Summary: 5 Stars
The Apple Airport Express is, as you might expect from an Apple product, straightforward and rather simple. I'll just jump to how this affected me, and how it will PROBABLY affect you (if you are in need of something like this). I moved into a dorm where I couldn't use a lot of the technology I'd bought (ex. Apple remote on iPod Touch) because my University doesn't support wireless Internet inside the residence halls. So here's the good things about this product:
[+] You can use wifi devices in areas that do not have wifi connection (Ethernet, etc) because the Airport Express creates a network for you.
[+] You can print wirelessly, which is cooler than it sounds. Great for clearing up desk space, which leads me into:
[+] AirTunes. You can play iTunes music wirelessly, eliminating the need for your speakers being plugged into your computer's headphone jack.
[+] Both PC & Mac compatible
[+] Up to 10 people (including yourself) can hop onto your network - which you can password protect - and print using your printer. My roommate and I struck up a deal - he bought paper and he printed over my connection.
And of course, to be fair, I'll point out some minor drawbacks I encountered:
[-] Sound only comes through the AirPort Express through AirTunes. If you'd like other sounds (YouTube, any other media player, etc.) to come out of the wireless speaker setup, you can't. This should be changed.
[-] Other people connected to the network can play music through AirTunes, which can be surprisingly obnoxious (or just surprising). I believe there may be a setting to turn off AirTunes but I'm not sure.
Overall, it's a nifty little box for a decent price tag. Of course, if you pay $80 or so more, you can get an AirPort Extreme. Or if you need backup storage with Time Machine, Apple's Time Capsule has all the features of the Airport Express in it (minues AirTunes & wireless printing). If you're looking for something light, pretty cheap, and a great, easy way to make wireless out of wired, Apple's Airport Express is your best choice.
Digital camera Review: A fantastic router!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a fantastic piece of hardware! Whether you're an Apple junkie or a needy peecee person, if you're in the market for a solid, fast router then this is the one for you. I purchased the first Express when it was introduced years ago and it NEVER skipped a beat. The set-up on this new router was even easier and the speed bump is very noticeable. The "air tunes" feature is nice too. Apple sure does do a nice job with their hardware!Digital camera Review: A good product
Summary: 4 Stars
It's great! everything works great except for the airtunes. When I try to turn on music our cordless phones interfere with it so it works for about 30 seconds then it cuts off. Otherwise its great!
