New Around Here
I've been lurking around the forums for about a month, but finally decided to join.
I have a home office that requires a wired ethernet connection for one computer. I have two media centers...one of which has a device that needs a wired ethernet connection. I routinely use Airplay for both music and video on Apple TV at both media centers. Both of my laptops use time machine as backup, and I'd like to do this wirelessly. I'd like to have my main itunes served (both music and video) from either my laptop or a usb drive plugged into the main router (not the bridge).
After about 20 hours of reading reviews and this forum, I decided to purchase two R7000s last night so I could build an AC media bridge to the main media center (with the wired ethernet connection). Now I'm reading this morning that R7000 is incompatible with Airplay, especially when the AppleTV is behind a bridge. I debated the AC68, but went with the R7000 because of Time Machine support.
Is this Airplay problem something that can be cured by third party firmware? Or should I take the R7000s back and purchase different equipment. Nothing has been opened yet so returns are not an issue.
