Airport Express - WiFi vs Airplay
I'm confused and hoping someone can advise.
I've just bought an Apple TV4k but the wifi signal is weak at the TV's location so I'm thinking of putting an Airport Express near the TV to boost the signal for the TV.
However, there's already an Airport Express in the TV / audio cabinet to feed Airplay into the hifi system.
Keeping in mind that its best to keep wifi as simple as possible for best results, my question is whether an Airport Express used to feed Airplay via 3.5mm jack into the hifi is also functioning as a wifi extender at the same time or does it lose that functionality when in that mode?
If "yes" to Q1 I'd be wasting money getting another Airport Express for the TV4K, but if "yes" to Q2 it would seem beneficial to get the second Airport Express, providing the two wouldn't somehow be in conflict?
