airport extreme utility for mac os sierra 10.12.3

Will I be able to create a roaming network, if both are behind the ISP gateway and connected through the same upstream network switch There is an Apple Support document entitled Wi-Fi base stations, Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations, which discusses using multiple AirPort devices for creating a roaming network.

All of the illustrations have the secondary AirPort directly plugged into the LAN side of the primary one.

It is not clear to me, whether this is because the assumption is that the ISP gateway is the AirPort Extreme device, but that this isnt necessary.

Here is a diagram: Will this work for roaming, or will the AirPort Express have to be downstream from the AirPort Extreme.

All of the illustrations have the secondary AirPort directly plugged into the LAN side of the primary one All of the illustrations in the document assume that you have a simple modem.

Let me suggest that both the Extreme and the Express will behave a lot better if they both have static IP addresses.

You can do it directly on the Airports or you can setup dhcp reservation in dd-wrt.

With the AirPort Express reset to factory settings my AirPort Utility looked like this: I then clicked on Other Wi-Fi Devices (1) in the upper left and selected the AirPort Express like so: A new sheet appeared: A short while later this changed to: I just hit Next.

Other Options would have produced this: But, like I said, thats not what I did.

Next I saw setup progress: When it was done, this was presented: I hit Done.

The point is, however, by choosing this setup method, the AirPort Express gets its settings from the AirPort Extreme automatically.

I dont know, what kind of apportioning of frequency channels takes place, but I assume that it does.

By default, the AirPort devices will scan wireless channels in use in the area and automatically choose the best available channel to use.

If for some reason you do not want this to occur, then you can manually select wireless channels for each AirPort for each 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands using AirPort Utility.

I added the MAC address of my wifes new iPhone 7 to the Timed Access Control list (in the Network tab), which I use to disallow any unknown host onto my network.

After adding the iPhone to the Extreme, it showed up in the Express automatically.
