My Airport Extreme died & I replaced it with an ASUS router: all good. My apt. building is old & wireless coverage is not great, so the way I had connected to my Roku in the living room from the internet access point in the 2nd bedroom was as follows: Cable modem-->router-->MoCA adapter #1-->coax running under the carpet to living room-->MoCA adapter #2-->Airport Express-->Roku. That all worked without a hitch & also extended my wireless coverage in to the living room.
My question: I thought that after the Airport Extreme was out of the equation, I would have to replace the Airport Express with a simple ethernet switch (to add my Xbox)--but I see the Airport Express is still doing it's job A-OK (see attached screenshot). SHOULD I take it out of the loop and replace it with the ethernet switch? Will keeping it in confuse the ASUS? (I know I'M confused :/) I'm no longer concerned with extending the wireless, but enjoy being able to play iTunes through my stereo with the Airplay.
