Airport express and airplay 2

Hi

I have extended my wireless network via an express, and have another connected to a speaker. I’ve just bought another to connect to a stereo.

When I scan Wi-Fi via the utility app, there are 6 signals floating around - with another express it will be 8.


3 questions....


1.will all these WiFi signals interfere with each other or cause devices to struggle to remain connected consistently?


2 If I had the 2 streaming expresses set to ‘join a wireless network’ ( not extend) will I still be able to choose to airplay to one or both of them.


3 can I stream to both expresses independently eg laptop iTunes to one, amazon music to another?


Any comments welcome

thanks

Possibly, but no way to know for sure until you try things out at your location


2 If I had the 2 streaming expresses set to ‘join a wireless network’ ( not extend) will I still be able to choose to airplay to one or both of them.


Yes, if you have the 2nd Generation versions of the AirPort Express.......the versions with 2 Ethernet ports


3 can I stream to both expresses independently eg laptop iTunes to one, amazon music to another?


No
