Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a nice apple base station. But, we had a hard time getting it to set up with ours.

I expected more and would have returned it but kept for AirPlay

The product has been given me a lot of problems since I bought it.

Sales rep gave us the wrong wireless, we returned it because it was for computer hook up not plug and use without wires

I was using this for the Airplay feature mostly. It seems a bit sluggish on the playing and pausing with Airplay.

I now have 4 Airport Expresses. They seem to work and give me coverage throughout the house and basement.

It makes it easy to print wirelessly if directly connected to the Internet and not thru wifi.

I have several Airport Express' around my home for different purposes. Two of the newer ones, and one of the older ones. The newer design is better now that it's designed to sit on a surface. The previous design was meant to hang from a plug. Luckily for that one, I had an old iBook cable that connected to it and allowed my to put it flat on a surface. The AirPort Express is easy to set up with Apple's AirPort Utility. Express allows you to use it as an extension of an existing network or create a new one. In my home, I use two for piping music from iPods, iPhones, any of my Macs, including a Mac Mini that I use as a music server, to separate sound systems in my home. One is an old boombox in my garage and the other is a old Klipsch iGroove that's not compatible with newer iPods and iPhones. This is great way to again find use for that dockable sound system that's no longer compatible with newer iPods and iPhones. My last Express is used to make my Dymo label printer wireless. I've also used an Express when traveling to create my own wireless network in my hotel room. Some upscale hotels charge $10 per day for wireless access but almost always provide free wired Internet. In that case, I connect my AirPort Express to the wired network to create my own wireless network. Not only do I save $, but also have a more trusted wireless network that I, and anyone I'm with, can access. In some areas where I might not trust a provided wireless network, I've set up my own network in addition to the one provided. I sincerely love this product and highly recommend it. It's flexibility is amazing.

I have had this unit for a few weeks and the signal at certain portions of the house is poor

I am sure this will work for some people, but it didn't seem to work well for our needs.

Actually had to call Apple support to get it working right after install. A simple fix but no instructions.

This was added to my Airport Time capsule and the speed between the two is super slow.

We followed all of the installation directions and it doesn't seem to have made much difference.

Best Buy Salesperson told me the Air-Port works as a range extender. Well, the first one didn't, so I returned for another... then another.. and on the third one, I called Apple because I knew something had to be wrong... and was told that the airport will NOT work as an extender. Sure wish the salesperson products better. It was a nightmare

I had to return the item because it would not work with ATT router.

i continuously have problems with it stay connected to the network.

Bought this to hook Dymo printer into, didn't work well for me.

I was promise in BEST BUY (a sale representative) that it was easy to install and to use and is not. When you call customer service in APPLE they don't even know how to install it right...I purchased this item about a month ago mainly for the use of my new laptop and today is the day I haven't been able to use my laptop.

I connected the Airport Express Base Station to my network to extent the network to a distant portion of my house. I used an ethernet cable because the Best Buy salesman said connecting via WiFi would become a drag on network speed because of network overhead. When I brought the system up the network could hardly download a web page. However, as soon as I disconnected the power to the Airport Express Base Station and rebooted the Airport Base Station alone, all was well again. I tried using the WiFi connectivity without the ethernet cable and the network was still too slow to use as the Best Buy salesman said it would be.

Its a router for wifi, needed it since wifi doesnt grow on trees.
