The Bottom Line: The easiest and safest way to network your computers, and it's a APPLE product
I recently purchased a new G5 iMac and a new ibook. Both had bluetooth & Airport cards installed @ apple. I decided that I would make the jump into the wireless world and pick up and Airport Express.
Talk about easy easy easy set-up.
Installed all the software and made sure everything was up to date.
Plugged in the ethernet cable from my cable modem, plugged in the USB to my HP printer and plugged it into the wall on the 3rd floor of our townhouse and surfing the web in my backyard on my ibook.
This is the greatest little gadget apple has come up with in years ! Simple, small portable light and relatively inexpensive. True plug and play Mac design.
I can surf the web or check e-mail any where in our townhouse and even out in the driveway in my jeep. The best part of the wireless set-up is the fact that my wife and I can now share a common laser printer saving the hassle of e-mailing, or bluetooth beaming the document over to the imac, then printing it out. We can print from any location that we have a decent connection.
After seeing just how functional the Express was, I decided to splurge and pick up a 2nd express to beam iTunes to our media room . That is a really cool little feature that never fails to amaze us. We have also taken our Express on holiday with us and while @ my parents place, we plugged it in and turned there house into MAC wireless central for a family gathering. It was great to have 8 macs all running wirelessly on the express .
I can t express how much fun and functionality this little cigarette sized airport is.
It truly is an amazing wireless gateway !
