Hello all!
I live in a two-story home that has Ethernet jacks in every main room. All of these jacks are wired to a panel in one of the attic spaces on the second floor. I have a DSL modem (horrible...PLEASE come to our neighborhood, cable companies!), and my wireless router is an AirPort Extreme Base Station. I have a couple Airport Expresses, too, that I would like to use as access points.
My goal is for all of the wired Ethernet wall jacks to have Internet connectivity, and for my three wireless routers, the AEBS and the two Airport Expresses, to be spaced throughout the house for great wireless coverage.
Am I correct in thinking that I should connect the devices (at the upstairs panel) in this order?
DSL modem (in bridge mode) --> AEBS --> Gigabit switch connected to all of the house's Ethernet wall jack cables ---> Airport Expresses downstairs as wireless access points
Thanks for reading! I've built 5 desktop gaming machines over the years but I'm no network expert!
