I recently replaced my 17" G4 PowerBook with a 17" MacBook Pro with Core 2 Duo. At the same time, I replaced my dome shaped 802.11g Airport Extreme with the new 802.11n Airport Extreme.
I'm yet to experience any noticeable difference in speed or range, but I'm wondering if this may be due to the fact that I also have an Airport Express operating on the same wireless network? Would my MacBook Pro be accessing the 802.11n speed of the Airport Extreme, or would the inclusion of the 802.11g Airport Express on the network mean that the network slows to 802.11g speeds? If so, is there any way to easily disable the Airport Express whilst I'm not using it, but easily turn it on if I want to use it for its primary purpose? (which is streaming music to my hifi speakers). The reasons I thought it best to have the Airport Express on the same network as the Airport Extreme include being able to access the internet and stream music to my hifi speakers simultaneously, and also I thought that the Airport Express would boost the range of the network (the Extreme is downstairs in a room that isn't used much; and the Express is in the commonly used lounge room upstairs, plugged into the hifi).
