- Airport Express is the right name for this product
- Having read some of the negative comments about this device, I was a bit doubtful of it but, went ahead and bought one regardless. Like so much of what goes with a Mac it works well ...like it's supposed to, and it was a breeze to install.
The only bump in the road was connecting a Vista based PC which, through some electronic hiccup, only connects to the LAN occasionally. Because the Mac is my main 'puter, the Vista PC connection problem is no big deal; besides, what else is new with Windoze?
The Airport Express is a good investment and one that I'm happy I made. - 2008-08-14, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great product with limitations
- I bought this product because I hated attaching additional cables to my laptop to play music. However, as you will easily notice, it's only for itunes. I found this limiting so i download AirFoil which unleashes the Airport Express and lets you source music from any type of source (System, Application, Etc). Windows I'm not sure...I'm a mac user. Outside of the listed above reasons...it's a great product and works as stated!

- Not as easy as Apple would like you to believe
- It works fine now that it is working. Even using a G card in my Lenovo laptop I get a much stronger signal than I got with the old LinkSys WRT54G. The internet on the laptop seems much faster.
It took about 1 1/2 on the phone with Apple at 6:00 AM. (Apple phone support is 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday). I was surprised that the call had to be escalated to 2d level support for a "simple" installation.
I was a little disappointed that at the end of the day, despite Apple's attempt to sell people on the ease of use of its products, this device was no easier to install and configure than the LinkSys. - 2008-08-11, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Apple airport express
- This thing is good but it does not reach that far,I have a one bed room apt, and if I plug it on one side it will not reach into my bed room. I have to put it in the middle of my apt for it to reach,it is fast and everything,but if you can afford the bigger version the Extreme, than get it because it will actually reach places further than 50 feet.

- Set up could be easier, but once working I have loved it!
- I agree with other posters here that setting this up could have been much simpler. Yet, once I figured it out it worked like a charm. I use this for my desktop computer to play on my living room stereo across the house and it works seemlessly. I use the remote app that you can get for the iPhone 2.0 and it make it even more fun as I can change songs straight my iPhone without having to go to my computer.
