[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1129496, member: 145676"] I don't have a D-Link - I have a netgear but the setup is similar to Bob's. I have a TC because I wanted NAS and I ended up using it as my wireless network as well. I have several airport expresses sprinkled around the house for airtunes/airfoil use as well as increasing coverage. (I really didn't need the coverage as the TC covered the house fairly well, it was just an added bonus.) So I am agreeing with everyone else in this thread - The TC is nice and works well with the Expresses, and for a NAS/Gigabit switch/USB to ethernet converter it is pretty well priced. That being said I have the Netgear because of SPI and Dynamic DNS. I believe the dual band works as Nick states - that is I have a network myhomenetwork and if I am near the TC the 802.11n devices connect at 5GHz. I can see this with istumblr as well as on Airport Utility. The fast Airports connect to a channel in the 5GHz range and at a higher rate. You can actually force the 5GHz to it's own SSID so you know for a fact you are connecting to it. Anyway I wouldn't run an AE or TC standalone because I want SPI and Dynamic DNS. Actually - I digress - I wouldn't run an AE or TC standalone - but I have recommended it to friends for simplicity's sake. I have one friend running an AE with a USB disk for backup and it is working great. Haven't had any DOS attacks that I know of either. [/QUOTE]
