Simple, compact ... WiFi that pays for itself. by Rusty Johnson (Maquoketa, Iowa)  5 Stars
November 22, 2009
Surf the web or check your e-mail from the La-Z-Boy. The Airport Express pays for itself with downloads to your iPhone. In Canada ... my Fido plan allowed 1 GB per month of data downloads. The free Wikipedia app for the iPhone is a 2 GB download.

Signal strength: -3 dBm is half ... +3 dBm is twice the signal strength ... so when (iPhone App) WiFi Trak gives you a signal of -30 dBm it is twice the milliwatts of -33 dBm.
+10 dBm is ten times the signal strength. So -30 dBm is ten times stronger than -40 dbm. 0 dBm equals 1 milliwatt.
Tusen Takk!

Had some issues at first but... by little e (New York)  4 Stars
November 17, 2009
The Airport is great, HOWEVER, I have to say that when I first received it I was sent an OLD, USED one. I was very upset by this and had to mail it back to Amazon (though with UPS picking it up I didn't have to pay for postage) but they were expeditious in sending me another and the second time out, I indeed received a brand new Airport. It was more of a headache and brief inconvenience, but Amazon was good about correcting their mistake. This was also a great buy- less than usual cost.

Pefect for adding internet connection to my new TV by Michael Salinas (Benicia, CA) 5 Stars
November 12, 2009
I purchased the airport express to bridge my new Sony TV to my wireless network. I currently own a Mac and the Airport Extreme. Connecting the airport express to my network took all of 3 minutes and my TV can now stream the internet perfectly. Thank you Amazon for the great price, no tax and Free Shipping! Thank you, Apple, for helping to make my life EASY! I have dealt with PC wireless networks in the past and they are nowhere near as user friendly as what Apple brings to the market.
Pro's:
- Easy set-up
- Small form factor (fits easily on my power strip)
- Excellent connectivity
Con's:
- Bright green LED light is too bright. We use this item in our bedroom and it's noticeable at night. I need to figure out if I can turn it off. if not, will put electrical tape over it)

Airport Express is the easiest routing device to setup on the market. Apple seems to allows be ahead of the game. For that they will continue to have my business.

Easy set up by S. Nienow (St. Paul, MN) 5 Stars
November 09, 2009
I purchased the Airport Express for the sole purpose of using AirTunes. The set up was very fast, straight forward, and simple. I didn't have to run any installation software. Just using the Airport Utility on my Mac Pro, and following the instructions in the enclosed booklet, I got AirTunes to connect up to my existing wireless connection (linksys router) and completed the set up in less than 15 minutes.
