Rating: - With PC, fails the ease of setup standard
I am here at 11 pm looking for validation and possible insight into why the Airport Express doesn't want to set up. I am using a Dell laptop with Windows XP SP2 and a built in 802.11b card. Apple is starting to look more and more like Microsoft in the 90's - pushy updaters,endless product tie ins and now flaky installations. As others have noted, the manual is nearly worthless. Disappointed in DC.
UPDATE - 3 days later - I have succeeded in connecting this twice and it works quite well then ... Read More
Rating: - Just what I needed, times 3
I use three of these boxes. I turned off the wifi on my ISP-provided router. I wired one of these boxes to the router and created a wireless-N network. Plug in a set of good computer speakers and suddenly I have a great wifi signal and iTunes music in the bedroom. The second box extends the wifi signal in the living room and is hooked to the stereo. Presto, iTunes in there, too. The last box provides the same benefits in the kitchen. Toss in Apple Remote on my iPhone and you have much of the ... Read More
Rating: - Wow! I had no idea it could do this!
I was looking to extend our wireless network (w/Time Machine as the base). As part of doing that, I discovered that this little unit can actually stream music to my nearby stereo, using my iPhone (or Macbook Pro) as the remote control! It took less than 10 minutes to extend my network AND get music (and Podcats) playing perfectly on our Onkyo receiver. The Airport Express shows up on my iPhone (using the free Remote application from Apple), and as a destination option from iTunes itself. I can even ... Read More
Rating: - 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?

Rating: - 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!
