Wi-Fi

With AirPort Express connected to your DSL or cable modem, up to 10 users at a time can surf the web, send email, annihilate the competition in multiplayer games, and much more — wire-free.1

 

Blazing performance.

Based on the IEEE 802.11n specification, AirPort Express features two antennas and uses a technology called multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) to transmit multiple data streams simultaneously. The result? AirPort Express delivers data transfer speeds up to five times those of previous-generation 802.11g wireless networks — while achieving up to twice the range.2

 

And with its support for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless frequencies, AirPort Express reduces the possibility of interference from appliances and cordless phones that use the 2.4GHz frequency.

 

 

 

More than the web.

AirPort Express connects people to each other as well. You can wirelessly share photos, movies, and other files without having to worry about slow data transmissions. Nor do you have to concern yourself with a difficult network setup. AirPort Express uses the Bonjour technology in OS X to allow your AirPort-equipped Mac computers to find each other with no effort on your part — they discover each other just by virtue of being in range of the network.

 

 

  

 

Extended range.

 

If you already have a wireless network in your home and would like to extend its range, AirPort Express is the answer. For example, suppose you want to extend the range of your current AirPort-based network to your backyard, garage, or attic. You can use AirPort Express as a wireless bridge to extend the range of your primary base station.3 There’s no need for extra wires or cables. Just place AirPort Express in range of your primary base station (either an AirPort Extreme Base Station or another AirPort Express Base Station) and near the area where you want your wireless connection. With its easy portability, you can even move AirPort Express from place to place. So if you want to connect wirelessly from your basement one day and your garage the next, just plug it in within range of the primary base station and in a spot near those areas.

 

 

Wireless to go.

Compact and portable, AirPort Express is also a great way to share Internet access when you go on the road. Say your hotel suite offers only a wired network connection. Just plug it into your AirPort Express and set up the wireless network with the easy-to-use AirPort Utility. 

 

Easy Setup

Set up your Wi-Fi network with your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac.

With the setup assistant built into iOS 5 and OS X Lion, you’re just a few taps or clicks away from setting up a new wireless network or extending your current one. All you need to do is plug in your AirPort Express and connect it to your DSL or cable modem. Then simply select your AirPort Express in Wi-Fi settings in iOS 5, or from the Wi-Fi menu in OS X Lion, and follow the instructions. The setup assistant does the rest. In less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee, your network is up and running.

 

 

 

 

Manage your wireless network from your iOS device or Mac.

Once your network is set up, AirPort Utility for iOS 5 and OS X Lion lets you manage and monitor your AirPort Express from your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac. It’s easier than ever to view the status of your Internet connection or add base stations to create a larger network. And if you want to do more — such as stream your music wirelessly or add a shared USB printer — it’s just as easy.

AirPlay

You’ve put together an extensive digital music collection in iTunes and arranged it into playlists to suit your every mood. Now you want to enjoy it in your living room on your home stereo, not just in the den, where your computer sits. You can, thanks to AirPort Express with AirPlay.

 

Plug. Play. Rock out.

AirPlay takes the music from the iTunes library on your computer and sends it wirelessly to any stereo or speakers in your home. All you have to do is plug an AirPort Express into an electrical outlet near those speakers, then connect them with an audio cable (sold separately).

 

In iTunes, you can choose which speakers you want your music to play on — in your den, living room, or bedroom. If you have more than one AirPort Express connected to speakers, you can play the same music on all your speakers at the same time to create a whole-house musical experience.

 

Party Central.

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 network. 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.

 

 

 

iPhone Remote settings

 

The remote, reinvented.

 

 If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, you can use it to control your iTunes library from any room in your home. Just download the Remote application for free at the App Store. Then you can browse music and movies, control volume, and choose any speakers connected to an AirPort Express or Apple TV. At last, a remote that rocks.

Wireless Printing

Ever wish you had more than one printer in your home — one for every computer so you never have to go far to print? Say you want to print a Google map from the living room, or your son wants to print his school report from his bedroom. Taking each computer into the den simply to print something is inconvenient, and buying a printer for every room is expensive.

 

 

A printer in every room. Virtually.

With wireless printing through AirPort Express, it’s almost like having a printer in every room of the house. AirPort Express uses the Mac- and PC-compatible Bonjour networking technology to let everyone in the house take advantage of one centrally available printer. Wirelessly, of course.*

 

 

 Good to print.

 

Here’s how simple it is to set up: Just plug the printer into the USB port on the AirPort Express Base Station, add it to the printer list on your Mac or PC, and you’re good to print — without a single cable tethering anyone’s computer to the printer.

 

If all you want to do is access your USB printer wirelessly, you don’t even need a broadband Internet connection. You can just set up your AirPort Express for wireless printing and that’s it.

 

 Security

The AirPort Express Base Station takes strong measures to keep your online world as safe as possible — from securing your base station to preventing outside intruders.

 

Worry-free networking.

It starts with the industry-standard encryption technologies built into AirPort Express, including WPA/WPA2 and 128-bit WEP.* When you turn on encryption — easy to do using AirPort Utility — you’ll ensure that only people with the correct password can join your wireless network.

 

Barring the network door.

AirPort Express includes a built-in firewall that creates a barrier between your network and the Internet, protecting your data from malicious Internet attacks. When you set up the base station, the firewall is automatically turned on to keep the bad guys out. For computers with a cable or DSL modem, using AirPort is actually safer than being directly connected to the modem.

 

Compatibility

 

Part Wi-Fi access point. Part wireless router. AirPort Express just works, seamlessly and wirelessly, with all your Wi-Fi devices. In fact, it’s the easiest way for everyone in your family to share a single broadband Internet connection and USB printer without messy cables.

 

Mac + PC

 

More than computers.

Computers are only part of the wireless story. When your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is in range, it will connect to your AirPort Express network to let you surf the web and more. In fact, iPhone and iPad models with Wi-Fi + 3G will automatically switch from the 3G network to your Wi-Fi network as soon as you walk in your front door. And if you have an Apple TV, you can use AirPort Express to stream your iTunes library to your widescreen TV. Whatever kind of Wi-Fi device you have, it’ll work with your AirPort Express.

 

Mac and PC friendly.

AirPort Express works effortlessly with any computer that uses Wi-Fi standards, whether it’s a Mac or a Dell, HP, IBM, or any other Windows-based PC. That’s because AirPort Express is compatible with computers using the 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n specifications.
