Just a suggestion though, nothing in the article is inaccurate. The article doesn't really explain why you might want to use client mode (other than use as a WiFi adapter for some equipment) which could lead someone to think this is necessary for AirPlay 2 targets. AirPort Extreme (fifth generation) AirPort Express (the last model that plugs directly into the wall) My modem is plugged directly into the wall via a DSL cable, and then my router is connected to the modem via an Ethernet cord.
