How to set-up a DUAL BAND wireless network.
* Xbox360 compatibility.
* Airtunes issues
* 802.11n slowed down by 802.11g devices
One workaround is to set-up a dual-band network. Your old 802.11g base station looks after the older "g" devices. And the new Airport Extreme looks after the 802.11n devices.
There are a number of benefits to this solution.
* Everything that did work, carries on working. No reconfiguring needed.
* Everything works at its fastest possible speed. You can use the full 270Mb 5Ghz band for n devices.
* 802.11g traffic does not interfere with 802.11n traffic at all.
* It's easy to set up.
The downside is
* There are two boxes. I want one.
This is the diagram (again)
Note that in this configuration, the new Airport Extreme base station is set-up in Bridging Mode.
