Rating: - Horrible product, decent support. Get the Xmod
For $99 this seems like a great deal. It is if you can get it to work. I spent 2 days trying to connect this to my Windows network and failed miserably.
I broke down and called support. It didn't take long to get through which was very nice. I spent about 20 minutes with a rep saying, "I already tried that" over and over. Then they sent me to 2nd tier support. We spent about 2 hours fiddling with it. I was happy once it was working. However, the next day it wasn't working any ... Read More
Rating: - Not like I had a choice...
I bought this product because I needed to get a wireless connection to my G5 Tower (across the house) that did not come with an airport extreme card (isn't compatible with the standard Extreme card). I would need to buy the Airport Extreme/ Bluetooth card for $140 and the "run away (runway?)" card for $40. Not going to happen.
I was sold on the Airport Express because it had an ethernet port, so I figured it would pick up the wireless signal from my Linksys WRT56G router and wire the ... Read More
Rating: - With PC, fails the ease of setup standard
I am here at 11 pm looking for validation and possible insight into why the Airport Express doesn't want to set up. I am using a Dell laptop with Windows XP SP2 and a built in 802.11b card. Apple is starting to look more and more like Microsoft in the 90's - pushy updaters,endless product tie ins and now flaky installations. As others have noted, the manual is nearly worthless. Disappointed in DC.
UPDATE - 3 days later - I have succeeded in connecting this twice and it works quite well then but ... Read More
Rating: - Just what I needed, times 3
I use three of these boxes. I turned off the wifi on my ISP-provided router. I wired one of these boxes to the router and created a wireless-N network. Plug in a set of good computer speakers and suddenly I have a great wifi signal and iTunes music in the bedroom. The second box extends the wifi signal in the living room and is hooked to the stereo. Presto, iTunes in there, too. The last box provides the same benefits in the kitchen. Toss in Apple Remote on my iPhone and you have much of the functionality ... Read More
Rating: - Wow! I had no idea it could do this!
I was looking to extend our wireless network (w/Time Machine as the base). As part of doing that, I discovered that this little unit can actually stream music to my nearby stereo, using my iPhone (or Macbook Pro) as the remote control! It took less than 10 minutes to extend my network AND get music (and Podcats) playing perfectly on our Onkyo receiver. The Airport Express shows up on my iPhone (using the free Remote application from Apple), and as a destination option from iTunes itself. I can even control the ... Read More
