I have a new Airport Express with 802.11n as my main router and an older 802.11a/g Airport Express as my bridge. None of my MacBook laptops have 802.11n (about 2 yrs old).
When I was in range, speed was great. In my new home, range was a bit limited so I bought a new Express (was using the older Express as my primary) to use as my primary router so I could use the older one as the bridge. No problem setting everything up. Signal is now better and exists in places is didn't before. Problem is that throughout my home network speeds are drastically slower, even in places where everything was fine before I bridged the network. Where it used to take less than a second to load a page like ESPN, it now takes 10 seconds or so.
Is this normal for a bridged network? If not, what have I done wrong and what can I do to fix the problem? Thanks for the help!
