    • Pros: 802.11g base station in a small enclosure; easy setup; AirTunes music streaming.
    • Cons: Audio dropouts in some network configurations; configuring the device sometimes requires a reset to make it appear in AirPort Admin Utility.
    • Comments:
      Apple has created a product that not only provides a highly functioning 802.11g base station in a portable shell, but also pushes into a new product category. ...

    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Wi-Fi base station features 802.11n, ProxySTA
      by Dan Frakes
    • Pros: Full-featured 802.11a/b/g/n wireless access point in a portable package; can share a USB printer over a network; configuration profiles; AirTunes functionality; can operate as a dedicated wireless-to-wired bridge.
    • Cons: Ethernet jack only 100base-T; USB port doesn't support AirDisk; wireless-to-wireless performance below that of AirPort Extreme; AirTunes must be controlled from your Mac.
    • Comments:
      If you don't need the features unique to Apple's AirPort Extreme Base Station, the new Express is an affordable and portable alternative with advantages of its own, although it doesn't match the Extreme's performance. ...

    • Cons: No browser-based configuration, No SPI firewall, Lacks configurable port filtering, No built-in interface for audio control

      The AirPort Express is among the very best wireless-networking devices we've seen for Mac or Windows, but its lack of computer-free control limits its unique ability to stream iTunes music. ...

      by Rich Brown
    • Pros: New, faster 802.11n wireless standard, 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz frequency bands supported, Same price as the original model, Audio streaming capability remains unique, Imminently portable because of its small size, Easy setup
    • Cons: Not as fast as other 802.11n routers, Can't connect an external hard drive to the USB port, No Ethernet ports for wired clients
    • Comments:
      Don't pick up a new, 802.11n-enabled AirPort Express if you're looking for superfast wireless networking performance. You should consider it, however, if you're in the market for a new Wi-Fi router that offers portability, ease of use and the unique abili...
