Airport Extreme and Express integration.
I have a network setup within my home. It consists of 1 AirPort Extreme and 4 airport express units.
I am currently using all my express units to extend my network throughout my home. My Extreme is centrally located in my home on the first floor in the office. I have an extender upstairs, on the 1st floor in a great room, 1 on the other side of the first floor on the family room and finally 1 in the basement.
My media consumption takes place on the basement and I’m having an issue where my device setup using WiFi is connecting to the extreme rather than hitting the booster that’s right next to it.
My two questions are this,
Can I plug my device via cat5 into my already configured booster to ensure that my PS4 is connected to the booster?
if this can’t be achieved, how can I move my device from using the extreme to using the booster that has a much stronger signal?
I am using Airport utility to monitor all this, and can’t seem to understand why my WiFi enabled device wouldn’t jump to the strongest signal but rather the much weaker signal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
