Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: No complaints Comment: This is a clever multifunctional device. It can be used to extend your existing 'n' network, it can be connected via a USB port to allow wireless printing from all your computers around the house, and it can stream music from i-tunes when connected to powered speakers. Unlike other reviewers, I had no problems setting this up, or updating the hardware. In my installation it's wirelessly linked to an Apple Time Capsule which is used the the 'n' base station - linked by cable to a router. The AP Express is by my printer and provides access to network printing. It's also linked to a stereo system and will play i-tunes tracks from any computer on my normal stereo. If you travel this an excellent piece of kit. If your hotel has broadband but no wireless network you can easily take the AP Express with you and set up a network. I do this a lot and because the AP Express is so small it's not a problem taking it. The downside - well like at Apple wireless solutions there's no modem built in so you need two boxes rather than one. With the Express I can forgive this - it is just so small. I'm feel more strongly that Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme should feature in built modems. At £65 this device is good value and getting it to work - in the fairly complex way I've set it up - was easy. Customer Rating: Summary: setup not easy Comment: i cannot belive apple would let this product pass the production line and claim a esay setup even on windows!!!we have two windows vista laptops and we already have a wireless router so i bought this to add the air tunes to the network and mabey do some wireless printing. most disappontig, from the moment i pluged it in all i got was a amber light the amber light didn't even flash we tried everything but the book was no help it just kept saying follw the instruction in airpot assistant and the disk didn't even come with the airport assistant softwere only airport utility. there are thousands of people on line with the same problem but no solution we are now buying a new one with 802.11n broadband, mabey that will work? Customer Rating: Summary: An expensive paperweight Comment: This product worked until I followed apple's advice to update the firmware to 7.3.1 You would expect this to fix any bugs, instead it rendered the device useless and now it refuses to show up on my network. It's also impossible to fix this using either a mac or a windows PC More Reviews
