 When is USB not USB? No sound in Front Row nor iTunes video. April 4, 2008

First up, I purchased the Airport Express primarily to share a printer, and I'm happy with that. It works well.
I was however disappointed to learn that the USB port on the Airport Express won't allow other USB devices to be connected to it. It's only a Printer USB port!
Secondly, while using iTunes, the Airport Express picks up songs and audio podcasts and plays them through my stereo very well, it's almost magic, however when it comes to watching and listening to a Video Podcast (also in iTunes) the sound can only be head with though my MacBook Pro speakers. I'm very disappointed.
I also would have thought that Front Row would have had supported the Airport Express sound, so not only does it not pick up the sound from the Video Podcasts, audio from Front Row is not recognised.
Apple has sold itself short with this new version of the Airport Express, a product that on the fact of it promised a lot but only partially delivers.
As a reasonably recent convert to Mac, I continue to admire Apple's design and comparatively exceptional interface. Setting up the Airport Express was a breeze.
 Bought this instead of another Linksys and Netgear for PC. and Mac April 23, 2008

This is the 4th router that I've bought (Compag, Linksys & Netgear) and got it for its size and portability. Didn't take very long to get it running (probably less than 5 minutes): took it right out of the box (without reading instructions), plugged in the DSL cable, and plugged into wall receptacle. The computer found the router, clicked, and got connected to the internet real fast. Can't wait to use it in hotels and motels when traveling - now the whole family can use their computers together in the same room and not have to separate and wander down to the lobby for wifi connection.
 I expected better April 28, 2008

I received my airport express about 30 days ago. It was an almost automatic set up and worked for the first 3 weeks. The communication with the printer was always extremely slow from the get-go. Recently, the device just quit communicating with the internet. In order to re-establish internet contact, I had to unplug the device and then run the diagnostic process. It always recovered (for a while) then lost internet after some period of time. I contacted Apple support who was unaware (claimed) of the problem. After 30+ minutes on hold, my connection was terminated. I'm back to my Linksys and, (if afforded the opportunity), will get my money back from Apple and stay with Linksys.
The best I can say about this product is that it is "compact" and Apple tech support folks do speak english.
Easy to get help from Apple June 2, 2008

Bought this to add to existing Apple Airport Extreme to extend range and play iTunes upstairs. Had a problem with setup, called Apple and a very helpful and knowledgable (US based I believe) person, walk me though the steps (I had missed one) and even waited while I did a couple of reboots of the device. The best support anywhere and the device worked as advertised extending my .n network and playing music easily.
 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.
