However, your comment on no Ethernet port at your apartment. In order to use either base station as your primary router, it needs to be connected to a modem that supplies an Ethernet port.

Jul 21, 2016 10:27 AM in response to Tesseraxby Nicklogan911,Thanks for the quick reply! I should have mentioned that my landlord would allow me to connect either Airport to his router to crate the base station, but his router is not in my apartment. Is there a particular reason the Extreme is better as the Primary Base Station? I.E. It is stronger for wireless connectivity.
