    Great Wireless Router

    I purchased this router for a small office that didn't require a lot of coverage area. It's easy to set up, and it works great with no issues. This is my second unit, as I have another Airport Express wireless router that I take with me on business trips. As with most Apple products, these work very well, and are easy to set up. It's also very easy to change the settings by use of an iPhone or iPad. It's also very nice that you can attach speakers, and turn them into an airplay device. I would definitely purchase another if needed.

    I tried to set up my network with a cheaper router at first; I wanted to avoid paying for the AirPort Express. However, I had a bad experience with the first router I found not being compatible with the latest Apple software, so I decided to suck it up and pay the extra for AirPort. I should have just purchased it from the start. It was so easy to set up (I did it using my Mac computer), and living in a studio apartment, I have had no issues with speed whatsoever.

    I bought this to extend my Apple Air Extreme. I saw significant signal strength and increased speed on the other side of my house. Extreme is located on one side (due to modem setup) and the Express midway allowing coverage of the whole house. This setup was not what I went in to the store to buy. Glad the salesperson steered me towards Apple Air Extreme/Express.

    Our guest room did not always get great connectivity to our AirPort Wi-Fi. As recommended by the BB salesperson, simply adding this device to our home, in an area near the guest room, would expand the reach. Easy to install and works like a charm!

    We purchased the Apple router to replace one that wasn't working for our needs. The old one was terribly slow and would lose the connection. The Apple Airport express base station works great!

    Its what you expect from Apple, a product that works as advertised. We use it as a range extender on our wireless network. Adds great range. My daughter can now watch netflix in the basement.

    I used mine to extend a wireless network - works great for range - my only suggestion is it works great using with a Apple Extreme or Time Capsule.

    This item was purchased to supplement older Airport Express base stations on other floors. Set-up, as anticipated, was super easy. My only complaint is that the form factor of the newer base station is actually larger than earlier generations.

    Sad to see Apple is ending the Airport Base Station production. They really are the best in the business without going to a very high end commercial/enterprise unit. These work awesome and are so consistently great!

    I really love the simplicity of this router and it adds Air Play to my music system. I simply select the Airplay option from iphone or computer to transmit the audio to the music system and enjoy wireless audio. Set up is easy as it can get.

    The Apple - AirPort Express Base Station is a high performing piece equipment of the highest quality. It is worth every penny you pay for it. It will never let you down. I have had mine for over a year and have never experienced a failure.

    Apple - AirPort Express works great to extend range of my airport extreme down into the hobby wood shop. Have an older version of the AirPort Express as well and still working that we put out in the garage. The range seam to be great.

    We have 8 items running on wi-fi in our house and our old router was just not handling everything anymore. I went to BB and talked with a rep who recommended the Apple, said it was the best for the price. We plugged it in and noticed a big difference right away. Everything was running faster and no loading problems. I'm a happy customer. Thank you Best Buy.

    Combining the airport express with the airport extreme is the easiest way to set up a home network in bridged mode and I have used just about every other brand through the years.

    Very easy to setup and does an excellent job of extending the WiFi network. I had a 1st gen Time Capsule and an older version of the Airport. I was reluctant to buy another time capsule because of reliability concerns. $100 for an airport is an efficient alternative. I back up my data with a more reliable external that does nothing but storage.

    The Apple airport express base station is easy to configure, supports nas and printer networking as well as remote speaker capability for AirPlay enabled devices. If you like a lot of networking control with lots of options you probably wouldn't like this router/wap, but if you like easy low maintenance gear that works well, this is a good choice.

    A simple device that works. Plus points on Airplay (audio) capability. I find no use for the printer port because most printers are now w-ifi capable. Wish it was an external hard disk port instead. Overall, still a good purchase.
