[QUOTE="ChrisBishop, post: 1329137, member: 193196"] Hi all, We will be moving into our new house shortly and I am wanting to set up an wireless network which will consist of the follow accessing it. iMac - 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 GB of Ram running on Lion, 320 Gig HD with a 500 Gig partitioned external HD for Time Machine backups and extra storage (iMac will be acting as the Plex Media Server) 2 x 4G iPhones with iOS 5 (with Plex app for TV's below) Xbox 360 Canon Printer and 2 LG smart TV's (Plex app to hopefully stream media from iMac) I do not have a router as yet as the internet company wanted to charge me $69 for one, so I thought I would get one else where cheaper OR use one of the Airport devices instead (pay a bit more). My question is if I wish to set up a wireless network to house the above with one of the main functions to stream from the iMac to the LG TV's, what would be best? Like I said I do not yet have a wireless router so the answers will have to take this into consideration, and I am very keen to set up a media server using PLEX Would an Airport Express to the job as I have less than 10 items to be managed in a 'small area' (the office and lounge room a next to one another). Airport Extreme... just in case I have other people or items to use the network. Or a Time Capsule to utilise the hard disk as the media server and keep the existing external HD for Time Machine Backups. Can this be done, or am I just living in the land on nod? Cheers in advanced. Chris. [/QUOTE]
