Presenting AirPort Express.
Featuring AirTunes for playing your iTunes music wirelessly on your home stereo or powered speakers, AirPort Express brings not only the Internet but your music to wherever in your home you like to enjoy them most — whether you use a Mac or Windows PC. Unmatched in its ease of use, it delivers data rates up to 54 megabits per second1, fits in the palm of your hand so you can take it wherever you go — and it costs just $99.
Driving the Wi-Fi Revolution
In 1999, Apple sparked the wireless revolution with the introduction of AirPort, the first affordable and easy-to-use solution for accessing the Internet without restrictive cables. In 2003, AirPort Extreme took your unwired connection to the next level by harnessing the even-faster 802.11g wireless standard for data rates nearly five times those of the 802.11b standard that the original AirPort used. With AirPort Express, Apple continues to advance wireless, delivering the first device to pack wireless networking, audio, printing and bridging capabilities into a single affordable, portable unit.
AirTunes Unleashes Your Music
AirPort Express and iTunes bring your music on your Mac or PC into your living room — or wherever in your home you have stereo or powered speakers.2 All you have to do is connect your sound system to the audio port on the AirPort Express Base Station using an audio cable (included in the optional AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit) and AirTunes lets you play your iTunes music through your stereo or powered speakers — wirelessly. iTunes automatically detects the connection of your remote speakers, so you just have to select them in the popup list that appears at the bottom of the iTunes window and click play.3
Enjoy your playlists, set iTunes to shuffle through your entire library or repeat your favorite songs over and over again — however you like to enjoy your music on iTunes, you can now enjoy it that way through your stereo speakers, wherever they're located in your house.
Buy more than one AirPort Express Base Station and connect one to every stereo or set of powered speakers in your house — one to your stereo in your living room and another to a pair of powered speakers in your kitchen, for example. Its small size and affordability make it perfect for having more than one. Imagine being able to play your iTunes music on whichever speakers in your house you prefer — or all at once.
Because AirPort Express is so compact, you can also easily take it along with your notebook computer to a friend's house and share your unique musical taste on your friend's stereo.
Add Music to Your Current Wireless Network
If you already have a wireless network in place, you can use AirPort Express to add music to its capabilities. Let's say, for example, you have AirPort Extreme set up in your den. There's no need to scrap this setup and create a whole new one with an AirPort Express Base Station, your DSL or cable modem, printer and stereo all in one place. Simply connect AirPort Express to your stereo in your favorite music room and plug it into an electrical outlet — it wirelessly links to your existing network, letting you play your music in your room of choice without moving anything or connecting anything else.
Connect Wirelessly
AirPort Express uses the 802.11g wireless standard to deliver fast data rates - up to a maximum 54 megabits per second1. It supports Macs equipped with an AirPort Extreme Card or older AirPort Card, and also supports Wi-Fi-compliant 802.11b or 802.11g Windows PCs. Everyone in your family can surf the web wire-free because AirPort Express provides simultaneous wireless Internet access via your DSL or cable modem for up to 10 computers4.
AirPort Express connects you and everyone in your family not only to the Internet but to each other. You can wirelessly share photos, movies and other files without having to worry about slow data transmissions. Nor do you have to concern yourself over a difficult network setup procedure. AirPort Express uses the Bonjour technology in Mac OS X to allow your AirPort-equipped Macs running Mac OS X to detect each other with no effort on your part — they discover each other just by virtue of being within the range of the network.
Extend Your Network
If you already have a wireless network in your home and would like to extend its range, AirPort Express is your answer. Suppose you want to connect to the Internet with your MacBook in an area that lies beyond the 150-foot range of your AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station. You can use AirPort Express as a wireless bridge to extend the range of your primary base station5.
There's no need for extra wires or cables — serving as a bridge, AirPort Express doesn't have to be physically connected to your primary base station or to your DSL or cable modem. Simply place AirPort Express within the range of your primary base station and near the area where you'd like to enjoy your wireless connection.
Easy Setup
Listen wirelessly, connect wirelessly, extend your network wirelessly, print wirelessly — no matter what you want to do with AirPort Express or whether you use a Mac or PC, you can bet it's a breeze to set up.
The AirPort Express Assistant software automatically detects what you have connected to AirPort Express — whether it's your stereo, DSL or cable modem or printer — then walks you through the easy steps to complete the setup7.
AirPort on the Go
Extremely portable, AirPort Express weighs less than seven ounces and fits in the palm of your hand. Take it with you in your laptop bag to use when you travel. Once you're in your hotel room, simply connect the AirPort Express Base Station to the room's Ethernet network and with your Wi-Fi compliant Mac or PC, you're instantly online — wirelessly
No manual reconfiguring required. The AirPort Express Assistant lets you store up to five profiles for different locations, so you simply have to switch from one stored profile to another, depending on where you're using AirPort Express at a given moment.
Share a Single Printer — Wirelessly
Have several computers in your home but only one printer? No problem. Just connect a printer to the USB port on the AirPort Express Base Station and the printer instantly becomes available to everyone on your wireless network6. No longer do you need to move your printer from one place to another to connect it to this or that computer. No more dealing with tangled cables or emailing files from one computer to another that's connected to the printer.
Secure Connection
Rest easy — AirPort Express takes strong measures to prevent unauthorized intrusion into your wireless network. It features a built-in firewall to protect you from gate-crashers from the Internet. It also features password protection and supports powerful encryption technologies including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) and 128-bit WEP encryption.
