AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n and AirTunes

Nearly Perfect

Written by JP from Fort Wayne

I've had my Airport Express for over 5 years, and it might be the best electronics accessory I've ever had. Over the years, my family (during high school), my roommates (during college), and my wife (now) have all had seamless access to wireless internet, surround sound, and printer through this little device. It's great!

WOW!

Bought this to run my music wirelessly upstairs and it is SWEET! Took maybe 5 minutes from the time the ups guy dropped the box off til I was listening to music in my kitchen (my computer is in the basement). I use the remote app on my iphone to control my stereo and now I have my entire itunes library in my kitchen. Great product.

Linksys should be ashamed

Just got my AirPort Express and it is beautifully simple to set up and elegantly designed. AirTunes was the main reason for my purchase, but after seeing it I wrapped up my Linksys router and stuffed into the drawer with all the other 90's technology.

The product was installed in 10 minutes. (*)
The iTunes integration is perfect
The sound is medium-poor quality; can be improved by using the equalizer of iTunes instead of the adjusting knobs of the amplifier.
The design is as usual - perfect.

(*) I used a different setup by connecting the airport with an existing WIFI network by means of a wire instead of wireless. In this way the network is used more efficiently.

Small, nice design but BAD streaming!

Bought this wanting to use it with living room stereo.
But the streaming cuts VERY often. Specially if I'm using the internet.
So it doesn't do what it is supposed to do well enough.
But, i must admit that i only started to have problems after itunes 9.0...
don't know why.

Efficiency

It's a great integration piece for the speakers, phone and iPod touch.
Efficient with the use of the speakers printer and MacBook. Just think: No Wires!
and even when I have guests they can use their iPod touch at my place. Very much recommended.

So-So Airstreaming

Written by LP from New York

Oct 31, 2009

I've had this product for about 6 months now. Overall it's pretty good- extremely easy to set up and as a router, never had a problem. Airstreaming (wireless streaming itunes), however, doesn't work very well. It seems to lose the signal quite frequently and for prolonged periods. A one hour podcast typically starts cutting out at the 25 min mark, fading in and out 4-5 times for several minutes at a pop before I switch back to the laptop speakers. It's frustrating and upsetting since I bought the Express specifically for this capability.

If you are buying this product for Airstreaming, buy plug-in speakers instead.
