![]() So then I assumed it must be the cable to the outside room. So I took the Express inside and connected it to another ethernet cable direct from the Extreme and it worked fine. It worked perfectly for months until suddenly it stopped. It is set up to 'create a wireless network' using the same network name, password and security as the Extreme inside. The purpose of the Express is to provide good seamless wi-fi and internet connectivity in the outside room. (I have another Express doing the same job in a different part of the house off the same Extreme) While I'm waiting for any insights you all might have, I'll be researching coax amplifiers.Ĭonnecting Airport Express to internet via Ethernet I have an Airport Express in an outside room - connected via ethernet cable to an Airport Extreme in the main house. Thank you for thinking this through with me. That would give more evidence to the signal strength idea. My other next step could be to switch out the 4-port splitter for a 2-port splitter and see if things improve. If no, then more evidence that I have a signal strength issue. If yes, then I'll assign blame to the AirPorts. My next step is to plug my Mac directly into each MoCA adapter via Ethernet and see if I get to the Internet. Some friends in /r/homenetworking have told me -10db is the bottom edge of acceptable. (does that mean -7db? If so, that puts strength at the ends around -11db to -15db. The other MoCA adapters are on the other side of one more 4 port splitter.
