Summary: 5 Stars
I found this product to work well with MS Windows XP and the set up was quite easy. I have WEP 128 bit encryption on a Linksys 54G Wireless router. First off I downloaded the newest Firmware for the unit and then got the latest Admin utility from the website. I have found that for any computer electronics that you are trying to set up with your computer it pays to get the latest versions from the web. It is never worth wasting time on the software that comes with products. If there is a newer version on line that fixes any bugs, that is vital to solving the problems most users have when trying to use the packaged software.
I plugged in the unit, went to the configuration utility and in the "AirPort" tab made all the necessary changes. Set up the Wireless security key, changed the format to HEX, changed the units password from the default, saved it all as a profile then "updated" the profile so it works. Takes about 3 minutes to do. Once you hit "Update" it took about 60-90 seconds for the green light to come on and it was working. I have this plugged in to an outlet in my living room and it keeps the 2.4GHz cordless phone from disconnecting us when we are online. It is great. Can not wait to try it travelling.

This simple router installs on my MAC i-Book without a hitch. Of course, things are different on my Widows XP desk top. I needed the help of my local tech geek to do the step by step connection to the PC. Could it be that this is a deliberate attempt by Microsoft to sabotage the apple product? I think not. Our resident geek says that windows reacts the same way with most routers. Anyway, once you get it up and running, it is just like the battery bunny. It just keeps going and going. You never have to look at it again.Digital camera Review: Apple AirPort Express with Air Tunes

I bought one Apple AirPort Expess with Air Tunes and after getting it working bought a second unit. My wife and I use new MacBook and iMac computers and we share a laser printer. We both have iTunes libraries and like to play playlists through our home stereo equipment in the Den and/or Living Room. We also share a Comcast broadband Internet Web connection. Results are mixed as follows: The wireless Web connection is solid, fast and reliable from any room in the house. Both the Air Tunes, and printing function require use of the setup utilities and/or restart of the AirPort Express nearly every time we change from use of one computer or the other. To get the Air Tunes and print functions to work required sessions on the phone with Apple tech support. Of course it takes 15-20 minutes wait time to speak with a tech support rep like all the help lines from various vendors. One tech rep that specializes in AirPort let me know that they get calls all day long and the reality is that wireless printing and music require lots of re-booting. Even so, once working, the result is worth the effort. As others have noted that these units burn out in a couple of years, I'm hoping that a better product is available when mine fail.Digital camera Review: Apple AirPort Express with Air Tunes Lives up to it's promise..
