By Rich Brown on 25/03/2008

More Apple reviews , RRP: AU$129.00

The good:

  • New, faster 802.11n wireless standard
  • Same price as the original model
  • Audio streaming capability remains unique
  • Incredibly portable
  • Easy setup

The bad:

  • Not as fast as other 802.11n routers
  • Can't connect an external hard drive to the USB port
  • No Ethernet ports for wired clients

The bottomline:

Don't pick up a new, 802.11n-enabled AirPort Express if you're looking for superfast wireless networking performance. You should consider it, however, if you're in the market for a new Wi-Fi router that offers portability, ease of use, and the unique ability to stream iTunes over your network.
