[QUOTE="FritzDaCat, post: 1698867, member: 221274"] From a Macworld article: "The Time Capsule and Extreme each have a built-in three-port gigabit ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) switch, while the Express continues to use 10/100 Mbps ethernet on both its WAN and LAN ports." Also... "Only two particular situations require an Extreme or Time Capsule because of the ethernet limitation: if you have a broadband connection of faster than 100 Mbps, which is uncommon, but becoming more widely available; or you are determined to have the maximum possible throughput between ethernet and Wi-Fi devices on the same network." This article is from 2012 but I believe it still pertains to the Airport Express. Apple specs page for Airport Express confirms this: 10/100BASE-T Ethernet WAN port for connecting a DSL modem, cable modem, or Ethernet network 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN port for connecting a computer, Ethernet hub, or networked printer I'm pretty sure the Airport Express is the bottleneck but I'm going to continue to investigate.
