Product Description
Now with blazing 802.11n, the affordable AirPort Express is powerful enough to run a home Wi-Fi network, yet small enough to take on the road. Share your wireless network with up to 10 users, print documents, photos, and more from any room in the house to one central printer, play iTunes music through your stereo or powered speakers using AirTunes, and more.

 High potential - Apple crippled it though August 31, 2010
Oliver Jaeckel-bender (Pfalz)
Cool start - some issues at the end.
Why apple prevents other applications from streaming the audio to the airtunes module is probably a dictatorship topic once more. Oh well. I heard the boxes break after two years but cannot tell yet. Is it capacitors on the power supply side? Anyway: Multi-Room speaker setup is great and easy. Why only iTunes can use it - NO IDEA!
 Airport Express Doesn't Work At 10 Feet August 29, 2010
JavaPro (United States)
My Mac laptop is ten feet away from the Airport Express receiver which is attached to my stereo. When I play a song on iTunes, each and every minute the Airport Express will lose the signal for ten to fifteen seconds. I have line of sight between the laptop and the Airport Express and little chance of interference. Its not exactly the experience I was hoping for.
Works well August 26, 2010
R. Madden (Cedar Rapids, IA USA)
Had a few annoying hiccups on initial set-up; I bought this to extend my network (using an Airport base station). A few more explicit explanations w/ the software would help. But once it was connected, I hooked up my TV and use the wireless for my PS3 downstairs; the base station is upstairs. Probably cheaper alternatives, but I'm a long-time Mac user (since 1984...), so prefer to go that route, if possible.
 Amazing! Hours of frustration saved!! August 25, 2010
Hankk (Boulder, CO)
I move every few years, and for the last three moves I've tried to set up my wireless network using Linksys and other routers with the new ISP when I move in. I don't know what it is with networking, but it has been consistently a frustrating and awful experience to just get even the most basic Wifi setup working. I'm plenty adept technically -- been using Unix/Linux for 20+ years and program for a living.
Last night I spent two hours trying to get my Linksys WRT54G router working. Just trying to set up a simple new network... no password, nothing fancy, just enough to login from my laptop. Total failure. I don't know what of the hundreds of settings was incorrect, but something was off. I reset all the defaults, read plenty of walkthrus, no success. I installed the open-source DD-WRT firmware and that ended up no better.
I gave up, spent a few bucks on this brilliant Apple Airport Express, plugged it in, and literally within 120 seconds of opening the box, I was done. It was SIMPLE SIMPLE SIMPLE! And it worked! I should have done this years ago!
I'm mostly going to use this as a regular Wifi router. It does more things, like running a printer remotely too, though I don't need that now. Streaming music throughout the house -- I set that up (two minutes), and it worked perfectly.
It's BRILLIANT and it WORKS. Just buy it!!
Worked just like I wanted! August 24, 2010

Read a lot of the customer reviews on the product which kinda made me nervous especially running a FIOS supplied router. Did my setup with an ethernet cable directly to the router. Had to change my FIOS's default security method from WEP (64 bit) to WPAZ & that was it. Plugged in the Express behind my amp & connected them with the an optical cable & everything fired right up! I use the Express primarily for iTunes Radio. Just love Kenny Chesney's No Shoes Radio under the Raggae/Island stream.
