| Aggravating Setup for FIOS Users, But Great After That 2010-09-08 |
| By E. LINDER (New York, NY USA) |
I extensively read about all options to get music on my home server to my kitchen and decided upon the Airport Express. I have been on a bit of an anti-Apple kick lately (even though I have an iPhone and use iTunes) after I found I had to move all my pictures out of iPhoto in order to share them with other Microsoft computers and Sony PS3 and Apple made it extremely difficult to do so. Also Apple said iMovie works with AVCHD, but it didn't and they told me as much when I called. Why is it that it is so easy to access Microsoft systems using Apple software, but so hard for Microsoft systems to access Apple? Bad Apple! But there was just no beating the cost and ease of use of the Airport Express, especially if you have an iPhone to control iTunes and want great quality home audio system sound. So I bought the AirPort Express...
But then there was the setup, argh, which is supposed to be (and sometimes is) easy with Apple, but often isn't. I was very, very skeptical about simply plugging in a wireless device which had no user interface for wireless network connection setup and have it recognized by software on another computer on the network before it was connected, and my skepticism was correct. After you plug in the Airport and load up the AirPort Utility software on another computer on the network, it is apparently supposed to find it and let you set up its wireless connection. But it didn't and the Airport utility couldn't find any devices to manage on my network. After a lot of digging and wasted time, it seems that in my case the problem seemed to be because I was using a Verizon FiOS network with their supplied wireless router which used WEP security by default. Apple says it supports WEP, but apparently not for the joining of existing networks (bad Apple!) and it makes no mention of fixing problems connecting Airport to FiOS networks on its website anywhere even though there were several posts elsewhere.
So here's what I did: I used the Verizon In Home Agent software to update the security to WPA-PSK (e.g. Personal. I read somewhere WPA2 didn't work). Of course, Verizon doesn't give you the log-in password to your router, so I had to dig it out of the closet and press the Reset button to create a new password. After I did that, the AirPort Utility program on my Windows 7 computer STILL could not find it, though. So then I grabbed an ethernet cable and hardwired the AirPort directly to the router. THEN the AirPort Utility program finally found it and I manually set up the wireless internet connection with password using the wired connection. Then I unconnected it and it worked fine wirelessly after I had set it up.
I wouldn't have been bothered if Apple had simply had said that you need to use WPA and hard wire it to set up the wireless connection, but they didn't and I wasted hours figuring out the problem. This is not acceptable, Apple, but it works so great after that that I will forgive you yet again and probably buy an iPad, too... |
 High potential - Apple crippled it though 2010-08-31 |
| By Oliver Jaeckel-bender (Pfalz) |
Cool start - some issues at the end.
Why apple prevents other applications from streaming the audio to the airtunes module is probably a dictatorship topic once more. Oh well. I heard the boxes break after two years but cannot tell yet. Is it capacitors on the power supply side? Anyway: Multi-Room speaker setup is great and easy. Why only iTunes can use it - NO IDEA!

 Airport Express Doesn't Work At 10 Feet 2010-08-29 |
| By JavaPro (United States) |
| My Mac laptop is ten feet away from the Airport Express receiver which is attached to my stereo. When I play a song on iTunes, each and every minute the Airport Express will lose the signal for ten to fifteen seconds. I have line of sight between the laptop and the Airport Express and little chance of interference. Its not exactly the experience I was hoping for. |
| Works well 2010-08-26 |
| By R. Madden (Cedar Rapids, IA USA) |
| Had a few annoying hiccups on initial set-up; I bought this to extend my network (using an Airport base station). A few more explicit explanations w/ the software would help. But once it was connected, I hooked up my TV and use the wireless for my PS3 downstairs; the base station is upstairs. Probably cheaper alternatives, but I'm a long-time Mac user (since 1984...), so prefer to go that route, if possible. |
 Amazing! Hours of frustration saved!! 2010-08-25 |
| By Hankk (Boulder, CO) |
I move every few years, and for the last three moves I've tried to set up my wireless network using Linksys and other routers with the new ISP when I move in. I don't know what it is with networking, but it has been consistently a frustrating and awful experience to just get even the most basic Wifi setup working. I'm plenty adept technically -- been using Unix/Linux for 20+ years and program for a living.
Last night I spent two hours trying to get my Linksys WRT54G router working. Just trying to set up a simple new network... no password, nothing fancy, just enough to login from my laptop. Total failure. I don't know what of the hundreds of settings was incorrect, but something was off. I reset all the defaults, read plenty of walkthrus, no success. I installed the open-source DD-WRT firmware and that ended up no better.
I gave up, spent a few bucks on this brilliant Apple Airport Express, plugged it in, and literally within 120 seconds of opening the box, I was done. It was SIMPLE SIMPLE SIMPLE! And it worked! I should have done this years ago!
I'm mostly going to use this as a regular Wifi router. It does more things, like running a printer remotely too, though I don't need that now. Streaming music throughout the house -- I set that up (two minutes), and it worked perfectly.
It's BRILLIANT and it WORKS. Just buy it!! |
