Cyknight Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 "Cymon says" to not use use airports at all unless it's as an Airplay device only. But hey to each their own. Understand that I'm primarily stating best practices - it isn't a MAJOR concern to have a router act as a switch, but if you are having problems, it's best to fall back to the basics - if you aren't yet. Yes best practice is to use a router for 1,2 and 4 ONLY - which is basically making it act as a DHCP server and a Gateway only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first to tell me but it is chugging along and I have other fun stuff to deal with before switching out my router and preprogrammed dhcp reservations etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
