Only 300 Mb/s, eh?  You lucky sod.  I can about get 68 down, 18 up.  I’m not 
unhappy with that, particularly given that I have such a wonderful ISP, but my 
wouldn’t I give for a proper FTTP rollout.  Perhaps if our neoliberal 
government spent less time navel-gazing about the UK’s laughable position in 
the digital economy and completely unachievable milestones and more building 
high-quality public infrastructure, 300 Mb/s would be entirely achievable.  
Perhaps g.fast?  Anyway, AirPort Express would be fine for such a connection, 
if not for the lack of AC and the generally much slower performance.

Yeah, you can use AirPort as a bridge, if you want.  I do this.  Recommended 
for PPPoE users with baby jumbo support, i.e. most UK ISPs.  With a product 
like the Draytek v130, it’s no longer an absolute necessity to use a (V)DSL 
modem where the modem is also the router.  Hence, I’ve got three devices in my 
setup: the Draytek v130, a Mac Mini as my router (running Linux), and the Time 
Capsule providing the Wi-Fi.  People who are less insane than myself may wish 
to explore other scenarios, but be aware that native IPv6 does not work with 
current AirPort firmware and PPPoE.
