Apple Airport Express

Posted on March 12th, 2007 by Brandon Quintana in wireless

I picked up one of the Apple Airport Express units when I purchased the Logitech Audiostation Express. I wanted to stream music from my laptop to the speaker wirelessly and I knew this would do the job. Its been out for a while, and with Apple updating its Airport Extreme basestation to 802.11n technology, it’s only a matter of time until this product is replaced.

For what I am using it for it works just as intended. Setup was very easy and I connected it to my Belkin N1. Since I use an 802.11n network on the Belkin, I couldn’t use the Airport Express as a range extender. That didn’t really matter too much to me. I get pretty good range throughout my apartment with the Belkin.

iTunes recognized the Airport Express right away and after connecting the proper cables to my Logitech speaker I was good to go.

It was easy to setup and functions how it should. I really don’t have any complaints. For my uses 802.11g works fine. It doesn’t really need 802.11n. It streams music just fine. It could be a little cheaper though, but it’s not unreasonably priced in my opinion. It also offers print sharing for those looking to add a shared printer to your wireless network.
