Hey, hoping I can get some networking help...
I had Sky Fibre a while back (in the days where you needed an OR modem) and have just gone back to Sky recently to find out that they're no longer needed.
I did want to keep using my Apple Airport Extreme though so I bought an OR modem off eBay and extracted my password etc and set up.
All was OK but the connection kept dropping and I couldn't access the net. So I've bit the bullet and kept the Sky Hub as the connector but plugged the Airport into it so I have decent WiFi.
However I also have an Airport Express upstairs connected via Powerline, but whenever I plug it in and switch it on I lose connection to both the Extreme and the internet.
It's as if the Express turns something off/overrides something.
Here's a quick diagram
ROOM 1
Sky Hub > Airport Extreme, Sky+ box
Airport Ex > Powerline adapter, Smart TV
ROOM 2
Powerline > Mac
ROOM 3
Powerline > Airport Express
Anything glaringly obvious I've done? Any 'best practice' with all this?
Any help/assistance would be greatly appreciated.
