5 Minutes

It only took me 5 minutes from opening the box to have my existing network extended and my printer port up and ready to go. Great, easy to use product. Nine major apple products in my house and I haven't been disappointed with one of them.

Outstanding device and a must if you have a large home with wireless!

This is an outstanding product. I have a Time Capsule and the wireless works great but it is on the opposite side of my house from one of the main areas were I use my MacBook Pro. I set up the AirPort to extend my Time Capsule wireless network (check the "extend network" on the Time Capsule also) and it put my network signal in that area at top strength!

I now have another one and plugged my printer directly into it and now my entire network shares that printer using the wireless AirPort!

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

We bought this yesterday with the Airport Extreme Base Station, and it worked flawlessly. Today i bought another one to hook up to our surround sound, so now we have the base station, and 2 expreses that act as extenders!

Perfect for College Dorms

Written by DW from Hillsborough

Nov 16, 2009

This is the perfect router for college students with many wireless devices. The Airport Express delivers exactly as promised with grab-and-go convenience. Currently, my roommate and I have two laptops, an ipod touch, iphone, printer, and speakers running off of this router, and it performs beautifully. If a wireless only router fulfills your needs, then this is the right one for you! It's even compact enough to take with me to a friend's room if we want to share their wired connection.

Technical Notes: This is a wireless-only router. If you need more than one ethernet port, then consider the Airport Extreme. The only sound that can be played through speakers connected to this router is through "Airtunes" within iTunes, and by default this is not password protected, so your neighbors can play their music through your speakers (I found this out the hard way).
IMPORTANT FOR WINDOWS USERS! If you want to print to a printer that is connected to this router, you must download Bonjour for Windows.

Just finished the set-up of the Airport Express and did it sitting in my La-Z-Boy!!! It was all done wirelessly and it took less than 10 minutes! I tried a Linksys router and had nothing but grief so took it back and decided to go with an Apple product. We have a MacBook Pro so it made sense. It works beautiful and internet is fast. I don't know why I didn't avoid the hassle and buy this in the first place!

Recieved the box a couple days ago. Finally got to taking it out of the box and plug it in and see the result! Exactly what they say! 10min I had wireless on my MacBook Pro and in a couple of mins on my son's compac laptop. I took it down to the dock and it worked down there two albeit a bit slower but fast and steady!! Great product apple!
Glad to be a Mac Man!!!!
Cheers

Works better than advertised!

Written by MC from Wakefield

1. This will extend any wireless network, does not need the Airport Base Station to extend the wireless coverage.

2. AirTunes is great! If you are not using a Airport Base Station, you'll need to disable IPv6 on your network adapter (System Preferences > Advanced > Configure IPv6 > Off).

Overall, setup is fast and easy. Great product!

good price for a great product

I just picked up an AirPort Express this weekend and in 10 minutes I had blazing wifi throughout the house. Going to pick up a second one soon so I can set up extra speakers in an additional room. If you're looking for a good home wifi setup and don't have 10+ systems running at one time, you can't go wrong with this product.

A True Gem in the WiFi World

Written by BG from Natick

Its sad that most people don't know the capabilities of this little beauty. I have two: one for travel and one at the house I spend most of my time at. This is the cheapest/easiest way to have a multiple room audio solution I know of. I have a PC at the bar in my basement and one of these set up to the stereo in the living room, it really gets parties going when you have two speaker systems pumping out the same songs in perfect sync. USB printer share works well, its easy to set up, great range, Draft N speed, small for easy travel, this thing is a must-have.

I would recommend using this in conjunction with an AirPort Extreme or other 4 port router. Most users I've had on the Express at once is 4. Sometimes having over 10 users in my house at one time I use a D-Link DIR655 Extreme N router as my main networking source - my server is wired as are quite a few other devices.

This product is just as advertized. The only mines is that it doesn't share HDD through the wireless' USB plug.
Other than that, it works well. I can access my wifi from everywhere in the house.

All through the house

Written by KW from Crestwood

I now have two AirPort Express Base Stations, one with g and one with n technology (the g stays pegged at 54 with my n router). We got rid of our satellite radio because I can broadcast the radio function in iTunes, which has been great. It took a bit to get everything set up, but once they are working, they do fantastic. No more skips when the microwave or phone is in use! Very enjoyable with all the radio stations (as well as my music collection) in both the living room and the basement with my computer upstairs.

Very Reliable

Written by AV from Markham

Nov 9, 2009

I bought this because I got fed up with 3 routers I tried from DLink, Netgear, and Linksys (WRT54G2). These routers would all drop the wireless connection under heavy load (BitTorrent, streaming video, etc).

The Airport Express is rock solid and delivers full bandwidth under heavy load. It's easy to configure, and Airtunes works great!

Super fast set up... Under 5min. Using this with a older laptop o/s windows XP/ HOME. Laptop has old and slower wireless G card. Using AirPort Extreme (n) with AirPort Express(n) run ethernet cable from Express to laptop. Now I have twice the speed.

Pure and simple music heaven!

Written by SB from Jersey City

Nov 8, 2009

I bought Airport Express after constantly being tired of resetting my older router as I kept losing wi-fi connection. Now I am in wi-fi and music heaven. Setting up express was a breeze and then i hooked up the audio out via an optical cable with my Bose system. Now I listen to crystal clear sound with a tap of my finger via Airtunes. This clearly ranks as one of the best investments so far!

Nearly Perfect

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!

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

Written by JC from Stockton

Nov 4, 2009

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.
