    Airport Express extends my network

    • Written by from Shefford

    Ordered it on Monday. Arrived on Wednesday. Plugged it in and ran airport utility which extended my network and access to internet in remote part of house is now really fast. Did not even need to read the manual. It just works. But that is what you get with Apple. Things just work.

    Airport Express

    • Written by from London

    A high quality product and easy to set up. I’m very fussy when it comes to sound and the quality, I have a high end amplifiers and speakers around the house, the airport express produces good quality sound for the MP3/digital format. If I am sitting down I might prefer to put on a CD however, now I’m in my 30’s this isn’t such a issue. Combine this with Match etc and you will be is seventh heathen.

    100% APPLE AMAZING!!!

    • Written by from Newhaw

    You couldn't want anything more from your wireless router, the audio jack and usb input on the airport express for wireless audio and printing is just a big bonus to me as the security and internet speeds are superb and equal that to the virgin media fibre optic broadband I receive.

    Very impressive!

    • Written by from london

    After reading all of the positive reviews I was convinced enough to get it and what a good buy it was!! This small box is very neat at what it does, I got this to eliminate all of the uneat wires around the house. Works brilliantly with air play and air print, very easy to set up! The wifi extender works excellently, I was particularly impressed with that feature! And what makes it better is that it work with the bt homehub 3. I would 100% recommend this if you want to go wireless

    Exellent product, highly recommend.

    • Written by from Worcester

    Works a treat, no dropouts after running for over 5 hours continuous! Easy to setup and Remote on iPhone works brilliantly. Best to use an optical lead to get the best audio results, especially if using a decent DAC (mine's a Cyrus)... now having to recreate my iTunes library with finest CD import quality possible!

    Great device - be wary of microwave ovens

    • Written by from Tonbridge

    Had my 802.11g model for many years and it still works great. Only problem is when the microwave oven is on and it interfere's with the signal causing dropouts. This is not Apple's fault as microwave ovens will often cause dropouts in the 2.4Ghz band. If you're in a pure 802.11n 5Ghz band (so not in mixed n/g mode) this problem should not exist. I will definitely buy another when, and if, this one bites these dust.

    Genius

    • Written by from Neston

    Perfect solution to utilise my Bose Dock without having to shell out for AirPlay enabled speakers. Had a little trouble setting up but was generally being a numpty and once realised I had selected set up new network instead of join existing everything was a breeze.
    Buy it now if you want AirPlay music, just need 3.5 jack to connect

    Ease itself

    • Written by from Dundalk

    I hooked the AirPort Express up to a powerline adapter and set it up using my iPhone in 90 seconds. It worked straight away in a concrete house with thick walls. Terrific product.

    It just works

    • Written by from Evanton

    No hanging or laging after 4hrs use...fast and easy set up.. product is not visually pleasing, but it's going to be hidden anyhow
    But like all Apple products it works great,and it' main use is for music streaming from itunes to anywhere you have a mains powered speaker set up... (it's a line level ouput, so no use for headphone)

    I'm enjoying it .... nice

    Very disappointing...

    • Written by from London

    Like so many other reviews, this product is very unreliable. When streaming music to my hi-fi it will cut out for no apparent reason and give me a flashing amber signal. If I unplug it and then plug back in it will sometimes work again, though at the time of writing that is not working either. Great concept but this product just does not work, I'm returning mine for a refund and try a non-Apple bluetooth streaming device for my hi-fi instead. I'd also add its quite expensive and the instructions to set it up are not easy to understand and did not explain how to connect the device to my existing W-Fi network.

    Don't bother

    • Written by from wadhurst

    Apple have made some of the best and worst products I’ve ever bought. This goes down as possibly the single most poorly manufactured, unreliable pieces of junk I’ve ever owned. from the offset it would cut out when streaming, didn’t integrate correctly or consistantly with my network and not for the first time with an apple product completely died shortly after the warranty ran out. Very Poor

    not good enough

    • Written by from CLECKHEATON

    when i play my music through this it keeps cutting out. what is the point of having this if you cant play music without hearing it now and again. waste of money. too expensive for something that doesnt work very good. i plug it in and i have to wait a while before its ready to use and when i start playing music its connecting for a while sometimes. when i play music there is a slight delay, not instant. c'mon apple, you can do better. listen to these reviews and sort this out. sometimes i unplug and back in but still cuts out.

    Unreliable

    • Written by from Harleston

    Like other reviewers on here, I love Apple products. However the Airport Express is like no other Apple product. It is unreliable, I’m constantly having to reboot the thing to get it to see the Mac Air/ iPad or IPhone.

    Just brilliant!

    • Written by from Romsey

    I have 4 of these devices. I sometimes link one to my hi fi, but more usually attach small, battery powered powered speakers so that I can pipe music into 4 different rooms as well as the one with the iMac. Whole house hi fi - just brilliant!

    Terrible product

    • Written by from Thornton Heath

    This simply has to be the WORST PRODUCT Apple have on the market!
    I wasted 6 hours trying to configure this to my itunes with no joy!
    I even had it replaced, only for the same thing happen again!
    This device truly is a waste of time, if you want to use your stereo with your iPod, get a docking port!!!

    Fan_tas_tic

    • Written by from Chichester

    Worked first time, up and running in 20 mins out of the box.

    Works with all my gadgets, windows 7 PC, iPad 2 and iPod touch.

    I have an old hi-fi with just phono inputs, as part of my home cinema.

    I wanted to complete the sound excellence by having my iPad as a Juke Box.

    No problem just followed instructions, and hey presto 20 mins later it was up and booming.

    It has worked faultlessly since, no drop outs or orange light.

    I have a BT router which connected easily once I turned its power on!

    So far it has worked every time from turn on.

    Fantastic box, I am about to buy more to link other rooms.

    Problem Solved

    • Written by from Waterlooville

    Works perfectly, needed to set up a second wireless network at home for my own devices, easy to set up and signal is perfect, next plan is to buy another to use as a walkabout and extend the range, also to use on business trips.
    Another Apple winner for me and my Macbook Air/Ipad/Iphone!!

    Brilliant

    • Written by from London

    Hooked up to my aux to play through my home theatre, amazing, rated only 4 out of 5 as it took me an hour to set it up. Unlike most apple products which work straight out of the box - this one didn't. I put in the disk and did the set up and it said it was working but the amber light was flashing (which the trouble shooting said there was a problem). After a bit of swearing and playing around i manually set it up and it works perfectly. I only use it for playing iTunes from my ipad or iphone through my stereo system and it is super cool!

    Works like a dream!

    • Written by from Henley On Thames

    Just bought one to allow streaming to our existing hi-fi, and to get BBC iPlayer on our Humax Freesat satellite set top box. Couldn't have been more straightforward. Highly recommended.
