If you have more then one access point in a house, a really nice feature
to=
have is roaming - so you can move about the house and devices automaticall=
y/ quickly move from one AP to another without dropping network
connections=
. This is a very common feature on 'enterprise' networks but less common
in=
homes. If you setup Apple APs with a network with the same name and securi=
ty setting, you can seamlessly move between them. I believe that the APs
ta=
lk to each other over the wired network to achieve this. I haven't had
much=
success with other brands of network hardware - such as Netgear.
Another thing I am a fan of (although not very compatible with Apple
Airpor=
t Express) to, as you have lots of Cat 5, is Power over Ethernet, so you
do=
n't need a mains socket in the remote locations of the APs.

<div><br></div>Hi
Tracey, <br><br>If she is doing some work that assumedly means
using a laptop
and I think you will struggle to find a laptop without an Ethernet port
these
days? Does she only use wireless as she can't use it
wired at
home? Can she not use it in wired mode when
visting?<br><br>Cheers<br>Allan
