Go wireless!
Stream music, print, and share an internet connection wirelessly with the Apple AirPort Express MB321LL/A wireless base station. With its blazing-fast 802.11n wireless connection, 10/100BASE-T ethernet port, USB port, and 35mm audio minijack, the AirPort Express is the perfect link between your wireless-enabled Mac or PC computer and your audio system, printer, or internet connection. While the AirPort Express is still full compatible with 802.11a/b/g wireless protocols, its 802.11n draft 2.0 compatibility delivers a wireless connection with up to five times the performance and twice the range of previous protocols.
Unleash your music
It's official. The iTunes library on your computer has finally reached the level of awesome. The only problem is, it's stuck there. Until now. Use the AirPort Express' audio minijack to connect the unit to your stereo system and you can wirelessly stream all the music on your wireless-enabled computer to the stereo via the AirPort Express. Connect multiple AirPort Expresses to stereos throughout your home for a fully connected, fully wireless home audio experience. Looking to take control of your audio system wireless, too? You can use your iPhone or iPod touch to control your iTunes library from any room in your house. All you have to do is download the free Remote application from the App Store.
print . . . Print . . . PRINT!
Here's a common home networking problem: You've got computers stationed all over the house — in the office, in your kids' bedrooms, in the living room. On the other hand, you just have one printer. In the office. So, any time you need to print from any of the computers not in the office, you have to email the documents or transport them using a flash drive. Sounds like a hassle to us. Enter the Apple AirPort Express. Use the AirPort Express's USB port to link the printer to a wireless connection, and then print documents from wireless-enabled computers located anywhere in the house.
Table for ten
It's one of those fundamental, Kindergarten lessons: sharing. With the AirPort Express connected to your home's broadband internet connection via the unit's ethernet jack, you have the ability to share internet with up to ten users at one time, wirelessly. Further, if you already have a wireless network setup in your home, you can use the AirPort Express as a wireless bridge to extend the range of your wireless network. And because the AirPort Express is portable, you can move the unit to extend your network to different areas of your home at different times.
A little peace of mind
Sometimes others don't share as well as you do. The AirPort Express's built-in encryption technologies and firewall help to keep your data and equipment safe from use or attacks by unintentional users.

The Airport Express is a phenominal little product with termendous flexibility and power. I use this in conjunction with an Airport Extreme to provide wireless connection to the Internet throughout my home where distance and electrical interferences cause too much interference for a single wireless router. This little router or bridge is sufficient to handle up to 10 users whereas the Airport Extreme is sufficient for up to 50 users. That´s much more than I need in my home but it works SO well that I would never trade. Set-up is a breeze.
