[QUOTE="blip, post: 1611908, member: 92486"] Don't necessarily want a new router (although I certainly wouldn't be upset if I had to get one), just thought that the network might be stronger if I had an AE or other newer router providing the signal and one or more AX extending. I can't move the AX I have, since it's next to my sound system and I use if for AirPlay. Would a newer router--be it an AE, a current version AX, or a non-Mac router--provide noticeably better signal strength and speeds? Is an older version AX outdated in any way? If not, then I will just work on extending. Also, does the signal get weaker each time you place an extender? Or can it boost it back to full strength (I'm sure that is not the correct terminology at all, but you know what I mean). [/QUOTE]
