[QUOTE="Calistoga, post: 1020873, member: 69537"] I have a first generation Time Capsule (500 GB HD) for my network. All devices on my network are working without issue. However, my Intel iMac which is hardwired has a Transmit Rate of five (not good). Now I am deciding between getting either the Apple Airport Express or the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. I do stream video from Time Capsule to my TV in the living room. This is a distance of about 60 feet. My home is on one floor and it is about 1600 ft.². Time Capsule so the TV is almost line of sight. The Intel iMac is not line of sight from Time Capsule. There is a kitchen with a sliding wood door which is sometimes closed. The hallway from my bedroom to the living room is usually unobstructed, but sometimes I have to close the hallway door. I am leaning towards getting the Apple Airport Express, but the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station has some unique features, i.e. guests network. Chime in with suggestions if you have any. Thanks.
