Apple adds 802.11n to AirPort Express

Apple releases a faster version of its AirPort Express networking hardware:

Now with blazing 802.11n, the affordable AirPort Express is powerful enough to run a home Wi-Fi network, yet small enough to take on the road.

Connect up to 10 users
Share your wireless network with up to 10 users.

Print from anywhere
Print documents, photos, and more from any room in the house to one central printer.

Stream your music
Play iTunes music through your stereo or powered speakers using AirTunes.

I've had the original version of the AirPort Express (802.11g) since they first shipped, though I haven't actually used it in a while. I used to use it as a basic wireless network range extender, and have taken it on the road to get wireless access in Ethernet-based hotel rooms. They are cool little devices, and I think the early issues they had with Windows have been resolved. Plus, the price ($99) is right.

Maybe it's a niche, but my iTunes library is far in excess of the 160GB on my Apple TV, so I've had to relegate on old powerbook running on my network as an iTunes servers as well as network Time Machine to the attached Drobo. Those two things could make the Extreme + driver or the Time Capule a credible, if limited competitor to Windows Home Server. WHS appears to be a great product, and I wish Apple would address the functionality gap. March 17, 2008 1:25 PM
