Apple AirPort Express with Air Tunes (M9470LL/A)

Average rating: Stars

Neat stuff in a small package...

Status light is too bright but useful visual, can easily put tape over it so it doesn't light the room up, also tends to fall out of outlet because its a heavy lopsided unit with fold out prongs. These were my immediate complaints, but the sound quality is awesome. And with a program called Airfoils, you can stream any sounds from Apple through it, not just iTunes. so I can stream WGN radio from real player or sounds from DVD player into a stereo wirelessly, and the sound quality is excellent. If you can plug this in an outlet strip or something higher in the room, the range would be good to cover a home. but most outlets are at ground level, and I found the range was worse then my dlink that has a small external antenna, Im happy with the product, has a special purpose, if you are not going to use it as a wireless router, music streaming and print server, your better off buying individual items to accomplish what your after. If you want an all in one package and you printer will be near your stereo, and its centrally locted in your home to use a wireless router, then this is perfect.

This does not work--I have 2 of them

I love apples, but I warn you not to buy this product. I bought 2 for 2 differnet ibooks in 2 different locations. The wireless worked fine for the first 6 months, but has stopped. The problem is most likely in the software, since the problem happened in both systems. There is an Apple discussion board on-line through Apple that has over 500 posts discussing this issue. Apparently Apple has no idea about how to fix it. So, save your money and don't buy this product. I wish it would work--but it does not.

Did Microsoft really make this thing?

I bought it to just stream music from a PC via a wifi-g network to the home stereo. Install was a mess. It wouldn't work with any SSID name other than the factory default no matter what. We'd get it up & working, change the SSID and for all it knew, it was at the bottom of the Pacific. It also won't work with the WEP enabled. If you're worried about security & have a Cisco Linksys WRT54G, this is not for you. The MAC address system at least works.

Further, the wirelss network crashes every couple weeks now, something it never used to do. I don't know why, so I can't say for sure it's the AirPort's fault, but it never did this prior to its install, and it started doing it right after we put it on.

Would I buy it knowing what I know now? No. When it does want to work, it does an okay job. But given what Apple charges, I'm not longer in a hurry to shift to one of their computers.
