Apple Has Outdone Itself With The new Airport Express

byjlc2005 May 20, 2008
22 Helpfuls 23 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A totally well thought out multi-purpose, super-fast router. Bargain price.
Cons Only one Ethernet port.
Recommended it? Yes

The new Airport Express with 802.11n (draft 2 spec) capability is the second generation of this product. Apple kept everything that was great about the original Express and then gave it some serious attitude and speed while simplifying what was already a very simple, easy to use interface.

The 3rd wireless router I've bought, 1st I've kept

byjstrnad May 7, 2009
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ease of use, speed, once connected
Cons May not be as effortless to connect as advertised, even with a Mac.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the AirPort Express for my Mac Mini after having failed to set up two other name-brand routers in the past. In those two cases, I was able to connect the Mac Mini but not my (old) Windows XP machine even after hours of struggle and phone calls to tech support. I took both of those routers...

Cons Missing required antennae; Customer service SUCKS
Recommended it? No

I ordered the Cisco Aironet 1231 the other day, and after it arrived, set it up, and...couldn't get a wireless signal. I called customer support and was told I would be called back by a technician (which obviously the first yahoo was not) within an hour. We waited...and got online to try to figure...

Industrial-strength wireless, not for the faint of heart

bysolind Jun 23, 2006
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Highest available radio quality, range and security.
Cons You really need to know what you're doing to set it up with security.
Recommended it? Yes

I searched high and low for a wireless access point with the range and sensitivity to reach every corner of my 175 year old home. That's a tall order, considering that it's about 3500 square feet of living space, on three stories, in a brick structure (with the occasional internal load-bearing... Read full review »
