it'll work fine.

it's only a floor away, should work fine.

I second that.

But if it for some freakish reason it doesnt you can get one of these.

P.S. When you run the Airport Admin Utility that comes installed for your Airport Extreme Base Station, there is an option in it to adjust the antenna transmitting power. So you can tweak it up slightly if you have trouble. But one floor shouldn't be a problem at all....In fact I'm one floor above my router at the moment. At home, my apartment is so small that you can never get too far away from the AEBS but I have the power turned waaay down and I can still use it everywhere in the apartment. So you should be fine.

God, i have no idea what your asking. I've read it twice and it's so confusing. Can you re-explain.

And benjamindaines, I don't think that will work if I understand some what correctly.

 

[FocusAndEarnIt]

nevermind, I didn't understand because you added so much information like 2-3 times. I understand now. Yeah, you won't have any problems.
