apple always ahead of the rest July 13, 2008
the airport express was everything i expected and more.I read all the reviews before i bought it and i anxiously awaited its arrival.I have it three weeks now it was delivered promptly and after i installed it (which i must add was very easy to do) it has performed exceptionally thus far.No complaints. Once again thanks Mac...for upholding innovation...
 Works reasonably well but will only last a year or two July 13, 2008

I've been mostly satisfied with the Airport - it gets good reception, it looks nice, it was reasonably easy to set up, and running music through itunes to my stereo is nice (although sometimes it seems to struggle, only playing a second or two, pausing, repeat). The biggest problem is that they break down quickly. I have two set up in my home and in the last 3 years, 3 have died. Almost all of my friends have had the same experience. So be prepared to buy a new one after a year or two.
 Small and Powerful July 13, 2008
This is one of the coolest devices I've seen since Tivo. Easy to configure and it just works.
Coolness Reason 1: I needed internet access in my entertainment center for several devices (like tivo, receiver,...) and I was able to hang a 5 port hub of this thing. This allowed me to have several wired devices all have wireless access each with DHCP from the Airport Extreme (or Time Capsule in this case).
Coolness Reason 2: The music side of this thing is great. I have 3 of these around my house and my mac sees each of them and allows me to choose one or all of them to send tunes to. The main one in my entertainment center doubles as a hub and a music provider to the stereo. Again, no hassle. I just works.
I cannot speak to how this works in a non mac environment, but with my mac and Time Capsule it works flawlessly.
Each can be named something meaningful like Living Room or Family Room or Yoda in this case (small and powerful).
Works fine after a painfully difficult set up. July 7, 2008

It took me a full day to work out the bugs in setting my Express up to work with my Mac Mini and my wife's Mac Powerbook. First it worked on one, but the other could not find it. Then it didn't work at all. There is a lot more involved in setting up your own wireless network and making decisions as to what level of security you want (with no ready explanation of what the pros and cons of the different levels are). Eventually, I had it all set up and would be very happy with the product, in spite of it being a difficult "plug and play," but I discovered it's not fully compatible with any multi-function printers. Might be nice if they let you know up front that ONLY the most basic printing function will work. You will not be able to scan or fax or even get your ink levels. Even some of your printing set-up options will be lost. I spent hours trying to find out why those things weren't working only to find by googling the problem that there is no way to make the many reasons you buy a multi-function printer work. It should say right on the box "DOES NOT SUPPORT MULTI-FUNCTION PRINTING." We kept it to use it for a cable router, but disconnected the printer from it and went to sharing a wire.
Replaced an earlier model, works perfectly July 3, 2008
For some reason, my earlier Airport Express stopped working (after... about 6 years I think). Guess even good hardware burns out eventually! The new unit works perfectly, and is SO easy to use! I use it with OSX. Love Apple products!!
