I have an airport network with an Airport Extreme base station and an Airport Express. Whenever a second airport express is added to the network, streaming from iTunes to the first Airport Express suffers short and irregular interruptions, making the listening to music or podcasts most unpleasant. I have tried restarting all devices several times. Any ideas what may be wrong here?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)
So the audio streaming is interrupted when adding a third AirPort to the mix of an existing AirPort Extreme & AirPort Express base stations? Are all of your AirPorts 802.11n models? How to you have the Extreme and 1st Express configured? That is, is the Express extending the wireless range of the Extreme or just joining its wireless network. How about the additional Express, how is it configured when you "add" it to the other two?
I think I have found that answer to this. In fact my initial analysis was off the mark. The short irregluar interruption in AirTunes would happen irrespective of whether there was a second airport express added to the network or not. However I realized that when my Logitech bluetooth Clear Chat headset is unplugged, AirTunes would work perfectly.
The logitech headset was definitely the reason for these interruptions.
I have different clients, using Bose together with Apple airport express, in order to stream music via the iTunes appliction to their sound system. All these guys have complaints about interrupting music via the Airport, even at small distances of 3 mters, with even very strong Wifi signal. I dont believe all the posts concerning parasites bij other equipments such as magnetrons etc...This Apple equipment is too vulnerable for other frequencies.
On the contrary, all the equipment of SONOS seems to be immune to these parasites, even at the same sites !
Ho do yo you explain this ?
Sonos seems to be more reliable, especially when using wireless music solutions.
Is Apple willing to offre solutions about these issues ?
