Will FCP X see any hard drive over the Wi-Fi network that is attatched to the new Airport Ex?

Answer
Here is what I did to integrate my several drives of media to an Apple TV and my home entertainment center: 1) attach all drives to a dedicated mac. 2) use Plex server on the mac to connect to Apple TV. 3) Use the Plex app (on ATV4) or Plex hack (on ATV3) to serve all content to the ATV, from the mac. Works great!

AnswerProbably not that far. Do you have power out that far? If so, then you might want to use a pair of power line adapters to bridge the distance and get a couple of airport expresses

Is an ios device enough to configure this or do I also need a Mac?
I have an iphone 5, ipad 3, and an ipod touch. Are any of these enough to do the initial setup and configuration of the Airport or do I need a Mac?

Best Answer:You can set up Airport routers with any (at least iOS6) devices, and you don't even need the airport app for the initial setup. With the airport app you can manage all your airport devices just as well as you can on a Mac.

Best Answer:Use the AirPort Utility to set up the router. It will ask you if you want to configure it as an extension to an existing network. It will then configure it as such (a bridge).
