Q: Airplay drop out with airport express and time capsule
Hello together.
I've a annoying problem with my airport express. I use it by playing my music from iTunes via Airplay in my living room. My wifi-router is a time capsule (2011) connected to a standard cisco router.
The problem is the drop outs when playing music. Especially when a few people are hanging around in my living room, the music immediately stops.
A few weeks ago I bought a second Airport Express hoping to solve the problem, but nothing was solved. Does anyone know whats to do?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

In addition to Mike's Pad's comments, I would suggest that if running an Ethernet cable between the base station is not practical or desirable that you consider using power line adapters instead. These adapters can create a pseudo Ethernet connection using your home's electrical circuit. You would need at least two of these, with one being place near the TC and the other near the Express.
You can then actually reconfigure the Express to extend the TC's wireless range by configuring both of the into a roaming network. This will still allow the Express to be used for streaming.
