- (1) The AirPort Express Base Station is based on an IEEE 802.11n draft specification and is compatible with IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, and IEEE 802.11g.
- (2) Based on a comparison with Apple's 802.11g products. Comparison assumes AirPort Express network with 802.11n-enabled computer. Speed and range will be less if an 802.11a/b/g product joins the network. Accessing the wireless network requires an AirPort- or AirPort Extreme-enabled computer or other Wi-Fi Certified 802.11a/b/g-enabled computer. Actual performance will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors. Range will vary with site conditions.
- (3) Wireless Internet access requires a wireless-enabled computer, a base station or other access point, and Internet access (fees may apply). Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort Express.

Perfect!!!!!

I set this up with an airport extreme to extend my network to our church. The house is about 65 ft. from the church. This little…Read more box in conjunction with airport extreme was the perfect solution. I had previously used linksys products to achieve a similar result, but found this to be worth the extra $$. Airport was simpler, faster, more powerful and gives me the benefit of printing, storing, and listening to music wire free. Thanks Apple for a great product.

Indispensable

I'm probably repeating what everybody else is saying, but this thing is great for traveling. Here's my recent story.
I bought on…Read moree for my wife to go with the Bose Wave Radio, and she loves being able to play here iTunes music that way. We just took a short trip and I chucked it in the luggage "just in case". Got to the hotel (older 5-star place) and found out the internet was wired, in the front room on the phone desk, with a 2 foot cable. I plugged in the Airport Express, connected to ethernet, created a new configuration for such an occasion, made up a WPA2 password and within 3 minutes had a secure wireless network for my wife and me. Never even had to think about it for the rest of the trip - it was always there when we needed it.
When I got back home, I just plugged it back into the Bose and the Airport Utility on my laptop notified me of a griping Airport Express. I chose the old configuration and was back in business within minutes.
It's fast, easy, intuitive, useful, and reliable. I thought it was overpriced when I bought it, turns out it's cheap.
