Just connect a printer to the USB port on the AirPort Express Base Station and the printer instantly becomes available to everyone on your wireless network.AirPort Express with AirTunes brings your iTunes music in your Mac or PC into your living room - or wherever in your home you have a stereo or a set of powered speakers.

Good idea. Too bad they didn't test it.

byprebys Feb 4, 2005
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good price. Very nice IF you can get it to work.
Cons Beta release. Buggy. Bundled server just plain broken. Netgear support pathetic.
Recommended it? No

Here's the bottom line. This is clearly a beta-release
product that was rushed to market before it was
ready, and many problems linger a year after its
release. I *was* finally able to make it work with a
combination of websurfing and trial and error. Netgear
support was... Read full review »

Inexpensive MP3 streaming client with a few quirks

byleisure_larry Dec 23, 2004
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy setup, solid performance, cheap , good sound quality
Cons Internet radio service expensive, no real player or WMV stations, only works with remote
Recommended it? Yes

I always wanted to have a streaming client to listen to my favorite radio station from home, which I planned on streaming via internet. Out comes the Netgear MP101, which this review covers. A wireless digital music player promising to do just that. Well even before buying I realized that the... Read full review »

Excellent little device that's two features from perfect

byamericanbear Jul 30, 2004
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros AirTunes, Print Server, and Router for $129
Cons Requires WDS for wireless to ethernet, no wired clients in router mode. Needs latest OS.
Recommended it? Yes

I just got my Airport Express (AX), for a seemingly high $119 (education price, $129 normally); but it's important to understand what the Airport Express can do.

So what can that little what box do?

- It can be a Wireless Access Point (including router)

- It can be an... Read full review »

Pros Good quality, easy installation, flexible use, good value, works seamlessly with iTunes.
Cons Potential networking complications, extending network option dramatically reduces...
Recommended it? Yes

I love music, I love my old 1981 Bang and Olufsen Beomaster 2400 stereo, and now I love MP3s, which have just begun outnumbering my CD's.

Unfortunately, the only way I could hear them would be over my computer speakers or by burning a CD. How cool would it be, I thought, if I could just... Read full review »
