem. And, when you eventually upgrade to an "N" or even "AC" (pending new standard) wireless router, it will send/receive at much faster bit rates.

No, I believe that is an option you can add on but it does not come with a dedicated port to stack the switch. Of course you can still just connect it to other switches using the regular switch ports for a 1GB connection but if you are looking to manage a stacked switch using a dedicated IP then you would need to look for the optional card. I have 3 connected this way and with the 1GB connection I really don't think its a problem unless you need the throughput for a lot of bandwidth.

In theory, yes...but I gave up using this router, my iPad and phone did get anywhere near the speed that my hard wired iMac did. D-Link has horrible support. Terrible support, no support.

Yes it is. Just look at the tech specs this router operates on 802.11n whereas Apple products like Macbook are 802.11a/b/g/n compatible. So you should have no issues. I connect my iPhone 5 to this and get the full speed provided by my cable company. So you can connect iPad and iPod as well.

Yes. I have a MacBook Pro and no issues. It receives N wireless which is faster
